The resignations of the 21 MLAs after Jyotiraditya Scindia quit the Congress Tuesday has led the Kamal Nath govt in Madhya Pradesh to the brink of collapse
Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia quit the party Tuesday after a meeting with PM Modi. The Kamal Nath govt in Madhya Pradesh is now set to collapse.
It is too late for the Congress to get back Jyotiraditya Scindia. The BJP won’t be a bed of roses for him either, but he won’t be totally out of place.
Jyotiraditya Scindia, former Guna MP who has been with Congress for 18 years, quit party Tuesday saying this path has been drawing itself out over past year.
Six more Congress MLAs, including ministers, are also likely to resign from the Assembly. This will bring the strength of the House down and help BJP prove majority.
I’d written in Feb 2013 how Gandhi family could no longer swing votes for Congress. As we track ‘Cyclone Scindia’, that ‘National Interest’ has aged rather well.
The issue of inequality has assumed the blazing limelight at a time when inequality in India is said to be higher than it was in the British Raj. It's a ripe situation for half-truths and incendiary statements.
Speaking at launch of economist Surjit Bhalla’s book, S Jaishankar also highlights Gen Z’s engagement with ‘reel culture’, which has 'promoted awareness, created interest in many subjects'.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
