Pakistan’s reported air strikes on Kabul last night, coinciding with Acting Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi’s visit to India, seem intended to send...
In service with the British military since 2019, it is also known as the Martlet missile. Ukrainians have also deployed these missiles against Russian troops.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
Modi magic has gone because of farmers distress, demonetization, hate politicas, Yogi, GST, fuel prices, less purchasing power with women, no jobs, unfulfilled promises made during 2014 election rallies, constant bickering against the Congress and Rahul Gandhi and BJP has nothing new to offer in terms of ease of business like they did in Gujarat. People in the south are not interested in Ram Mandir because they have their own mandirs and own super Gods. Modi has not spoken to women voters and not asked them what they want for their home and hearth. Jai Hind. Jai Karnataka and Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
My name is Bisht, Ajay Bisht, as James Bond would have said …
Brilliant Analysis !!
Two more fallout of these results, the smaller parties in Mahagatbandhan cannot deny Rahul Gandhi the PM candidature now and congress mukt bharat will be forgotten quickly.
It is not very surprising that the BJP was not able to retain their States and breaking new grounds in the States like Telangana and Mizoram. The Campaigning in these States clearly indicated the absence of formidable local leaders, particularly among the contesting ones. Both BJP and Congress heavily depended on their Central leaders for this purpose. This, in my view is not a fair thing to do. It is the local candidates who would be eventually be ruling if voted to power and for campaigning the Central leaders is something not acceptable except as exception. Moreover the elections to these States or for that matter any State are necessarily to be fought on the local issues of the respective States and not the strengths and weaknesses of their Central leaderships as wqs done. Both the major parties indulged in mudslinging on their Central Leadership like corruption, being Hindu, Rafale deal etc., etc. The important point to be noticed in the results is the dissatisfaction of the people with incumbent dispensation. This can not be faulted. Yes, agreed, it could be the failure of the BJP governments to come up to the expectations to the people to deserve defeat. But what is the achievement the Congress Party to deserve the win ? Incomprehensible. This is where I feel lies the weakness of the elections in our Country. There is obviously no other choice for the people to vote for BJP if they dislike Congress and vice versa. I strongly feel the BJP may deserve this fate but certainly not the Congress this jubilation. It was certainly a Hobson’s choice for the people to vote for Congress. There wqs no alternative However, it is for the Congress Party now to cash in on the goodwill that has been created by this result to mend their ways in a big way to realize the dream of coming to power at Centre in 2019. And for the BJP it is time to introspect on their strategies and course correction measures in administration rather than banking heavily on their one-man army called Modi.
Other issues can be discussed separately. Media, one fears, is a doubled edged sword. Some constituents are now so shorn of any pretence of fairness, impartiality, objectivity, they will finally prove to be a liability. They have failed in their duty both to speak truth to power and to hold power to account. No feedback function to allow for midcourse corrections in good time. An echo chamber that provides transient comfort, till the EVMs deliver the bad news.

I wish people stop using the Yogi title for Adityanath (or whatever his real name is). He does not deserve such exaltation.
