In episode 538 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta delves into the latest mess in Congress where leaders are blaming UPA govts for poll losses to pave Rahul Gandhi's comeback.
Amar Singh’s friendships across political, corporate and Bollywood spheres made him what he was. The ‘fixer’ tag that came with it was only ‘rajniti’ for him.
In episode 531 of Cut The Clutter, Shekhar Gupta says Congress in its obsession with Gandhi-Nehru family lost most of its icons to BJP. It can’t afford to lose one more.
Sonia and Rahul Gandhi issued statements speaking highly of the former PM as part of celebrations marking the 29th anniversary of the 1991 economic reforms.
In a speech inaugurating the birth centenary celebrations of PV Narasimha Rao, former PM Manmohan Singh praised Rao’s economic reforms and his ability to take opposition into confidence.
Author Shefali Vaidya shared an image on Twitter, saying the former PM was holding a sweet box like a ‘family servant’, while Rahul and Sonia Gandhi were mingling with people.
Former PM Manmohan Singh said the death of the 20 soldiers cannot go in vain and the truth about the situation at LAC cannot be suppressed by ‘pliant allies' making 'false statements’.
Modi has always found a way to achieve his political goals— Article 370 to Ram Mandir. Shekhar Gupta can’t blame the PM's bureaucrats for his economic failures.
This added power for COAS Asim Munir isn’t very good for the ruling PML-N coalition. A more confident army chief could easily abandon the government and enter negotiations with Imran Khan.
After negative growth in 2022-23, air cargo volumes grew 18% year-on-year from October 2023 to March 2024 and 20% year-on-year from April 2024 to August 2024.
Troops patrolled up to Patrolling Point (PP) 10 on Monday. Though there are PP 10, 11, 12, 12A & 13 in Depsang Plains, it was decided that only one or two PPs would be patrolled.
While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
Who else in the Congress party would want to be the party president when you have to take all the blames but credit goes only to Gandhi family. That’s a reason no one is coming forward to be the president. Another reason is one can’t do anything without Gandhi family’s approval even after being party president. INC needs freedom from this family in order to come back into the game.
In 2024, BJP will be facing anti-incumbency. With Ram Mandir issue exhausted and National security compromised BJP is already pushed into a corner. However, thankfully it has its all-weather weapon – Mr. Rahul Gandhi at its disposal. The pandemic was a key issue to go ballistic over the state of the economy but Mr. Gandhi stirred the China pot in the wrong direction. Rahul’s repeated failings have only solidified his image as a “privileged” brat. He once again has exuded zero confidence that he is fit for the top job. His own admission that he does not care clearly indicates he received feedback that his rhetoric against PM Modi is not working. He chose to junk it and now seems determined to continue going down the “Chowkidar chor hai” path. There is nothing wrong with the path but the person walking the path. Kejriwal destroyed Sheila and reduced Congress to a non-entity walking down the same path. After all, credibility is everything in politics. Rahul’s credibility can be gauged by his performance in Amethi. All Mr. Modi needs is “economic” performance to turn the tide in his favor. Development Man vs Complaining Man will not work for Rahul as he cannot fetch votes for himself let alone his party.
