Pakistan, Bangladeshis and terrorism are missing from the Modi-Shah election campaign. They seem to have understood the risks of cynical mixing of domestic political motivations with strategic national interests.
The Modi-Shah strategy of experimenting with CMs has been unravelling one after another. Manohar Lal Khattar may be the latest example to prove its fallacy.
Uttar Pradesh under Yogi has seen little change for the better. But Modi and Shah will now need him if they want to win UP again in 2022 and India in 2024.
Shahnawaz Hussain can pick up where Chirag Paswan had left off in ‘Mission Nitish Demolition’. The BJP can also ensure his induction as the sole Muslim face in Bihar cabinet.
The only way to look at Modi’s and Shah’s seeming indifference to departing allies has to be in the context of the BJP’s expansion plans and its willingness to shed unwanted, extra baggage.
BJP's impressive performance in Assam's Bodoland Territorial Council polls shows why Himanta Biswa Sarma has emerged as the election mastermind that Modi and Amit Shah need.
India cannot be blasé about change in any important capital in the world. Let's look at five key areas where US policy matters for India and how it may vary between Harris and Trump.
In Episode 1544 of CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at some top economists pointing to the pitfalls of ‘currency nationalism’ with data from 1991 to 2004.
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.
ha ha, the pain is actually of 370; why did you miss Ram Mandir.. rest as usual more you write more you guys are exposed. just read the comments… but keep up the good work.
Your mind is full of sickular thoughts about modi government, one thought that makes this nation to back again modi is his nationalist approach to be strong and show own strength of sovereignty, which made china to turn back
People of India wanted Article 370 to be killed? If that is the general impression, guess we are talking two sets of people in India. One majority set does not even know what it is. The other, agrees with the BJP on everything. This really tells us nothing of a PM who legally won a minority 35% of the national voting block..
Ma’am this article actually is an attempt to connect unrelated issues. Good JOURNALISM is about a neutral and balanced point of view. But this piece comes out as a completely biased narrative. Not value for money.
Lmao keep seething. Muslims will be kicked out in most humiliating way possible and begum, trust me, I’ll get a raging boner looking at them inbreds being humiliated. It’s not a far-right thing, it a Muslim infestation thing. Try getting yourself a husband woman. I know this is why you’re always so mad lol
What has article 370 to do with saving interest rates and farm laws? Only author’s fixation on Muslim victimhood.
and perhaps bitterness that revoking Article 370 was popular.
Pity the author. Can connect anything to convince self that BJP was “embarrassed”. Rather than author taking schadenfreude (find out the meaning!), she should worry that a limited intellect has nothing substantial to express.
As usual govt supporters cannot make a logical rebuttal without calling names of the author. Privatisation per se hasn’t got anything to do without article 370 or CAA or Ayodhya or anything else of the RSS’ pet projects which Modi seems to be pushing. The problem of Modi Sarkar is that they think they are the only smart people in town who have conjured 2 consecutive Lok Sabha majorities and others are stupid and can’t see through their true motives. They have also lied so often that no one trusts them anymore. Hence when they talk privatisation, people hear selling tax payer assets to Gujarati pals who have bankrolled his electoral bonds. Hence today farmers are upset and soon it will be PSU employees then small businesses and so on and so forth.
Your comment is generalizing the whole community by singling out a few ie classic racism.
Wow! What a cunning way to satiate inner desires of putting this Govt in bad light. One mistake of interest rates (and I also do not believe that it was a slip) during election times and you go on connecting un-connectable events and justifying illogical opposition in the same thread. Salute to your ingenuity. Let truth be told: 1) People have seen through the fakeness and illogical reasoning of the protests (farm bill or CAA); amplified by those ever-wanting to put the Govt in bad light- irrespective of the consequences to the Nation. 2) Low interest rate and dis-investment are the desired policy direction for long-term benefit to the economy and people; although it may seem unpopular and tough 3) The base for these bold-reforms have been set and the narrative has changed; they will come any way. 4) One has to be really naive when saying that they expected a prefect GST (a complete regime change) right at the beginning; the approach was to evolve with experience and thats what has been happening for good (Tax collections are improving yet taxes on individual items are lower than before). The PM and government continues to enjoy high popularity ratings
Cunning/desire to see this Government in bad light?? Wow. The GDP number since demonetization, demo itself, GST, China on LAC, Article 370 in foreign press, Highest internet shutdowns in the world, Highest GDP fall during Covid-19 -23.9%, Continuous employment numbers fall from around 407 million per year to less than 400 million per year now, LFPR rate fall from 43% to 38% since 2016 to 2020. Continuous Falling exports, rising Petrol taxes multiple times even when the prices were historic lows….You can name multiple items ranging from fundamental Economic issues to pure stupid and optics issue like response to Rihanna tweets by the Ministry of external affairs to the Most right wing EU MPs arranged tour to Kashmir…. And you still think that a journalist will have some sort of desire to see this Government in bad light. This Government does a more than optimum job at that. The Farmers protest is well and alive on the borders of Delhi with huge numbers, bandhs, active participation of these farmers in elections against the BJP, largest numbers pouring out in the anniversary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh….. I mean this space will fall short of an exhaustive list is drawn up.
Largest defence companies are private from Lockheed to dassault. Why should india worry about defence being privatised.
In fact babus should not be allowed to run any enterprise
The interest rate cut in small savings in the middle of elections was a politically suicidal decision by BJP. Having said that opposition was not able to encash it at all. In all others “roll backs” that Begum Zainab Sikandar points out, BJP is moving ahead, albeit at a slower pace. Take repeal of farm laws for instance. When was the last time Begum Sahiba last visited the Delhi borders and wrote on it? It is already receding from public memory. And with direct transfer of MSP into farmer’s account and with FCI asking for land records, this agitation of the rich farmers of Punjab, Haryana and Western UP, funded by Khalistani flag waving NRIs, will fizzle out over time in the summer heat.

Articles looks to set a narrative. No way connected just a noodle. Such writers will never succeed.

Yes.
Babus think that they are genius and got answer to each and every problem
Begum NAUTANKI please discuss lack of POPULATION CONTROL in SECULAR VOTERS community.
Your name and 370… get over 370, its over.
This woman flag bearer of perpetual Muslim victim card.
The Modi government should continue with its bold reforms. The beneficiaries of the corrupt ecosystem will obviously be irked.
