BJP state chief Dilip Ghosh’s name is being pushed by supporters for CM post after TMC rebel Suvendu Adhikari emerges as tough challenger, party leaders say. There is also Mukul Roy.
Mukul Roy, Suvendu Adhikari and Sovan Chatterjee, all accused in Saradha chit fund scam & Narada sting cases, are now in BJP and hold significant posts.
The circular asked all district policemen to play Bengal CM’s awareness song on coronavirus in residential areas to mark Rabindranath Tagore’s birthday Friday.
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.
Completely agree with Dr. Prasad
These turncoats came to BJP seeing the opportunity and capability of the party.
But this capability is due to the grass root workers who worked relentlessly.
It’s unfortunate that the party matters in a province or even at the national level keep revolving around personalities. There are party workers/activists who may have personal ambitions, fine. But should they not keep the interest of the party unity, its effectiveness, its mission and above all, the interest of the province or the nation above their individual promotion? Its absence means individuals join a party not to do something good through its instrumentality — which was the principal objective of forming a political group, in the first place –but for self-aggrandizement. And, this also means political parties while recruiting members didn’t condition or train them to sacrifice their self for the larger interest of the organization or that of the province or the nation.
The BJP historically got stronger because its member-activists-leaders came from the self-less service (RSS) background. Its silent workers hardly fought among themselves for positions or even recognition. They would do quietly the work assigned to them and add their talent to the accomplishment of the mission at hand.
However, unbelievable it may be, the result is for everyone to see. The BJP, despite so much social tension and political chaos in every nook and corner of India, emerged as the largest membership-based party in the free democratic world. The only party that can claim to be larger than the BJP is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), but we know in China there’s no democracy.
The BJP and its ambitious workers-leaders will be well advised to keep in mind that the “personality-centric” politics in a party leads to its rapid decline — you can see the Congress where the entire party and its resources are dedicated to grooming “an individual” (the scion of a family) to make him the future PM of India when that individual is not showing any serious motivation.

None of them but will be a surprising face may be a young version of Dhankar
