On 29 July 1969, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi delivered a speech in Lok Sabha on the nationalisation of 14 banks, saying the move was 'totally justified to ensure that hopes and aspirations of millions of our people are not sacrificed'.
This year, govt announced that 2nd and not 3rd revised estimates would be final. Here’s inside story on how this was achieved without compromising on quality of data.
Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
Well maybe but congress has nothing to loose. And BJP has everything to loose, so the boomerang may actually hit BJP twice one for the act and one for the ignorance.
Many of us still hope the general election campaign will focus on issues that matter to ordinary households, stay clear of emotive, polarising issues, avoid harsh invective, personal attacks. However, that seems unlikely. It is for both sides to consider if they would not – apart from the country itself – be better served by keeping both the election campaign and the political discourse more civil.
