After Congress promised a minimum income guarantee of Rs 72,000/year to India's poorest, NITI Aayog vice-chairman Rajiv Kumar accused the party of “saying & doing anything to win elections”.
The telecom companies are unable to pay salaries, and a turnaround seems impossible. A bail-out for employees would be cheaper than what the govt pumps in.
Modi govt’s expansionary budget is bound to pose a challenge for RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, who’s chairing his first Monetary Policy Committee meeting.
As rivers and taps run dry, trouble is brewing over hydroelectric projects India is building along the Chenab River that Pakistan says will impact its water supply.
We have failed terribly at two important things. One, we are reacting to this issue only emotionally, not logically. And two, we are not asking the right questions.
WhatsApp privacy policy case is among a string of matters involving practices like restrictive platform rules, pricing & billing policies, reflecting India’s tight scrutiny of market dominance.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
May be Neeti Aayog wrong to comment, but the truth can’t be denied that a irresponsible commitment to lure the voters without assessing the quantum of the funds such promised is commendable. It will make our Indians idle and unproductive . More over if Rs.400/- is the minimum wage, how can anyone prove getting lesser than it. So stop befooling people. Let India work and justify the people to prove to be worth earning Rs.12000/-.
Narendra Modi’s prime task has been to weaken the national institutions, politicise them, fill up key posts, including even that of the nation’s President, with RSS stalwarts, and to weaken the judiciary. Remember the unprecedented, historic press conference by four senior Supreme Court judges to express their lack of confidence in their chief, that too in the context of a fake encounter killing case in which the ruling party chief, Amit Shah was the prime accused.
Violation of the Model Code of Conduct is a lesser issue. What is more important is to question whether someone in this position can be so blatantly political / partisan. It is evident that a government servant deputed to Niti Aayog cannot. Those who are political appointees have a little more latitude / autonomy perhaps, but they serve a federal institution that deals extensively with the states, many ruled by opposition parties. It is just a matter of time before service chiefs start criticising previous governments, their failure to procure weapons systems in time, perhaps to respond more forcefully to provocations. This is the new normal.
