Advani’s BJP fought back after being reduced to 2 in 1984. Congress is fleeing with 52, leaving fight with Modi to activists, intellectuals, PIL warriors.
In his memoirs, J.P. Goyal, a key lawyer for Raj Narain in his case against Indira Gandhi, wrote about meeting detained opposition leaders during the 1975 Emergency.
With his cameo in Bads of Bollywood, Emraan Hashmi, who has long shifted away from his signature bold image, got the chance to revive his boyhood charm.
SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
There were no plans to have Mk1A version. However, compromise was reached between HAL & IAF in 2015 since original plan for getting Mk2 would've been time-consuming affair.
Many really smart people now share the position that playing cricket with Pakistan is politically, strategically and morally wrong. It is just a poor appreciation of competitive sport.
He is just a poor writer who is more like a courtier singing paeans than a serious political analyst capable of producing convincing substance. No trolls required for such superficiality.
Congress dynasty had fooled hindus and muslims of this country since independence. Though this party clearly shows pro Muslims but anti Hindus because they think Hindu ideology is based on forgiveness while submission to the Muslim community comes as a savior to their ideology along with a huge vote bank. However, this party keeps fooling Muslims as well. They never cared about muslims for their real development. There is no doubt this party is indeed a traitor that can be seen from the visit of Mani Shankar Aiyar to Pakistan pleading and literally begging Pakistani constitution of support to Congress party right before their media recording. We also know who created the Kashmir issue and which party is responsible for it.
Shivam Vij,
Why do you think that people are stupid enough to not to recognize your hidden agenda.
Wake up Shivam Vij. No one really cares about congress dynasty anymore. Rahul Gandhi and his ancestors’s contributions are only to support terrorism, bigotry, bias to one community, support to China, ignorance against Indian soldiers, snubbing of Army attack in Pakistan, Hindu culture and ethics, supporting corruption and riots. These are their achievements for this country but now they can’t fool indians any more.
“Rahul Gandhi has been labelled incompetent and incapable but Narendra Modi himself has never called him that. Rahul’s image was created through social media jokes and memes that started circulating organically in 2013.”
Be honest and introspect the reason for this label Shivam JI. When it comes to Rahul Gandhi don’t become Gandhi JI ke bandar, just like you don’t want others to become one.
So far, I am unable to get impressed with any one article by Shivam Vij. Either he goes totally negative on certain subject matters or he is unable to communicate what he really want to say. Most importantly, while looking at the comment section, one can really understand how the author has failed in his narration and I feel that most of the time, there was big let down from Shivam. Better to take a break and come a fresh. By the way the article is about shunning the negativity. That can happen only if you pause and look at what you have done earlier. In continuity, we are more mechanic, not realizing the mistakes we make.
The economy is the incumbent’s Achilles heel. If things continue like this, the Opposition could as well sit under the tree and wait for the apple to fall on its head. It really is that bad, despite the media being so mild. This is an issue on which the opposition has to be focused, relentless. As the column suggests, it needs to put some good ideas on how it will improve the situation. Recall that the Congress manifesto was well received. 2. On social issues and communalism, the Congress has to take a clear, principled stand, no playing games. Muslims, Dalits and Adivasis add up to a lot of votes. 3. Where the Congress / regional parties are in power, they have to deliver better governance and development than a majority of BJP CMs seem to be doing. There is a growing chasm between electoral success and performance, which is subject to the law of gravity. 4. Hang together or hang separately. That the Opposition must learn.
An ardent supporter of a sham, opportunistic coalition is scared to say that he wants a coterie of the corrupt to govern India. Your prediction for 2019 has already failed. Keep dreaming and praying that Shrimati Priyanka Gandhi JI will turn out to be your messiah.
Personally I have no strong political preferences / prejudices. If you kindly read my submission once again, there is disappointment over the economic situation, which affects everyone. Our support for a party should not make us oblivious to shortcomings in delivery, just as we should appreciate good work that is being done by any dispensation.
I completely agree with observations of Mr Shivam Vij
Shivam should know that the simple question- how to give jobs to unemployed is the most difficult to answer. If he thinks any leader knew the answer but did not come forward to say so and instead went on Modi hate campaign, Shivam is too naive. Instead of turning another Kumar Ketkar for ThePrint, Shivam should take a break and think afresh.
This guys is a looser. If he loves Iqbal, father of two nation theory, then he can go and settle in Pakistan where his moronic writing should be well received. I hate ThePrint to give him so much space that he is churning out nonsense every other second day… Kick him out. There should be some quality in journalism, not just the sheer propaganda…
Modi is exactly where Indira Gandhi was in 1971. Economic slowdown can eventually take him down, but it will require someone like Jai Prakash Narayan. on national scene. i
Excellent article. but be wary of the trolls and of the perception battle as I can see you are already on Bjp’s radar.
