An average single girl likes men who care about women’s cricket, skip the ‘harmless sexist jokes’ and listen to them rant without offering solutions. She still might call him a ‘performative male’ for ticking every box.
New CPI series will take 2024 as base year, will provide more accurate measure of inflation, spending on digital services. Expected to enhance representation and reliability, says Saurabh Garg.
The agreement, signed after meeting between Rajnath and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on sidelines of ADMM-Plus in Kuala Lumpur, aims to deepen bilateral ties in the critical sector.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
The difficulty with congress leadership is their inability to have a clear idea about the direction of their economic and forein policies which could look reassuring to the young electorate who have no love for the outdated socialist or liberal leftist ideas which were in currency before a few decades. The thought of nationalism is anathema to some of them. Some of them thought the BJP painted their party as anti Hindu and so to win back the trust of the Hindus they have to imitate the superficial acts of practicing Hindu segment. They know that old ideas of mixed economy have failed but cannot think of any alternative policy which can address the problems of today’s economic situations. So they simply find fault with every policy, action or statement of present government and show that the government has failed on all fronts. But people cannot be fooled by such negative propaganda.
The leaders of opposition parties are fighting to retain their interests and so know that accepting the congress as their leader will be looked upon by the voters as accepting its propaganda as right and this will harm them in the elections. They are practical minded and their voter base is restricted to small regions with well defined local problems. The difficulty of the Mahagathbandhan is really the difficulty of having a common agenda. Defeating the ruler cannot be the sole agenda of a country unless the ruler is a tyrant despot. When a large section of the people respect his integrity that cannot be the agenda.
If we look at what happens in UK democracy, which is our role model, the leader losing the election steps down and new leader with new ideas and discarding the baggage of the predecessors build the party afresh to make it appealing to the voters. In India either the leadership is so bankrupt or incapable of having any ability to analyse the causes of failure or the problems of the diversities become so complex that except making politically correct statements no serious discourse for thrashing out differences becomes possible.
We may not want Congress-mukt Bharat but certainly Gandhi-parivar-mukt Bharat. The utility of this family to India’s polity is over. It no longer serves as a unifier in a divided non-BJP politics. It is a moot point how many of the regional parties would like to have Rahul Gandhi as prime minister. In their view, dominance of Congress is as bad as that of BJP. The only solution under the circumstances is that Rahul Gandhi should declare in advance that he is not a prime ministerial candidate. This could be a pre-condition for opposition unity.
Congress wants a Congress Mukt Bharat. It is in self destructive mode. The Gandhi’s should have, if they really wanted Congress to survive, pulled out of the leadetship of the party. Who would like to after a retard like RaGa?
Author has done a good job of presenting his views about political future of the Congress party and President Rahul Gandhi. Thanks are due to him for that.
When we are discussing the possible scenario after the Lok Sabha election, I wish to ask this simple question: who is responsible for rise of Narendra Modi?
In 1984 hundreds of Sikhs were mercilessly killed but even till date the Sikh families who lost their near and dear ones have not got justice. It is obvious that all those who were in power in Delhi and in the Centre during 1985 to 2001 did not make sincere efforts to bring to book those who killed the innocent Sikhs in 1984.
In 2002 Godhra riots and post Godhra riots took place. Around two thousand innocent people, mostly Muslims, were killed during these riots. Not one Congress politician has shown moral courage to explain delay in prosecution of the guilty of 1984 Sikh killings. That is the truth.
Therefore, let us not ask this question again: who gave opportunity to Narendra Modi to establish himself on national stage?
My impression on reading this is that the writer, who is certainly NOT known to be favourably disposed towards either Modi or the BJP, is extremely disappointed and frustrated at the failure of the opposition in sealing the MGB, with Rahul Gandhi and his Congress as the new shining beacon of a resurgent UPA ( to say nothing of Congress itself, which certainly is itself very badly in NEED of resurgence). It also looks as if the writer has written off any chances of such a happening in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
“The author is a former editor and Congress member of Rajya Sabha.” No wonder this author is bemoaning lack of support from the other opposition parties to his source of funds, Congress! He must learn to be at least slightly independent in thought and action, rather than be a courtier to the corrupt relics of the dynasty!
Succinct yet absolutely correct. We yearn to see family mukt Congress.

Hope you have not lost your grey matter inside the skull.?
The Congress needs to do much more to make the opposition project succeed. It suffered a near death experience in 2014. At that point, it could not have envisioned that this could become a one term administration. Before R / M / C – Gujarat too was a close call – it had no kills to its credit. By contrast, the regional parties are credible forces on their turf. Absent their wholehearted cooperation and support, the Congress is in no position to come to power. 2. The Congress is very clear who should lead it; however, it cannot automatically extrapolate that to the coalition, should it come to power. To any reasonable observer, for the Congress to be ploughman’s lonely furrow looks delusional, almost suicidal. A few days remain for the Congress to get its act together.
WOW just what I was searchіng for. Came hеre by searching foг cry

No, we do not insist on a Congress mukth Bharath. We will be mighty pleased with a Family mukth Congress.
