The BJP in poll-bound MP hopes to replicate the successful Gujarat election formula and beat anti-incumbency by ‘empowering’ workers with ID cards, micromanaging voter lists.
Through its network of such booth-level foot soldiers, who almost run a parallel administration system, the BJP micromanages voters, ensuring they come out to vote on election day.
The 5-member booth-level panels are an attempt by BJP to bolster panna pramukh system, which involves point-persons engaging with voters on every page of the electoral rolls.
In its first ever structured deal, Indian LPG companies are set to import almost 10% of their total needs from US. Trump has been pushing India to purchase more American energy.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
