BJP functions as a tradition and a family where relationships go beyond membership, the PM says to describe the party as more than just a political organisation.
In an atmosphere of global cacophony, India’s symbolic ‘maunvrat’ is the most effective instrument of diplomacy. It preserves New Delhi’s strategic ambiguity.
What’s wrong with the BJP’s chief ministers? The lackadaisical governance of many stems from their reading of election victories as a result of three Ms: Modi, majoritarianism, money.
The Modi government’s so-called ‘muscular image’ has been dented. India’s foreign policy is in shambles. And the sheen has gone off the BJP’s election wins.
According to World Nuclear Association, nuclear power accounts for around 9% of global electricity generation, with over 31 countries using it to meet part of their power demands.
PM Modi & Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal are expected to visit Muscat next week for signing of FTA. Trip coincides with discussions on India purchasing spare parts for its Jaguar fleet.
Bhutan remains a cornerstone of India’s Neighbourhood First policy, and continues to be largest recipient of Indian foreign assistance, receiving ₹2,150 crore in 2025.
Modi announced decision to attend virtually in a post on X. This comes days after his call with Trump on Diwali, following which US President said India won't buy 'much oil' from Russia.
In 2022, athletes claimed they were asked to wind up training early at Thyagraj Stadium so that the IAS couple could walk their dog. Then came the memes and public outrage.
Instead of buying more Mirages outright in early 2000s, the requirement was tweaked in favour of a medium-weight, multi-role fighter with Mirage-like performance.
Pakistan not only has zero chance of catching up with India in most areas, but will inevitably see the gap rising. Its leaders will offer its people the same snake oil in different bottles.
Very kind and generous analysis by Sagarika.
Perhaps her membership of BJP’s B-Team in Bengal obliged her to be generous.
Maybe her boss (who used to be a member of Vajpayee’s cabinet) asked her to go soft on Modi.
Actually the ‘Achhe Din’ dream, a.k.a Jumla, went into ICU the moment an arrogant Modi refused to concede the post of LoP to the INC in 2014. The utter inaction of people like Pawar and Mamata ensured that Modi continued his onslaught on the opposition.
The Jumla finally died on 8th Nov 2016 when our Supreme Leader wrecked the economy with the Notebandi fissco.
Sagarika laments the death of the ‘Achhe Din’ Jumla. What she refuses to acknowledge is the fact that Modi successfully delivered on the ‘Burrey Din’ nightmare for all those who love and fight for their ideal of Bharat.
Are you just out of your mind. Sluggish economy – India is growing at 8% per year ??
If BJP wins engineered election, then EVERY election that the CPIM won and the TMC won since 2011 is engineered.
The difference is only that BJPs win is engineered by the people.
Sagarika Ghosh is predictable, shrill and screeching in her opinions. She fails to sway the reader. The party she belongs to has mismanaged West Bengal. There’s no word on that. Neighboring Bangladesh is on fire. There’s no word on that. Her hatred of Modi is all consuming that she loses balance in her ear piercing rhetoric. The electorate is unconvinced with such bias and continues to vote the NDA back.
Anyone looking at the opening lines can understand that this piece is biased on one extreme. It pains to see how reporting could be so squint-eyed. It is fair to call out specific cases but this article has generalised everything related to the Indian government as bad. Typical of someone with narrow mindset like looking at a glass full of water and calling it empty because there’s still some portion of it which is unfilled. The way opening narrative to this piece has been set shames journalism and should not be termed so. This, at its best, can be called propaganda. The editor could have done better by not giving this opinion any space because it will not take time for people to call out ‘Print’.
Didi should speak about “valo din” in Bengal ! Did her own party take a vow to finish what the left rule started in Bengal ? It’s industries are non existent and here is didi waxing eloquence about sheen of election wins !

Why does she need to write?
Wasted my time which I will never get back!!
