Despite growing passenger volume, 11 out of 14 carriers reported losses in 2023-24. IndiGo recorded profit of Rs 8,167 crore, which reduced to Rs 7.253 crore in 2024-25.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
Last para is classic example of the tactics used by these leftists. Ashutosh Varshney becomes renowned thinker and scholar. Now in some other article, Mr Ashutosh will praise someone Mr. X as renowned thinker and that Mr. X will then praise MR. Kumar Ketkar as renowned impartial thinker and scholar and eminent person. This cycle is an old tactic used (unfortunately successfully) by these Marxists for so many decades that there was virtually a monopoly on eminence by these guys. Alas, now people see through these games easily.
Modiji should pursue what he was voted for that is making India free from shackles and manacles of overt and covert state interventionism in peoples basic economic right. Instead of putting India into debt by buying poor peoples socks, he should aggressively pursue in creation of basic infrastructures, reform education, reform the police, solidify free market and also eliminate filthy bureaucracy that undermines India’s growth. I shall vote for him one more time so that he gets majority in the upper house as well as the lower house so that he can bring upon necessary changes. If he does not do well then I will never vote again. He must not ruin this generation pursuing impractical economic policies like congress did the previous 2 generation.
@Aditi Mahajan – Every word you said is true. But you left your comment without suggesting an alternative like those frustrated ranters of the Left Liberal dispensation.
To carry on from where you’ve left and in consummation, I would mangle Sherlock Holmes’ philosophy of “Science of Deduction” coined by Arthur C Doyle that goes “When all impossibilities have been eliminated, whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth.”
So that leaves you with Modi and only Modi… Love him or hate him, you’ve got none else. So bear with him and by gnashing less, you can still have your teeth to bite into marshmallows if not hard cheese.
Modi is a showman. He missed his best profession in being an actor in Bollywood. He is only after being in the limelight & easily manipulated by his Crony capitalists. Some believed that he would be a successful PM as he had come from the grass roots. These are the bhakts who after three years of Modi rule are still waiting for the incredible to happen. Anyone who displays the kind of hate that is displayed by Modi just can’t be a good leader. A good leader is one who has compassion, is willing to carry the can & take the rap on the knuckles for failures & also admit to mistakes & even give the devil his due. One so far has not seen any such traits in Modi. I only see him as a half baked one eyed Jack amongst the blind.
Kumar has always been rabidly anti-BJP. Secularists and leftist liberals have viscerally hated Modi since 2002 and have been jealous of his success as he became Prime Minster in 2014 and continues to a mass, popular leader even after demonetization and GST! This group keeps on attacking him and his government just as a matter of habit. The latest wise crack is that Modi is both leftist and rightist at the same time! (unless this is their way explaining ‘Sabka Sath Sabka vikas’ !!)
Modi is driven by his vision and ideas. Because of his sincerity and clean image, people at large find him acceptable. Modi has done great things in last 3 years but he is not without shortcomings. While he has done very well on foreign policy and strategic issues, he is surely under performing in areas which are domains of finance, home, agriculture,industry, labor, education and defense ministries. He needs much more capable ministers in these places. He should appoint experienced technocrats (like a project managers) who will deliver to him, with Modi giving the political cover for the various policy initiatives. These ministers could do public relations and take care of party and parliamentary work.
No Prime Minister can be ten on ten; so long as his report card is mostly positive, India has found a right leader for this time, given that 10 years of UPA have been largely a waste of time.
In the meanwhile, Kumar and Varshney (and their ilk) can keep inventing new ways to explain Modi phenomenon!! Modi and BJP are here to stay for a long time.
The biggest mistake made by all manners of analysts is in thinking that Modi can be a “perfect” Anything! He is half baked in his wisdom, and really lacks any grip on anything that needs digging in heels and doing the unglamorous hardwork. He is a talker, and India got seduced by what is commonly called Bol Bachchan. Quiz him in depth about anything and he ll have no clue beyond the superficial. Even povertarianism needs some amount of conviction. This one sways in the winds like daffodils except it’s not a pretty sight. He will meet his match when he dithers on the temple, because he’s not particularly religious or sound in his knowledge of Hinduism also. From what he talks, he faffs a lot – any learned person who’s studied religion will tell you. He probably fancies himself as some sort of a Banking expert, considering his foolish daredevilry with a half baked plan for demonetisation. But otherwise, he’s seriously not very smart. It will pain young Indians to realise that a PM can be not-very-bright, but that’s what this is. He interferes too much to truly leave India to free market capitalism, and even his right wing religious philosophy banks on violence and goondaism. He’s not original. So wait for everyone to realise this after 7 years, and then thank him for all the toilets he builds – the only idea that has any worth. Any person of any ideological hue would be a fool to trust this one. Zero conviction. He’s just a cynical anti-Congress ranter — there’s a million like that in every nook and corner. Nothing special
Left, right or centre, two things matter : effective governance and economic development. With the party controlling most states, barring the South, it must worry about the former. Rajasthan, Haryana, now Uttar Pradesh are giving a poor account of themselves. That will make reelection difficult locally and also undermine the national brand. As far as growth is concerned, the management of the economy has been indifferent. That will be the foremost challenge in 2019.
Alas! no one barely reads or comments on theprint, and the bandwagon leftist media. But still they are able to foot huge bills. What colour is it, BLACK OR WHITE?

waste of time. 1 or 2 more articles as such and I’ll definitely be not following this page anymore.
