SAD-BJP break-up could see a tectonic shift in Punjab’s electoral ecosystem with Akalis expecting to gain enormously from the move and BJP set to lose ground.
The decision, announced by Sukhbir Badal, was taken at Akali Dal core committee meeting. Badal said govt didn't listen to the Akalis in honouring sentiments of farmers.
The JD(U) is the second BJP ally to break ranks over the farm bills and is now asking for including provisions that punish companies that buy produce from farmers below MSP.
In episode 571 of #CutTheClutter, ThePrint’s Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta declutters the bills and explains the changes it will bring to farmers and for end customers.
Speaking at a virtual launch of rail projects in Bihar, PM Modi said these bills are the need of the country and farmers will no longer remain in shackles.
Both Akalis and BJP are considering the future of their alliance after Harsimrat Badal resigned as food processing industries minister in Narendra Modi’s cabinet.
SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal had said that his party's future course of action and whether to stay in the BJP-led alliance or not will be decided in a party meeting later.
With the ongoing conflict at the Red Sea, India needs to take a long-term view of the PLI scheme and its ambition to emerge as a hub of shipping containers.
Data shows large public sector banks received highest number of complaints in absolute terms, but fared better than several private banks when looked at on complaints-per-branch basis.
For BJP, CAA was strategic move that did not quite work out because those it would benefit could’ve been accommodated under existing laws, and new entrants would remain excluded.
I fail to understand how split with BJP is going to benefit Akali Dal. BJP was never a major power until the advent of Modi in 2014. The fact that BJP held its horses in deference to the stature of Badal and didn’t dump Akali in 2014 , 2017 & 2019 only proves their commitment to Alliance. However Akali Dal encouraged corruption and was highly unpopular. In 2012 it retained power mainly due to good showing by BJP in urban areas. BJP always content to play 2nd fiddle harmed its long term interest and growth. Akali’ s have nothing new to offer and it would be miracle if can come back to power again. Dalits are more inclined towards Congress than Akali. Loss of urban support will hurt Akali badly and may push them in the arms of militants.
The Crooked Badal Clan Have Tried To Hijack The Sikh Farmer Agitation To save there Finished Party And Vote Bank. Since The Year 1997 During 3 Terms they Have Ruined The Punjab State With There Corruption Loot Of Peoples Land/Property/ Business, Rubbish Infastructure Development Buildings/ Roads/Bridges Destroyed The History And Culture and Played Politics Under The Fake Garb Of Religion/Identity.
Modi government cannot be trusted. Finance minister is trying to be like Hillary Clinton. Amassing funds under prime minister fund and enriching herself.
The SAD will do well to study the fate of the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra. The signs are ominous & worrying for the SAD. Destruction & irrelevance lies ahead.
