Nitish Kumar has mastered the rhythm of renewal in Bihar. In a democracy of churn and chance, endurance may be the rarest—and most refined—form of political art.
While the move could free up grid capacity struggling to keep up with rapid renewable rollout, it would be a major setback for green ambitions. India aims to double clean power capacity to 500 gigawatts by the end of the decade.
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.
Prakash Karat is out to wantonly destroy his party which was, a decade ago, a formidable political force. His mindless action to withdraw from the UPA has led to CPI(M)’s irrelevance in Indian polity today. One wonders why the CPI(M) top brass tolerates his sectarian presence in the politbureau. In the last decade, the CPI(M) has vacated its space to BJP in Tripura and West Bengal. In Kerala, it is doubtful if the party could withstand the onslaughts of the RSS/BJP for long. The party, if it wants to be the bastion of liberal left in the country, should sack the villainous Karat from all posts in the party, and revamp its image by building coalitions with other political parties opposed to the BJP.
The party should have made amends to Prof Somnath Chatterjee. It had almost a decade to do so. 2. The Left may not be a strong political force any longer. However, it has a social conscience, often raises issues that matter to the poor. The recent peaceful march of farmers from Nasik to Bombay was one such instance.

Prakash Karat is a churlish and cheap rascal. A parasite, – like a tapeworm.
