Shah is pushing for either Gajendra Shekhawat or Arjun Ram Meghwal, both union ministers of state, but Raje insists on her cabinet colleague Shrichand Kriplani.
The two state budget this week stand out in contrast to any other in India, for uniqueness and long-term physical and intellectual impact in Rajasthan.
The BJP’s arrogance gave way to a sense of desperation. We in the Congress knew there was no way we were losing this battle, because we had worked for it.
Much like PM Modi, Raje rules by fear. But the concentration of power in her hands is among many factors behind the BJP's defeat in the Rajasthan bypolls.
South Africa is now holding a mirror to the world. It is led by a Black African captain, powered by a diverse group of players, and has just won the WTC and a series in India while sitting atop the Test rankings.
Once acquired by IAF, the medium transport aircraft (MTA) will replace both AN-32s and IL-76s, it is learnt. The idea behind the revamp is to meet modern operational needs.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
Hats Off to Ms.Vasundhara Raje Chief Minister Rajasthan ! She stuck to her guns very daringly to assert herself in face of a stiff resistence by all powerful BJP duo of NaMo and Amit Shah !
On the contrary, two stalwarts of BJP Mr.Lal Krishan Advani and Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi are still tight-lipped so far as issues of paramount national importance are concerned ! They are not to lose anything now at this juncture whereas Ms. Raje did run the risk of inviting trouble by opposing the wish of the two BJP top bigwigs !
When will Mr.Advani and Dr. Joshi break their silence is a suspense haunting the masses of the nation ?
May be they are waiting for an appropriate occasion which does not now seem to be very far off !
