Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Have to admire the guy who came up with the 72,000/year promise. Politically it's a brilliant move. It may not work, depends on the leader. But at least we need to acknowledge him. Somehow he figured out the whole hinduthva and nationalism thing. Raj, MP, CG elections were proof to it. You can admi...

Paging Niran of BRF fame from 2014 days! His on ground reports from UP and elsewhere was so informative. And of course Dilbu's jinx busting posts.

My source is from the film industry from back then. Although he was quite influential I could not vouchsafe the claim. It could well have been 2:1 as you say.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

This is my take on Govt versus RBI. The RBI has parked 8,22,000 crore of its surplus under two heads: Foreign Currency and Gold Revaluation Account and Contingency Fund Account. Of this the former comes to Rs6,90,000 crore and the latter, the 2,32,000 crore. There is another small element amounting ...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

The SC has power under the Constitution to pass such orders as it deems necessary to render complete justice. In that sense it can be the first and final court of jurisdiction. There is a view that it has been invoked in cases in recent times which undermines the judicial process in a hierarchical s...

A minor story from Kerala, but it may have repercussions at a later stage for the "national party" CPI(M). LDF does not fully disown Jaleel's party...

The economic opportunities and local support was missing in Meghalay compared to Assam and West Bengal. It was even more starkly absent in Mizoram which is another State bordering Bangladesh. E...

I saw the video, the news channels are misrepresenting what the CEC said. His point was that someone who is citizen of India but not in NRC Assam, but a citizen of India with proof from other states is still capable to vote in India. January 2019 will be the electoral roll to be used for 2019. Kire...

Karthik You are conflating Government and the political party that commands a majority in the Lok Sabha. BJP is not the Government. It is a party which happens to have formed the Govt after 2014 election. You are effectively saying that BJP should renounce its claim to form the Government in order t...

Regarding ABV and LKA it didn't help matters that the latter thought that he was more capable. From a administration point of view that was perhaps not off the mark. Unfortunately ABV had enjoyed greater mass support and also enjoyed greater acceptance from alliance parties. This often led to admini...
