After two years in office, Narendra Modi's second term is coming to a conclusion. Second, Rajiv Gandhi's assassination has been 30 years ago. Time to look at the political futures of India's two main political parties, which will both be celebrating their 100th birthdays in the summer of 2024. Our focus is on the present, and we won't linger on the past. The past may not always give the best indicator of the future in both mutual fund investing and politics.

As a consequence of Nitish Kumar's disobedience of his party leader and Union minister R.C.P. Singh about a Rajya Sabha seat, the BJP-Janata Dal (U) alliance in Bihar has been placed into a state of tension and doubt. This has caused the coalition to be in a position of uncertainty.

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 2, 20220

Sayani ChakrabortyMay 30, 20220

In his role as defence minister, he drew parallels between China's expansionist goals and those of Ger...
