Uddhav Thackeray’s Plight Deteriorates As Shiv Sena-Maha Vikas Aghadi Situation Aggravates

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 23, 20220

Shiv Sena's and the Maharashtra MVA government's woes are exacerbated by the fact that both his party and the coalition's clever players seemed naive when Eknath Shinde's revolt became clear. It's worth noting that Maharashtra's home minister is an NCP member; given the way police and politics interact, one could wonder whether Sena was informed by NCP that some 20 or so MLAs were about to defect to BJP-ruled Gujarat. Sharad Pawar loves to remain on top of the game no matter what happens in Maharashtra politics, and he regularly does so. Pawar's involvement might be intriguing if the drama over the future of MVA begins to unfold and if the BJP makes a strong drive for government formation. The fact that Uddhav Thackeray had a strong track record as an administrator and that the M...

Shiv Sena Alliance With NCP-Congress: Uddhav Thackeray In A Pivotal Role For Eknath Shinde’s Rebellion

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 23, 20220

Uddhav Thackeray's desperation to be Maharashtra's Chief Minister led to Saffron Shiv Sena becoming a supporter of the NCP-Congress, and he did so in order to raise his son as a potential rival to the dynamic Devendra Fadnavis, who had already proven his mettle as a leader and administrator during his time as Chief Minister from 2014 to 2019. During the 1992 riots, the Shiv Sena was popularly seen as a protector of Hindu interests since its members had been reared on the Hindutva ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray from infancy. Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of the NCP-Congress, suddenly begged the aggressive Shiv Sainik, who saw in his idols Shivaji Maharaj and Bal Thackeray the epitome of nationalism and Hindu cultural values, to support the NCP-Congress. Immediately, Shiv Sainiks f...

West Bengal Chancellor Bill: Legal, Constitutional Challenges Ahead Of Appointing CM As Varsity Chancellor

Snehashish RoyJune 15, 20220

West Bengal government on June 13 passed a bill that replaced the Governor with the chief minister as the chancellor of the state-run universities. The move is seen in line with other Opposition-led states that curtailed the Centre's authority. The West Bengal legislative assembly, using the West Bengal University Laws (Ammendment) Bill, replaced the Governor Jagdeep Dhankar with CM as the chancellor of state-run universities. However, the bill is yet to become a law which will need Governor Dhankar's sign.  Governor's powers on state-run universities as chancellor Governors, as chancellors, in most states have the power to officially dismiss a decision by the universities' decision-making bodies and to recruit vice-chancellors. They preside over the convocations organised in th...

Path Leading To 2024 Elections Seems Gloomy For Congress

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 9, 20220

It was odd that, despite Congress' strained relations, the other opposition parties remained silent or designated themselves as "like-minded" groups. 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. All non-Congress opposition parties with more than a 1% vote share don't sum up to 20% of the total vote, which was the Congress's total. This is true even for UPA allies like DMK and ...

Bihar CM Drops RCP Singh’s Name From Rajya Sabha Nomination Citing Discontent Over BJP-JDU Coalition

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 7, 20220

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. Nitish Kumar's activities have directly contributed to the growth of tension and uncertainty in Bihar as a direct consequence of the fact that both parties in the state are vying to create an alliance government as quickly as possible. Because of what has transpired, Singh will be obliged to step down from the position he now holds. On the other hand, Mr. Kumar's choice to turn down Mr. Singh's application for the office of Union minister is more than just an oversight on his part. It is quite permiss...

Snehashish RoyMay 27, 20220
