Punjab Election: With Bare Representation Of Women, Political Parties Focused On Disparate ‘Change’ In State

Snehashish RoyJanuary 31, 20220

'Breaking the glass ceiling' has been one of the war cries across political parties during elections to attract more women voters. Every leader, representing any party, will be seen remarking in favour of increased women participation in politics. However, looking at the most revered candidates' lists for the Punjab Assembly election, a dearth is seen in the number of women candidates. Despite a high-profile campaign launched by the Congress in Uttar Pradesh surrounding women, the echo does not seem to reach Punjab. In UP, Congress promised to dedicate 40% of its tickets to women. Whereas, only 11 out of 109 seats are given to them in Punjab. The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)-Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) alliance announced 117 candidates and only 5 of them are women. The Aam Aadmi ...

Pakistan Defence Minister Takes A Jibe At Imran Khan For Neglecting Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Monomita NagJanuary 29, 20220

The wind of change is blowing in Pakistan. Prime Minister Imran Khan seems to be in deep trouble. It is reported that he has lost the support of his own party and also most importantly, the backing of the army. The cause of concern is a serious attack on the Prime Minister by the country's defence minister Pervez Khattak. He charged PM Imran with neglecting Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and his abysmal failure to handle internal security. Khattak's dissatisfaction with Imran's way of running the government is important because the minister has the backing of 80 legislators in the lower house of the country's parliament, the National Assembly. Khattak attacked Imran that KP is being neglected with regard to the provision of gas and electricity,  while these facilities are being enjoye...

Sonia SolankiJanuary 29, 20220

RLD chief Jayant Chaudhary, in between all the speculations, has declined the invitation of the BJP. He said that he is not going to cheat his farmers and people who have put trust in him.

The offer came in under the new strategy by the BJP to woo the Jat voters, especially in the western UP. There is no denying that on the ground, BJP is facing a huge backlash from the farmers. These farmers were an integral part of the farmer's protest against three agricultural laws, that were repealed after one year of facing opposition. RLD Chief Role In Western UP Jayant Chaudhary has a huge base of Jat followers owing to his legacy. Due to his popularity in western UP, Akhilesh Ya...

UP Elections 2022: CM Adityanath Invokes Jinnah To Attack Opposition, Ignores Defence Minister’s Advice

Snehashish RoyJanuary 28, 20220

Political parties show their liveliness just as when elections are around the corner. It is a common aspect of Indian politics. Likewise, taking jibes at each other has become subliminally acceptable. Just like other political parties, one of the favourite comebacks of the BJP is "Jinnah." The chief minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath recently took to Twitter and wrote, “They (Opposition) are worshipers of ‘Jinnah’, we are worshipers of ‘Sardar Patel’. Pakistan is dear to them, we sacrifice our lives on Maa Bharati.” This came following the Union defence minister Rajnath Singh's take on invoking Muhammad Ali Jinnah's name during elections. “I do not know why Pakistan’s founder Jinnah’s name is often invoked during elections. For those who want to politicise this… in U...
