Monomita NagJanuary 19, 20220

Goa Assembly Election is due next month, and there have been several interesting turns of events with the TMC taking root in the state. The party is now making a grand alliance with some opposition parties with the sole purpose of preventing BJP from coming to power. The parties in the process of forging an alliance other than TMC are the Congress, NCP, Goa Forward Party (GFP) and Maharastrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP). However, AAP is keeping itself away from such an alliance. Hurdles To Form The Alliance However, there is an apprehension against the alliances. It is being said that alliance will be difficult as the Goa Congress unit and national leaders are peeved with TMC. They have reservations because they oppose TMC's sustained effort to weaken the Congress in Goa. Apart fro...

Snehashish RoyJanuary 19, 20220

Delhi government has recently released the 'Desh Ke Mentor' programme in October 2021. The aim of this programme was to assist students studying in classes IX to XII with voluntary mentors, those are between the age of 18 and 35.

Centre Strikes Out Kashmir Press Club; A Serious Blow To Democracy

Snehashish RoyJanuary 19, 20220

The largest body of independent journalists in the valley, the Kashmir Press Club (KPC), has been permanently shut down and taken over by the Union government. The move is seen as the Centre's crackdown on the journalist fraternity in Kashmir.

UP Assembly Election: With Mayawati Being Absent From Ground, Dalit Votes Seem Scattering Among Parties

Snehashish RoyJanuary 18, 20220

The Dalit community accounts for as many as 21% of the total vote population in Uttar Pradesh. A section of the population that has decided the fate of politics in the state for the last couple of decades. Since its inception under the leadership of Kanshi Ram, Dalits have been supportive of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) ever since the 1990s. The party went into an overhaul after Mayawati took charge as the first Dalit woman in India to become a chief minister of a state. Mayawati's technique to amalgamate Dalits and Brahmins using the social engineering formula had given her major success in the 2007 Assembly elections. However, her activism in the current election season seems missing. The former chief minister of UP and social reformer has remained absent on the ground. Und...

Can Andhra Pradesh’s CM Make The State Free Of Liqour Before 2024 Election??

Monomita NagJanuary 15, 20220

To win over rural women votes the Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy had promised to make the state liquor free by 2024, when the state will go for Legislative Assembly election. This was also a good tactic to tarnish the image of his rival TDP Chief N. Chandrababu Naidu who had revoked the liquor ban in 1997 who had imposed the ban by his predecessor N.T.Rama Rao. The CM  had, however, planned to do it in a phased manner and had also initiated some steps towards it. JAGAN'S STRATEGY The women of the diehard tippers were the worst sufferers. It is recorded that the govt earns a significant amount of revenue from liquor, this proves that a very large number of people are habituated to drink regularly. Therefore, the ban will help him win women's support. Apart from this he had...
