Snehashish RoyJune 18, 20220

Union government has recently rolled out the Agnipath scheme to recruit soldiers in the Armed forces for the duration of four years. The recruitment drives will be organised for youth aged between 17.5 to 21 years directly from their educational institutions. The scheme has, however, failed to make a mark among youth aspirants and they have been registering their protests. They have turned violent in some places across the country, especially in Bihar. Many are believing the scheme aims to curtail the financial benefit, including the pension system.  The BSP chief Mayawati had earlier said in a tweet that the "uneasiness spread among the youth regarding the new recruitment system in the army is causing anxiety" amid rising inflation, unemployment and poverty.

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 ...

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.

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...
