New Vice President, Old Politics: How Can Opposition Defeat BJP?

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 8, 20220

Jagdeep Dhankhar's emphatic win in the vice-presidential elections is another indication of the BJP's supremacy in national politics. BJD and YSRCP, two "neutral" regional parties, were more likely to vote for Dhankhar than disenchanted opposition parties. In presidential and vice-presidential elections, the national ruling party always has an advantage in capturing votes from parties that are not completely aligned with it. Regional parties understand that a vote against the Centre isn't worth the effort of antagonising these two positions, which have little political value. But the near-disaster of the monsoon session should prompt the BJP to rethink its strategy. Legislators will always have dissenting views, regardless of who is in charge. In parliamentary politics, legislation,...

Rural Economy: A Potential Sector Needs Urgent Revival

Pooja YadavAugust 8, 20220

The COVID pandemic has resulted in one of the worst financial conditions. Manufacturing units are closed up, demand has plummeted, and job losses are seen across the sectors. The Union Finance Ministry has estimated that GDP will shrink 4.5 percent within the current year. However, hope has arisen from rural India as the agriculture sector seems to possess been relatively less stricken by the pandemic and consequent lockdown. Rural India never really went into a severe lockdown and thus harvested, procurement and consumer activity have remained more or less identical. Thus while GDP will decline, a rate of growth of two.5 percent is projected for agriculture this yr. In 2019-20 agriculture grew by 4% due to record production of food grains supported by good rains and a recovery in price...

Arpita SarkarAugust 6, 20220

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 6, 20220

This weekend, a US drone strike in Afghanistan killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, who helped Osama bin Laden plan September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States and helped al-Qaida survive and flourish in the years afterwards. On Monday, Vice President Joe Biden revealed that al-Zawahiri had been killed in Yemen, a landmark counterterrorism victory barely 11 months after American soldiers departed the nation.

In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, many Americans may not recall al-name, Zawahiri's but he remains a familiar face to them even after two decades: a slightly smirking guy with spectacles who was often photographed with Osama bin Laden...

Reform Of Indian Budget: Forgotten Priority That Causes Major Issues In Economy

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 5, 20220

Mark Twain stated want of money causes all evil. India's defence budget confirms this. The chronic lack of money for defence also fuels budgetary issues. These modifications may address Twainian evil, say many observers. They expect those adjustments will free up more spending money. It's unlikely. It's almost difficult to meet the military's demands without doubling the defence budget. Kin Hubbard said the easiest way to double your money is to fold it once and put it in your pocket. Only magic can do this. Reforms are essential because the budget can ensure effective utilisation of resources to achieve financially viable goals. This objective involves micro and macro adjustments that are conceptually linked. The MoD's Demands for Grant (DG) structure should be reexamined to enhance bu...

Raja has questioned "where has the money gone" in reference to enormous disparity between the amount earned from the sale of 5G spectrum (Rs 1.5 lakh crore) and the predicted income from it, alleging a "massive fraud" in recently finished 5G spectrum sales (Rs 5 lakh crore). Commencing on July 26 and ending on August 1, the 5G spectrum auction took place. The Hindustan Times reports that Raja questioned, "Where has the money gone?" on Thursday, August 4.

The UPA government's telecom minister, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) politician, was implicated in the suspected 2G fraud. While in opposition to the government, the BJP levelled a particularly vicious attack against Raja...
