EC’s Swift Response: Priyanka Gandhi, Himanta Biswa Sarma Served Notices For Controversial Statements

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 2, 20230

Priyanka Gandhi-Vadra of the Congress party and Himanta Biswa Sarma of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were both issued notifications by the Election Commission shortly after making controversial statements in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, respectively. Until December 5, the Election Commission has banned "yatras" headed by senior officials from promoting programs in the five states hosting elections and the byelection constituency in Nagaland. Quick response of ECI The quick response time of ECI is impressive. Political campaigns at the federal and state levels frequently involve using government resources, such as personnel and vehicles. And when the races heat up, politicians tend to sink to new lows in poisonous rhetoric. Since both Gandhi Vadra and Sarma are seasoned politicians ...

Revolutionising Political Finance: Congress Plans Crowdsourcing Portal For Fundraising Transparency

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 31, 20230

Congress plans to use a crowdsourcing portal to raise more funds, the Times of India reported citing sources. If it's anything like the current approach, the most noteworthy aspect will be a digital paper trail and, hopefully, more open political finance. Worldwide, it is tough to regulate political money. Although political parties exist independently of the state, they legislate on behalf of the government to establish rules governing their funding. There are two central tenets of regulation concerning political finance: limits on individual donations and transparency regarding funding. Since it is easy to circumvent limits if the donor is unknown, full disclosure of the funding source is more important. The world's leading democracies have had difficulty formulating a regulatory ...

Rural India’s Silent Revolution: Small Farmer Incomes — The Real Election Decider

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 17, 20230

Agricultural earnings have, historically speaking, been the factor that has determined which party wins elections. This factor is entirely unrelated to caste calculations or the commotion of populist measures. Seventy percent of people in rural India depend on agriculture as their primary source of income, and the majority of these people—85 percent—are small and marginal farmers who are frequently caught in a never-ending cycle of debt, poverty, and inadequate living standards. Since this is where small farmers' earnings have increased over time, it is easy to see why the chief ministers of the states of Telangana, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha continue to have substantial support from the farming community. The first two options are going to be in a vote. It would seem that KCR and Bhu...

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 11, 20230

Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, counterterrorism efforts have been intricate and multidimensional.

However, the decade has also had its fair share of high-profile terror acts, leading to a critical evaluation of counterterrorism efforts. Successes in the Fight Against Terrorism The government of Prime Minister Modi has been aggressive in its pursuit of terrorist organizations. In 2016, in response to a terrorist attack on an Indian military installation, the Indian Army carried out surgical strikes targeting terrorist launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This bold move demonstrated India's dedication to fighting terrorism. Security infrastructure and systems for exchan...

Pioneers Of 2024: Decoding The Dynamics Of ‘Semi-Final’ State Polls Before General Elections

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 11, 20230

The political climate in India is dynamic as the country prepares for another round of state assembly elections. These elections in 679 districts in the states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and Mizoram are very consequential. These elections are highly anticipated since they are the penultimate set of state assembly elections before the next federal elections and because the BJP and Congress directly compete in three of these states. Even while voters in various states have proven in the past to make different choices in assembly and Lok Sabha elections, there are underlying themes that might have long-lasting effects on the national stage. The Role of Surveys and the Caste System In recent assembly elections, caste is an important consideration. The Congress...

Balancing Act VS Minority Appeasement: How Mamata Banerjee Steered Politics In Bengal?

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 11, 20230

West Bengal's Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been a significant player in Indian politics for decades. Her almost a decade-long term in office has been met with praise and criticism. Her treatment of the state's minority populations has been a frequent topic of criticism in political debate. Mamata Banerjee's leadership has been accused of appeasement by her detractors, while her defenders maintain that she is just promoting communal unity and safeguarding the rights of all residents. Appeasement of the minority Mamata Banerjee is hardly the only Indian politician to face charges of attempting to "appease" a minority group. Many think she has been too accommodating to minorities, especially Muslims, to win their votes. Some of the most critical claims involve selective aid system...

Trudeau’s Political Crisis: Row In Canadian Parliament Over Nazi Salute

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 7, 20230

You'd think Justin Trudeau's brain would match his good looks. But think about the most recent disaster that Trudeau has created for himself and is only narrowly escaping. He hosted World War II resistance fighter Yaroslav Hunka in his House of Commons. It appears that he was unaware that Canada and Russia were actually on the same side of the conflict. This man was undoubtedly a member of the German armed forces. He was an actual blue Nazi and a member of the Waffen SS. Trudeau and the other members of the House rose to their feet to celebrate the 98-year-old Nazi. Like everyone else, he jumped to his feet to soak in the ovation. Yom Kippur is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, and it was then revealed that Canada had applauded a Nazi on the eve of this day. Trudeau dema

In addition, staff turnover needs a corresponding increase in medical professionals, broken CT scanners, overflowing trash ...
