To compete for a limited number of jobs, India has a large supply-demand mismatch, which has encouraged widespread corruption. One major manifestation of this corruption is the widespread use of paper leaks in everything from Grade 10 and 12 exams to government job fairs. But there are some states that stand out as being especially vulnerable, and Rajasthan is one of them after reporting yet another scandal on Saturday. This time, over 3 lakh people were impacted when a senior teacher recruitment exam had to be cancelled due to a leaked paper. The REET for primary and upper primary teachers had over 16 lakh applicants when it was cancelled earlier this year. Aspiring secretaries, cops, and rangers have all experienced the same fate. It's bad enough having to retake an exam for no go...

India Must Boost Its Counterintelligence As The World Scenario Deteriorates And Fluctuates

Sayani ChakrabortyJanuary 2, 20230

The suspicious murders in Odisha of a Russian businessman and politician who was a vocal Putin opponent should raise red flags in India's security services. The politician's death has been ruled accidental for the time being, but numerous questions have been raised because the local police did not follow standard operating procedure and keep the viscera following the post-mortem. A hospital window in Moscow is where the chairman of Russia's second-largest oil business met his untimely end. Like many others, he had demanded that Russia halt its military operation. Deadly mysteries have been around nearly as long as political intrigue and warfare on a global scale. In addition, it is common knowledge that intelligence agencies from time to time engage in what the Americans call "extre...

“Rahul Gandhi Not Ram, But BJP On Ravana’s Path ,” Says Salman Khurshid: Deets Inside!

SHIVANI UJJAINWALDecember 28, 20220

BJP leaders responded angrily to Salman Khurshid's remarks about Rahul Gandhi and Lord Ram. Khurshid stated on Wednesday that BJP is following Ravana's route and that Rahul Gandhi is not Ram in the midst of the argument. Salman Khurshid, a congressman, recently stirred up controversy by equating Rahul Gandhi to Lord Ram. He fueled it by asserting that Rahul Gandhi is not Lord Ram and that the BJP is following Ravana's path on Wednesday. "Rahul Gandhi is not Lord Ram, but he can follow the path shown by Lord Ram. They (BJP) are saying that you do not have the right to walk on it. We have an objection as they are following the path of Ravana instead of Ram," Salman Khurshid said to news agency ANI. The controversy started with speculations over why Rahul Gandhi is not feeling cold in

‘Keep Sharp Weapons At Home To Cut Enemy’s Head’: BJP’s Pragya Singh Thakur Condemns ‘Love Jihad’

Sayani ChakrabortyDecember 27, 20220

The BJP lawmaker, speaking at a rally in Shivamogga, Karnataka, condemned "love jihad" and urged Hindus to refrain from sending their children to missionary schools. Pragya Singh Thakur, a member of Parliament for the right-wing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), caused a stir on December 25 when he urged a crowd in Shivamogga, Karnataka, to "keep weapons at home" and "chop enemy's head." The BJP lawmaker claimed as much while speaking at the annual convention of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike's South Region in the city of Karnataka. Keep the knives you use to chop veggies in good working order. Not sure when something will happen. Anyone can and should take measures to ensure their own safety. If someone breaks into our home and starts attacking us, we have every right to d...

Opposition In India Has Miniscule Influence In Elections And It Is Likely To Continue

Sayani ChakrabortyDecember 24, 20220

When Suhas Palshikar argues that one party dominates the political landscape, voters follow every election in the hopes that a new contender will emerge to challenge the incumbent. Recent midterm elections in November and December of 2022 were no different. Even the municipal elections in Delhi were essentially treated as if they were for the state assembly. Elections for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) have gained national attention alongside those in the neighbouring states of Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat. When the BJP, which had previously controlled all three of Delhi's pre-merger municipal councils, was defeated by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the latter became the centre of attention rather than the Modi government. A stable dominance of one party leads to churning among ...

Modi May Help A Fractured Opposition Learn The Democratic Connotation!

Sayani ChakrabortyDecember 22, 20220

In spite of setbacks in Delhi and Himachal Pradesh, the BJP's overwhelming victory in Gujarat proved once again that Narendra Modi is to the voting booth what Amitabh Bachchan is to the movie office: an absolute guarantee of massive financial success. The PM's decision to prioritise development above populist handouts was a major factor in the lotus party's resounding victory in the state election. However, the Opposition, represented by AAP and Congress, contributed to the saffron juggernaut by failing to show a united front and splitting any anti-incumbency votes. This made a BJP victory inevitable. The Opposition has often proven to be more divisive within itself than it is with its purported electoral foe. As a result, the dance of democracy, which is supposed to be a planned...

15 Recently-Elected MLAs Appointed Into Gujarat Cabinet: Check List Inside!

RaviDecember 13, 20220

In the middle of the assumptions that some new faces would be appointed to the Gujarat cabinet, around 17 lately-elected MLAs in the state took pledge as the ministers of Gujarat. During an event that took place at the Helipad Ground near Secretariat, Bhupendra Patel was the 18th Chief Minister of Gujarat, who was allocated the pledge by Governor Acharya Devvrat. Some of the chief leaders from the BJP were there at the grandiose ceremony, comprising PM Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and the chief ministers of various BJP-governed states. Some of the most crucial BJP leaders from Gujarat were former Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi, Parshottambhai Odhavjibhai Solanki, Jagdish Vishwakarma Mukeshbhai Zinabhai Patel, and Bachubhai Khabad, among other MLAs who took oath as the

Gujarat Election: BJP Promises To Create Gujarat A $1 Trillion Economy

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 30, 20220

With the long-awaited release of the BJP's election platform, it's time to take a closer look at the poll-promises fight taking place in the Gujarat assembly elections. With promises to create a Uniform Civil Code, a bill to seize the assets of rioters, a deradicalization cell within the police force, and stringent limitations on religious conversion, the manifesto plays to the Hindutva gallery. That's not just empty talk. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demonstrated that these kinds of promises resonate with a certain subset of Gujarat voters, and neither the Congress nor the occasional Hindutva-lite excursions by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have offered an effective response. Despite BJP's seeming dominance in shaping the terms of public debate across sectors, there is one a...

People Want To Sue Over Morbi Tragedy Can Do So In Gujarat HC: Supreme Court

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 22, 20220

Since a division bench led by the Chief Justice of the Gujarat high court had already taken suo motu note of the incident and issued many directives, the bench stated that it will not be hearing the applications at this time. On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear two petitions seeking independent inquiries into the bridge collapse in Morbi, Gujarat, that claimed the lives of more than 140 people. The court cited the fact that the Gujarat high court had already taken suo motu cognisance of the matter. The high court was ordered to keep an eye on the investigation and any other developments relating to it by a bench consisting of Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Hima Kohli. The bench explained that it would not be hearing the petitions at this time since a division b...

PM Modi Opens Up On Narmada Protest, Takes A Jibe At Rahul Gandhi & Activist Medha Patkar

RaviNovember 21, 20220

Recently PM Modi took a jab at Rahul Gandhi for participating in a march with activist Medha Patkar during 'Bharat Jodo Yatra.' Modi's main concern was their campaign that was held against the Narmada dam project, which he stated had been Gujarat's lifeline. While addressing a rally in the Rajkot district of Gujarat during the state elections, PM Modi stated, "a Congress leader was seen taking out a padyatra with a woman who stalled the Narmada dam project for three decades." PM Modi communicated that the Sardar Sarovar Dam construction project over the Narmada river was delayed for around three decades due to legal encumbrances by activists like Medha Patkar. He further blamed Medha Patkar for slandering Gujarat. "Ask the Congress when it comes to demand your vote that you ar

Congress Party Needs To Rethink Why Its Telangana Plan Hasn’t Worked

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 21, 20220

The Congress party's low performance in the Munugode bypoll was expected. A sitting seat was lost in a byelection and the Congress candidate couldn't preserve the security deposit while Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra was in the state. In August, former Congress MLA Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy prompted another byelection. The BJP intends to show that BRS vs. Congress is giving way to BRS vs. BJP in Telangana by using byelections. The state's ruling party, Telangana Rashtra Samiti, has changed its name to Bhartiya Rashtra Samiti. This clever tactic recalls how the BJP used Congress leaders and cadre to oust the CPM in Tripura. The Congress is tumbling like a house of cards in Telangana as the BJP uses a systematic plan to destroy it. BRS, BJP have more resources and fighte...

Underperforming MLAs Should Be Ousted, But Only In Strong-Led Parties

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 16, 20220

The BJP's approach to elections is distinguished by its clinical evaluation of the likelihood of reelection for each existing lawmaker. Fear has spread among several of the BJP's Karnataka legislators after the party lost over 30 sitting MLAs in Gujarat. Only 149 out of 312 UP MLAs from BJP's 2017 triumph were re-elected earlier this year. In general, this is a decent method. As many MLAs run for office under the party's symbol, the party has a responsibility to the electorate not to re-nominate an underperforming member. Keeping the party at arm's length from any local anti-incumbency against the candidate is a plus as well. In most cases, this is possible only for parties with exceptional leadership. It was reported in 2021 that the CPM in Kerala has expelled 38 of its sitting MLA...
