Congress Needs To Justify Where Rahul’s Position In Presidency Lies

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 26, 20220

Since the beginning of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul Gandhi has been giving evasive responses to questions about whether or not he would run for president of the Congress when he makes appearances in the media. These have ranged from providing political opponents who are pragmatic with lofty philosophical advise to outright denying that he has any "confusion" about his intentions. Nevertheless, state units are drafting resolutions anticipating that he may be pulled into the presidency. This adds to the confusion that is being caused by Rahul's statements. The only information that the general public has access to about Rahul's choice not to run for office is a soundbite from another neta or information that is based on a source. This would be a terrible political move for Congress...

Goa Defection Suggests Congress Needs To Solve Its Leadership Problem Quickly

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 17, 20220

The recent defection of eight of the Congress party's eleven MLAs in Goa to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was a serious blow to the party's chances of retaining power in the state. In the most recent state assembly, there were members of the Congress party who defected from Goa. Even more stunning is the fact that the Congress MLAs who defected had previously taken an oath on the Constitution, stating that they would not desert the party if they were successful in the assembly elections held earlier this year. At the point of fact, they had vowed the very same thing in each of their various places of worship. As a consequence of this, the traitors have a legitimate argument that they were motivated by the desire to obtain riches and prestige. We have no choice but to hold out...

Urban Governance: The Area Where India Lags Most

Snehashish RoySeptember 16, 20220

The fact that Bengaluru lacks an elected government significantly worsened the issue as the city experienced severe flooding over the previous week. The state government presently appoints bureaucrats to oversee the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike council because the tenure of the previous elected council ended in 2020. One of the major cities in the globe is Bengaluru. More than eight million people live in the Greater Bengaluru region, which is comparable to the population of Switzerland. The fact that it lacks an elected government is, to put it simply, astonishing and highlights what is likely India's worst governance weakness: a lacklustre, essentially nonexistent autonomous urban governance. What's visible in urban governance? India has 675 million urban residents. This f...

States Compete For Industrial Investment, Just Handful Emerge As Victorious

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 15, 20220

There have been loud political battles in Mumbai since Maharashtra lost the Rs 1.54 lakh crore Vedanta-Foxconn semiconductor project to Gujarat. This, however, is smart politics. Such politics puts pressure on state governments to actively pursue private investment. Having employment, investment, and living standards become regular top-list concerns in party debates and voter attention will be even better for the political system. The PM's remarks sparked a national discussion over rival promises of freebies, which is the worst type of politics because, if freebies dominate policy thought in the present, the future would necessarily be dark. The good news is that certain governments are competing for high-stakes international investment despite freebie politics, and they are doing s...

Jesus Row: Rejection Of TN Temples Likely To Impact Rahul Gandhi’s Campaign

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 12, 20220

Rahul Gandhi's question, "So, Jesus Christ is a form of God" went viral minutes after chatting with the controversial Christian preacher George Ponniah from Kanniyakumari. After hearing the priest's response—"He's a genuine God... God exposes him as a man, a human person, not like Shakti or this power." There was widespread shock and fury in Congress. It was thought that this exchange was enough to derail the Congress' 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', at least in the northern part of the country. Perhaps Rahul wasn't given enough context before meeting with this controversial, "arrogant" preacher who thought he was the only one who could win over Christian voters in the Kanniyakumari area. Others thought that rather than publicly spectacle himself, he might have asked his Catholic mother Sonia some...

India’s Democratic Setup Receives Vehement Attack And Assault

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 6, 20220

The Prime Minister vehemently criticised the "freebie culture" last month at a public speech. He took particular aim at the norm of giving out free stuff in exchange for votes. It's all part of a plan to win over voters, he said, and the free stuff is just a bonus. He insisted that this strategy had to be countered, saying, "those who dis­tribute freebies would never create expressways, airports, or defence routes to encourage growth." As the Prime Minister railed against giveaways, the courts stepped in to prevent political parties from promising benefits for the poor and powerless. A three-judge bench of the Supreme Court of India, led by the Chief Justice of India (CJI), had suggested a wide-ranging expert committee to examine the issue of freebies after a recent public interest ...

Kavita Krishnan Steps Down From CPI(ML) Liberation Party Positions Due To “Troubling Questions”

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 3, 20220

Kavita asked about the similarities between the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin and the Chinese government now, as well as the similarities between those two governments and the one in India under Narendra Modi. A person in a position of authority, she argued, must refrain from asking such inquiries. After more than two decades of service, Kavita Krishnan, a member of the politburo of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation [CPI (ML) Liberation], resigned from all of her positions within the party over what is being seen as ideological disputes. Despite her assurances to The Hindu that she would remain the party's core member, the CPI(ML) Liberation leadership ultimately opted to expel Krishnan as well. On Thursday, September 1, she published a message on her ...

Vigillance Commission Guidelines That Apply On Acquisition Of Military Supplies; Read Here!

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 30, 20220

The people in the MoD and Services are responsible for procuring items and services only if the manuals cover every scenario. General Financial Rules (GFR) regulations are supplemented by the Department for the Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and the Central Vigilance Commission's (CVC) tender guidelines. Many acquisition training programmes stress the importance of following both departmental and CVC regulations. It would be a huge task to read the CVC's 72 circulars on public procurement through June 2022 and ensure compliance. This misperception must be addressed. The General Financial Regulations (GFRs) were first released in 1947 and updated by the Department of Expenditure of the Ministry of Finance in 2017. They control ministries' spending on products and se...

India’s Spoken Language Contrasts Sharply With Administrative And Legal Language

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 29, 20220

After rejecting the Himachal Pradesh high court's "incomprehensible" verdict, the Supreme Court made a call for "brevity, simplicity, and clarity" across all levels of government. In the HC division bench judgement, one may find gems such as "contra thereto, became adduced by him, and he was thus ordered to dispel the factum" and "the ire res-controversia, exploding interse the plaintiffs, belongs to findings adverse to the workman." If the significance of this nonsense were not so grave, it would be amusing. The governing class of premodern societies confused the administrative language of design. This remained even after the so-called "modernization" began. In various Western democracies, efforts have been made over the last two decades or more to modernise and simplify the vocabu...

Future Of A Caring Nation Rests On Taking Care Of Its Children

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 29, 20220

Education in India may be a source of stress and worry for those from underprivileged backgrounds because of the potential risks to their sense of worth. According to studies on kid safety, abuse in schools often goes unreported or undiscovered until the abused child makes a formal complaint or the child's parents observe physical or behavioural changes. The abuse in the Jalore case in Rajasthan was well-known since the little victim recounted the occurrence and the worried parent observed the injuries. Some corporate news outlets are holding the lack of a portable pot at the school where the crime occurred as evidence against the deceased child's story of abuse and the father's claim of caste discrimination, even before the grieving parents have had time to come to terms with the traumati...
