Sachin Pilot’s Rash 2020 Uprising Jeopardised His Chances Of Serving In Congress?

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 26, 20220

The fact that a majority of party MLAs have voted against Sachin Pilot's candidacy to succeed Ashok Gehlot as chief minister in 2020 has brought up bitter memories of Sachin Pilot's previous attempt at leading a successful rebellion. It does not appear, either then or now, that Pilot possesses the support of a sufficient number of MLAs to mount a credible challenge to Gehlot's leadership. Even the top leadership of the Congress, which had appeared to back him previously, is now in an embarrassing situation as a result of the resignation of the MLAs. Pilot has exhausted all of their available options. If his supporters remained loyal to him after his resignation, it would bring down the administration and achieve very little in the short term. The Congress is no longer in a position ...

Mamata Hints At Unified Resistance In 2024: With Whom Will She Unite?

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 9, 20220

The chief minister of Bengal has spoken out against the BJP and a segment of the media for what she claims is a vicious campaign against her and other party leaders. Mamata Banerjee, chief minister of West Bengal, announced on Thursday that she and the chief ministers of neighbouring Bihar and Jharkhand would work together with several other opposition parties to defeat the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Mamata, also the supreme leader of the Trinamul Congress, predicted the BJP would be swept from power here at a party event. "There will be a gathering in 2024 with myself, Nitish Kumar, Hemant Soren, and many more. The BJP will be defeated with the combined efforts of all opposition parties. We're going to form one camp and the BJP will make up the other. Its confidence in wi...

There Seems To Be A Modi Cult Everywhere, But How Long Will This Last?

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 7, 20220

Millions of Indians have two COVID-19 immunisation certificates. Each document has Narendra Modi's signature. We must all hear that he has protected us with his compassion and plenty. Due to Ganesh Chaturthi, images of the rotund Hindu god Ganesh are proliferating. Several photographs show Modi. He's been in the media. He's on sarees and book covers. He opens bridges and warships. He inaugurated projects in Bhuj, Kerala, and Mangaluru in a week. He makes all the announcements while those ministers keep quiet. They brag about his excellence when they speak. Always highlight the uniqueness. Kim Jong Un can learn from him. Nirmala Sitharaman, India's finance minister, chastised a district collector for not displaying a Narendra Modi flag at a ration shop. She said the federal govern...

What Exactly Does BJP Mean By “Double Engine Ki Sarkar”? Find Out!

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 23, 20220

The two engine has two different metaphorical attribution. One is motivated by the need to accumulate private money through technology and market tricks, while the other is motivated by the desire to induce a soporific coma in the public consciousness with respect to the lived realities of the day, despite the fact that the two engines go in different directions. The president of the governing Bharatiya Janata Party in Himachal Pradesh has, as expected, once again issued the promise of a "double engine ki sarkar" (two-engined administration) to woo voters ahead of the state assembly elections. In spite of the right-wing appeal of this metaphor, it has surprisingly escaped the scrutiny it deserves despite having been around for quite some time. The most glaring problem is that this g...

Election 2024: Congress Needs To Find Sonia Gandhi’s Successor Soon To Be More Serious In Political Battle

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 22, 20220

The election of a new Congress president began yesterday, and if all goes according to plan, the party will choose Sonia Gandhi's successor by September 20. Many things have changed politically in the nation since she became president of Congress in 1998. Her leadership has previously kept up with the changes, but she has been unable to properly refashion it for a BJP-dominated political scene. The fact that Congress hasn't been able to win any state elections since Sonia became president for a second time in 2019 is indicative of this. After Rahul's disastrous 2019 election season, in which the BJP came dangerously near to matching the Congress party's 1989 vote total, she returned to her former post. Sad to say, Rahul's repeated expressions of apathy have dampened the party's call...

Opposition Abandons All Hope Of Defeating Modi Almost Halfway To 2024

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 18, 20220

The present political opposition in India needs even a sliver of this famous quote to be successful. It's hard to discern whether the opposition's demise was due to ineptitude or the government's pro-people measures. Weak political opposition is bad for democracies, but in this instance, it's the opposition's lack of interest in the people. Speculation abounds over whether the opposition parties would challenge Mr. Modi and his party in 2024. The fact that this topic is being raised two years before the next general election shows the opposition parties' instability. They should respect voters' will. The concerns are more important because the BJP, despite being in office for eight years, continues to bat first, which the opposition should do. The opposition has corruption charge...

India In Search Of Equality That Can Stand Up To The Test Of Time

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 12, 20220

Many people say things like "we are the first political party that has made it possible for a person from the underprivileged socioeconomic classes to be elected to the highest position in the nation" in reference to the elections conducted to determine India's 15th president. What follows, at least for some, from such an expression is as follows: Because this claim would obliquely suggest that a politically correct party or coalition of parties occupy a special and perhaps superior moral position to give meaning to inclusive democracy by supporting, in this case, an Adivasi who has been historically excluded from occupying the highest public office Some of the politics of symbolic presence is likely to argue that producing the election outcome in favour of an Adivasi or a Dalit woul

State Opposition Gains Or Losses, May Not Matter Nationally: Suggest 2019 Election Trends

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 11, 20220

The opposition finally won a political victory in 2022, when its two main leaders, Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav, returned to power. Over the last 12 months, BJP's grip on politics has tightened. It dominated the presidential and vice presidential elections and won in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur, and Goa. It also overthrew the MVA government in Maharashtra by causing a split within the Shiv Sena. Congress has tried numerous different strategies after its defeat in five states, including Punjab, including the lacklustre chintan shivir and the impending statewide padayatra. The lustre of Mamata Banerjee's crushing defeat of the BJP in 2017 has worn off. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Arvind Kejriwal, its leader, have a long way to go despite their recent victory in Punjab. Ot...

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 9, 20220

In the wildfire due to the scandals in recent months that have spread across the entirety of The British Parliament, Prime minister Boris Johnson steps down from his post on 7th July 2022. He addressed a crowd gathered in front of Downing Street who expressed his regret in giving up the “best job in the world” and that “It is the will of the parliamentary Conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party, and therefore a new prime minister,”.

Punjab By-Election: S S Mann’s Victory Is Worrisome; Not Because AAP’s Losing Shine

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 28, 20220

The results of a single Lok Sabha by-election are seldom sufficient to draw broad generalisations. That being said, SS Mann's Sangrur triumph for Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is exceptional enough to be the outlier. Mann, a politician commonly regarded as "extreme", has beat the odds and defeated AAP with 35.6% of the vote share. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann has held the Sangrur constituency in the previous two Parliamentary elections. Candidates from the SAD, Congress and BJP, three long-time administrators of Punjab, all forfeited their deposits. Mann's success may be attributed to a growing dissatisfaction with the AAP. However, it is vital to situate his victory in the context of SAD's decline and the tumultuous nature of Punjab. Politics and Sikhism go hand in hand in the SAD. In 1996, ...

Philippines Election 2022: Will History Of Dictatorship Repeat Itself?

Dr. Kankana DebnathJune 16, 20220

The presidential election of the Philippines was held on May 9 in which Ferdinand Marcos Jr. emerged victorious securing 28.8 million votes which is more than twice of what his closest opponent Leni Robredo secured. The son of infamous Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos, Marcos Jr.’s victory paved the way for the revival of the family that was once exiled and ousted from power in 1986 by the ‘People’s Power’ uprising. According to experts, the democratic situation in the Philippines has failed to address the basic needs of the citizens and the Filipinos have grown disillusioned and impatient, waiting for a change. With widespread poverty, inequality and corruption the democratic structure is said to be so corrupted that Filipino public has lost trust with the system. The election of ...
