Mr Modi has once again advocated the idea of One Nation One Election and a single Voter List as well saying the election taking places every few months hinder developments.  PM Modi made strong pitch for simultaneous election, he said One Nation One Election is not an issue of deliberations but also need of the country. How the idea is feasible for the country like ours considering the Lok sabha and state Assembly term is not synchronized.  I just want to recall you we had this model like One Nation One Election from 1952-1967, it means both both the General Assembly and state Assembly elections were held together. Since 1970, when certain assemblies were dissolved prematurely due to some political reasons. Therefore, the cycle was broken.  Again, in 1983, Election commission of India (ECI) pitched for the need to bring back the Old Model in which election to the House of People and legislative Assembly are held simultaneously.  Similarly the Law Commission in 1999, ...

In this pandemic, government passed Farm bills hurriedly in Rajyasabha suspending some opposition leaders who were against of the bills.  Goverment termed it as a historic act which will protect farmers from middlemen and broker who used to take away lion's share of the farmers.  Actually some farmers are worried and their concern lies between scraping of Minimum Support Price (MSP)  and not focussing on the plight of farmers. Although goverment promised that MSP will remain intact, the New Farm Act does not clearly mention any where about MSP. Some farmers are silent or neutral from the government action and the wide protest movements.  The wide protests are not limited in Punjab, Haryana but also sprawled it's leg in the adjacent areas like UP, Rajasthan, Uttrakhand, where farmers are trying to carry out their protest reach to Delhi.  The other reasons of worry is goverment is more focussing on consumers than producers. Goverment stops export to control hiking...

He stated,  neither the Talisman of Gandhiji nor my own conscience permit me to join RCE...

 In this Bihar state Assembly election shown many things like generosity of RJD, instilling fear of jungleRaj among people by BJP, stakeholding of Left parties, emergence of VIP party, expansion of AIMIM and other vote cutters (votekattua) parties.  Basically in this article I am laying emphasis on the reasons which sunk Mahagathbandhan (MGB). There are several reasons behind the defeat of MGB but the most among them was giving 70 seats to the Congress. Tejeswi led MGB failed to assess the current conditions of the Congress that the later tried to bite more than its could chew.  Second reason was AIMIM factor. Owassi led AIMIM polarized Hindu votes and divided Muslim votes basically in the Seemanchal region of the state consisting Kishanganj, Araria, Katihar, and Purnia districts where with sizeable Muslim population casted their votes to AIMIM.  THIRD, inspite knowing demographic devisions on the basis of caste and traditional patterns of election in Bihar,  Co...

After eight months, economy has been once again taking shape and saw total collection over 1lakh crore in October from GST.  India has total 51 festivals and 4 major festivals,  knowledge giver Buddha purnima celebrated in the month of March, power giver Dashara,  Anna data Maa Laxmi and the last is Holi.  All the above festival has its own features. In the months of festival we need to understand our traditional pattern of purchasing things. Potters, weavers, Bamboo-made manufacturer have been significant role in our cultural festival.  The Atmanirbhar programme started by Modi led goverment can bolster our traditional manufacturer. People in these days believe in pure goods used in festival so they go through our Indian traditional manufacturer.  Definitely these festive months will help economy and and generate source of income of many hand made manufacturer. The Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative would also flourish due to other more ...

I'm writing this blog just  one hour before the counting of votes of the Bihar state Assembly election. People of Bihar are very confident about the outcomes and and feeling proud.  In a democracy people decide who can govern them. It is the people of Bihar whose wishes Tejeswi become chief minister.  This election should not be seen based on casteism it was based on trend of development to which people have cast their votes. People of Bihar bycotted Nitesh Kumar's developmental works. What he did during lockdown for the migrants workers was not good.  Unemployment was another big issues. Conducting examination lately and not filling the vaccant seat attracted more aggression among people. Many of them fell their careers are being spoiled.  Lack of transparency in both academic and administration led to the ending of Nitish Raj. Former DGP of Bihar and his functioning during his tenure was how much accountable, should also be assessed.  So a lot of things I...
