NDA GOVERNMENT'S MINISTRY OF LABOUR HAS A DIFFICULT TIME GOING FORWARD

PART-TIME LABOUR MINISTER WILL FIND IT HARD TO ROLL-OUT LABOUR CODES
Dr. Gyan Pathak - 2024-06-15 11:34
The Union Ministry of Labour and Employment has two tough tasks in hand – employment generation and roll-out of four labour codes that the Modi 2:0 government had been keeping in abeyance for the last four years due to stiff resistance from the joint platform of 10 Central Trade Unions (CTUs).

PRIME MINISTER MODI'S CLAY FEET HAS A NAME: RURAL DISTRESS

FARMING COMMUNITY IS IN DIRE STRAITS, CANNOT WAIT FOR RELIEF
Dr. Soma Marla - 2024-06-14 10:49
Rural India limited the Bharatiya Janata Party to 240 seats in the Lok Sabha. And but for the "NDA allies", Narendra Modi wouldn't have become Prime Minister for a third time. The BJP now depends on its partners for the simple majority in Parliament. The BJP lost a third of its rural parliamentary constituencies in 2024, reflecting acute rural distress. MSP, Agniveer and high unemployment, all of these contributed to the BJP's post-poll distress.

HUGE WATER SHORTAGE IN INDIA’S NATIONAL CAPITAL TURNING WORSE

POLITICS OVER UNPRECEDENTED SUFFERING OF THE PEOPLE AT ITS PEAK
Dr. Gyan Pathak - 2024-06-14 10:46
India’s National Capital Territory Delhi is running a shortage of water to the tune of 50 MGD (million gallon per day). The Water and Tanker Mafia are minting money. People are undergoing unprecedented suffering. Political parties are trying to derive political mileage by indulging in blame-game. The Supreme Court of India has intervened but the water crisis isn't going away. With no end in sight before the monsoon arrives.

POST-FRACTURED MANDATE, WILL JUDICIARY RISE TO THE CHALLENGES?

PUTTING THE CONSTITUTION FIRST: PEOPLE HAVE MADE A CLEAR CHOICE
Indira Jaising - 2024-06-14 10:33
By far the biggest takeaway from the 2024 general elections for India is that the ruling coalition will no longer be able to amend the Constitution and convert the country from a secular State to a Hindu Rashtra. During the election campaign, the Prime Minister of India memorably said, “Ram is my idea of India.” The people of India have denied him the opportunity to see his dream come true through an amendment to the Constitution.

CONGRESS HEADING TOWARDS TOUGH POLITICAL BATTLE FOR RAJYA SABHA

PARTY MUST WATCH OUT FOR CROSS-VOTING, HORSE-TRADING AMONG ITS RANKS
Dr. Gyan Pathak - 2024-06-13 14:41
Indian National Congress (INC) is heading for another very interesting political battle for the Rajya Sabha, where it had just escaped a loss of the post of the Leader of Opposition. With two of its members in the Upper House recently elected to the Lok Sabha, INC's strength in the upper house reduced to 26, just one more than the required number of 25 to hold the post.

BJP FOOTPRINT INCREASES IN ALL SOUTHERN STATES EXCEPT KARNATAKA

LEFT-DEMOCRATIC PARTIES GET AN OMINOUS WARNING IN THE SOUTH
P. Sudhir - 2024-06-13 14:35
The overall results of the Lok Sabha election are certainly a setback for the BJP. Getting 240 seats, it failed to achieve the absolute majority it had gained in the 2014 and 2019 elections. Narendra Modi is now heading a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) coalition government with parties like the Telugu Desam Party and the Janata Dal (United) providing the numbers for a majority in the Lok Sabha.

SOME SENIOR JD(U) LEADERS ARE MULLING 'HONOURABLE DEPARTURE'

FOR PRIME MINISTER MODI, NITISH IS OF ONLY 'USE AND THROW' VALUE
Arun Srivastava - 2024-06-13 14:32
Shaken by their leader Nitish Kumar prostrating before Prime Minister Narendra Modi and making an uncouth retreat from his stand, which he had taken before leaving for Delhi to discuss JD(U)’s share in the Union Cabinet, a section of senior JD(U) leaders are contemplating jumping the sinking ship that the JD(U) has become. These leaders are yet to make out the real reason for Nitish's surrender to Modi but they're not happy souls.

ENGINEERING INDIA'S BIGGEST STOCK MARKET SCAM: NOW A MODI LEGACY

UNMASK BJP’S LINK WITH FAKE EXIT POLLSTERS, DUBIOUS FOREIGN INVESTORS
Krishna Jha - 2024-06-13 13:58
BJP victory would soon turn into a reality and it was no illusion — that was what Modi and Shah told the investors. But the crash came at the most unexpected moment and led to a whopping Rs 30 lakh crore loss on the day the Lok Sabha election results were announced. It was a nexus of government, media and corporate that devastated retail investors in the stock market. Weeks before election results, the advice to people came from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to "buy stocks before June 4", suggesting that the market would surge. They claimed to have known that there could not be otherwise.
