BHOPAL: All India BJP General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya is talking the language of violence. Two days back, he warned that he would have set Indore on fire but for the fact that top RSS leadership was in the town. His outburst was directed at the anti-land mafia campaign launched by Madhya Padesh government. He claimed that the campaign was primarily aimed at the BJP supporters. Despite a very sharp reaction to his comment, Vijayvargiya repeated his threat on Sunday. He did so while addressing a public meeting in a small town. This time he warned officials. A newspaper reported his threat with the headline “Kailash ne abki baar adhikariyon ko lalkara (Now, Kailash challenges the officers)”. He said that the officers should take note that we may come back to power anytime and then we will teach them a lesson.

The Bharatiya Janata Party has been aiming high in West Bengal for the next year's assembly polls — as the party hopes that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) will aid it in registering its first electoral victory in the state by consolidating the Hindu votes against the Mamata Banerjee led Trinamool Congress government. If CAA seems to be helping BJP in West Bengal, the act places the saffron party in an uneasy condition in neighbouring Assam, which will also see assembly elections next year along with West Bengal.

On December 7, 2015, eighteen months the Narendra Modi government first came to power, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu’s global consumer and industrial products industry group posted a report highlighting its expectation about India capturing the fifth position as the world’s most competitive manufacturing nation in 2020. The United States was expected to hold the top spot this year pushing the current leader China into the second position. How wrong was Deloitte! In five years time, India’s economic growth rate has nearly reached its bottom in two decades. Manufacturing fell into the negative growth zone. The Modi government’s much touted ‘Make in India’ programme was almost a non-starter. There was little systemised investment in infrastructure and job oriented projects to fuel the demand for manufactured products. Instead, a series of wrong and halfhearted decisions such as sudden demonetisation of large currencies and underprepared experiment with the consumption levy called the goods and services tax (GST), massive expenditure on politically-oriented social programmes and growing imports of manufactured junkies adversely affected India's economic growth prospects.
