BJP’S ‘CONGRESS-MUKT BHARAT’ PROGRAMME GETS A JOLT

PARIVAR HAS TO RETHINK ABOUT MODI’S POLICIES
Arun Srivastava - 2019-10-25 10:31
The Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be appreciated for putting a brave face and refusing to concede the fact that the BJP has suffered electoral defeat in the states of Maharashtra and Haryana. This stance of Modi has wider implication. Acceptance of defeat would not have changed the ground reality. Instead his denial and eulogising state leaders would prevent the party from having adverse moral impact on the rank and file and demoralising them.

MODI’S CHARISMA RECEIVED BATTERING IN TWO STATES

BJP HAS REASONS TO GET WORRIED FOR FUTURE
Arun Srivastava - 2019-10-24 09:24
It would appear to be an outrageous argument that Narendra Modi has lost the battle of Maharashtra and Haryana. But it is the fact which even BJP’s leaders and also its ardent supporters would find tough to refute. Usually a prime minister does not devote too much of energy and time in stray electioneering. But the case of Modi has been quite different. He addressed more than a dozen of public rallies in Maharashtra and around 10 rallies in Haryana.

OPPOSITION HAS TO TAKE CORRECT LESSONS FROM POLL REVERSES

GRASSROOTS STATE LEADERS HAVE TO REPLACE THE POWERFUL DYNASTS
Mriganka M Bhowmick - 2019-10-24 09:22
The outcomes of Maharashtra and Haryana Elections are giving a silver line of hope for Congress and its opposition allies. The much circulated picture of rain drenched Sharad Pawar addressing rally came out as the notion of a combative opposition, trying to save its last ground. As a matter of fact the fight from Central leadership of Congress was completely missing. If there is any silver lining on opposition performance, the credit must go to the ground workers and few state leaders in Haryana and Maharashtra. Emergence of a combative state leadership will be the only hope for Congress for its future. Evidently, The Central leadership imposed Dynastic Politics with Entitlement does not yield any dividend in the ground.

CANADIAN CENTRE-LEFT HAS TO PUT CONTINUOUS PRESSURE
C.J. Atkins - 2019-10-23 14:10
It’s going to take pressure from the movements outside parliament to wring progressive concessions from the next Canadian government after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals won a minority in the October 21 election. Falling short of the 170 seats needed for outright control in parliament, Trudeau will have to rely on the support of other parties to pass legislation.
