INTRODUCTION OF UNIVERSAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE SCHEME IS NEED OF THE HOUR

ONLY THREE PER CENT OF GDP IS NEEDED TO MEET FINANCIAL COSTS OF THE PROGRAMME
Prabhat Patnaik - 2024-01-25 11:42
The unemployment situation is worse today than it has ever been in post-independence India. There are two distinct elements that have contributed to this situation. One is the fact that the output recovery from the fall caused by the pandemic-linked lockdown has not been accompanied by a comparable employment recovery. In fact, even though the gross domestic product in 2023-24 is estimated to be larger than in 2019-20 by about 18 per cent, employment has shown zero growth over the last five years according to the Centre for Monitoring the Indian Economy. This fall in the employment-intensity of GDP is because the recovery in output has been much less pronounced in the small and medium scale enterprises than in large-scale ones and the former are much more employment-intensive than the latter.

MAMATA’S ANNOUNCEMENT OF TMC GOING SOLO IN BENGAL CAN BE A PART OF PRESSURE TACTICS

Ashis Biswas - 2024-01-25 10:56
West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Ms. Mamata Banerjee has just publicly rejected an alliance with the state Congress for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, but in truth, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) had decided to shake up the still evolving opposition I.N.D.I.A anti-BJP coalition some days ago. There had been a few disturbing signals — the TMC’s leaders/spokesmen from Guwahati to West Bengal, had been suddenly decrying opposition prospects much too frankly and freely during the last few days.

BRITISH PREMIER RISHI SUNAK FACING BIG RIGHTWING TORY CHALLENGE BEFORE ELECTIONS

MANY VETERANS INCLUDING FORMER HOME SECRETARY PRITI PATEL LOOKING FOR CHANGE
Andrew Murray - 2024-01-25 10:49
The Tories descended further into turmoil today as its hard right launched fresh plots against drifting premier Rishi Sunak. Former cabinet member David Davis remarked “this is getting silly” after one-time levelling up secretary Simon Clarke called on the Prime Minister to quit. While few other Tories were prepared to put their heads above the parapet so brazenly, the prospect of a fourth leader in two years was being canvassed in the Commons tea rooms.

IRONICAL USE OF AWARD FOR SOCIALIST STALWART TO UPEND CASTE JUSTICE
Arun Srivastava - 2024-01-24 11:21
The richest, most crony capitalism-friendly prime minister of India Narendra Modi bestowing Bharat Ratna, although officially being awarded by the President, Draupadi Murmu, on the deprived socialist leader Karpoori Thakur has given rise to boisterous political chattering in Bihar. However, it has also put the political moves of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar under intense public scrutiny.

RAM TEMPLE WON’T FETCH BJP ELECTORAL DIVIDENDS IN KERALA

CHRISTIAN VOTERS UNMOLLIFIED BY BJP’S BLANDISHMENTS
