As the Russian invasion of Ukraine enters its third year on Saturday, February 24 Russian President Vladimir Putin looks totally relaxed as against his competitor US President Joe Biden who lost his temper in an election gathering on Wednesday by calling Putin ‘SOB’ which is generally not used in public by the government heads even by the American standards. President Putin cooly dealt with Biden’s remark by mentioning even then he would like Biden to be the next President of USA as against Donald Trump.

Just within 24 hours after the Congress-SP alliance became a reality in Uttar Pradesh on February 21, the INDIA bloc has achieved another milestone in opposition politics on February 22, becoming stronger to take on ruling BJP led by PM Narendra Modi. The Congress-AAP alliance for Delhi, Haryana, Chandigarh, Goa, and Gujarat has considerably boosted the morale of the opposition and its political prospect in the forthcoming Lok Sabha election scheduled to be held in April-May 2024, much to the discomfort of RSS-BJP clan.

LUCKNOW: The cadres of the Samajwadi Party and the Congress are in upbeat mood in Uttar Pradesh as for the first time, the grassroots workers are getting the confidence that the BJP can be defeated in the state after the conclusion of the seat sharing deal between the two parties.

But regrettably, RSS and BJP have failed in their mission to make Sikhs accept their wishes and co-opt the community into the majoritarian Hindu fold.

American President Joe Biden most probably forgot his insulting words for Russian President Vladimir Putin after a couple of minutes of saying them, but the “crazy SOB” also took the insult on the chin, brushing it aside as if it was no more deserving of attention than a passing breeze on a windy day.

It is election eve and the prime minister while speaking in the parliament on the interim budget session ended with forecasts of election results for the ruling combine. It was not an expression of encouragement for his colleagues for the ensuing election but a prediction of number of seats that the BJP and the NDA would be winning. What it transpired perhaps for the mainstream media and the subservient executives is a sense of responsibility to legitimise the expectations of Modi and actualise the figures as expected.

Demand for a law guaranteeing MSPs for crops in markets has once again surfaced with renewed farmers’ agitation. Of late, several articles in news media and TV debate about the dangers of providing a legal sanctity to the Minimum Support Price (MSP).Economists like Dr Ashok Gulati and Dr Ramesh Chand are major proponents of this argument.
