The Karnataka hijab row now goes to the Supreme Court after the Karnataka High Court ruled that the hijab is not essential religious practice in Islam, and there’s clear and present danger that the row will escalate to the “national stage”, which was what the high court had feared would happen when it gave its interim order.

Sonia Gandhi offering to step back along with his son Rahul Gandhi and daughter Priyanka Gandhi has been a strategic move of Sonia to shield the Gandhi family from being accused of liability of Congress and to ensure that her son continues to call the shots and direct the party. On paper the Congress is the mighty force and is the only party which can counter the BJP, but the reality is it has been reduced substantially and has turned into a big ship without mast.

Odds appear to favour the BJP for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. The party is gung ho about its rosy prospects, as barring a few losses, the BJP's winning streak doesn't appear to be reversing.

My roadshow versus your roadshow. The last time AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal took on Narendra Modi the ‘azaan’ sounded and Kejriwal paused. Then, Varanasi voted Modi to make him Prime Minister. Kejriwal didn't have a prayer to stop him. In 2019, nobody had a prayer. Today, another nearly five years later, AAP is riding high and AAP thinks Kejriwal has got more than a prayer to beat Modi at his game.

By the decision of the Centre to cut interest rate on workers’ and employees’ PF deposits, Modi government has just pushed workers 45 years back on social security at a time when the working class needed it most due to rising price rise and inflation with additional financial crises they have been facing for the last two years especially since the COVID-19 pandemic struck the country. The action to effect a cut on social security measures is sharply in contrast with the magnanimous speeches of our leadership to protect workers’ interests.
