Nitish dumps Lalu to befriend BJP


There are neither any permanent allies nor such enemies in politics. Everything is temporary. In this field you come across various kinds of chamaleons, spread everywhere - some clinging to the branches of an old tree (in the form of his original party) upside down, some in the process of changing its color according to its new surroundings. 

 Nitish kumar, the Bihar CM, is one such chamaleon, who was in the process of changing color since last 8 months. Although he did get involved with Lalu prasad to create a महागठबंधन, he knew deep down in his opportunistic mind, that this marriage was not going to last longer, keeping in view Lalu's rotten image of a highly corrupt neta. So he started making all kinds of gestures, which were in some way attracting the BJP. In other words, he started what is termed as "passive flirting" with it. 
Eventually, he realized that he should somehow eliminate Lalu to stay in power, else in the next Bihar Assembly elections of 2020, he will be viewed in the same corrupt category as Lalu. So he slowly got involved in a new paradigm-shift and started drifting away from Lalu, by making comments and remarks favoring BJP. 

 Modi and Shah new what was coming next. Lalu was unaware. It seems that even after a long political career, Lalu is getting defeated again and again because he is not paying attention to some basic points of politics. Either he is doing it deliberately or it is his futile ego which isn't allowing him to do, what should be essentially done. The result is obvious. He is out of power now. 

 Some say that Nitish has removed Lalu because of the corruption done by Tejasvi, his son. Didn't Nitish know while he was getting involved with Lalu for महागठबंधन that the latter is corrupt? It isn't about corruption rightnow. It wasn't about secularism when both joined hands 2 years back to defeat BJP. It's all about politics - perhaps, the most ugly aspect of it.

Back to "Unstable Governments" in India and its global implications

The General Election held every 5 years in India help its voters decide, their choice about who is going to lead it. It's the 7th largest country (in terms of area) in the world and the largest democracy in the world with a population of more than 1.4 billion people living there. It's one of the fastest growing economies of the world and recently in size it became the 3rd largest economy, overtaking the United Kingdom. Looking its increasing stature globally, these General Elections of India carry a massive impact in the geopolitical scenario of Asia Pacific as well as the entire world. So let's delve deeper into the results and what aftereffect it can have on a global scale. After having about 25 years of governments with unclear majorities, India was fortunate enough to have a government with a clear majority when Mr. Narendra Modi, became the Prime Minister of the country back in 2014. His party the Bharatiya Janata Party came into power winning 281 parliamentary seats o

My opinion on "Barkha Vs Arnab"

Barkha Dutt is one of those distinguished journalists of India, on whom we should feel proud about. Her program "We the people" telecast at 8 pm every sunday is an award-winning program, which reflects her high intellectual capacities. However, when it comes to the kashmir issue, she suddenly starts behaving in a different manner. During her last visit to srinagar, she randomnly gave "hugs" to so many unknown people,which showed her hidden desire of remaining close to all kinds of muslims. Here the word "kinds" has been used to show that she behaves very well with anti-India seperatists like Yasin Malik, Syed Gilani also, which she shouldnot. She has the time to interview those hulligans and stone-pelters who received minor injuries during their scuffles with J&k police. But she doesnot have the time and decency to interview the kith and keens of our martyred jawans. She shows sympathy towards traitors like Kanaiya too. It is this kind of strange, in

Modi's biggest Achievement

I just saw a documentary on the condition of Muslims living inside India, since Modi became Prime Minister, 7 years ago. It showed that Modi's policies have put the entire population of more than 20 crore Muslims of India in a state of enforced passiveness. I knew it would be anti-India, trying to portray an evil picture of the things happening in India and it was. But let us see how Modi has handled the Muslims of his country in these 7 years. Before he became the PM, frequent riots used to take place in certain parts of the country especially in cities like Muzaffarabad, Bhopal, etc on a regular basis. Take any festival say Janmasthami - one could bet on the possibility of riots over there. That has completely stopped. Those among the Muslims who were violent, understood very clearly that if they start any riot, they will definitely get punished. That element of fear which was absent when the Congress party was ruling at the Centre, has now been firmly established. Hats of to Mod
