Stung bitterly, Prakash Karat has thundered that he will not support the Congress ever.
Prakash Karat has discounted the possibility of the CPM supporting the Congress after the next general elections…
Let’s revisit this post after the 2009 Election results are out.
This is really a welcome move by the BJP, something they should’ve done many years ago. The reason for media’s ruthless, unfair and incessant criticism of everything Hindu and the BJP in particular is that the Hindus have been playing the game by the rules set by the Opponent. As such the BJP should’ve tackled [...]
Elections in India is fun time because you can mudsling at will and get away with it. That was the case when the Italian bosswoman christened Modi as Maut ka Saudagar (Death Broker). Now that the actual maut ka saudagars have struck in the same Modi’s state, will the bosswoman call a spade a spade [...]
Rajdeep Turdesai tries his hand at damage control-by-diversion. His need is urgent for it comes in the wake of widespread suspicions about the intent of a certain media whore of the Congress party to ensure that the UPA won the trust vote.
Turdesai climbs atop the moral mountain and begins to ponder about the “events of [...]
The UPA’s trust vote victory has once again proved why it pays to be cynical. I firmly go by this diktat in watching Indian politics: never underestimate the Congress party’s potential for scurviness. It is an art the party has perfected for a few decades with singleminded dedication. It is hard to find any other [...]
The Nuclear non-deal is quickly making the UPA (or whatever is left of it) a nuclear family. The N-deal might well be the costliest blunder for the Congress party, specifically. It badly underestimated the Left, and despite Amar…er.. Mulayam Singh’s reassurances, July 22 will likely be its Fall Day.
First, two interesting reports:
Countdown UPA: 4 MPs [...]
Forget politics. Media watching promises to be a jolly activity. Rajdeep Sardesai’s fiery journalism leads the charade. CNN-IBN seems to change colours almost every other second. From sounding out the Left in a piece that is shockingly pro-capitalist one day to cozying up to Amar Singh yet another day, the media house is zigzagging big [...]
When I wrote about the run-up to the polls, I had no idea it’d be this close. This Pioneer edit puts it well and powerfully. The end to four-and-a-half years of non-governance seems close. A must-read.
With highly-probable portends of an early election visible on the horizon, I’ve created a new category called Elections 2009.
Beginning with this post, I plan to record–very irregularly–a sort of a run-up of events, news, and other gossip–I’ll even create quizzes–leading up to the actual elections. It promises to be an interesting retrospect.

UPA’s Report Card
Is it too early to give a report card on the performance of the UPA non-government for its entire term? I’m not talking about the secularly-certified report cards and approval ratings that the media gives year after year to the UPA. It’s the report card of two broad categories of people. The aam aadmi and [...]
