Political analysts are also questioning the fu ture of the Grand Old Party if things continue in this manner.Inthe context of the pre vailing condition of the Con gress, its Bharat Jodo cam paign actually means a lot for the party’s political future. For the Congress, the cam paign has to have huge conse quences otherwise other po litical parties will seize the opportunity.TheBJPhence is closely watching the Bharat Jodo campaign. The Saffron might is also aware of the fact that even today in the bigger per spective, if the voters of the entire country consider any party as the Opposition, it is Congress and any Opposi tion conglomerate without the Congress, would not be complete in the context across the regions and spec trum of voters.
nstead of uniting, the Oppo sition parties… in particular, one and all are extremely busy in displaying individual strength.IfNitish Kumar had visit ed Delhi and had a busy line up and had a script ready to meet HD Deve Gowda, NCP’s boss Sharad Pawar et al… Mamata Banerjee recently again said in a roaring rally in Kolkata that Khela Hobe ‘Again’.Addressing a new party programme, she went on to say, “The Opposition (parties) are now together. Akhilesh (Yadav) is there, Hemant (Sor en) is there, Nitish (Kumar) is there and we along with our friends will fight the BJP in 2024. BJP is flying high as they have near 300-mark seats. Even Rajiv Gandhi had 400 seats but had to lose. The states which I have mentioned over there will make them lose at least 100 seats.”
Even today, it may be re called that whatever be the status and condition of the Congress, in several states even today, the BJP will have to fight the polls against the Congress… For example in Karnataka, in Chhattisgarh and in Rajasthan. There are Opposition leaders who have made it big in their own way, however, in the subsequent polls their acceptability has been seen too across the country especially in the re cent Assembly polls.

an “abnormal” increase in export of broken rice as the reason. From 0.51 lakh tonnes during April-August 2019, to 21.31 lakh metric tonnes dur ing the same period in 2022 is certainly an unusual jump. At 15.85 lakh metric tonnes, China was said to be the big gest importer of broken rice during 2021-22. This abnor mal increase in export led to a steep hike in the price of broken rice---from Rs 15-16 per kg in the beginning of the year to Rs 22 per kg in the sec ond week of September.

So why this ban on rice export? The government cited an “abnormal” increase in export of broken rice as the reason. From 0.51 lakh tonnes during AprilAugust 2019, to 21.31 lakh metric tonnes during the same period in 2022 is certainly an unusual jump. At 15.85 lakh metric tonnes, China was said to be the biggest importer of broken rice during 2021-22

Reason being, that the rice crop has not been withered by an intense heat wave like the wheat crop leading to its stocks falling drastically to 285.1 lakh tonnes, barely above the minimum buffer of 275.8 lakh tonnes. In compar ison, at 472.18 lakh tonnes rice stocks are overflowing. Well, almost if one considers the buffer limit of 135.4 lakh tonnes. Overall, the monsoon has been biased towards rice. Barring parts of UP, Bihar and West Bengal, other rice growing areas have had good rainfall. The rain deficit is
The BJP at the Centre hence is aware of the fact and is keenly watching every move of the campaign, espe cially in each state.
In this context, the impor tance of the Bharat Jodo cam paign of the Congress should have been of importance and consequence to these regional stalwarts and it is interesting to see how they (Opposition leaders) put their reported egos aside and come together.

RICE EXPORT BAN WITH EYE ON PRICES
etail inflation is not only going beyond the tolerance level of the common man but also the Reserve Bank of India which is happy when the inflation remains within the 2-6 percent range. Latest data showed that infla tion was back at 7 percent in Au gust, well beyond the RBI’s threshold level. The consumer food price index rose to 7.62 per cent. This upswing has come after its marginal decline to 6.71 percent in July. With this, infla tion has remained above the per missible limit for seven months in a row, something that should be worrying the RBI as it had projected inflation to fall to the 5 percent level in the April-June quarter of next financial year. With prices of several commod ities, besides food and fuel items, remaining high and persisting disruptions in the global supply chain, the 5 percent level seems beyond reach. The next meeting of the Monetary Policy Commit tee would dwell further on con taining inflation, including fur ther hike in interest rate.

The measures were needed as rice is a major revenue earner besides being the sta ple diet in large parts of the country. India is the world’s biggest exporter of rice and accounts for 40 percent of the global share.
he Union govern ment’s recent ban on export of ‘bro ken’ rice should not make one worry that the commodity was headed the wheat way.
Even in the recent past, we have seen how the Opposi tion parties failed to gel dur ing the Presidential polls and how the candidate was named after huge delibera tion.

And the outcome of the Vice-presidential polls is known to all.
