Within 18 months of the BJP’s second consecutive Lok Sabha election victory, the party had lost two of its oldest allies - Shiv
Sena and Akali Dal. And now, with less than two years left for the next general elections, another major ally JD(U), the biggest in terms of lawmakers, moved out of the ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

I think soon, political parties and people in different states will stand against BJP,” Mr Yadav said, speaking to reporters in Uttar Pradesh’s Kannauj.“He (Nitish Kumar) is a leader with
vast experience. What could be said about him. He knows Bihar and the arithmetic of Bihar politics better,” he said in response to a question.Ending his alliance with the BJP for the second time in six years, Nitish Kumar handed his resignation as Chief Minister and then, after being elected leader of a “Mahagathbandhan” (Grand Alliance), staked claim for the top job in the state once again.

Indian society is extremely sensitive to challenges of security, perhaps more than many of its contemporaries and it faces conventional and non-conventional threats of a broad range, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Tuesday.Delivering the 34th Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Memorial Lecture at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy, he said externally, the task of securing unsettled boundaries is always an exacting one and that the
current generations have direct memories of multiple conflicts also shaping their perception. Each of these aspects understandably requires an upgraded response.“Indian society is extremely sensitive to challenges of security, perhaps more than many of its contemporaries. Like the rest of the world, it faces conventional and nonconventional threats of a broad range,” he said in a series of tweets comprising excerpts of his speech. Law and order issues and even internal security are obviously more complex in a large, pluralistic and diverse polity and the concerns about terrorism are particularly sharp since India has experienced unrelenting violence sponsored from across its borders, he further said.

Government’s Ed Terrorism
The enforcement directorate’s relentless pursuit of the Congress and other oppositionparties can prove to be counter-productive in the long run.For a start, the impression can grow that the supposedly autonomous agency is being lessthan professional in its targeting of the non- BJP parties. The narcotic bureau’s botchedinquiries into the drug-related charges against Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan, cansubstantiate this belief.Besides, the Congress’s determined resistance to the probes against it can have two effects.One is to rev up the party’s generally moribund organizational structure, and the other is tospread the message of the government’s “misuse” of the so-called caged parrots against theBJP’s political opponents. It is a charge which will not be disbelieved by sizeable sections ofthe population.That the BJP is uneasy about the perception of playing hooky with the rule book is evidentfrom its irate response to the Congress’s comments on the arrests being courted by theparty’s senior leaders as well as the rank and file.Otherwise, the BJP would not have wheeled out a senior leader like Ravi Shankar Prasad toargue that the Congress’s references to inflation and unemployment were nothing but“bahana” or excuses to take to the streets to protect the Nehru-Gandhi family from theaccusation of wrong-doing.The BJP also has a ready answer to the charge against it of undermining democracy, aslevelled by Rahul Gandhi. It is to recall the Emergency of 1975-77 which remains analbatross round the Congress’s neck.However, since two wrongs do not make a right, it is doubtful for how long the BJP candepend on the references to the Congress’s misdeeds of nearly half a century ago to deflectattention from the allegations of questionable policies today. The Congress may derive some satisfaction from its capability to mobilize fairly largenumber of supporters in Delhi and other towns to protest against the enforcementdirectorate’s action against the party’s first family.But what is bound to bother it nevertheless is how the BJP can manage to ride the choppywaters of inflation and unemployment despite the Congress’s strenuous efforts.None of the latter’s diatribes on the Rafael aircraft deal and the Pegasus snooping devicehave succeeded in unsettling the “chowkidar” (guard) who is supposed to be a “chor” (thief).Evidently, either the people pay no heed to such allegations against the BJP or the ruling party’s credibility is too solid for the charges to breach it. On both counts, the failure is theCongress’s, for it has been unable to earn the people’s trust or undermine the BJP’sreputation.The Congress’s present tactics are, of course, defensive in nature. It is seen to be battlingagainst heavy odds since the party has been unable to rally any other opposition party tocome to its aid. A probable reason for the Congress’s loneliness is the Nehru-Gandhifamily’s stranglehold on the party.It is no secret that many of those who have drifted away from the Congress like SharadPawar or Mamata Banerjee or Amrinder Singh have done so because of the family’sunwillingness to accommodate them.This is also true of Himanta Biswa Sarma and Jagan Mohan Reddy, both of whom are todaychief ministers of their respective states. If the Congress had been openminded enough togive them enough political space, they might have remained in the party and made it muchstronger than it is today.As long as the family monopolises its grip on the Congress, making it impossible for anyonein the organization to rise to the top, the party will not be able to hold the BJP to account onits many faults, including the worldwide belief that its reign is eroding India’s democraticstanding. It is for this reason that it is said that the family is the BJP’s greatest asset.However, there are curious similarities between the BJP and the Congress in this respect. Just as the Congress is sorely dependent on the Nehru-Gandhis to stay afloat, the BJPcannot do without Narendra Modi. It is patent enough that the party will enter a rocky,uncertain phase in Modi’s absence.True, virtually all Indian parties revolve round one person – whether it is the TrinamoolCongress or the DMK or the Rashtriya Janata Dal. Ravi Shankar Prasad has mocked theCongress for the lack of internal democracy. But this is true of all parties.Unless the parties develop robust organi - Kapilkumar M.

contribution shown in ITR and that disclosed with the MHA, donation of foreign contribution by recipient trust to other trusts that were not registered under the FCRA 2010 or investment in foreign contribution in speculative mode.

Agency News:Mumbai Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani’s superhit film ‘Kabir Singh’ received flak as well as praises for its storyline. While a section loved the film for its ‘pure’ portrayal of love, another section criticised it for being misogynistic, violent and sexist. In one of her recent interviews, Kiara defended the movie and the slap scene and said that the film will always be a love story for her. The ‘JugJugg Jeeyo’ actress also added that the scene in the film where her character Preeti is slapped by Shahid’s Kabir was ‘blown out
of proportion.’ “For me deep down it’s a love story and the thing about love is that it’s the only thing that will allow you to forgive certain behaviours in life. Relationships are very complex and it’s very easy for a third person, even me, to say ‘get out of that relationship’ if someone has cheated on someone, someone has not been respectful of the other person, has slapped someone. But for two people in that relationship, it is another complication altogether,” she told Bollywood Hungama. Kiara added, “After that slap in the interval scene which was blown out of proportion, she (Preeti) leaves the man (Kabir). You don’t see that, you forget about that. The fact that she comes back at the end when he comes back to her, is when a section wanted that she shouldn’t have taken him back.
