Will Anandiben Patel be removed as the CM of Gujarat?
Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Anandiben Patel might soon lose her post as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. She will reportedly be appointed as the Governor of a state. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP Chief Amit Shah are figuring out a strategy to hold on to their votebank ahead of the state assembly elections in Gujarat scheduled for next year. They are worried that the almost year-long Patel agitation may have severely depleted BJP’s core votebank and the party maybe ousted from power next year. The BJP
has been in power in the state since 1998. Anandiben was made the Chief Minister of Gujarat after Modi took over as Prime Minister of the country. She was hand-picked by PM Modi to replace him. Anandiben will turn 75 at the end of this year and BJP sees this as an oppor-

India’s annual wholesale price index (WPI) accelerated into the positive terrain after staying in negative zone for 17 straight months, official data showed on Monday. The annual WPI moved up to 0.34 percent for April, from (-)0.85 percent in March and (-)2.43 percent during the corresponding month of the previous year. The upward movement in WPI mainly occurred on the back of a rise in the prices of pulses, potatoes, sugar, edible oils, egg, meat, fish and milk. The data furnished by the
Ministry of Commerce and Industry, showed that among the three major sub-indices of the WPI, the inflation rate for the index of primary articles, and fuels and power in April increased by 2.1 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively, on a month-to-month (MoM) basis. Similarly, the in-
dex for manufactured products, which has the highest weightage in the WPI rose by 0.8 percent month-on-month. On a year-on-year basis, the April data disclosed that prices of primary articles rose 2.34 percent, whereas the manufactured product edged up by 0.71 percent.

Two years, two promises : ‘Achhe din’ & ‘Congress-mukt Bharat’
Narendra Modi’s BJP came to power with two key promises and it is now time to assess its performance on both. One promise was presented as “achhe din”, while the other was summed up as “Congress-mukt Bharat”. We do not know, of course, if for Modi and his diehard supporters, these two were one and the same. We shall treat them as two distinct but interrelated promises. The feeling of achhe din is subjective and comparative. Yet, there would be at least two clear tests of better times — the GDP growth rate and job growth. (Decline in incidence of poverty could be a better indicator but it is mired in controversies.) While there are expectations of improvement pertaining to growth rate, there is no sign at all of app-reciable improvement in employment, as shown by Christophe Jaffrelot in these columns (‘Nowhere to go’, The Indian Express, April 29). In its absence, the BJP would be pushed into a politics away from the “development” agenda. While the country awaits the magic of development, what is the status of the other politically evocative promise of freeing India from the affliction called the Congress? What does freedom from the Congress mean? If it means making the Congress party irrelevant to competitive politics, the post-1989 scenario has steadily moved in that direction. Two years after its worst defeat so far, there are no signs of Congress revival. Of course, the shrill exercise of power by the BJP might actually impede the further deterioration of the Congress party. The rise of Nitish Kumar and his candid advocacy of a broad-based coalition against the BJP could place the Congress in a position to leverage its ephemeral all-India status. But for now, the Congress moves from one defeat to another; so the BJP and Modi can certainly take credit for fulfilling their promise on this count. But the slogan “Congress-mukt Bharat” has always had a more potent meaning. Besides defeating the Congress in the arena of competitive politics, it implied that a different public discourse and different national political identity would emerge as dominant. It is perhaps in this respect that the BJP’s greater success during the past two years might be worth noting. In a democratic set-up, there is always an implicit danger of turning the majoritarian logic into a socio-ethnic consciousness and making it the basis of the national political community. This is more so in the case of societies with complex diversities. India’s democratic politics, too, has been fraught with this possibility for the past one century — this year marks 100 years of the “Lucknow Pact” recognising the possibility that Hindus and Muslims can co-exist but they might as well be distinct political communities.

Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan says she and her actor husband Abhishek Bachchan share similar sensibilities when it comes to doing films and they don’t restrict themselves to a particular genre.

Two stands in United’s 75,000-capacity stadium in northern England were initially evacuated before the scheduled 3 p.m. kickoff time. As military personnel arrived, the remaining fans and the players were ordered to leave England’s second biggest soccer stadium. A bomb disposal unit carried out a controlled explosion on what police described
as an “incredibly lifelike explosive device” but one that was not “viable.” The incident adds to the uneasiness about safety in sports stadiums in Europe following last year’s Paris attacks when the Stade de France was one of the venues targeted by suicide bombers.

The demand for quota by Patidars is likely to be a key issue in run up to Gujarat Assembly polls in 2017, with BJP’s attempt to put the row behind by announcing 10 per cent reservations for economically backward among the upper castes appearing to meet little success. After a nine-month long sustained agitation by Patidars led by their young leader Hardik Patel, the state government tried to placate the community by announcing reservations recently. However, Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) has rejected it. Earlier, the state government had declared a scheme, Mukhyamantri
Yuva Swavlamban Yojna, for providing financial assistance to poor students of upper caste to counter Patel quota agitation. However, that attempt too had failed. The main opposition Congress, terming the government move as a “lollipop” to the Patidars, has said that if they come to power in the next elections, they

quipped. He said the common people offered the saffron party the mandate to rule as they were “fed up” with the widespread corruption. “In two years of our government, opposition cannot question us in terms of corruption,”
the BJP chief said on the eve of the Modi government completing two years in power on May 26. He said, “the Sonia-Manmohan government of 10 years had put a big question mark on the country’s future in front of the world. “When Atalji (Atal Bihari Vajpayee) was prime minister in 2002, he had said that the 21st century will be India’s century. But the Sonia-Manmohan government that followed for 10 years put a big question mark on the country’s future. In two years, Narendra Bhai has again taken a big stride in making India the world’s leading country,” he said.
