Senior MP govt employee suffers massive heart attack while dancing at cultural function in Bhopal

Agency News: Bhopal

Kapilkumar M. Hirpara Editor

Modani has entered India’s political lexicon. Rahul Gandhi’s latest tweet adopts this expression, already in vogue in his party’s social media campaign, ‘Hum Adani ke Hain Kaun’, and in the parliamentary chorus by the opposition demanding a JPC probe in the Gautam Adani imbroglio. I can claim a small hand in popularising this expression through videos, social media posts, and an article after the Hindenburg expose. I did not coin this term, though. I first heard it from my friend from Madhya Pradesh, farmer activist and socialist leader Dr Sunilam, who has been using it for a few years. Laljibhai Desai, the president of Congress Seva Dal and my fellow traveller during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, told me he coined this word when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. Thankfully, folk songs and political slogans remain ‘copyleft’.Modani is a slogan, a clever word-play, a political weapon that helps shift the focus of the opposition from a personalised and inept attack on the PM to a sharper critique of his alleged nexus with big business. Clubbing Modi and Adani in the same word is a brilliant rhetorical device to establish the proximity that both of them evidently enjoy. In a political culture sensitive to allegations of ‘suit-boot ki sarkar’, this can be the masterstroke the opposition has been waiting for. Modani is not just a cuss word. It is, at least potentially, a political concept that describes and analyses what it critiques. This concept names the latest phase in India’s political economy, the specific variety of the linkage between economic and political power that characterise the present government. Its applicability goes beyond the central government. It helps us make sense of the political-business nexus developing at the State level. I suspect this may well go beyond Modi and Adani. This concept is here to stay and merits an elaboration.First things first: There is nothing new about the nexus between business and politics in India. It goes back to the beginning of Indian democracy, or even earlier if you look at the history of our freedom struggle.

Women-led unicorns generate employment and revenue at a comparable rate to those founded by men. According to the report, women founders have similar success rates to their male counterparts, with 7 out of 1000 women-founded start-ups reaching the late stage.
