Trends – 01 to 02/ 2024 (Beginning of the Year) 25th, February 2024

THE MODI ERA A- International Event’s:- (a)- The Ukrain War Completes 2 Years today Lot of people were hopeful that PM Sir will intervene and settle the issue. However no such signs are visible. (b)- The GAZA conflict which started on 7th of October 2023, where more then 30000 people haven killed. Again no signs appear on PM Sir side. Inspite of the fact that he is a “International Leader Now” B- Award of BHARAT RATNA. This is the First time that five such award have been sanctioned in one go. (a)- Late Karpoori Thakur. From Bihar to woo Nitish Kumar into NDA fold. This Paltu Ram obliged Modi Ji. (b)- Late Charan Singh to woo, RLD leader into NDA fold, Succeeded. (c) Late Narsimma Rao. Objective to belittle Congress and woo the Tlangana. Not likely to succeed. (d) Dr. M. S. Swaminathan a great agronomist and Scientist. Responsible for green revolution in the country. May be PM Sir wanted to please the farming community. Effect very doubtful. (e) L.K. Advani a very senior leader of the BJP who was mainly responsible for RAM MANDIR movement. He was adequately ignored so far, to please the cadre of the BJP. C- Judicial Activism- This only happens when the ruling dispensation is in the wrong. Two recent examples are (a)- Supreme Court of India ruled “Electoral Bonds” as an unhealthy practice to be stopped immediately. (b)- The Mayoral election of Chandigarh was over turned due to malpractice by the returning officer. Snnippets : a- The PM’s Speech in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha was more of an election speech. It was not of status. b- The “First Past The Post” System Has Several Debilitating Consequences for Democracy. c- Our Political Discourse Has Increasingly Turned Undemocratic; Our Commitment to Values Such As Tolerance is Weakening. d- Our Legislatures Have Become Dysfunctional Instead of Electing Legislators, People are Electing Chief Ministers and Prime Ministers.
