LJP leader and MP from Jamui in Bihar Chirag Paswan is annoyed these days. His resentment is from both BJP and Nitish. He feels that the competition between the BJP and JDU to be the bigger power hub than other parties, and is resulting in complete ignorance of LJP. Chirag’s resentment is such that when the District President of Munger in his party made a statement that everything is going well in the NDA, the person was immediately discharged. Chirag wanted at least one of the 12 Legislative Council seats in the state to fall in his party’s kitty, but Nitish retained seven of these seats for JDU and asked Chirag to ask BJP for his quota seat. Chirag understood Nitish’s attitude. He was already annoyed with Nitish for not including at least two MLAs from his party into his cabinet, however, the Bihar CM did not budge.

The Congress, distressed after the fall of Kamal Nath govt in MP, started working on a strategy to take revenge on BJP and for this, Haryana was chosen as a target. The reins of this mission were handed to former CM Bhupendra Singh Hooda. Once Hooda received green signal from the party high command, the senior leaders started an exercise to unite MLAs who are fed up of Khattar and his ministers. The highest resentment among the MLAs was about the working style of the Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala. It is believed about Dushyant that once a file reaches him, he holds it with him for a long time and thus nothing gets done. Such is his arrogance that he does not even listen to CM Manohar Lal Khattar. Since many important departments are with Dushyant, the execution of many schemes are also stuck. If sources are to be believed, Hooda was fast engaged in contacting the angry MLAs and at one time he got the support of 40 of 90 MLAs of the state. Before Hooda was able to fulfill his motives, a minister in Khattar govt, Chaudhary Ranjit Singh, who has two important ministries power and jail, got a whiff of Cong’s plan and immediately informed Khattar about the bid to destabilize government. As soon as BJP got idea of Hooda’s plan, they lured in 5 Cong MLAs, while on the other hand, Abhay Chautala did not give any special consideration to Hooda, so Khattar government was saved by a thread!

When our army entered into a violent skirmish with China in Galwan Valley, a large group of eminent journalists arrived in Leh to cover the ground developments. Because of Corona pandemic, Leh administration told them to cover the issue from Leh Airport itself. Further, they were told that they would have to stay in quarantine in their respective hotel rooms for 7 days. Hence these ‘renowned’ journalists and their crew tried to leave the hotel but police personnel did not allow them to exit. So these well-known people found a way to gargle with China and went to the roof of their hotel and started reporting from the terrace. In fact, standing on the terrace, they also showed the Galwan Valley, which is incidentally hundreds of miles away from their actual spot, but all this was done in the hope of retaining their ‘title’ of being number one media house. Now citizens of Ladakh are busting these acts of TV channels by making videos on social media and thwarting the claims, and as saving grace these enthusiastic reporters are trying to show the report of the museum in Ladakh.

Following the violent clash between the Indian-Chinese military in the Galwan Valley of Ladakh, questions have been raised over the efficacy of our diplomacy due to silence of the international community. The PM travelled around the world to improve relations with other countries, due to which Rahul Gandhi started calling him ‘Tourist PM’. But when India was looking for support after the clash, its supposed closest friend, USA, also spoke four days later, that too in a cautious manner. On the other hand, when our soldiers attacked Pakistan, Late Sushma Swaraj was our foreign minister, and because of her efforts, 48 countries were standing with India. Even during the Doklam dispute with China over Indo-Bhutan-Tibet border, countries like Japan had openly attacked China and we had open support from South and South-East Asian countries. However, now word is that PM is seriously discussing the issue of whether any political person should be given the reins of foreign policy, and there is a strong rumour that option of bureaucrat-turned-politician, MEA S Jaishankar is being sought.

The shock to Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev by AYUSH ministry, on the discovery of Coronil medicine for Corona Virus, is not for nothing rather has a well thought out policy of the Centre behind it. If reliable sources are to be believed, the trial of the corona vaccine in Government’s Pune laboratory is in its final stages, and scientists have successfully tested it on mice and rabbits, the results of which are encouraging. Now it is being tested on humans, and it is believed that by the end of July, the picture about this vaccine will be clear. If human trials are successful too, then on the coming Independence Day i.e. on August 15, the Prime Minister can dedicate this Made in India Corona vaccine to the citizens. This vaccine is not only important for the people but will also strengthen and grow the stature of India before the international community. Perhaps this was the reason why the Ministry of AYUSH conducted its investigation on Baba’s investigative drug Coronil. Baba, who had once waved saffron in the 2014 elections, had also given Rs 20 crore to the PM Care Fund, despite this, his graph has continuously fallen in Modi government 2.0. Because ever since his business interest has started dominating Baba’s yogic interests, he has consistently made good connections to non-BJP leaders, and he also praised West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee. Meanwhile, Baba has been told that Centre does not want that the mode of announcement chosen by him for Coronil makes the Indian government look bad in the international community, hence the AYUSH Ministry has taken the step. 

The IT cell of the BJP has been blaming Jawahar Lal Nehru for failure of our foreign and defence policy. For example, Nehru is blamed for losing Aksai Chin to China who still holds it. And now since we have lost the Pangong Lake to China as per Chinese have been claiming openly, one awaits a tweet from BJP IT cell with another Nehru photograph blaming him for   losing the Pangong Lake as well. 

Why is China treating India as an enemy? In the changed scenario, the race to become  ‘superpower’ has been redefined with the whole world shaping & behaving in a typical bipolar way and the world is clearly divided between the USA and China. Earlier, Pakistan was piggy-backing the USA as the latter had made it a base for its war in Afghanistan. Drubbed by it, Pakistan took refuge in the Chinese patronage. China had its eyes on taming India too. In the 18 meetings held between PM Modi and Xi Jinping in the last 6 years, China had the same calculation in its mind as India’s past cordiality with the USSR also pointed out. Then came an era, when Narsinmha Rao led India as a new symbol of economic liberalisation, which continued during the Vajpayee’s regime as well. China kept observing the developments as it saw Indian-US ties grow stronger when PM Modi used to meet the US President followed by the Chinese President. Finally, ‘Namaste Trump’ by PM Modi took Chinese concerns to unprecedented heights only to be complimented by BJP IT cell’s propaganda holding Wuhan responsible for the spread of Corona. This got China to take out its dagger, which it is famous for.

Prashant Kishor (PK) was once the apple of the eye of Modi and BJP and had a very important role in framing the election strategy for 2014. Just check out one of his latest tweets- The war against Corona was won in 21 days and nobody turned up to fight against China. Now, what is left, is economic development well that will be taken care of by govt data personnel….there is no need to worry as the govt says that everything is alright. And to become Atma Nirbhar (Self Reliant) just keep following our election campaign. Even if you ignore the implacability of this statement, how will you turn a blind eye to what PM Modi said on Indo-Chinese standoff in the all-party meeting – Neither has anyone intruded into our territory nor has anyone taken over any post. Nobody can dare to take even an inch of our land. Now, look at the irony that the  Minister of State for Defence, Sri Pad Nayak in his recent Goa visit, told the media in clear terms that India will not spare the Chinese as they attacked our soldiers by intruding on our land. Meanwhile, how can you forget all the Bhakt News channels harping on the story that the Chinese have taken over two-thirds of the 134 Km long Pangong Lake (Three Idiots fame). The Chinese soldiers are still here and no Indian can think of setting foot near the lake. So the question is where did the skirmish take place on June 15 ? We all are certain that the Indian soldiers didn’t enter the Chinese territory, so it means that the Chinese invaded our territory and attacked our soldiers. China is still declaring the Galwan valley to be its territory. Why is nobody giving a befitting reply to China?

Covid-19 seems to be redefining communism giving equal treatment to all irrespective of the fact whether one is on the margins of the society or in the ‘safe’ powerhouse cocoon. The investigation has assumed top priority as to how did Covid-19 reach higher officers and most powerful central ministers. With Unlock 1.0 the central govt ordered opening up of all the central govt offices with 50% employee attendance mandatory. Senior officers were asked to report regularly on the duty. Home Ministry was working full throttle even during the lockdown. The factual and grammatical errors in the bill brought on Kashmir were being rectified. It is said that there were 57 such errors in the bill that was to be corrected and the bill was to be presented to the parliament. This task was assigned to a capable officer specially summoned from the Law ministry. Later the same officer was found to be corona positive. The chain of officers in various ministries like Nirman Bhawan, Rail Bhawan, Shashtri Bhawan, Krishi Bhawan, National Media Centre and Health ministry being found corona positive continued unabated. Although there is no official list of all the infected officers in various ministries but according to an estimate, around 300 officers have turned positive. Among the seniors, the name of Defence Secretary Ajay Kumar, Vinod Pal of the Niti Ayog, Under Secretary of the Finance department Rita Mal (who sits in the North Block), Dhatwalia of PIB along with 30 other officers feature in the list. Many senior ministers like Nitin Gadkari, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Prakash Javdekar and Narendra Singh Tomar have gone for a self-quarantine. Apart from these, 6 Secretaries along with 6 Joint Secretaries are also self quarantined.

Jyotiraditya Scindia is an old Congress leader and hence he has not coloured himself properly in BJP’s saffron. Since he has studied abroad, hence in his thoughts and behaviour, one can easily witness the stamp of western civilization. Till the time he was in Congress, he was regarded as Rahul’s faithful and after Rahul was appointed Party President, he would still address the Gandhi-scion with his first name, Rahul and even Rahul Gandhi also never felt bad. Now that he has joined BJP, Scindia continues to call the saffron leaders with their first name. Just imagine if any BJP leader address Shah and Nadda by first name – Amit and JP – how will the BJP workers digest that? Since the culture in Sangh and BJP do not permit usage of the first name for senior leaders, so if Jyotiraditya wants to remain in BJP he will have to learn to play the BJP’s band.
