Emergency

Since PM Modi brought up Rajiv Gandhi's name into play, a pandora's box has been opened, and many skeletons that were buried deep in Congress' closet are out in the open to haunt the party.

The weeks have rolled by and the Rs 72,000 NYAY has all but disappeared from the narrative. It is stunning how little traction it got on the ground during the 2019 Lok Sabha election

In the Congress manifesto, in a very subtle manner, the party has made it clear that it tends to enforce a crackdown on media should it win the elections this year.

India has seen that whenever dynastic politics has been powerful, institutions have taken a severe beating.

Recently, a bunch of young techies were arrested in Bengaluru for raising slogans in support of Narendra Modi during a Rahul Gandhi meet.

Rahul Gandhi, just like his grandmother Indira Gandhi is still selling the idea of 'Garibi Hatao', which intends to end poverty in the country if Congress comes to power. In 1971, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had used the ‘Garibi Hatao’ theme in the election campaign. 

As tributes flow in, Congress seems to have forgotten how they treated George Fernandes during the Emergency, when he was alive

I am no socialist, but yes I am capable of looking beyond that to appreciate a man with sincerely held beliefs. And a working moral compass.

Today morning, George Fernandes breathed his last following a prolonged illness.

Many believe that Rajiv Gandhi helped Warren Anderson escape after the Bhopal Gas Tragedy in a quid pro quo deal for the release of his convicted childhood friend, Adil Shahryar
