ModiRaj 2.0:   Good Economics is the only option remaining for 2024 Elections By: Vijay Sardana Congratulations to Mr Modi and his team for changing the narrative of political discourses in India. Now onwards, in India, political calculations are over. People have evaluated all political parties based on caste politics, dynasty politics, Hindutva, nationalism, women and youth card, health insurance, monthly income and MSP card are all used in 2014 and 2019. We all have seen what works and what does not work. Ultimately, the people of India have voted for hope. In 2014, the biggest support base for Modi came from youth, in 2019 the new support base for Modi is women voters of Hindi belt.

Even after guidelines, there are series of high-profile disasters in stock markets including AAA-rated instruments going burst. (Representational photo) By:-  Vijay Sardana In recent weeks, many large-scale disasters in the financial market like ILFS, DHFL, and now Zee Group is due to the lack of prudent rating by rating agencies.

Irrespective of Election Outcome   What is more crucial for Indian Democracy? - Strong Leader or Strong Institutions By: Vijay Sardana We always talk to strong government is required in the country, why we don’t say we need strong institutions in the country. In the last 70 years, we have destroyed the institutions and glorified the individuals. History is full of such examples when individuals become more powerful than the institutions, the society and the country suffered and suffered badly. Are we learning from history or not, if not we are in the process of repeating it? What happens when institutions are undermined or destroyed? This is what constitution  expects from all political parties. What our political parties have delivered by destroying institutions ? Voice of common man is suppressed and ignored and parliament and multiparty democracy is ignored. This is dangerous for highly diversified country like India. What is expected from the New Gove

National Elections without Agenda -  Turning Point for Indian Politics and  Democracy By: Vijay Sardana Please look at the scale of democratic process and what we all are discussing today? National elections of India in 2019 are elections without agenda. Just think over and please indicate what are the major issues flagged by the political parties. Ruling party is not talking about achievements. They are also not sharing their development vision for India. Opposition  also failed in presenting alternate governance model and has no vision for India except highlighting the failure of ruling government. The only agenda all political parties have is how much tax-payers money they want to waste to bribe  voters in the name of free doles to come to power. Why these elections are turning point for Indian democracy? The only thing which has become crucial in these General Election is that elections are polarised between two camps i.e right wing and left wing. T
