. And it is the liberal hope Chandrachud who is doing it. Perhaps showing he is an actual "liberal" about this matter than the fake ones we have in droves in India.

If you look at xxxx previous judgements, he is liberal but he is of the SJW type which is risky when it comes to Hindu religious practices and issues that concerns national security.

Chandrachud: If we don't interfere in this case today we will walk on path of destruction

If left to me I won't watch the channel and you may differ in ideology but constitutional courts will have to protect such freedoms then we are walking on path of destruction.

Chandrachud: When an enterprise hands out a contract, the actual enforcement is by the labour contractor.

May be the man did not pay a bit, will you haul up someone at the topmost and say that you have incited the crime?

There was a discussion on this thread about the need to regulate online media.
Online News To Be Regulated By Ministry Of Information And Broadcasting

New Delhi: The government has issued an order bringing online news portals and content providers such as Netflix under the Information and Broadcasting ministry. The notification, signed by President Ram Nath Kovind, was issued on Monday.
At present, there is no law or autonomous body governing digital content.

The Press Council of India takes care of the print media, the News Broadcasters Association (NBA) monitors news channels, the Advertising Standards Council of India is for advertising while the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) takes care of films.

Last month, the Supreme Court sought the centre's response on a petition for regulating OTT platforms by an autonomous body. The top court issued notices to the centre, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and Internet and Mobile Association of India.

OTT platforms include news portals and also streaming services such as Hotstar, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, which are accessible over the internet or ride on an operator's network.

But an HT analysis of the LJP’s performance shows that its candidates played the role of a spoiler in 64 assembly constituencies (ACs). Candidates are defined as spoilers if they are ranked third or below, and get more votes than the victory margin in a constituency.

The spoiler criteria is too simple, but it shows the possibility of LJP cutting votes of MGB too.

Easy peasy for them.
Next case can be filed against Arnab and his family and taken to jail once again.
If I were a person with personal vendetta in mind, massive ego, I would do that. They know Arnab is going to take them to the cleaners if he comes to the studio ever again. Thackerays have only their reputation to lose. And between now and next election is a long time for memory. Maybe not that bad.

Where are you getting this from Darshhan bhai? Scary if true.
Over a long term, BJP's rise is continuing in fits and starts. They started forming governments in states like Bihar, Maha and UP as junior partner. From there they went on to become largest opposition party and now they are the single largest party. They would be single largest in Bihar too if they had contested more seats. But except for UP where BJP has blown away all opposition parties, I am not sure if they can form a government on their own in Maha or Bihar. They may need another term in opposition before the young voters understand the chaos and anarchy of thugbandhan sarkars. But if the trend continues BJP should take over these states in the next 1 or 2 terms. In that sense, BJP is ahead of the curve in Maha than Bihar.

See step zero, when you get into power , even before deciding your ministry portfolios is you start building your network in the babudom, in IPS and in judiciary. You collect all the dirt on everyone there is and ensure there is constant flow of that info. You file that info under your bed and keep it handy. Now when you want something done, you pull out the relevant department file, find the suitable person who will be pliant when you confront him with his dirt and get the job done. How do you think PC , Sonia, Pappy, Kapil, Pawar survive for so long. You can jam the wheels of law with all the info you have collected over decades. Esp Sonia and Pappu....they have decades of info collected.

Maha BJP has one more advantage relative to Bihar BJP. Bihar BJP has no leader compared to Devendra Fadnavis or Nitin Gadkari.

Good to see Arnab out. He has every right to cry himself hoarse and its clear that he has been targeted by MH govt for calling out the Italian waitress. Those who were worried that Modi & AS were doing nothing will be somewhat reassured now. One can see why they didn't give in to UT's demands and didn't form a Govt with this adharmi as CM.

Alas, Arnab didnt have patience. He declared war already before getting ready and when UT and AT have the most power/influence.

(Everyone knows now UT and AT face a tough challenge in the next polls. If only Arnab would have waited for that chance , he could have claimed he brought them Thackerays family down . That would have been some story to air and sell)

Agree he should have quietly worked. But that's the difference between Modi/Shah and Arnab...

Idiots like UT/AT are low-lifes. They will be brought down by their own arrogance

Lot of folks here and Twitter were angry about MAD not doing anything like arresting Aroon Purie etc.

The fear , derision and hatred people like Rajdeep, Burkha, Sagarika, Rana Ayyub etc have for Arnab is unreal. Who is to say in 20 yrs time there won;t be a bare knuckles nationalist in power who may not always play by dharma & within the confines of the law like Modi does ? What if someday these worthies too get picked up by cops and get thrown into a cell on some old frivolous case ?

Three Key Factors Pollsters Missed In Wrongly Writing Off NDA's Prospects In Bihar Elections

Three Key Factors Pollsters Missed In Wrongly Writing Off NDA's Prospects In Bihar Elections

M R Subramani

Three Key Factors Pollsters Missed In Wrongly Writing Off NDA's Prospects In Bihar Elections

Snapshot
For one, there are 63.95 lakh ration cards registered for PMGKY scheme in Bihar, of which at least 60 lakh had been utilised in October this year.

Even if we were to consider that a family has only two adults, at least 1.20 crore could have benefitted from this.

The Bihar Assembly elections has been done and dusted now with the National Democratic Alliance returning to power, thanks to the sterling show of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

In the run-up to the elections as well as during opinion and exit polls, chances of NDA were discounted. In fact, exit polls all talked of an imminent exit of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Reasons for the talk of his exit ranged from the reported negligence of poor workers in the State who had migrated to other States for employment to mishandling of economy to anti-incumbency.

But what poll pundits and exit poll agents besides the media forgot was to consider something that, perhaps, had gone under their radar.

Probably, migration workers were affected by the pandemic and some of them chose to return to their natives by foot. The media tried to play it up as some sort of negligence by the Narendra Modi government.

But the Modi government did take note of the hardships caused to the poor employees. It undertook a number of measures to alleviate their misery caused by the onset of novel Coronavirus (Covid-19).

The Centre announced a Rs 1.7 lakh crore relief package under the PM Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY) to provide a safety net to the poor affected by the coronavirus. The package included issuing five kg rice or wheat and one kg of pulses free of cost every month to 80 crore beneficiaries.

Initially introduced for three months, the scheme has been extended further.

Besides, women holding Jan Dhan accounts were given Rs 500 each a month, and increase in wages under the Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee scheme were among things the Centre provided to the poor.

The move to issue free rice and wheat under PMGKY seems, in particular, to be one of the reasons why rural Bihar has voted the NDA, particularly the BJP.

With India carrying over 28.5 million tonnes of wheat from last year and aided by record wheat production of 107.59 million tonnes, the decision to allot free grains under PMGKY was a smart move.

Not only would it help use the foodgrains be utilised to feed the poor but it will also save its wastage through storage.

The free distribution of foodgrain under PMGKY was utilised well and flour millers complained that purchase of atta (wheat flour) had dropped sharply.

In turn, it brought down wheat prices below the minimum support level of Rs 1,925 a quintal. But that was never an issue.

According to data from Bihar government, there are 63.95 lakh ration cards registered for PMGKY scheme of which at least 60 lakh had been utilised in October this year.

Even if we were to consider that a family has only two adults, at least 1.20 crore could have benefitted from this.

Data also show that the overall usage of ration cards in Bihar in October was 34 per cent against eight per cent last year, a clear proof of the welfare scheme being used by the targeted sections.

Similarly, the off-take of wheat has quadrupled to 64,600 tonnes this year compared with last year, while rice off-take has increased nearly five times to about one lakh tonnes.

Going by these figures, the PMGKY allocation of foodgrain seem to have played a silent role in helping the NDA and BJP’s cause.

Second, there is another interesting bit of data to show why Bihar preferred NDA. This is piped water supply to individual homes in the State.

According to latest data, at least 80 lakh homes in Bihar across 40,880 rural wards have got piped water supply connection. This is better than even a State like Tamil Nadu which ranks below 25 in providing piped water supply to individual homes.

Piped water supply in homes means women folk need not trudge long distances to fetch water. Add the fact that Nitish Kumar had closed liquor shops that made women happy, there should be no doubt which way they would have voted.

Third, one of the measures undertaken by the Modi government to help the revival of economy hit by the pandemic was to pump more money in rural areas. Various projections have been made but at least 1.5 lakh crore has been pumped in the rural areas and many have benefited through direct benefit transfers (DBT).

At least 57.57 lakh farmers in Bihar had registered under the PM-Kisan Yojana scheme that provides for Rs 6,000 a year for small and marginal farmers. Bihar is a State where many farmers are small or marginal.

Of the total registered, at least 53.48 lakh farmers or 93 per cent of those registered had benefitted from DBT, making Bihar the eleventh-biggest beneficiary in the country.

This again has played a key factor in the Assembly elections.

Maybe, Bihar lacks jobs, lacks prosperity and development. But data show that the State has benefited from various schemes the Centre has implemented, particularly after Coronavirus set in.

That has played a silent role to some extent in NDA’s victory in the Assembly elections. It was something that observers, media and pollsters failed to read, much to their chagrin.

That will take atleast another 10 years or 2 more central elections. India is still way too poor for these yojanas to not have an impact and eliminating corruption is still a huge issue. A lot can be done in that period.

The strategy of isolating muslim vote to AIMIM is the right one. Alienating from all other parties and isolating the vote bank is the right approach to a stable 2-party system. Otherwise - it is political tribalism and leads to instability. USA is the prime example for what happens if minority interests are being allowed in and India is the example of trying to get out of it.
