Modi & news anchors ki ‘astha ki dubki’ | TV Newsance Ep 158 18/12/2021 newslaundry
This week PM Modi went to #Varanasi to inaugurate the #KashiVishwanath Corridor and we were treated to wall-to-wall, 24/7 coverage on Indian TV news channels on every move he made — from the holy ‘dubki’ he took in the Ganga, to praying in the temple to eating food with workers.
#AmishDevgan brought in Shah Jahan of course and we saw some silly history lessons being taught by Sadhguru on #TimesNow and the newest Sadhvi in town on #RepublicTV.

Only One Who Holds 'Damru' Rules Kashi" - PM's Big UP Message viewsDec 13, 2021
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAzHGbrp6mE Prime Minister Narendra Modi today performed various rituals and prayers and took a dip in the Ganga as he launched the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor project with chants of "Har Har Mahadev" in his constituency Varanasi in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh. "God is the only 'sarkar' (government) in Kashi... only the one who holds 'damru' rules. The new complex reflects our history, culture - where the old and new co-exist. I thank Yogi Adiyanath and the artisans who worked tirelessly to finish the corridor despite the pandemic," PM Modi said.
BJP, Mamata share dream of ‘Congress-mukt Bharat’, says RSS-linked Bengali magazine December 17, 2021 https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/bjp-mamata-share-dream-of-congress-mukt-bharat-says-rss-linked-bengali-magazine/article37975169.ece BJP terms it baseless; ‘cat is out of the bag’ says Congress
I fear that in the name of anti-dynasty, we are moving to one dominant leader type set-ups. Unlife the old Congress style where the Gandhis (except of course Indira) was only a cementing force between a wide range of groupings, leaders etc. This therefor ensured the coalition character of the ruling dispensation. Since the Gandhi did not have any specific base it had to always re-invent it mobilisation using slogans as well as caste-religion combinations. You will notice that the smaller parties started with getting more than their vote share, but now they are worried that they have been gobbled up by the camel who entered through the needle of two votes!

Indian Electoral Politics: Shifting Sands
Seven decades down the line the electoral scene has changed for the worse and is currently dominated by emotive issues. The foundation of derailing the ‘this worldly’ issues was the Ram Temple movement. This movement became stronger after the implementation of Mandal Commission report. Since then the domination of emotive, identity issues is on the rise. This is reflected by the fact that in 2019, no party dared to utter the word secularism, as claimed by the winner of 2019 elections, Mr. Narendra Modi himself. He presented it as a trophy for the efforts of RSS-BJP’s political success.

It is in this track that any issue can be given a religious turn as we witnessed its peak in the coining of phrase ‘Corona Jihad’. This showed how electoral politics can be reduced merely to game of identity issues. BJP has mastered this art over a period of last few decades. The media, which is prostrating to BJP ideology, is putting its best efforts to magnify the doings of communal stream.
Not to be left behind, Arvind Kejrival is trying to compete which these divisive efforts revolving around identity issues, in his own unique smart ways. The AAP, which in a way, is an alternate model of communal politics; is playing its Hindutva/communal card with shrewdness. Kajriwal party is also an example of blind subservience to the dictator by the other leaders of that party. As Kejriwal demanded this; all his cronies, stated saying the same. The peak of this was Atishi Marlena, who stated that this demand of Laxmi-Ganesh is not merely Kejriwal demand, it is the aspiration of 130 crore Indians! Most of the dictatorial tendencies believe they are speaking for the whole country. This is a duplicate of what Narendra Modi, when he was Chief Minister of Gujarat, used to say that he is talking on behalf of Five Crore Gujratis. India needs a party which can accommodate all sections of society with equality and dignity, apart from welfare; it also promotes employment and proactively deals with marginalized sections of society. We need a party where religion is not mixed with politics. For many, AAP began with a big promise for a better politics, but its reality is there for all to see with its trajectory leading to demanding Laxmi and Ganesh on currency notes and dumping of Jan Lokpal in the dustbin of Hisotry!
