Review of "The Rise of the BJP: The Making of the World's Largest Political Party" by Bhupender Yadav and Ila Patnaik Josh Felman Friday, February 11, 2022
the BJP's message of cultural nationalism does resonate with a significant section of the population, giving it a compelling message to go with its superb organization and millions of devoted members. That makes the BJP a formidable vote-getting machine. No wonder it has just risen and risen. But history teaches that a relentless rise is often followed by a disastrous fall. ..
... To make sure this doesn’t happen to them, the BJP not only pays considerable attention to sustaining morale amongst its party members (as already mentioned); it also takes great care to avoid the perils of dynastic leadership.
Beyond the constant need to replenish the party with new energy, the BJP faces another challenge, one that will be even more difficult to manage: it must meet the needs of the nation. Without doubt, the BJP has found a way to satisfy what we could call 'Cultural India'. But meeting the needs of Aspirational India, the hundreds of millions of young people looking to find good jobs and raise their living standards, will be a far more difficult task.
https://www.inc.in/rahul-gandhi-speaks,Rahul Gandhi's speech at Chattam House Mar 2023 RG has claimed that Indian democracy is a sort of global good -- critical for the health of democracy all over the world --
https://twitter.com/tanujalive/status/1635871704621936640 . Rahul Gandhi lamented the lack reaction on the part of the established democracies of the Indian democracy being eclipsed.
https://twitter.com/boo_yeaah/status/1635546927025754112 The query on the surprise expressed by Rahul Gandhi on why other countries have not noticed the issues with Democracy in India. he, however, clarified that it's India's internal problem -- to be tackled by Indians themselves and it's for the rest of the world to decide what it would do.
Comment by SS -- The ruling party, by now it has become crystal clear, is hell bent to block any discussion in the parliament of the Modani scam. It's using the speech as a manufactured alibi towards that end. But, all at the same time, would try to milk it as much as possible to stir up some sort of "nationalist" hysteria as well.

The Hindenberg Report
Adani Group: How The World’s 3rd Richest Man Is Pulling The Largest Con In Corporate History January 24, 2023 https://hindenburgresearch.com/adani
In this report, we highlight what we believe to be one of, if not the most egregious example of corporate fraud in history. We have uncovered evidence of brazen accounting fraud, stock manipulation and money laundering at Adani, taking place over the course of decades. Adani has pulled off this gargantuan feat with the help of enablers in government and a cottage industry of international companies that facilitate these activities. These issues of corruption permeate multiple layers of government. According to numerous sources we spoke with, Indian securities regulator SEBI seems more inclined to protect the perpetrators than punish them.

प्रधानमंत्री अडानी के मुद्दे से डरे हुए हैं | Rahul Gandhi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaCz9WW9yNg Rahul Gandhi saying that he would like to speak in Parliament on his lecture in London
https://twitter.com/pbhushan1/status/1635510558228353024 50 days since the expose of the multi headed Adani scam by Hindenburg. But no JPC, no discussion in Parliament & no investigation by Govt! In answer to a parliamentary question on whether any committee to investigate allegations against Adani group, there was a cryptic reply.. No Sir.
https://twitter.com/MahuaMoitra/status/1636332117847339009 Adani in Jan said - “Vinod Adani does not hold any managerial position in any Adani listed entities or their subsidiaries & has no role in their day to day affairs”. Today it says “ Vinod Adani is part of the ‘promoter group’ of various listed entities within Adani group”
Fighting Bad Press: Karnataka-based Campaign Against Hate Speech has successfully complained against media channels that spread misinformation and targeted harassment ( https://www.newsclick.in/press-council-finds-vijay-karnataka-newspaper-guilty-targeting-muslims-covid-19-coverage ) . NewsClick reporter Nikhil Cariappa talks to Shilpa Prasad, lawyer and member of the Campaign, about the process.
Terror in Barjora: Panic grips four villages in the Barjora region in West Bengal. The reason is intense explosions for opencast mining. Agricultural labourers and farmers evicted in the villages and around await compensation and rehabilitation ( https://www.newsclick.in/bengals-barjora-coal-mines-disaster-waiting ) reports Madhu Sudan Chatterjee, who writes for Ganashakti.
There can be no Bhagat Singh without his ideology, notes historian S. Irfan Habib in conversation with senior journalist Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay. If Bhagat Singh is not a communist in our remembrance ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOQ2fkCRETo ) , he’s only a photo on a wall. Habib says the ruling political parties in Punjab or elsewhere do not need a ‘strategy’ to bring Bhagat Singh’s ideas into provenance. All leaders must do is read the literature he has left behind. But when they thrust Bhagat Singh’s face into the limelight, minus his ideas, it is akin to killing him again.
Bhagat Singh’s Essays: Student activist Sahil Budhwar recalls Bhagat Singh’s Letter to Young Political Workers ( https://www.newsclick.in/studentswith-love-bhagat-singh ) and his essay on students and politics. Released by the SFI on the anniversary of his hanging on 23 March, NewsClick brings you the epilogue of the booklet that features both essays.
The image, especially on the media and social media, of a PM at the height of his powers. One who is unstoppable. The reality on governance is someone who has found it difficult to get things implemented and is unsure of what to do next.
https://thewire.in/government/narendra-modi-governance-myth-reality
Overall, the record of the second term reveals a contradiction between the image and the reality. The image, especially on the media and social media, is one of the PM at the height of his powers, and unstoppable. The reality on governance is someone who has found it difficult to get things implemented and unsure of what to do next.
