[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 23rd Dec. Veteran Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar has sparked fresh discussions on the leadership of the INDIA Opposition bloc, suggesting that the Congress should be open to not leading the alliance. In an interview with The Indian Express, Aiyar stated, “Let whoever wants to be the leader be the leader. There is competence in Mamata Banerjee… There is competence in others in the alliance.” Aiyar, who recently released the second volume of his autobiography A Maverick in Politics, emphasized that the Congress’s position would remain significant within the alliance, regardless of formal leadership. “I am sure Rahul [Gandhi] will be treated with even more respect than he would be as the president of the alliance,” the 83-year-old leader remarked. Leadership Tussle Within the INDIA Bloc Aiyar’s comments come amidst a brewing tussle over who should lead the INDIA bloc, formed to counter the BJP’s electoral dominance. While the Congress doubled its Lok Sabha tally in the recent elections, it has faced setbacks in state polls in Haryana and Maharashtra, leading to questions about its ability to anchor the alliance. Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has emerged as a strong contender for leadership within the bloc. Banerjee recently stated, “If given the opportunity, I would ensure its smooth functioning. I don’t want to go outside Bengal, but I can run it from here.” Support Gathers for Mamata Banerjee Several veteran Opposition leaders have thrown their weight behind Banerjee. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) founder Lalu Prasad Yadav said, “Mamata Banerjee should be given the leadership of the INDIA Bloc. Congress’s objection means nothing.” Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) founder Sharad Pawar echoed this sentiment, calling Banerjee a “prominent leader” capable of steering the alliance. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut also expressed support, saying, “Whether it is Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal, or Shiv Sena, we are all together. Mamata ji should be a major partner in the INDIA alliance.” Challenges and BJP’s Criticism The leadership question highlights the complexities of the INDIA bloc, especially in regions where alliance partners compete against each other electorally. The BJP has dismissed the bloc as “opportunistic,” with leaders questioning its long-term viability. While the Congress’s willingness to take a backseat could foster unity, it also risks diminishing the party’s centrality in the Opposition landscape. With the 2029 general elections looming, the INDIA bloc faces the dual challenge of resolving internal differences and presenting a united front against the BJP’s formidable election machinery. As the debate continues, the INDIA alliance must navigate its leadership dynamics while maintaining focus on its shared goal of defeating the BJP.   The post Mani Shankar Aiyar Stirs Debate: Congress Should Be Ready to Not Lead INDIA Bloc appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

“The Central government is very weak and it might collapse in August this year. It will allow the INDIA bloc to form a new government,” Lalu Prasad said while addressing the RJD leaders and workers on the 28th Foundation Day of RJD at the party’s head office in Patna.

This year’s general election in India arguably brought up more questions about the fairness of the electoral process than any other in the country’s history.

For example, in December, a bill was passed in India’s parliament that allowed election commissioners to be appointed by a panel dominated by the executive branch, which many feared would endanger free and fair elections.

And during the campaign, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a string of speeches that were widely seen as Islamophobic, in which he accused the opposition Congress Party of favouring Muslims. The Election Commission failed to adequately enforce the Model Code of Conduct when it came to these comments.

Opposition chief ministers, Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Hemant Soren of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), meanwhile, were arrested on charges of corruption. Both parties claimed the charges were politically motivated.

One of the lessons from the election, however, is that even when there are questions about how free and fair a vote is, opposition parties can dent the dominance of ruling parties.

In India’s election, the opposition presented a united front and stuck to a consistent message reflecting specific issues of voter discontent.

Why caste politics were so important

Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party did not perform as well as expected in the election, suffering major losses in its heartland northern Indian states. Modi began the six-week election campaign saying his party would win more than 400 seats. Ultimately, it was reduced to 240 seats, while the opposition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) won 232 seats.

INDIA had a shaky start to the election. A founding member, the Janata Dal, joined Modi’s coalition earlier this year. INDIA also failed to reach a seat-sharing agreement with another member, Trinamool Congress (TMC), although that party remained part of the alliance.

Yet, as the campaign wore on, the BJP’s attacks on the opposition led to a more united front, focusing particularly on the issue of caste.

Indian society and politics are stratified by its caste system. It has roots in ancient religious texts, which grant symbolic and material rights and privileges to people based on their membership to a particular caste.

Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi’s speeches highlighted a commitment to protecting the Constitution and addressing the issue of caste-based injustice in India. He pledged to undertake a caste census to reveal the extent of disadvantage and concentration of wealth in society.

He also pointed out the government’s centralisation of power, as well as the upper caste-dominated media’s adulation of Modi and its inattention to issues of unemployment and inflation.

Lalu Prasad Yadav, a leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) party, which is also part of the INDIA coalition, warned the BJP intended to change the Constitution to end caste-based affirmative action. Though this was denied by Modi, the allegation seemed to strike a chord with voters.

Caste presented a dilemma for Modi’s Hindu nationalist politics, which valorises upper-caste Hindu practices and behaviours, while relying on support from the lower caste majority to win elections.

The BJP had sought to ameliorate this tension by promoting welfare schemes and accusing the secular opposition of colluding with Muslims to deprive the Hindu lower-caste poor.

In the lead-up to the election, Modi also claimed to have replaced traditional forms of caste stratification with four new castes of welfare “beneficiaries” – women, farmers, the youth and the poor.

In truth, however, the government’s welfare schemes consisted of paltry cash transfers, small loans, food rations and subsidies for private goods like toilets, which sought to compensate for the stagnation of incomes and lack of jobs. Spending on health and education by Modi’s government, which could have transformative effects on society, has languished.

The BJP’s infrastructure-driven economic program has benefited large companies, leading to accusations of crony capitalism. It has also failed to attract substantial foreign investment or grow the manufacturing sector to create more jobs.

Over the past decade – but particularly following the COVID pandemic – India has also become one of the world’s most unequal countries. Women, Dalits, Adivasis and Muslims have fared the worst.

Dalit politicians also grew in prominence

Perhaps the biggest surprise for the BJP were its heavy losses in its heartland state, Uttar Pradesh.

The Samajwadi Party (SP) had previously dominated Uttar Pradesh politics by promoting the interests of particular lower caste “other backward classes”. This tactic, however, generated resentment among other lower castes, which was exploited by the BJP to win power in 2017.

In this election, the SP appears to have fashioned a new, broader caste coalition.

This election also saw new shifts in Dalit politics, the lowest rung of the caste structure in India. In Uttar Pradesh, new Dalit political parties became increasingly prominent, such as the Azad Party led by Chandra Sekhar Azad.

Further south, the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) consolidated its status as the largest Dalit party in Tamil Nadu, winning all the seats it contested.

The future of Indian democracy

Indian democracy is not out of the woods yet. Activists, students, political leaders and journalists remain imprisoned.

The Hindu nationalist movement also has a history of inciting communal violence when things do not go its way in the electoral arena.

The Modi government started to extend its media censorship during the election, as well.

There is little to suggest that Modi will temper what many see as authoritarian tendencies, but there is now more resistance, scepticism and political alternatives that will hopefully aid India’s democratic recovery.

Arvind Kejriwal arrested, but can he run the government from jail? The recent arrest of Arvind Kejriwal, the prominent political figure and Chief Minister of Delhi, has sparked a flurry of speculation and debate. As news of his arrest spreads, one pressing question emerges: Can he continue to effectively govern from behind bars?

Arvind Kejriwal's arrest marks a significant moment in Indian politics, with implications that extend far beyond the confines of his individual circumstances. As the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and a key player in the political landscape, Kejriwal's actions and decisions have considerable influence over the governance of Delhi, a populous and politically significant region in India. According to legal experts, there's no explicit law barring a Chief Minister from running the government while under arrest. Despite Kejriwal's detainment, he remains eligible to continue leading unless proven guilty in court, as per prevailing legal interpretations. This example was evident in cases like Lalu Prasad Yadav appointing his wife as Chief Minister during his arrest and Hemant Soren's resignation followed by his party colleague's rise in Jharkhand. However, the practicality of governing from jail raises significant challenges. While supporters maintain Kejriwal's determination to govern from confinement, logistical hurdles abound. Calling cabinet meetings or conducting administrative duties from a cell presents logistical impracticalities. Moreover, if Kejriwal remains arrested and is unable to discharge his duties effectively, the Lieutenant Governor could potentially invoke 'failure of constitutional machinery,' paving the way for presidential rule in Delhi. After this, what is your take? Can governance truly endure behind bars? Drop your comments and follow @jobaajstories for more such updates!

'We are both India and Bharat, rest will be taken care of by Baba Baidyanath': RJD chief Lalu

Lalu also expressed concern over present affairs in the country and asserted that PM Modi's "exit is certain" following the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

RANCHI: RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Monday accused the BJP government of “doing away” with the constitution and “wipe out” the name of BR Ambedkar.

Speaking to the media after offering prayers at Baba Baidyanath Dham temple in Jharkhand’s Deoghar, the RJD supremo remarked, “We will not allow the constitution, poor, unemployed or Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar to be harmed in any way. They (the saffron party) want to wipe out the name of Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar.”

Lalu also expressed concern over present affairs in the country and asserted that PM Modi’s “exit is certain” following the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

“The situation in the country is not good. Inflation and unemployment are at its peak. People are falling prey to hunger. Narendra Modi has resorted to deceiving people again with elections around the corner….But his exit is certain this time,” claimed the former Union Minister.

When asked about the ongoing ‘Bharat’ renaming controversy, the RJD Chief said, “We are both India and Bharat; the rest will be taken care of by Baba Baidyanath.”

“I visited both Baba Baidyanath and Basukinath and offered prayers to them and will visit a few other religious places following which I will jump into the poll battle and start the work for the INDIA block formed by 28 political parties,” he added.

He also came down heavily on PM Modi over the reduction of LPG prices, terming it a tactic to “deceive people before the elections.”

“The Prime Minister is trying to fool the people by reducing the price of gas cylinders by Rs 200, as if, he is paying it from his own pocket…. It is the money of the people. The funds for ration or kerosene come from citizens’ money,” the RJD chief remarked.

Terming the G20 summit a “waste of money”, Lalu questioned what benefit the common people of India would get from the summit. “What difference did G20 Summit make to the people of this Country…So much money in this Country was wasted by inviting so many people from across the world,” he said.

Meanwhile, Lalu informed that the INDIA bloc parties will start brainstorming soon to select candidates for the 2024 polls in New Delhi later this month, which will also be attended by Bihar Deputy CM Tejaswi Yadav. “A committee has already been formed and Prime Ministerial candidate will be elected one from them only,” he said.

There are no differences on the issue of the Prime Ministerial candidate and a consensus leader of the block will also be selected in due course, Yadav continued.
