Project Cheetah: Displacing 5,000 people for lions and rushing cheetah translocation with no social impact surveys— Are we truly prioritizing conservation?
Review - DEKHO
With only 6,500 Cheetahs left in the wild, can we afford the risks to their welfare vis-a vis local communities?
Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan has launched a sharp attack on Rahul Gandhi and Congress, calling them the “B-team of BJP” ahead of crucial elections. The remark not only intensifies political rivalry but also raises deeper questions about the state of opposition unity in India. With frequent public disagreements, overlapping positions on key issues, and a visible lack of coordination among opposition parties, the narrative of a fragmented opposition is gaining ground. At a time when electoral battles demand strong alliances and clear messaging, such accusations risk reinforcing the perception that internal conflicts are overshadowing collective strategy. Is the opposition’s visible infighting and lack of cohesion unintentionally giving an advantage to the BJP, or are such sharp remarks simply calculated political positioning before elections ?
केरल के मुख्यमंत्री पिनाराई विजयन ने राहुल गांधी और कांग्रेस पर तीखा हमला करते हुए उन्हें “बी-टीम ऑफ बीजेपी” बताया है, वह भी अहम चुनावों से पहले। यह बयान सिर्फ राजनीतिक टकराव को तेज नहीं करता, बल्कि देश में विपक्ष की एकता पर भी बड़े सवाल खड़े करता है। बार-बार सार्वजनिक मतभेद, कई मुद्दों पर मिलते-जुलते रुख और विपक्षी दलों के बीच तालमेल की कमी अब साफ दिखने लगी है। ऐसे समय में जब चुनावी मुकाबलों के लिए मजबूत गठबंधन और साफ संदेश जरूरी होता है, इस तरह के आरोप यह धारणा मजबूत कर सकते हैं कि अंदरूनी टकराव सामूहिक रणनीति पर भारी पड़ रहा है। क्या विपक्ष की यह अंदरूनी खींचतान अनजाने में भाजपा को फायदा पहुंचा रही है, या फिर यह सब चुनाव से पहले की सोची-समझी राजनीतिक रणनीति है ?
With the BJP’s rise in states like West Bengal, from just 4% vote share in 2011 to around 38% in recent years, and strong leadership under Narendra Modi, the party’s growth appears steady and data-backed. At the same time, Mamata Banerjee continues to hold ground but faces increasing electoral pressure, turning the contest into a tighter and more competitive battle. In contrast, Congress, led by Rahul Gandhi, is dealing with declining influence, losing leaders in Assam, facing factionalism in Kerala, and struggling to convert presence into performance. When one party is expanding its vote base, another is fighting to retain dominance, and a third is battling internal decline, does the data clearly show a shifting political balance across states ?
