CPI(ML)(Liberation) holds a mirror on elections funding. With just Rs 20 per voter family, they tell me how the poor can have a stake and why big money should be kept out Bihar’s ‘Maley’ shuns corporate funding; asks ₹20 donation per family

Ghulam Nabi Azad's "Modified' motives were clear on his last day in the Rajya Sabha when he should have spoken up about Kashmir losing representation in the Council of States but delivered an excruciatingly supplicating speech, hailing the PM, on his last day in the Rajya Sabha

Significantly, there was no meeting of the BJP parliamentary party as is the norm. It was a cumulative meeting of the NDA. We point out in our story So, has the TDP and JD(U) and the rest of these parties merged with the BJP? Why hasn't the BJP parliamentary party met?

Covering Parliament is public service. Journalists decode legislation and policy for the benefit of common people. Ever since covid struck, we've been restricted from entering parliament. This is deliberate suppression of information and access

We talk about inequality in India in the context of the Ambani wedding and how it puts pressure on the poor to emulate the rich. How Gandhi, aparigrah and social reforms have been forgotten. My edit in Hindu Business Line today

Good nuanced piece on the BJP-RSS faultlines by @_sabanaqvi The RSS sends a message

Sangh Parivar’s critique of ‘arrogance’ in BJP and its election strategy hints at realignment...

After 2024 election challenges, RSS leaders’ statements on party approach and ‘arrogance’ raise questions about Modi’s role and BJP-Sangh power dynamics.

Not long after Feroze Gandhi exposed manipulations of the Dalmia-jain group, all their 245 insurance companies and provident societies were nationalised. Subsequently, LIC was established. Can anyone think of Adani asset nationalization

7 decades before Hindenburg-Adani, a speech by Feroze Gandhi that sank a business house

Feroze Gandhi’s marathon performance, delivered on December 6, 1955, was an exposé that laid bare the financial manipulations by what was known as the Dalmia-Jain or DJ Group.

How typical -- the rewriting of History by Sanghis. How else would you prove that you weren't a bunch of louts and hooligans who desecrated and demolished a mosque? That you are scum who take delight in the humiliation of other human beings.
