Ahead of UP elections, Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan makes false claims about the state’s growth

20 Jan 2022  |  Scroll.in  |  English  |  Political Claims

Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan made several claims about Uttar Pradesh's growth under the Yogi Adityanath-led government, many of which were found to be false upon verification. These claims included the highest number of houses built for the poor, the most tap water connections, improved women's safety, and a riot-free state. Fact-checking revealed discrepancies in these claims, showing that UP does not lead in housing for the poor in rural areas, tap water connections, or women's safety. Additionally, the state has not become riot-free and still lags in several socio-economic indicators. The article highlights the inaccuracies in Pradhan's statements and provides data to refute them.

Things unclear at home, Nitish goes pan-India

15 Apr 2023  |  sundayguardianlive.com  |  English  |  Elections

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is attempting to unite anti-BJP parties to challenge the Narendra Modi-led BJP in the May 2024 polls. During his visit to Delhi, he met with various political leaders to discuss forming a common platform. However, there are uncertainties regarding seat distribution among the Grand Alliance in Bihar, which includes the JDU, RJD, Congress, and other parties. The alliance faces challenges in agreeing on seat sacrifices for the 2024 elections. Kumar's strategy involves promising equal distribution of positions and responsibilities among the partners. Political observers are skeptical about the feasibility of resolving these differences, and there is speculation about potential shifts in alliances as the elections approach.

China border rivalry worsens among the Himalayas

08 Sept 2023  |  Brisbane Times  |  English  |  Nationalism

The article explores the escalating border rivalry between China and India in the Himalayas, highlighting China's 'Well-off Villages' program and India's 'Vibrant Villages Program' as strategic moves to assert territorial claims. Diplomatic efforts have been largely ineffective, with nationalism being stoked on both sides. The G20 summit in New Delhi is portrayed as a platform for Modi to bolster his domestic and international standing. The article also touches on the blend of religion and politics in Modi's governance, the socio-economic divide in India, and the mixed sentiments among locals towards Modi's policies.
