Veteran Congress leader and Kerala MP Shashi Tharoor recently said in a program that ideological purity will not build the nation. There may be different governments at the Center and the State, but mutual cooperation is necessary. We must sometimes be prepared to cooperate even between different ideologies.

Shashi Tharoor said in an Amrita News program in Dubai this week that the problem is that right now our politics demands that everyone should be ideologically purist, so we will not see any merit in the other side or will not talk to anyone from the other side, which is not good for a healthy democracy.

‘Accused of praising the Prime Minister’
He further said that even an impartial post made by me on the Prime Minister’s speech has been accused of praising the Prime Minister, whereas I did not say even a word of praise. I just mentioned the speech. The point is that at present such is the atmosphere in our country. People are only interested in ideological purity, but you can’t get things done that way.

‘Cooperation between state and center is necessary’
Tharoor said that someone has won the elections and formed the government at the Center and you have won the elections in your state and formed the government. If your state does not cooperate with the Centre, then how will you get any work done? In my opinion, this is not a difficult task. You really have to say that it is in our best interest to cooperate. This is in the interest of our people. It is in the interest of the citizens of both India and Kerala.

He further said that yes, I disagree with the ruling party, but they are in power. He has got the mandate of the country. I will work with him. If they come up with a plan that will give money to the state, I will discuss it within the framework of my beliefs, so that I can get money for my state. This kind of mutual cooperation is necessary among everyone.

‘Strong response to provocative action…’, Uddhav group’s reaction when China claimed Arunachal

The Dalit vote bank has always been a ‘kingmaker’ in the politics of Uttar Pradesh. This is the reason that in every election, the race to hold this class intensifies. Now the Samajwadi Party (SP) has made a new bet to help Dalits and that is ‘vote theft’. On the instructions of Akhilesh Yadav, the party has completely activated its frontal organization Ambedkar Vahini. The aim of this is that by taking advantage of the weak grip of the BSP and making a political dent among the Dalits.

National President Mitha Lal Bharti says that we are doing village-to-village chaupal, telling people their rights and explaining that their votes are stolen in the election. This time the booth-booth has to be guarded, so that the voice of Dalits cannot be suppressed. Bharti gave the example of running the night in districts like Ghazipur and Chandauli and said that we are going door-to-door of Dalits. Will give the message of protecting the constitution and reservation and stop theft.

SP’s attack on BJP

This campaign of SP is seen directly attacking the BJP. Party leaders allege that the ruling party weakens the political strength of Dalits by misusing the electoral system.

At the same time, the declining credibility of BSP has given SP a big opportunity. This is the reason that the SP is making ‘vote theft’ electoral weapons to further strengthen the equation of PDA (Backward, Dalit, Minority). Political analysts believe that this strategy can create difficulties for both BJP and BSP.

What did the senior analyst tell?

Senior analyst Virendra Singh Rawat says that after ‘Save the Constitution’ and ‘Save Reservation’, ‘Save the vote’ is becoming the biggest slogan among the Dalits. SP is trying to become a new center of Dalit politics by giving it air. This is the most accurate opportunity to fill the void created by Mayawati’s weak grip.

Actually, the Congress raised the issue of vote theft in Bihar elections. Rahul Gandhi made it a weapon and mobilized opposition parties. Akhilesh Yadav has put the same agenda on the land of UP.

Now the entire focus of SP is to organize Dalits up to the booth level and unite against the BJP. It is clear that ‘vote theft’ has become a new slogan on Dalit land. How much impact this slogan will show in the election arena, it will decide the election of 2027.

When Ladakh was separated from Jammu and Kashmir and made a union territory in 2019, a lot of celebration was celebrated here. At that time, the local people said that their decades -old demand has been fulfilled. The people of Ladakh used to complain that they could not get enough funds from Jammu and Kashmir. Now the situation has changed. Local people say that even though they have separated from Jammu and Kashmir, they do not have the same participation in the administration as they want.

Local people now say that instead of rule from Srinagar or Jammu, the command is now in the hands of Delhi, so there should be assembly and Ladakh should get state status. Also, the region should be included in the sixth schedule of the Constitution, so that the language-culture of Ladakis can be protected. In the latest violence in Ladakh, the miscreants attacked the BJP office and set a police van on fire. Many people including Sonam Wangchuk are on hunger strike. A bandh is organized all over Ladakh.

Leh kargil democratic alliance
Usually, there is amazing unity between Kargil and Leh, who has different opinions. Kargil has a plurality of Shia Muslims, besides Leh is considered a Buddhist capital but this time the two are together and they have formed an organization called Leh Kargil Democratic Alliance to demand the state.

People met Shah
Local people say that for three years, protests have been increasing here against the direct government of the central government. Local people are constantly saying that our culture, land, resources should be protected and local government is necessary for this. The Modi government at the Center formed a committee only on these demands. This committee had held several meetings, but no result was found. In March this year, Amit Shah met a delegation from Ladakh, but the conversation could not move forward. Local people said that this happened because Amit Shah rejected our main demands.
