Politics in Karnataka has long thrived on temple turf wars, but the storm around Dharmasthala—one of South India’s most revered shrines—has taken an extraordinary twist. What began as a chilling testimony has now turned on its head, with the so-called whistleblower himself confessing that it was all part of a larger conspiracy to defame the…
As someone who has spent decades observing and reporting on the Congress party, I can say this without hesitation: honesty and Congress politics have never been compatible. The party’s moral compass has always been set, not by principles or performance, but by the only currency it truly values—loyalty to the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. That is how…
As the Election Commission rolls out its nationwide Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the political temperature is boiling over. The exercise—aimed at removing deceased voters, duplicate entries, and illegal migrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh—has become the latest punching bag for the Congress and its allies. But the irony here is rich. For years,…
Politics, I tell you, never fails to surprise. Especially now. One moment you’re sipping chai while watching NATO leaders nod politely in Brussels, and the next thing you know, Donald Trump is back in the White House, tweeting threats, slapping tariffs, and declaring wars (mostly trade ones, for now) like he never left. The man…
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy seems to have had a sudden spiritual awakening—no, not the kind that leads to personal enlightenment, but one that leads straight to the BC vote bank. And lo and behold, at his side is the eternal yatra-yogi, Rahul Gandhi, now pretending to carry the cross of social justice that…
The political atmosphere in Karnataka appears deceptively calm, but beneath the surface, tensions simmer with the potential to erupt into a full-blown crisis for the ruling Congress party. For now, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah seems to have retained his seat, having weathered yet another intra-party storm—this time stirred by none other than his deputy and state…
As Telangana braces for the upcoming local body elections, the principal opposition party—Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS)—and its first family, the Kalvakuntlas, find themselves entangled in yet another political and financial controversy. This time, it’s not over irrigation contracts, land deals, or excise scams, but over cricket—specifically, the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), a body now under…
The Congress party’s newfound obsession with “saving the Constitution” might have been mildly amusing if it weren’t so tragically hypocritical. The very party that trampled on India’s constitutional spirit time and again—from suppressing free speech during the Emergency to distorting the Constitution’s Preamble with ideologically loaded insertions—now claims to be its saviour. One might ask:…
In what is being widely seen as a strategic masterstroke ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has announced a 35% reservation for women in all categories of state government jobs, exclusively for permanent residents of Bihar. While supporters hail it as a bold move toward empowering women and boosting youth…
Speculation is the lifeblood of political commentary. But what we’re witnessing today from a growing breed of so-called political analysts is not just lazy conjecture — it borders on absurdity. The current buzz over who will succeed JP Nadda as the BJP’s national president is a perfect example. Far from reasoned analysis, much of what’s…
