This is a very wrong decision. Instead of burdening the staff, the government should appoint new candidates. All the bank employees should be transferred near to their families and parents, especially the women employees. This must be made a mandatory rule.

Well said "A Visitor" on Kerala crisis. Congress is always a party which behaves with highhandedness and always try to push their coterie members in the Chair, which always belongs to the person who fights and seen on the ground. Why BJP is winning elections is that they are promoting their cadre, not their leaders, quite often. We never knew who was MP, Delhi and Rajasthan CMs before they were given the positions. Youth mixed with experienced people have to be chosen for the top job, rather than pushing people who have been defeated back to back

While PM Narendra Modi and HM Amit Shah Jodi in BJP is known for promoting Hardwork as a criteria for any party or government posts and also experiment with unknown faces as party is in a powerful position to do so , the Congress on the other side even after repeated losses still believes in Harward and foreign educated backroom advisors who have turned the Congress High command to a LOW command preferring a candidate who has a history of historical election defeats for his party in place of hard working leaders who made Congress comeback in kerala possible. The party lost Assam then MP permanently by such adventures.
How can a Nation trust a party which still cannot decide who will be CM of Kerala from it's own MLAs after getting huge majority when it has to fight against a mighty BJP hardworking election machinery liked by majority of Indians.
Its a strange case where a important figure in high command ie General secretary organization of Congress party himself wants to be CM rather than following a peaceful democratic process as mentioned in the Red colour book of Indian constitution which his party leader Shri Rahul Gandhi always carries and is proud of.
A VISITOR

The appellant sought the copy of Letter from competent authority for Lok Sabha Elections held in Delhi in May 2024 and the list of RCS staff deputed for election duty from the Registrar of Co-Operative Societies, GNCTD, regarding Bannu Biradari CGHS Ltd. The Appellant contended that the PIO neither forwarded the RTI Application to the Administration branch nor gathered the information from the concerned record holder. The CIC observed that the CPIO’s reply is prima-facie evasive/misleading. The CIC further observed that the PIO ought to have forwarded the RTI Application to the Administration branch or should have sought the assistance of the concerned record holder as per Section 5(4) of the RTI Act. Further, the CIC commented that the FAA is also found to have abdicated the statutory duty under the RTI Act. The CIC directed to provide the information permissible under RTI Act. Noting the absence of the PIO or an authorized representative during the hearing, the CIC directed the PIO to send a proper written explanation stating the reasons for acting in defiance of the stipulations contained in the notice of hearing.
Comments
The PIO is expected to seek the help of the holder of information under section 5(4) of the RTI Act. The concerned individual whose assistance is sought to provide the information is the deemed PIO.

At least it will run from the Center and not by a family run “high command ”

Banerjee should contest by election
I think Mamta Banerjee should move to rajya sabha and Abhishek Banerjee should contest by election and became the leader of opposition in west Bengal assembly

A strong, tech-driven organizational model of BJP
The Bharatiya Janata Party has indeed built a strong, tech-driven organizational model—data analytics, booth-level management, social media outreach, and centralized messaging. That gives it an edge in many elections across India.

It's not fair to select KC as CM, the opposition leader for all these years was VD and he led this fight back and now that UDF has come to power. Suddenly the high command decides who is the CM. No wonder this party had a down fall in the past and please respect the emotions of the public. This victory is not because of high command's effort. Anyways if KC becomes the CM, mark my words after 5 years from now BJP will come into power and that will be the end of High Command

“Mamata 's defiance Mode”
Didi's refusal to step down as CM seems a natural reaction especially for registering protests against the SIR carried out in Bengal by ECI resulting in deletion of 91 lakhs voters and SC's unfavourable pronouncements.
The idea seems sending a political message across the board.
But, quite the opposite, should she not resign gracefully in deference to people's mandate.?
Creating a constitutional crisis ,post election,could lead to avoidable violence.Public suffers ultimately.
The opposition should fight for their constitutional rights - politically and legally under law of the land.
