POLITICS

This is History (2602)

One who is to be pardoned should not be harassed.

To pardon unworthy and not to pardon the worthy shows thoughtlessness. To pardon the worthy shows thoughtfulness. To pardon is humanitarian quality. But as far as the royal duty is concerned, the ruler has to exert his judiciary powers in deciding who is to be punished and who is to be pardoned. Chanakya relates that a criminal insignificant offence should always be forgiveness.

Who will be LG of Delhi ?

Who will succeed Anil Baijal as LG of Delhi ? A couple of names have already started doing the round but political observers say that the new LG will be he who is having perfect tuning with the Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana. Message is clear for Delhi CM Arvind Kejariwal and the Aam Aadmi Party. And the new LG may be a strong politician ?

For BJP, Priyanka Gandhi is nowhere in UP ?

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh during his UP visit said “The state does not want ‘bua’ and ‘babua’. It only wants ‘baba’,". It means for BJP only SP and BSP matter and not the Congress party in the UP elections.

DEBATE

Only single politician is full time ?

Unmarried politicians are not uncommon in the Indian political scene. In many circles it is often said that such politicians tend to fare better as they come with no baggage or compulsions. In present era of nepotism in politics, the people too have generally shown an inclination towards unmarried politicians.

 Few people, in a chit-chat, were also convinced that only unmarried politicians can work overtime in the politics and do wonders without corruption. Examples cited were of West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, UP CM Aditya Nath Yogi, Odisha CM Navin Patnaik and Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar. One interesting remark came “Why not Rahul Gandhi ?”.
