By Arun Srivastava Saffron ecosystem, especially the BJP leadership always strives to turn a Hindu festival into a political controversy. Every dispute adds to its membership and helps widen its support base. This time too they have succeeded in their move to politicize Maha Kumbh Mela. Notwithstanding stampede and death of large number of pilgrims […]
By Arun Srivastava RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat returned to Nagpur a disappointed patriarch. His ten day mission to Bengal to find a “credible and charismatic face” who could throw Mamata Banerjee out of power and install a saffron government after 2026 state assembly polls, could not be accomplished. Known as a man of few words, […]
By Arun Srivastava How far the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat would succeed in his mission to rejuvenate the saffron ecosystem and rejuvenate the cadres in West Bengal, who have been feeling disconsolate and crestfallen due to the intense factional feud in the state BJP, is not yet clear, but one thing is certain that they […]
By Arun Srivastava RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat visiting Bengal for ten days is certainly not such a big news to draw attention. But his stay this time attains importance for the reason that he would discuss the state of the BJP and RSS in the state and give direction to the RSS workers to take […]
By Arun Srivastava Nobody except Narendra Modi knows Narendra Modi well, better than others. Leaders of almost all the political parties, even his BJP colleagues, are mythically in a state of confusion whether Modi would renounce Nitish Kumar and impose president’s rule in Bihar or Nitish would emerge on the political scenario as his conscience […]
By Arun Srivastava Muslims have no right to vote: this is the message that was sent by the state machinery and police to the country on November 20, while the elections to the assembly were underway in Maharashtra and Jharkhand and nine by-elections were held in Uttar Pradesh. Nevertheless, Muslim women in UP deserve salute […]
By Arun Srivastava The election for Jharkhand state assembly scheduled to be held in December this year is going to big challenge for the RSS, especially its chief Mohan Bhagwat. A win for BJP would help refurbish the image of Narendra Modi and boost his bargaining power, which he desperately needs to raise his declining […]
By Arun Srivastava The RSS leadership has imparted a new dimension to its protracted battle against Prime Minister Narendra Modi by extending support to caste census at the three day conclave of RSS organisations that ended in Kerala on September 2. With deepening existential crisis and unable to find a viable political device to combat […]
By Arun Srivastava It is the story of two rapes, one in Kolkata and another in Muzaffarpur – the first one a middle class doctor and the second one a Dalit girl. Both incidents took place took place within a gap of two days.. While in case of one, following massive protests across the […]
By Arun Srivastava What has happened in Bangladesh was inevitable. It is extreme historical irony that Sheikh Hasina had to eventually flee Bangladesh, the country which was literally fathered by her father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Hasina, who once helped rescue Bangladesh from military rule and restore the democratic governance, has been primarily responsible for creation […]
By Arun Srivastava After the sudden, inglorious exit of Sheikh Hasina from the political theatre of Bangladesh, the tone and temper of the students’ movement have changed. A new narrative is making rounds in the political and media circles that the student movement for quota reform is fading from the official narrative and BNP-Jamaat have […]
By Arun Srivastava Only six months back, Indians, especially the bourgeoning middle class endorsing the jibes of Narendra Modi against Rahul Gandhi, who preferred to address him “Pappu”, “Shehenshah” and a “part-time politician”, are now looking towards him with hope. Not only the common people and the politically conscious, but also the policy decision-makers and […]
By Arun Srivastava Give a bad name to the dog and kill it. This is actually happening with the railways. Recurring train accidents are the best motives for marketing the train services to private sector. Selling a profit making organisation would invite severe public outcry and criticism. It would give a bad name to the […]
By Arun Srivastava Prime Minister Narendra Modi lifting the 44-year-old ban on government employees from joining RSS and allowing them to actively participate in its programmes, might be construed as a tactical move to buy peace with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, but more than that, it is a move to legalise RSS interference in managing […]
By Arun Srivastava The battle for dominance between Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and his deputy Keshav Prasad Maurya, believed to be the protégé of the Modi-Shah duo, is only the prelude; the ‘big fight’ is between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for the ‘Hindu Hridaya Samrat’ crown, though post […]
By Arun Srivastava Senior BJP leaders engaging in solecism in Uttar Pradesh and Bengal certainly can not be described as factional feud. Instead it unravels the contagious malaise that afflicts the party, endangering its current level of functioning. It may sound to be baloney, but the party imbibing the Hindutva cause has never been faced […]
By Arun Srivastava It was a shaken and short of self confidence Narendra Modi on July 2 in Parliament.. Notwithstanding being insipid and incoherent, his reply to motion on President’s speech was purely an attempt to gain back his aura of “Political Invincibility”, which unfortunately he could not accomplish. Modi having the reputation of a […]By Arun Srivastava RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has said that the NDA’s return to power after a decade in office was a testimony to the good things that happened on its watch. This is beyond comprehension. How could he claim that the NDA governed the country? Nothing could be more bizarre. The people of India […]

By Arun Srivastava It was shocking to see incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is even followed and revered by Lord Jagannath of Puri, prostrating before two mortal politicians Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu for their support to satiate his desire for becoming prime minister for third consecutive term. During a phase when the saints and […]

By Arun Srivastava It was inevitable. It was to happen. Never before in its hundred years of existence, no Sarasaṅghacālaka, chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the right-wing organisation, the parent entente of the BJP, had faced this nature of humiliation as the incumbent Mohan Bhagwat has to suffer from none else but by […]

By Arun Srivastava After a epoch making victory in 2020 assembly election in Bihar, in which the CPI(ML) Liberation won 12 out of 16 it contested, the party is quite hopeful of sending its representatives to the Lok Sabha this time. In that election the three main Left parties had won 16 of the 29 […]

By Arun Srivastava With the passing of every phase, the anguish gripping the RSS and traditional BJP cadres and supporters is getting more pronounced and discernible, notwithstanding the attempts of the top RSS leaders to make them relent and ensure the victory of the BJP candidates. Much against the argument positioned forward by the RSS […]

By Arun Srivastava Narendra Modi expressing joy and taking jibe at Rahul Gandhi’s candidature from Rae Bareli shows that the man is blinded by political arrogance and overconfidence. His remark “Daro mat, bhago mat”, implying that Rahul left the Amethi seat out of fear, is simply empty electoral rhetoric wrapped in perception of joyous misreading […]
