Yogi is the first CM in UP in last 70 years who has been re-elected after successfully completing 5-year term. Since independence, UP was a backward, agriculture-based state with little industry, low social parameters etc. which fits for a ‘bimaru’ state definition. Despite economic backwardness, UP is most important state due to the highest population and MP seats and often PM is selected from this state. Despite this, congress party’s stronghold area like Amerhi, Rai Bareli and Sultanpur lacked economic development. Election victory of PM candidate was more important than economic development here. Two-decade rule by regional players SP and BSP alternatively didn’t improve UP’s economic status. Instead, high corruption made the state as ‘ulta pradesh’. Why blame Yogi for past inefficiencies? Re-election of Yogi by huge margin in 2022 means people decided Yogi to continue. Some people who have negative opinions are mostly from outside UP, leftsist, communist, social media influencers,

John Bolton, who was USA’s national security advisor during Donald Trump era and recently claimed that he had helped organize coups in other countries. He cited a failed 2019 Venezuelan coup attempt against President Nicolás Maduro to a media interview. Chinese CPC leadership thinks this is not unusual. Washington also boasts of its righteousness and legitimacy when it invades foreign countries and plans coups, as it has done with Afghanistan, Iraq, Venezuela, Yugoslavia, and many other countries. But USA at least takes UN mandate before targeting any country. This UN mandate is not possible for other P5 countries like Russia and China, as can be seen during Russian invasion of Ukraine. China understands this and launched ‘Belt and Road’ scheme in 2013 to overcome this limitation.

Trump era USA secretary of state Mike Pompeo: I was the CIA director; we lied, we cheated, we stol

The planning team of new India Jaishankar: India really matters more in this polarised world Jaishankar: Vote bank politics no longer impacts India’s foreign policy Jaishankar: India buys much less quantity of Russian oil than Europe Jaishankar: China disregarded border pacts with India, casting shadow on bilateral ties Jaishankar: India also has concerns about human rights in USA. Jaishankar: questions USA-Pakistan relationship which according to him served none of them. Pakistan President Ayub Khan jokingly ‘slaps’ USA President Lyndon B Johnson in public. This is perhaps summarizes USA-Pakistan relationship over the years. Only President Donald Trump was wise enough to understand this. Jaishankar: You are not fooling anybody by saying these things that resumption of USA military aid to Pakistan for F-16 fighter jet package is to tackle counter-terrorism. This is the proof of where F-16s and its Raytheon AI

Mamata Banerjee is undisputed leader of Bengal in absence of strong opposition but there is no positive opinion about her outside Bengal. The recent 2022 state elections proved that. Her ‘khela hobe’ slogan was a winning slogan only in Bengal and other opposition leaders tried replicating it without success. Economic progress in Bengal under her is better than previous disastrous 34 year communist rule and this is what people of Bengal compare to support her. They do not compare with other states which are performing much better. Except agriculture and related primary activity, there is not much action on other fronts. Durga Pujo is perfect time to project ‘Maa Mamata’ image As per Axis poll, Mamata Banerjee’s leadership rating is only 2% which is higher than Rahul Gandhi rating of 1% but much below current PM Modi’s rating of 40%. TMC leaders like Shatrughan Sinha, who got Assansol Lok Sabha by-election seat from TMC and won it, say Mamata Banerjee is alternative as PM but she suffers
