"January 12 2019, marked a significant day for Uttar Pradesh's political discourse. The day when history repeated itself. For the political observers, it was a deja vu moment. The arch rivals Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samajwadi Party officially announced their alliance for the 2019 Lok Sabha election. This was a stark reminder of that moment when almost 2 decades ago the first generation leaders of the parties Mulayam Singh Yadav and Kanshi Ram came together to fight the assembly elections. However, the SP-BSP Alliance kept Congress out. The same Mayawati whose closeness to Sonia Gandhi made headlines is now sounding poll bugle against the Congress. Both Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati and the SP-BSP are considered a major part of the larger opposition alliance. So why the SP-BSP alliance turned down Congress' friendship offer?

On Monday, the Modi cabinet raised the heat amidst the winter session of parliament underway by clearing 10% reservation for the economically weaker upper castes. The cabinet decided to amend the Constitution so that the “economically backward” upper castes will get 10% reservation in direct recruitment in government services and admission to higher educational institutions. Lok Sabha, on its last day of winter session, passed this Reservation Bill with a 2/3rd majority. The upper house of the parliament, Rajya Sabha is debating the reservation bill today. The proposed reservation will be over and above the existing 50 per cent reservation enjoyed by the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and the Other Backward Classes, taking the total reservation to 60 per cent. The upper caste Hindus are its core vote banks. Thus, this move was being seen as Brahmin-baniya vote bank motivated. In this show today, we are trying to decode the possible outcome PM Modi is expecting after this move. But we will also look into the past examples and what lesson they establish.

With time running out to save 15 miners trapped inside a 370 foot illegal coal mine in Lumthari area of Meghalaya since December 13, the state Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said the state government has written to the Coal India seeking their special pumps and equipment to aid the rescue of these 15 miners. The Indian media which sensationally highlighted the recent Thailand cave excavation of young football team, sadly has failed to pressurize the Central government about this rescue operation which has entered its 16th day. This issue has only gained pace after a major leader of opposition citicised the prime minister on social media. Unlike the case of Prince the boy who got stuck in a borewell in Kurukshetra district of Haryana, which attracted a lot of mileage both from media and the political fraternity.. but this case seems to have taken a back-foot, probably because it happened in one of the states of the seven sisters. So this shows that unless a popular face from the opposition party does not take the matter to the forefront, the case of Meghalaya or any such issue will only seems to be hanging in..

The Ministry of Home Affairs on Thursday issued a notification which allowed 10 intelligence and investigating agencies and the Delhi Police to intercept, monitor and decrypt "any information" generated, transmitted, received or stored in "any computer". The MHA notification says that the order was passed under Section 69 of the Information Technology act, 2000 and rule 4 of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Interception, Monitoring and Decryption of Information) Rules, 2009. The order soon snowballed into a massive controversy with privacy activists raising concern over the ambiguity of the notification, while the opposition too cornered the government calling it a violation of fundamental right to privacy of Indian citizens. Congress president Rahul Gandhi tweeted about it saying the Modi government wants to convert India into a police state. The ongoing winter session of parliament too felt the heat of the topic. There was a massive uproar in the parliament houses with the opposition accusing the government of creating a surveillance state. But is India really turning into a surveillance state?
