Justice Markandey Katju delineates the distressing state of Indian politics, where politicians exploit caste and communal divides for electoral gains, rather than addressing the nation’s dire socio-economic issues. He criticizes the forthcoming Delhi Assembly elections as a mere reshuffle of leaders without substantial improvement in citizens’ lives. Katju advocates for a united struggle aimed at transforming India into a developed nation akin to the USA or China, emphasizing the eradication of poverty, unemployment, and malnutrition. He calls for a revolutionary political and social order to ensure justice and a decent standard of living for all Indians.

Freebie Promises of Rahul Gandhi Might Bankrupt Maharashtra
Promises of free electricity and loan waivers do not make Rahul Gandhi appealing, as they may plunge Maharashtra into an economic debacle. Adding to the already debt-ridden and fiscally deficit-prone states, these freebies will only further strain public funds, reduce investments in infrastructure, and make development projects come to a grinding halt. Freebies encourage dependency, increase tax burdens on the citizenry, and threaten sectors like education and healthcare. This paper shall describe how such policies, such as subsidy and skill development, can raise the economy and provide sustainable alternatives that will lead toward long-term growth and empowerment of the people of Maharashtra.
