that KCR and Mamta Bannerjee are
stirring the political cauldron for a

various political parties to oppose the
autocratic and anti-democratic rule of
the BJP.”

“Man ki bat” to “Man ka Interview”

On the first day of 2019, the prime minister, who has avoided open press confer-
ences until now, chose to address the perception that he is on the back foot by giv-
ing an interview – a one-to-one interaction with ANI’s editor Smita Prakash. In it, he
sought to address the slew of criticisms that have been levelled against his govern-
ment.

But much like all his previous interviews over the last four years, this too turned out
to be bereft of any diligent and persistent cross-questioning.
The interview was yet another exercise when Modi was given a platform to attack
the Congress, and lead the audience towards believing that the Indian political sys-
tem is only a contest between him and the opposition – or more like a Modi versus
Rahul Gandhi cricket match.

Will Mayawati become the next Prime Minister ?

To knock down BJP in 2019 Loksabha elections, Bahujan Samaj Party and
Samajwadi Party has made a pre poll alliance. This is the third pre-poll alliance by
the BSP — the first in 1993 with the SP and later in 1996 with the Congress for UP
Assembly elections. This is the first pre-poll alliance it has struck for Lok Sabha
polls.The BJP would no longer get the benefit of division of votes and reap rich
political dividends as it got in 2014 Lok Sabha elections and later in UP polls. The
coming together of the SP and BSP also poses a challenge before the BJP to prevent
the arithmetic from turning into chemistry and to prevent the non-Jatavs, who had
overwhelmingly voted for the BJP in 2014 and 2017 elections, from returning to
the BSP fold.If BSP-SP alliance wins then it is sure that Mayawati will be the PM
and AKhilesh will be the CM of Uttar Pradesh.
