The Recent Political Drift in Jammu And Kashmir

Today was a shocking day for all political enthusiasts as BJP backed out from the coalition government with PDP in J&K. Before discussing the political turmoil of today, I would like to enlighten all my readers with the current assembly seat distribution of J&K.

PDP-28 seats 
BJP -25 seats
NC(National Congress) -15 seats
INC(Indian National Congress) - 12 seats

The seats required for majority = 44 seats and the current coalition was effectively making 53 seats (BJP + PDP). But now the scenario has changed, but let's see the possible reasons because of which BJP backed out of the coalition.

Reason 1-Terror is on rise and BJP doesn't want to be a part of a failed coalition. But these issues are not valid enough because they were exiting since last year so why backing out now ...... I guess something is fishy. 

 Reason 2- As soon as BJP backed out, CM Mufti resigned from her post giving clear signals that an alternative government with NC and INC is not a possibility (provided the historic rivalry between NC and INC).This leads to speculations that Mufti was very rigid in her decisions and these decisions didn't strike a good deal with the BJP leadership in J&K.

 Reason 3- Modi government wants more control over the military in J&K and if BJP backs out of Kashmir then J&K will be under governors rule which implies that central government will be handling the Kashmir issue all by themselves. This indicates that another political /surgical Strike is bound to happen ! and very soon.

I personally feel that the timing of the potential surgical strike will be before the start of Amarnath yatra!

The third reason seems to be a more sought out reason but it must be executed properly for maximum output. This reason benefits the country as well as BJP is campaigning for next Lok Sabha election (A similar strategy used by them before UP assembly elections)

PS - I am not a hardcore BJP supporter.

The decision to keep diesel, petrol prices high is bad economics and bad politics A few months ago, when the government decided to not alter the tax component in diesel and petrol prices, despite the beginning of the surge in their prices; the argument of building up revenue pool made economic logic. According to the finance ministry's  revenue collection projection , the government expects to mop up more than Rs 2.579 lakh crore by levying taxes on the petroleum products by the end of this fiscal. This is a massive jump from the gross revenue collection of around Rs 88,600 crore in 2013/14, in the last fiscal the collection was Rs 2.016 Lakh Crore. These collections stabilized the fluctuating GST collections in the indirect tax kitty. But now, when the international petrol and diesel prices are surging and the Indian currency is depreciating, these revenues are becoming a bone of contention. Given the circumstances, should the government hold these taxes? And is the...

Fuel cell vs Electric Car...... Battle For Road

We have recently witnessed an increase in electric cars around the globe . The change may not be quite visible in India but in developed economies , this change  is very significant . For instance , in America the average sales of electric car went up by 25 percent in year 2018. Still with so much coverage given to electric cars , automobile giants are up to research on some thing else... guess what ! fuel cell cars . Yes the same fuel cell which we studied in high school, the cell which used to use hydrogen as a source of energy and release steam as output. Isn't it fascinating. Recently Toyota and Nissan have launched their FCV(Fuel Cell Vehicle) in the market and the Japanese Government is planning to build robust infrastructure for hydrogen stations across the country. This gives us an insight that we have two options to run our car from ? What are we gonna chose !! The fuel Cell Vehicle uses hydrogen to run the car and since hydrogen is a very important industry gas , t...

 Suppp guys this is Kanav . This is my second blog on this platform. Lets start IPL News: CSK's downfall has started?? So today is CSK v/s GT, last years final match. GT has played quite well. Both the openers hit centuries today and  hit  the ball quite hard. Sai Sudarshan scored 103 in 51 balls and Gill scored 104 in 55.They both hit 27 boundaries in total. Both batsmen played fabulously. GT has a set a target of 231.Its an above average score and it will be interesting to see what CSK will do about it. Subhuman Gill, after not scoring good runs in almost every match, has finally scored a century! GT have not been in great form though. They have lost their last 3 matches and are at the bottom of the table .Under Shubman Gill's leadership the team entered a downfall..Even though they won't be coming in the playoffs, after this match they will save some face. As for CSK , bowling could've been better. Tushar Deshpande took out both the openers in the 18th over , otherwi...
