MIM's impressive performance in the Aurangabad municipal elections is bad news for the Congress and NCP.

Shiv Sena's demand that Muslims be disenfranchised only reflects the triumph of the Hindu Right under Narendra Modi.

Even for the Devendra Fadnavis government in the state, protecting cows seems to be a bigger priority than saving farmers' lives.

Why stop at Narendra Modi's childhood, the state government can market places that shaped his political career as well.

Both the prime minister and King Khan are convinced that they know, better than anyone, "what sells" with the people.

The BJP has never been this aggressive since the Ram Mandir agitation. Its mission is complete dominance over India's political landscape.

How to keep calm and be occupied.

Like the AAP in Delhi, BJP under Amit Shah is building an army of supporters across the country. Will it translate into electoral success?

The 14 party "Land Bill march" to Rashtrapati Bhawan shows that the Congress president is trying to make the party the fulcrum of a broad secular alliance.

Having pushed the BJP to the back foot on the Land Acquisition Bill, why did Congress open another battle-front by raking up the snooping issue?

The saffron party allegedly reached out to NDFB insurgents in Assam during the Lok Sabha elections.

Their sidelining shows the emergence of a personality cult within the AAP.

If Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan are sidelined, BJP and Congress's charge of the AAP being an Arvind Kejriwal show, would be vindicated.

Instead of accurately representing the people's choice, our electoral system has become a "winner-takes-it-all".

This election wasn't a referendum on PM Narendra Modi's leadership, but the BJP made it one.

Even though counting is still on in many of the seats, it's clear that the Arvind Kejriwal wave has encompassed the whole of Delhi.

With AAP's Arvind Kejriwal and a BJP-backed Kiran Bedi engaged in a duel in the Delhi polls, it is a good time to revisit the agitation that changed India's politics.

Bukhari is not an Imam, he is a politician who acts as a middleman for political parties. AAP has done the right thing by rejecting his support.

AAP has achieved what the mainstream Left parties have failed to do for all these decades: Carry out a mobilisation on the basis of class.

Don't hope for lower tariffs, Modi as Gujarat chief minister followed policies that kept discoms happy and made power exorbitant.

Kiran Bedi avoided Muslim dominated Matia Mahal during her Old Delhi roadshow yesterday. Clearly, the BJP isn't even trying to woo the community.
