Blog Sree Vijaykumar From the Editor's Desk What divides us as a whole often unites some of us. This seems to be a core strategy for the BJP today. On the one hand, there is an encouraging decisiveness in pushing through economic reforms. Perhaps, Mr Modi likes to travel abroad, but yes, he has brought India into the world's investment radar. That is absolutely a good thing. However, within India, the unwillingness to take other parties along is a dangerous sign. The GST bill and land bill are stuck primarily due to partisan politics. Even more dangerous is the silence when the bhakts and Hindutva goons take law and order into their own hands. Mr Jaitley, these are not mere distractions as suggested by you, but damaging to society as a whole, where upto 25% of the population is silently waiting for you and your party to fail. We are an emotional people, it is important that the leadership recognize these emotions. That is the only way your development plans will turn into reality - Comment Digital Why the recent revival in interest for Info Edge and Just Dial stocks looks a tad out of place In the backdrop of lacklustre results, the recent revival in interest for Info Edge and Just Dial stocks looks a tad out of place Looking for like-minded folks?
