BJP seems to have opted for two different strategies to deal with Jats, one of the politically powerful communities and a tricky vote segment in north India for political parties. While BJP would try to consolidate Jat votes in Uttar Pradesh, it expects to reap the benefit from the community's vote division in Haryana. In recent weeks, Jat politics has seen Jayant Chaudhary-led RLD dumping its alliance with SP and aligning with BJP in Uttar Pradesh. However, BJP did not hesitate to easily break its alliance with JJP, a party like RLD in Haryana. While BJP shared two seats with RLD, including Baghpat which it won last time, it was not willing to accommodate an ally of over last four years, JJP, in the neighbouring state by giving it two Lok Sabha seats which it was seeking. BJP insiders attribute the different approach to the different political dynamics in the states. In Western UP, Muslims are expected to vote against BJP and by poaching RLD from SP-Congress alliance, BJP hopes to insure itself from the threat of losing the belt. However, in Haryana, some internal surveys conducted by BJP show that a section of Jat voters, in the aftermath of farmers' and wrestlers' protests, would move back to Congress, whose tallest leader in the state is BS Hooda, who hails from the community.

Reserve Bank of India's liquidity stance has not convinced several experts, including even a member of the Monetary Policy Committee. What is it that the RBI is doing with liquidity, and why is it affecting the market. ET explains: What is the RBI’s approach towards liquidity management? The central bank follows a “corridor” liquidity management system – with a ceiling and a floor rate – where the repo rate--the rate at which the RBI injects liquidity--is the policy rate which acts as the ceiling for the corridor, while the reverse repo rate works as the floor of the corridor. The ideal situation is one where call rates move within this corridor which the central bank ensures through its liquidity adjustment facility (LAF). The operating framework of monetary policy aims at aligning the weighted average call rate (WACR) with the policy repo rate through proactive liquidity management to facilitate transmission of repo rate changes through the entire financial system. How does this work? Banks try to borrow their shortfall of reserves from the inter-bank market. If reserve requirements like cash reserve ratio and statutory liquidity ratio cannot be met in the inter-bank market, then banks borrow funds from the RBI under LAF. If banks are net borrowers under LAF, the system liquidity can be said to be in deficit. Conversely, if banks deposit more than the reserve requirement, then it becomes a net lender to RBI, and the system liquidity can be said to be in surplus.
