If Modi wins, will bold economic reforms follow?
Modi 3.0 would be a reality. “In the full budget in July, our government will present a detailed roadmap for our pursuit of Viksit Bharat,” she said, her emphasis falling precisely on two words — “our government”. This is possibly the first time a finance minister has exuded such confidence in presenting a vote-on-account, saying on record that the same regime would present the full budget after the elections. ALSO READ: Agenda of Modi 3.0: It will be driven by aspirations like $7 trillion GDP by 2027 The question is, if the Narendra Modi government indeed gets installed for the third time in May, and with a resounding mandate, will it embark on bold and pathbreaking economic reforms? Will the new regime be able to navigate the complexities of pending reforms requiring widespread consensus? Will it unveil radical and unexpected economic overhauls in food, fertiliser and petroleum subsidies? Will it, perhaps, discard all income-tax exemptions?

Real writers, don't write every day, wait for it, wait...
young writer is to write every day. I have always believed one should wait for an image or memory to kickstart the process. The image could be obscure — like, say, the collapsed half of an iron gate, and you squeeze through the gap, and walk down an overgrown garden to a dilapidated bungalow. One does not know why the image is pressing upon your memory. And yet, for days on end, you can't shake it off. You notice the dark, crumbly soil, moist after rain, and then you notice the feet walking upon them, wearing green and white canvas plimsolls. It is the plimsolls that stop me from procrastinating. I take out a notebook and start to write. I recognise the cautious, unsteady gait. It is me at the age of 4. I have to start writing to know where I am going. And a short story begins — one which, perhaps, could turn into a chapter for a novel. But for now, I must follow those tiny feet to see what awaits them. In a novelist or poet's life, months — in many cases, years — go by before a significant image takes hold of his or her mind. And as he or she starts to write, the aperture-setting and focal length of the image shifts, and it becomes clearer and clearer. By the end of a year or two, he or she has a newly minted poem or novel.

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale contemplates contesting LS polls from Shirdi or Solapur
Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Saturday said he was contemplating contesting from either Shirdi or Solapur seat in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and would take a final call only after discussing with the BJP high command. Speaking at a press conference here, the chief of Republican Party of India (A) said, «My party does not have a single member in Lok Sabha. I am thinking of contesting from Shirdi or Solapur. I want to come to the Lok Sabha. I will discuss this with J P Nadda, Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and decide.» Raking up the reservation issue, the Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment said, «In the beginning, 15 per cent reservation was given to SC community because their population was 15 per cent. ST was given 7.5 per cent because tribal population was 7.5 per cent. But now this population is nearly 25 per cent. Therefore, 2.5 per cent reservation should be increased to SC and ST that is the demand of many people. And, it is also my party's demand.»

Jharkhand: Discontent among Cong MLAs over portfolios; threaten to boycott assembly session

As many as 12 MLAs of the grand-old party have threatened to boycott the upcoming assembly session from February 23 and head to Jaipur if the ministers are not replaced by new faces. The JMM-led alliance in the state has 47 MLAs (JMM-29, Congress-17 and one RJD) in the 81-member assembly. Unhappy over Congress' decision to give ministerial berths to Alamgir Alam, Rameshwar Oraon, Banna Gupta and Badal Patralekh again, the legislators went into a huddle at Ranchi Circuit House just before the swearing-in ceremony on Friday with plans of boycotting it.
