Ayodhya, for which this will be a historic Lok Sabha election being held after the inauguration of the Ram temple, caste and convenience matters are seen to be competing with the temple tide. BJP MP Lallu Singh is eyeing his third consecutive term from the seat, but it's the fielding of nine-time Dalit SP MLA from Sohawal and Milkipur constituencies Awadhesh Prasad, 78, which has made the contest a keen one with Dalits forming the largest singular voting bloc in the seat, likely to be aided by the prominent Muslim and Yadav population. However, the CPIM has also fielded Arvindsen Yadav, son of popular MP from Ayodhya, Mitrasen Yadav, who had represented CPI, SP and BSP in his three different tenures from the seat, and he could dent the SP's prospects. BSP has fielded Sacchidanand Pandey who could also complicate matters. PM Narendra Modi had held a roadshow here earlier this month. Talking about the entire population of the district, Faizabad, renamed as Ayodhya (but remains Faizabad Lok Sabha in EC registers) 'Ramrajya' is still many, many years away. One gets a sense of which direction the wind is blowing politically, depending on where one asks.

business strategies that involve imports of crucial raw materials and machinery from China. Last week, S Jaishankar obliquely questioned the patriotism of firms that source material from China that could be bought or manufactured locally. 'If peace and tranquillity in border areas are disturbed, would you do business with someone who has just barged into your drawing room and is trying to make a mess of your house fencing? It's common sense that if a country has gone back on written agreements and is doing something on our borders, how can we then say that the business world will continue as normal and other things won't,' the foreign minister said at the CII annual business summit in New Delhi last Friday. The timing of this statement is significant for two reasons. One, it comes just 17 days before EC is due to announce the results of the ongoing parliamentary elections that will lead to the formation of the next government. Two, China has just emerged as India's biggest trading partner surpassing the US, according to figures released by Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI).

elections starting from 1951, turnout went past 60% only on seven occasions, of which the 65% mark was crossed only in 2014 and 2019. For all the attention to 'declining' turnout, the first four phases of the ongoing polls have registered a score of 66.95%. In absolute numbers, 451 mn people have voted so far. Postal ballots will add up on counting day. If this rate is maintained in the remaining three phases after today, 2024 could become only the third general election to get past 65%. Globally speaking, this turnout level measures in the top half of countries having democratic elections. Phase 1 turnout has been 66.14%, which moved to 66.71% in phase 2 and 65.68% in phase 3. In the fourth phase, it nudged past the 2019 count with 69.2%, also indicating an incremental rise phase after phase. Everyone who has interest in the game appears to have pushed the envelope a bit after the initial phases.

Patanjali found itself under the scanner of regulatory bodies and Supreme Court in the context of dodgy advertising practices. Welcome as this development was, the ayurvedic major is hardly alone in stretching the truth when it comes to advertising. While regulatory authorities must ensure that advertising adheres to ethical standards and doesn't mislead consumers, such scrutiny should be applied across the board. Every label coming out from FMCG, nutraceutical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and wellness sectors must be properly checked by regulators. In this context, Supreme Court rightly pulled up the Indian Medical Association (IMA) last week for not taking action against Patanjali on complaints for the company's alleged 'misleading' claims and 'disparaging' ads against the allopathic system of medicine. Regulatory bodies should ensure that consumer goods are not allowed to introduce or sell their products in the market where the consumer assumes that products match what they are sold as — and, more importantly, that they are not sold as what they are not, especially by making disparaging comparisons.

Ayodhya gears up to vote for the first time after the Ram temple consecration, Muslim voters in the pilgrim town say «mandir-masjid» (temple-mosque) is not an issue for them and employment and development are their primary concerns.

But people want health and education facilities and security,» Ansari told PTI. «The BJP has done good work in Ayodhya and hence it should get the due credit. The BJP has an edge here. Though I do not have much interest in elections, I will definitely cast my vote on polling day,» he said.
