Ahead of the 2019 state and general elections, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray laid down the party’s poll plan, with stress on Hindutva, in the annual on Dussehra rally at Shivaji Park in Dadar. For Shiv Sena which was founded in 1966, the rally at Shivaji Park in Mumbai’s Dadar is a high-profile event. It is also a platform from which the Shiv Sena broadcast its views on the current political situation and had provided leads to its cadres which was about 5 lakh workers that gathered there from all over Maharashtra.

Prime Minister narendra modi, in his first few years in office, when he cited his naseeb, his luck, was the reason why the oil prices had fallen to tremendous low, and helping India balance its current account deficit, well it seems like the Modi's naseeb has changed and has taken a roller-coaster ride. The oil prices, which were as low as $43 a barrel in 2015, are now above $80 and the rates are going above $100 a barrel again. Now the irony of the whole matter is our 56-inches chest PM is possibly intimidated by the unites States sanctions on Iran. Iran, on the other hand is not only willing to give oil at a lower price,, but also willing to give it in Indian currency and with a 90 days credit line. accepting this offer would mean, that, the oil prices in our country will come crashing down and our country can pay less with more flexible payment terms.. But seems like the PM is scared to offend the Americans. So finally we common Indians will have to bare the brunt..

The Aligarh Muslim University on 12th of Oct issued notices to 9 Kashmiri students for allegedly trying to conduct funeral prayers on the campus following the death of PhD scholar-turned-militant Mannan Bashir Wani in North Kashmir.Later, internal security guard used mild force to disperse the crowd. Later 3 Kashmiri students of AMU were booked on sedition charges for allegedly for raising "anti-India" slogans. And one should always remember, in a democracy like India, citizens including students do have rights to lodge their disagreements against any issue.. but performing funeral of an alleged terrorist, and mainly within the campus just because he belongs to their same community this is Sad.

If one explanation has to be given for the BJP's electoral madness in the Hindi heartland and nearby states, it is their arrogance.At times, this arrogrance seems to be more of a frustration. This is such a shameful matter, that the core lawmakers of our country behave such unmannerly. With only 276 seats we can see such arrogance within our ruling government. Now the question is if this same BJP gets 300+ seats imagine the kind of arrogance they will have. This will reach to such a zenith that one day they will ensure that no body enters the parliament or worse they might beat up the opposition rulers.. And if this continues God save the democracy of our country..

In Gujarat these days protests against the anti-migrants, especially on the UP-Bihar people, is growing more in numbers, after the alleged rape of a 14-month-old minor in Sabarkantha district last week. Thousands of migrants from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar fleeing Gujarat everyday, and the mob attacks are still going on them. Now we can see its reactions happening back in the state of Uttar Pradesh, particularly in Varanasi, which is also Prime Minister’s Parliamentary constituency. Clearly the state and the Central Government is responsible for all the ruckus that has been created. The rift within the community, the lack of employment amongst the youth and most importantly the safety and security of minors. A heinous act has been done to a 14-month-old child..And no politician is ready to talk about that. Seems like the lawmakers of our country are only concerned about the upcoming lok sabha elections and not solving the common man's problem..

Gujarat Chief Minister has proposed a new law that would make 80% local hiring mandatory for firms. Also 25 per cent quota will be part of the overall 80 per cent jobs for the residents of Gujarat. It seems like the State government and the chief minister Vijay Rupani, has found this brutal rape incident as an excuse to distract the mind of the gujaratis and using this sad incident as a shield to push their policies against the non-gujaratis here..and mostly after their poor performance in the 2017 polls, the gujarat govt has been abetting such anti-migrant policy, particularly those from UP and Bihar. The Gujarat state government that is the BJP cannot directly allege the people from UP-Bihar because it is all about vote bank politics and they wont try to risk anything ahead of the 2019 general election..Now one wonders what Narendra Modi, who is a resident of Gujarat and currently a member of parliament from Varanasi has to say now..

More than 5000 UP, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh migrants working in factories as labourers have fled to their home state, fearing violent attacks on them amidst unabated incidents of violence targeting them in north Gujarat districts.. These migrants were forced to leave the state amid fear after attacks by the angry mob over the alleged rape of a 14-month-old minor in Sabarkantha district last week. The attack on the migrants has created a sense of fear in the minds of the working class who have traveled a long distance just to earn a living. The heinous crime conducted by an individual has brought the entire community under the radar. The question is how can the entire community be responsible for an individual's act. Rather than attacking the entire community, the representatives should have come together to raise the issue of security of the minors first and not creating a rift within our society.

The index has also lost 9.6% of its value since 28 of Aug when it had reached an all time high of 38,896.63.

On this ongoing Stock market crisis we have our business and finance editor Akhilesh Bhargav who gives more details on this issue..

Over 70,000 farmers from Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Punjab and other parts of North India with a large convoy of tractors and trolleys are marching to Delhi and are scheduled to reach the Kisan ghat in the capital on 2nd of Oct.
