Corbyn calling for fresh polls in Britain to presser on Delhi's safety claim

Corbyn calling for fresh polls in Britain to presser on Delhi's safety claim

Britain's Opposition leader Corbyn has called for polls to end the Brexit impasse and be able to chase the imposing goals. PM Theresa May is still the best bet for UK and still a yes vote on Brexit deal in Parliament could be OK. UK is supposed to leave EU by March 29 something that looks to be fine. British Parliament need to approve Brexit deal before that as it will bring in a measure of stability without any crack. On another firmament the ruling party BJP in New Delhi is holding a two day meet to discuss the poll strategy and which all parties it would like to sit and greet. At the heart of discussion would be how to win back its traditional support base at a time when Cong managers seem keen to tie their lace.

After the presser on National Capital of Delhi's Safety Valve, more people began to cringe and call. Figures were out on crime and crisis unfolding in the national capital, showing a dip here and a rise there thereby suggesting the National Capital in the grip of fear which was not rare. This fear was not new and not noteworthy as it had been raised by those who had in the past worked in train pantry and went by the names of Bablu and Bunty. Rise in crime and tendency to commit crime in Delhi  were attributed to migrants and materialism, the need to become overnight cash lords was something that needed to be looked through a different prism. This presser on National Capital Crime Scene is held every year with the onset of cold and warriors in tear.

As for women and insecure surroundings they were in, from work stations to working partners all seem to be unsafe and at odd intervals chipping in. To make women safe, boys and men need to be told during their advancing age that giving respect to womenfolk would earn them handsome dividends and cake. Respect and reservoir of support for women could have a new spin if from gyms to offices to residential places they shy away from taking a drink and later cringe.

Women including migrants would feel more safe if night shift is not handed to them on a platter and they don't have to sleep out in the open against people who are not part of their known cadre. Attributing the rise in crime to migrants not getting wise, the floating population and floating hope occasionally rocked the safety boat.

The other story is on Ex PM of UK Tony Blair who was in town (New Delhi)  to make us believe he is here to provide the soothing touch and care. Away from Britain landing in a capital of claim, Tony's words don't mean much and his advice at home make some grudge. Giving so much coverage to Tony's itinerary and views can't be forgiven without giving an excuse.

The CSO (Central Statistics Office) has given an estimate for India's GDP to grow at 7.2 per cent this fiscal, a target that should not worry the govt of the day to tackle. With Quota Bill passed by Indian Parliament the focus has shifted to President and his time to give assent. The Quota Bill provides for 10 per cent reservation for people coming under Economically Weaker Sections and with this move the ruling party wants to seal the fate of opposition which wants a one more chance to cruise.

Mr Shekhar Gupta's piece on Hampi and how modern day invaders have burnt holes to the World Heritage Site showed the urgent need to increase the budget meant for its upkeep. From Tungabhadra river to Virupaksha temple Mr Gupta essayed a thought or two on them and if immediate measures are set in Hampi could still be a tourist gem.

Away in North America in Capitol Hill the President stormed out of a meeting with Democrats over the issue of funding a border wall. With his temper running high, it was appropriate for the President to take a flight and fly. The Government Shutdown having entered the fourth week with picture by no means looking rosy and mirroring bleak. The Govt Shutdown has literally meant shutdown of economy and this often reminds one of the path that would have been taken by Mr Mitt Romney to break the shackles and get the govt on a long journey.

To chase 288 was a tall order and to get past that total it needed a stable innings and a sturdy ladder. Much has been made of a test series win as if it will make followers of cricket game for decades grin. These one dayers can well make them cringe and can well take away the mantle of a King.
