A food policy failure -
Mint
Blame it on policy mismanagement. What deserves to be good news has turned into a disturbingly embarrassing development. The country is estimated to have touched a record level of foodgrain output in fiscal 2012. The total food stock with government agencies is expected to cross 75 million tonnes (mt) by the end of the current procurement season. However, these agencies only have covered storage capacity for just about 50 mt, resulting, once again in the danger of foodgrains wasted away to the elements.

Verbatim |
 The UPA 2 government was conceived in corruption – and never really recovered from that taint. Right from the day the election results came in, the back-channel negotiations began for the reappointment of A Raja as Telecom Minister to advance the interests of certain telecom majors (in return for illegal gratification). It was an enterprise which set the stage for India’s biggest corruption scandal and virtually set the political tone for the rest of the four years. As subsequent exposes have established, Manmohan Singh and other key Ministers knew full well that mischief was afoot, but pointedly looked the other way. That was the beginning of the slide, and the UPA government in general – and Manmohan Singh in particular – was mortally wounded from that episode. But rather than press ahead with remedial action, the government slid further into the cesspool of corruption.

Split with Nitish will only boost BJP in Bihar -
K Balakrishnan, LensOnNews
WITH THE BJP seemingly decided on projecting Narendra Modi as its PM candidate and its close ally Nitish Kumar of JD(U) equally firm in his opposition to the idea, a split in the NDA alliance looks inevitable; most observers think it’s not a question of if, but when. |
