Ip Bajpai

What do you look for on November 9 morning? If the silent majority that the Democrats hope for come out, then there could be tight Senate races in North Carolina and Ohio. If the Republicans win in New Hampshire, then Biden is in deep trouble.

With just 2 per cent of the road length, National Highways account for almost 37 per cent of all road deaths.

'Agnipath' has certainly lived up to its name. It has ignited flames of discontent among India's youth much like the agitation over farm laws.

If you thought that after the humiliation of 2019, Congress would push to win the next rounds, you are wrong. They failed in Haryana, they did badly in Maharashtra, they were blown away in Assam.

Punjab is a state where the BJP hasn't mattered much, and the Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) matter a lot.

Our little village in Goa is very quiet, full of nature sounds - birds chirping, dogs barking. The only manmade sounds are church bells at dawn, the honk of the pohawallah, the fishwallah, and the occasional two-wheeler passing by.

Uttar Pradesh, Amit Shah has said, will decide the fate of the country. The first phase in UP's richest and most developed region, lying between the great rivers Ganga and Yamuna, could decide the fate of UP.

For the average Anil, there was nothing. No tax relief, no change in tax rates and no suggestion that there would be some in the future.

If you look at the pink newspapers, you would believe the budget is like Christmas and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is Santa Claus.

Did the Health Ministry pull the wool over the eyes of the Election Commission last Thursday (January 6) when the commissioners went for a briefing?

The party is over. Covid is back with a bang and we could be getting into a worse outbreak than summer this year.

The Biden Presidential pregnancy lasted the full term of nine months and 16 days. It gave birth to a lame duck.

Vaccination and curbs are not going to stop breakthrough cases as no vaccine is 100% effective, but almost all of them, when fully vaccinated, provide very high levels of protection from severe illness and death.

While planning for the third wave, and may be a fourth, we need properly-formulated guidelines that trigger local restrictions without the long political infighting and fear of economic downturn.

Should the BJP begin to panic now on account of the panchayat election results in Uttar Pradesh? Has the Covid bug finally bitten the voters in India's most-populous state?
