MCD By-Elections: BJP Questions AAP’s Candidate List — Here’s the Full Story

New Delhi: The Delhi BJP has raised serious objections to the list of candidates announced by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) by-elections. BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor alleged that AAP has violated norms and displayed hypocrisy in its candidate selection. According to Kapoor, AAP has fielded Keshav Chauhan, a male candidate, from Dhichkaun Kalan, a ward reserved for women. “This is a blatant disregard of election rules. It seems AAP initially intended to nominate Chauhan’s wife but ended up declaring his name instead. This exposes the real face of the party that often accuses others of nepotism,” he said. The BJP leader also pointed out that AAP’s candidate from Vinod Nagar, Geeta Rawat, is a former councillor who was once j...

Bihar Elections: Why the Drop in Unemployment Isn’t as Real as It Looks

Patna: As Bihar heads into the final phase of its Assembly elections on November 11, one crucial issue seems to have quietly slipped out of political conversations — unemployment. The ruling alliance proudly claims that the state’s unemployment rate has dropped sharply — from 8% in 2017–18 to just 3% in 2023–24. But a closer look reveals a more complicated truth: the fall in numbers doesn’t necessarily mean more real jobs. According to government data, youth unemployment also followed a similar trend — it declined from 31% in 2018–19 to 4.3% in 2022–23, but has since risen again to nearly 16%. So why, despite a statistical decline in unemployment, does Bihar still not feel the improvement on the ground? A Decline That’s Not a Relief At first glance, the figures appear encouraging....
