Apart from the conventional drought belts such as North Karnataka threat of famine looms large in other parts of the state as well.

Maharashtra government is planning to commemorate Gandhiji on his 150th birth anniversary in a very special way. The government has planned to initiate door delivery of alcohol soon. Excise minister has even issued a statement in this regard. Maharashtra will have the rare distinction of having started something so exquisite among civil services for the first time in the nation. Chief minister Fadnavis has decided to launch this since he does not have anything novel to impress upon people. He has even given a humanitarian reason to his decision. He says that have been many accidents involving drunk people in the recent times. Hence this measure would help check the number of those accidents. Because alcohol has been the main culprit in many incidents.

As expected MJ Akbar has refuted all allegations against him and said he will not resign from his post of union minister. For the moment even Congress is set aside the Rafael scandal and is hell bent upon seeking Akbar's resignation. One cannot rule of the chances of Modi seeking Akbar's resignation to indicate that he cares for the women of India. MJ Akbar is not great asset to BJP. He does not even represent the party with its full values and ideals. He has always been an opportunist who has remained in power since a long time across governments. He has used the same strategy to bag a plum position in BJP trading whatever little loyalty he can claim to have. He has nothing to lose except for that post.

There are certain parameters for news items like rape and harassments to be considered as newsworthy in the media. The incident should have happened in Delhi or some part of north India. Victims must be from upper middleclass and if they work in IT or BT it’d be even better. The news would get even more prominence if the survivors are working and belong to upper caste.

The last state assembly election had thrown up unexpected results. Some of the important ones on that are Siddaramaiah's charisma losing its charm, BJP getting highest number of seats and HDK becoming the CM even with least seats in the assembly.Even BSP which had entered into an agreement with JDS bagged a seat. Most respected and adored Dalit leader from Kollegal N Mahesh was elected. This is a major milestone for BSP which barely had any presence in the state. The party was excited about one of their own candidates becoming a Minister. This could have been a major opportunity for the party to create a base for itself in the state.

Narendra Modi government came into power assuring generation of two crore jobs. It has been more than four and a half years ever since, and even twenty lakh jobs were not generated in these many years, annually.

The comic staging of sweeping the roads on the occasion of 150th commemoration of Gandhi Jayanthi. Modiji pretended to sweep the road himself and tried creating awareness among people.

Election commission has declared elections in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, along with three Lok Sabha constituencies in Karnataka. Mandya, Ballari and Shivamogga districts will have to face an unexpected election before they go to polls again in the next five months owing to this decision. The elected representative will last for a term of only a few months before the new one is chosen. Isn’t this a little expensive to use resources just so that the whole process has to be repeated again? As per the EC, three Lok Sabha seats have been lying vacant since the last few months so conducting the election is inevitable. But the question that arises right now is the usefulness of a candidate who’d be elected for a matter of few months.
