No-confidence-motion!

-
Stage is set for Lok Sabha to witness no-confidence motion against BJP on Friday. But is it going to be a tough fight for BJP? or will it be a cake walk.

It is not first time that there are requests of no-confidence motion against BJP in Lok Sabha. But all those requests were quashed by the then speaker as there was no adequate majority to succour the request.( A minimum of 50 members should render support initially). After 4 years of its ruling in the centre, the BJP is now facing a no-confidence-motion after the speaker Sushmita Mahajan accepted the request of the Vijayawada TDP MP. But numbers suggest that BJP has nothing to fear. Out of 534 votes (11 seats are currently vacant), BJP govt needs to garner 267 votes to overthrow this motion. BJP with 274 members is confident of toppling the motion as there is also support from many other prominent parties. Then why is this no-confidence-motion raised by the oppostion parties in the first place?

One obvious reason could be to highlight the  shortcomings of the BJP by Congress in sight of Elections-2k19. Though it knows that it cannot muster required votes to make the government fall, the Congress view this as a platform to flag the failures of BJP, while the entire nation is watching. This could also act as a way to prove the solidarity of the opposition parties i.e the Grand Alliance. 

BJP gets 3hrs to talk while Congress gets 38  mins to talk and present its case during the no-confidence-motion. BJP though is relaxed, are devising ways to give a strong rebuttal and planning to highlight all its achievements in its 3hr time.

Economic growth

  India’s GDP is expcted to grow at 7.2% this year after ending at mere 6.7% growth in the last fiscal year which was effected by the double whammy of “demonetization” and “Introduction of GST”. The manufacturing and construction sector is expected to pick up at a pace of around 9% growth after strangling at 6% last year. But the Central Statistics Office (CSO) is being pessimistic regarding the growth in the second half of this fiscal year. Investment spending, which has always been the aiding factor for economic growth might also be stagnant with the elections around the corner. All the hefty investments will hold back as there is an uncertainity of the  power at the centre and hence the rules imposed thereafter. The government, in an attempt to boost economic growth may dwelve into over spending on populist schemes. But it should be strictly avoided as the government has already exceeded fiscal deficit by 15%, and any further increase could only bring negative consequences...

IT sector on the move!

-
      IT sector in India is rejuvenating. Many companies like Tata Consultancy service(TCS) and infosys has registered a growth rate of 15% and 12% respectively. But it will be wrong to assume that the jobs which had taken a dip in the last 2 years, will  increase proportionately. Rewind five years and you can see a boomimg IT industry at its heyday, where the companies had witnessed huge growth rates and profits. It also helped to alleviate the perennial unemployment problem that exists in India. An average of 2.4 lakh jobs were offered every year in this sector from Finacial Year (FY) 2011-15. But this numbers took a dip in the FY 2016 with only 1.7 lakh job hirings. It further dwindled to 1 lakh in the year 2017 exacerbating the situation further. This sudden plunge over the years is because of its failure to adapt to the rapidly evolving technology. Many people predicted the situation to grow further worse, but the present scenario proves it wrong. One shoul...
