Pralhad Joshi at Idea Exchange: ‘In Kerala, preparations for the next election will start… people used to say we won’t win in Bengal, but we did’ | Idea Exchange News

Pralhad Joshi, Union Cabinet Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and New and Renewable Energy, on the BJP electoral wins in Assam and West Bengal, the impact of the US-Iran war on the renewable energy sector and his party’s stand on women’s quota and delimitation. The session was moderated by Harikishan Sharma, Senior Assistant Editor, The Indian Express. Harikishan Sharma: In the recent Assembly elections, your party did extremely well in the eastern states. What worked in your favour? As far as Assam is concerned, it was good governance. If your intentions are good, if you are here for the welfare of the people and work honestly, ultimately, this is the outcome. Just look at the Congress party. People are now questioning why they should vote for the Congress. Its arrogance has become the party’s unbecoming. In West Bengal, it was an anti-incumbency sentiment — against arrogance and harassing people, no law and order. People were really fed up. They were never allowed to vote. But this time, the administration, especially, the Election …

While the Indian teams will have another shot at the World Championships qualification, the results were disappointing from the Indian perspective. The men’s 4x400m team came closest by clocking season best timing of 3:00.32 and finishing 12th overall. The quartet of Dharmveer Choudhary, Rajesh, Ramesh, Vishal TK, and Manu TS led the race in the second and third leg but failed to close it out. Rajesh and national record holder Vishal ran their heart out in the second and third legs respectively. However, Manu’s inexperience was visible in the final leg as he got boxed in the inside lane and crossed the finish line at the fourth place. The top two teams in each of the three heats and the next two quickest advance to the finals on day two, while also securing their qualification …
