Highlights of India Today issue dated February 24, 2014 The Cover Story this week is a report from inside BJP PM candidate Narendra Modi’s campaign, the most audacious for the post of Prime Minister so far in India. The Special Report is on the UPA government whose second term in power is nearing its end, leaving behind a mixed bag for the Indian economy. As the Lok Sabha elections are approaching, a story in the nation section, ‘Ear to the Ground’, has interesting tidbits from the states. The Big Story is on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. It says that AAP is narrowing its sights on a new lower middle class to expand its political base. The Leisure section has a review by veteran India correspondent John Elliot who describes the Congress’s descent into chaos. The issue also has a story on expressing love in the age of apps. It says direct messaging platforms are the new crucible of romances. The India Today issue this week has three free magazines - Home, Simply Gujarati and Simply Mumbai – with it.

THE CLOUT WIELDERS
THE GLOBAL COVID PANDEMIC, which hit the world last year, not only took away the lives of millions and devastated economies, it also reorganised the political order in many regions. India was among the countries hit the hardest by the ravaging virus, yet, the political impact of Covid is still not evident. Six states went to polls since the pandemic broke out in India in March 2020—all before the second wave of Covid hit the country in early April 2021—but it was not an electoral issue during the campaigns. The political power order of the country has remained largely unchanged with the RSS-BJP ecosystem firmly entrenched at the top. While de facto Congress chief Rahul Gandhi remains the sole national voice against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government, recent political movements have seen the emergence of regional satraps as new power centres. West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee not only withstood a massive BJP campaign to dethrone her in the assembly poll earlier this year but is also now projecting herself as an alternative to Modi. In this quest, she will need the support of Maratha stalwart Sharad Pawar, who is the unofficial nerve centre of the Maharashtra government. The India Today political power list of 2021 provides a quick overview of the strongest players giving direction to the political discourse in the country.
J&K: Fear Returns To The Valley
For the past fortnight, a Kashmiri Pandit social activist in Srinagar (name withheld for security concerns) has been living under police protection. A posse of policemen knocked on his door around midnight on October 5 and shifted him to a more secure location, a kilometre from his house. “They told me I was on the militants’ radar and needed to go with them,” he says.
