SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence POLITICAL ECONOMY | PART 1: THE TELECOM TEST The Sangh’s Costliest Blunder: Keeping Narendra Modi in the Chair After Demonetisation and a Trail of U-Turns Two private giants, one state-propped survivor, roughly ₹3.22 lakh crore in announced BSNL revival and support packages (spectrum allocation included), and ₹1.41 lakh crore of AGR dues still on the books: telecom shows what happens when one man’s brand becomes the party’s only policy. This is an argument against Narendra Modi, not against the BJP. SYNOPSIS India’s telecom market has narrowed from a messy but real plurality into two dominant private networks, one weak private survivor kept alive by government equity, and a public operator that has needed about ₹3.22 lakh crore in announced support packages and spectrum allocations, not all of it cash.

Expose BJP's 'obstructionist' parliamentary tactics: Sonia to Congress MPs
At this hour we cannot afford such an irresponsible behaviour from the opposition.....!! NDA  & its allies should Introspect...!!
NEW DELHI: Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Thursday met a group of party MPs and agreed with their view that the party should not be defensive about the BJP's demand for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's resignation over the government auditors' report on coal allocation, one of the MPs said.
Gandhi agreed that the Congress should expose the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) "obstructionist" parliamentary tactics, said the MP, demanding that he not be named.
The group, which had mainly young Congress MPs, met Gandhi soon after the Lok Sabha witnessed its first adjournment over the BJP's demand and conveyed their anguish at repeated stalling of Parliament's proceedings over the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report.
"We met her to convey our viewpoint about how Parliament is functioning. We told her that BJP was doing a disservice which should be taken to people," the party MP said later.
Gandhi nodded in agreement with what they told her, the MP said.
The MPs told Gandhi that the BJP's tactics can lead to "chaotic situation" and all its demands cannot be accepted. They said situation had to be viewed for the "country as a whole" and not from perspective of a party.
The MPs said they wanted a discussion in Parliament on the CAG report.
The MPs who met Gandhi included Sanjay Nirupam, Sandeep Dikshit, Jyoti Mirdha, Deepender Hooda and Annu Tandon.
Parliament was adjourned for the the third day on Thursday over the BJP's demand for the Prime Minister's resignation.
