  • (GSM2) Separation of powers: Union government’s “Liberalized and Accelerated National Covid-19 Vaccination Strategy” came into force on May 1. It provides that
    • 1) vaccine manufacturers would sell 50% of their monthly production to Union & sell remaining 50% to entities тАЬother than Union Government” i.e., state governments & private hospitals- Which will be given to 18-44-years age group.
    • 2) Two set of different prices for Centre and states. Aldo union government has made informal consultations with vaccine manufacturers to ensure that price remains the same for Union and State Government
    • 3) Beneficiaries need not pay the price because state governments have declared that they will give it free of cost. Supreme Court case going on against this Policy.
    • So, Union Government’s stand: 1) Our vaccination policy had been framed to ensure equitable distribution, with the limited availability of vaccines. 2) policy was тАЬjust, equitable, non-discriminatory”. 3) тАЬpolicy conforms to mandate of Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution of India and is made after several rounds of consultation and discussion with experts, State Government and vaccine manufacturers 4) policy requires no interference by SC as while dealing with a pandemic of this magnitude, the Executive does have a room for free play in the joints, in larger public interest.

  • Constitution: If a person becomes minister but not yet elected to either upper/lower house of the respective Union or state Legislature then he/she must do so within 6 months. Such by-election to the vacancies in Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha must be held within a reasonable period of time. Representation of peoples act Section 153: By election must be held within six months from the vacancy. However some discretion / compulsion to Election Commission of India such as
    • 1) IF state government recommends to ECI to hold by-election earlier, then ECI Needs to take cognizance.
    • 2) if a person elected as leader of the biggest Legislature Party in the Assembly is yet to become an MLA, he or she can write to the EC, announcing his intention to contest from a vacant seat. A colleague can resign from a seat to facilitate the election. In this case also ECI Needs to take cognizance.
    • 3) But by-election can be delayed if the electoral rolls are not updated.
    • 4) Different court different orders: Kerala HC ordered election for Rajya Sabha while Madras HC saying ECI should be charged with murder case. So it remains to be seen how Election Commission approaches the case of W.Bengal CM Mamta Banerjee’s election within 6 months.

  • Age of politicians: When a person became PM/President What was his age? USA-Barack Obama 47. UK David Cameron was 43. Canada Justin Trudeau 44. Modi- 64 (2014, first term). So while India has median age of 26, but PM/CM is mostly above 60 age. For the last 20 years, the average age of Lok Sabha MPs has always been above 50. According to Census 2011, around 11 per cent of the Indian population comes in the age bracket of 25-30. But, in Lok Sabha 2019, hardly 1.5 per cent MPs came in 25-30 age group. Younger PM/CM/leaders required to bring about change in a faster manner attuned to the value system of the younger generation – with respect to gender / women reservation, LGBT, caste, religion politics. рд╡рд┐рдХрд╕рд┐рдд рджреЗрд╢реЛрдВ рдореЗрдВ рдкреНрд░рд╛рдпрдГ рдЙрдирдХреЗ рдкреНрд░рдзрд╛рдирдордВрддреНрд░реА рдФрд░ рд░рд╛рд╖реНрдЯреНрд░рдкрддрд┐ 50 рд╕реЗ рдХрдо рдЙрдореНрд░ рдХреЗ рд╣реЛрддреЗ рд╣реИрдВ рдЬрдмрдХрд┐ рднрд╛рд░рдд рдореЗрдВ рд╣рд╛рд▓рд╛рдВрдХрд┐ рдЬреНрдпрд╛рджрд╛рддрд░ рдЖрдмрд╛рджреА рдиреМрдЬрд╡рд╛рди рд╣реИ рдХрд┐рдВрддреБ рдореБрдЦреНрдпрдордВрддреНрд░реА, рдкреНрд░рдзрд╛рдирдордВрддреНрд░реА, рд░рд╛рд╖реНрдЯреНрд░рдкрддрд┐ рдХреА рдЙрдореНрд░ рд╕рд╛рдорд╛рдиреНрдп рд░реВрдк рд╕реЗ 60 рд╕рд╛рд▓ рд╕реЗ рдКрдкрд░ рдХреА рд╣реЛрддреА рд╣реИ. рдРрд╕реЗ рдмреБрдЬреБрд░реНрдЧреЛрдВ /рдкреБрд░рд╛рдиреА рдкреАрдврд╝реА рдХреЗ рдиреЗрддрд╛рдУрдВ рдХреА рдореВрд▓реНрдп рд╡реНрдпрд╡рд╕реНрдерд╛ рдиреМрдЬрд╡рд╛рди рдкреАрдврд╝реА рд╕реЗ рдЕрд▓рдЧ рд╣реЛрддреА рд╣реИ рдЕрддрдГ рд╡рд┐рд╡рд┐рдз рдореБрджреНрджреЛрдВ рдкрд░ рд░рд╛рдЬрдиреАрддрд┐ рдЕрд▓рдЧ рдХрд┐рд╕рдо рд╕реЗ рдЪрд▓рддреА рд░рд╣рддреА рд╣реИ.

But, finance minister has rejected the demand saying if GST =0% then Vaccine manufacturer will not get input tax credit (ITC), Then he will increase the price of the final product and it will increase the price burden on the customer /Patient. рд╡реИрдХреНрд╕реАрди рдкрд░ рдЕрдЧрд░ рд╡рд╕реНрддреБ рдПрд╡рдВ рд╕реЗрд╡рд╛ рдХрд░ рдХреЛ рд╢реВрдиреНрдп рдХрд░ рджрд┐рдпрд╛ рдЧрдпрд╛ рддреЛ рд╡реИрдХреНрд╕реАрди рдмрдирд╛рдиреЗ рд╡рд╛рд▓реА рдХрдВрдкрдиреА рдХреЛ рдЗрдирдкреБрдЯ рдЯреИрдХреНрд╕ рдХреНрд░реЗрдбрд┐рдЯ рдирд╣реАрдВ рдорд┐рд▓реЗрдЧрд╛ рддреЛ рдЕрд╕рд▓ рдореЗрдВ рд╡рд╣ рд╡реИрдХреНрд╕реАрди рдХреЛ рдЧреНрд░рд╛рд╣рдХреЛрдВ рдХреЗ рд▓рд┐рдП рдорд╣рдВрдЧрд╛ рдХрд░ рджреЗрдЧреА рдЗрд╕рд▓рд┐рдП рд╡рд┐рддреНрдд рдордВрддреНрд░рд╛рд▓рдп рд╡реИрдХреНрд╕реАрди рдкрд░ рд╕реЗ рдЬреАрдПрд╕рдЯреА рд╣рдЯрд╛рдиреЗ рдХреЗ рд╣рдХ рдореЗрдВ рдирд╣реАрдВ рд╣реИ
  • 5G or fifth generation is the latest upgrade in the long-term evolution (LTE) mobile broadband networks. 5Gmainlyworks in 3 bands- namely low, mid and high frequency spectrum.
    • 1) The low band spectrum has a large coverage area but it has limited speed.
    • 2) The mid-band spectrum offers higher speeds compared to the low band, but coverage area and penetration of signals is weak.
    • 3) The high-band spectrum offers the highest speed of all the three bands, but has extremely limited coverage and signal penetration strength.
    • 4) The Department of Telecom decided to defer the auction of 5G spectrum because presently telecom companies do not have enough money / profit to bid high amounts. So even if the spectrum is auctioned, the government is unlikely to get good amount of money.
  • Cryptocurrency Mania & Social media: billionaire Elon Musk had been making tweets about Dogecoin Cryptocurrency. So many people went crazy about it and started purchasing it at very high prices resulting in price rise by 16,000% in 2020. Now 2021- billionaire Elon Musk, appearing on тАЬSaturday Night Live comedy showтАЭ said “Dogecoin is a hustle” [“Hustling”‘ is a word associated with cheating and defrauding in sales through fake claims.] Immediately after the telecast of this comedy show, Price of Dogecoin (against dollar) fell by nearly 30%. Lesson? People are losing hard earned savings in the social media fuelled craze for cryptocurrencies. Corona led job loss making them invest in such risky manner. Cryptocurrencies are not backed by any hard assets like Oil or Gold.

  • NEPOTISM Gang: A CONTROVERSY in Uttarakhand over BJP MLA’s 25- year-old son getting the anti coronavirus vaccine despite the fact that inoculation of people in his age group is yet to begin in the state. Although his MLA father maintains that my son is a Corona front line Warrior so he got the vaccine. Points to consider: News of favouritism / nepotism increases the cynicism of the public towards politicians and civil servants, And makes people more inclined towards engaging in corruption thinking that without corruption it is not possible to get anything done. рд╡рд┐рдзрд╛рдпрдХ рдХреЗ рдмреЗрдЯреЗ рдХреЛ рднрд╛рдИ рднрддреАрдЬрд╛рд╡рд╛рдж рдХреЗ рдЪрд▓рддреЗ рд╕рдордп рд╕реЗ рдкрд╣рд▓реЗ рдЯреАрдХрд╛рдХрд░рдг рдорд┐рд▓ рдЧрдпрд╛. рдРрд╕реА рдШрдЯрдирд╛рдПрдВ рдкреНрд░рдХрд╛рд╢ рдореЗрдВ рдЖрддреА рд╣реИрдВ рддреЛ рд▓реЛрдЧреЛрдВ рдХрд╛ рдиреЗрддрд╛рдУрдВ рддрдерд╛ рд╕рд░рдХрд╛рд░реА рдмрд╛рдмреВ рд╕реЗ рд╡рд┐рд╢реНрд╡рд╛рд╕ рдХрдо рд╣реЛрддрд╛ рд╣реИ, рдФрд░ рдЬрдирддрд╛ рдпрд╣ рд╕реЛрдЪрдиреЗ рд▓рдЧрддреА рд╣реИ рдХрд┐ рдХреЛрдИ рднреА рдХрд╛рдо рдмрд┐рдирд╛ рд░рд┐рд╢реНрд╡рдд рдпрд╛ рд╕рд┐рдлрд╛рд░рд┐рд╢ рдХреЗ рдирд╣реАрдВ рд╣реЛрддрд╛ рд╣реИ, рдЗрд╕рд▓рд┐рдП рд╡реЗ рдмрд┐рдирд╛ рд╡рд┐рд░реЛрдз рдХрд┐рдП рдЦреБрдж рднреА рд░рд┐рд╢реНрд╡рдд рдФрд░ рд╕рд┐рдлрд╛рд░рд┐рд╢ рдХреА рдлрд┐рд░рд╛рдХ рдореЗрдВ рд▓рдЧреЗ рд░рд╣рддреЗ рд╣реИрдВ.

When society has become so morally degraded, Where even dead bodies are not respected, it is difficult to expect ethical behaviour from the living- family/parents, teachers, society & Government all not fulfilled their responsibilities. рдЙрддреНрддрд░ рдкреНрд░рджреЗрд╢ рдореЗрдВ рдореГрдд рд╡реНрдпрдХреНрддрд┐рдпреЛрдВ рдХреЗ рдХрдкрдбрд╝реЗ рдХрдлрди рдФрд░ рдЪреАрдЬ рд╡рд╕реНрддреБрдУрдВ рдХреЛ рдХрдмреНрд░рд┐рд╕реНрддрд╛рди рдореЗрдВ рд╕реЗ рд╣реБрдИ рдЪреЛрд░реА рдХрд░рдХреЗ рдмреЗрдЪрд╛ рдЬрд╛ рд░рд╣рд╛ рдерд╛. рдЬрдм рдХрд┐рд╕реА рд╕рдорд╛рдЬ рдХрд╛ рдЗрд╕ рд╕реНрддрд░ рддрдХ рдиреИрддрд┐рдХ рдкрддрди рд╣реЛ рдЪреБрдХрд╛ рд╣реЛ рдХреА рдореГрдд рд╢рд░реАрд░реЛрдВ рдХреА рднреА рдЧрд░рд┐рдорд╛ рдХрд╛ рд╕рдореНрдорд╛рди рдирд╣реАрдВ рдХрд┐рдпрд╛ рдЬрд╛рддрд╛ рддреЛ, рдЙрдзрд░ рдХреНрдпрд╛ рд╣реА рдиреАрддрд┐рдорддреНрддрд╛ рдФрд░ рдЗрдорд╛рдирджрд╛рд░реА рдХреА рдЙрдореНрдореАрдж рд░рдЦреА рдЬрд╛рдП- рдЬрдм рдкрд░рд┐рд╡рд╛рд░, рд╢рд┐рдХреНрд╖рдХ, рд╕рдорд╛рдЬ, рд╕рд░рдХрд╛рд░ рдЕрдкрдиреА рдЬрд┐рдореНрдореЗрджрд╛рд░рд┐рдпрд╛рдВ рднреВрд▓ рдЧрдП рд╣реИрдВ рдпрд╛ рдЪреВрдХ рдЧрдП рд╣реИрдВ.
  • State denialism: In corona wave 2.0: UP is witnessing oxygen / Ventilator/Hospital bed/Medicine shortage. However, chief minister Yogi Adityanath asserted that there is no shortage of oxygen in any private or public COVID hospital in Uttar Pradesh. He asked officials to take action under the National Security Act and the Gangsters Act against тАЬanti-social elementsтАЭ who spread тАЬrumoursтАЭ and propaganda on social media and try to тАЬspoil the atmosphereтАЭ. 2017: Children had died in hospital due to oxygen shortage at that time to there was State Denialism. Lesson? Epidemic diseases are not random events that afflict societies capriciously and without warning.
