#ExpressOpinion | Urban voters appear increasingly willing to judge individual candidates on credibility, accessibility and performance rather than party identity alone. Prashant Kishor's campaign attempted to capitalise on this shift by focusing less on traditional electoral arithmetic and more on governance, accountability and public services

#ExpressOpinion | These days, it has become the norm for government ministers, civil servants, or recently retired decision-makers to write about their departments with impressive expertise. They will outline lofty goals, even share citizens' concerns. But the one thing missing in all that writing is the fixing of accountability

#ExpressOpinion | 2 secrets shared with this writer by 2 CMs, 1 from BJP and the other from the Congress, give a sense of the dilemmas they face, and the political tightrope they walk. While the identity of the CMs and the states they represent is not pertinent, the message these secret anecdotes deliver is important. It shows just how serious a problem the two CMs face — on the political and fiscal front.

#ExpressOpinion | "For the past 10 years, Maharashtra’s politics has been on a cusp: As it pursued its aim to emerge as the only dominant pole, the BJP not only decimated its national competitor — the Congress party — but also wiped out regional space. Ajit Pawar’s tragic death has ensured that politics in the state will become more contingent and unpredictable."

#ExpressOpinion | "It is not only its substantial size that gives the urban population an increasing influence in the national scenario. It is the adoption of the urban as an ideal that gives the city its surging power."

#ExpressOpinion | "India’s civilisation has never been monolithic. It is a tapestry woven from countless threads — Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, tribal, secular, Western and Indic. To reduce this vast mosaic to a binary struggle between Hindus and Muslims is to betray the very essence of our civilisation."
