Telangana Speaker rules there is no defection of the 10 MLAs from BRS to Congress. Is he impartial, or some politics?
Panchayat elections in Telangana. Non-party basis. With only 29%, not 42%, reservation for BCs. 12702/12728 GPs went for polls. Congress candidates win majority Sarpanch positions, followed by BRS and BJP is far away. Ditto in wards. There will be elections for territorial councils in mandals, and in district/zilla parishads soon, may be on party-basis. They may show the same trend. We hear, BJP and BRS are coming together in some manner. May have an alliance; BRS may merge into BJP; or BRS members into BJP. By the time of Assembly elections in 2028/29.
Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. A massive door-to-door exercise in 2025 across states like Bihar, West Bengal, UP, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu etc., to update voter lists by adding eligible voters and removing ineligible ones. While it was completed in Bihar before Assembly elections, it is going on in other states. Updated lists are published for the public to get back. Net and net 10-20% voters number decreased. Hope no genuine voters go out of lists; no duplicate entries of voters. Let us wait for final updated lists in these 12 states. Let us also hope this would be done across all states soon. It may be noted that this revision is not really so special, as it is regularly done once in 5-10 years.

There are no situations exactly similar. It is more so in raising resources – people, communities, teams, partners and funds. In these various situations, nuanced situations, leadership leads. If it does not, it is a tragedy for the organization, mission, programme, or project. Leadership has to be aspirational. Towards vision/mission, growth, progress, performance, abundance, confidence, influence, culture, hope, faith, promise, love et al. Then the members, people follow. Internally, externally, in the partnerships. In scaling deep. In scaling up. And importantly scaling out geographically and related/unrelated domains, themes. Can we build ‘leaderships’? Our due. Now.
Yes, we can. If we coexist, flowing. Servant leaders. Together. In N? viswasevayoga for 7L.
