Delhi Confidential: Yoga Message

While Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead the International Yoga Day celebrations at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City on June 21, Union Tourism Minister G Kishan Reddy and Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant will lead around 20 foreign ministers, who are expected to be in India on the day, for a special yoga session at the Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium in Goa. While yoga sessions have been part of all the G20 working group meetings across the country so far, this time will be special as it coincides with the International Day of Yoga.

On The Backfoot

After its defeat in Karnataka, the BJP appears to be struggling to get on its feet as an opposition party in the state. Many in the central leadership say that the BJP is yet to get credible voices from its Karnataka unit to ensure that the party acts as an aggressive opposition against the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in the state. While the Congress has accused the Centre of “conspiring” to derail its poll promises by stopping the sale of rice and wheat under the central pool, the state BJP’s defence has been weak, party leaders said, adding that the BJP is yet to get a leader with gravitas to take on the Congress government. Not only in the elections, veteran B S Yeddiyurappa is being missed by the BJP even now as an opposition party. The party leadership is now determined to zero in some leaders who would be trained to put up an aggressive face in Karnataka.
