Constructive opposition

• This refers to ‘The other agenda’. The BJP’s recent two-day summit has presented itself as a “party of differences” rather than a “party with a difference.” The BJP has its work cut out if it desires to win back people’s support and confidence. This can be achieved easily and wisely — the BJP should use its time and responsibility in the opposition judiciously.

On the march

• Saina Nehwal should be congratulated for her remarkable performance at the Indonesian Open. Watching her play has been a thrilling experience and a new epoch in Indian badminton may have begun thanks to her. Furthermore, she has the capacity to lead India to victory at the upcoming games in Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur.

Rain must fall

• With no rain in sight and the dearth of monsoon clearly visible now, the Indian economy might be in for serious trouble in the days ahead. There is a global recession on and our economy is still heavily dependent on agriculture. If agriculture is adversely affected, there could even be a foodgrains crisis and a famine.
