Rishi Sunak scores as UK vote winner over Boris Johnson in new survey

[ad_1]
London: British Prime Minster Rishi Sunak is seen as more trustworthy, more economically competent and more likely to win votes than his former boss, Boris Johnson, in a new survey of voting intentions that was released on Saturday.
The Savanta ComRes survey for The Independent’ newspaper found that Johnson’s perceived popularity as the Conservative Party leader who won a big mandate in the 2019 general election does not necessarily translate among British voters ahead of the next polls expected in 2024.
The survey finds that 63 percent are opposed to Johnson, 58, trying to lead the country again with only 24 percent in favour of the idea.
At the same time, around 41 percent of voters believe Sunak, 42, can “improve” the reputation of the Tory party, with only 19 percent saying the same of Johnson.
“The former Prime Minister’s backers believe he has electoral magic’ but the results show that Mr Sunak is deemed more trustworthy, more economically competent and more likely to win their vote,” the survey findings in the newspaper reveal.
“Mr Johnson’s allies are keen for the former PM to return from the wilderness, replace Rishi Sunak and lead the Tory party into the general election expected in 2024. But 63 percent are opposed to Mr Johnson trying to lead the country again with only 24 percent in favour of the idea,” it notes.
A clear majority of voters (58 per cent) believe Johnson should have to resign his Uxbridge and Ruislip seat as a Tory MP in London if he is found to have lied over Partygate at the parliamentary inquiry, set to begin by next month.
Although both Johnson and Sunak were fined in the scandal for attending a birthday party at No.10 Downing Street in violation of COVID curbs, around 39 percent of the British public blame the former prime minister for Partygate, while only 9 percent blame Sunak.

Only 14 percent of voters think Johnson can be trusted to tell the truth, while 39 percent believe the same of Indian-origin Sunak.
On the economy, only 19 percent trust Johnson to manage the nation’s finances versus 44 percent for the current Tory leader.
Chris Hopkins, director of Savanta, said the survey numbers showed that discussions by some Tories about bringing back Johnson “should come with serious health warnings”.
“Boris Johnson, and to some extent Liz Truss, are responsible for the Conservatives dire polling numbers,” he warned.
The Savanta ComRes survey comprised of 2,064 adults was carried out between January 13 and January 15 in the UK.

Centre open to views on new education policy: Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan

[ad_1]
Coimbatore: The National Education Policy (NEP) is not a document containing few pages but has lot of new features for the benefit of students, said Union Education and Skill Development Minister Dharmendra Pradhan here on Saturday.
Though education is in the concurrent list of the States, the Centre expects Tamil Nadu to accept NEP, he said.
The Union government is open to ideas and new methods when it comes to NEP, Pradhan said while addressing the 34th convocation of Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women in the city.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphatically said that all should learn mother tongue and the NEP will help to learn, read and write in mother tongue in foundational years, he said and added that the government has asked the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to publish books in all Indian languages from this academic year onwards.
The holistic development of the children will be better if they study in mother tongue and India’s education focuses on employability, empowerment and enlightenment, he said.
Stating that technology was new disrupter, the Union Minister said millions of people use mobile phones. “Internet and smart phones are basic requirements and we were dependent on foreign technologies like android or ios. However, IIT Madras has developed technology for the indigenous 5G a few days ago,” he pointed out.
Referring to COVID-19 vaccines, Pradhan said, “Indians have taken the vaccine, but no one in the world got certificate within a few seconds after taking it like our country. It is such type of technology we are developing in India.”
Highlighting about women empowerment, the Union Minister said, “Tamil Nadu is much more ahead of rest of the country and the State has highest number of working women in the country. India is the mother of democracy and Tamil Nadu the epicenter.”
During India’s G20 Presidency this year, “I expect discussion and deliberation takes place about it in the university,” he said.

Later, replying to a question on decreased budget allocation for NEP, the Union Minister said that it was a wrong information. “The government and Finance Ministry were extending full support to the new education policy and in the next budget more funds will be allocated,” he said.

India promotes racism by being the bright spot in the global economy: Economic Experts

[ad_1]
Critic of Govt economic policies, former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan on Saturday called Indian Govt economic policies discriminatory. Raghuram Rajan’s statement came after International Monetary Fund (IMF) said that India will be a bright spot in global economy in 2023.

Lauding India’s strong macroeconomic fundamentals, IMF said that India is in a better position to deal with the global headwinds. However, economists in India called it a bad sign as India is promoting racism by being bright spot and not dark spot. Economists said that India’s economic policies are against the Black Lives Matter movement.
Earlier, economic expert had said that India will be cornered if it doesn’t get hit by recession like rest of the world. Read here.

Reportedly, India is likely to incorporate some points in the upcoming Budget 2023 to avoid being a bright spot. The Fauxy sources suggest that the government is likely to do away with the Performance Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme and would rather donate Rs 72,000 to every Indian to ensure India is hit by recession.

IndiGo emergency door opening case: Won’t glorify Cong’s criticism, says Tejasvi Surya

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: Reacting for the first time on the aircraft’s emergency door opening incident, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Bengaluru South, Tejasvi Surya on Saturday said a clarification on the matter has already been provided, and he will “not further glorify the criticism of the Congress”.
While the airline — IndiGo, did not name the passenger, some passengers travelling on the same flight had claimed that it was Tejasvi Surya. The BJP leader, however, had maintained a silence on the issue.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday after flagging off Namo Charity Run in Bengaluru, Surya said the airlines and the DGCA have given clarification regarding the incident.
“The Union Minister for Civil Aviation has explained that it was an incident that took place accidentally. K. Annamalai, the Tamil Nadu BJP president who was travelling with me also explained what exactly happened. Two other passengers have also given clarification over the incident,” he said.
“I don’t want to react in the backdrop of criticism from the Congress party or someone asking something, and glorify their criticism,” MP Tejasvi Surya claimed.
A controversy had broken out recently after IndiGo Airlines had released a statement that a passenger had opened the emergency door of its Chennai-Tiruchirapalli flight on December 10, 2022 leading to a two hour delay in the flight departure.
Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia confirmed on Wednesday (January 18) that the door was opened last month “by mistake”, and the person who opened it has apologised.
IndiGo had said on Tuesday that a passenger accidentally opened the emergency exit of a plane at the Chennai airport on December 10. The passenger had apologised, said the airlines.

While the airline did not name the passenger, few opposition parties have reacted on the matter, claiming that the person responsible for the act is Tejasvi Surya.
Without naming Surya, the Civil Aviation Minister on Wednesday confirmed that the passenger who by mistake opened the emergency exit, leading to a two hour delay of the flight, has apologised for his act.
“I won’t respond to what the opposition is saying. It’s important to look at the facts. The door was opened by him by mistake when the flight was on the ground and after all checks, the flight was allowed to take off,” Scindia said.
