Haryana 2022: Elections busy netas, neighbours bicker, athletes get medals

From panchayat and municipal polls to the Adampur assembly bye-election and Rajya Sabha polls, elections kept the main political parties on their toes in Haryana the past year even if there is still time for the big 2024 contest. There was bickering with the neighbouring state over sharing of resources - land in common capital Chandigarh for a separate Haryana Vidhan Sabha building and water from the rivers flowing in Punjab. The Assembly passed a Bill against religious conversion through force, undue influence or allurement with Haryana following the template of other BJP-ruled states, like Uttar Pradesh. The sports powehouse did the nation proud again. Its players won 20 of the country's 61 medals at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, and the state also won the overall championship trophy at the Khelo India Youth Games. The ruling BJP-Jannayak Janta Party combine won control over 25 of the 46 municipal bodies for which the elections were held in June. The alliance followed this w

Missed inflation target, digital currency pilot mark RBI's 2022 map

The Reserve Bank of India failed to deliver on its contracted inflation target for the first time, started fiat digital currency pilot and finally saw its efforts to improve bank balance sheets see fruition in 2022, making it a mixed year for the central bank. With inflation ebbing into the target band, focus is likely to shift to helping economic growth in the new year, especially given the lagged impact of 2.25 per cent in rate hikes since May 2022, is likely to hamper GDP expansion. The big story of 2022 happened on October 12, when official data showed that headline inflation was above the 6 per cent mark -- the upper end of the tolerance band set for the central bank -- for nine consecutive months. It triggered a letter from RBI to the government enumerating the reasons for the miss and also when it sees the price rise coming to the 4 per cent mark. A bulk of the blame for persistent inflation was placed on the deteriorating global situation following the Russian invasion of ..

BJP returns to power, disasters take their toll in Uttarakhand in 2022

The BJP's gamble in Uttarakhand on Pushkar Singh Dhami worked. Just months before the assembly polls, the party installed him as the chief minister, replacing Tirath Singh Rawat. And in February, the BJP won a second successive term in the state known for booting out the party in power in every time. Dhami, however, lost his own Khatima seat and had to wait for a bypoll to confirm his appointment as CM. Politics aside, 2022 was a year of disasters -- a road accident that killed 33, an avalanche that took at least 27 lives and a helicopter crash on the Kedarnath pilgrimage route. The government also faced the heat over past recruitment scams, concerns over ecology resurfaced, and the murder of a hotel receptionist brought people out on to the streets. The BJP government that returned to power with a shrunken majority 47 seats compared to 57 in a House of 70 in 2017, Congress got just 19 got down to business quickly. At its very first meeting, the state cabinet cleared a proposal t
