|
| When the World Trade Organisation (WTO) finally ruled in favour of Brazil in its long fight with the US over its damaging cotton subisidies, the verdict was a double victory for developing countries. America’s cotton subsidies have hurt a number of developing nations, particularly a clutch of sub-Saharan countries, and this in itself is cause for celebration. |

| Mamata targets LF after victory | 16-SEP-09 |
|
| Victory of the Trinamool Congress -Congress alliance in Siliguri municipal polls has given a fresh ammo to Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee who now says that the Left Front government in West Bengal has lost the moral right to stay in power. "It is shameful that the CPI(M)-led Left Front still clings to power in the state even after tasting a series of defeats in the Lok Sabha, Assembly bypolls, municipalilty, panchayat and many other elections. Today, the Siliguri voters drove the last nail in the coffin of Left Front," Banerjee told a local channel. |

| Jamal Mecklai: Cleaning the Augean stables | 29-MAY-09 |
|
| The singular Congress victory in the Lok Sabha election has thrown up a wonderful opportunity to create a turning point in world history (to quote Uday Kotak). Clearly, economic reforms will move onto a more rapid path, albeit constrained by the lessons of the global economic crisis. Growth will rise, making deficit management easier. And, if the global crisis does, indeed, settle down, we could well see a return to aiming for double-digit growth as early as next year. |
