Manmohan Singh the Prime Minister of India to announce new Cabinet Today!
Jan 19th
Manmohan Singh, the prime minister of India will announce a new cabinet members list on Wednesday. This reshuffle of his cabinet is a mid-term effort to refresh a coalition government snared by corruption scandals and year-high food inflation as it faces key state elections.
PM Singh may make changes to smaller ministries, bringing in younger politicians to change the image of the government. Or he could make major changes with some controversial reformists, such as Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh.
There is a tide of anger all over the country over corruption and hike of prices of basic foods like vegetables. This may strain the coalition’s ties with its increasingly worried party allies in the run-up to important state elections this year and a general election due by 2014. More >
Controversy over Senate Bill : SB 1070
Jul 28th
Arizona’s SB 1070 is set to go into effect this Thursday, July 29, and it brings a variety of reactions from Latin America leaders.
An Arizona Republic poll found 62 percent support allowing illegal immigrants who are living here now to remain in the country if they have a job and no criminal record.
Seventy-three percent of those polled favor a program to identify and put to work foreign workers when needed. This is the guest-worker component of comprehensive reform. It reflects the reality that our nation needs migrant workers.
The same poll found 55 percent of Arizonans support SB 1070.
Support for SB 1070 reflects bone-deep frustration with a broken system that brought death to our deserts and drop houses to our neighborhoods. More >
