Quick Glance: Arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Raises Concern Ahead of Indian Elections

When Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested in March for an alleged liquor scam by the Enforcement Directorate, it marked the latest incident in a long list of legal offensives against opposition leaders ahead of the Indian general elections.

Surveys indicate the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is ahead, but concerns over unemployment and inflation could boost the opposition.

Opposition parties in India, critical of Modi, see recent developments as a government attempt to use central agencies to pressure political opponents.

Kejriwal's arrest could pave the way in Delhi for President's Rule, leading to the dissolution of the AAP-led government with the BJP taking control of the state.

Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil

The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

wionews.com/videos/donald-trump-immunity-case-us-sc-hears-trumps-immunity-case-715077

Quick Glance: Trump's Disregard for Democratic Principles

Donald Trump's claim of absolute immunity for criminal acts as president is an assault on common sense and a perversion of the fundamental principle of American democracy.

The Supreme Court's decision to take the case may delay the former president's trial and deprive the public of the right to know if he attempted to undermine the sacred process of presidential succession.

The Supreme Court's direct intervention in the 2024 presidential election deprives voters of critical information and could lead to a constitutional crisis if Trump is re-elected and convicted.

The notion that the president is above the law and can pardon himself is a radical contempt for republican government, revealing Trump's vision of unchecked royal power.

Quick Glance: Modi Warns of Black Money and Benefits of Electoral Bond Scheme

Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the significance of the electoral bond scheme as a tool for disclosing donations to political parties.

Modi cautioned that the Supreme Court's abolition of the electoral bonds system had pushed the country towards black money in elections, leading to future regrets.

He pointed out areas for enhancement within the system and defended the objective of making electoral processes more transparent and free from black money.

Modi took on the Opposition, accusing them of spreading falsehoods about electoral bonds, and disclosed information regarding corporate donations made through the system.
