  • Priyanka and Varun Takes a Sharp Edge by : INVC Team Published on : 15 Apr, 2014 06:37 PM IST
    The crossing of swords of words between the two cousins; Priyanka and Varun takes a sharp edge By : INVC Team Published On : 15 Apr, 2014 06:37 PM IST INVC, Delhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday bombarded yet another word cannon at her cousin Varun Gandhi, saying the Lok Sabha elections is "an ideological war and not a family tea party". Evidently, The crossing of swords between the two cousins occurred early in the morning from across nearby towns in the midst of electioneering as Varun filed his nomination from Sultanpur constituency. Varun also hit back at her accusing her of "crossing limits of decency" and said that one cannot raise one's stature by belittling somebody. "This is not a family tea party. It is an ideological war. I believe anybody, no matter how close they are, own blood relations ... if they are going to be on that side of the ideological divide. "He had expressed his views in the last elections and I do not agree with them at all. I strongly disagree with them. It is a betrayal of my family. My father died for the unity of this country. I cannot disregard it for anybody even if it is my own child," Priyanka told reporters in Amethi, where she was campaigning for her brother Rahul. She was apparently referring to the controversy Varun had created in the last elections when he addressed an election rally in Pilibhit constituency which was widely denounced as a hate speech. A couple of days earlier she had remarked that Varun had gone "astray" and should be shown the right path.

  • Gender Stereotyping of Female Politicians on Twitter
    Journal of Content, Community & Communication Amity School of Communication Vol. 13 Year 7, June - 2021 [ISSN: 2395-7514 (Print) ] Amity University, Madhya Pradesh [ISSN: 2456-9011 (Online)] WOMEN LEADERS AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION: GENDER STEREOTYPING OF FEMALE POLITICIANS ON TWITTER Neha Saluja PhD. Scholar, Symbiosis International University, Pune (Corresponding Author) Email: [email protected] Dr N. Thilaka Director, Symbiosis School of Media & Communication, Bengaluru ABSTRACT Digital media has evolved into the most comprehensive space of political communication. Many politicians utilise social media platforms to extend their political discourse, and the public has exhibited divergent responses. However, female political leaders are often subjected to a unique pattern of reception distinct from that of their male counterparts. This research employs qualitative content analysis and Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (FCDA) to draw gender-specific inferences from the Twitter discourse of three prominent female leaders in India: Priyanka Gandhi, Mayawati Smriti Irani. It explores the relationship between their digital discourse and the scope of performative gender in modern-day political communication. Through findings incorporating relevant points of intersection between attitudes of misogyny and the popular conception of leadership, it foregrounds the key concept of gender trolling in digital communication. In doing so, the research signifies a predominantly discriminative digital media that delineates the growth of egalitarian politics. Keywords: Female leaders, political communication, Twitter, gender, stereotyping INTRODUCTION gendered leadership stereotypes that The unprecedented growth of digital automatically assigns women to an imaginary platforms in recent years has paved the way set of rules and regulations (Aaldering and for the growth of political communication Van Der Pas, 2018, p.

So, no jobs, no vote for BJP. That is the Mantra for 2019 elections. Friends, Modi Government is the single biggest destroyer of jobs, of hope and future of India’s youth. PM Modi came to power promising 2 crore jobs a year. Five years down the line, joblessness and unemployment are at a 45 year high and I want to give you 9-10 important indices. Economic Growth is at a 5 year low. Farm Income Growth is at a 14 year low. Fresh investments are at a 14 year low. Private Investments are at a 7 year low.

Vishal Srivastav enevolent Yogi Adityanath has been a development crusader. In the last four years of his tenure as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, he has plugged most holes left opened by his predecessors. B There isn’t an iota of doubt that the state is moving in the right direction of attaining the unthinkable. Even as Yogi prepares to present final budg- et of his current regime on February 22, all eyes are once again hooked on to Yogi- the benefactor, who has not let down any section of the society during his previous budgetary allocations. Uttar Pradesh, under the leadership of Yogi Adityanath, has brought global laurels for ef- fective control of Covid-19 and the on-going construction of three Expressways- Purvan- chal, Bundelkhand and Ganga, is another feather in his four glorious years. These are likely to get more impetus in next fiscal. While the governments in the past paid scant regard to the balanced development of the state, and remained committed to region-spe- cific, it is under Yogi’s dispensation that UP has seen an all-round growth and more lies ahead as Yogi’s development-oriented UP marches ahead. And for rise in prices of a few com- modities, people expect their trust- worthy CM to nudge it.
