The News Makers of India of year 2021

The News Makers of India of year 2021:                                                             Kangana Ranaut : Actor Kangana Ranaut continued her role as agent provocateur in 2021 with statements like india got freedom in 2014, calling protesting farmers “terrorists” and international pop star Rihanna “a fool”. Her rapid-fire insults made more news than the Padma she was given.

Neeraj Chopra : On the last event of the last day of the Tokyo Olympics, Neeraj Chopra threw a stick and planted a flag that ended India’s 100 year wait for a gold medal in athletics.

The once chubby kid from Haryana who took up the javelin to get fit didn’t just win a medal, he also won hearts by shutting down a hate campaign against his Pakistani supporting rivals.

Navjot singh sidhu: The charismatic but unpredictable politician has a way of being in the news.This year he was instrumental in the ouster of Amrinder Singh from the CM’s post. But though the Punjab Congress Chief did succeed in ousting the veteran, he has had to wait in the wings as the unheralded Charanjit Channi became CM with Congress playing the Dalit card. As elections in Punjab approach, Sidhu stands at a crucial cross-roads, hoping that he will take over in the event of a Congress win.

Mamta Banerjee: Way back in 1984, Mamta Banerjee, still in her late 20s, grabbed national attention as a giant killer defeating Somnath Chatterjee from Jadavpur in the Lok Sabha elections. In the decades since then, she has cemented her reputation as a never say die street fighter battling on when nobody thought the left could be displaced from power in West Bengal. That refusal to give up without a fight was in magnificent display during the assembly polls early this year when most Pandits saw the tide running inexorably against her. She lost many of her trusted lieutenants to the BJP and the saffron party’s high voltage , high visibility campaign was beginning to look like an unstoppable juggernaut. The street fighting political smarts came to the fore as she announced that she would contest from Nandigram, in the heart of the strong hold of the adhikaris and against one of them. She was surely aware of the risk of loosing the battle, but gambled on winning the war. Such was the impact of the TMC’s crushing victory in Bengal that she has since emerged as a possible fulcrum for an opposition alliance nationally and the defectors from the party are falling over each other in the race of Ghar Wapasi.

Adar Poonawalla : Adar Poonawalla, who heads the world’s largest vaccine manufacturing company Serum Institute of India, had the daunting goal of helping end the pandemic, Though a ban on exports meant his company could not meet its pledge to the COVAX global vaccine sharing effort, it has already produced over a billion doses of the covishield vaccine. SII has also started manufacturing a second vaccine, COVOVAX, in association with US based NOVAVAX. But as OMICORON has shown, the war against COVID-19 is not over yet.

YOGI ADITYANTH: Chief Minister of India’s most populous state, and one that held the key of BJP’s fortunes, Yogi has weathered political storms and lasted the course. Though his “encounter” policy had civil rights activists up in arms, he stuck to his guns and his tough on crime image seemed to work in a state there and politics went hand in hand the “oxygen” deaths at BRD Hospital, the Sengar case, the Hathras rape murder, anti-CAA stirs and, more recently, the covid challenge, the farm agitation and Lakhimpur Kheri violence, tested Yogi but he has remained afloat. Having mentored a Hindu Sena in his borough of Gorakhpur and much of east UP, Yogi has been demonstrative about his Hindutva politics, emphasizing the construction of the Ram temple at Ayodhya and rejuvenation of Kashi as major achievements and crafting a political strategy based on polarization.
