India braces for super storm
Tonight on The Buck Stops Here:
India braces for super storm
Even as Andhra Pradesh reels from a political storm, a massive cyclone that has been building up in the Bay of Bengal threatens the coastal districts of the state and it's neighbour, Odisha. The state governments and NDRF forces have scrambled to evacuate lakhs of people, and prepare for a mega-storm that many experts fear will dwarf the fearsome Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans in 2005. Has the Met Department underestimated the power of Cyclone Phailin or will the measures taken save the lives and livelihoods of lakhs of Indians? We discuss.
Third Front dream resurrected?
With the buildup to the 2014 general elections already beginning to gather pace and no clear winner emerging so far between the Congress and the BJP, are the Left parties attempting to resurrect the dream of a Third Front government? More importantly, with previous such experiments having failed spectacularly, do regional party leaders have any realistic expectations of forming a lasting government at the centre? Join the heated debate on The Buck Stops Here - Weekend edition.
