The Lallantop Show, Episode no. 1940| 02 February 2026
In today’s LT show, Kuldeep is discussing the following news
India’s possible consent to not buy Russian oil under the deal prompts scrutiny over whether this aligns with its leadership role in the global south. Shifting to Venezuelan and US oil sources raises doubts about cost-effectiveness and India’s refining capabilities. These changes could alter import dependencies and influence long-term energy security.
The deal’s implications for India-Russia relations come under the spotlight, given Russia’s vital role as a weapons supplier. Reduced reliance on Russian oil might strain this strategic partnership, affecting defense collaborations. Broader foreign policy shifts could redefine India’s position in international alliances.
Claims by the US Agriculture Minister that India has opened its agricultural and dairy markets spark concerns about local farmers facing increased competition. This could lead to price fluctuations and economic pressures on rural communities. Politically, it poses risks for the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, potentially eroding support in key voter bases and flipping India’s trade surplus with the US into a deficit.
The Supreme Court criticizes WhatsApp’s 2021 privacy policy for its inflexible approach, signaling a push for stronger user protections. An interim order is slated for February 9, with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology now involved in the case. This development underscores evolving debates on digital rights and regulatory oversight in India.
