This is because the US is a very important country, and we live in a very interconnected and globalised world. There are two big ways that people are divided. Firstly, based on his background- a young South Asian Muslim Mayor, and secondly, his ideology and policies- a Democratic Socialist.  He won the mayorship by contesting from both the Democratic Party and the Working Families Party. He will command the $115B budget of the city. In this article, let us closely look at various claims and separate myths from realities.  Link to the News Capsule of the Month 100 Days Plan Mamdani has kept 100 days to bring in structural changes in the city governance. As of now, it has been 40-45 days, and we have yet to see what exactly is going to be a big change. Just like any leader, his first fe...

On 1st July, the results of the New York City Mayoral Democratic Party Primary were out. Whoever wins the democratic primary is likely to be the mayor of NYC. Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic Party Primary. The City follows a ranked choice system where votes are transferred to a higher candidate until someone achieves at least 50% of the vote. Mamdani was leading in the first round before the transfer of votes. He defeated the long-time veteran of New York Politics, Andrew Cuomo, 56-44 in the second round. Hence, now Mamdani will head towards the final New York Mayoral election in November.  This article is not about him, his ideology or whether that will help New York City; rather, it is about how he managed to win the election and what both parties of the USA, as well as any political enthusiast, can learn from that.  Founded by the Dutch in 1624, New York City is the largest city in the USA and is the heart of Wall Street, the symbol of free market capitalism...
