Lessons from Assembly Elections

Image
Synopsis on the State elections Uttar Pradesh, Goa,  has for once risen above expectancy in terms of polling percentage.  Congrats to Akhilesh yadav and Mr Parikkar for their Stellar role in their respective Victories. Many attribute to the want in change and the change is  No  to corruption. Though in Punjab and Uttarakhand it was a tight finish it was face saving for NDA in former but not so in later. The Only place wrested to Congress is Manipur. If at all BJP had come so near in Uttarakhand to the finish line despite many corruption charges against their few leaders it is because of General Kandhuri, Irony he has lost the elections (if the results are to be believed). The Lessons drawn in this election for both Congress and BJP are  the people of India has arisen above Caste, Religion and  Petty political affiliation and Illusions and have taught that Development, Non-Corruption are the core issues concerned. If not for the...

NCTC- Centre kept in abeyance: Government -Some States Oppose

Image
" Internal security could not be strengthened unless the States and the Centre focussed on sharing intelligence" PM Modi in the  "Inter State Council"   PM is too right on the said count but without an Act will it serve any Purpose,, There are States for their Political survival and for Appeasement in no certain terms cooperate with Intel sharing. Dear Prime Minister we need an Act to bring in NCTC! SYNOPSIS OF NCTC On the broader perspective NCTC is One step forward in tackling the radical fundamental Terrorism that has crept across the various states of India. The centralized Intelligence mechanism would reduce the time taken in sharing of Intelligence, tracking the Sleepers, penetrating the terror outfits and for better coordination among several Intelligence agencies to fight terror.. Predecessor of NCTC - MAC The Vajpaye Govt to revamp the Intelligence agencies recommended a stetting up of CTC (Counter terrorism Centre) which ...

Nitin Gadhkari - Leadership

Image
Nitin Gadkari role which Iam critical all along right from Inducting  Kushwaha, handling of corrupt Yedurappa, Inclusion of Sanjay Josh, Mishra in RS and now the Coal Scams! points he has no ability nor the will to take the BJP forward as usual let me chant "Quit Nitin" for the benefit of BJP The writing on the wall is as clear as a blue sky. Yet Many BJP Leaders fail to notice the need for Structural change until it becomes absolutely too late and too little could be done. It's a complex decision for sure with too many riddles, doubts, fears, Insecurity, and even self centric surrounding Nitin and Co. sitting in Delhi. The prevailing Political conditions further add to the uncertainty of the Central Govt falling sooner than later. The Battle lines are drawn clearly for Snap Polls, If BJP still feels not so then the Illusion that the present leaders are in for a big surprise. It is not only the People but all Non Congress Parties and even Congress allies are frustra...

Yedurappa & Swamy's Deal Interesting ?

Image
Yet another time Karnataka Govt had embarrassed the BJP  and the Nation as a whole.  We all are aware  Mr Yedurappa  who was thrown out of the  Chief Minister ' Office of Karnataka in various scandal is still ruling the roost. He is the Proxy Leader for the BJP Govt. The unconditional support from  majority caste of   Lingayats and  supported by  Seers of the Lingayats  ( The religious head)  is the main cause of Arrogance. Yesterday Karnataka hit all time low in the eyes of Nation with 2 consecutive events hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons. State sponsored Rave Party in the name of Musical event (Booze, Drugs and Chicks) Watching Pornographic Clips by the distinguished Ministers during Session @ Assembly. Few Months Back Ram Sena Goon Hoisted Pakistan Flag and tried to blame the Minority ( though the BJP MLA was behind the incident through impartial Probe) Though the thre...

Subramaniya Swamy - Symbol, BJP need to Revisit

Image
This time around SWamy in his tweets commands that there would be an alternate National Party to take on Congress! Ironically he was mentioning the BJP! Well Many who follow serious Politics would never take his words seriously! He is just another Digvijay Singh in Politics! always brandishing himself as the best Politician ever! He has also said that he has Identified 67 LS seats for the coming General Elections which he would win hands down! I pity his humor and someone needs to teach him "Politics". First he needs to have an Election symbol unfortunately he dosent have one and has no Idea how to get one either! The symbol which was taken away from him , which was contested was also dismissed read >>  SC: Symbol can be taken back if party is rejected at the hustings  , So I do not foresee any of his Gimmicks in Twitter coming true! Though he is capable of Disintegrating the NDA! which he is known for! rather than misleading poor Tweeter's who think they a...

CWG- Scam SHIELA DIXIT DUCKING FROM SCAMS

Image
Suresh Kalmadi a disgrace to India served nine months in Tihar Jail pertaining to the mega-sporting event held in New Delhi in 2010 called "CWG". Kalmadi had been accused of allegedly awarding a contract to a Swiss firm to install a Timing-Scoring-Result (TSR) system for the Games at an exorbitant rate, causing a loss of over Rs 90 crore to the state exchequer. Though he is out on bail and as usual goes to do his business with IOA ? Pity our Law which cant do anything with these Scamsters. Sheila Dixit - Even before we get into the Main Scam by the Delhi CM  let us see her contribution to the Mini Scams and Immoral decisions  proving herself that she belongs to Congress. Lokayuktha has written to the outgoing President to take action against Sheila DIxit for Unethically distorting facts in the Pre-Poll e;ection campaign. In 2009, Delhi  lokayukta  investigated a complaint filed by advocate Sunita Bhardwaj, a BJP worker, saying that Dikshit misu...

Sonia- Fiasco in food Security Bill

Image
Sonia Gandhi who heads the National Advisory  Council vetted out her dream of implementing  Food Security for the poverty driven people of India. Her Pet Project which had been in her closet ever since the UPA II came into power. The only Visionary of the country decided to unleash her dream in bringing  the food security  bill which was unanimously passed by her devoted Cabinet to the standing committee for further deliberations( God knows what) and it will be introduced in Parliament in the next couple of days. The Idea of the Bill is to eradicate poverty through Public Distribution system from the Center. For any common man in suburbs,villages even in metro they might consider this to be an excellent scheme which benefits the poorest of the poor. Having defined its objective every Indian would accept or strive to eradicate poverty. But the larger point is whether this Bill would fulfill the objective? ...

Lokpal - Who needs Lokpal?

Reality check on the BJP ,Congress, Corporates & Media -  Congress defiant to bring in Strong LP as it undermines its supremacy if their version is not accepted, also it might haunt them forever for the various huge Scams that they have consistently involved in and there is little or no surprise that they are bent upon not not to let CBI off their Gloves. We had seen series of Corruption flicks Starting from CWG, 2G, 3G, NHRM, Coal gate and many more to come Reason for Congress does not Want Strong Lokpal Rahul, Robert, Kalmadi, Shiela Dixit all have imminent Danger   BJP  don't want congress to bring stronger LP as Cong  would take the credit . BJP is as ineffective as Congress in standing firm on its ground.  Events like Rath Yathra by Mr Advani on Black Money was only to take away inner feud else he would have debated on this issue in Lok Sabha where the BJP was beaten Black and Blue by Manish Tewari (most believe an inco...
