Shifting Political Goalpost

2018-08-04T01:10:00.001-07:00

The recent local Municipal election in Maharashtra are any indication, bjp inspite of local anti-govt violent protest has won handsomely in Sangli and  Jalgaon Municipality. The Chief Minister of Maharashtra has led from the front in the run up to these election. Shiv Sena has come poorly second.Others like NCP,Congress has been wiped out.if this trend continues in 2019 in run up to Much anticipated General Election in May,bjp will fare much better without Shiv Sena in Maharashtra.
The opposition parties are clueless about their fate in the 2019 general election ,hence some talk of united opposition without a PM face is being talked about in the political circles.The Delima   of the opposition is that Rahul Gandhi has been given the Mandate by CWC to be projected as PM face of 2019.there are no taker in opposition parties for him.Congress will not play along the lines of Mahaghatbandan without Rahul Gandhi as its projected leader.Mayawati and Akilesh Yadav have made it clear that they will not fall into this Congress Trap,Mamta Banerjee is a fence sitter along with some other small regional parties for accommodating Rahul Gandhi.The scope of these fence sitter is limited and hence they will not in all likelihood join Mayawati and Akilesh Yadavs group.
The question iswhy the opposition shifting the goalpost to counter the bjp led NDA alliance.without fact cheaking of the ground reality,they jump to any eye catching news headline or decision taken by the ruling party.The Assam new registry is a SC monitored process and when, only the final draft has been presented TMC has created a ruckus to play mind games for inclusion of 40 lac identified aliens in Assam for electoral gains.this mind game will not succeed and contrary might boomerang on her own state of west bengal.
Regional players in recent No Confidence motion against the ruling party has been very cautious in not supporting the motion ,hence were is the question of united front Victory. BJD, TRS will try to hold on to their own fort rather be a part of united front and losing seats in 2019.
The larger question then is " why" is the opposition trying to unite when they know that max they will get 150 seats.in south NDA will with new alliance partners will do well in TN,Karnataka,Andhra Pradesh and might open account in Kerala.
The opposition in North East might find it difficult to pass more then 3 to 5 seats.
In order to hype any some incidents across the country,the opposition is raking up any issue which might not find a mention in media.be small incidences of violence and give it communal colour to questioning of Surgical strikes.in their misadventuism  they have been supported by the Urban Naxal,Luyten"s liberal media and other anti-Indian support Platform.successful social reforms and
welfare schemes of the NDA gvt has been questioned by the opposition inspite of its tremendous success,

The voters can see and sense the deception and know that there is no alternate to PM Modi .they also know that if voted to power,the United opposition will first fight among themselves for PM post and take India backward by 20 years by repealing all decision and measures taken By the current Central Govt.We can say that changing political goalpost will not sway the youth of this country they are the backbone of PM Modi and decision by them to re elect the NDA has already been taken.

Post Poll survey and May 16 Result are in favor of BJP/NDA reaching the 272+ mark ,paving the way for new govt formation headed by Shri.Narender Modi.The First challenge before Mr.Modi would be to find the best of people to head the various Ministries,so that work can be started as stated in the vision document.The task is not simple but all indicators are that a conscious decision has been reached as to find appropriate role for Sr.Leaders like Mr.Advani,Joshi and few more.Next since UPA is leaving behind all around mess regarding External and Internal Polices in a mess,hence a new draft is required in minimum number of days to spearhead the development plank.First would be to present a growth Budget with equal opportunity for the common man,tax rejig,Corporate infusion and giving priority to Agriculture,Healthcare,Housing ,and employment scheme so that it propel the basic necessity to reach out to common man.

The next would be to frame a aggressive foreign policy so that a India's clear role can be defined as regard Economic resurgence,Financial inflow,Export trade,Defense procurement, and basic rule for maintaining relationship with our neighboring countries.BRIC and other membership,India should play a dominant role.
The External affairs ministry is in a mess.all Foreign Desk has people but on whose side are they with it is difficult to say.

We need a total overhaul of Defense ministry.The Guideline for Procurement should be based on home grown players.We need to Modernize our forces ,but the tag should be that come to India for a tie-Up with PPP model and deliver.LCA it is 30 years and still not inducted by the Air-force.what was the cause of the delay and scaling of the costing.Mr.Modi and his team need to take a call and induct ASAP.The fifth Generation Fighter jet project in collaboration with Russia is in limbo after spending more then 2000 crore.
Pl scrap or set a deadline by the end of next year to deliver.We have ample capacity to manufacture all the equipments needed for the defense forces but the past greed to get commission for the last 60 years of Congress rule had scuttled all proposal to indigenize production.
Gen V.K.Singh can play pivitol role in spearheading the Modernization plan.The Air-force and The Navy also has very capable people to co-ordinate with Mr.Singh for this.

The Agriculture sector,It and Ministry of Finance needs very seasoned professional as Minister.The development plank would not be possible without a clear cut vision and policy from these ministry.

Healthcare sector is in a mess thanks to Ministry of Health and family welfare.For a vibrant economy we need to undertake all out measure for Population control,so that the Modi Vision can be achieved in next five years.
Rural healthcare has to be implemented with deft handling as past has shown during last 10 years that the Financial bungling by both the center and the state govt has resulted in Total neglect of the rural population in getting best of medical help.As regard the role of MCI and other bodies ,they have messed up the healthcare Education for profit.We need to Increase our Admission seats in Medical collage ten folds to cater India's 1.20 billion population.

The policy of the govt should be a mix bag for the SME sector.till they function at 98% capacity the Industrial Production number would be low.

Water has been an important issue for all the political parties and a strict alternate Ministry should be setup to connect all the rivers and all state should get equal share.other method from PPP model should be encouraged to start Rural Water conservation method for portable drinking water and for Harvesting.
The list is endless and Mr.Modi and his team should be able to take forward our Nation as per his vision document.

For all the achievement to be put forward to the public,Ministry of I and B should play a pivitol www.narendramodi.in role.At Present it is the most corrupt Ministry where nothing works without bribe .

The Changing Political Wind.

2014-05-12T23:18:00.000-07:00

The 2014 General Election has ended yesterday and post poll indicators show clear Majority for Mr.Modi led NDA.if one survey shows the Dynamic expected changing political wind then there would have been people asking question about the validity of the post poll survey authenticity but all are showing NDA as clear winner thus leaving no doubt in people mind about the validity.The next question is what was the causes that led to this change of Guard and the mission impossible into possible task before the New Govt.
Clearly the Main factors were the Policy paralysis effecting the common in day to day life.Price rise no control,poor Educational policy and implementation.no effective solution to unemployment ,Rural Healthcare neglect due to scam,and the rising aspiration of the youth who were effected most by all the wrong decision the UPA govt took.No population control which adversely effected the economy.Rahul Gandhi surrounded by his illogical band of advisers had no vision to tackle the simplest of task and corruption.The PM was redundant.All his proposal was put to rest by Rahul&,Sonia.Then the question was who ran the govt.It was clear the Mother Son duo.Scam after Scam were talking place but instead of punishing the guilty they were rewarded.The frustration of Indian were clear and they vented their ire as seen in the Post Poll result.

The Big Task before the NDA would be to start work not as per manifesto but also to address the current burden left behind by UPA.The Budget will be the first Indicator.The second to engage the 10 crore first time voters in their pursuit of Jobs ,higher education and new look social fiber. Mr.Modi has to waste no time in persecuting the people behind the scams but leave it to Lokpal and other agencies.He has to take India 20 years ahead in five year.I am sure he is capable of doing it with his team.

For Congress it would be best if they could look beyound Rahul and other Gandhi family or else it is heading for a split. The Regional players by now must have realized that it would be best to co-operate with NDA to charter all around growth in their state and a stable India.

    The Current General elections has thrown up many Challenges for all the political parties in India....to stop Narender Modi from becoming the Prime Minister .Lallu or Sonia, Mulayam,and the list is endless . all have forgotten to spell-out their poll manifesto salient features to the voters with context to Economic agenda,Employment,Healthcare and women protection and equal right agenda.The then question is why there is wide spread panic among the political parties.The Possible answer lies in the fact that the well crafted BJP Manifesto spells out in equal measure all important issue the voters are   wanting for as a change.Look at the last 5 years of UPA misgovernance at all the front. Foreign affairs agenda has no takers.Even Fuji today is not looking at India as a Major player around the Indian Ocean waters in terms of diplomacy or Economic help.Our Army's defense preparedness is flawed as mentioned by Former chief Gen V.K.Singh.We cannot fight a battle with neighboring countries for 3 days.Why did AK Anthony the current defense minister choose to ignore the call of our armed forces to revamp.Could it be a direction from 10 Janpath.Our Defense production is concentrated in missile technology.35 years and no sight of LCA.HAL is almost defunct.UPA was too eager to purchase everything from foreign players but ran into a hurdle in form of bribe scam.what the hell the politically correct Mr.Anthony was doing.It seems Sanyaya Baru is right in his assessment of the PMO.All files were directly dealt somewhere else.As regard to our Economic situation post NDA the GDP has nosedived.All available data shows next to negative stability.Agricultural sector production has seen a drastic fall and farmers suicide is seen as a evidence and the callous effort by Sharad Pawar and his team to deal with it.Scam Scam everywhere.

The next question the people of India are asking why not spell out clearly the issues which are so vital for the voters to make a choice among the candidates.Well it seems that Major Political parties have no answer ......thus in the name of secular slogan confuse all voters and hope for the best.attack is the best mode and who else Mr.Modi.
The high voting percentage shows that first time voters have turned in large number and believes on Delivery of urgent social and economic issue then secular credentials/Past has shown that so called 3rd front has miserably failed as an alternative..Then who would carry India to next level as Economic giant and a corrupt free society.Let the voter decide.They can no longer be made to witness all the evil malpractices of UPA.
If it is not for Judicial activism then i do not know where India would have landed/2G.Coal Scam.Educational scam,Rural healthcare scam.The court monitored probe atleast had made sure that the guilty were not running away scot free to cause more harm and UPA was kept in check.Let us wait and see who after May 16th is the winner.Mr.Modi.....looks no alternative.

Strange Ways of Congress Party;

Today's AICC Meet in Delhi Proved once again that there is no Room for openly viewing your opinion regarding any important decision to be taken individually or collectively by the core members of the party and all is left to the party president, least they invite the wrath of her ,by airing freely their view.This was the same almost 40 years back when Late PM Ms Gandhi use to take all decision by herself .The result of such a system is that it leads to Chaotic decision making and no leg room for the PM to apply his own mind in the day to day functioning of the Govt.All decision has to be whetted by same person and we can see the number of Corruption /bad decision by the ruling party least sensitive to the fact that election is around the corner and the economic report card is 1 on a scale of 10.My question is when AICC is has number of wise men then why in every meeting a resolution is passed that the president will take the Final call.The most recent is the decision regarding The UPA candidate for the post of President of India. Pranab Mukherjee and Mira Kumar are likely candidates,as we all know.My next question is why did not the AICC members discussed and Finalized one name in the meeting itself.Mr.Pranab Mukerjee moved a resolution to be adopted that Ms.Sonia Gandhi will take the final call.This in itself makes me believe the Moral Bankruptcy of the members.

15 Minister are in the dock for various reason including the PM for Coal-Gate,yet the system of Governance remains the poor.Who takes all the decision is now quite obvious,yet the PM pretends that all is well.Sir, Pl stand up and re-mold the system of Governance, so that we remember you ,for this .In last 50 plus years of Independent India,never has the Center has been in dock for all the wrong reason.My Presumption is that if the election is to be held this year,UPA will not cross the 100 mark,forget getting a simple majority.

I have no personal Prejudice against the party president ,but lament the fact that this system has been in vogue for the last 50 years ,and no effort is being made to reverse the trend.

Party Governance and Co-ordination should be set aside from Day to Day Functioning of the central Govt and the PM ,a wise man should over-rule any decision he feels that it may lead to negative public opinion.but is it too late.

Both UPA and NDA suffers from ego clashes within their party and a strong 3rd front still have a chances to cash on it and give India a stable govt and good Governance as shown by the CM's of Bihar and Gujarat.

Double Trouble

2011-12-06T06:05:00.000-08:00

For a country like USA to tread a dangerous path of apleasing pakistan and at the same time shown concern for global terrorism is nothing but a ploy to keep its own interest intact.after the Munich Games Masscare in 1972,CIA cut a deal with Black september terror group not to harm its citizens by paying a huge amount of money and at the same time condemmed the masscare of the sportspeople belonging to Isreal.What can we then expect frm them.Afgainstan is the focal point for USA and it is not making any headway in estabilishing peace in the region and thus to buy its wayout of Aganistan USA has been going down on its keens to Now please Pakistan and to keep astrict watch on China ,it wants to be close to India,as pak will not share any info on China.Secondly with a week govt at the centre,Pak army is well estabilished machnary and the so called nuke falling into wrong hands does not hold any good.
The Americans has always ditched India in time of crisis frm 1958 onwards and in the Interest of India,a tripatite alliance between India ,China and Russia could hold the balance in our region and would see a new resurge in Economic development .USA Vital Scientific and information technology has seen an edge because of the high number of Indian working on these project.then why is it that we have to please USA to maintain balance in south east Asia.When the Fighter aircraft deal could not cut ice with India,our oqn govt bent down on its knees and signed a contract of $10 Billion to supply Military transport Aircraft.Cannot we manufacture at one third the cost with some tie-up with some other friendly country.why look for even 126 Fighter aircraft outside,when for the last 20 years our LCA project has not seen the daylight as yet.We could have developed the 5th Generation fighter and saved the double cost of purchasing 126 Aircraft from Europe and Developemt funds for LCA.The kickback will not be in the LCA project hence we outsource it.Every sector you see today is in problem due to lack of vision or Political will.Our India suffers and continue to bleed with no response frm the govt or lip sycn.We need a new visionary to come up like Anna and show that on our own strength we can become a bigger economic giant and bypassing USA is in our Interest.

Urban Terrorism

2008-12-02T08:34:00.000-08:00

The Recent attack in Mumbai is nothing new keeping in mind that we have already had 19 terror attack in the last four years.But what is note worthy is that it was the beginning of Urban Terrorism for the first time.10+ terrorist killed more then 190+ dead and more then 450 people Injured. The ease with which the attack was carried makes one feel that the home work was well done.Then the next question is how well the local police was prepared.I would say that it was good for nothing and the fault lies not with the policeman but the Lawmakers and planners.The kind of ammo and the weapon the terrorist had was no match for the local police and ATS.They were sitting duck.The weaponry poss ed by the combined force of Mumbai police is not good enough for such a situations.
Next the Intelligence gathering was good but not used by local unit of Mumbai for some unknown reason.RAW clearly gave all the details as far back as third week of Sept2008 but it was shelved for some strange reason.The spotter's deployed by Mumbai police did not report ASAP of the landing of the 10 terrorist and hence such high causality.
The next question is that the home ministry should have taken a hint from the Marriott hotel attack in Pakistan and it was a matter of time that Marriott was to be followed in India as the terrorist was on the run in Kashmir due to Vigilant Forces.
We need to cut across party line and give go head for settingp up of a Central agency for ensuring that this kind of attack can be avoided.The chief of such a agency should report to PM directly without the interference of Regional political party in power.
What would had happened that 100 terrorist had come with Such kind of ammo.

Spiritual rearmament " need of the hour"

2008-11-17T21:14:00.000-08:00

The World is witnessing a new series of disaster ranging from Economic meltdown to global terrorism to weening off the moral fiber in the society, due to lack of spiritual advancement .What do all these changes indicate.?.there is clear cosmic negation of spiritual energy essential for correcting the imbalances .The need for all the people connected with assigned work for correcting all the problems lies in their having high degree of Spiritual energy which is clearly lacking.This spiritual energy gives us the essential food for correct thought and direction, which when lacking results in having low energy form and negative thought process.The Home Loan mortgage in USA must have started with professional in this industry having no insight for things to come due to spiritual Vacuum.This must have lead to misrepresentation of facts and figures and not foreseeing the big negative impact it would have on the global economic scenario,they hid the facts and thought that it would correct by itself.but rumour mongers also added to the fast breakdown of the financial world as they too without Spiritual vacuum degenerated into a mass of negative impact citizen.The impact was felt world over and only people in India have been able to come to terms with this situation due to their firm believe and practice in Spiritualism.See the Financial world is bouncing back in India as the people in the corridor of power with high level of spiritual energy and right attitude towards taking right decision has lessened the Impact.Wake up all the Global citizen and let us practice the right art of Spiritualism to empower us to take right course of action for overcoming the crisis.For more info Contact : abhayshanker.sahaay@gmail.com

The New Wave Hindu Militancy

The Recent arrest of serving officer of Indian Army and Hindu Religious leaders on Malegoan boom blast brings to centre stage the definition of Hindutva and its guideline.In past we have organisation like RSS and VHP but never have they been found in such conspiracy.Then the next question is what is it that drove these people to take such ext ream step.The answer can be best answered by the accused only.But such step will not help the cause of Hindutvaism on a world Platform and as torchbearer of peace and spiritual rearmament.

In Past Hindutvaism got a new peaceful and meaningful direction from great spiritual leaders like Swami Vivekanand and others which was accepted world over.It is only after the extreme militant stand take by Muslim Fundamentalist world over Particularly India that we say anew movement like Shiv Sena and Bajrang Dal.It was very important for Politician to have take all measure to halt the madness of Muslim Fundamentalist in their evil design to destabilise India but they choose to Ignore it possibly for vote bank.

The Malegoan accused should not go Scot free if found guilty but the question remains why where the common people forced to take ext ream step in a land of diverse culture and religion.

Wake up politician and go into the past history of great religious leader who through peace and human approach brought India to leading religious force to be reckoned with but the current scenario is weeding in a new low in religious Harmony.

USA Election

2008-11-09T22:57:00.000-08:00

The Recent Victory of Senator Obama as President designate does not brings lots of cheer to radical shift in American-Indo political relationship.After his victory ,he had personally telephoned all important world leaders to thank them for their support including pak PM but choose to ignore the Indian PM.This act of the president elect can be seen as things to come.Except Mr.Bill Clinton and JFK and to some extent The Current outgoing President Bush India has been seen in poor light by the USA admin.In the current world political scenario India cannot be ignored .India is now a world Economical Giant and any false negative move by Obama Admin will lead to a possible world order in which we might see a Sino-Indo-Russian alliance,which will Marginalise USA,as it is economically not that sound.Wake Mr.President elect.
