Nitish Kumar’s Habit Of Ditching Continues

2013-06-18T15:53:00.000+05:30

Many saw this coming, including most in BJP. So do me as well. In a bizarre turn of events, it was expected of Nistish Kumar to do something utterly stupid which may and will have strong reparations for him and his party in the long run. Well may not be that long since 2014 general elections is just round the corners. If you ask me, what are my specific feelings of this split; I would rather put it in very simple and clear terms. I am happy.

But before I elaborate why I am exactly happy seeing the NDA numbers getting reduced further, let us first look at Nitish Kumar as an individual. For those whom this split came as a surprise; isn’t ditching a regular habit of Nitish Kumar? He first ditched Lalu, then the founding father of Samata Party, George Fernandes and now eventually the party which made him the Nitish Kumar from a routine rambling, Kurta tearing nameless regional leader. He always was a seasoned trouble maker from the days JD(U) attached itself with NDA for personal gain. He always has this habit of besetting issues out of nowhere so as to keep himself and his party’s relevance in whole of this NDA dynamics. Be it spewing venom against LK Advani at the start of the alliance or their continuous nonsense against Narendra Modi, Nitish Kumar along with his party boss Sharad Yadav were at it all this while. For the sake of a mere 20 number of seats, Nitish Kumar was always a frontrunner in blackmailing BJP and other senior NDA constituents every now-and-then to tow their lines. I am glad that, finally such political blackmailing has its end, though it could have been in a more civilized manner than the unceremonious way it finally ended.

Along with a seasoned ditcher, Nitish Kumar proved how big a hypocrite he is. The man, whom he seems so fond of now, is the one who always was at the center of all his criticisms till recent past. When Goa happened, though BJP should have done that a long time back, it was Nitish’s party which was the first to term that as a BJP’s internal matter. All looked as normal business or at least Nitish tried to make it look that way initially. I pity on the political Gurus and our paid media to miss the despicable hidden intent in Nitish Kumar’s utterances. Little one thought that Nitish was in lookout for an excuse. And didn’t LK Advani provide that in a platter? The same Advani who was a communal bot for JD(U) all this while suddenly turned a darling once the resignation letter was exchanged with Rajnath Singh.

From nowhere Sharad Yadav unexpectedly found it uncomfortable to stay with NDA since he had this alliance pact with Vajpayee and Advani. As per him it is no Advani; no Vajpayee; no NDA. And how fool it was on my part to think JD(U) always has an alliance with NDA, not with two individuals of BJP. The displeasure of Nitish or Sharad Yadav on the prospect of a missing Advani or inclusion of Narendra Modi shouldn’t have been there, had there been seriousness beyond vested interest in the whole alliance. A party is not run by couple of individuals, if you are not talking about Congress. It is expected for any democratically run party to have a change in leadership, as and when it is deemed fit for the party. I am not sure if in the pact, there was a clause prohibiting either Advani or Vajpayee to die even or else, change of guard is quite natural with everything. Old people do phase out and duly are replaced with newer lot. So when Sharad Yadav says, he can’t continue since Advani no more remains there to cajole him and Nitish Kumar, it more sound like a bad excuse than genuine concerns.

It becomes even more surprising to fathom, a party which never found the elevation of NaMo as a problem initially, all of a sudden got jittery and that too all within a span of 6 days. While one may wonder what could have happened in these six days for a seventeen year old alliance to break up; in reality it is plain opportunisms, hypocrisy and a bad habit of ditching people that got the better of Nitish Kumar.

Now here is the thing. Mamata Banarjee skirted the absurd federal front nonsense in these six days. In support of the nonsense, Naveen Pattnaik came out in open. Nitish Kumar or all of his spokespersons may not agree to admit in open, but given a chance, I would wonder who could be that politician who wouldn't want to be the priminister of this nation. I don’t blame Nitish Kumar, if he fosters any such dreams as he is well within his rights to have all such dreams as many times as he wants. Then shouldn’t he in that case speak out his clear intentions behind opposing NaMo than furnishing nonsense and excuses while splitting from BJP? That is where I find the Bihar chiefminister a hypocrite and liar of first grade. Being a leader of his stature or so as it is claimed by his party, the least expected from him was honesty and clarity in content; not absurdity and hypocrisy. No wonder why Nitish Kumar is feeling relived and getting so thankful for Manmohan Singh.

People now may say, Congress party is wooing Nitish, but for me, the wooing is mutual and going on for quite some time. The day Nitish camped in Delhi demanding a special status for Bihar; the mutual wooing was anything but evident. To further the process of wooing, a notorious party like Congress, which seldom cares for non-congress led states, the demands of NK were accepted quicker than the time Nitish would have taken to jolt down all his demands in a piece of paper. While similar demands of other non-congress ruled states are lying in the gutters, Nitish’s demands were taken on priority, even superseding the demands of one of their syndicates in crime, going by the name SP. While that was surprising for many that time, I saw what the real intent in such affectionate mutual back scratching.

But there is a catch, before Nitish could be wooed in to the UPA folds. Since he spent a considerable time in BJP camp, he has to be certified of his secular credentials before he could be employed as another of Madam’s trusted sycophants. And for all such certificates, none in the world better qualifies than the Congress party itself. Like the international ISO standard, Congress has built a solid reputation of identifying seculars from the crowd. This specific ability of Congress to find seculars in a room full with communal idiots has made them identify jewels in the field of secularism like Lalu Prasad Yadav and Mulayam Singh Yadav. So the masters in recognizing seculars didn’t let down yet again by their powers of observation to see the secular avatar of Nitish Kumar and that too in double quick time. So no sooner JD(U) broke ties with BJP, it was Manmohan Singh who was first to certify the secular credentials of Nitish Kumar and that is precisely when, I am told NK felt a lot relieved; a kind of reincarnation stuff after spending 17 years with the communal morons. Please do glance at the certificate of secularism issued by Congress, not only to Nitish Kumar but the entire JD(U).

Now coming back to, why I am happy. Everyone knows how NK became the CM of Bihar. With a paltry 38 MLAs with him, none would have expected Nitish Kumar to become the CM when the senior alliance member BJP has 67 of them. I feel sorry for Sushil Modi even now. Call it the payout of NDA alliance or plain bighearted qualities of Vajpayee that NK is where he is now. Had BJP not shown generousness back then NK would still be an unknown face as what he was in 2002. The undeserving CM post not only gave NK a face, it also allowed him to build his party JD(U) in BJP’s expense. From mere 38 seats to now 100+, the exponential rise of JD(U) as a party has got a good share of credit due for BJP. But look at how NK paid his dues. By backstabbing and playing rotten double speak. And the least we can do in our life is to keep ourselves far away from such dual standard morons, who would go to any extent for personal gain. I am happy, that such fake and non-ethical individuals are out of NDA. May look like a jolt for now but such hypocrites are bound to impart far bigger loss in future than the present benefit they may give. Good that such losses are duly sidelined before they could hamper more.

And of course, the exit of JD(U) made sure that now none is there to spew lies and obstruct NaMo from being named as the NDA’s PM candidate. Even the country wants that to happen. Isn’t it? So a part of my happiness is for the nation as well.

Right To Food? What About Right To ‘Clean Water’?

2013-06-18T09:44:00.004+05:30

This is a guest post written and donated by Shalabh Chopra

In between all this hue and cry about the food security bill, something came in my mind and that needs an address. First of all, it’s really amusing to me that Congress party has suddenly started thinking of the poor hungry Indians. They couldn't think of it in 65 years of independence, and now they are even ready to roll over the parliamentary discussions on the bill and get an ordinance passed.

It’s all clear for what reason the bill has become such a need of congress. The anti-incumbency and corruption charges have somewhat afraid the congress party. The party won 206 seats in the last elections and now it doesn't even seem to cross the 120 mark.

At this juncture, it becomes important for congress party to get this bill passed and cash on votes. How much will it work? The time would tell, and certainly the voters.

Let's leave that topic and now focus on what I have got to say. I won't be going into the financial problems that bill could possess for the Indian economy, lets only focus on something we are omitting.

What a man needs to survive? Food, Water, and Oxygen

Oxygen is available in plenty; Food is already being subsidized and if Congress has its way it may be subsidized further, but what about Water? Clean drinking water? Which the people living in Race Course road and Akbar Road in Delhi get 24 hours and in abundance.

Let's talk water first:

A report released in February about a food survey conducted by government organization, National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) in 2009-10, showed the rural households those are not getting two square meals a day were at 1 percent, while that figure for urban households were about 0.4 percent.

The survey shows that about 10 million of Indians (1 crore people) do not get enough to eat, which is undoubtedly is a national shame. What's more shameful is 100 million Indians (10 crore) do not get access to clean drinking water. That is even a bigger shame, won't you think?

Economist Arvind Virmani said in times of India; "Analysis of the state-wise 2004-05 National Sample Survey and the 2005-06 National Family Health Survey data led to the conclusion that the most important cause of malnutrition in India was the abysmal state of public health in terms of sanitation, pure drinking water and public knowledge about the importance of cleanliness…and of course nutrition”

This clearly proves India has more malnourished people than hungry people. The malnourishment is because of many factors which go beyond 'just food'. Sanitation and clean drinking water, which the international community really count on is not a big concern for Indian Government. I still see government schools, even hospitals, colleges with not apt drinking water facilities and toilets. Malnutrition in India compared to malnutrition in other developing nations like Indonesia and China have a big difference.

India clearly needs to spend much on water and sanitation facilities. At least before we jump ahead with our so called votebank oriented big reforms

Now the question arises, after so many critical negative indexes why doesn't the government think of water or sanitation problems?

The answer is simple, because it won't go much noticed in papers. India is such a nation, where visible development always looses to paper development.

The government can easily increase its subsidy to go with the food bill, but to provide sanitation and water facilities to the people; it will have to build drinking water systems and modern sanitation systems across the country. That has to be 'BUILT', which can't just be shown on papers. The first requires subsidizing, while second requires building. The first required budgetary provisions while second require technical and professional help from the top to the bottom. The first can be worked out with the current Public Distribution System (PDS) while second one requires a professional machinery to keep an eye. The first one is a customary nature of our political class while the second one requires hard changes in governance.

The eagerness to spend more on food subsidy than to use money to install sanitation and drinking systems, captures the eyes of voters more, and becomes a vote-catcher for the political hub, specifically UPA. The Manmohan Singh government has spent approximately 11 Trillion on subsidies since 2004. Subsidies have least benefited the poorest of the people, but they have rather supplied to the interests of some in power. The best example is subsidies in fuel, in diesel to be specific, which have benefited even the rich SUV owners.

The union government has spent 2 trillion for Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Scheme (MNREGA). No doubt it has benefited the rural poor. But a question comes, wouldn't it have been better if the same money was spent on rural roads and irrigation projects, which the government thinks foreign companies would do when they run into a joint venture through FDI (a more controversial topic). Perhaps, the government has been not keen to invest in capital expenditure, perhaps the politics and vested interest doesn't allow it.

The Indian policies have at large carried a political message, with overwhelming preference to subsidies over public goods. The league of getting votes is given more importance than long-term beneficial programs. The economists of Indian government love to ignore social economics, but try finding way to implement what the high command demands.

Food security bill will be debated in the parliament, and might get passed. If it doesn't then ordinance is always an option with the UPA. Not to forget, an ordinance on food security bill will be the biggest insult to the democratic setup of the nation as ordinance are issued in some special cases, not for political benefits.

If some bill can get passed for votes, if food can be subsidized, there can also be a day when the government decides to lift the subsidy calling it 'reform'. Think, and understand the political benefits the UPA wants to get from the food security bill, and chose what's more necessary for the majority. Also, don't forget the PDS we have, is dipped into corruption from head to toe. A scheme so big, with so much funding, will only buck the pockets of bureaucrats and their political brothers.

Since When Naveen Pattnaik Is Daydreaming?

2013-06-13T14:45:00.001+05:30

Every time the general election looms large, it brings about that rare seriousness among political parties. It also brings many comics to the fore as well. At least in last two editions, including the one that we are hoping to have in 2014, one major laughing stock that gets skirted is the possibility of a non-congress, non-bjp third front. Last time that was just a nameless third front which now have reincarnated itself with a name coined by Mamata Banarjee; the federal front.

As expected, the possible constituents hooting for it now are the same, those were hooting for it back in 2009. The same SP, BSP, AIADMK, BJD and many more similar small regional parties hope to combine themselves to give a shocker to the two major political parties of the country. Mind the word ‘hope’ since last time they pretty much hoped the same, only to disintegrate even before they could start building something credible and noteworthy.

But any such claim of a third angle to our national politics calls for a debate, more so within the confinement of the A/C studios of our media houses. People get crazy with varied ideas and opinion, which at times suggest as if the people who may form any such front are eagerly waiting for the outcome of such debates. What else would justify the anxiety and tone employed in any such debates which gives an impression as if it is now that couple from the panel will exchange few blows to settle things? Even people who have got nothing to do with the first front, let alone third are routinely invited on primetime to throw at us their pennyworth as if without them we would have remained far less erudite than what we are now.

Anyway, coming back to the topic. For me, a third front is quite a possibility. That said, in our politics, possibility is what hardly matters. It is the probability that matters more. And if you ask me, what is the probability of a viable third front getting formed; then my guess is as good as anyone else’s. We are less probable to have a third front is for a simple reason. None, those who claim to come together have got any sense of togetherness or bonding to start with. There are reasons for such deductions. All the political parties who could group in are regional outfits. Their presence is only in handful states, most of the times one or at best in two. As far as working together is concerned, none of these parties have worked together in the past. So the understanding or the lack of it between these parties is anything but obvious. Second, they seldom have looked beyond issues that don’t affect their state, their political semantics or they themselves.

So all the parties of this so called proposed third front would have their own agendas, priorities and concerns. While Naveen Pattnaik may cry for industrial growth in Odisha, Nitish would be busy asking for aid and special status. Mamata Banarjee though highly unpredictable will be expected to come up with policies directly affecting the left while Mulayam may be full time engaged in formulating frameworks to release all the Muslims languishing behind bars on terror charges. Little told about the likes of Jayalalitha, Mayawati and Lalu would be better. One will be more interested in marrying off all her foster sons/daughters lavishly while another will keep on designating new lands to build her parks and memorabilia. Lalu as per his habit will look out for avenues to eat few tons of cattle food and few thousand community toilets and time permitting might play the role of head comic character of the coalition. I am not sure, if NCP will come into the fold, but if they, they would have their own set of interest which is very vast in itself. In such a diversified and colorful umbrella, one would be trivially fool to believe that they can walk together beyond three months; or may be less.

Another big, big problem that I see with the coalition is coming up with a leader of the group. Each one, from Mulayam to Naveen, Nitish & Lalu included, is a mass leader in their own terms. Each one of them is a crowd puller and potential numero uno in his/her state. Forget Mamata, she is a law unto herself; so is Mayawati. Each of them would definitely want to carry on the same clout going forward. None of them would appreciate to play a second fiddle to any of the other. Knowing someone like Mulayam, would anyone believe he will so easily let a Naveen or Nitish become the PM of the nation? Ditto is the case with Nitish and Naveen as well. They won’t allow anyone else to supersede them so easily either. And as far as I know Mamata, she may very well want a role of Sonia Gandhi altogether in the coalition. Variety of individuals and variety of aspiration, with none may not be agreeing to leave an inch to make way for a compromise to push in. As I mentioned, the lack of togetherness would never make these great regional leaders to forgo personal preferences for someone else. Not even for the larger cause.

Even if they come up with their unanimous leader (more unlikely than seeing a Rajnikanth movie and laws of physics gong hand-in-hand) I am sure all hell will break lose during portfolio distribution. Each party will want maximum representation in the government. Mamata may very well want Derek O’Brien be made the next home minister. Naveen may want his blue-eyed boy Jay Panda hooking up to the external affairs ministry. Mayawati may want both the coal as well railway ministry, looking at the opportunities these two ministries offer for mass looting. Well, if they agree to go for lucky draw then the matter could be different, else I don’t see how these chaps could decide on the portfolios without tearing each other’s Kurta in a fit of anger. On a serious note, if the decision of portfolios ends up being decided on the foreground of physical might; I see Jayalalitha in an enviable position.

To end the post, I have a small message for Naveen Pattnaik. Being from the state of Odisha, I feel it more than obligatory to let my CM know a very vital point. If the third successive term has blurred his vision and he finds himself at par with the towering personality of his father late Biju Babu, then he is sadly mistaken. If he thinks he has enough clout to make amends in national politics, then he is anything but fooling himself badly. I urge him to look at a certain Lalu Yadav and see where an ex CM has landed himself into. Just because he was once blurred with his power and thought he could make strides in national politics, he ended up losing all that he had; politically and otherwise. Hope, a clever chap like Naveen Pattnaik would learn from other’s mistakes, rather committing them himself. Enough said!!

Open Letter To LK Advani

2013-06-12T16:26:00.001+05:30

Dear Advaniji,

You disappointed me thrice in as many days in last week alone. Without wasting time in going round and round, let me crash on to the Mudda directly. First, being the patriarch of BJP you shouldn’t have resigned from all party posts, that too for a childish reason. If at all you were itching to write your resignation letter for some reason, you shouldn’t have taken that back quicker than you furnished them. You really made a mess of yourself, your party and of course your political wisdom.

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting such stupidity from a seasoned politician like you. Not at least someone who supposed to have learnt the fine art of politics from none other than Atal Bihari Vajpayee. That is like the best student of Sachin Tendulkar getting bowled by the likes of Piyush Chawala. Horrendous is the word I find to best describe your self-screwing up of last few days.

First, could you please explain your absence in Goa? Hang-on, we will go to that later but first, could you please tell me what your specific reservations against Narendra Modi are? I am sure, unlike many you won’t have any reservation with the so called Congress defined communal image of Modi. In fact as per the Congress definition, you are the original communal chap. Modi just modeled himself on you. No, this is not me but the stalwarts of Congress bitch around when both your and Modi’s name is taken in combination. For the same intelligent chaps of Congress, Modi in fact is the mirror reflection of Advani. Now one wonders, who can be the person on this earth who would have so much reservations against his own mirror image. Well that person perhaps goes by the name Lalkrishna Advani. No?

More than your flimsy resignation drama, it is your complete unwillingness to read the writing on the wall is what is more flabbergasting. Do you want us to believe that an astute politician like you just can’t realize the direction where the popularity wave is flowing? I am ready to believe Jesus Christ died of over drinking but not you realizing the popularity index of Narendra Modi, which could be more than the combined popularity of rest BJP bigwigs. I know the feeling and the hurt one feels when a three decade long hard work and aspiration is hijacked by a newcomer. I know how low it feels when the sweet fruit of persistent work is consumed by someone else while the person who has put in all the effort is asked to stand in a side and keep licking his lips. You feeling dejected after decades of effort is understandable and quite natural as well. But resignation? Seriously? That is like a game of cricket among a bunch of high school going kids; the owner of the bat always running away with the bat or blackmailing others to fall in line, if he isn’t made the captain of the team. Are you in the same league as these school kids, Advaniji?

The day NaMo won Gujarat for the third time; you seem to be in a mission to downgrade the achievements of your own most successful chief-minister. And you are supposed to be a mentor, or as it been touted by your support group. What kind of mentorship is this Advaniji? Just because you see your own position is threatened by a more competent person, you rather encouraging your disciple, you go ahead exercising your dirty tricks? That’s so funny, you know. Shivrajsingh Chauhan has done a great job as MP CM and no two ways about it but Narendra Modi hasn’t done any less either. But you conveniently take shelter of your anxiety and go on honoring each BJP CMs with praise, except NaMo as if he is as bad a CM as Lalu always was. Praising Raman Singh for his work shouldn’t anyway sound downplaying the good work of Modi; at least not from the words of the so called tallest leader of the party. But you got carried away. Didn’t you? This is so unexpected of an experienced politician like you. The great Advani getting so much carried away with greed for power that he just doesn’t want to accept the obvious. You did a Mulayamsingh right there. So unbelievable, I must admit.

Your internal tug of war with RSS is as clear as the honest land deals of Robert Vadra. But that fight should have been limited between you and the RSS. How does that make any bloody sense on your part to object every human being enjoying a good rapport with the Sangh? I just see a George W Bush Jr. kind of act there. Either you are with us or against seem the beeline statement you want to make at all RSS patronage candidates of BJP. Just because Narendra Modi is a blue eyed boy of RSS, he automatically becomes an enemy in your eyes? That is like Delhi police going ahead and thrashing all the Nepali boys of the locality since one Nepali is alleged to be involved in a bike theft. Are you at par with Delhi police, as far as IQ level is concerned, Advaniji? As human, more than a leader, you must decide which a bigger threat to your position is. The RSS or each one coming with a RSS background.

And please don’t cry foul on how Vajpayee was made the PM ahead of you. Don’t tell us how your tiresome Rath Yatra across India never benefited you but Atal Bihari Vajpayee instead. To put it plain and simple – Atalji always was a far superior candidate for the post than you. Same is the case now. As depicted above in the picture, you may be busy building that chair since 1990 but you simply is not fit for that. Call it destiny or natural justice; it is the fittest that always given the chance. Being a strong believer in Hindutwa, you must turn few leafs out of Mahabharata and read the chapter involving Pandu, Dhritarashtra and the throne of Hastinapur. To put it straight faced, Atalji was way better than you back then and Narendra Modi is way better than you now. As it is, you screwed up the chance you got during 2009. Hope one need not have to remind you of your failure and that too a bad one at that in 2009 general elections.

Now the time for BJP is to look out for changes. They are been out of power for last 10 years and one more failure in 2014 will see the party disintegrating like Pakistan. And I am sure, as one of the first few of the party, you won’t appreciate seeing your party going to oblivion like Kunal Hanshraj did from Bollywood. And the man who can bring back the shinning days of BJP is NaMo, whether you want to digest it or not. Few dreams remain a dream always, so be it. You seeing yourself as the PM of the nation lost its chances when you can’t make BJP win 150 seats even against an incumbent and worthless government during 2009. That election itself is a testimony that you should bundle all your dreams and park it in a corner and let the competent guys take charge. Enough gimmicks were thrown around by you in search of some vested interest. Time has come for all to rise above agendas and do what is best for the party, not individuals.

Honestly, for change to happen, bloodshed and sacrifice is imminent. Your resignation gimmick was exactly one of those. How I wished, Rajnath Singh would have accepted your drama gleefully and moved ahead in building a strong team for 2014 challenge than wasting his time cajoling you to take back your resignation.

Regards

A BJP Supporter.

Modi’s Elevation – Why Our Media Is Rattled?

2013-06-10T13:14:00.000+05:30

This is a Maxi Post

A lot of people were waiting eagerly. Most of the lot from Congress camp and our media, even lost their sleep over the weekend. As expected the Goa BJP meet left a lot of people in jittery and restlessness over the last three days. Knowing how badly they have governed and how precariously their winning prospect in 2014 general elections is placed, the entire Congress party was expected to be a lot nervous but why our media was equally nervous; or even more?

More nervous than the Congress party in fact were their mouthpieces. From NDTV to Headlines Today, CNN-IBN included, were as anxious as an average class Xth student waiting in front of the board office for the results to come out. Why is that so? Whether Modi gets elevated or not; how that affects our media so much that they would be so edgy? While the reaction of all our prime anchors were more irritating than the pathetic discussions that went on all channels whole through yesterday, I was kind of busy deducing the exact reasons of any such frantic reactions, that too for a pure internal matter of BJP. A long thought led me to believe; along with Congress our media even feels insecure of their future with the advent of a certain Narendra Modi to the national political scene. While Congress sees a serious drubbing in 2014 general elections, our media sees the prospect as a potential destroyer of all the easy money sources that they are so used to. It is no secret that once NaMo gets to where a majority of the nation wishes him to, the survival would be far more difficult for many media houses as the money fountains would dry up at once. One can guess how badly few media houses like NDTV & CNN-IBN will end up in. Organizations which never had shown profit in their decade old presence but still running their business without any hiccups only points to the directions from where easy money is pumped into them to continue peddling all the lies that help Congress leech onto the power.

So as a desperate measure, the entire event of NaMo getting appointed as BJP’s 2014 election committee chief was overshadowed by a bunch of worried lot from the Congress party and their friendly media by continuously hampering on non-issues and trying their best to project a divide within BJP because of this decision. To their benefit, the absence of LK Advani and an early exit of Sushma Swaraj from the conclave played a great fodder to snowball trivial issues to bigger proportion, even if that means sidelining the main news of the day. The idea was to mislead the nation so that the impact of NaMo remains as minimal as possible. Whether they have succeeded in skirting mountain of a mole is not yet clear but for sure it degraded the ethics that surrounds journalism to a great extent.

When it comes to misleading the nation, who else other than Digvijay Singh can better that than our Priminister? There you go. The permanent jackal was at it again, that too quite early in the morning. Guess there was a lot of sleeplessness among few. For a change LK Advani got a sympathizer in Diggy Raja from nowhere. Diggy finds BJP an ungrateful party for dumping its founder. But you know what; few people even forget their own history while big mouthing morality. Not a long back, the same Diggy was instrumental in bringing Sonia Gandhi to the Congress helm through backdoor and kicking a loyal and aged Sitaram Keshri unceremoniously. Very grateful act was that on the part of Congress party. No? Or everything is fair in love, war and opportunity for licking few dynasty asses? BJP shifting the baton from the aged lot to its younger brigade is an act of baloney while Manmohan Singh announcing to leave the seat for Rahul Baba, every second day is an exemplary statesmanship. Forgetting true Congress greats like Subash Bose, Sardar Patel and Lalbahadur Shastri but keep worshiping the Nehru dynasty is a show of gratitude while LK Advani had been asked to give way for the new set of leaders is back stabbing? I think, the sycophants do have an entirely different definition of morality and gratitude.

While Diggy started the shit playing, our media joined in to the party to take away the topic to a whole new level of nonsense. Sekhar Gupta may not be on Twitter but his lieutenant Prabhu Chawal was working overtime to compensate his master’s absence. And those who don’t know how big a posterior licker this Sekhar Gupta is, then I would advise them all to go through the history of this sycophant. So for Chawla, NaMo’s elevation is far less important a news to discuss than the absence of Vajpayee’s and Advani’s pictures from BJP official banners. How observant this guy is. No? Hope in the same length he must also have marked the absence of Bose, Patel, Shatri or even Narashimha Rao from the Congress banners during Chintan Sivir. Or once the dynasty is captured, Nehru and down in the pictorial depictions, it doesn’t really matter even if the great old man and the original Gandhi is forgotten? Who allows such deliberate storytellers to hold important posts in our media is beyond me? Or has it got something to do with this Chwla family name as I find all Chwlas, from Navin to Piyush at the same usefulness level?

When it comes to Modi hating can you really leave the ‘Congress ke taraf se thoda defend kardena’ girl too far behind? Well, no and she proves it in this tweet of hers. She is another of those sold out lots who find Advani’s absence is the news of the day, not the real one. Dictionary visual of irony she says. Really? By the way; what is this infatuation for banners with Prabhu Chwala and Barkha Dutt? While the former talks about the absence of few the later talks about the presence of some. Honestly, can’t blame her since she must be used to see the pictures of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi at all the inappropriate places. What the contribution of Rahul Gandhi in the matters of healthcare policies that one wishes to have him in all official banners of infant safety mission? She doesn’t find Rahul or Sonia’s image on the billboards of National Highway authorities as a dictionary visual of irony when it is Atal Bihari Vajpayee who kick started the project. She doesn’t find Sonia’s images on planning commission bulletin while she doesn’t absolutely have any contribution for the same as an act of irony. Only irony that the original paid journalist finds is Advani’s image on BJP’s banner. How silly it can ever get than this?

Like Barkha, the numero uno can’t be too far behind either. This man was having his own set of problems, thankfully nothing related to the banners and billboards though. He rather took the responsibility of reading through all the tweets of BJP chaps and come to his own conclusions. Look at the parallel he draws between the independent India’s first certified sycophant with the present BJP national spokesperson Tarun Vijay. In his intellectual brilliance he forgets to note that while Baruah’s utterance was laced with crooked buttering, Tarun was more euphoric with NaMo’s elevation. More off, Tarun’s tweet congratulating the nation has a context behind it while Baruah was all but desperate to showcase his rear licking abilities just like that. But do you expect sense of judgment from our sold out media? Certainly not and that’s what Rajdeep Sardesai proved yet again beyond any doubt. Modi as the new Indira, he asks. Not sure whom he was projecting bad. Was he asking if Modi is as bad as Indira was or was it a plain goof up in excitement? Goof up because indirectly bad imaging the lead Mai-Baap of Congress might hamper his extraneous source of incomes.

Ditto is the case with Numero Uni, the first lady of our media circle. Someone correctly said, when there are no ways left, the morons turn philosophical at once. Her dual convenience with respect to social media was at it again. At times she finds, social media as a tool too powerful to build fake rapport like that of Modi while this time she questions if the support that pours in for NaMo in places like Twitter and Facebook are good enough a yardstick to judge his popularity on the ground. Again, I can’t blame her since our media is master in making fake tweeter accounts to tweet in support of their agendas as showing the same fake tweets during their shows helps them peddle the lies in a better way. Hence it’s all but natural for her to think Modi employing the same mechanism to garner lakhs of followers and supporters as a testimony to his popularity. How self-explanatory few become with their habitual conspiracy mongering habit. No? And by the way, I never saw her mentioning other cartoons of Ajit Ninan highlighting various scams that UPA is neck deep in or the puppets in Congress that perpetually lie on the ground to lick some Italian feet.

Rahul Kanwal is another who is fast learning the act of rear licking; faster than anyone ever did in our media history. People who support NaMo within BJP and outside are suffering from a virus, he feels while jokers lining up for spit licking in front of Rahul Baba is an act of bravery. I never saw him commenting on the hoard of sheep lining up in front of 10 Janpath to take the blame of UP electoral failure. I don’t see him explaining the exact virus those hundreds are infected with who readily appreciate a chance to clean Sonia’s toilet bowls with their tongues. I don’t blame him either because the media house he belongs is always seen on the first row and drooling heavily for their throwaway from the dynasty every now-and-then. So he is strategically placed there to figure out the kind of virus that the BJPwalas are infected with and the possible cures that Rajnath Singh can employ but not the drool droppers, those otherwise are seen crowding in front of Sonia Gandhi’s residence.

Even the panelists in all such discussions were full with people who have made a living by just hating Modi. For them, the facts and proofs well laid out are smoke-screens. It doesn’t matter if Gujarat now stands at a different league, compared to all Congress ruled states. It doesn’t matter if the minorities feel safer in Gujarat than the so called secular Congress ruled states. It doesn’t matter if the social stature index in Gujarat is a dream for any other state of India. It doesn’t matter if the big business houses rally behind NaMo and hail his governance for providing the most conducive environment for doing business. All that matter was the malnutrition in the state. Hang on, that was during Gujarat elections and the ploy failed badly as well. Now what the Aakar Patels of the world have come up with is something different. Now the outcry is for the number of Hindi medium schools outnumbering the English medium schools of the state. How such people who are so serious about our education system fail to see the absence of a decent college in Rahul Gandhi’s own constituency Amethi? Or they aren’t paid for that? How the nonexistence of enough schools in Congress ruled states are ignored while the discussion hovers around the number of different medium schools in Gujarat; is clandestine to say the least. Ohh, yes, we don’t have enough call centers in Gujarat as well; that is another proof how badly NaMo has failed as a chief minister. Now what is left there to blame Modi of his bad, bad governance? May be a missing Gujarat team in IPL?

All-in-all, it was a hilarious day. A day where we saw a lot of jokers coming out of their holes and going viral with a lot of lie peddling. Media hooted for these jokers as that is where there interest lies. A Congress-Free and Congress-Dalal-Free India means a doomsday for these Media Crooks. The effort to play down Modi force was so forceful that a bug with his IQ in the negative, going by the name Sanjay Jha was hopping from one news channel to another and displaying how badly he was suffering from verbal diarrhea. Hope Rahul Kanwal finds a way out for the cure of this disease.

The Systematic Lie Peddling Called Bharat Nirman

2013-06-07T13:52:00.000+05:30

When I was in college doing engineering, I marked a systematic approach with a bunch of my classmates, every time the exam dates were announced. Terming that as ‘approach’ would be an understatement since it should be best put as hysteria. Hysteria to cover up many things in a short time including reading through the semester books they never opened in last six months. Seldom have they achieved anything with such last minute panic. Hence, invariably always they end up choosing the easy path of cheating as the means to score their points. Morality and ethics goes out of the window when rest all will be busy preparing for their papers next day, this moronic lot would be busy tearing up pages from the text books and placing them strategically in different body parts for the upcoming challenge. Someday they would succeed in fooling the authorities and someday they won’t. Bottom-line, their engineering life was based on cheating and flouting lies every now-and-then.

I see the same approach.. err hysteria with this UPA government; more precisely the Congress party. Every time the prospect of elections, legislative or assembly looms large, Congress goes on a tizzy of hysteria to accomplish many things in a short span. As expected they never achieve their initial goal and end up telling lies and employ various means of cheating. Both in person or otherwise. What else you will call the contents of this tweet of mine? May be a grand political hysteria where we see an incompetent government, neck deep in corruption charges, trying its best to cheat the nation with a lot of lie peddling. Like the friends of my engineering college, it is that last minute frantic attempt at covering up their avalanche of nonperformance under colorful lies in the name of Bharat Nirman. Whether they would be successful in fooling the masses yet again or not is a separate debate, the manner they believe they can hoodwink the nation with these flimsy grandstanding is commendable.

630 crores is what this corrupt government is planning to spend. While the whole attempt is diabolic to say the least, it is hilarious to know that such a big amount would be spent by the government to alert people on things they have done for them. 630 crores? Seriously? For me, this itself clears at least one thing; the government has actually done nothing in these four years or may be nine years. Had they have achieved a tenth of what they are showing in their advertisements, the nation wouldn’t have to be told of things they gained because of such outstanding governance. People would have seen them happening in front of them. People would have felt the development in their gut. I agree you require advertising your achievements at times but spending 630 crores on them shows that, you actually are advertising lies instead of truth. Because truth seldom requires this much amount to prove itself. I am sure a good 70% of what UPA wants to peddle through this ‘Bharat Nirman’ nonsense is untruth. One more interesting thing that emerges from this HT column is that, the money this UPA government is planning to waste in spraying perfume on their otherwise rotting achievements is sponsored by the same public whom this whole exercise is aimed at fooling. Why else a finance committee is required to approve the same, had it been from the Congress coffers? That is another insult-to-the-injury. First a party gets engaged fulltime in looting public money and then to cover up their loot they spend few more hundred crores of public money again to come up with divisive advertisements. How absurd things can get has a new definition henceforth I guess.

Let’s keep aside the matter of morality; as it is expecting the same from Congress is a real tough ask. Let’s rather concentrate on the lies they peddle through these BN advertisements. The best that BN offers as a lie is the one where a bunch of villagers listen with their mouth open when another of them explains what he saw when he was in Delhi. Honestly, if after 65 odd years of independence, citizens get a jaw dropping experience by hearing about something called escalators, then it shows how pathetic we were all this while with our development. And who ruled for the most part of these 65 years? Rather showing advertisements which are potential of erupting laugh riots, Congress should have been ashamed of their misdeeds. But again shamelessness is another trademark of Congress and we should leave them with that.

Back to the advertisements. So it is the Congress that brought Metro Rail to India. Much like all the good things, including law-and-order, it is the Mai-Baap of Congress party (read Gandhi family) whom we should thank for the metro rail as well. If you rewind back a little, it is the year 2002 that we first saw metro in Delhi. And who was at center during that period? Definitely Congress, no? Even the first metro that came to India in Kolkatta was because of Congress and Gandhi family, even though it was the CPM that was ruling in the state that time. Such melancholic big mouth liars these Congress stooges are. All that they want is to fool the people in believing the magnanimity of Gandhi family in shaping India and all those sacrifices tucked therein; Chacha Nehru and down till Robert Vadra. As a sample, let’s look at the proposed Bengaluru Metro project for which the Congress party wants to run away with all the credits. A simple revenue sharing (published in Bengaluru Metro Corporation’s official website) report would suggest the amount of lies that is peddled through the advertisement. It is only 25% that the government is funding for the whole project while the state government (govt of Karnataka) is funding 30%. Even in the revised cost, the funding of central government is reduced to 23.47% while state’s funding share increased to 31.16%. And which party was in power when the MOU for the project with the above mentioned funding pattern was signed between the state and the center? Even if BJP was never credited for this project, the Congress hacks want to shower themselves with all the credit by spewing lies in the BN advertisements. Hope they do take note of the escalators at every Bengaluru Metro station to continue having jaw dropping expressions among the rural villages of Karnataka.

Ditto is the case with our National Highway projects. Though Atal Bihari Vajpayee is the person with the vision of golden quadrangle and kick started the project without much noise, Congress wants to even credit themselves for what Vajpayeeji did during his tenure. No sooner Congress got back to power in 2004; Vajpayee’s pictures were taken off from all the mega road projects and replaced by those of Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh or at places with those of Rahul Gandhi even. That is how a mega lie is brewed at grassroots level to sabotage the truth. Idea is very simple – to project the Mai-Baap of Congress as the Mai-Baap of the entire nation; specifically for the poor and illiterate of our villages whom the Congress always wants to remain perpetual poor and illiterate.

Look at the landing page of this Bharat Nirman baloney. Look at each bullet points, or the so called steps required for Bharat to be Nirmaned in its entirety. Do you see supplying of healthy drinking water or some nonsense to that effect at the top? Hope you have seen how people in Maharashtra were begging for water from the tankers that were watering the highway side plants. If this is what the state of this drinking water supply target in a state ruled by the Congress, you can imagine how precarious it would be in other non-congress ruled states. Not only the drinking water but each and every bullet point in the page tells a story of a bigger lie that it hides. A quick glance at the details of different departments catering to each bullet point will tell you how seasoned liars these Congress stooges are. Each of the details present in the official Bharat Nirman site is far, far from the ground reality. As like their abjured and morphed website, the TV commercials are also full of gossip, lies and false grandstanding with a sole intention of fooling the nation.

How I wish we had something similar here as what Florida does have back there. Imagine how many of these Congress liars would have been cooling their heels behind bars because of their pan India regular public and digital farting. I am sure if our police get strict as their counterparts of Florida, most of these Congress morons would find themselves in a very volatile situation. When I say most, that includes their heir apparent to start with; who in fact is the fart master of the party, closely followed by the likes of Digvijay Singh and Kapil Sibal.

Political Parties Under RTI – A Great Time Pass

2013-06-05T12:10:00.000+05:30

In other news, I am told, Central Information Commission has dropped a bomb. The effect of the bomb spreads across all political parties. In a jovial outburst, the CIC has directed the major six political parties to come within the ambit of Right To Information act, 2005 and has given six weeks to fall in line with their directive.

That is quite an ask for most of our political parties, looking at the manner they manage themselves. It was all but expected to have a voice of dissent among our political parties against any such directives for obvious reasons. No wonder, it has to be Congress that opposed the move the very next second CIC’s bulletin come to the public domain. Followed soon was Mulayam Singh’s Samajwadi Party. Another expected outcry. Ditto is the case with CPI (M) but their outcry was far less expected since I genuinely believe, none of their politburo members have anything fishy to hide. The only party that seems gracefully accepting the proposition is the BJP. This again was not on the expected lines since I am sure, a transparency within might just tumble out as many skeletons from BJP’s closet as for any other political party of India. BJP’s unconditional welcome could hence be an attempt to project themselves as ‘A party with a difference’, more so when we are less than a year away from the general elections. Let the skeletons take care of themselves could be the idea as exhibiting oneself clean like Dettol in the season of scams could have bigger advantages than the combined reparations that all the tumbling skeletons could bring in. A calculative risk on the part of BJP may be.

How the political parties are reacting to the news is not the point. Let the political parties calculate their profit-loss statement the way they want. The question that kicks my mind is why I see the kind of jubilation among a section of people? Is there really anything in the ruling to be so much delighted about? For those who believe, this directive is as path breaking as installing the first lady president in the form of Pratibha Patil then I would urge them to get out of this post right about now. Because for me, as an individual, the said ruling will create more mess than cleaning the existing ones. If at all anything, the directive will bring about a lot of information into the public domain which most of us never care about or to say the least, are as useful for us as the NAC is for an effective governance.

For starters, the management of all (I mean it) political parties is a black box for most of us. Unless you are one Barkha Dutt types with a career vision of a power broker at some point in your life cycle, the internal management of political parties in India is not that relevant even. We know how our political parties are structured and a conservative guess would tell us that it is only rot that we will find if we try to dig within. Almost all major parties are democratic for the heck of it where as it is more like a dynasty with most of the time a family ruling over it. Be it Congress, SP, BJD, DMK, TDP, JD(S), SAD, Sivsena and many more. They are nothing but dynasties cleverly masqueraded as democratic establishments. No wonder, who would be calling the shots in their respective parties. Can we ever imagine the sycophants of Congress even showing displeasure, let alone disobeying, any orders of the queen or the youth icon? Same is the case with DMK. Have you ever heard anyone opposing Karunanidhi or Bal Thakray even for their craziest of decision making? Can anyone override the decisions of the Badals or Naveen Pattnaik? Simply No. This is how our political parties are run. With an individual or a family at the top making all the decisions while the rest are there for making up the numbers. In a crowd of such pathetic coward bootlickers and jokers, do we really see anything worthy and interesting coming out through RTI? I doubt.

Now for those who believe, through this you can get to know where Mrs. Gandhi got treated for her cancer or where Rahul Baba flies out every month then let me assure you; you are in for the disappointment of your life. As per a clause in the RTI act, political parties can block any such spicy information by terming them as classified personal details. And to be honest, we don’t have any authority to know where Sonia Gandhi gets treated as long as the money spent on this visage is not paid by the exchequer. And yes, you are correct, since the Congress party has already clarified that the last penny spent on Mrs. Gandhi is from Congress coffers; we don’t have much of a debate there. And, for a change I do believe the Congress party here for a simple reason. When they have already looted and stuffed enough in lakhs of crores, why on earth they would consume peanuts of public money for their queen’s personal use? That too when there is a possibility of their queen’s image getting maligned in the event of a routine audit carried out by their opponents when they come to power. Same is the case with heir-apparent’s foreign trips. Do you think Rahul Gandhi needs your money to visit USA to meet his Colombian girlfriend or watch a game of NBA? You must be kidding, if you believe he does. For the sundry luxury of the present dynasty and perhaps the next seven generations to come, Congress party has accumulated enough public money via rampant looting a long time back; be rest assured.

So I am back to the question I started with. What we are going to achieve by this RTI? Know the minutes of meeting of each political party? Even if we get hold of them, I am sure those details would make a horrifying reading. Only thing that can happen going forward is the fresh opportunities the Arnav Goswamis of the world will get to scream for the smallest missing point in the minutes of the meeting. And looking at our political parties, how grossly the act would be misused is anybody’s guess. While we might not gain anything, we might end up hiring more people to just manage the whole RTI nonsense. As it is a good 12% of our government officers consume their entire time in replying to various information asked under RTI. If that is not enough, the whole thing could be a bad fodder for our media since they would conveniently skip more important news while busy airing the internal mismanagement of one political party or the other, 24/7 * 365. For heavens, I don’t want to hear Arnav screaming – ‘The nation wants to know why Rajnath Singh noted down the minutes, when it should be the responsibility of any of the general secretaries of the party’. Trust me, that would be for sure another TV Screen breaking moment; much like the post Eden Garden’s semifinal loss to Sri Lanka scenario.

On the contrary, why the queen has to travel to USA for treatment? Don’t we have qualified doctors or facilities here at home? But I thought the ‘Bharat Nirman’ advertisements tell an entirely different story. I was with an impression that now Barrack Obama might come to India instead, for his treatment once he is through any of the BN adds. Sigh!! So disappointed to say the least.

Why Infosys Is Destined To See The Worse

2013-06-04T14:31:00.000+05:30

Though I myself an IT Coolie and doing this Cooliegiri for last decade and half, I generally never write about technology, policies of different IT companies or for that matter the so called visionary motor mouths that most of these IT companies house in their top brass. That said people do change their personal preferences when occasion or situation arises. Now that one of such show-baaz desi companies called Infosys is all but shaken upside-down, it more than looks tempting to point out the flaws that are very basic and rampant at each layer of Infosys structure. The dismal position that the once high flying company finds itself now, calls for an elaboration on the precise reasons why the second largest IT exporter of the nation now struggling hard to remain afloat five years down the line.

For starters, I do see a lot of similarity between Congress party and Infosys. Since both of them are prevalent in Indian minds for a long, long time, a general sense of arrogance has cropped into their veins. Now that I have compared Infosys with Congress party, I must explain how. To start with, surprisingly though, I see the reasons for declining reputation of these two organizations are more-or-less similar in nature. Well, you can strike out corruption from the list of comparable. First example of taking things for granted (typical Congress attitude) and that false sense of numero-uno on the part of Infosys comes as a case study of clear blindness on how their competitors are doing. Nonetheless one can argue if CTS is an Indian company or not but they certainly had taken over Infosys’s position as the number-2 in India a long time back. While CTS going ahead to topple Infosys from that position never came as a surprise to me, I was surprised how the so called visionaries of Infosys couldn’t see this coming. That too a challenge so prudent from a company established much, much later than Infosys. However we should give credit where it is due, but CTS’s phenomenal rise is more because of Infosys’s self-screwing up than CTS’s own growth. When I say this, I say it with conviction as I have few clear bullet points laid out before me to suggest, whatever Infosys is going through now is a homegrown affair and at best a self-inflicted disease. Let’s go through them one by one.

Open Communication:

This is where I see arrogance and only arrogance on the part of Infosys’s top brass. I attribute this communication or lack of it as the reason number-1 for a lot of people, who have some stake in the company to get annoyed. And those stake holders start with the investors and culminate at the employee who was just recently been hired from some engineering college after fed with lot of carrots. Earlier Infosys used to have quarterly presentations for their investors to show how the business is going. To round up the year, along with quarterly meets Infosys used to have a year ending chit-chat with its investors to go through the balance sheet and numbers. These meets were more than handy for both parties since it not only brought about that much needed transparency but also was acting a good confidence booster. Even, employees up to certain level were kept abreast with all such investor meets to remain in line with company’s progress/decline.

But God only knows why Infosys’s board decided to do away with this very habit once Sibulal came to the helm. If I am not mistaken, they in fact stopped interacting with their investors during the last phase of Krish Gopalkrishnan as CEO. While the less critical ones see strategy in any of such moves, I see a Congress like arrogance. Just because Infosys managed to deliver on promise to its shareholders for decade’s altogether, the board of Infosys thought themselves to be a bunch of highly invincible entities. They believed the investors will continue to wag their tails in and around Sibulal and drool around during the quarterly financial announcements for their booty. How similar the attitude is with respect to Congress and the general voters. No? But thankfully, the investors are little smarter than the average Indian voter. In a matter of 7 quarters many loyal tail wagers have left the Infosys ship for greener pastures and if the inside traders are to be believed, a major chunk of the drawn out investment from Infosys were injected in to either HCL, Wipro or CTS. This is where Infosys started to lose the plot. Close to 2.1 billion USD has been drawn out of Infosys tank in last year and half alone. The diminishing investment has affected the annual compensation graph the wrong way. It is no secret that in an IT company, it is the investor’s money that goes for the payouts of its employees while the generated money goes for growth, paying dividends and accumulating liquid asset. A query about the annual appraisal and the subsequent constipated look on every employee of Infosys would give a good idea of dissatisfaction level.

Proper Cash Management:

4 billion is the liquid asset that Infosys is told to have in their bank accounts. Even though the amount looks big, for a company having 1.5 lakhs of direct employees, the amount looks paltry. The amount even looks more horrible when compared with Infosys’s so called rivals. In a quest to hire fresher in order to keep the share price at the premium level, the think tank of Infosys got engaged in mindless infrastructure development. Honestly, Infosys or for that matter any IT company seldom requires the truck load of sheeps they hire from third graded engineering colleges every year. While for the competitors the new hire system looks somewhat logical, for Infosys it looks more like a chronic disease. No wonder why the employee payouts increased by 27 basis points for Infosys while in the same period it decreased by 65 basis points for TCS. The once carrot infatuated blokes of the engineering colleges now have become a big pain in the back of Infosys. A conservative estimate would put the number of fresher in Infy payroll, anywhere around 30%. These are the cost centers for Infosys without generating any money for self-sustenance. Now that Narayana Murthy is dragged into the mess to do the much needed clean up job, the poor souls who roam around the Bangalore streets putting Infosys T-Shirts on weekends are for sure in for a surprising jolt.

A high cost in retaining nonproductive assets does have reparations on the investor satisfaction index. And in case of Infosys a high number of nonproductive employees has resulted in the declined dividends amounts that Infosys pays out to its investors. For the last four quarters the dividends that are been paid out are anything but dismal. There is a sharp decline of 9% in the average dividend payout money over a year and half. No surprise that in the same period there are a lot of loyal investors those have slammed their doors on Infosys board of directors. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is one such entity, I am told.

Restructuring Growth:

With 4 billion in the booty, I don’t see much growth prospect for Infosys. Not at least, if they don’t decide to shed away with their nonproductive baggage in a hurry. The growth of Infosys internally looks nothing less than a miracle to me. Only way that I see Infy can aspire to grow is by some aggressive takeover policies. But looking at the cash in hand in comparison to the useless block of employees they have to cater every month, it looks highly unlikely if Infosys is in a position now to even takeover a two room based startup. I am sure, there won’t be many in their regular investor’s list those who would fancy the idea of Infosys’s big takeover strategies. Looking at the return the investors have got from Infosys in last couple of years, I am sure there would be more apprehensive chaps at the other side of the fence than confident ones. Even the prevailing volatile situation of our economy isn’t helping Infosys’s cause either. There immediate dissatisfaction on the appointment of a garbage as the new IT minister of Karnataka is a good enough indicator, how Infosys as a whole is desperate for some positive changes to come. But alas!! Changes come when there is an effort inside-out. Hope the big mouths; the presidential aspirants in the company understand this basic idiom of functional management.

Cost Cutting:

Not sure how they are going to achieve it. Only way that I see this happening is through massive layoffs across board. If the plans of cost cutting only focus on employee expenditures then I am afraid, they might have to chop a good third of their total strength. This for me looks highly unfeasible as it will further diminish the minimal confidence that the investors are having on Infosys. Another way that I see is tremendously reducing their onsite strength. For this to happen, first a substantial effort should go in convincing the clients of this new offshore-onsite delivery model where one would see a handful mules operating from onsite, instead of the earlier truck loads. And I am sure, that would be one heck of a task in itself. For sure, a cunning man like Narayana Murthy must be pondering about this option. Along with the useless fresher lot, the jackasses who believe they are sent to USA by their company to update their facebook profile with pathetic images of them in front of Niagara fall in different angles; are in for a shocking surprise as well. On a lighter note, those bloody Desi-Firangis need such brutal treatment anyway.

All in all, Infosys is in an unenviable spot. And blame should go straight to the numero-uno thought process these so called founders always showcased. Starting from Narayana Murthy and down, except Nandan, all are big mouths of best grade. A certain Mohandas Pie and his daily blabbers on TV for anything is a great indicator of what I am precisely pointing at. I had expected this arrogance would one day land up Infosys in a more precarious position than that of Sreesanth. Not to mention, I tried to highlight this arrogance among Infosys top brass in an open letter to Mr. Narayana Murthy. The letter never reached his desks it seems.

For Congress It Is All About Saffron Terror

2013-06-03T10:45:00.000+05:30

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

As you represent the whole government, it’s very valid to address this letter to you. You have the responsibility to answer the entire nation or at least the Majority of our national citizens about your government's successful inclusion of the so called 'SAFFRON TERRORISM' phrase. In all these years of thorough investigations, most of the times pre-laced with prejudice and malicious agendas; still your government couldn't manage to prove the cases against Sadhvi Pragya Singh, Col Colnoel Purohith and Swami Aseemananda for the so called nonexistent phenomenon called "SAFFRON TERRORISM"? Don't you think there is a lot of consigned interest, in the manner National Investigation Agency (NIA) was so extra apprehensive to name Sahdvi Pragya Singh and Swami Aseemananda in 2008 Malegoan Blasts?

This is very evident that, there is a lot of foul play in the name of secularism and appeasement as for most of your stooges in the government it is maligning Hindus and Hindu sentiments is what stamps them as true seculars. If I can be little sober, it is your government which is in fact trying to snub the majority (read Hindus) of our nation from the day you unfortunately came to the helm in 2004. And the manner in which many of your lieutenants made it a routine affair to spew venom against Hindus for vote bank is for everyone to see. Honestly, we have seen enough hate speech from the so called intellects like Digvijay Singh, Abdul Rahman Antuley to believe them to be stray and individual opinions.

Let me give you some of the ignominious statements that your esteemed colleagues gave and that too on open platforms:

When Osama Bin Laden was killed and the body of the moron was thrown into Sea; what Digivjay Singh said is very stupid of him, to say the least. He went on calling Osama as 'Osamaji' and urged the American government to conduct the proper funeral rituals for him. When a person has been declared as a global terrorist and perhaps the main reason for thousands of deaths, a so called ex CM of your party goes ahead painting a messiah out of the rascal is not only flabbergasting but a way lot insane. While as per records the last rights were duly performed, the only reason why his body has been disposed to sea is, nobody in the world should build a memorial for him, as he is considered a Martyr by many from the religion of peace and may be many like Diggy Raja of your party. So, what is the color of terrorism is this one Dr. Singh?

When Owaisi called the terrorist KASAV as "Bachcha", what did your government do? Just sent him to judicial custody for few days? Seriously? You may be a lame duck and too power hungry to object but our countrymen want to know from Mr. certain Owaisi is this; a killer, who shot more than 150 people in the name of jihad, looks "Bachcha" to him. I agree, looking at your stature, you don’t even have a say among your own party men, let alone some scoundrel from another party but aren’t your party enjoying an alliance in the Hyderabad municipality corporation with Owaisi’s notorious outfit? Have you even advised the moron to refrain from uttering nonsense that has the potential to hurt a lot of sentiments? Being a senior member of the alliance your behavior in cajoling with the likes of Owais post his blabber is anything but suspicious.

Ditto is the case with Yasin Malik. A Thug that he is; he with an Indian VISA went to Pakistan and hobnobbed with another global terrorist and mastermind of 26/11, Hafeez Saeed openly to protest against the hanging of Afzal Guru. What did the government do? You even don’t find the revocation of his VISA a much needed step to teach the moron a lesson or two on patriotism and responsible citizenry. What kind of state sponsored terrorism is this Dr. Singh?

Having such brainless maniacs in and around your party, you guys are highlighting the non-existing SAFFRON TERRORISM. If all these blabbers weren’t just enough, this Diggy went a step ahead and termed RSS a terror organization. As a responsible citizen of this nation, I am spellbound at your easy going against terrorism. When you have heap of evidences against the terror organizations like SIMI, AL-QAEDA, HUJI, INDIAN UJAHIDDEEN, you seldom show any interest to act against them but conveniently draw imaginary attributes to fool and misguide the nation. That is so funny, you know?

In Samjota Express Blast, there are intelligence reports from both India and America, which says that Lashkar-E-Taiyaba's member Arif Kasmani is involved. Do you remember this report? Does anyone in your party remember the findings? Based on these reports, in 2009, Lashkar has been blacklisted as a terrorist organization. But conviniently looking the other way for vote bank, your government is still chanting the Saffron Terrorism Mantra. Governance and safety for the citizens is not seems to be the primary motto of your government but politicizing terrorism and maligning Hindus is. To say the least you should be ashamed of yourself to represent this government.

In 1984, in the name of 'Blue Star' operations, people who supported congress and party workers killed more than 3000 sikhs. Not surprising that the sufferers are yet to get any kind of closure but what surprising was how Rajiv Gandhi justified it back then. “Some riots took place in the country following the murder of Indiraji. Some riots? 3000 got killed in 72 hours and that too in the capital and our PM just washes it off by saying ‘Some Riots’? What does such insensitive comments justify Dr. Singh? Obliviousness or accomplishment? And what is that ‘Big Tree Falls’ nonsense? How dearly I want some elitist Congress men to come forward and explain the meaning of such horrendous comments to us lesser mortals.

Anyway, back to the topic. Let’s concentrate on the saffron terrorism. Can anyone from the government or its investigative wings ever found any concrete evidence against the Hindu group/s that you guys are accusing of treason and involved in terror activities? Whether you remember or not, but the former chief advisor of National Security Group (NSG), now the Governor of West Bengal state, M.K.NARAYAN said once; there are more than 800 terrorist organizations operating in the country. Have you ever worked on these scary inputs of former NSG chief? Or at least can you point out; out of these 800 odd which one is a saffron terror outfit?

Unfortunately our former Home Minister, don't know what is saffron and its importance to Indians. We proudly represent saffron as one of the colors in our national flag. Have you or your stooges cared to know why? It is to represent our nation's pride, power and purity. We citizen of India always believed in UNITY IN DIVERSITY and will continue to do so but you guys are sabotaging it by creating 'DIVIDE’ among the citizens in the name of religion. But surprising enough, rather looking within you guys go ahead blaming the rest of the world for playing religion based politics. So funny, I tell you.

With all honesty, you are no more than a puppet for me. You may be the priminister of India, but I can clearly say that; you have been just used as a tool to fulfill the congress agenda and nothing else. Hope you ponder on this revelation when you are free from taking dictations from 10 Janpath, Italy or wherever.

Let’s Play Ostrich

2013-05-31T12:05:00.000+05:30

I have jokingly said this many times. Our national pass time is playing Ostrich. Hey, hang-on; did I just use the word ‘jokingly’? The line which when I used for the first time in one of my blogs, it was only an attempt at a sarcastic representation of our psyche. Little did I know then that I am actually scribing a rude reality quite unknowingly. Since the day I used the line for the first time, till today, I was more than just minutely observing our pan India behavior and to put it mildly; we all are nothing but a big colony of Ostriches. Leading the pack of Ostriches is our elected government of the day and of course all the notorious constituents of the Congress party; Sonia Gandhi and down.

Take example of our action/reaction or whatever after each terror attack. I always find it extremely funny; the way our politicians, starting with our priminister conduct themselves post any such horror. Little talked about absolute waste materials like R.R Patil is better since for him eventualities like 26/11 are ‘Bade, Bade Sehron main yese CHOTI baat hote rehte hain’. CHOTI baat? Really? Had that man possessed any shame, he should have quit politics after his boot out and had we guys have any shame then we wouldn’t have elected such a scumbag again, even if he fought any elections. But he as well as we rascals are shameless to the core, which is why he not only fought the next elections barely four months down but we also elected him wholeheartedly.

Anyway, back to the topic. So whenever a moron decides to blow his ass on a city square, killing dozen innocents with him; what our priminister offers as a consolation for the nation? Yes, he assures all of us that the perpetrators will not be spared and they would be severely punished. Or at times adding a ‘Theek Hai’ after this standard line of his. We congratulate each other for having such a considerate priminister at the helm and he goes the other way patting his own back till another dozen get killed at some other city square. He comes back again, invariably wearing the same sky blue color turban and utters the same lines, with or without a ‘Theek Hai’ and the cycle continues. Have you ever seen any perpetrator ever been punished? Now don’t bring that moron Ajmal Kasav to the context. Without a certain Tukaram Ombale none would have ever known, who this Kasav was. Hanging of Kasav is not at all a testimony to the seriousness Dr. Singh means for each of his blabber post a terror strike. Look at a certain George Bush and his seriousness post 9/11. “We will catch all those who are responsible and punish them”, were his exact words. Rest as they say his history and we can only sit and admire the seriousness of his lines and how he meant each syllable to the molecular level. In contrast, rather being authoritative, our PM sounds more like a helpless and uninterested chicken. He leaves a lot of his assurances to probabilities and future tense. We will catch; we will punish; we will set an example and most important; you all are jackasses to believe what we say.

If the nonsense in the form of addressing a worried nation with lies is not enough, the way this government tries to give a spin to the whole terror angle is flabbergasting. When the world knows, whom to blame for the spilled blood of innocents on the street, our smart hacks in Congress see a Hindutwa terror in everything. Votebank takes precedence and we see people of Hindu origin like Swami Ashimanand, Col Purohit, Sadhavi Pragyan were packed behind bars for charges nobody knows. A top layer empty entity like Rahul goes ahead discussing the so called biggest threat to India in the form of Saffron terror with odd American senate over a hot cup of coffee. Foul mouth mongrels like Digvijay Singh are routinely let loose to spew venom against Hindus. For every terror explanation the trio named earlier is furnished to show how Islamic terror is a myth while Saffron terror is all that is prevalent in India. Now that the charge sheet for the terror attacks where the trio is alleged to have masterminded, doesn’t find any mention of their names, the morons who were all but blaming the entire Hindu community for all the terror acts are nowhere to be seen. Hope arrangements are made to drag out the scumbags like Diggi and team and asked to explain their nefarious intent and made sure to be slapped black and blue in absence of a satisfactory explanation or admittance of guilt.

Even look at the Ostrich like behavior for general law-and-order problem. Women are getting raped left-right-and-center in Delhi but that doesn’t deter Shiela Dixit from wasting public money on advertising her own rotten governance. When people were asking as basic as safety in our cities, the lady was all over the place on NDTV stage managed shows to shed gallons of crocodile tears. When all that we asked for is an uncomplicated assurance that our women would be as safe on the streets as they are in their homes, we ended up knowing the number of daughters that our political hawks have, starting MoS Home and down. As if it was a race to let know who have got more number of daughters back home. Only good thing that Lalu never tried to come up with his numbers. That would have posed a mathematical challenge. While all the fake voices in Congress were showing concern for the depleting women safety, our kids were getting canned and water cannoned for demanding this basic responsibility from this worthless and shameless government. This was quite an explanation of the intentions when the morons say; they are with the people of this nation and they understand the sentiments of the populace.

As I said in the first stanza; we are full with Ostriches and we even don’t tolerate if someone tries to be different. If someone like Anna Hazare acts little responsible and starts bothering for the recklessness in governance, the Ostriches in the Congress activate their dirty tricks department to malign the person. In parallel they even try to sell snake oil (selling snake oil is a trademark of Congress. After all they are selling them since the time of Chacha) to the nation with fabricated rhetoric and jingoisms. The moment one asks uncomfortable questions on the very Ostrich like behavior, we have rascals like Maniac Tewari coming forward lambasting the patrons with theatrical lines like ‘Elected & Electable’. When the law finally catches up with one of the Ostriches for any of his earlier misdeeds, the dirty tricks department is pressed into service at once. In collaboration with a sold our organization like CBI, clean chits are issued quicker than you could finish uttering ‘Bhen..’.

Hope the Ostriches would be dealt with severe terms in next general elections and would be packed to a place they so deservingly belong. Yes, a Zoo that is.

Naxalism - Does The Government Have 'GUTS' To Tackle It?

2013-05-30T09:13:00.001+05:30

This post is written and donated by Pradeep T (@pdeept), Guest Writer

Let’s start with our so called leader’s reactions immediately after the bloodbath..!!

Sonia madam and Rahul Baba said, "This is an attack on our democracy!". PM Manmohan Singh uttered "The biggest problem that our country facing today is Naxalism. Everyone should be inextricably united to retaliate this".. And, the reactions list goes on and on.

This is not the first time that our PM is saying something like this on Naxalism; we have been fooled over many times, over the same issue, repeatedly. Be it in the meetings of state's Home Ministers or in the meetings of DGP's or even in nation development board meets. Supreme Court termed CBI as CAGED PARROT. But, in reality, Mr. Manmohan Singh is actually a parrot by himself, singing the same song, Theek Hai!!

Let’s go to a decade back to dig some history!

In 2004:

Congress led UPA was sworn in to form a new government. It had the support of Left Front who strongly believed in Communism and its principles. At the same time, the Naxal activists in the country have been operating in 2 groups. Namely, 'The People's WAR Group' and 'Communists Maoists Centre'. Co-incidentally, they decided to operate as a single group, by creating 'Communists Party Of India - Maoists (CPI-M)'. From then on, this group created lot of distress, and their operations has been expanded to the most backward places like, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Odisha, etc..

During Naxalism infancy, the then government didn't give much priority over these issues. Since, they had the support of Left Front, they thought it can be used to conduct peace talks with Naxals. But irony, we had someone called Shivraj Patil, the then Home Minister, who was more worried for his clothes and appearance than tackling this Naxalism. Due to an indifferent HM and many other systematic loopholes, Naxal groups grew stronger day by the day. By 2009; Naxals were almost ready to wage war against the nation. All this while the government was mum on these developments. The best they did was to wash their hands by issuing inappropriate statements.

In 2010, these Naxals massacred more than 75 CRPF Jawans while the UPA government remained in their convinient coma at that stage. Rather taking stringent actions against the Maos, the newly appointed home minister blabbered the same shoddy story. Yes, it was Mr. P, Chidamabaram. Days are not near, when these Naxals will eventually metamorphose into 'China Liberation Army', which will easily usurp the reigns of our nation.

It is been close to 3 years since we talked about taking concrete steps to curb the menace, and still the Naxals continue with their bloodshed of innocent people. And, this time, their target was high profile congressmen of Chattisgarh. The state congress president Nand Kumar Patel and his son Dinesh, soon to be CM candidate aspirant among the backward class of Chattisgarh Mahendra Karma and other 28 members were killed mercilessly by the Naxals. Even a senior leader and ex minister, Vidyacharan Shukla is been seriously injured and struggling with his life. What we get to hear from the so called Mai-Baap of Congress like Sonia, Rahul and Manmohan Singh, is the same thing "we will take action against them".

If we take the stats of these brutal killings of Naxals, over 600 soldiers have been killed so far. Even their army has grown in unimaginable numbers. More than 47 thousand Naxals are there including women. Out of which, close to 10 thousands Naxals are actively involved in Naxalism, and remaining people are acting as porters, who have the responsiblity to manage the supply-chain e.g the required ammunitions like guns, bombs and other weapons. Also, they are convincing other people from nearby villages to join their group and fight for them.

The intelligence reports say, the Naxals are getting their illegal arms from Nepal. Even after having knowledge of such arm infiltration, our PMO and our Home minister's office are sitting still. Can't they do anything? Or is it that convinience called wait and watch policy or simply is it the minority votebank that is consuming a majority chunk of UPA government's time to ponder about anything else? For a change Mr. P, Chidambaram acted proactively to tackle this issue. He conducted various meetings with all the chief ministers of Naxal affected states. He even went ahead and ordered our army to launch 'GREEN HUNT' operations against the Moasists. It was the first time that Naxalism has been treated at par with terrorism. But all of a sudden, nothing seems to be working, Or was it another of those hogwash that this Congress government is infamous for?

Today, India's biggest problem is not from the radical thinking terrorists, but from these insider Naxal extremists who are becoming more powerful each passing day. By Just issuing statements and shedding crocodile tears in gallons, our politicians will solve nothing. One should have a political vision and GUTS to overcome this. Can we expect this from our Government?

I guess the answer is a resounding NO!!!

Well….That’s Not Fair

2013-05-27T11:37:00.001+05:30

This piece is written and donated by - Paritosh Jadav (Guest Writer)

Enough criticism has been done, over the Indian obsession for white skin. Many have shared their angst about those fairness products, selling in Indian markets like hot cakes. While this is not a secret that the obsession for fairness, is not only something that relates to a desired physical trait, but a phenomenon, that crosses over into the realm of self-deprecating and self-loathing racism. If you must have got a hang of the topic, then let me take it further. The character ‘Gunga Din’ from Rudyard Kipling’s popular work ‘The Jungle Book’ is very well known. The character encompasses, a servile sycophant, a buffoon and a fit to be slave ‘native’, who’s allegiance and loyalty to the British Empire, is much more than what the Brits would have. This is exactly what is mirrored in the attitudes of present day Indians. Not political allegiance towards any nation, but the knack of treating the white-man with an air of preference.

Unbelievable? Absurd? An antiquity from the past? Not quite yet. Well, the world has moved on, but we Indians haven’t. After being ruled by the so called ‘white man’ for a couple of centuries, we have made ourselves enough determined to commit the act of self-diminution, which we perceive as politeness and welcoming behavior. The days of post-colonial resentment and ‘third world unity’ are long over. India opened up itself to the world and began experiencing prosperity. But as surprising and frustrating that would get, it couldn’t change the mentality of us Indians. By default, it has somehow got into our minds, that we ought treat the white man with an unparalleled dignity and preference and shamelessly cloak it as our ‘welcoming behavior’. Well how could I miss the popular line ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’, roughly translated as ‘your guest is like your God’.

If one is keen on noticing such trends, we can surely find this unacceptably foolish and self-diminishing behavior prevalent amongst many Indians. A popular T.V series on a popular comedy channel on the Indian television, once showcased a series of episodes, where a white girl somehow encounters the characters of the show, the residents of a housing society and that how things move ahead, vis-a-vis they invite her to their events, she learns to speak Hindi, learns our culture and all that. Well why the channel really decided to stoop to such a low level? As obvious it is, they very well knew that having a ‘gori’ in their show would attract large number of audiences to watch the show. They just cashed on the currently existing servility of the desis.

Today, you will find a lot of white expatriates writing about their ‘India experience’ on their blogs. These blogs are frequented by Indians, well educated and cosmopolitan, but suffering from the, justifiably named ‘Gunga Din syndrome’. Whatever, they write and post, as a rule, has to be correct for the Indians. Most of the times, the content gives an air of subtle prejudice and misinformation about the country. Or for that matter, focuses only on the very clichéd topics such as yoga, spirituality, spices, social issues, food, culture, beggars or the very typical ‘how India changed my life’ kind of stuff. But no one ever bothers to correct it or tell the blogger about his/her problem of selective perception and that he/she needs to see India as what it is, rather what it has been for the past few decades. But no! One must always agree, for that the white folks are always right, whatever be their opinion.

When foreign dignitaries arrive in our country on official invitations, they are given a warm welcome, a bit too warm and cozy, by putting a garland of flowers around their necks and then striking the tilak on their foreheads. Not in all the cases though, but why at all should that be done if in any? This was seen when London mayor Boris visited the country recently. Is that your protocol for an official trip by a foreign visitor? Has that ever been done for a black dignitary visiting the country (except if he would be an American). The leaders from both the sides, when shaking hands are photographed, the Indian smiling with all his cheek muscles flexed and worked, while the white man is like ’hmmm ok, lets move it’.

During the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, an incident was reported where a team of Australian athletes threw down a washing machine from their quarters at the games village, only because the Australian cricket team had lost a match against the Indian team, the same day. But they were not even given a slap on the shoulder. A similar example goes on with the man-handling of Sharad Pawar by the Aussie cricket team. There are many such incidents to cite as perfect examples of the ugly mix of the Indian inferiority complex and a racially revered image of the white man.

Just read any news on the internet regarding how a white tourist/visitor was subjected to any crime and the comments below would give you an idea how damn ‘ashamed’ the desis feel to be Indians. Bloody morons don’t even know that Indians are victims of both hard and soft racism abroad. But nobody from these countries ever expresses such self-loathing regret. Instead they just advise us to not to ‘stereotype the whole nation’.

Even in the day to day scenario, it is observable that any white person visiting a mall, a market, a college, a function or any public place is invariably given a special treatment. If not a special one, then at least what we can call as an over-friendly one. They are smiled at, as if they are the ambassadors of god to humanity; they are talked to, way much politely and in a way, as if they come from a very high authority or a special social position. Even if this kind of behavior were to be justified as gestures of traditional hospitality, one can pertinently question, why non-white visitors like South-East Asians and in particularly Blacks not treated with the same ‘warmth’ and ‘friendliness’? The reason is obvious and lies in front of you. A naked truth of inferiority complex of an average Indian coupled with false and idiotic notions of a white person being someone to be treated above par from others.

In no way it is being implied that one must treat white visitors with contemptuous racism. But it would be sane if we just treat them as we would treat any average Indian, without being too much excited, welcoming and too friendly, going beyond our way to help them. It won’t be factually and morally incorrect to say that we Indians tend to accept these white folks too quickly, which is wrong. Some may think that all this aforementioned stuff is too absurd and is an anachronism, a misfit in today’s India, but ignorance is certainly not the right choice.

Have some spine and bloody self respect fellow Indians. You don’t need the white man to tell you if you are right or wrong. You are enough capable and smart to figure out your problems and their solutions. If ‘Atithi’ is like ‘Deva’, then please treat all guests with equal dignity, including your own countrymen.

Let’s Teach The Thugs A Lesson

2013-05-24T13:03:00.000+05:30

I rarely make a sells pitch. I never urge people to buy my lines for anything. No, not even for BJP or for that matter even Narendra Modi. I always put my viewpoint for all to read through and decide the best ot of it. Seldom have I asked people to forgo their own wisdom to tow my lines as the Mullahs around the world do with a false promise of 72 virgins up there. But now the time has arrived for a paradigm shift to my approach in calling a spade a spade. Now that the nation is almost in the verge of being served to the dogs in a platter, it becomes more than obligatory to pitch for truth, honesty, accountability and if possible a better governance.

We are barely a year away from the next general elections. And to say the least, we can’t just afford to miss this opportunity to resurrect some wrongs that this UPA government did in last nine years. Should we decide to press the snooze button on the voting day to enjoy our extended sleep, well into the afternoon or decide to remain nonchalant of the situation that our nation is going through, we would end up giving the same set buffoons another chance to milk the nation for another five years. Looking at what we are been offered, with respect to governance and honesty, it is no secret that, if these crooks are voted back to power once again we along with our nation will go for a spin. As responsible citizens of this nation, we must not allow the morons who have looted the nation tirelessly for last nine years, to come back to power at any cost. We must ensure that the rascals are shown the door the most unceremonious way. And for this to happen, we the voters are required to brush our maturity level and skill of judgment to a new scale.

Just count the number of scams this UPA government accomplished in last four years. I know it will take a good hour to come up with the numbers alone and for the amount of money that was siphoned in all these scams, you may very well have to write a software program for assistance. So magnanimous was the scam rate of this corrupt government. Every ministry of this government is neck deep in one scam or the other. No constitutional institution was left untouched from the nefarious intent of these Congress wags. From CBI to ED and now even CAG with a puppet installed for specific dictations; every institution of repute was auctioned out to cheap greed and personal gain. Mind you, the scams that our media is unearthing are those which the UPA government managed during their first stint. It gives me jitters to even imagine what they could have done during their second stint, which I am sure would blow out in next couple of years. Many would argue, there could possibly be lesser number scams during UPA-II since they pretty much remained occupied in defending their UPA-I misdeeds all through these years, leaving far less time for accomplishing fresh ones but jokes apart; are these the kind of credentials that you want to see in your next government? Not sure of others but for me, I would rather accept a dictator on any given day than these set of crooks who have made a mess of everything that they put their hands in to.

Not only the ministries and the ministers, even the extended Gandhi family was all but busy accumulating public money by misusing their power and position. Robert Vadra is one such entity with no credentials but allowed to become a billionaire from a road side scarp dealer. Government lands were handed over to opportunistic real estate sharks at throw away price since that is the wicked way how the scumbag Damad-E-Hind could make a lot of money acting as a middleman. When the Vadra chap was exposed, all that these Congress sycophants did was to defend the rascal with their lives and as part of a routine hogwash; they institutionalized a self-formulated committee, which eventually gave clean chit to this high-end Dalal. Do you really want such a government to govern us which is not accountable to the nation but a particular family? Isn’t it an insult to the largest democracy of the world to accommodate the most corrupt government of human history? Aren’t these thugs a blot on democratic meanings since for them it is not ‘Of the people, by the people, for the people’ but ‘Of the Gandhi family, by the Gandhi family, for the Gandhi family’?

If you are a Hindu, you have got more than just corruption a reason to teach these morons a lesson. I am a Hindu and I feel disgusted the way these scoundrels have made a mockery of Hindu sentiments and Hindu ideologies. Systematically, in the name of secularism, it is the Hindus that were shown in a bad light. While the world knows the root cause of all these terror activities, the bastards here fancy with new found jargons like ‘Saffron Terror’. A pathetic priminister stands atop Lalkila to announce ‘minorities have the first right to all natural resources’ and yet, he still is held as the flag bearer of secularism. Being a Hindu I object to such pontification of my fundamental rights where my priminister advises me to forget my legitimate claims just because I am a Hindu. It equally hurts me as a Hindu to see skunks like Digvijay Singh, with their foot permanently parked in their mouths, insult all Hindu organizations and sentiments while openly hobnob with apprehended terrorists for votebank. I don’t have any qualms if you go ahead in a rear licking spree of all the terrorists of the world for personal gain but no way can tolerate if Hinduism is unnecessarily brought in to the context. Appeasement becomes the norm for democracy and I object to such mollification of facts. I certainly can’t tolerate when I see innocents like Sadhvi Pragya, Col Purohit, Swami Ashimanand are arrested, just to show the existence of a ‘Hindu Terror’ angle. Why don’t I see the Digvijay Singhs, Chidambarams, Shindes of the world and all the morons of Congress to come forward and apologize to all the Hindus for their foul mouthing since NIA failed to find any evidence against the above mentioned trio? It would be a shame on all Hindus if we forget such official humiliation of our religion by a worthless government and that too for the self-gain of hawks in Congress and their allies.

Pity if you fall prey to these notorious Bharat Nirman nonsense that this Congress government is playing in all TV channels as the last ditch attempt at fooling the nation. In the name of Bharat Nirman, all that they are trying, is to sell the snake oil, much the same way Chacha Nehru sold us a good sixty odd year’s back. First they will loot our money and then waste hundred crores of our money again to come up with nasty advertisement full of lies and dishonesty to cover the shit they have piled in last nine years. I object to such open hypocrisy of an elected government.

So please stand up and make sure to erase such nuisance from our democratic frameworks; if possible forever. Congress as a party is a disgrace to democracy where they fancy the idea to curb any voice of dissent with 66A. They are a disgrace since they believe in beating our children and water cannoning them as their protest for a safer nation was not going down well with their reputation and image. They are a malice since all they accomplished in the name of democracy is to loot the nation and fill their own coffers. So time has come to teach these morons a strong lesson and show the real power of citizens when it comes to democracy. Let’s reclaim our democracy from the clutches of these looters. Let's work towards a better India post May-2014. Please!!

The Dinner That Will Taste Bitter

2013-05-22T12:33:00.001+05:30

Congress is holding a grand dinner for its natural allies and unnatural allies like SP & BSP to celebrate UPA government’s ninth anniversary. And I am sure; the food will taste unusually bitter for a large constituent of this UPA coalition. If there were any possibility of the food tasting sweeter, those were handsomely ruined by yesterday’s opinion poll that CNN-IBN carried out in 20 major cities. To say the least, the numbers are alarmingly fatal for Congress, if they were still carrying the expectations of making it a third term on the trot.

But, are the Congress and its bigwigs are so naïve to not see the writings on the wall? Does anyone believe the numbers flashing on CNN-IBN channel would have come as a shocking surprise for the party men in anyway? If the latest Karnataka polls were of any pointer then corruption in public life stands as a major bone of contention for the voters. The corruption is the precise thing that saw the unceremonious boot out of BJP from the state legislative. And talk about corruption, Congress holds the dubious distinction of accomplishing them in truck loads. While other parties have a handful of them to their credit, Congress could very well rewrite the history of corruption and demonstrate a catharsis of the same. And if the belief of Congress that corruption never deviates the structured votebank, then I must say, the think tank need to reevaluate their political standing even before thinking about 2014 elections.

Here is the thing. A good 67% believe, Manmohan Singh is largely useless as the priminister of this country and as the leader of the coalition he is anything but pathetic. There is a reason for such exasperation of the public against him. Without a debate, he could possibly be leading the most corrupt government of democratic history of the entire universe. Rampant corruption certainly irritates the masses but any intentional inaction irritates even more. From Raja to Kalmadi, it is only inaction that Manmohan Singh offered this nation. Every day a new scam gets unearthed where people see the ministers of this present day government hand-in-gloves with the perpetrators in conniving another mass loot of public money. For each scam, Manmohan Singh remains oblivious and offers no solace to the public in the form of systematic ignorance. Sometimes it is the coalition Dharma while for others it is plain disinterest to act against his own colleagues. People get to see no action on the ground to take these highway robbers to task. The boiling anger against such institutional loot has surfaced as the scary numbers that CNN-IBN played all through yesterday evening. People have gone so discontent with this government that they are no more ready to believe on the honesty and integrity of Manmohan Singh. While earlier for each scam Congress wags could easily get away by showing a clean image of Dr. Singh, the ploy now is failing badly. Dr. Singh might be a man of honesty himself but shielding corrupts is no lesser an act of dishonesty in itself. Since people see how inefficient Dr. Singh is, in controlling his own filthy subordinates, his own clean image has suffered a severe dent in public perception.

The second point in the range of dissatisfaction is price rise. To say it mildly, the prices of essential commodities has gone through the roof. This is another instance where people find the government, starting with Manmohan Singh and down look the other way always. When survival for many has become tougher than ever, all that people get for an assurance is hollow promises. First the 100 days revival promise of Dr. Singh himself that never took off. Every three months another incompetent bot going by the name Monteksingh Ahluwallia going public with a new proposed date of inflation getting normal, irritated the populace even more. To couple with rampant corruption this unprecedented price rise convinced the citizens that, as far as they are concerned they don’t just fit into the scheme of things of this government. All that the government is interested in, is to loot the nation with both hands. People can go to hell for all that this UPA government cares; is the notion that a major chunk carry. Not to blame the populace, the notion that they carry, which look so negative against this UPA government is somewhat justified. For the life of me or anyone, it becomes highly incomprehensible to see a democratically elected government becoming so nonchalant towards the plight of the citizens. All that matters for them is to find avenues to loot the nation and do nothing else than just looting.

Bad management of our economy is another point which might not have gone down well with the citizens; though it majorly is a concern for the urban populace. Because of corruption and bad policy frameworks ours once booming economy is in tatters now. But this never bothers this incompetent government since they are not there for the growth of the nation but for self and party’s growth. It bothers them little if the hard earned savings of the common man is vaporizing in thin air. It doesn’t bother them if the GDP saw the biggest decline of decades or if the FDI in core sectors have all but dried up. All that they care about is levying heavy retro taxes on potential investors to scare them away from investing. Least talked about the amount of job loss that happened in last four years is better. Even the primary job providing institutions like information & technology has seen a strong decline. But this government least cares if people are getting deprived of their livelihood since the motto being in power is not to uplift the living standards but dig out lies to frame Narendra Modi at any cost; even if that means slapping a 547 crore tax notice to Infosys since it’s mentor Narayan Murthy has some praising words for Mr. Modi.

Arrogance of many in Congress is another blatant display of indifference. From Manish Tewari to Kapil Sibal, all are rascals of great magnitude, possessing the biggest mouths of the world. Seldom do people appreciate if their elected representatives flaunt their status symbol to come up with statements like ‘Elected & Electable’. As I have said this million times, had the jokers of Congress shown a little less arrogance, they wouldn’t have landed themselves in a position that they currently find themselves in. As long as they continue encouraging morons like Digvijay Singh to insult each and every person, the more they will dig themselves in the pile of shit. If they believe, people have too short a memory to remember the foul mouthing these jokers have done over the years; I am sorry, the numbers of the said opinion poll should come as a reality check.

Honestly, I can’t wait for 2014 to come so that these morons who unfortunately are making a mess of this nation for last 9 years are shown the door. I couldn’t have cared less if the CNN-IBN opinion poll wakes these hawks from their deep slumber to face the truth. The damage that these idiots have done is so magnanimous that it might not get covered under their usual ploy of drooling out freebies and social welfare schemes during the election year. So whether the buffoons wake up from their dream and face the music or try their best to change their well deserved nasty image a bit would sum up to naught. Because people may take time to recognize the foxes in sheep skin but when they do, the foxes are in for a horrendous surprise. Come May 2014, the jackals would know, what happens to the traitors and lampoons who play with the nation and its sentiments. Amen!!

The Mega Farce Called IPL

2013-05-20T12:50:00.001+05:30

We Indians are always taken for a ride; and to some extent we deserve such betrayals in regular intervals so that we are kept reminded of the possible backstabbing one can expect for such cult worshiping. Be it our politicians who are hoodwinking us for last half a century or the ever so notorious circle of Bollywood which gets sprinkled with black and mafia money while we never shy away from showering our patronage for the moronic constituents of it or our national religion called Cricket which gets marred at an alarming regularity with people who play the game, screw the reputation of the game itself with their shoddy actions. Bottomline, it is always our cult worshiping that propels absolute filthy humans take the high ground in betraying the people who have elevated them to such heights.

The latest spot fixing episode in and around IPL is one such example where a handful of idiots have made an absolute nut case of this beautiful game and end up telltale the same people who have made IPL such a success to begin with. Again, as I said in my first line; we deserve this.

But more than the trio who got this sudden affinity for towels, it is we who should be blamed squarely for this self-inflicted stab wound, more than anyone else. That said, filthy organizations like BCCI, the IPL governing council and the people who run both these organizations shouldn’t be exonerated of their crimes and intentional manipulation of the game for money.

A critical pointer to the underneath farce in this whole IPL thing can very well be judged on the basis of money that is involved in this club level tournament. A country where more than half of its population is far, far away from basic necessities, spending of thousands of crores for a game, only tells a slapdash story. And the story is nothing but the farce that runs around this tournament and how the sentiment of the viewer’s taken for a systematic ride without any consideration. How many of us really do believe genuinely the existence of even 5% honesty in this whole tournament? I don’t think there would be many who will feel so and for those who believe there is transparency in IPL; I only advise them to take note of the fellows who run this IPL nonsense. If you expect honesty from people like Rajiv Shukla, N. Srinivasan and Sharad Pawar to name few then I can only pity on your sense of judgment.

For starters, the business model of this IPL looks extremely blurry. For the life of me, I can’t fathom the channel through which the so called owners of these 9 teams could make profit out of it. I mean, shedding a good four hundred crores (minimum) to buy fancy names like ‘Kolkatta Nightriders’ or ‘Delhi Daredevils’ doesn’t make any sense to me as a human being. Now for me these are only names since you end up spending few more millions to build a team around these names. Don’t you? Even there are people like Subrato Roy who go ahead spending close to a thousand crores to buy the ‘Pune Warriors’ name. I am not questioning the business acumen of these thick wallet carrying business minds but I for sure don’t see any concrete and legitimate avenues available to get back the said amount of money, let alone making any bloody profit. This is where I smell rat. I am sure the owners are aware of the money making mechanism which we lesser mortals are never told. I am sure BCCI in connivance with a lot of thugs must have churned out ways and means to convince the owners to spend such unbelievable amount before selling them the carrot. Since we as viewers were never apprised of these shoddy means, either by design or intention, the foul smell of naughty malpractice is anything but an open secret. Had the means of money making were of purely legal types then the rest of the nation must be aware of the same. Since these dealings are shielded from public scrutiny, it is only expected to be suspicious and nefarious as well.

Look at the duration of this tournament. Two months? As I once said, this is really a long period since no Jharkhand government has managed to remain operational for that many days in last five attempts. I have seen Olympics and football world cup where it doesn’t stretches beyond three weeks with so many teams and players involved whereas this wretched tournament with only 9 teams playing goes on for donkey’s ages. Doesn’t this very duration smell nonsense to begin with? While we may cry for blood of the three apprehended players, in reality the whole tournament is rigged and fixed. In every stage of it, the viewers are fooled to the core, so as to keep the interest alive artificially.

Here is the thing. This year, almost all teams have own their respective so called home games. You may see sporting coincidence but I see conspiracy. This is plain and simple attempt at pulling the crowd to the stadia to pack it to capacity since they would love to see their home sides winning in front of them. Packed stadia actually helps the BCCI to convince the sponsors, advertisers and stake holders of the continuing popularity and makes it easy for them to sell the snake oil in the name of popularity. Empty stadium at Pune is a good testimony to what I want to infer since this is where BCCI is touted to lose 15 crores per match. Do you still see sporting coincidence? Let’s go a little beyond then. How many of you have seen the pathetic face of Shahrukh Khan this season when KKR was playing? Once or twice may be but you can very well recall, during the previous edition the same chap was present in the stadium for almost all matches of KKR. And who won last year’s edition? Now, can you correlate the pathetic performance of KKR this season with the absentee called SRK? I am now confident that BCCI leaves no stones unturned to fix the games so that every team gets their share of the cherry on a round robin basis. A series of bad performance of KKR was not going well with its popularity among its so called supporters which in turned called for radical management. From nowhere, a team languishing at the bottom of the table last season rises from the ashes and wins the trophy next year. That is so inspirational but in reality it is the resultant of BCCI’s handiwork to satisfy the hounding shareholders who must be crying foul with the degrading popularity of KKR. Don’t believe me? Then just wait for the next season and see how Pune makes it big and end up winning IPL7 to balance out the plunging popularity index.

I even feel Sreesanth is caught in rough weather because of his extravagance on Twitter not long back. While it could be unofficially official for the team owners to felicitate all kind of fixing (remember the channel of making money) so that their balance sheet doesn’t make a horrifying reading, this chap is scarified for letting know the world; what is the truth. Didn’t he point blame on BCCI (indirectly) for creating artificial controversies so that the interest in the tournament remains intact? Didn’t he term the infamous slapgate as an act of fabrication so that people remain hooked to this nonsense called IPL? The day Sreesanth made all these revelations and accused Harbhajan of backstabbing, I was sure something rotten would fall off from IPL’s cabinet very soon. And that’s precisely what has happened. I feel pity that Sreesanth decided to take head on with the mighty thugs of BCCI and feel equally pity for the lesser known duo that were send to the gallows along with Sreesanth. After all arresting Sreesanth alone would have made the nasty plot too obvious for all to guess. Won’t it have?

All in all, this IPL must be stopped once. It is only inculcating foul play among the players who are supposed to be gentle (gentleman’s game. Remember?). If that is not enough, it also is ruining the longevity of many fine players. How many times we have seen few of our key players getting injured after this never ending IPL saga is over. How many times we have seen our team flunking badly at the tournament/series preceding IPL. This bloody nonsense of money minting and playing with the sentiments of so many people must stop. Strategic timeout? Do I see the smiling faces of the Set Max shareholders? Heavens!!

Let’s Not Blame The Cops Always

2013-05-15T11:33:00.000+05:30

Our media is in a bad habit of picking stories and make a demon out of it where others don’t see any. The latest saga of the so called police atrocity where a cop was caught slapping a young girl inside a police station is one such thread which our media went gaga whole through yesterday. I have no qualms if our media wants to showcase this slap as an act of police brutality by either not going through the sequence of events or intentionally keeping the truth out of reach of the public to gain cheap TRP. But that said, as a viewer or even as a mature citizen of this nation, I need to go through the sequence of events before that slap finally landed, so as to decide if I am required to outrage alongside the Arnav Goswamis of the world and lambast our law and order enforcing agencies.

It is never a doubt that our police force is badly in need of some immediate reform. Reform in everything, starting with their general behavior towards the public and ending with the very manner they go about doing their job. No two ways about it that, there is a need of paradigm shift in whole modus operandi of our police force where one would see our forces become more accountable to the public than what they are now. But does that mean we lampoon our police for every damn thing and term each action of theirs as an act of atrocity? Not sure about others but I certainly don’t entertain the idea of getting judgmental on anything on the basis of a 15 seconds video clip, without knowing the other side of the story.

Now here is the thing. The girl who was seen getting slapped on a video is not a holy cow. For me, the slap is well deserved one and wish the same had landed on her cheeks long back. I know the feminist and the hoard of self-righteous moral brigade would be fuming with this very line of mine but what’s the take? Without knowing the reason of the slap it shouldn’t be anyway taken on the face value as part of a standard fashion statement to sendup the police, as many of our current generation know-all idiots love to do.

It is a fact that the girl was drinking inside a car along with her presumed boyfriend in the mid of the night at a residential area. Isn’t the very act is against the law? Didn’t she break quite a handful of our IPC and CrPc with her drinking spree? What we expect our police to do with people who break the law? Certainly not ornament them with garlands and sweets but to take stringent of actions. The girl and her alleged boyfriend not only did the mischievous act of drinking in a public place but were rude to one and all who objected to their nefarious act. In a residential area where people expect sanctity, both for the peace of mind and their kids so that they don’t pick the wrong example, how insane it was for someone to drink in open is anybody’s guess. If the drinking in open wasn’t enough, the girl was so intoxicated with the grog that she abused and hurled unparliamentarily adjectives to those who objected to such felony. No one was spared from the ire of this moronic girl since she felt it is well within her rights to drink in public without being objected. She was so overjoyed with her accomplishment that she went ahead and slapped a techie who asked her to move her ass out of the premises, rather than creating an unnecessary scene.

For all those who go by the word feminism; how appropriate was it on the part of the girl to abuse and manhandle sober people if you feel what the cop did to her was outright wrong? Even the treatment that was meted out to the girl inside the police station has a backdrop to it. When the irate residents of the locality finally called the police to take this public nuisance out of there, the girl was still at her intoxicating best. A simple enquiry of her whereabouts and resident’s address by the cop infuriated the girl so much that she even didn’t spared the cops from her filthy mouthing. She started her abuse from where she left before she was picked up by the police and continued abusing the entire lot (including few civilians of the locality where she was drinking) present at the outpost. Now what the cops are supposed to do when a girl who barely crossed her teens is seen abusing each and every one who comes in her way? As I said earlier, she deserved the slap and that too a tight one for all that she managed to accomplish that night.

If the feminist feel that was wrong on the part of the cop to slap the girl, they must also explain how rightful it is to abuse and manhandle innocents in an inebriated condition. Had there been a boy in place of the girl, would these moral brigades shout so much? And please stop this ‘roughing up a student’ nonsense. A student is a state of life, not just getting enrolled in some bloody educational institution. If one has to take shelter of this student umbrella, he/she equally has to showcase the attributes of a student first. And certainly the definition of a student doesn’t entertain the patron drinking in public and then going on an abusing spree. This act is associated with rowdies of the street, not students. And rowdies need to be dealt in a manner exactly the way the cops dealt with this pathetic girl. Had the cops didn't acted the way they acted it would have been gross injustice to the law itself. Wish there could have been couple more, not just one.

And please, stop this freedom to women nonsense. If freedom means you become a public nuisance and go on abusing people then I really wish we abolish this word ‘freedom’ from our dictionaries. Freedom comes with a huge responsibility and certainly drinking in a residential area and then abusing people in no way could be termed as a responsible act. Had the girl’s parents taken their spoilt brat in tough terms earlier and landed few tight ones in the confinement of their home, she wouldn’t have become such an embarrassment for them and the society at large and for sure wouldn’t have been clicked getting slapped inside a police station.

Freedom for rowdy and morally bankrupt moronic women? My ass!!

Parliament – Where Congress Plays Its Dirty Tricks

2013-05-13T13:05:00.001+05:30

I have said this close to zillion times. The theory that this UPA government follows to the hilt to cover their corruption acts is playing gimmicks. Every time they find their necks getting tightened by yet another of their act of corruption, they either try to blame the 6 years rule of BJP as the catalyst for the mess or ask their ever so vigilant dirty tricks department to play another of their regular gimmicks to fool the nation. In most of the cases they in fact employ both the mentioned tricks to get away or try to get away from the thick of the things. Most of the times they fail miserably but failures seldom deter the clowns from repeating the same gimmicks again. Isn’t it?

The latest unholy saga involving Pawan Bansal and Ashwani Kumar has got all the trademark nonsense of Congress all over it. When both these gentlemen blow themselves up, one in the act of corruption where his own nephew was found acting as the pimp for him while the other tried his best to save the priminister from some imminent shame by deleting his name from a confidential report on the pretext of some bizarre grammar correction; all that we saw as part of a standard reaction of Congress is similar to what we have seen in earlier scams. First they denied any such infringement as claimed by the opposition. Then come the acceptance with a standard twist. None of the ministers, as per them found involved in any kind of misdoing. The act and actions of the nephew and the chap who agreed to pay a staggering 10 crores for a plump post, in case of Bansal were blamed instead since Bansal was found too honest a holy cow to get his hands dirty. Ditto was the case with Kumar. He again, as per the Congress, did what he did with all good intentions since as the law minister he was flabbergasted seeing the low quality English that was scribed as part of the official reports of CBI. While the opposition was hell-bent in demanding the resignation of this crooked duo, as per the so called sources of our media houses, the priminister was himself against the resignation of both the ministers.

But I see a trick here from the dirty tricks department. Don’t believe me? Then try answering why Bansal and Kumar were asked to resign right after the session was over when they very well could have done the same earlier and let the house function normaly.

Anyway, coming back to the topic. The so called oblivious attitude of our PM and his complete disinterest in acting against these two morons is the direct fallout of their nefarious intent to drag the attention somewhere else. The parliament session was just about to start when these two rascals were caught with their pants down and it was expected of the opposition to take the battle to the well of the house. And that is what precisely happened since BJP remained adamant with their demand of expulsion of these two ministers which resulted in repeated calling off of both the houses. Intentionally the Congress tried to brazen out the opposition's legitimate demands as that is what suited the Congress party looking at the nasty situation they were in. In an attempt to take the moral high ground by blaming BJP for stalling the parliament, the dirty tricks department of Congress intentionally kept the rascals in their ranks. Idea was not to remain strong during adversity but to go to the people with a sorry face and accusing BJP of subverting democracy by their repeated nuisance in the house. But didn’t the trick fall flat on its face? Subverting democracy? Seriously? When corrupt people are allowed to occupy chairs of responsible posts, a party seen shielding the very morons come up with their ‘democracy subversion’ antiques is as hilarious as a Laurel-Hardy episode. No?

Since the moral high ground drama didn’t find any buyers, the thugs asked their paid media houses to come to their rescue. Remember the bloody Cobrapost nonsense that was blown from nowhere during when both Bansal and Kumar were soiling their Dhotis on hourly basis? As a little info, the chap who now heads the Cobrapost team is an ex Tehlka sold out. And the kind of bed both Tehlka and Congress share is no secret for the nation to understand. So where the Cobrapost man puts his honesty and loyalty, when it comes to transparent journalism is anything but clear. Even though the content of the Cobrapost expose was worrisome, I doubt on the timing. I doubt more so when I see this Arvind Kejriwal chap around. He may play to the galleries and furnish his own gimmicks to show how he is dead against this UPA government but in reality, he is another of those opportunistic idiots who regularly share their beds with Congress party for self-gain. How I have termed this team Kejriwal as Congress-B and that too close to zillion times again.

But thankfully, for a change our media didn’t hopped like a Kangaroo from one issue to other as they are so infamously famous for. For a change, the Arnavs, the Rajdeeps of the world stick to the dented and tainted duo. So the Cobrapost drama bite the dust, as was the moral high ground nonsense earlier did. But could this stop the thugs to play another of their cards? Certainly not. From nowhere a nonsense called ‘Food Security Bill’ was brought in to the picture. Food security for the poor? I mean, when thousand tons of food grain is rotting in want of proper storage mechanism and a public distribution system as pathetic as the track record of Congress party, jokers of the party standing up and shedding gallons of crocodile tears for the poor who remained poor for generations because of the same party is sidesplitting. For me, when a government installs a corrupt and clueless idiot like Sharad Pawar as the agriculture minister, they are never or will never be be serious and concerned for the condition of the poor. As simple as that. This gimmick was nothing but another attempt at taking the moral high ground via the back door.

All that this party of thugs wanted to pass on to the nation is how unmindful BJP is for the poor and the hungry. I mean, how evil one can get for self-gain? Though the bill itself is debatable to say the least, the Congress party tried their best to take advantage of the poor. I have no qualms if the poor get to eat plate full every day. But does that mean, I have to sponsor 67% of our nation’s population through my hard-earned money? I am sure, the bill in its current form destined for rebuttal from all parties, which even the Congress thugs are aware of but the clowns tried their hands at fooling the nation again by projecting BJP as anti-poor. Hilarious again. Hilarious because, had the morons looked within for reasons on why still we have so many poor people in our country the entire Congress camp, along with their extended rotten families would have committed mass suicide long back.

Hope the nation is watching. Hope the nation is taking a bold note of all these filthy tricks. Time is coming to show our own indigenously manufactured tricks to this stinking drama company. Come 2014, we will show our tricks or two with our fingers on the EVM machines and throw this party of scoundrels and thugs to perennial dejection. Hope the tricks that we have learnt from this wicked lot would duly be paid back with interest in next general elections and let the morons have the taste of their own medicine.

The Serious Business Of Grammar Correction

2013-05-08T11:24:00.000+05:30

What are the responsibilities as the law minister of this country? Yes, you are precise; you are supposed to correct the grammar of each and every investigation report that CBI or any of the investigative agencies dig out. Bringing about new laws, formulating frameworks to clear up the piling pending cases in our courts, some kind of judicial reform or any of such frivolous stuff is childish of an act for the law minister to perform. A law minister shouldn’t worry at all about the painful slow nature of our courts because that is certainly not his lookout. All that his job warrants is some serious business of grammar correction and may be going a step ahead proactively to eliminate names and facts from the report so that his/her government doesn’t get entangled by the opposition.

Jokes apart, this is what Ashwani Kumar is doing since the days he was installed as the law minister of this country. It is just that his latest grammar correction spree saw the light of the day else in all probability this great English geek might very well have corrected the grammar of many more reports. The rampant clean chits issued to various corrupt Congress ministers in those many number of graft cases could be a direct fall out of Ashwani Kumar’s enormous English literary skills.

Honestly this is bizarre. A fact finding report where it details how the public money and national resource is siphoned off by a handful of thugs, goes through the table of someone who is party to the aforementioned crime, before reaching the desk of our honorable courts. This speaks volume of how rotten we have gone down with our governance and transparency. This is what the present day corrupt Congress government has done to the credibility of every public office. They have made holes into the repute of all those offices which were once touted as the epitome of honesty and transparency. Systematically to hide their own misdoing and loot, organization after organization were red eyed to tow their lines in coming up with fractured and misleading reports to fool the nation. Even after such systematics sabotage, just to make sure no derogatory line passed onto the public for an outcry to start, the UPA government has pathetic lieutenants like Ashwani Kumar posted to go through the reports line-by-line. How far this Congress government and the sycophants of this corrupt party can stoop to could very well be the toughest thing to imagine. Just when you think, you have seen the worst in terms of governance and honesty, someone from the Congress would come up with yet another of the spectacle, thereby raising the bar of dishonesty to an all-new low.

More than the nefarious act of Ashwani Kumar, it is the manner in which this blot on our democracy which we all know by the name Congress reacted to this news is flabbergasting. When it was dishonesty of some first grade and a shame on our constitution, the shameless of Congress were ready with their bizarre explanations. First it was the mild denial that a holy cow like Aswani Kumar could possibly never have done anything silly. When it all looked fishy, the same shameless lot came up with yet another of their bizarre spectacle. According to them Ashwani Kumar was just making sure that a grammatically incorrect report shouldn’t land at our court’s doorstep. How nice of Ashwani Kumar to think of such high standard for the English that our investigative agencies scribe in their reports. No?

Here is the thing. Does Ashwani Kumar have any business of going through the confidential reports, which are of judicial nature; even if the intent was to correct the grammar? Is he allowed to go through the pages which otherwise are sealed and supposed to be opened before the honorable judges? The act of Ashwani Kumar looks more inexplicable when our apex court was critical of the kind of investigation that was going around getting the truth in CoalGate. No wonder our apex court didn’t take the adventures of this grammar Nazi too lightly. If at all one cares to read through the observations of Supreme Court on this, it is much more than a rap on the knuckles. It was a direct accusation on Ashwani Kumar on how he tried his wicked best to manhandle the truth in striking out phrases where the PMO along with its boss was blamed squarely for the mess. Even the second affidavit filed by CBI nails the lies of Ashwani Kumar and the whole congress party.

But you know what? When rest of us believes the act of Ashwani Kumar is nothing short of criminal conspiracy against the nation, the morons in Congress trying to brush this under the carpet by terming it as an act of impropriety. Only impropriety? Seriously? Since when the act of shielding highway robbers and dessert thugs, is an act of mere impropriety? Since when obstructing the truth to come out is an act of impropriety? Since when a moron who conspires against an entire nation for self-gain is termed as a rude person? Since when a party with each of its constituents being corrupt to the core is allowed to sawed away their act of looting by terming it as pure impropriety on the part of few?

I am struggling to decide, if I should laugh or cry, looking at the situation we have landed up. A moron who intentionally tries to defend his incompetent boss by modifying confidential reports is the law minister himself. How funny and sad at the same time when we see a thug himself is made the custodian of law. If that is not enough, the crooked party, rather sacking such rotten entities from responsible posts is actually justifying the missing integrity with the moron. To justify that what they end up doing? Yes, ask the attorney general to stand before our apex court and tell blatant lies without even blinking the eyelids.

This is perhaps equivalent to the idiom – ‘Country going to the dogs’.

Karnataka Handed Over In A Platter

2013-05-06T12:41:00.001+05:30

Our media is in a real bad habit of coming up with so called exit polls after each election voting is over. In a race to show, who understands the nuances of Indian democracy better, these media houses start airing their exit polls immediately after the polling booths are closed for the day. There in fact are people like Yogendra Yadav who have made a fortune in coming up with skewed numbers after each and every poll. No denying that the numbers these political Gurus come up with doesn’t vary much from the reality of the counting day, still the manner in which our media houses show up their understanding of our politics looks little bizarre.

Well as of me, I don’t believe much on these exit polls. A group of clueless idiots going ahead asking few thousand of the potential voters of their choice and furnishing numbers doesn’t anyway reflect the true psyche of the entire voting lot. Fancy names like CVoter or some nonsense to that effect might interest a large constituents to remain glued to their television sets and listen to the blabbers of enlightened specimen like Yogendra Yadav but for me, the reality when the EVMs finally gets unlocked might throw a surprise or two. Same can be said about the latest exit polls of recently concluded Karnataka elections. Same people; exactly the same kind of discussions with unsubstantiated numbers flashing on the screen with different color schemes; same TuTu-MainMain between a Congress and a BJP representative either rubbishing or vindicating the outcome of the exit polls, depending on which side of the expected result they are in; it was some kind of action replay of earlier exit polls went whole through yesterday evening. To say the least, it was annoying.

That said I have a mixed feeling on these latest exit polls. Being a staunch BJP supporter while the horrid numbers for the party was disappointing, at the same time I was happy with our democracy. I was happy because; from the core of my heart I was delighted to see the people of Karnataka doing justice to the five year long mis-governance and corruption activities of the ruling BJP. The exit polls gave me a glimmer of hope that our voters no more remain the oblivious, sold for a bottle of liquor types anymore. They now certainly are judging the candidates and the party, purely on the basis of governance, honesty and delivery. If these are early symptoms of what we can expect during 2014 general elections, then I am sure how precarious the condition of Congress would be post May 2014. I was happy that people are now serious about their own wellbeing by coming out of their cocooned mindset of worshiping absolute nutcases on the basis of history and family names. I was happy that people in true sense are expecting their representatives to be more truthful and accountable to their jobs. The moment the sorry figure for BJP started flooding in to my TV screen, I immediately tweeted my joy, not as a BJP supporter but as a strong believer in our democracy.

Now if the exit poll turnouts to be a horror flick for BJP on 8th May, there has to be something which must be blamed. There has to be some fact finding that must go within and outside BJP purview to nail the faults and going about admitting it in public with a sincere promise of them not getting repeated again. Someone from the top layer of BJP must admit the mistakes and apologize to the people of Karnataka for betraying them after getting a good mandate in 2008. But is BJP game for it? Are the jokers from Karnataka BJP cell openly admit their hara-kiri and beg forgiveness from the people?

From Reddy brothers to Yeddyurappa, the party made blunders after blunders to land up at such a receiving end of the public wrath. In a highly educated state like Karnataka, it was a great mistake on the part of BJP and its top brass to cover up seasoned crooks like Reddy brothers. Honestly, I was never expecting such a stealthy stand from Sushma Swaraj. It is no secret; it is only because of Mrs. Swaraj that the Reddy brothers got such long ropes to play with national resources. Had there been no hands of blessing of Mrs. Swaraj, the brother duo would have been behind bars much, much earlier than they finally did. That was the first big mistake of BJP in their 5 year tenure. A party which was seen cornering the crook Congress on various corruption allegations at center was readily sheltering notorious morons like the Reddy brothers. People certainly didn’t take it very well. As captain Sparrow of the ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ fame said – ‘Good people have so much to lose but bad people got nothing in comparison’. People never expected honesty from Congress hence rampant act of looting by their party men never come as a surprise for the people of India. I mean, that is what Congress is doing for last 60 odd years. Looting the nation, that is. But in reverse, a party like BJP which claims itself as a party with some difference with untainted stalwarts like Atal Bihari Vajpaye once leading the lot; an act of corruption emanating from their didn’t go down well with a lot of people.

Second reason that I see is the handling of Yeddyurappa. When the need of the hour for BJP was to act swiftly against corrupt Reddy brothers, they conveniently sat over it but at the same time, for reasons not conceivable to me, acted too quickly against Yeddi. Even till date nothing has been proved against Yeddi. Just to negate the bad name BJP has gained post Reddy-Bellari fiasco, no thought was put in before asking Yeddi to go. Yeddi going out and forming his own party was expected to hit the BJP’s fortune. Because the voters those were going to vote for Yeddi were never Congress voters. In the absence of Yeddi’s new party, those votes were destined to flow in to BJP’s boxes. The southern bastion of BJP which has the maximum Lingayats in the voters list was divided in the middle, post BJP-Yeddi split and that is what reflecting in the exit polls. I wish BJP hasn’t played into the hands of the opposition and sacked Yeddyurappa without any substantial reasons.

But can you really stop the morons of Congress from displaying their foolishness at the slightest opportunity? You certainly can’t. Look at this Sanjay Jha and his foolishness so vehemently written in those 140 characters. Of all the people, a Congressi is lecturing about honesty and sincerity. That is like Dawood Ebrahim advocating for peace. No? While the BJP is expected to lose a good 11% of their 2008 vote share, the corrupt Congress party is gaining nothing from it. It in a way shows, people are definitely disappointed with BJP but are not happy with Congress either. Whatever the mandate Congress going to get is purely because, there is a lack of alternative in the state. Even the clandenstine HD father-son duo could be more notorious than BJP-Congress put together. So the joy filled sycophancy of Sanjay Jha and many like him are a clear sign of foresight bankruptcy and if at all the mandate shows some kind of ‘beginning of the end’, it has to be that of Congress in next general election. As I said in the first paragraph, if the voters have turned intelligent, as I thought them to be, clowns like Jha would get no place to hide their rotten faces once 2014 general election results start pouring in.

All in all, it is not a win for Congress but a loss for BJP. Had BJP seen the writings on the wall, they wouldn’t have handed over their first southern state on a platter to their opponents. I am sure; the rear loving Congress stooges would shower all the credit to the college dropout heir apparent but in reality he has got no impact on the fortunes of Congress party in the state. It is just that the opponents badly lost the plot a good couple of years back and made the path of the notorious party to power a lot easier. Toadies may even hail Sonia Gandhi for the outcome but that is anyway far from being true, which all including the clowns of the party know very well. For me, none should take the credit for the expected victory of Congress in Karnataka, except the BJP itself and few of its top honchos, including Mrs. Sushma Swaraj. Hope the lessons learnt as far as BJP is concerned and that too in a very bitter way.

The Day Sajjan Kumar Become A Holy Cow

2013-05-02T11:31:00.000+05:30

Call this miscarriage of justice or benefit of doubt given to the scoundrel or plain political foul play, the latest court order acquitting Sajjan Kumar in 1984 Sikh riot case is something which has dented our faith in our judiciary. As unbelievable as it can get, the courts (that too lower) took close to thirty years to figure out how innocent Sajjan Kumar was all this while.

I pity, both on our judiciary, our investigative agencies and the thousands of Sikhs who suffered in the hands of the skunks like Sajjan Kumar. As if losing your dear ones weren’t a great pain itself, the hapless relatives were subjected to a long and tiring fight of 30 years for justice. And what they get at the end of this long fight? Absolutely nothing. A person whom they have seen instigating mobs to kill Sikhs in exchange of cash reward; a person against whom they have testified with abhorrence is set free by our courts. What they have seen in their own eyes or what they have suffered because of Sajjan Kumar hold no fortitude for our courts to look in and provide that much needed healing touch. I pity on our entire criminal justice system altogether.

Whom to blame for this sabotage of justice? I don’t blame our judiciary entirely, for they decide based upon whatever they are fed with as proof and certainly it is not the job of our courts to dig out truth from the rumbles. It is the job of our investigative agencies like CBI to take care of this most important cog of our justice system. Looking at the latest statement of CBI boss, the last thing we can expect from CBI is some investigation free from political interference. And it is no secret who or which political party stands as a beneficiary from the shoddy outcome of Sajjan Kumar’s trail. A government which could very well be the most corrupt of its kind since we gained independence; buried neck deep in scams and corruption activities could certainly be better off without answering uncomfortable questions about one of their own, had the court decision indicted Sajjan Kumar the wrong way. It could have been a triple whammy for the spokespersons of Congress party when they allready are clueless on how to manage the avalanches in the form of Sarabjit Singh and unauthorized Chinese incursion. To add to the self-infected woes, the recent reopening of Jagdish Taytler’s case on 1984 genocide hasn’t helped the nefarious interest of Congress party at all.

But what about the victims and their families? What about those who saw and testified Sajjan Kumar leading a mob and asking them to kill Sikhs with cash reward of Rs 1000/- per Sikh head? What about the statements like ‘Ek bhi Sardar nehin bachna chahiye’ enchanted by Sajjan Kumar while instigating the rowdy mob? How could the courts overlook such incriminating evidence against a person who no way deserves any kind of leniency? How the words of those who suffered and know precisely about their oppressor, could so easily be sidelined? I blame this on CBI and other investigative agencies, which also includes the Delhi police. Systematically these two institutions tried their best to weaken the case so that their political bosses in Congress could enjoy a continued stress free life. Looking at the number of times CBI tried to file closer reports on Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler’s case, it wonders me if CBI was pressed into service to unearth the truth and apprehend the bastards or find excuses to close the case.

Even the particular case where Sajjan Kumar was let off while five others were convicted sounds more like an organized mishandling of truth than justice. On the basis of the same witness, who testified against SK and the other five; while SK was termed a holy cow, the rest five were sentenced. How is that possible when the words of witnesses nails five people but fails to convince the court about a particular political idiot, for the same crime? It bewilders me to even imagine the semantics of our lower court’s modus operandi since they even choose to ignore the 2012 statement of CBI where it has accused Sajjan Kumar squarely for instigating a mob to butcher innocent Sikhs. How it is conveniently covered up when people not only have heard SK shouting ‘whoever kills the sons of the snakes would get reward from me’ but also have testified the same in the courts? Don’t our courts value the words of the oppressed but agrees to take sides of morons like Sajjan Kumar just because they are politically well connected?

What about the details of November 1 when Sajjan Kumar hold three consecutive rallies in as many hours and led a mob from Palam to Mangolpuri, all the while shouting ‘Kill the Sardars and Indira Gandhi is our mother and these people have killed her’? Why the courts choose to ignore the arguments of the CBI prosecutor where he has stamped the possible accomplishment of Sajjan Kumar in 84 riots? Why no steps were taken to set these Delhi police goons straight since they are also accused of keeping mum as the whole genocide was planned by the rogues of Congress party? What about even the chilling details of the manner in which senior Congress men were distributing Kerosene to the mob? Why a certain Brahmanand Gupta, president of the A-4 Block Congress and his role in distributing the inflammable never taken into consideration? How is this possible that none has given a serious thought about this rascal Gupta and his notorious role in supplying potential fatal armory to the irate crowd?

The entire thing looks shoddy. The more I study about 84 riots, the more I feel dejected about the nonexistence of justice in our country. A peace loving community was attacked, killed, their women raped, children orphaned and yet after 30 years we are setting free one moron after another from the accused list. Had there been lack of evidence, the verdict of the courts could have been taken as the outcome of fate but to surprise all, the rogues are been let lose after having incriminating evidence of them being more than just instigators. Disparaging sounds such an understatement here.

A party which sheds gallons of crocodile tears for the so called minorities conveniently forgot to note that Sikhs also belong to the same minority community. While they are head-over-heels in shouting for justice for the Gujarat riot victims, they are defending and covering up their own people who are accused of more serious minority atrocity. Hang Modi remains the motto of Congress while they go ahead honoring Rajiv Gandhi with Bharat Ratna for reacting with ‘when a big tree falls, earth shakes’, when asked about the Sikh genocide. And shame on Manmohan Singh for being a party to the interest of this grossly inept, corrupt and self-serving lot. He himself being a Sardar must introspect about his contribution to heal the wounds of his own brothers and sisters from his own community. If he can't or intentionall don't want to then what could be said about a person who can actively conspire to backstab his own people? Can we expect him to carry any notion in doing justice to the rest of the nation? Perhaps not.

I am sorry to say this but I am beginning to hate being called an Indian. I hate to be part of a country where justice is as far from the oppressed as is sanity from our political class. And I am told we are the biggest and most vibrant democracy of the globe. Aren’t we? Flabbergasting!!

Open Letter To Digvijay Singh

2013-04-22T13:07:00.001+05:30

Suggested By : Jai Gulabani (@JaiGulabani)

Dear Digvijay Singh,

See, I for a change took your complete and full name. This itself should come as a refreshing change for you. For some time, people have forgotten your real name as suitable adjectives have long replaced your loving appellation and I am sure you won’t be feeling very good about this. Forget the adjectives; even a name which synonyms with someone who has conqured the world, in reality is doing some first grade rear licking of a false dynasty. This itself is a shame to your name and your parents who have thought their son would concur the world someday. I bet the couple would be turning in their graves looking at their son and the amazing bootlicking capabilities thereof. Even the adjectives are quite a jolt to your astounding persona. Don’t they? I mean Diggy, Doggy, Raja Babu, Gutter mouth, Diggy the rear licker; heavens. This is so disparaging for a person who once was the chief minister of a state and that too as big as Madhya Pradesh.

While the world don’t really think much about you or your name without a Maa-Behen Gaali tucked therein, I for sure respect, if not you but your parents who must have given your name with pride and affection. And as it is, for your nonsense your parents shouldn’t be shamefaced at any cost. Hence your complete name to start with.

Coming back to the agenda of this mail. Are you a human? I mean, I thought it is only God who knows everything that’s happening on the face of the planet. But how wrong I was with my perception, I tell you. You come as a breath of fresh air and a human encyclopedia with knowledgebase so vast even to shame all the Nobel laureates put together till date and with all probability the laureates to come in next 200 years. The interesting part, as far as your know how is concerned is your accomplishment in knowing every secret to the last molecule, when it comes to some kind of controversy. I mean the controversies that could project BJP, all Hindu centric organizations or for that matter Narendra Modi in bad light. That’s quite interesting, let me assure you. How could of all the people Hemant Karkare thought of calling you and let know his fear? I mean, the threat calls that he was routinely getting from Sangh people since he was head-over-heels in unearthing the RSS link in Malegaon and Samjhota Express blasts. I was sure about you but never thought Mr. Karkare to be so dumb to confine in you with such volatile information. I can’t simply digest that he was not aware of your gutter mouth talents and how big a nuisance you are at large, to open up with such sensitive stuffs. It’s not your problem Singh Saheb; I feel pity on the maturity level of our late ATS chief for such hara-kiri. He could have gone down the street and could have picked up absolutely anyone, if he has that huge urge of letting know the threats to his life, but you?

Another aspect of your life that urges me to replace your name with the word ‘shameless’ is your unconditional tongue, hanging out with drools dripping, in search of some Gandhi family boots to lick at any given instance. Doesn’t matter if that pair of leathers are those of a person, half of your age with no brains. How shameful it is on the part of an ex CM who readily cleans the toilet bowls of Gandhi household as part of his daily itinerary. Is your life so cocooned with the shit of Gandhi dynasty and a certain Rahul Gandhi? I mean, given a chance you may well agree to be tied down by your neck and crawl alongside Rahul Baba wherever he goes. Won’t you? I don’t deny, except getting yourself tied by the neck with other end of the rope in the hands of some Gandhi family member (including Priyanka’s kids), you are pretty much doing the rest. That also includes barking unnecessarily for your masters but does that qualify one to be a so called political leader; even with respect to Congress standards? There is something called sycophancy but you are in fact much above this dreaded word which is an official syndrome with each member of the Congress party. What’s the take dear Diggy Raja when you delightfully lose your very own identity so that you get some first family posteriors on daily basis to lick? So flabbergasting, not only for an ex CM but also for a man at your age; let me tell you.

By the way, what your Baba is up to nowadays? Since the days the theatrical clown lost badly in the UP election, where you happened to be his advisor; he pretty much has gone underground. He even not had been seen off late hobnobbing with a dreaded specimen like you either. Though I appreciate him for taking my advice with sincerity, where I have warned him of dire consequences if he continues mingling with you any further, but still it looks awfully disoriented when you get the snub after such a long period of tireless service for the dynasty. I feel sorry for you Diggy, I really feel sorry for you. The world is such gratitude less place. No?

But did that stop you from Rahul arse worshiping? When the prince himself is chickening out by the mere mention of the word priminister, you just not were agreeing to let your guards down. Do you? Even though half of the Congressi lot have consoled themselves with the fact that running a nation is no job of a pizza delivery boy, you still continue with your trumpet of Rahul magnanimity and tell us what exactly the heir apparent wanted to convey when he chickened out. When even his own mother is not sure what to do now since the prince refused to wear the crown, you are there to throw at us a different perspective with your grammar-Nazi qualities. You dissect the utterances of your master with all possible past, future and future-continuous tenses to let all of us know, how the prince in fact was conveying his readiness for the top job; not his refusal as we all thought it to be. I salute your scale of absurdity where even straight words don’t gel with the wavelength of your minimal brain.

One more important thing Diggy Bhai. For you, all that happens against the rogues like SIMI or Indian Mujahideen is wrong and fabricated? In fact for you even what happened to a skunk called Osama Bin Laden was wrong. If that is not enough, in all likelihood you could very well have conferred Bharat-Ratna to Osamaji, given a chance. Ohh yes, when scoundrels who carry out terror attacks on our soil remain innocent for you, you find people like Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare thugs and touts? How nonsensical.. Err.. Secular one can get from here? Perhaps going to the houses of the bastards who blew up few dozen in a recent blast and vouch for their innocence? No? Batla house was a fake encounter since few peace loving youth who mistakenly fired rocket launchers at Delhi police during the raid were killed? And as routine to your habit of knowing all the secret of the world, you are sure that Inspector Sharma wasn’t killed by those rabid ruffians in the house but by his own men. Guess, Mr. Sharma must have called you milliseconds before the bullet from his colleague’s gun hit him. No?

How I wish Diggy Raja, a whole monument like Taj Mahal is built on your memory. How I wish your spectacular brain is preserved somewhere for the future generations to come and pay their homage with pure and esthetic astonishment. Astonished because some modern day great would have done an Einstein (his utterances for Mahatma) on you by then and proclaimed – ‘The world would be surprised to know, such a man in blood and flesh ever walked on this planet’. And by the way, ignore people like this person who has replied to my Tweet and doing all the name calling. People like him are just jealous of your possible future and the accolades that you are destined to get worldwide.

Regards

Man with a Bamboo

A Rapscallion Called Shakeel Ahmed

2013-04-17T16:37:00.002+05:30

Do you know an idiot going by the name Shakeel Ahmad? Even if you don’t, there is little to feel sorry about. The least one knows about such scalawags is better since reprobates like him are a big blot to our democracy, our nation and most probably the humanity at large. But unfortunately we have plenty of such scoundrels in our political spectrum.

Back to the topic. No sooner the news of a bomb going off in front of the BJP Bengaluru office started coming in, this sycophant, who in all probability having an IQ level as low as the bacteria that you flush down your toilet bowls every morning, tried to give it the filthiest political color of the recent times. And how I always thought Congress has only a certain Digvijay Singh at their disposal to do the evil political painting job on every damn thing that can be remotely politicized. According to this rascal, the bomb blast could end up helping BJP in the upcoming legislative elections. How irresponsible and idiotic one can get? And he is a so called leader, as per our standards. In a matter as serious as a terror strike on our soil, it holds no importance for this moron since all that he sees in it is politics and political gain. In a way he was suggesting the world, the possible angle of BJP itself perpetrating such a heinous act, in order to garner some edge for the upcoming elections. At times even the word ‘bastard’ seems way less sufficient to describe a persona and unfortunately this Shakeel Ahmad is one from that rare cult.

More than a dozen people, including two teenage girls and 8 police personnel getting injured in the process is not a concern for this moron. He cares least if the injured would survive this onslaught or not but was ready with his filth, even before the injured could be shifted to nearby hospitals for that much needed medical attention. How maniac and self-serving bastard one can be to stoop to such level of inhuman behavior where leeches even look sober in comparison; is beyond me. No wonder the social media burst into outrage after the rascal did what he and his party does best. That is to spread hatred among the different communities of the society and rule by dividing the concerned voices. Looking at the response that this buffoon got for his filthy tweet only shows how ridiculous his idea was to spew venom in the time of misery and how badly it has boomeranged at his own ass. And as always, the sinister party that this jackass belongs has distanced itself from the comment by terming it as a personal opinion.

This bloody business of spreading hatred has to stop. We can’t tolerate so many Congress scamps having such venomous personal opinions and audacious enough to spew it on regular interval. If the morons can’t check their tongues and end up dividing the society further, it has to be the responsibility of the Congress party to call the dog catching unit and pack these rabies infected mongrels to the place they belong. Just distancing themselves today and cajoling the next day won’t work and not acceptable as well. We as a nation are sick of such obnoxious personal opinions for quite some time and it is about the point where the cunning foxes disguised under the sheep skin must be dealt with utmost sincerity.

Not to blame this filthy Shakeel Ahmad alone, whole of Congress is like this. Highly communal, opportunistic rogues with the sole interest of looting the nation by either fooling the masses or dividing the masses. Every time there transpires any kind of untoward incident, at least one from the congregation of thugs would stand up and showcase his personal opinion and politicize the whole matter. Be it after 26/11 where another clown Digvijay Singh skirted a controversy when he talked about his personal discussion with Hemant Karkare, where he alleged to have confined on him about the possible threat from few Hindu centric organizations or the same rascal in companion with another scoundrel by the name Amar Singh after the Batla House encounter where they termed it as a false encounter; we always have one clown or the other readily positioned to sabotage the core concerns. As I said earlier, this bloody business of playing with national security for cheap votebank has to stop. Cultivating politics in matters of terrorism has to end and end at once. So when BJP raises the issue of Congress’s affinity in playing politics with every damn thing that is of national interest, it shouldn’t come as a surprise but a reality check, both for the party called Congress and it’s moronic constituents like Shakeel Ahmad.

That said, as far as expectations of BJP to have some kind of answer from Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi on the latest vomiting done by this Shakeel chap; well it is hoping against the hope. Because people who are serious of governance and genuinely wish the best for the nation would take such deplorable statements of Shakeel Ahmad seriously and work towards fixing the lousy bastard, but not reprehensible and self-serving figures like MMS or Sonia. For all that we know, they themselves might have positioned clowns like Ahmad to divide the society so that it gets easier for them to rule and keep on looting. Rather being a malaise, people like Shakeel Ahmad, Digvijay Singh could be trump cards for them. Or it may be an innocent mistake on the part of Shakeel Ahmad to spill the core secret of Congress party and the tricks they employ to gain edge before elections.

I mean that is how Congress has managed to rule the nation since independence. The famous Chacha Nehru trick that the womanizer learnt from his British friends. Absolute Seculars these Congress clowns are. No?

Are We Governed By Hooligans?

2013-04-12T13:00:00.000+05:30

I am taking it from where the day long banner on Times-Now tried to suggest its viewers. Are we governed by goons? Maybe or maybe not. That said, if you really try to assess the situations that our democracy has gone through since its inception then may be not but if you bound your impost around last couple of decades or so then, yes we are not only governed by goons but also are forced to choose one among the goons as our so called representative. In fact they are not only goons but also are thugs, traitors, leeches and manipulators of highest degree.

A prestigious and heritage educational institute like the Presidency University could be a firsthand witness to the goons that we have elected to govern us. A bunch of TMC vandals stormed the campus and destroyed a century old laboratory the other day. Hang-on, the ruffians didn’t stop there. If eyewitnesses are taken into account, the delinquents manhandled many students with criminal intention and chased down girl students with a threat of raping them in public. Even the lady vice-chancellor of the university wasn’t spared from their indignation. She was also threatened by the miscreants of dire consequences, much to what they have threatened the girls. As per reports, at least a dozen students are badly injured with an equal number suffering from minor injuries. And if you have forgotten, it is the TMC that is ruling the state after coming to power on the backbone of some nonsense called Porivarton. Great Porivarton I must say where our students are manhandled and issued rape threats in broad daylight. Perhaps turning the state into a banana republic is what Porivarton is for Mamta Banarjee.

But do you think, someone is taking the blame and genuinely feeling ashamed for such rowdy behavior of its cadre? I would be surprised if you even be thinking of such statesmanship from TMC. As routine to any political party, the TMC distanced itself from the misdeeds, terming it as a plot of the opposition to malign TMC’s image. TMC’s image? Seriously? Even the vice-chancellor’s statement that she saw the goons carrying TMC’s flags were rubbished on the grounds that anybody can procure those wretched stuff with an intention to show the party in bad light. Such holy cows these TMC chaps are that they are almost Teflon coated to any kind of nefarious accusations. Even the evangelist called Derek O’Brien was all but taken the avatar of Manmohan Singh for every question that was landing at his Twitter mentions. He was silent on the earlier denying of TMC of any involvement when pictorial proofs in the form of Partha Basu, a TMC goon turned councilor started appearing alongside the vandals those ransacked the university. It took me half an hour and five tweets (three I have shown) to get some kind of reply from the TMC chief whip. And boy, wasn’t that a philosophical one?

For records Mr. O’Brien, I am not asking you to establish any kind of communication mechanism with me or many others those were bugging you for valid reasons. It was an honest question that requires an equally honest answer. Rhetoric in the form of philosophical statements has got no place in matter as serious as what your TMC goons are alleged to have committed. We are not here to judge your competence as a leader nor are we asking you to showcase any. Rather than communication, we are expecting a true leader to come back with his responses for the genuine and aggrieved queries of the people who have made him a leader at the first place. Rather than quoting Peter Drucker (honestly, I don’t know who this person is), we would have been happier if there were some simple and crisp honesty. Honesty in the form of accepting the fault and taking the blame head-on, as any true leader would do. Are you leader enough to admit the fault and promise to deal with your party goons, those involved in the Mafiosi with iron fist? Can you assure us concerned people that our children won’t ever be sandwiched between the political slugfest of TMC and an equally notorious CPI? Can you make an example of your goons by handing them strictest of punishment for threatening young girls with rape? If not, then please keep Peter Drucker and many of your other political Gurus to yourself. We really don’t care what Mr. Drucker said on which bloody context. We have enough theatrical personas in our political spectrum and we undoubtedly would be better off without a certain Derek O’Brien and his spectacular one-liners.

Before I leave you Mr. O’Brien, could I ask you the reason for such vandalism? Just because Mamata Banarjee got heckled by CPI goons, you can’t pounce on innocent students of Presidency as you guys don’t have a substantial presence in its students union. Isn’t that the correct reason dear quiz master? Be ashamed, first of all for the pathetic law and order situation of your state where even the CM herself is not safe from the buffoons. If the CM can be manhandled at such ease, we can guess how precariously the common man’s safety is placed in your state. Are you ashamed with the fact that the law and order situation has gone to dogs in Bengal or Poschima Bango, if you like that way? Did your party or your leader who so vociferously vouches for Porivarton has taken any steps to fix this basic of governance? Can your CM assure us of safety when her own safety is so perilously positioned?

Questions are though Derek and I know it. To be honest, I would have done pretty much the same (turning philosophical) had I been at your place. Not to take away the due credit from you; you at least thought of replying, unlike most of our other politicians who will just hit the mute button. But what required is much, much more than your tweeter reply. What required is action on the ground and that too in a hurry. You know it, as does many in your party. And please educate your finance minister that he can’t just brush everything by terming them as Tuchho Ghatana. If not anything, he at least is insulting and ridiculing the very people who have voted him to the post he is presently in. God forbidden, if people start taking note of all such Tuchho Ghatana, he along with many others in TMC might end up losing their deposits in next legislative elections. Hope someone at TMC is taking all such eventualities into account.

Next time, hope to see a genuine reply from you Derek. Not just communication in the form of being a very good listener. Time for listening has long gone. Now the demand of the hour is raw and unperturbed action.

Open Letter To Barkha Dutt

2013-04-09T15:36:00.002+05:30

Dear Barkha,

I would have loved to dispatch this letter a long time back. But see, for a living I have to work, unlike you who gets paid in lakhs for just telling lies. The delay in posting the letter is majorly due to lack of time and of course the belief that you must be aware of all the nonsensical attributes that you are equipped with, hence leaving me nothing new to make you aware of. So an outright apology for coming up late would probably set the tone of the letter. And more of, since now you are enjoying your holiday in New York and dinning with who’s-who of Hollywood, the letter could just cheer you up if you are feeling little homesick. For better result please do read it while the famous number, ‘Chithi Ayi Hai, Ayi Hai’ of Pankaj Udas running in the background.

Ok, now let’s move on. For starters, I would love to know your rate. I mean not the rate as in rate but the amount you charge to peddle a single lie. Does it depend on the context or the person against whom you are paid to lie? Or is it both that you take into consideration before quoting a number? Or you have some quarterly, monthly disbursement engagement with special clients like Congress party, knowing the amount of lies you blabber for them on hourly basis. I can understand the quantity of effort it requires to take count of the number of lies told versus money received, if it is a per-lie-payment mechanism. Knowing the brilliance of yours and the crooked party that depends on lies to protect its morons on daily basis, I am sure you guys must have devised an error free payment mechanism. Taking a safe guess, I can say, in all probability it could be once in a week pay cycle. Am I correct with my guess work, Barkha? And another interesting datum, which in fact I have even bet with my friends. Out of the money that must be flowing into your unsolicited bank account, a good 40% would be going to NDTV’s account as commission and facilitation fee. If you care to answer back on this with affirmation, I might just demand Rs 500/- from my friends as the gambled amount.

But jokes apart; why you sold yourself? I mean what was that urging need for you to sell yourself as a journalist to the political skunks and that too at such a cheap rate. I mean, I could have understood if it had been your Mom who was critically ill and you were in desperate need of money for her medical bills, hence you were all but forced to sell your moral and ethics or may be beyond. But as far as I know I guess something this terrible has never happened in your life. So it bewilders me to understand, what kind of person who can sell himself/herself without any dying need. Just as a matter fact, someone getting up one morning and deciding to sell himself/herself sounds as absurd as ‘Power Is Poison’ nonsense of Rahul Gandhi. Or is it that NDTV never pays its anchors and asks them to collect as much they can by lying? Much like the way these restaurants employ their waiters against minimal pay while assuring them lot of tip money from the dinners. In whichever way, it would be interesting to know the employment model of NDTV as well as the specific reason that inspired you to start lying in front of the cameras without even blinking your eyes.

Along with lying, I am told you are a professional Dalal? I am extremely sorry if a Hindi word like ‘Dalal’ is a mismatch to your so called English News anchor image. We can change that to something more sophisticated like middleman, power broker if you wish but if you ask me, I would still prefer the ‘Dalal’ tag tucked behind you. Because it defines you better that way than the polished English vocabularies ever could.

Coming back to the topic. What that Radia tape was all about. I know you don’t like to speak on this topic since you just saved yourself with the skin of your teeth but a so called fearless jurno, who even has the courage to jump inside the bunkers of Kargil to air her nonsense from there, must stand up and face the truth head on. If you feel the nation would believe on your false persona that you have webbed around yourself with your lies then I must say; Rahul Gandhi is a graduate with a Phd. sounds more believable. Error of judgment that was; didn’t you said this to cover your stinking trails? When a clip that runs for several minutes where one finds you doing outright Dalali for Congress in the upcoming government formation with another equally notorious woman; you certainly can’t term that as error of judgment. I for any day can believe if someone says it was an error of judgment on the part of Kasav since he believed a moron like Hafeez Saeed but not you, who were plotting a sinister plan to rape our democracy with another woman. I am sure the explanation of ‘an error of judgment’ or some nonsense to that effect is an afterthought Barkha while in reality you were pimping for your political bosses. Nevertheless, be thankful to your stars and your amazing sycophancy abilities that you were never questioned for such blatant incapacitation of our electoral system. Had it been someone else, not on the payrolls of Congress; all the investigative wings would have pounced on him/her, much like the way the idiots of Hariyana do whenever they see a single woman late night.

Other than telling lies before the cameras, you have got another hobby; I am told? That is to threat random people on Twitter with legal action. Every time one raises the issue of Radia Tapes and asks you uncomfortable questions, you get fired up like a drunkard rogue and start issuing threats? Are you permanently on drugs or what Barkha? What kind of insanity is this when genuine questions offend you so much that you search for your lawyer’s phone number from your diary? That too for every passing fart. Your lawyer must be a real happy man. No?

Keeping aside your happy lawyer for a moment, since when our laws have started protecting the Dalals, who go ahead and sell our democratic framework for cheap personal gain? Since when a Dalal has gone to such levels that he/she is out of bounds for everyone? Your political bosses might have saved you this time but for sure the wheel has to turn a full circle and when that eventually happens, I am afraid there won’t even be any net connection available at your disposal to warn people on Twitter. Because you would be languishing behind the bars for a good part of your life.

Hope you remember the poor blogger Chaitanya Kunte, who squarely blamed you and very rightly so for the killing of our security forces during 26/11 and how again you threatened him with legal action. It is surprising to see, how a morally bankrupt person herself can issue threats to others on the backbone of our legal system. The very legal system she was trying vehemently to screw up in association with another pimp going by the name Niira Radia. You know what Barkha; the attitude of yours keeps me reminding of a famous Hindi proverb that goes like – ‘Chori so Chori, Upar se Seena Jori’. Isn’t it Barkha? It is like a thug issuing threats of police to the person he is robbing and warning him to stop resisting. No?

Hope you will let all of us know what you are smoking for last 10 odd years. Perhaps that is the only way one can find the cure to your fervent lying syndrome and accordingly admits you at a proper place for rehabilitation. The cure to your disease would be a long process since the lying syndrome has long gone inside your gene which if not cured will otherwise produce even bigger liars as your offspring. Of course, provided you get married. But hang-on; is it that you have already secretly married a Kashmiri Muslim long time back or it is a rumor that is doing the rounds? I mean a lie administered to a seasoned liar makes perfect sense to me though. Taste of one’s own medicine, you know?

Rahul Vs Modi – A Battle Of #HashTags

2013-04-08T17:32:00.000+05:30

I don’t blame Rahul Gandhi alone for the entire range of gaffe he has managed to produce till now. A major part of the blame can be bestowed upon the lack of something called brain and another major chunk to the number of sycophants that routinely convince the brainless that he is no less to an average Nobel laureate when it comes to intellect, articulation and maturity. When you have professional rear lickers crowding you with false praise, one generally tends to get his minimal thought process blurred. So I give that to Rahul Gandhi here.

The recent address of Rahul on CII platform or today’s FICCI addressing of Narendra Modi, made one thing clear. The difference between Rahul and NaMo is much, much bigger than I ever thought it to be. And the difference is in every sense. Here is a man who came to politics from a very humble background of a Chaiwala; struggled his way to the position he is in; made friends and foes along the way; understands the nuances of politics as well as nation’s demography; has shown astounding governance as a chief-minister and of course a man with a mission without withstanding slightest of nonsense. Now look at Rahul Gandhi in comparison. He is a man with no vision or ideology except a bag full of gimmickry and a borrowed surname. Someone who might not have known what struggle is all about. No effort whatsoever imparted to reach to the position he is in. Even if one genuinely tries to draw similarity between these two men, he would greatly struggle to put even one.

Beehive metaphor, or as it is been touted by the congress stooges makes one more thing clear about the prince. That is, he perhaps knows nothing about India. A country which has 40% of its population still struggling to eat plate full, someone belonging to the party which ruled the independent India almost 90% of the period, standing up and talking about inclusive growth is nothing but a cruel joke on the face of the nation. Had Rahul Gandhi or his ancestors who misgoverned the nation for decades, were serious about growth, we wouldn’t have those many poor suffering in our country now. Even if we can’t hold Rahul responsible for the misdeeds of his ancestors, his own approach towards the so called growth model is anything but suspicious. Suspicious because in last 10 years we have seldom seen this man taking proactive steps towards the nonsense he so vehemently vouched for in his CII speech.

Now 10 years is a long time for reforms to implement. It is even doubly easier for someone who has all the power at his disposal; had there been seriousness and conviction. Have we ever seen Rahul talking on important issues, let alone growth? The man who wants to turn an angle all of a sudden was all but silent when everyone else was talking about the mega 2G or CWG scam. He was silent when an entire nation was rallying behind Anna Hazare for Lokpal. He never mouthed his opinion when students were getting canned and water cannoned after the Delhi gang rape incident while he can pillion ride to Bhatta-Parsaul to bring home all those fabricated mass-rape, mass-murder nonsense. The sycophants can celebrate the ‘coming of age’ Rahul Gandhi blabbering at CII; it still can’t take away the truth behind the selective gimmickry of the prince. And the truth is the approaching general elections and the ground that this theatric personality is rapidly losing to a seasoned and delivering politician. The truth is the battle that Congress is losing out to BJP on social media. Rahul knows very well the bygone times where his forefathers could get away easily after each hara-kiri, aren’t going to come back. There is now a rational watchdog in the form of SM that would tear apart any mistake or theatrics. Even if without SM, he knows his mistakes and gaffe are too stinking to cover up. He knows his standard jingoisms inside Dalit homes taking him nowhere; not at least when he is pitted against NaMo. So this is one last ditch attempt to improve the personality or the lack of it so that he at least can do a face savor act, come 2014.

Even the Congress grey heads and clowns alike, don’t see a future for the drama king unless the battle over social media is brought to some kind of level playing field. And the comedians who are taking a lead in this cyber battle are the likes of Manish Tewari and Kapil Sibal. No wonder why the Congress has planned to invest around 100 crores to safeguard the prince by deploying paid lieutenants on various social media. Gargi Rawat’s (a jurno from the Nehru Dynasty Television [NDTV]) Tweet on this sums it up very well. I will take that tweet of her as insider info, looking at the closeness the channel she works for and the party of thugs enjoy.

Look at this Sanjay Jha, one of the many slaves who are ripping benefits out of the forced 100 crore budgeting of Congress. Here I feel pity on Rahul Gandhi more than when I started with this post. If one can have only such morons as supporters, it shows, the remaining days for drama are numbered. While the supporters of NaMo are there on their own, without being paid a penny, this man’s foolishness only exposes how desperately the congress is trying to buy support online. The idea of the exercise is not to change the perception of Rahul that is so diminishing but to buy artificial perception and congratulate each other for every hash tag that trends against Modi. This tweet alone reflects the tireless efforts of the paid morons in protecting a dimwit stupid ass from getting hounded in the real world. Have anyone ever seen a bigger sinister plot to protect the dynasty and the idiots that constitute it? Though I seldom reply with aggressive tweets, this buffoon forced me to change that policy. As far as my reply is concerned, the idea was to show Sanjay Jha his originality and where he stands in terms of truth and rationale.

I don’t think anyone has ever described Rahul Baba more accurately than the way Chetan did with this tweet of his. Isn’t Rahul a comet? Or perhaps the Helly’s comet, that one sees once in a generation. A lot of fanfare goes both pre and post the viewing while the utility of its presence in the sky for the nation is as vital as Sharad Pawar is to the agriculture ministry. People in Congress and the slaves those are paid from the pool of 100 crores for their tweets, can dance nude in joy, every time Rahul Gandhi changes his innerwear but for many, a clueless and witless person like Rahul Baba doesn’t really matter more than an average stand-up comedian that we see daily in Comedy Circus on Sony. Not sure of others but me and my friend circle hook up to YouTube to go through one of the so called spectacular speeches of the heir apparent, every time we are upset and there is an urge to roll on the floor laughing.

And how correct Chetan is with his warning to the corrupt and theatrical morons of Congress; though he might just have missed the tense by mistake. I would be extremely surprised if the beehive hasn’t yet realized how the caretakers are systematically looting them for some time. Because for me the routing that Congress received in UP, TN and Gujarat is nothing but the poisonous and painful stings that Chetan talks about in his Tweet. May be the fatal sting is right about the corner; as early as this Diwali.
