The coming attack from BIF forces is on expected lines. Knowing the Trio of MAD, such things would have been taken into account. NM-I was to get a proper hold on the environment, stabilise the country after the wanton "scorched-earth" policy of UPA-II and provide basic needs platform. One on which NM & Team could stand and ask for an additional 5 years of NM-II.

I beleive that the coming 5 years will have more of the same in terms of Vikas, but will include additional decisions that will have a major impact on our enemies...armed with the Sword and/or the pen.

As the NM Team knocks back one important task after another, the tasks lower on the list will become visible and be tackled. By then RW, as an ecosystem, supportive of the Country and with the ability to take on Shadow Warriors should have matured to a level of skill and more importantly, power and reach, expected of a population our size and ability. It is already showing these signs.

The RW ecosystem that we see in SocMed is a "Swayambhu" kind of movement an awakening of the people who earlier wanted "others", viz., the Government or the Armed/Police Forces to "stand-up" for them and their rights. We (the Nationalists) had forgotten to take the Cudgels on our behalf. We sometimes still want the PM to do this and that, as we don't realise our true power. We have had 5+ years to fight this asymmetric media & judicial war.

In hindsight, Modiji letting the RWE to take the fight to the MSM inimical to the Nationalists, was a blessing in disguise. IMHO et al...

I want 15 yrs of NM-1, then another 15 of Yogi provided he turns around UP, and earns his admin spurs, backed up by RW Youngistan and then another ten of the next guy. Claw this country back from the sh!ts who are willing to sell it down the river for power, just look at the loathsome imprecations hurled at India by these jerks in all foreign rags.

Apart from everything else in 2nd term, I hope for better vetting before appointment to sensitive posts. Avoid internal dissensions and present a united front. No hint of weakness or lack of control on state apparatus.

1. No amount of vetting can weed out all cases of malcontents or agenda lovers.
2. The pool at the top is inherited. It is highly skewed towards sickularitis and will remain so for the next 10 years at least. Expect intermittent cases of insider fire from time to time.
3. Even now there is no change at the intake level.

The only difference is that the yinduvadis who got into the system on their own merit have started to be more open and vocal.

a. Hopefully more of them get promoted to the top so as to expand the pool form where such constitutional posts are filled.
b. The Intake procedures are corrected to allow for a higher percentage of desh-premis instead of agenda-premis.

Well said Pankajs. The amount of cognitive dissonance in social media from some members of establishment on merely seeing the color saffron in any form or any strong expression of nationalism, culturally, administratively, or vocal is eye-opening and simultaneously dismaying.

So many of our so called best and brightest have been brainwashed literally beyond redemption. Brown sahibs in all but name and they are abusive towards their own peers and colleagues who see through the kool-aid. Worst is reserved for those of minority dispensation who are strong nationalists.

What's equally heart warming is despite all the pressure, coercion, shaming etc, the majority of our people are somehow still connected to our roots in one way or the other. Its not an easy fight for BIF by any means.

Google News search results are actively being gamed to shape opinions about India during election time. They are actively promoting articles written by Indian house negroes in Western rags. Out of the top 20 search results in Google News regarding "India" today, 16 are from New York Times, WaPo, BBC, CNN, The Guardian and AlJazeera. Even news from Times of India doesn't make it to page 1. This is becoming a serious problem and Anglo Saxons won't stop their mischief as long as we remain consumers of their digital ecosystem. We need to learn from China on how to set them right.

The veritable Anti-Modi scumbag and AAPtard, and alleged molester of women Mahesh Murthy while mocking Indian startups accidentally said something insightful. Comparing Chinese and Indian startups, he said something to the effect of "China's Twitter is Weibo. their Google is Baidu, and their Amazon is Alibaba. India's Facebook is Facebook, India's Twitter is Twitter."

We don't have an ecosystem. Volunteers have built something of a resistance, but they can be switched off by the platform owners at will. TrueIndology for example. People talk about Gab.ai being the solution, but even that is owned by conservatives in the Khanate.

the whole system is rigged to let the state govts put their leg in what should be a lok sabha matter. MPs are also elected into lok sabha from the same states.

its a system designed to induce no change at all just keep everyone fighting

Isn't this essentially the system derived erstwhile colonial masters?
We might criticize this system but it was this system that kept congis and left from changing constitution and doing more damage than they could.

Yesterday @AmitShah ji made very important point, he said BJP has been working on 120 seats on which BJP lost with a small margin in 2014 and it expects to win 80 seats out of this - something most experts & pollsters have clearly missed to point out.

NDA did pass the judicial appointments (and rolled over without a fight once it was struck down by hisonners) and reservation for economically backward classes. There is no action on Art 370, because they don't want to remove it, RS majority is just an excuse (honestly I don't think I have heard any BJP politico say this is the reason).

If memory serves me right ... AFTER the hisszoners struck NJAC down, the opposition went full throttle AGAINST the NDA.

1. With that being the final position how was NDA going to get NJAC back on track?/
2. IF the opposition went back on NJAC, which at least initially was non-partisan, how was the NDA going to get consent on the others contentious bills?

We need to be realistic.

To refresh memories on this forum

https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/ ... 774488.ece
Congress to Centre: Won’t support adventurism on NJAC
We will not support adventurism of the government per se,” he said when asked whether the party would back any government move in the wake of the Constitution Bench verdict scrapping the Act for setting up a National Judicial Appointments Commission to appoint judges to the higher judiciary.

“Please remove clearly perception and understanding of the people from your actions that you are trying to subvert institutions,” Mr. Singhvi said.

Noting that there was much to improve, he said that the Congress would look forward to reform of the Collegium system at the November three hearing by the Supreme Court in the matter.
1. What adventurism, when the act has IIRC, full support of the parliament including the CONgress's?
2. How come AFTER collaborating with the NDA on NJAC, CON started looking "forward to reform of the Collegium system"? In which case, how was the NDA going to get the NJAC, as is or revised, through the parliament?

This was CON systems signal to the Judiciary that it will block NJAC in any form and expects payback in its litigation against the NDA/GOI. Plain and simple.

The moral of this story is that with Congress in power, Emergency is never too far away. The Emergency nearly came knocking on our doors just 11 years ago. In 2019, the BJP will face a Congress that is much more angry and vengeful than the Congress of 2004.

One way Congress kept power was by keeping everybody off balance by constant stream of negative media campaign and CBI cases. All this was handled by 2nd & 3rd level operatives. I’ve never understood why BJP does not have this layer of leaders.

BJP even after securing majority in loksabha(first party to do after 30 years) could not even appoint a CVC or the CBI director without BIF controlled SC acting via its minions in the PIL circuit petitioning for striking down appointees by "ruling" on their credentials.
Heck even an appointment to a simple post like Army DGMS, the Supreme Court(which is the only Apex Court in the world which appoints its own Judges perverting the country's Constitution) struck down GOI's pick twice and appointed "its" pick.Just like the Court took control of the "lucrative" MCI & BCCI as soon as NaMo took over to keep it within the congie patronage system away from any aggressive anticorruption investigations & reform by the duly elected Govt.
SC shoots down MoD's DGMS pick once again
Dhananjay Mahapatra | TNN | Updated: Oct 31, 2018

NEW DELHI: In a major embarrassment to the defence ministry, the Supreme Court quashed the appointment of the Director General of Medical Services (Army) for the second time in three months but spared minister Nirmala Sitharaman of any wrongdoing .
A bench of Justices A K Sikri and Ashok Bhushan, which on August 1 had quashed MoD's decision to appoint Lt Gen Sanjiv Chopra as DGMS, on Monday set aside appointment of Air Marshal Rajvir Singh to the post and directed the ministry to appoint Lt Gen Manomoy Ganguly as the new DGMS (Army) within a week.
On August 1, while setting aside the appointment of Lt Gen Chopra as DGMS, the bench had perused the files to take a view that there appeared to be an attempt to deny Lt Gen Ganguly's claim to the post. It had sent the case back to the defence minister while reposing "full faith and confidence in the 'raksha mantri' that she would consider the entire matter in a totally dispassionate manner, with utmost objectivity and depicting total fairness".
What we need is continuous 5 year terms of PIF at power at center to clean the rotten conginess leached into the system by first exposing the rot to light and then dumping Bleach & Acid - like how it was done to the country's financial system this term.

Many institutions like Supreme Court, UPSC & its Bureaucracy need to be given above treatment and "turned" to PIF in a long process before one can claim that BJP has not used its onetime loksabha mandate to aggressively prosecute what is ultimately the System itself brought forth though decades of BIF & Congie elements incorporated into it.

'He Probably Wants to Replace Me as CM': Punjab Congress on Tenterhooks as Captain-Sidhu Rift Widens
On the recent rebellion by Sidhu, who had accused the chief minister of being responsible for denial of ticket to his wife Navjot Kaur from Chandigarh, Captain said he was harming the party with such irresponsible actions. “It is not his election but that of the entire Congress,” said the chief minister.

He added that it was for the high command to decide on any action against Sidhu but the party did not tolerate indiscipline. Responding to a question, Singh said he did not have any personal grievances with Sidhu, whom he had known since the latter was a child. “Perhaps he is ambitious and wants to be chief minister,” Captain said.

Instead of forcing people to click links with a "Guys, any truth to this or empty boast?" kind of clickbait?

My 1 star review of Netflix on Google Playstore immediately after watching the trailer & commenting & downvoting on youtube.
Netflix India is propagating Hinduphobia through its shows like Leila ,Patriot Act and Sacred Games all over the World. Iam worried that my school going children will be discriminated and harassed just because they profess Hindu faith.I will be petitioning my local elected representatives to sanction Netflix for its blatant Hinduphobia.
