^ HS Garu,
On Wednesday, VHP leader Ashok Singhal evaded a direct query on Modi when he said "the Ram temple issue should be resolved in Parliament. If Parliament doesn't decide, the saints will be forced to resort to agitation." "We are not discussing Narendra Modi and PM candidate. It should be decided by the BJP," he added.

I am glad that my gut feeling is correct.

NM will not and need not make any promises to VHP in Kumbhamela. Ram Mandir construction is VHP's task and it should focus on that task irrespective of which govt is in power at the center.

Building Ram Mandir can be done many ways. Either way VHP needs to take the leadership role for this project. If needed it should put pressure on NM to hold negotiations with muslim groups and get the RJB built.

I would give a definite second term to NM if he can do at least one item
- Absolute good governance. No Aman-ki-Tsutiyapanti
- RJB
- UCC
- A370

I am sure he will do 1st one when he becomes PM. The other three are bonus.

UCC and A370 need Constitution Amendment and with INC ruling in some of the states one can forget that.
However by concentrating on economic and social development of India he can make the Kashmiris clamor for open investment which could be linked to their request to revoke A370.

Right now Kashmiris have a feeling of jaziya from GOI and INC appeases for its own sake to wink at TSP about how good the Indian Muslims are in India.

UCC has to be recast as gender equity for all Indians male or female.

Again female Muslims have to get rich to demand property rights. And that can only happen with prosperity which is dependent on equitable development.

* After Khadija havent heard of another rich and prosperous Muslim female.


Heck I sound like a poltician!

I agree. Let VHP and Sangh elements deal with temple construction. Through good governance we can facilitate a greater dharmic revival all across the subcontinent.

INC handlers deserves credit for identifying and targeting their main threat a full ten years before he launches first hit-n-run raid on the dilli sultanate ramparts.

my out-of-the-box theory is that current seniors both in cabinet and raisina hill are the best moles Namo could hope for .... their own aspirations and that of their kids were constantly suppressed due to the need to genuflect before the dynasty, and under NAC orders they have run the economy into the ground. what talking points or success story does Yuvraj have to take to the masses? tales of his escapades in foreign vacations? spending a night in kalavati's hut with the bartania foreign secy? his cooking skills ? if the economy had been booming RG could have claimed all the credit for it.
his story will be hard to sell to the urban masses despite the MSM...and the MSM for lack of anything +ve to say on RG tends to harp on -ve of Namo and Guj desperately. everyone tunes out of that after a while. everyone wants to know who will in future give him and his kids better money and prospects...not a breakfast of bread, omelette stuff with minced congressi sickularism...it doesnt make stomach full.

for the rural masses alliances and local issues/handouts matter and there the INC needs to be watched carefully and countered.

IMVHO, they didn't identify him as a future threat. In fact they created this threat, a monster that they used to tame the kids...

But unwittingly they invented their own worst nightmare... that no longer scares the kids but is scaring its creator.

http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.co ... ram-smiles
SRCC, said a statement from the Gujarat government, invited Modi after a campus survey in which students overwhelmingly indicated their preference to hear him. I won't be surprised if they are telling the truth. Survey after survey now puts Modi as the candidate voters most want as India's Prime Minister, ahead of Rahul Gandhi, far in front of anyone else.

There may be more colleges and universities lining up in the near future to have him address their students — the citizens of a “young India”, as he said. And to think that till very recently Modi, the man and the CM, was such a pariah. Everyone stayed away from him, afraid that a little bit of the dirt he carried would soil them too.

When and how exactly did this transformation happen? Modi's ascent, in many ways, has been directly proportional to the BJP's and Congress's descent. In fact, as the country's ruling party and the biggest opposition group battled identical demons — lack of direction, absence of a meaningful development agenda, profusion of tainted leaders, unwillingness and inability to take moral and political stands, and both bereft of a charismatic personality around whom to rally — the Gujarat strongman built for himself the image of a do-er.
A friend of mine in Ahmedabad, Left-leaning and avowedly anti-Modi, can't stop wondering at the 'wave' he has generated. "Nowhere," he says, "not in Bihar with Nitish, in Tamil Nadu with Jaya, in UP with Akhilesh or in Bengal with Mamata, have I seen such frenzied following. And it is spreading. It is unstoppable now. In faraway Uttarakhand, a teacher in the college my nephew studies in asked the class one day who they would support as India's PM and almost 80 per cent of them cheered for Modi. And mind you, the vote is for him, not the BJP."

The BJP itself seems to have understood that. One by one, all its leaders are vouching for Modi. A substantial number within the party thinks their survival depends on him doing well at the national level. Winning elections on the trot has plugged the mouths of the dissenters further.
It was a gathering of young men and women who seemed to have put Godhra behind them, who had been consistently led down by various leaders and their political parties, who had lost faith in what everyone calls the system, and who were ready to gamble with the possibility of having a man such as Modi lead the nation.

X-posted from Indian Economy thread...

Narendra Modi is an idea whose time has come
There may be many reasons not to have a Prime Minister like Modi. Those affronted by his government’s perceived complicity in or passivity during the 2002 riots have made a persuasive case for a decade now. And, yet, today, the critical consideration that ought to weigh with voters is the opportunity cost that India would pay if it persists with dysfunctional non-governance of the sort that Manmohan Singh offered for close to a decade – and which Rahul Gandhi will likely continue. For that would truly crush India’s spirit for eternity, and India deserves better than that.
Amongst the many gems in the article above is the portion highlighted, which I think is key. The opportunity cost of not having someone like Modi in to lead India is gigantic - literally makes the difference between tens of millions being pulled out of poverty vs being stuck for several decades in that rut.

This is the key debate that the country needs to weigh in on - far more so than the airy-fairy economic intricacies that academic types prefer to focus their energies on....

Perhaps the most compelling part (and the most understated part by MSM) of Shri Modi's speech was that Bharat would regain its spot as the jagad-guru of the world in the knowledge driven economy of the 21st century.

The Jagad-Guru concept was given by Shi Swami Vivekananda. Modi is a staunch follower of SV. In the Sachivalay of Gandhi Nagar you would see literally each and every department/office has a photo of SV hanging. He often lectures the bearuocrates about SV's idea of India and the importance of good governance.

People here think that rural people are politically less educated than the urban people and hence it is hard for anyone to change their voting pattern. My personal experience - albeit very limited - has been that rural people are even more involved in politics matters than the Channel V watching youth and 9 to 9 office goers of urban India. They regularly read news papers and are often able to separate news from paid news. They may not understand the economic jargon, bureaucratic procedures and international level politics (hack how many urban understand that?) but they certainly understand the trend and are capable enough to differentiate between an impotent turd and a capable man.

I think they should delay making Modi the PM candidate of BJP. That way people will keep on hankering BJP to make Modi PM candidate. I think the fact that Modi is somewhat of a BJP outsider and his own man also feeds people's positive feelings towards him. Delaying his nomination would make people angry at BJP initially but it would increase Modi's popularity, thus feeding the wave.

There's going to be a lot of international interest in these elections. Here's a sampling from 'American Thinker'. Much better quality than what appears in Indian dork media, by the way: The Left Demonizes India's Modi while his Popularity Soars
Modi's Reaganesque message of optimism resonates with Indians discouraged with the ruling left-center Congress Party that has ruled for all but 12 years of India's existence as a nation. Economic "malaise" has set in, confidence in the future has dropped, and people believe that the government is unable to deal effectively with either leftist or Islamist terror that has claimed the lives of over 10,000 Indian civilians and security personnel since 2004.

Under Modi's ten-year rule, in contrast, Gujarat has become India's state with the most consistently increasing prosperity, most recently showing a 17 percent growth in per capita income that was flat elsewhere. Early in his tenure, Modi took a strong hand in scrapping entitlements and big government programs in favor of a pro-growth, pro-business agenda and helping to eliminate India's notorious corruption in his state. My own, unscientific survey of Delhi taxi drivers, hotel workers, vendors, and others of modest means found that Indians want Modi to do the same in the rest of India. Many recalled how he stunned the country by bringing the automotive giant Tata to Gujarat in 2008 when the communist leaders of West Bengal led it to look elsewhere. Though several states vied for it, Modi put together the right package of incentives, reliable labor, and a lack of government overreach to win the day and help create thousands of jobs in Gujarat. Modi told me that he would intervene personally to create the same favorable conditions for any "joint ventures involving the United States or Israel."

Modi, however, has been a demon to the left whose article of faith is that he was responsible inter-religious riots in 2002 that killed 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus (although Modi's vilifiers rarely mention the latter). At the insistence of groups like the Congress on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the U.S. State Department refused Modi entry to the US on the basis of these accusations. Even though every Indian court, including the Supreme Court, has exonerated Modi , former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently reaffirmed the administration's position.

The good news for Modi, as I advised one Modi supporter, is that the left has raised the issue of 2002 so frequently that it is old news. Voters not swayed already are unlikely to be so during the campaign. It is a striking parallel to the left's mantra that Ariel Sharon was behind the massacres in Lebanon's Sabra and Chatilla camps. It did not stop Sharon from winning his election, and it is not likely to stop Modi.

Americans are probably tired of hearing about "historical elections," but it is no understatement to characterize India's as one. Its economic miracle has stalled, and people have seen their purchasing power fall significantly under the Congress Party's increasing entitlements and handouts. Moreover, while Islamists are likely operating within our borders, there is no question of it in India. Narendra Modi and the people around him who will help shape foreign policy under a Modi government, have made it clear to me and others that they recognize the threat and know that it must be fought unequivocally. Even now, friend and foe alike expect that a Prime Minister Modi would not be shy about flexing India's muscles in response to the "soft and hard tests" that insiders expect from Islamists and Maoists.

Will Modi's popularity, which is at a zenith now, continue once the media and his opponents unleash their fury in the campaign? We will know soon as it has started already. Leftist students staged noisy demonstrations outside Modi's first major policy speech and its pro-growth agenda to youth in Delhi who responded with thunderous applause. Yet, eschewing the substance, many media outlets focused more on the noisy students outside.

As expected, one by one of the PAID PRESSTITUTES are coming out of woodwork in an attempt to poke holes in Modi's grand start.

firstpost.com/politics/modis-challenge-transforming-from-an-advani-to-vajpayee-617151.html
Modi’s challenge: Transforming from an Advani to Vajpayee
Is the Narendra Modi we saw yesterday the Modi India is willing to buy? The answer to this question lies in asking this question: will people believe that LK Advani can become an Atal Behari Vajpayee?

This is the challenge Brand Modi is up against, and for this we can learn lessons from the Advani-Vajpayee era, and how their brand images contributed to being who they were and what they could ultimately achieve.
Narendra Modi is now trying to convert his image from that of a hardcore Advani of the 1990s to that of a more moderate Vajpayee who ruled the country. At least, that is the conclusion that one can draw from the speech he made at the Shriram College of Commerce in Delhi, yesterday.

In the speech he said several things that tried to project an image of a moderate ‘Modi’. Lets sample a few lines.
.
If the above statements are viewed in isolation, Modi does not come across as a hardliner that he is typically made out to be. He comes across as a man who has some vision for India.
Whether that happens remains to be seen. As marketing guru Seth Godin writes in All Marketers are Liars: “Great stories happen fast. They engage the consumer the moment the story clicks into place. First impressions are more powerful than we give them credit for.”

Given this, getting rid of first impressions in the minds of the voter is very difficult unless you are the Congress party, and do not stand for anything. So it remains to be seen whether the people of India will buy the new story that Modi is trying to project at the national level. But then we all have to start somewhere
.
The author is trying to put sow the seeds of doubts or give talking points to DIEnasty lickers on how to put doubts in young minds.

firstpost.com/india/narendra-modis-srcc-speech-why-some-editors-chose-to-skip-it-617552.html
Narendra Modi’s SRCC speech: Why some editors chose to skip it
This morning, barring a few newspapers, it was the lead story on the front page.

There were some notable exceptions. The Hindu :eek: :eek: :eek: , for example, didn’t mention Modi on the front page. If you wondered why, as CNN-IBN editor did, this is what The Hindu’s editor Siddharth Vardarajan (@svaradarajan) said in response on twitter “We refuse to be part of the herd. Every story on our p1 was far more newsworthy than a speech by a CM to a Delhi college.”

But the SCUMBAG had no such compunction on being part of herd when it came to Buddhu Gandhi


Which were the front page stories that The Hindu felt were more important than Modi’s speech? The lead story was Chidambaram’s comment on the army and AFSPA, the second was a story on the Sebi-Sahara imbroglio and the third focused on the violence in a dalit hostel in Patna which was ignored by Patna University officials.

Mid-Day was another paper which ignored Modi. Not just on the front page, but completely. “Publishing a Narendra Modi news item – especially Wednesday’s speech in New Delhi – on Page 1 is based upon two assumptions: one, that Mr Modi will be the Prime Ministerial candidate for the NDA; and two, that he will indeed become PM after the next general election. Both are, well, assumptions,” Sachin Kalbag, editor, Mid-Day, said to Firstpost.

“We did not have Mr Modi on Page 1 because chief ministers make speeches all the time. It is part of their job. I don’t remember taking a Maharashtra CM’s speech ever on our Page 1, even though we are a city newspaper and our state CM’s speech may be considered far more relevant to our readers. For that matter, we rarely take a CM’s speech even on the inside pages. Our news approach to speeches is that unless there is a policy announcement in them that affects lakhs of our readers, or they represent landmark events, we don’t analyse them. This is true for the PM, the state CM, Mr Modi, or anybody else,” Kalbag added
So how did the other newspapers see it? Take a look. The surprise is Times of India, especially the Ahmedabad edition.
Suprise? Not for me? TOIlet is known for PAID MEDIA :rotfl:

firstpost.com/politics/modi-speech-media-obsession-or-arrival-on-national-stage-617185.html
Modi speech: Media obsession or arrival on national stage?
It was not surprising in a country that has forgotten the real art of public oratory, Gujarat Chief minister and Prime Minister hopeful Narendra Modi’s speech at Shri Ram College of Commerce in Delhi became the upcountry national obsession on Wednesday.

Perhaps he played well to the fantasy of a generation that watched too many Obama speeches and wondered why we cannot have such leaders in our midst.
None of them, however, did realise that it was the audience that did the trick. If a politician, that too aiming to lead the country in an aspirational and I-me-myself era :lol: , doesn’t seize the opportunity of addressing the urban youth in a premier institution, he/she is a fool and is unfit to be a politician.

Of course, you need an effective speech-writer who writes uncomplicated and non-cerebral stuff :D with a lot of hyperbole. Those who are used to masters of hype and futurism such as Toffler, Thomas Friedman, Nicholas Negroponte and Malcom Gladwell, it is an easy task. Hyperbole is easy because it feeds on itself. As a quintessential marketeer of Gujarat style capitalism and efficiency for some time now, hyperbole comes naturally to Narendra Modi. Some of his facts are just packaging.
So many shots at even the audience too. He can't stand the young who appreciated it.

OK. This PAID PRESSTITUTE never raised the issue of speech writer when the Buddhu read from a written speech. Suddenly, the SCUMBAG realizes it is all speech writer's credit.
But in the south, including the only existing pocket of the party, namely Karnataka, it hardly made any ripples – neither in English nor the language press.

In the south, The Hindu completely ignored the speech, giving prominence to the protest against him at SRCC instead. It was among the second lead stories – average three column story with the two columns of the page sold out to advertisers – in the Times of India’s Chennai edition. Similar treatment was given to it in other papers as well.

In regional language papers, it was his meeting with the Prime Minister that found some space, not the SRCC speech. Tamil and Malayalam TV channels had other things to discuss on their prime time shows while the print media almost entirely ignored it.
So the PAID PRESSTITUTES quote each other, refer to each other to show how media is not bothered about Modi.
Incidentally, it was the south that contributed the country’s first growth and corporate friendly politician who sought to strike a chord with the youth and urban electorate – Andhra’s Chandrababu Naidu. He was celebrated by every media house with a lot of gusto and unprecedented hype.

In fact he was the original Modi who attracted global leaders to his city and appeared in more video conferences (techno-logistically, it was the equivalent of Modi’s 3D projection those days) than public stages. He was so busy in his speech-making and road-trips that he had appeared busier than Obama. And those days, Hyderabad was the place to visit – for efficiency, transparency, investment and infrastructure.

Where is he today? People gather in record numbers to listen to a downmarket YSR family than Naidu. Their staple is the very old political portfolio that gets resonance in the country’s rural areas – poverty and subsistence essentials. If YSR junior gets out of jail and leads a padayatra today, he will attract unprecedented crowds although in the eyes of the law, he is an alleged crook.

Similarly, in Tamil Nadu, the wave against Karunanidhi in the last assembly election was so eclipsed by the urban hype that spoke of industries, new age technologies, FDIs, gleaming infrastructure and luxury hotels that the final results really shocked the DMK camp and its followers. Nobody had expected such a rout.

India’s electoral heart is in rural areas. Urban India is good for photo and feel-good ops. Perhaps the only utility of this constituency is to generate hype and marginally influence policy because it creates some inconvenience to the politicians.
So the scumbag and PAID PRESSTITUTE thinks, looters and crooks are nation savers because they can CON people and get elected. So lets ignore development. Isn't this what Modi called "Votebank politics"?
If the governments are smart to engage them and delay decisions, they can easily defeat whatever little influence they have.
Look at this carefully. This is what Shinde, the anti-national said a while ago. Give enough time. They all forget. The SCUM is repeating what the CON WOMAN and MAFIA has been doing. Just ignore it and keep spreading lies using PRESSTITUTES in PAID MEDIA. It will be all fine. I am hoping the young India will rise and crush their hopes.

firstpost.com/politics/five-point-someone-leader-narendra-modi-does-a-chetan-bhagat-617262.html
Five point someone leader: Modi does a Chetan Bhagat
by Lakshmi Chaudhry (well known PAID MEDIA lady who can't stand Modi)
“Modi struck a chord with the youngsters — some of who are expected to land jobs with astronomical pay in the country and abroad — by riding a wave of college-canteen one-liners, management evangelism usually found in self-help books, national pride and a blackout of unpleasant home truths,” notes a caustic Radhika Ramaseshan in The Telegraph, getting it almost right.

Modi spouted biz school gyaan, yes, but of a more fictional kind, the kind popularised by youngistan’s other great hero: Chetan Bhagat. The language, themes, and cadence of the speech could have been ripped straight from the pages of a CB novel.
You know when they start an article with an attack on the audience, they know they are losing it.
One of the key secrets of Bhagat’s success is the constant pandering to his young audience’s ego. The message over and again is that India will be ‘saved’ by its fabulously intelligent, creative and progressive youth, rescued from the clutches of older generations who have long outlived their use-by date. Modi was no less eager to curry favour with his “friends,” aka India’s number one asset.
Never mind that the man who led the liberalisation drive was a greybeard like Manmohan Singh. And the corporate giants like Nandan Nilekani and Narayana Murthy who put Indian IT on the global map are now in their golden years. Besides, anyone charming mouses in the era of the tablet is an unlikely symbol of the future. But, hey, the ecstatic audience didn’t care.
:rotfl: :rotfl: ha ha ha... Do you see how they can't stand that people don't care about this crook MMS and other chamchas?
Keep it simple

Critics slam his novels as simple and simplistic, while the hordes of CB-lovers adore him for precisely the same reason. College hostel lingo peppered with biz school acronyms and ‘just do it’ style pop-wisdom has propelled Bhagat to the top of the bestsellers charts. And on Wednesday, Narendra Modi did his best to follow Bhagat’s lead.
The made-up mantras: “If we have to compete with China in the 21st century, we need three ‘S’s: skill, scale and speed.”

And it worked. “A no-frills, no-fuss speech, no tedha-medha (crooked) or jalebi-like confusing statements. Spoken straight from the head and the heart,” gushed a first-year SRCC student. Modi earned himself exactly the kind of ringing endorsement typically reserved for a Chetan Bhagat novel by his legion of fans.
Remember this! This attacks on his style,speech, substance and audience will be repeated by every CON PRESSTITUTE in every avaialble forum hoping to stop Modi's surge.
But mastering the language of youngistan may not be enough to win all their hearts. As another young man told The Telegraph, “I loved Modi’s punchlines, especially the one on minimum government and maximum governance. But his potential as a national leader has still to be tested.”


In despair, the PAID MAFIA finds hope on anonymous source who said "he still has to be tested". Well! They have to believe in their own BS until the MAFIA empire crumbles.

Youth who think Gujarat is all Modi should go back to books
Modi might have been hailed as the next national leader in the halls of Sri Ram College of Commerce in Delhi, where he delivered a speech yesterday, but does anyone other than Modi buy that?

Not really, said senior journalist and columnist Aakar Patel. Speaking to Rajdeep Sardesai on a late night discussion on CNN-IBN, he said, “This kind of nonsense (that everything positive in Gujarat is credited to Modi) is not believable. If they (the youth of the country) believe that, then they should go back to their books.” He also stated that before claiming to feed people in Singapore, he should feel all the people in Gujarat first.


Where will we be without Bekaar Patel weighing in about Modi. Regardless of how many eggs end up on his face, this PAID SCUM keeps up to his assigned task of Modi bashing 24x7.

The speach was tailor made for SRCC and young crowd. Though I think it had too much of Gujarat in it (even if it was to make a point that it has been done there, it can also be done here.
I guess in Cowbelt and to not so english educated youth, this style has to change. Less how great Gujarat is (which it is), but how great say a Bundeli is (in Bundelkhand) or a Avadhi is (when in Avadh) or a Bihari is (and yes all of them are great!!).

Thanks for putting words to your feelings. That is how I too felt. Come 2014 (or next election) - I will ensure that I travel to my hometown (12 hours overnight journey from Gurgaon) to cast my vote. I am sick and tired of India being stabbed and plotted against by the jaichands and 'secular' brigade. Will do my part at least - how so ever insignificant it may be.

^^ Every young man should inspire 10 people they know and work hard to get them know more about Modi, his vision and his delivery model and ask them to vote for Modi in the next election.

‘Modi for PM’ is the chant at VHP meet during Kumbh Mela
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Thursday chose to declare at a gathering of 2 lakh priests at the Kumbh mela that it supported Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the BJP’s candidate for Prime Minister in 2014, putting the party and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in a spot.
Several saints at VHP’s Dharma Sansad raised slogans for Modi as prime minister.
Will this translate into any thing positive in UP, Bihar?
While RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat also lauded Modi, he steered clear of openly naming him as a prime ministerial candidate they would back.

“A true Hindu will always speak for everyone’s interest,” he said, adding,”Everyone is saying the same thing about who must be prime minister.”
I am sure this statement will be buried and never become a headline in PAID MEDIA


VHP chief Ashok Singhal openly pitched for Modi, but a known baiter of the Chief Minister, Praveen Togadia, refused to even take his name in his press interactions. While Singhal compared Modi to Nehru, Togadia said he will not talk about one person or one party, reported IBN-Live.
The IBN-Live report says that though a product of the sangh, Modi and the VHP haven’t had the best of relations in the recent past. The Gujarat Chief Minister hasn’t done anything for the organisation in his state and Singhal’s statement is being seen as an attempt to build bridges with the the rising star of the BJP

The Hindu is a leftist pamphlet, Mid-day IIRC is Muslim-owned (Rahul Bose's BIL) and telegraph is INC pamphlet. The article gives the impression of heartburn rather than a critique of what Modi said. The topic of the talk was business and development. However, the argument of the rural voter is valid. Otherwise, you will have "India Shining" campaign disaster. Naidu and AP were derailed by the angst of the rural voter. Modi should not assume that he will win just by getting across to the urban middle class who are reluctant to vote.

He has to lay out his vision of Infrastructure, Irrigation, Manufacturing and address few Kisan sbahas and even some tribal/SC/ST congregations on how Guajarat model for development for tribal areas.

^ One key difference between Modi and Naidu is that, where as Modi concentrated on all aspects including farming, Naidu left the farmers to dogs. He was all about IT and Hyderabad. That helped Hyderabad a lot and put it on world map, but farmers were orphaned without even one substantial irrigation project coming up in his era (May be he didn't realize that he could make money of irrigation projects). So, I don't blame rural voters for not voting Naidu.

Somewhere Chanakya says
"There are three kinds of kingdoms, those solely dependent
on the King, those dependent on him and on his ministers,
and those solely dependent on his ministers."
I think modern India has each of these kinds right now. And GOI is the king is outside the cabinet.

Manufacturing, farm and services sectors tanking, says CSO
The news on the national economy continues to get from bad to worse for the Congress-led UPA Government. If there were any hopes of recovery and shoring up India’s tanking economy, those have been put to rest by the Central Statistical Organisation.

According to the CSO’s findings, India’s economic growth rate is likely to slip to a decade’s low of five per cent in 2012-13, pulled down by poor performance of manufacturing, agriculture and services sectors. This estimate is way lower than estimates of India’s central bank and rating agencies.

The policy paralysis that afflicts the UPA regime headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has begun to take its toll on key sectors of the economy.

Releasing the first official estimate of growth for the current financial year, the CSO said growth would decline from 6.2 per cent in 2011-12 to five per cent, much lower than the projections of the Reserve Bank of India and other agencies.

Bravo CONs! You managed to screw all the sectors at the same time. :)

The big question is if the aam aadmi/aurat will realize at least now that there are dark days ahead if he/she does not vote out the current government. Personally I hold out little hope. I am tired of being disappointed.
