Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India

Has Ananthkumar dumped L K Advani?

Sources in the party explained: “It is a desperate situation for Ananthkumar as political circles are rife with speculations on Yeddyurappa’s return to the BJP at Modi’s behest in the run-up to the Parliamentary polls. It has to be remembered that it was Yeddyurappa who had pledged his support to Modi’s candidature for Prime Ministership at BJP national executive meeting some time back. If Ananthkumar does not make some smart moves and speak high about Modi now, his political manoeuvres will become difficult.”

Madhya Pradesh: From 'bimaru' to power surplus state

With approaching assembly elections scheduled for the end of the year, chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced an ambitious 24X7 power supply to domestic consumers throughout the state. Till date 15 out of 50 districts have come under the state government's Atal Jyoti Abhiyan which promises round-the-clock power supply for non-agricultural usage and eight hours of quality supply of electricity per day for the farming sector. By end of May, the state plans to have all districts under the 24 hour power supply scheme

Edited the remark and I rest my case.

I submit, the very same approach is taken outside the forum by lay population of India against some of the "strong language" being advocated.

I for the record found nothing wrong in what NaMo said, and for the record I know a number of people who were upset (including on BRF including moderators) when strong language was used against Man mohan, especially during the time he was basking in the 123 glory. Now no one blinks an eye when same language is used.

I wish Modi luck in his battle against the asura's, however to the forumites, if speaking straight and fair was the right thing to do in the country, we would not be here in the first place. RJB Mandir would have been built in 47 and it would still be Satya Yuga.

So the amount of "hard language" used or not used in politics is NOT because of the silly CTs often prescribed, but hard nosed reality.

Of the so called Delhi gang, at least two are Delhi politicians and therefore it is natural for them to do dharna in dilli.

One of them has more Lok sabha and political experience than some entire parties.

Apologies if posted already

CATCH ME IF…
Blame the opposition BJP too for the brazen venality of the UPA government.
By N.V. Subramanian (26 April 2013)

New Delhi: The United Progressive Alliance government is the most in-your-face that the country has seen in a long while. Brazenness is its calling card. It is defiant about influencing the Central Bureau of Investigation in the coal scam. It has vastly tilted a Joint Parliamentary Committee report to save Manmohan Singh and P.Chidambaram in the 2G scandal and dares you to protest. Robert Vadra has been given a clean chit by the Haryana government which is openly gunning for a rare whistleblower Indian Administrative Service officer. The Comptroller and Auditor General can expose the Central government and the Delhi administration of Shiela Dixit time after time but nothing happens.

Why do we have a dispensation that does not care for public opinion, despite credible surveys, some conducted by the ruling party itself, that the Congress tally in the coming general election, whether held now or in 2014, would tumble as low as 70? Don’t Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi care for the bad name they are bringing themselves?

No.

But the issue needs address at a deeper level as well.

The 2009 victory of the United Progressive Alliance, by a larger margin, moreover, made the ruling party and government consider themselves invincible and removed accountability from their vocabulary. The message percolated down that a mandate for looting had been accorded. {We have such thoughts within our forum too - It was called "
popular mandate"}Old Congressmen who had cut deals and helped themselves to public funds in their time were nevertheless shocked by the brazenness of the present plunder. As long as ministers and bureaucrats gave a sizeable cut to the leadership, no questions were asked, and all the protection bestowed. The media, so the Radia tapes show and tell, were also corrupted, and as pointed earlier, liberals corrupt easily. For her skullduggery, for example, one liberal news television star has been presented with an apartment in New York that will be transferred to her name in due course. With corruption and loot having been so systematized, everyone had a stake in letting it continue. Dissenters were bought. Fixing was all.

In this cynical and devious process, the opposition (lead by the Bharatiya Janata Party) also played a role. It is perhaps farfetched to say that the BJP threw the 2009 election, but some of its senior leaders in Delhi certainly have partaken of the UPA loot. Knowledgeable people say the opposition share is one-third.{D4 has to answer this question.} That would partly explain why the United Progressive Alliance is no longer afraid of the Bharatiya Janata Party. The central BJP does not have the heart to take on the government. It is in this scenario of gloom and doom for the people that Anna Hazare made such an impact. The forces he unleashed are bound to benefit Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi assembly election. Kejriwal will become the third force in the Capital which neither the Congress nor the BJP can ignore.

Nationally, however, the one man who is upsetting the Congress and the BJP’s calculations and unmasking their cozy relationship, in a fashion, is Narendra Modi. Both the Congress and BJP’s central leaderships hate him equally. It would not be surprising if they have a tacit understanding in the anti-Modi campaign. Nitish Kumar is part of this group from the National Democratic Alliance side. The trouble, though, is that the electorate has had enough of the Congress and central BJP leaders. Lal Krishna Advani and Sushma Swaraj count for nothing with the public. They may not win their Lok Sabha seats again without the support of one or other BJP chief minister. Narendra Modi has become the face of the Bharatiya Janata Party, and if Advani & Co. succeed in their shenanigans to keep the Gujarat chief minister down, the BJP and Sangha cadres will revolt. It is either Narendra Modi or nothing for the Bharatiya Janata Party.

But till he comes, there will be more of the same from the United Progress Alliance government. There will be brazen disregard for public opinion. The electorate would be treated with contempt. And the loot will continue till the last day of Manmohan Singh’s term of office.{And South T.N is happy with this because they are included and secularized in the corruption of Congress-system} Only Narendra Modi has the capacity to stem the rot, and he faces implacable all-round opposition for that reason.

^ my guess.

Putting finance bill at stake means BJP is going for no-confidence motion. That would make INC to pull all strings and get UPA simple majority. That means there cannot be another no-confidence motion for 6 months, which gives UPA much needed dictatorial space to push its election agenda.

Now the UPA members are seeking rent on a regular basis and INC cannot focus. A failed NCM would give INC what it wants desperately.

BJP should go for NCM if and only if it is confident of bringing the govt down.

And Sushma Swaraj alluded to this in her speech when she said we will give them NCM at appropriate time.

Asked why the BJP was not bringing a no-confidence motion as suggested by a senior minister, she said, "We will talk about it... if that is what he wants."

people keep falling for paid media twisting NaMo views on ST. There are youtube videos of his speech said during Himachal elections.
he said in a different context without being demeaning to anyone.
Another issue is -- everyone seems to forget that ST himsef deleted his tweets regarding this episode.If anyone following his tweets know he is careful and does not delete them. Can only guess that ST saw the context and mischief of the paid media or had more brickbats for unnecessarily creating trouble to himself. actually made him more sharper with congi political skills-- learnig curve.

Good thing about NaMo is -- all his speeches are on videos- youtube or any other format available to anyone to see it.

Hence SM is totally with him due to his transparency among many other things-- unlike congis and paid media.

Good that now she is talking about fascist nature of Sonia. But i think its too late to make her credible again.

Sushma trains gun on Sonia

A big reason why Narendra Modi endeared himself to cadres was because he never minced words on the Gandhis.

Today, Sushma alleged that Sonia was principally responsible for “creating a situation of total breakdown”.

“We want Parliament to run because there are issues galore to take up…. But the government’s approach has forced us to do this. If the Opposition leader is not allowed to speak for even five minutes, how can we co-operate with this government? It’s too much,” she said.

Asked if she felt personally let down by Sonia, Sushma replied, “Yes, I do indeed.”

BJP sources claimed Sushma was “pushed” into adopting a “maximalist” position because she had an election to fight and win in 2014 and could no longer “afford” to be seen as “Sonia-friendly”.

A source said: “More vitally, Sushma has to compete with Modi in targeting the Gandhis.”

This is my first sight of this and I have to say it is not well thought through at all.
Where is the full list? The constitution does not care one way or the other about any of this.

All it cares about are rights and obligations. You can do what ever the hell you please within those parameters.
The only time the state can step in is if a law is violated.

People are judged by what they have done and what the evidence shows.
Not by what they think or what they say or how they live.

Not true entirely either. If people were really judged by what they have done and what the "evidence" shows - then the christian mission history in many places including Goa should have cancelled out educational and welfare activities, and Islamic rioting and intolerant violence on marital/foreign issues should have been in consideration. Neither of which has taken place while thousands of years claimed history of repression by the "Hindu" is still being used to justify ongoing appeasement policies or whitewashing of foreign factors.

So you can see that the wide gaps between laws that allows for "non-intervention" is really a space for the state power to selectively intervene - on completely opposite and contradictory lines - for the same issue - but based on community and religion or sub-identity.

The gaps in the Constitution were needed to get more discretionary power into a ruling coterie to do this selective patronization of ideology and foreign institutions serving foreign neo-imperialist interests.

I see political subtleties in the future long before they happen. The unease I feel with this current approach - stems from an awareness of historical as well as current processes, that coopt and coerce "outsiders" to the system - who might rcok the boat - in ways that ultimately perpetuates the system.

It is important not reduce the demanding voice that also wants RJB, for the sake of appeasing those who claim that such toning downs alone will make NM "acceptable".

Bji this is directed at besides you, the others too.

RajeshA ji had once said that the day they become 20% we should be 80%.

So yes the RJB cannot be allowed to fall through the gaps. We will need it in future. RJB is the link between our Itihaas of Raja Ram that contextifies the constitution and the roll out of priorities in the mass politics. It could get called in action as early as next 15 years for several different reasons. But then RJB is a strategic move, using it in generic tactical reverses, would very likely enable the opponent to figure out counters to it and pull RJB down to its level.

There are other important considerations also. Like for example:

1) Do we really have the sort of team that can do justice to RJB? If we do not then what justification remains to hold ourselves back from another part of our own existence?

2) What does it mean to do justice to RJB?

3) Would we be leaving another flank open if we focus too much on RJB? (RJB is a brahmastra, not everybody with a brahmastra wins)

4) What if RJB can actually be used to build a common plank for not just the 80% but for the whole 100%? The present hostility to RJB is fueled in part by the economiic+military+intel, ascendancy of malechas. Would the hostility be still there if it were not so? After all it is not exactly written in stone that India cannot do any better. Also the dependency of the Abrahamics may itself shift from outside India to inside India.

5) Indians have successfully created Itihaas to mould the society properly on earlier occassions. What if this is another such opportunity?

6) What if the biggest advantage of RJB to Hindus is to enable Hindus to adapt once more to the changed circumstances by inculcating a political response within the overall package. In much the same manner that Buddhists changed Hindus from Vedic to Panthic. This sounds splittist but is it? I am proposing it as an adaptive measure. Basically a formalization of the same process that allowed Sikhs to be born in the presence of exceptional circumstances.

Probably you did not notice but the answer is already fixed and there is no way a politician can say anything else. Which was noticed by the laggard brains in Sangh and hence they formed several organizations to deal with different aspects of it all. Basically the answer would be 'Whatever is constitutionally allowed should be followed'. But then people live a life according to their understanding not according to the constitution.

That is why I keep saying that RJB should be taken a step above the constitutional set up. IOWs directly to the people. The constitutionally mandated authorities cannot change the basic structure of the constitution but the source from which constitution draws its authority can always override the constitution. Constitution can protest

and it should be taken into account but then logon ko jeena bhi to hai bhai.

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/us-panel-seeks-continued-visa-ban-on-narendra-modi/1110091/

A Congress-established independent panel on religious freedom has called on the US to maintain a visa ban on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, saying there was significant evidence linking him to the violence in the state in 2002.
"There is significant evidence linking him to the violence and the terrible events that took place in Gujarat and for this reason, a visa would not be appropriate," Katrina Lantos Swett, chairwoman of the US Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) told reporters today during a press conference held

In its annual report, the USCIRF notes that Modi is the only individual against whom the US has so far used its visa ban (gora christist snakes and their internal colloborators are the greatest threat to India)provision related to religious freedom in March 2005 due to his alleged complicity in the 2002 riots that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1,100 to 2,000 Muslims.

"USCIRF continues to urge the Departments of State and Homeland Security to develop a lookout list of aliens who are inadmissible to the US on this basis," the report said, adding that in November 2012, it had written a letter to the then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to continue the US policy against Modi apprehending that the Gujarat Chief Minister might apply for a visa.

Directly related to identifying and barring from entry such severe religious freedom violators, IRFA (International Religious Freedom Act of 1998) also requires the President to determine the specific officials responsible for violations of religious freedom engaged in or tolerated by governments of CPCs, and, when applicable and to the extent practicable, publish the identities of these officials in the Federal Register," the report said.

"Despite these requirements, no individual officials from any CPC (Country of Particular Concern) countries responsible for particularly severe religious freedom violations have been identified to date," the report noted.

On the 2002 Gujarat riots, the report said, in the last two years approximately 100 people have been convicted of various crimes, with punishments ranging from minor monetary fines to life imprisonment, and more than 100 individuals have been acquitted because of lack of evidence, witnesses refusing to testify or the death of witnesses.

Additionally, "Gujarati police have closed a large number of cases, citing the unavailability of witnesses. Notably in the last year, Mayaben Kodnani, the former Minister for Women and Child Welfare, was sentenced to 28 years in jail for herinvolvement in the Gujarat violence," it said.

Observing that there has been no large-scale communal violence against religious minorities in India since 2008, and in recent years the Indian government has created special investigative and judicial structures in an effort to address previous such attacks, USCIRS, however said that in the past year, progress in achieving justice through these structures for the victims of past incidents continued to be slow and ineffective.

Notably, Lantos Swett's father, Congressman Tom Lantos, opposed ending nuclear sanctions on India alleging we were a "proliferation risk" because we were "too close to Iran" (this was after the AQ Khan fuges had been discovered in Iran, mind you.)

These "religious freedom" panels and commissions in the US are ironically dominated by Christian fundamentalists who claim "Our God is true, your God is false."

^^^ This is the typical disease among Hindus of abusing their own leaders while licking the anti-Hindu boot that kicks them. This behavior arises from inferiority complex. Nehru suffered from the same disease -- abusing RSS and Savarkar while grovelling before Muslim leaders and Goras. This kind of attitude will disappear with wealth and pride in one's own roots. UP Hindus are the worst in this -- they would rather have a Muslim dictator rule them than a Hindu Modi or Ramdev. Inability to rally behind own leaders due to an attitude problem -- this is a serious weakness of Hindus and they really damage themselves with this.

Their main point is that instead of subsidizing big players (by giving cheap coal blocks, for example), the resources should be used for welfare of the Aam Aadmi. That is a valid point.

Recently heard AK saying that they would regulate fees charged by private schools, which I don't agree with. The plan is upgrade govt schools is good.

Also controlling corruption is a major economic initiative since at present most of the govt resources are siphoned off.
