I don't think the BJP government will treat them any differently... Only thing that will change is that they will not receive preferential or deferential treatment, and they won't get any interviews unless they become less partisan and subjective... This is true in any democracy, and in any administration.

The Modi government will not be vindictive, vengeful or vicious towards those who have been all that towards the BJP in general and the prime minister to be in particular. That is how the next administration will set its imprint, by positive example. Be sure of it.

I see all BJP leaders on ghinona channels like CNNIBN in spite of party's decision otherwise
Modi's interview to ToI when Times House has been most virulent Modi baiters

maybe the idea is to first deprive the dynasty of its visibility and support structure in MSM.

feed the smaller fish and gain target vectors against the bigger ones. the small ones can be controlled/reprogrammed/nabbed later.

Namo does not seem like a naive human.

Vajpayee govt was the same but they did not have the numbers and it was the first time. With numbers on the BJP side, and some lessons learnt over the last 15 years, things should work out better. .

Nope, Vajpayee biggest mistake was to trust the establishment (Babus, secret agencies, media, even political appointees like BM....) that is beholden to congress. Wasn't there article that eyerack oil for food deal done during congress time to benefit Familia continued even during NDA regime (they did not have clue), or how a secular babu of central IAS training institute would have courses which IAS wallas get training, that was openly hostile to BJP, right under their noses in Dlehi, Or the secret info wallahs....well you get the drift.
Modi needs his own team. And I hope he does not impose his personal Dharma on the Dharma of the PM. He may be inclined to forgive a guy (like say Prannoy Roy for cheating 5000 carore along with Chidambram), but as a PM he is duty bound to punish him and he must.

Vajpayee never felt the need to suspect the people in your list because he himself was one of them.

Talking of IAS one of the first things that need course correction is the selection policy for higher administrative services. In the 10 years of UPA trash, all sorts of maoists, marxist leninists and other assorted sikulars and pseudo sikulars (think YY) have been permitted entry. Engineers and other professionals are deliberately denied entry by making their elective papers tougher and also by means of stricter markings. The playing field just needs to be leveled. The new govt doesn't owe JNU madrassa any damn thing.

Between Attitude and Aptitude, choose always the Attitude. If a person attitude is bad (as in willing to compromise, look at MMS), no amount of aptitude will help. Anyone who has worked under Con or benefited from it, his attitude is questionable. To start with he should import babus from Gujarat, MP and other places, people who are Bhartiya first and rest later. As Modi himself joked, sarkar chalani hai car nahi ( a driver has it tough), you do not need to solve complex differential equation, you just need the moral compass to guide yourself and others to the right direction. He should pick no one from the current UPA!! unless he is making a red team.

I hope SC bares all the information about the snooping case out for all to see. One person's personal information isn't reason enough when it comes to a question about misuse of state machinery. Nobody will care about the woman herself in a couple of days if the SC finds that the gujarat govt did nothing wrong with their snooping. The sickulars will turn to something else to try and beat modi with. With election results coming out, this might be the best time to get this nonsense done and dusted. I don't suppose we want a govt that hides simple things like for the sake of 'honour of a woman'. Far more serious issues are at hand here.

modi himself has explicitly and repeatedly said that his primary focus would be on getting the economy back on track and clear the huge backlog of decisions not taken due to 'policy paralysis'. reg past scams, his answer has been law will take its course.

so we won't be seeing the TN kind of plays where karunanidhi jailed JJ and JJ jailed him back when she was CM. We will see cases already in progress being pursued and new cases being slapped where evidence is attained and usable in courts.

i don't think and i sure hope that modi won't be spending his energies on this. need him to focus on economy, getting bureaucracy in line and setting platform to carry out his agenda etc.

someone like subbu swamy is best for getting the dirt on scams and slapping cases etc.

Was watching video of him just after he got off helo. What looked like 2-3 local nobodies broke thru guard cordon with ease and placed garlands/touched his feet leaving guards looking befuddled. Modi looked genuinely surprised and p!ssed as this seemed like a major breach. The bad guys are looking for things like this--brief security lapses in unexpected places. Hope he brought this up with the right people.

even if high command barks, the sensory perception is that these commands are already going below the ground level.

only for documentation purposes to nail the CnC later on. keep them on the loop, and nail them at every oppty.

so they started with burning files..
now their CnC is going below radar...

Interesting perspective

When Modi attacked Sonia or ridiculed Rahul, they could not defend themselves because no one had sympathy for these two.

So SONIA pulled the VODKA girl, put on a saree and left in Amethi to attack Modi.

Every Modi criticism has been distorted as attack on my family, my daddy, my kids etc.

The nautanki has been covered by SCUMS of PAIDMEDIA again and again as Modi vs. Priyanaka.

Even a LIE was made up about his interview on DD that he said this Vodka girl is like his daughter. Ms. VODKA did not even leave that unofficial remark.

Now Modi goes to Amethi, attacks Sonia, Rahul, Rajiv and Priyanaka for being condescending to lower castes like Sitaran Kesri.

So PAPPNI comes back, cries about martyr daddy and calls neechi politics.

Modi hits back, twists the statement the way CONGIS and Ahole media is doing and calls that she is insulting him because he is backward caste politician. :rotfl:

Look at how quickly Modi's team learned what PAPPINI and CON PAIDMEDIA is doing. Twist any statement of Modi as attack on her family.

Now... any statement of PAPPINI is twisted as arrogance ITALIAN MAFIA against lower CASTES.

The strategy is so powerful that Daliat MAFIA Queen Maya came out to defend PAPPINI.

Awesome going for Team Modi.

This is like Chanakya neeti

Whats happened to Rudy Pratap Singh? No longer see him on TV.

BTW: 24 hours elapsed since Modi threw an open challenge to the Dynasts, INC about development issues in Amethi: Bijlee, Roads, Water, treatment of AP CM, PVNR. Not a single MSM channel on those issues. Not one. Instead discussing a rhetorical issue that will create only noise. The level that Sagarika, Barkhas, Rajdeeps, Karan Ts, Arnabs have taken MSM is so abysmal, i doubt their credibility will be restored any time soon. And they consider themselves India's 'best' journo's?

Modi was right in todays interview. They just allege, not criticize. In a democracy criticism including mine is most welcome, i either learn or correct myself. But nowadays they just make allegations (what we refer to scoot and shoot journalism).

Biggest Threat to India. Terrorists and their sponsors in CON,SP,BSP,JD(U),RJD,Kerala parties...

Terrorists and their political 'godfathers'
Yasin Bhatkal’s deputy Tehsin Akhtar is the nephew of Janata Dal-United leader Taki Akhtar.

The relationship between terror operatives and politicians is a murky one. Rediff.com’s Vicky Nanjappa explores

Is India’s war on terrorism thwarted by politicians and the dirty politics of communalism?

According to Intelligence Bureau sources, terrorists often get away due to their alleged links with political circles.

The IB has often suspected that in West Bengal a political party has doled out support to the Bangaldesh-based radical outfit Jamaat-e-Islami and Chattra Shibir. In Kerala, political parties allegedly go easy on members of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India, whereas in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, the India Mujahideen and in Hyderabad the Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami find support, an intelligence officer told rediff.com.

In an attempt to pressure investigators, arrested terrorists often throw big political names at them. Indian Mujahideen operatives Faizan Ahmed Sultan alias Faizan Azmi, Yasin Bhatkal, Tehsin Akhtar have all tried this trick after their arrests, but in vain, an investigating officer pointed out.
IM founder Bhatkal and his deputy Tehsin attempted to use their alleged connection with Taki Akthar, a Janata Dal-United leader from Samastipur, Bihar. Taki is reportedly the uncle of Tehsin, who masterminded the Patna blasts serial blasts which occurred in and around the Gandhi Maidan where Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi addressed a rally last October. Taki Akthar has, however, denied all connection to Tehsin.

Faizan Ahmed Sultan, who was recently deported from Sharjah, told National Investigation Agency officials during his interrogation and even at the time of his arrest that he had worked in a travel agency with with Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi in 1985

T Nasir, a suspected Lashkar-e-Tayiba terrorist and an accused in the 2008 Bangalore blast, would often meet up with Abdul Naser Madani, a politician from Kerala, also an accused in the case, the chargesheet filed in the case said. After orchestrating the blasts, Nasir went into hiding at Madani's office. Nasir also confessed that he knew the Muslim leader quite well, according to an investigating officer. Madani was arrested in 2010 in the blasts case and is currently under detention.

IM operative Syed Maqbool, who allegedly recced the Dilsuknagar area in Hyderabad before the blasts in February last year, had once been granted amnesty by the Y S Rajasekhara Reddy government of Andhra Pradesh in a criminal case, on the plea of Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen leaders including Asaduddin Owaisi.

An IB official told rediff.com, "The link could be direct or indirect, but terrorists often use political connections. There is solid intelligence to suggest that they meet some of these politicians. However, these meetings are not always to discuss terror.”
When terrorists are questioned they tend to drop big names. But we have to be careful in such cases, as these operatives are not always telling the truth,” a Delhi police officer said.
