RajeshA, I created a #Vacate10Janpath trend.

Please make it go up.

Pointless and counterproductive. There are 100s of cases which, if prosecuted efficiently, will land La Famiglia and Daamaad in jail. Let the govt take care of that. Putting in peanut gallery trends about 10 Janpath only makes us appear petty while generating unnecessary sympathy (and "victimhood" ammunition) for these criminals among the fence sitters.

Ramana garu, remember that Twitter is not BRF. Memes, audience, other players, everything is different.The mobilization techniques that have worked well in this setting will often fail, and could even backfire if we try to implement the same way there.

I have not heard of any one with out tears today, after seeing his namaskar on parliament steps and his speech later.
See the pic below and let us pledge to make this girl succesful like NaMo and hopefully NaMo will make people responsible for this situation pay.

jayalalitha regime in early 90s, her first one, was the most horrible one term rule by an CM of any indian state. countless state power backed outright criminal daylight robbery acts like threatening home owners in plum areas (amirtanjan house etc) to sell, throwing acid on serving IAS officer (chandralekha), the kumbakonam stampede that killed hundreds etc..are just the beginning, the atrocities can run into thousands of incidents.

on a wave of anti-jj, dmk stormed into power with landslide win.

dmk made a great spectacle of arresting jj immediately, throwing her in jail, slapping a few cases and made good tv by showing jj's thousand saree collection and thousand slipper collections etc.

5 years from then, the hastily put cases did not go anywhere due to lack of focus and dmk botched on delivering on their promises and admk came back to power.

now she made sure the cases drag forever. and no new cases can be filed for her atrocities back then, because of lack of witnesses and viability of cases etc.

It is important to get watertight cases and let the cases come into limelight on their own strength and let people themselves clamor for action (getting them into jail, vacating 10 janpath etc).

If Modi Does Good, it Should be Appreciated: Innocent
http://www.newindianexpress.com/electio ... 235222.ece

"I am of the opinion that if prime minister-designate Narendra Modi does good, it should be appreciated. May be as a party, there might be difference of opinion, but for me if a person does a good job it deserves praise," Innocent said.

"The problem is if Modi does good and we oppose it, people will go with him," added Innocent, whose poll victory has left many baffled.

Independent candidate Innocent, 69, is the centre of attraction after his giant killing feat in the Lok Sabha election with his victory over Congressman P.C. Chacko in Chalakudy constituency.

I would definitely feel sad if India goes TN way in terms of party vs party fighting rather they fight for TN development. Like I said earlier, the kind of workforce TN has, it can beat the hell outta any state in terms of industrial production [that is shown in some form is not JJ's work, but its people's work].

And that is what makes Modi's speach bring out! exactly showing that is where we can focus to develop the nation.

let them keep oppossing modi and get left out.. in fact that is how, Modi became PM.. he gains strength, when someone abuse him for doing good.

So "growth and development via Japanese capital" is all that NaMo could come up with. He doesnt seem to have ANY method by which we Indians can grow WITHOUT external help.

VikramS · Post by **VikramS** » 21 May 2014 08:44

Folks:

I think this needs a new thread

We need a place to discuss the challenges Modi faces and what the potential game plan of the opponents is going to be.

Some Background:
From empirical observations on twitter, the Indian Muslim is in a state of shock and vulnerable to exploitation. There is a palpable sense of fear and uncertainty.

That the Congress would continue its game of keeping minorities in fear was expected. SMS and other stuff was used to create a psychosis, capped by Rahul Gandhi's statement about 22000 Muslims being killed under Modi regime.

I am not sure where I read it but it seems the Owaisis are up to some middle of night mischief. The Sikh Nishan Sahib desecration on May 16th was perhaps a prelude.

Mamta saying that she will boycott the PM's swearing in is another indication of how the Muslim sentiment is being exploited.

On Twitter I have had a few exchanges with people who say that the election results (both TsuNamo, and the number of Muslim MPs) mean that Muslims can not get proper representation in the current democratic structure; demands for proportional representation is being made.

I feel that the fear will subside with time, but suspect that all kind of attempts will be made to make Muslims feel more vulnerable.

I think it absolutely critical that the internal security and intelligence apparatus stay on high alert.

And that too with good evidence to pass it through the courts and get a speedy justice. Chucking out people out of their homes is easy, but may backfire. But a good solid criminal case (with bail denied etc. etc.), would show the power of justice system and the government's will to fight. And during all this while the clan can cool their heals in a good cell in Central Prison, Tihar.

Many 'friends' of Congress may soon become 'friends without benefits'
D P Satish,IBNLive.com | May 20, 2014 at 08:10pm IST

New Delhi: The humiliating defeat of the Congress party in the Lok Sabha polls is likely to hit a few people much harder than the others. Some of its spokespersons and managers, who were enjoying the perks of holding government and statutory positions while being active members of the party, may end up losing these coveted benefits.
For instance CR Keshavan, grandson of C Rajagopalachari, is Vice Chairperson of the Executive Council of Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development (RGNIYD).
Another spokesperson, Rajeev Gowda, whose father was Speaker of Karnataka Assembly, enjoys the lucrative post of Reserve Bank of India's Director, while being a spokesperson. Abid Rasool Khan, chairperson of the Minorities Panel in Andhra Pradesh is seen defending Congress on TV.

Some of the Congress's active members, who were enjoying the perks of holding government and statutory positions may end up losing these coveted benefits.
Recently, a storm had been kicked up when another functionary Gurdeep Sappal, the CEO of the Rajya Sabha TV was cornered for his open affiliation with the Congress party. Gurdeep was often seen hanging around in 15 Gurudwar Rakabganj with senior leaders of the party.

Secretary to the AICC, Manish Chatrath was given a plum post of Chairman of Delhi Tourism and transport development Corporation.

While all of these posts require that their incumbents are politically neutral, both legally and ethically, this norms was never followed in reality. But with the Congress losing power, it seems these 'friends of the party' may soon become 'friends without benefits'.

But that will leave the loophole of milking sympathy through portraying it as vindictiveness. Common people would have no idea about the nuances of the law even if there is a water tight case. The best bet us to simultaneously highlight any brazen behavior on their part and rip the "pro-poor" mask off of their face and show the elitist a they are. But then that too has it's pitfalls.

Loss to exchequer: >1 Lakh Crore
Loss to AP GDP: >$30b/yr
Loss to state wealth: > $100b
Loss to administrative efficiency: 10-15pts on 100pt scale
Loss to national health index: 20-30pts on 100pt scale

But trying to run on cheques is the basic minimum that is needed to start diluting the illegal economy.

I have not personally interacted with any part of their business and hence even I cannot be reliable in this regard. But still to be safe it would be advisable not to name names.

I remember seeing a pic on twitter saying it is a village in Gujarat. They paved the old/narrow road with bricks leaving the original houses on both sides of the road. It is how the historical structures of Varanasi can be protected.

Once they clean the river & Ghats the river front will look completely different. Add some strategic lighting and open theaters for cultural/religious shows/dramas/programs you will capture the imagination of pilgrims/tourists alike.

They can develop a new river front project on the other side of the river and progressively relocate the native population. The vacated areas in old city then can be converted into art/yoga/vedic-gurukulas making Varanasi the spiritual/intellectual capital of India/world again.

At some point the eyesore of Gnanavapi mosque need to be resolved. I hope Indian Muslims show their magnanimity & patriotism for this bigger cause.

Of course all the new developments including five star hotels, beach resorts are a little away from the old San Juan. Really enjoyed our trip there. It was a piece of Spain transplanted very close to Florida, USA.

Yes that would work. Go after MS Aiyer (any drunk driving charge or hexual misbehavior), digvijay Singh, abhishekh singhvi, etc. but leave clean people alone.

^ Basically apply rule as a blanket to all and sundry i.e. notice should start flying to all the occupants of 10 janpath who are not entitled to stay there and that might include so called Gandhian/Nehruvian turn coats who might have licked both INC and BJP boots at some time.

Sonia lives in 10 Janpath not because of any position she holds. That banglow was allocated to her husband post 89 elections. Pre 89 elections I & B and MEA minister Mr K.K Tiwari resided in it.

After RG was murdered in 91 no one bothered to ask SG to vacate it. Now, they may be asked to vacate it. Unless the one of the previous GOI's has not transferred the ownership to the mafia. The same goes for her children.
