Maybe we do not, but I guess someone in the BJP or the RSS knew about his potential so they chose him. I was hoping they would do the same here too, also he would have the advantage of being in the power to hone his skills, which Fadnavis did not have.I guess they are trying that with the 2 new DyCMs. How do you know they are not of the desired caliber. Few had heard of Farnavis before MH 2014.
Chota Modi (Sushil Modi, as he is known) will be given different responsibilities, - perhaps he will be given some central role.chetak wrote:the BH govt formation is slowly becoming a messy affair.
nitishwa is insistent in asking for the speaker's post as well. no end to his greed for power.
the BJP needs it and jiten manghi is making a strong bid for it as well.
if push comes to shove, the speaker's post could really turn out to be a very very lucrative one for any non JDU/BJP aspirant.
the minute sushil modi is made deputy CM, the BJP will be forced on the back foot with very little say in most matters. sushil modi is nitishwa's most reliable source into the inner workings of the BJP as well as his staunch supporter. It's a host parasite relationship between the two with sushil modi being the parasite and has been so for many of the CM terms of nitishwa.
sushil modi on his own is mostly a nonentity and a political lightweight
The GFRs are pretty clear on differentiation between Consultancy and Non-Consultancy services.

in sarkari circles becoming a 'consultant' after retirement is also known as 'getting a MNREGA'.
Satish Taseer cannot really be denied a tourist visa if he wants it. It is another matter that in these Covid times neither the inclination nor the means to travel is that great. But OCI is something else. Now if the OCI card is issued there would promptly be a PIL filed to embarrass the Government.Rsatchi wrote:https://indianexpress.com/article/opini ... h-7051837/

a visa can always be denied to an undesirable. The amerikis have denied plenty of visas to Indians on the flimsiest of reasons/grounds and never bothered with mundane things like explanations. It's high time that we paid them back in the same coin.nandakumar wrote:Satish Taseer cannot really be denied a tourist visa if he wants it.

That sentence is not accurate in any context involving a visa. The default position for any visa issuance is that you would be denied. It is up to the applicant to prove why they should not be denied. While this seems odd to those who may have had no trouble getting visas, this is exactly how visa issuance works - one starts from 'no' and offers enough reason to make it a yes.nandakumar wrote:Satish Taseer cannot really be denied a tourist visa if he wants it.
Never mind the gigantic corruption the distinguished economist presided over for 10 yearsAs the chief architect of India's economic transformation, (former) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seemed like a fitting emblem of this progress: a member of the tiny, often persecuted Sikh religious minority who had risen to the highest office in the land, and a self-effacing technocrat who had won people's trust not by appealing to their passions but by bringing about higher living standards and maintaining a well-earned reputation for not being corrupt, says Obama, who had visited India twice as president in 2010 and 2015.
If you can prove your secular credentials, liberals will forgive/overlook everything else

Muslims and Christians have a habit of projecting their own behavior patterns on others -- as a strategy, both of these keep accusing infidels / heathens / polytheists of persecuting members of other faiths, when it is Islam and Christianity that have been persecuting non-believers on an industrial scale since the last 1,500 years, and such hatred of others is institutionalized in their scriptures and mandated by their God (which apparently is the only true one in the universe). It is a theatre of the absurd.la.khan wrote:In many respects, modern-day India is counted as a success story, says Barack Obama

This is absolutely true. I was thinking about this myself a few days ago during a discussion. That is the reason why Muslims are absolutely terrified of India becoming a Hindu country, they think Hindus will treat Muslims just like Muslims treat Hindus in Muslim countries.sanjayc wrote:Muslims and Christians have a habit of projecting their own behavior patterns on others -- as a strategy, both of these keep accusing infidels / heathens / polytheists of persecuting members of other faiths, when it is Islam and Christianity that have been persecuting non-believers on an industrial scale since the last 1,500 years, and such hatred of others is institutionalized in their scriptures and mandated by their God (which apparently is the only true one in the universe).

Whether he had a real dad or nothing more than a sperm donor is irrelevant from the perspective of immigration authorities. He falsified paperwork, knowingly or otherwise. He had his OCI status revoked for that. He'll live with the consequences of that any time he has to apply for an Indian visa. Considering his revocation was recent, he's probably on a 10 year bar on application right now.

Five working days have long passed and no action seems to have been taken or maybe Ministry is satisfied with Twitter's reply.NEW DELHI: The government has issued a notice to Twitter for showing Leh as part of Jammu and Kashmir instead of the Union Territory of Ladakh, according to IT ministry sources.
The ministry, in its notice, has directed Twitter to explain within five working days why legal action should not be initiated against the micro-blogging platform and its representatives for disrespecting the territorial integrity of India by showing an incorrect map.
The notice was issued to Twitter by the Ministry of Electronics and IT on November 9, the sources said.

New Delhi: Social media giant Twitter has apologised in writing to a key parliamentary panel for wrongly showing Ladakh in China and has promised to correct the error by the month-end, the committee's chairperson Meenakshi Lekhi said on Wednesday.
Twitter's deposition has come in form of an affidavit signed by Damien Karien, Chief Privacy Officer of Twitter Inc, for wrong geo-tagging of India's map, Lekhi told .
Last month, the Joint Committee of Parliament on Data Protection Bill had come down heavily on Twitter for showing Ladakh as part of China, saying it amounted to treason and had sought an explanation by the US-based parent of the social media platform in form of an affidavit.
Appearing before the panel, chaired by Lekhi, representatives of Twitter India had "begged apology", but they were told by the members that it was a criminal offence that questioned the sovereignty of the country and an affidavit must be submitted by Twitter Inc, not by its 'marketing arm' Twitter India.
"Twitter has now given us a written apology on an affidavit for Ladakh being shown in China," Lekhi said.
"They have apologised for hurting Indian sentiments and have sworn to correct the error by November 30, 2020," she added.
