  • Vote Narendra Modi Despite BJP 10 Reasons

    Right man in the wrong Party.

    Political parties find their election candidates embarrassing at times.

    And the candidate , in general, has one goal, to defeat the opponent at the Polls.

    Narendra Modi is one such.

    The party he belongs to, at times, embarrasses him.

    BJP is not  a bad party, of late it is becoming a divided House.

    It is so democratic that you an hear a virtual Babel Tower on every issue, with the result,the issues being debated, are lost.

    Despite knowing pretty well it is Narendra Modi who has caught the imagination  of a disillusioned people,many BJP leaders want to play spoil sport over Modi.

    While people do want Narendra Modi as Prime Minister of India, it is the BJP’s antics and funny strategies that make one pause,,

    Is it worth voting BJP to ensure Narendra Modi coming to Power?

    Such is the pull of warring factions.

    If Modi commands respect and affection it is because of His forthrightness, calling a spade as one and his commitment to the oft touted now diluted principles  of the BJP.

    Despite the confusion BJP had made in stitching together alliances for the elections, this is why BJP should be voted to power, if only to ensure that Modi becomes the PM.

    Pray that BJP does not throw the spanner in the works.

    Why should one vote for Narendra Modi, through BJP?

    Narendra Modi speaks.
    Narendra Modi Quotes on Governance.

    1.Transparency and Integrity.

    Modis’ running of the Gujarat has been one of transpareny and he minces no words when he implements any programme for the welfare of the State.

    On Free distribution of power , he declared that electricity costs money, he can not afford to offer freebies and people should pay for it.

    Result Gujarat is more than self-sufficient in Power in India, the only one.

    Or look at the way he appoints enquiry into his own deeds if necessary.

    Or his wooing of Business, at the same time he is not being run by the corporate.

    He nails them when warranted.

    Infrastructure, Roads, Public distribution, way ahead of the other States.

    On Godhra Riots, the Center has tried all the avenues open to it , to sully his name.

    Special team, CBI and even the Supreme Court.

    Embarrassing for them all of them have given a clean chit to Modi in the riots in Gujarat.

    The socalled “Muslims living in fear in Gujarat’ is nullified by the declaration of the Community that Modi is not against them, but terrorism

    2.Administration Open honest and swift

    He is accessible, unlike the other able administrator, Jayalalithaa the CM of Tamil Nadu.

    3.Modi  is clear on his foreign policy be it Pakistan, Bangladesh or the US.

    He does not seem to be cowed by the US nor rattled by the fact he might lose votes if he is soft with Pakistan

    On immigrants in Assam, West Bengal , he is for sending them back or at least regulating them.

    4.As of date none of the corruption charges made against his has stuck for there is nothing to stick.

    5.He has not or is presiding over scams, starting from Bofors, through 2G, ISRO-Dewas-Antrix,,CWG,Maharashtra irrigation,Thorium,Adarsh,defence coffin purchase…

    6.Nor has he had his name implicated in an Italian Court for Corruption in Westland Helicopter deal.

    7.He does not have a Swiss bank account.

    8.He was not thrust as the prime Ministerial Candidate as Congress has done.

    9.He does not foist Cases.

    10.He stands by his Officers, does not make them scape goats.

    India has a Party system and does not have a Presidential form of governance.

    BJP has placed the cart before the Horse by projection Narendra Modi as the would be PM..

    Hope BJP does not upset the Cart.

  • Bigotry In The Indian Premier League And The Bigger Picture

    The writer very cleverly abuses India in the guise of trying to bemoan Pakistan’s current status.Yes, IPL incident is a deliberate snub
    The reason has been obliquely hinted, that nobody wants to have a Pakistani in the team , taking into consideration the situation prevailing over there.No cricketing reason whatsoever.
    No doubt Pakistani players are exciting to watch.Then you can nor be sure whether they will take part in the competition as and when demanded by the franchisees for their country is in such a shape that their President does not know who is running the country or what will happen to Pakistan or himself.Under the circumstances, it is prudent on the part of the franchisees not to have bought any of them, for we are talking of investments and returns , not charity.
    Added to this is the PCB’s propensity of recalling players, players in match fixing scandals, dope scandal.
    Even if it were to be because of souring relations between the two countries,what is wrong in India treating these players as persona non grata?Let Pakistan understand their chaotic , region and world destroying policies have a price.
    many over there will no doubt feign ignorance over Pakistan’s malicious acts against India.
    If you close your eyes, world shall not cease to exist.
    You do so, as has been proved, at your own peril.
    Further, Pakistan declares that Pakistan parliamentary panel will not be coming to India as a retort.
    You are Welcome to take such an action.
    Keep on doing things like this with all countries,say for example with Sri Lanka whose cricketers were attacked in Pakistan;US, because it is ‘Satan’;Bangladesh ,for it seceded from you;UK,EU and Japan for they are cordial with India.
    Please be content with China and North Korea: from the former you can get Nuclear Technology and later give Pakistan away in a platter;with North Korea to whom you can sell nuclear secrets.
    Remember, sins of rulers visit their subjects.

    Story:
    What I am about to write may hurt my Indian friends and I am sorry. There are crooks, cranks and madmen in every country including India and there is no exaggeration in what I write. I am merely writing from the heart as I always do.

    Much has been said about the Indian Premier League’s decision to leave out Pakistani cricketers in the year that Pakistan is the defending World Twenty20 Cricket Champion. Indians have come up with the stupidest excuses – excuses that cannot and should not make sense to any reasonable person. But then we are not dealing with reasonable people.

    Forgive me for being harsh, but the truth is that Indians today are drunk with power and acting like the world’s newly rich. All of a sudden a hitherto mal-nourished and largely backward people through no fault of their own, mired in religious superstition and other such meandering parochialisms, find themselves sitting on a lot of wealth (or so they think) primarily – though not completely- because they have perfected the fine art and exact science of geometric population multiplication. In the process they have learnt to use terms that they have not arrived at organically – secularism, democracy, economy- etc but as events repeatedly show are clever ploys to claim a stake in the world. A few hours after the world trade center bombing, I ran into a few Indians in New Jersey and shared my feelings of profound sorrow with them. They responded with one line “America is finished now- India is the next world super power”- Again and Again I ran into Indians who repeated the same line to me . To me this response sums up the Indian uber-nationalist psyche for better or for worse. Ofcourse this is not to suggest that there aren’t any fine Indians- many manyIndians are genuine humanists and liberal secularists. They are not driving Indian policy however.

    When Mumbai happened (and Pakistan mind you has had its fairshare of Mumbais too- many of which can be traced to India as well according to Pakistan’s government), India’s intelligentsia on a power-trip began to strategise how to hurt Pakistan and destroy it. These are not random Zaid Hamid like offbase characters or Kashifiat type Jamaat-e-Islami crazies who are laughable at best. Take a look at this brilliant professor at the IIM who wrote this ridiculous piece . India’s crook, cranks and madmen are ordinary respectable members of society. It is this thinking that is behind IPL franchises opting out of choosing Pakistani players. (One must take heart from the fact that Indian captain said in 2009 WT20 that India would win the tournament because all its cricketers play in the IPL. Pakistan ended up winning the tournament without even a single player playing in the IPL that year).

    The irony is that many Pakistanis don’t understand just how far we have squandered our natural advantage over India. If there was ever a country in the subcontinent that had the potential of being a first world country, it was Pakistan. Pakistan is a naturally resource-rich country which is also at the crossroads of world’s energy and commercial transport hubs. Despite our many failures, we have a growing middle class, a free media and a growing consciousness which will transform Pakistan into a modern democracy. We do however need to throw out this unnatural obsession with religion. We should also sue for peace with India but as the IPL has proved abundantly, we need to look in all directions.

    If we can put our house in order , Pakistan has the potential and ability to outdo India in every field and stand. Everyone other than Pakistanis themselves knows it. Indians know it and this is why you find so many Indian trolls baiting and abusing Pakistanis on Pakistani websites. In the information age – catching up will never be the problem but first we have to make up our minds. Do we want to live respectably with our heads held high? That would mean hard choices – one of which is to do away with our own crooks, cranks and madmen who have kept us mired in pipedreams and shadows.

    The question is who is going to bell the cat? No instead we shall continue to persecute our minorities, let the mullahs lead us astray and watch ridiculous Indian fillums like 3 Idiots as a national past-time.
