Corruption: All in the name of the Nehru Gandhi Family

Most of these programmes have been a complete failure with thousands of crores of Tax payers money wasted or rather misused to build brand Congress and to perpetuate a Dynasty-rule in so-called Democracy!

These self-congratulating sycophants can't find anyone other than these three Nehru-Gandhi out of 1.2 Billion Indian populace to name these so-called schemes after them. What a shame!

All in the name of the Nehru Gandhi Family

Most of the central and state government programmes and schemes and national and state-level institutions which run on public money have been named after three members of the Nehru-Gandhi family. The Congress Party’s desire to credit every social sector programme, every national institution and every national achievement to these three individuals -Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru – has reached vulgar proportions, specially after the Congress-led UPA came to power in 2004.

BUILDING BRAND CONGRESS WITH PUBLIC MONEY

In a planned and systematic effort to gain unfair advantage over other political parties, the Congress Party has named all major government programmes, projects and institutions in the country after three members of the Nehru-Gandhi family - Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru – who are its icons, and disturbed the level playing field in the electoral arena.

Over the last 18 years, on a rough estimate about 450 Central and State Government programmes, projects and national and state level institutions involving public expenditure of hundreds of thousands of crores of rupees have been named after these three individuals. While it is the prerogative of a government to name an institution after a person whom it considers to be a national or state leader, government programmes which have been initiated to ameliorate the lives of millions of citizens ( like drinking water, housing and employment guarantee schemes and old age pensions) fall into an entirely different category. If the nomenclature of these programmes is not politically neutral, the sanctity of the democratic system would be in jeopardy.

Among the big ticket programmes that have been cleverly named after members of this family by the Union Government to extract unjust electoral mileage is the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (rural electrification programme), which involves an outgo of Rs 28,000 crore during the Eleventh Plan period (Rs 5500 Cr in fiscal 2008-09). The drinking water mission, with an allocation of Rs 21,000 crore over three years (Rs 7300 crore in 2008-09 and Rs 7400 Cr in 2009-10) is also named after him and is called the Rajiv Gandhi Drinking Water Mission. Other schemes, touching millions of people, which bear his name are the Rajiv Gandhi National Creche Scheme for Children of Working Mothers; the Rajiv Gandhi Udyami Mitra Yojana ( to promote small enterprises); the Rajiv Gandhi Shramik Kalyan Yojana and the Rajiv Gandhi Shilpi Swasthya Bima Yojana ( both insurance schemes).

Likewise, there are many mega programmes named after Indira Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru by the Centre. For example, there is Indira Awas Yojana. The budgetary allocation for this programme to house the poor is Rs 7919.00 Cr in 2008-09 and Rs 7914.70 Cr in 2009-10. Also named after her is the Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme
(Rs 3443 Cr in 2008-09). Programmes named after Jawaharlal Nehru over the last two decades are the Jahawarlal Nehru Rojgar Yojana and the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission. The Rojgar Yojana, which later metamorphosed into Jawaharlal Gram Samruddi Yojana was meant to provide employment to millions of unemployed citizens. The Union Government proposes to spend Rs 50,000 Cr over seven years on the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission. (allocation of Rs 10447.98 Cr in 2008-09 and 10713.84 Cr in 2009-10).

This trend is even more apparent in the states, which have vied with each other to name programmes and schemes after these three members of the Nehru-Gandhi Family whenever the Congress Party was in power. Here is a sample: Rajiv Gandhi Breakfast Scheme, Pondicherry; Rajiv Ratna Awas Yojana, Delhi; Rajiv Arogyasri Health Insurance scheme, Andhra Pradesh; Rajiv Gandhi Computer Literacy Mission, Assam; Rajiv Gandhi Bridges and Roads Infrastructure Development Programme, Haryana; Rajiv Gandhi Vidyarthi Suraksha Yojana, Maharastra; Rajiv Gandhi Tourism Development Mission, Rajasthan; Indira Kranthi Patham Scheme and Indira Jeevitha Bima Pathakam, Andhra Pradesh; Indira Gandhi Niradhar Yojana and Indira Gandhi Landless Agriculture Labour Scheme, Maharastra; Indira Gandhi Priyadarshini Vivah Shagun Yojana, Haryana; Indira Gandhi Calf-Rearing Scheme, Andhra Pradesh.

A perusal of these programmes and schemes shows a systematic attempt by the Congress Party to name every government programme concerning every citizen – man ,woman, child; every possible circumstance in the life of every citizen – child bearing, child rearing, education of children, food, education of youth, employment, marriage, unemployment, destitution, handicap; and every possible challenge flowing out of lack of infrastructure – drinking water, electricity and housing after just three members of this political family who are icons of the Congress Party.

Obviously, the plan is to ensure maximum recall of Brand Congress among voters at every stage in life. Therefore, nothing is left out. The crèche for children of the working poor is named after Rajiv Gandhi. So is a breakfast scheme for poor children. The parents need to remember him for a host of other reasons – rural drinking water, rural electrification or scholarships. Indira Gandhi comes in when the poor want a house subsidized by the government and you think of Nehru when urban renewal programmes come into play. The Congress Party has taken its obsession with this family to such an extent that even calf-rearing schemes are named after them. Shockingly, even Brand IIM had been tinkered with. While all institutes of management started by the Centre go under the IIM brand, the Congress Party has mischievously named the IIM is Shillong as the Rajiv Gandhi Indian Institute of Management.

The list of 450 government programmes, schemes, institutions etc named after these three members of the Nehru-Gandhi family broadly fall into the following categories: Central government programmes and projects (12), State Government Programmes (52), Universities and Educational Institutions (98), Ports and Airports (6), Awards, Scholarships and Fellowships (66), Sports Tournaments, Trophies and Stadia ( 47), National Parks and Sanctuaries (15), Hospitals and Medical Institutions (39), National Scientific and Research Institutions, Chairs and festivals (37), Roads, Buildings and Places (74).

Apart from violation of basic democratic norms and electoral law, the naming spree has crossed all limits of decency. Every major sports tournament has been named after the Nehru-Gandhis, as if no other nobody else matters, not even the greats in Indian Sports. Among tournaments named after Rajiv Gandhi are national and international tournaments in football, basketball, judo, roller skating, beachball, kabaddi, rural cricket, gymnastics, boxing, the Delhi Marathon and the Kerala Boat Race. If anything is left out, it has been named after Indira Gandhi and Nehru. The same pattern is repeated in major national parks, universities, fellowships and scholarships. Such is the obsession of Congress governments with this family that they name India’s biggest open university after Indira Gandhi and name fellowships granted there after Rajiv Gandhi. Similarly, the centre for advanced scientific research in Bangalore is named after Nehru and the science talent fellowships awarded there are named after Rajiv Gandhi. For long years we are all familiar with the Fullbright Scholarships. The Manmohan Singh government has ensured that this is now known as the Fullbright-Jawaharlal Nehru Scholarship! We are unlikely to see anything so gross even in dictatorships like in North Korea. ( Please see the entire list given to the Election Commission elsewhere in this newspaper)

This blatant attempt to package and market government programmes run on public money as munificent offerings from a single family to the people has made a mockery of the Model Code of Conduct drawn up by the Election Commission for observance by all political parties.

I have therefore petitioned the Chief Election Commissioner and requested him to immediately issue directions to the Union Government and to all the governments in the states and direct them to remove the names of individuals, who are seen by the people as icons of specific political parties, from all government programmes and schemes funded by the exchequer and to immediately give these programmes politically neutral names. Such a direction from the Election Commission will ensure enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct in letter and spirit and will also be in consonance with the various directions and instructions issued by the Commission from time to time.

WHERE IS THE LEVEL PLAYING FIELD?

Such is the obsession of the Congress Party with three members of the Nehru-Gandhi family that even the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi has been virtually forgotten. The Congress Party’s contempt for Mahatma Gandhi is best explained by the fact that just one central scheme – the Mahatma Gandhi Backward Region Development Fund- has been named after him. Even this tokenism has come as an after thought only in 2007, almost 60 years after the Mahatma’s assassination. On the other hand, schemes to promote rural electrification, drinking water, crèche for children and micro and small industries in rural areas ( each of which was close to the heart of the Mahatma) are all named after Rajiv Gandhi. Again, the scheme to build houses for the rural poor
(something that would have made the Mahatma proud) is named after Indira Gandhi, as also the national old age pension scheme. Yet another programme which ought to have been named after the Mahatma - the greatest Indian of the 20 th Century- is the Rozgar Yojana which guarantees 100 days of work for the rural unemployed all over the country. Even this programme was initially named after Jawaharlal Nehru as also the Urban Renewal Mission (annual budgetary allocation of over Rs 10,000 Crores).
.
Equally glaring is the omission of many other eminent Indians including Sardar Vallabhai Patel, India’s first Deputy Prime Minister who undertook the arduous task of integrating 563 princely states into a single nation and Dr.B.R.Ambedkar, who presided over the committee that drafted our Constitution and embedded basic values of democracy and social justice. No central programmes have been named after them. Such is the Congress Party’s determination to name every scheme after members of the Nehru-Gandhi family that even the National Fellowship Scheme for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe students is named after Rajiv Gandhi and not Dr.Ambedkar, the man who waged a relentless battle to better the lot of the Dalits in India. There are hundreds of other leaders belonging to various political shades who have made an invaluable contribution to the building of India, but not a single central government programme is named after any of them. The list of those ignored is a pretty long one. They include Rabindranath Tagore, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Bal Gandadhar Tilak, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Sarojini Naidu, Jayaprakash Narayan, Acharya Vinoba Bhave, C.Rajagopalachari, Rajendra Prasad and every other stalwart of the freedom movement. Also ignored are great saints like Aurobindo and Swami Vivekananda; Social reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Mahatma Phule; great scientists like C.V.Raman, Homi Bhabha, Vikram Sarabhai and Narlekar and great patriots like Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekar Azad.

While there are many examples of this kind in the states as well, the most glaring example, which raises a question is regard to free and fair election is the blatant advertisement of the Congress Party on the ambulances that provide emergency medical help all over Andhra Pradesh. These ambulances, which reach every village in the state in quick time, provide efficient integrated emergency services that cover medical emergencies, police and fire. The capital expenditure on each ambulance is Rs 10 lakh to Rs 16 lakhs and the running cost per ambulance is Rs 1.25 lakh per month. All this expenditure is borne out of public funds drawn from the Union and State accounts. Yet, it is made out as if these ambulances are a gift from the Congress Party to the people of the State because every ambulance carries a portrait of Rajiv Gandhi on both sides of the vehicle with the legend “Rajiv Arogyasri”. The Congress Party is drawing undue electoral advantage out of this programme, which is being made to look like a programme of a political party or a private donor. Gujarat too has ensured full coverage of all its 18080 villages by these ambulances. But it does not advertise these ambulances as some kind of largesse from the ruling party.

Many years ago, when the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was in power at the Centre, it launched the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana. This nomenclature, as is obvious, is politically neutral. Several schemes launched by the present government in Madhya Pradesh also carry politically neutral names and are called Mukhya Mantri Yojanas. The Election Commission ought to commend this model to all governments in the larger interests of democracy and to ensure fair and objective conditions for all political players.

Part VII of the Model Code of Conduct drafted by the Election Commission says “the party in power whether at the Centre or in the State shall ensure that no cause is given for any complaint that it has used its official position for the purposes of its election campaign”. It prohibits ministers from misusing official machinery “in furtherance of the interest of the party in power”. They are not to issue advertisements at the cost of the public exchequer or do anything “which may have the effect of influencing the voters in favour of the party in power”. In other words, the Code prohibits a party in power from using its “official position” for its election campaign and this includes anything associated with government – vehicles, personnel, propaganda. The key injunction is that nothing should be done which would amount to “influencing the voters in favour of the party in power”. If this be so, how can the commission possibly allow the ruling Congress Party to name schemes worth over Rs One Lakh Crores after just three members of a single family who are icons of that political party?

It is surprising how such a glaring misuse of government machinery and public funds for partisan political purposes has not caught the attention of the Election Commission which has always displayed alacrity in disciplining political parties. Given the commission’s rigid and inflexible approach to even minor violations by other parties, should it not take immediate steps to correct the imbalance that the Congress Party has brought about through this Machiavellian device of naming all schemes and programmes after its icons?

In fact, the commission has specifically stressed the importance of “a level playing field” among all political parties in several of its orders and decisions. It said so when a complaint was made against the Union Minister Mr.Arjun Singh in April, 2006. It said the government should not disturb “the level playing field among the political parties in the election arena”. It said persons in power should not only uphold the Code of Conduct “but should also be perceived to be doing so”. The question that now arises is that if every other government scheme or project is named only after icons of the Congress Party, how can the public “perceive” the ruling party to be upholding the Code?

1.
In yet another case involving the distribution of tourism department material in a New Delhi Assembly Constituency in November, 2003, the commission had pulled up the Union Tourism Minister Mr. Jagmohan for “misusing” government publicity materials.

Equally relevant is the commission’s instructions dated November, 21, 2007 in which it directed all governments to strictly ensure that all references to politicians and ministers on the official website of the government should be deleted during the period of General Elections to the Lok Sabha and the State Legislative Assemblies. It said individuals associated with a party should not eulogise government achievements “as personal achievements”. If that is so, how can thousands of crores of public money spent on government schemes be palmed off as gifts from a single party or worse, a single family, to the people?

It would therefore be in the fitness of things if the commission issues a direction to the Union Government and all governments in the states to ensure that the nomenclature of all schemes and programmes is politically neutral and to delete the names of members of the Nehru-Gandhi family from these schemes immediately because of the unfair advantage that this offers to the Congress Party in the election arena. Since the schedule for the Lok Sabha election has already been announced, the Commission will have to issue this direction immediately and with the same alacrity it displayed in respect of other cases in the past.

Mr.N.Gopalaswami
Chief Election Commissioner

Subject: Unfair advantage accruing to the Congress Party because of naming of Central and State Government schemes and programmes after icons of that party.

Sir,

I would like to draw your attention to a matter concerns free and fair elections and a level playing field for all political parties.

I notice that over the last 18 years, there has been a planned and sustained effort by the Congress Party to name all major government programmes, projects and institutions in the country after three members of the Nehru-Gandhi family viz Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi.

On a rough estimate about 450 Central and State Government programmes, projects and national and state level institutions involving public expenditure of hundreds of thousands of crores of rupees have been named after these three individuals. While it is the prerogative of a government to name an institution after a person whom it considers to be a national or state leader, government programmes which have been initiated to ameliorate the lives of millions of citizens ( like drinking water, housing, old age pensions, employment guarantee etc) fall into an entirely different category.

If the nomenclature of these programmes is not politically neutral, the sanctity of the democratic system would be in jeopardy and it would not be possible to ensure a level playing field for all political parties.

Arun Shourie reveals secrets of Congress

Arun Shourie launches Advani@Campus Programme at JNU

Mr. Arun Shourie interacts with the students at Jawahar Lal Nehru University (JNU) during innovative Advani @ Campus drive to connect with the students. He reveals and I am flabbergasted to know that the Dhimmi Sardar prostrated in front of Hu Jin Tao of China. What a shame! Mr. Shourie talks on Congress's corruption cases, economic crisis, terrorism, dismal infrastructure development, devaluation of important Constitutional posts, etc. He talks on helpless PM's "main ki karaan? Madame se poocho" attitude. He also talks on BJP's plans to fix the economy and secure the nation.

I am shocked to know through Mr. Shourie in these videos that in 2005 Bharat (misnomer: India) constructed only 14 km of Highway under the National Highway Development Project started by Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee's NDA government. Shame on this UPA Government and shame on those people who voted for it!

















Gujarat Chief Minister Mr. Narendra Modi on Telangana and economic crisis. The crowd is just amazing.

Raul Vinci aka Rahul Gandhi's General Knowledge

This is a must watch guys. Raul Vinci aka Rahul Gandhi's shows off his Geography skills, lagta hai Bharat darshan road shows tamashe se kuch nahi seekha. No wonder he dropped out of college thrice and failed in Hindi exam! Man I was twitching in my seat listening to his convoluted answers all perplexed and so. After showing the depth of his general knowledge and geography skills, which is a must watch, the inexperienced heir apparent of Congress says India is so vast to manage that they have outsourced their election management to a NGO called Fame which has 6 election commissioners just for Punjab one of them called Mr. Lindoh who select the candidates for Congress. So congress has no say if the candidate has a criminal background. Yeah, good luck translating it! Someone please explain to this dolt that there is only one Super PM Antonia Maino aka Sonia who even remote controls dweebish PM and he is saying that she doesn't have any say in candidate selection. Sure, we all believe that. May be he should come out of his aquarium once in a while or someone should deliver maps of Akhand Bharat, present Bharatiya Upmahadweep (sub-continent), present Bharat and World map to the prince of monarchic Congress. That would be a good start.

Here it is, have the look into Raul Vinci's IQ

• Shocking state of Rahul Gandhi’s General Knowledge!(Video)


• Rahul's Geography Skills


• Rahul Gandhi’s Geography - Online Video Parody

Bharat continues to pay a heavy price for Gandhi's autocratic decision to appoint inexperienced Jawahar Lal Nehru overruling Pradesh Congress Committees that overwhelmingly, 12 out of 15, supported Sardar Patel resulted in many unfortunate consequences. Now Bharatvaasi have another inexperienced heir from the same dynasty whose educational qualifications, citizenship status, marital status, economic understandings, leadership and administrative qualities are all a big question mark. History is again repeating itself.

14th Lok Sabha ends, the worst in history

Few MPs in House in last day of 14th Lok Sabha

It was curtains for the 14th Lok Sabha on Thursday which will go down in history as a House full of unprecedented acrimony, controversies and dubious distinctions like cash-for-vote scam and disqualification of 11 members.

The Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die by Speaker Somnath Chatterjee who recorded his dismay at the huge 24 per cent of time lost due to disruptions and "politics of intense confrontation".

The House enacted 258 legislations, including the landmark ones like Right to Information, National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, Protection for Women from Domestic Violence Act, Disaster Management Act and National Investigation Agency Act.

At the same time, the 14th Lok Sabha witnessed the unprecedented lows like display of wads of currency notes during the Confidence Vote in July last year, with three BJP members alleging that they were offered money to save the Manmohan Singh government.

The 14th Lok Sabha also witnessed 11 members being disqualified for various acts of misconduct, including corruption. Some other members were disqualified under anti-defection law for cross-voting.

Oooooh, the house enacted landmark legislations, let's have a look:

Right to Information: Nice step but only on books. Moment after it's enactment Congress led UPA government handicapped it by appointing bureaucrats as CIC, PMO cut it's wings by removing important parts of it for eg. by withdrawing ability to reveal all important file notings, denying the information by hiding behind the official's secrets act and most recently by refusing to reveal any information by Judges, PMO, Ministers and bureaucrats.

National Rural Employment Guarantee Act: Zealously marketed as Antonia Maino aka Sonia Gandhi's pet project (mind you not Prime Minister but Super PM), this is just another farce Band Aid act to fool the innocent poor farmers et al. It's an act with most under used funds and ironically it's best implemented in non-Congress non-Left BJP ruled states.

Protection for Women from Domestic Violence Act: Bombastic, Female chauvinist and selective claimer of "Talibanization is happening" Ms. Renuka Chaudhury of Congress brought this one-sided not-so-men-friendly-due-to-loop-holes act which did nothing but to legitimize another one of blindly copied immoral western concept of "live-in" relationships. In addition to create more complex societies because now a person has to pay maintenance to any woman who claims it by accusing domestic violence, in other words living a polygamist life despite being a single, this may cause an increase in the false cases which will waste all important judiciary time and taxpayers money. It's funny that so much was the side effect of this act, most probably coincidentally, that Yash Raj Films and Karan Johar have been only coming out with movies on the topic of live-in relationships (like Salam Namaste) and infidelity (some K movie.. Kabhi Alvida something I guess).

Disaster Management Act: Oh, how well Bharat managed disasters like floods in Bihar, Islamic terrorist attack in Mumbai on 26/11 when NSG took more than 14 hours to reach the ground zero and some of the Indian media possibly compromised the operation due to their unethical journalistic practices or recently during false hijack by a deranged man when officials had no idea what to do with the isolated plane and it took more than 2 hours to open the door and passengers were talking to media through relatives.

National Investigation Agency Act: Here we come to the NIAaaaa (yawning) agency. You may not be concerned but bring us (Congress led UPA with Left support) to power and we will remove POTA, not build infrastructure, not build schools, not build colleges, not stop taxing any Mandirs, not stop breaking Ancient Hindu heritages, not build an indigenous weapons system with strong armed forces but bring us to power and we will remove POTA. What was the f**cking point of removing POTA when you had to create this half-baked bureaucratic agency half-heartedly not immuned from political influence. Why did this derelict government waited for over 42 major terrorist and naxal attacks to happen only to bring this handicapped version of act back without any proper Parliament scrutiny? Why was the fashionable Shivraj Patil, the worst Home Minister who was busy changing his clothes not sacked earlier? Why is he not being tried for criminal negligence when there was credible information about the recent Islamic terrorist attacks in Mumbai as back as one year before the unfortunate day?

The report may have conveniently forgotten but we have not forgotten this following bill:

Office of Profit Bill: A tight slap on the face of constitution's founding fathers and the people of the so-called republic when the whole constitution is modified just to save and for the profit of one person who was married in the dynasty which conveniently happens to have the same last name as one of the freedom fighter of Bharat. The shameful bill has the word profit in it and it is nothing but black spot on the Khichdi constitution of Bharat. Unfortunately the meaning of Republic stands changed from "of the people by the people for the people that is not led by a hereditary monarch" to "of a person by a person for the person led by a particular dynastic monarchy in disguise of democracy".

TOI you are right. These are landmark legislations. They serve as exemplary example of what not to do for future generation of Bharat, if they happen to be Hindu and nationalist that is, and they will laugh over dinner of what fool their ancestors were to not learn from their ancestor Dhritrashtr's mistakes.

LK Advani on Dynastic, Votebank Communal politics

Bharat's (misnomer: India) next prospective Prime Minister Mr. Lal Krishna Advani's remarkable speech on dynastic monarchic and vote bank politics of Congress, et al who exploit Muslims at the cost of the Nation and Muslims themselves.

When is the right time to ask?

Video: '26/11 wouldn't have taken place without internal help' says Narendra Modi

So here we have the "modern" "westernized" commentators of the News "Entertainment" channels with their Anti-Hindu bigoted ideologue based reportage who have to use a set of pet keywords like "attempt to politicize the issue", "poorly timed", "will undoubtedly look at his comments", blah... blah... blah... every time Mr. Modi et al raise questions. Now do you understand why I called them commentators and not news reporters. Nothing personal about them but this is the state of Bharatiya (misnomer: Indian) media today in general. They give 24/7 commentary and not news.

Firstly, in this case the commentator is of course denying Mr. Modi, a citizen of Bharat, his democratic right to question the government, which is dragging its feet on the issue of terror, by tagging it as politicization of issue. Hence, as per them his concern should be ignored just because he is a politician that too in opposition, no matter how important his question is to the national security.

Secondly, they are using words like "poor timing" again and again. Well, may I ask, when is the good time to ask? Should we keep a diary with Antonia Maino or Raul Vinci to see when the royal family is comfortable and available to answer to the Diwan-Ae-Aam? With elections happening in the country every 6-8 months, when is the good time to ask? These people will always think the issue is either politicized when it is a question of national security or communalized when it is a question of Hindu rights and civil liberties.

If the Chief Election Commissioner reveals to the nation some serious acts of partisanship being committed by Election Commissioner, who has a bladder problem, they call it poor timing because it is against the Muslim Rightist political party of their choice.

When Mr. Modi talks about inclusive development, they talk about divisive communal riots forgetting about the Muslim Terrorist attack on Godhra Train which started it all. Why don't they question those who have bribed the witnesses?

Look at the shear opinion making tactic by such media. After questioning his Democratic Right to criticize the government, they extrapolate the issue by filling it with their biased assumptions that it is poor timing as now Pakistan will use Mr. Modi's critique as a way out. What BS!

Firstly, if that is the case then it means that Government of Bharat doesn't have a fool proof case of Pakistan's involvement and/or international standing to noose the hooks of that terrorist state.

Secondly, even if there is local support in Bharat that doesn't vindicate Pakistan or Pakistani citizens of their involvement in 26/11. They should be brought to books.

Thirdly, Mr. Modi didn't name anyone, so how do these news commentators know that he was communalizing the issue. Did he say that the 26/11 terrorists from Pakistan got local support from people of XYZ religion or ideology? No. Then who is communal here to see his statement as communal? You hear what you want to hear, you see what you want to see.

Fourthly, if these news commentators are so worried that because Mr. Modi has justifiably pointed out such a valid point about the local support, which the present government has so cleverly swept under the carpet of vote-bank politics in connivance with the prejudice sell-out media, that Pakistan will use this as an opportunity. Why didn't these news commentators raise the similar clamor when Col. Purohit and Sadhvi Pragya Thakur were physically mentally sexually tortured, Holy Hindu scriptures were burnt, they were brutaly beaten and were blamed with all the possible weird accusations through leak-a-day from ATS? Which incidentally prompted Pakistan to ask for custody of Col. for both his still to be publicly proved guilt and still to be publicly substantiated involvement in Samjhauta Express blast and also further demoralized the already demoralized army due to all such false accusations thrown at it like ammunition being stolen from it.

Those who help the terrorists locally or from outside irrespective of their religion or ideology are Anti-Bharat, Anti-Hindu and traitors. Period.






So why don't these news commentators do us a favor and tell us when is the right time to exercise our democratic right to ask questions and/or criticize otherwise they should just shut the f**k up and stop their Anti-Hindu bigotry! Take it easy.

Swapan Dasgupta: Only a Gandhi can be king

Very nice article "Only a Gandhi can be king" by Mr. Swapan Dasgupta on undemocratic monarchic Congress and its dynastic politics, below are a few excerpts:

I have no complaints about editors rooting for the Congress’ victory in the general election and doing the groundwork for the fourth member of the Nehru-Gandhi family to become Prime Minister. The right to genuflect at the altar of any god or false prophet is constitutionally-guaranteed and, hopefully, will always remain so. What is interesting though are those (apart from Rahul Gandhi) that have been projected as representatives of the Congress’ Gen-Next: Jyotiraditya Scindia, Sachin Pilot, Jitin Prasada and Milind Deora. Apart from age, a felicity with the English language and People-Like-Us clubability, what binds these youth icons?

The answer is inheritance. Every single one of these personable Page Three figures has been catapulted to the centrestage of politics on the strength of an accident of birth. True, this is not a disqualification. Nor should it be said that in time to come many of these individuals will not distinguish themselves for reasons of ability, rather than pedigree. For the moment, however, they enjoy a head-start because of privilege — a principle that flouts every norm of modernity.

The new mansabdari system that has become the basis for the Congress is what distinguishes it from the other national party. Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj, Narendra Modi and Shivraj Singh Chouhan may be faulted for being born when they were. Tragically, selecting the year of birth is something that an individual has very little control over. Yet, what distinguishes each of them from the Congress’ youth pantheon is that they were not to the manor born. They have got to where they have on the strength of their abilities. They have not inherited political seats and they are not blessed by entitlement.

The Congress’ claim to be a party of modernity is built on spurious foundations.

What makes this drift to mindlessness doubly galling is that it is prefaced by the astonishing arrogance of birth. The Gandhis may be India’s most formidable pre-sold brand but it does not accord to the family the divine right to treat India and its institutions as a private estate.

The unfortunate Pranab Mukherjee is a case in point.

Instead, every ingenuous trick has been played to undermine his importance, to show that he is not a first among equals and that he doesn’t enjoy the full trust of the owners of the Congress. After PV Narasimha Rao, one of India’s great Prime Ministers, the owners have decided that competence always comes second to loyalty and subservience. The Congress youth are relevant because their fathers served the owners loyally and because it is hoped that the same loyalty has become a family trait.

The Congress model of modernity is akin to the Chinese Communist Party’s prescription for its youth. Young China can enrich itself, have a ball in the pubs and discos, even get on Facebook, but it is forbidden from thinking for itself. To this the Congress has added its proscription — don’t have ideas above your station.

The hierarchy of dynastic India is defined and unshakable. The slumdog can be a millionaire but only a Gandhi is King.

Shivraj Chouhan's cabinet is full of Graduates and Post-Graduates

Almost all of the Ministers in Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's cabinet are either Graduate or Post Graduate. Maximum number of them are law graduates as seven out of the total twenty two possess the LLB degree.

While Chouhan is post-graduate in Philosophy, the law graduates include Babulal Gaur, Jayant Mallaiya, Gopal Bhrgava, Raghavji, Kailash Vijaywargiya,Laxmikant Sharma and Jagdish Devda, official sources said.

Three engineers, two (Jagannath Singh and K L Agrawal) in mechanical stream and one (Rajendra Shukla) in civil have also found the place in the State Cabinet.

Among the two women members in the Cabinet, Archana Chitnis is MSc BEd and therefore, entrusted with the task of managing School and Higher Education departments, they said.

Another woman member of the Cabinet is Ranjana Bagel who is a post-graduate and entrusted with the task of managing Women and Child Development department.

Five of them are graduates while two are post-graduates.

Dr R M Krishna Kusumaria is the most highly qualified person in the Cabinet with a doctorate degree.

The least qualified minister is Devi Singh Sayyam who did not pursue his education after standard eighth.

Although the idea of a Lawyer as Minister does sounds scary to me, no offense to the profession. There is a popular sentiment like this in the US and Bharatvaasi (misnomer: Indians) have also burnt their hands in the past with the Blunder of a Century Jawahar Lal Nehru who was also lawyer by profession.

But at least these Ministers in Mr. Chouhan's cabinet are Graduates as compared to the mockery of Democracy made by Congress in Rajasthan which chose an illiterate Gomla Devi, who couldn't even read her oath, over someone more educated because of its divisive caste and dynasty politics. Being Graduates, hopefully they will know what they are signing before they sign it. And being Lawyers, oh they will know to read it first as compared to illiterates in Congress who can't even read a simple oath.
