Narendra Modi speech in Muslim dominated area

Spread The Word











In the following video, Gujarat and Bharat's best Chief Minister Mr. Narendra Modi charged the Congress, BSP and SP with treating Muslims as a mere vote bank and doing little for their welfare in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh (UP). Narendra Modi today asked the minority community to shun these parties and support the BJP’s “politics of development” which was visible in Gujarat.



Modi asks Muslims to choose development over vote bank politics
“Madam Sonia, SP and BSP only indulge in vote bank politics. BJP is the only political party in the country which believes in politics of development,” the Gujarat Chief Minister said at an election rally here.

“What has the politics of vote bank given us in the past 60 years. People still do not have water to drink, no roofs over their head and no proper education for children,” he added. The BJP star campaigner said “one family” had ruled the country on the basis of vote bank politics but gave nothing to Muslims in return.

The only way to get rid of this politics was to support the “politics of development as was currently visible in Gujarat.”Despite the gloomy picture presented about Muslims in Gujarat, the Muslims of Gujarat have the maximum per capita income in the country,” he claimed.

Continuing his tirade against Manmohan Singh, Modi said that the Prime Minister feels bad when he is termed as “weak” but he should have taken a “bold” initiative against Pakistan “which only understood the language of force” and proved otherwise.

“The issue is not his health but his style of functioning. One of his union ministers Ram Vilas Paswan had been demanding voting rights for Bangladeshi infiltrators. If he (Manmohan Singh) was strong then he should have removed him immediately,” Modi said.

The BJP leader said that the local Muslim population in Assam was worried about the influx of Bangladeshis as they (infiltrators) took over all the employment opportunities of locals. Attacking the UPA government on the Sachar Committee report, Modi alleged that the ruling alliance was trying to “exploit Muslim sentiments without taking concrete steps on development issues”.

Criticising Singh’s remark that minorities had the first right on national resources, Modi said, “Congress believes Muslims have the first right on national resources but we believe that the poor belonging to any religion have the first right on it. If you believe me vote for us. If you don’t defeat my party.”

Armed forces can vote for first time

Spread The Word











Armed forces ask their personnel to exercise the right to vote
For the first time, the armed forces have asked their personnel to exercise their fundamental right to vote in the areas of their posting during the general elections slated for March-April.

In an unprecedented move all the personnel of the army, the navy and the air force have been asked to get themselves registered with the Election Commission office in their area of posting and exercise their right to vote.

"All of us have been asked to get ourselves registered wherever we are posted and exercise our franchise. Voter registration forms and other certificates required are being circulated among all units and departments," a senior naval official told IANS requesting anonymity.

A majority of Indian defence personnel have never voted during their service tenure for want of an effective mechanism. However, there is a provision for the armed forces personnel to vote in their areas of posting only during the general elections, provided they are registered with the Election Commission.

India's armed forces comprise a 1.1-million strong army, around 140,000-strong air force and nearly 60,000-strong navy and they can be a sizeable vote bank especially in cantonment areas.

"The main reason behind this proactive participation of the armed forces in the electoral process seems to be the armed forces being shortchanged in the Pay Commission and their lack of a say in the decision making process," said a high-ranking army official, wishing not to be identified.

Though there is a postal ballot and proxy voting system, most personnel are not aware of it.


Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal Fali H. Major confessed to IANS in a candid interview: "Though there is the proxy voting system and the postal ballot system, things have not materialised as desired."

The IAF chief has himself not been able to vote for the last 10 years because, like most people in the armed forces, he has not been home during election time. "The last I voted was 10 years ago when I was home on vacation. I have voted only four times (in his 41 years of service)," Major told IANS.

kkkangress success story: once-proud army almost wiped out by Nizal Yoddha

Finally it looks like that the Bharatiya Armed Forces will be able vote in up coming General Elections. Bad news for the Congress led UPA Government which short changed the most revered body of Bharat's democracy by giving it peanuts through its biased pay commission, demoralizing it by falsely accusing its high rankers like Colonel Purohit with mythical terror charges, dividing the most secular branch of Bharat with communal Muslim only head count, with all time low recruitment in 5 years, with all time high attrition rate, with dismal pay packages, etc. etc.

Its time for 1.1-million strong army, around 140,000-strong air force and nearly 60,000-strong navy to take some revenge from these callous politicians by exercising their franchise to vote. And I so hope they do. Jai Hind!
