BJP's loss in bypolls !! Y 1 cannot blame the Modi factor or Yogi Adityanath and BJP's stand on Love Jihad !!

Just as I had expected , BJP faces loss in Vidhan Sabha by-elections across the country !! But there's no reason to blame Modi or Modi wave for it or even BJP's stance on Love-Jihad in it !! like some idiot media journalists are doing !! Here r the reasons why I had expected it and Y we cant blame it on Modi :
1) By-Elections do not have the crucial element of ' Government Formation ' like the main elections have !! They usually have no impact on government formation , and thus , the number of people coming out to vote is less than the main elections !! And it is an unwritten rule of Indian elections that BJP always wins when the voting percentage is high , and faces damage to the extent of losing the elections !!
Take for instance Mumbai had a voting percentage of 41% in 2009 and congress-ncp won !! In 2014 , it was 53 % and BJP-ShivSena won all seats !!
2)Many are blaming BJP taking a "stand" against Love Jihad for its debacle in UP !! Which is again false !! Uttar Pradesh has 4 way politics , that is , there are 4 major political parties !! BJP,BSP,SP and Congress !! Now , BSP , which won 0 seats in Lok Sabha Elections , decided not to contest any of the bypolls in UP !! Thus , UP polls became a 3 way fight !! 2 important voters of BSP , dalits n muslims , went to congress n sp respectively !! This ,combined with the factor that the voter turnout was low compared to LS ,helped them gain in UP , just like Lalu-Nitish alliance helped them gain against BJP in Bihar !!
3) as I already said , by-elections do not involve the crucial element of government formation n thus , these elections entirely depend upon local factors !! thus , there is no question of Modi factor playing a role here as Modi is not gonna form any government !!
4) as BJP was holding 26 out of 33 Vidhan Sabha seats that went for by-elections , it was difficult to retain 26 seats !! A seat won in the main election will always be difficult to retain for BJP in by polls !! Take for example , even in Vadodara LS seat , where BJP had won with a margin of 5,70,000 in May , it won with a margin of only 3,28,000 !! bekoz many people who voted in May to form Modi government didnt cum out to vote this time !!
As for the BJP , these results only and only mean that the party cannot afford to relax , as the old enemies like Lalu-Nitish , SP-BSP and in future maybe even Trinamool-CPM may unite and play games like the BSP played this time !! It doesnt mean that Modi-Wave has vanished or punctured !! However , there should not be any over-dependance on Modi Factor !!
Its surprising that how some paid media journalists , are deliberately misguiding people with all their nonsense analysis !! If an ordinary person like me can understand this ,so can they !! Their " Analysis " says that Modi wave is getting punctured n god knows wat !! These people had hailed Rahul Gandhi's leadership when congress had won 2009 elections !!! However , I wonder , y didnt they save the same thing on rahul gandhi ,which they r saying about Modi now , when congress lost 2014 elections so badly !! Within 100 days of takeover of Amit Shah as BJP chief , they are expecting BJP to sweep each and every election !! Any single loss wud mean that " Modi Wave is diminishing " !! These same media " experts " have never ever blamed any debacle of congress on sonia and rahul gandhi !!
The media " experts " say , BJP is nothing without Modi !!

But then , which party is ever powerful without its most popular leader ?? What is SP without Mulayam and family ?? What is BSP without Mayawati ?? What is congress without Gandhi family ?? infact , it was Indian National Congress that played a role in Independence movement !! When Indira Gandhi quit that party in 1969 and formed her own party Congress [R] which later came to b known as Congress [I] , and fought 1971 elections , she defeated the original Congress party , and her party became the present congress !! So When the party which helped bring independence itself lost elections when its most popular leader Indira quit , how does one single out and expect BJP as a party to be more powerful and popular than its most powerful n popular leaders ???? While BJP has atleast produced a wide range of popular leaders , most other parties have only produced popular families !! So how come only single out BJP ??
While its ironic how even many BJP supporters , fall for paid media shit despite knowing that they r paid , I wonder wat these media spokesperson will say about " Modi Wave " if we win Maharashtra and Haryana assemble elections ,which we have huge chances of winning !!

Kahaan Mana Hai ? - Independence Day Special

Maana Bharat langda raha , par Jaipur-foot banna kahaan mana hai !
Mahapuroshon Bhagwano se seechit , aisa mahaan itihaas kahaan bana hai !!

Aao thoda samay nikaale , beete waqt kaa daura karein ,
Jab jhukaaya hamne toofano ko ,un prayaason pe gaur karein !
Jab loota Angrezon ne aise ,khaaye lakde ko dimak jaise ,
Kuch feke tookdon ko chodkar , jaate vilayat saare paise !
Par sehke laathiyon ka vaar , khaayi hamne goliyon ki maar ,
Vyaktigat Sukhon Ko Tyag , lagaayi Azaadi ki naiyya paar !
Kaale Pani ki raaton ke saamne , aaj kaa andhera kahaan ghana hai ,
Maana Bharat langda raha , par Jaipur-foot banna kahaan mana hai !

Sultano ka , Mughalon kaa , shaasan hi kuch aur tha ,
cheen gayi dharm ki azaadi , kattarpanti kaa daur tha !
Vasoola jaata Jaziya maano Hindu hona hi guna tha ,
Iss Anyaay ke ant hetu , honi ne Shivaji ko chuna tha !
Ikkatha kiya Mavalon ko , li Shapath lenge Swaraj ,
Krishna Neeti Aur Bhagirath Prayatno se , feka kroor shasakon kaa taaj !
Shivaji banna mushkil lage toh Maval banna kahaan mana hai ,
Maana Bharat langda raha , par Jaipur-foot banna kahaan mana hai !

Aise anginat udaharon se , bhara jiska itihaas hai ,
Woh hai Bharat Desh , jiski bhoomi hi kuch khaas hai !
Aisi sabhyata ke waaris hokar , hataash ham kaise ho sakte ,
Apne atith se vanchit rehkar , neend mein kaise so sakte !
Jis vyakti ke dimaak mein , Krishna Neeti ko jagah hai ,
Uske prayaason ko kabhi , kismat ne kahaan thaga hai !
Apne jeevankaal se aagey ka , vichaar karna kahaan mana hai ,
Maana Bharat langda raha , par Jaipur-foot banna kahaan mana hai !

Chunaavon ka ballot box , Kurukshetra ka naya vesh hai ,
Imaandaar Arjuno kaa prachaar hi dharm ka aaj sandesh hai !
Jab koi Duryodhan aaj , atyachaar ke ghaav deta hai ,
Aapas mein hi ladvaake , shanti kaa abhaav karta hai ,
Aise rakt risaav ke khilaaf , matdaan hi raktdaan hai !
Isiliye toh kehte hai , Loktantra shreshtha mahaan hai !
Mushkil thi talvaaron se kranti par matdaan karna kahaan mana hai ,
Maana Bharat Langda Raha Par Jaipur-foot banna kahaan mana hai !

The pseudo-secular siege of Kashmir !!

Hindus stopped from attending a pilgrimage in their own Country , by an "Indian" CM !!!
The Kousar Nag Yatra , which Hindu pilgrims go for in d state of Jammu and Kashmir , has been banned by the CM of J & K Omar Abdullah !!
This , under the pretext that too many yatras cause "harm" to "ecology" of Kashmir but the real reason is the separatists of Kashmir wont want it n wud create "problems" if the Yatra is continued !!
So rather than leading the fight against separatists , d CM Omar , who has full security , bows down before them , n allows them to dictate terms !!

Wonder Y there is no "harm to Ecology" when Kashmiri separatists like Gilani freely give hate speeches in Kashmir n dictate terms by frequently calling for "bandhs" ?? Y there is no "harm to Ecology" when flags supporting terrorist organization ISIS are openly waved in Srinagar ?? Y there is no "harm to Ecology" when stones r pelted at Kashmir Police ,CRPF or Indian army by people indoctrinated by pro-pakistan Kashmiri separatists ??
Jammu and Kashmir is a state where Hindus are in minority , and this is the treatment given to them by the separatists n J & K government alike !!
The CM has all available resources to arrange for all d requirements of yatra , including security !! The center is always ready to assist with help from paramilitary n military forces !! But No ,Vidhan Sabha Elections in Jammu and Kashmir are coming , and for the sake of a few 1000 muslim votes , he has purposely banned Hindus from attending a pilgrimage !!
Similar step-brotherly treatment ,if not ban , has been given to pilgrims attending Amarnath Yatra !!! It's one of the most popular pilgrimaged of India , and yet , there is a dearth of proper facilities required for the huge pilgrim influx !! There r still no proper roads , much of the route is still 'kutcha road' !! Every year , there r cases of pilgrims falling into valleys en-route to Amarnath but nothing is done !
Surprisingly , Indian mainstream media , which creates a berserk ruckus n shouting at times , always remains silent whenever Hindus r the target !!
When a Shiv Sena MP tried feeding a waiter third-class food over an argument without knowing that he was a muslim , n later regreted on knowing when he was a muslim , some mainstream media channels like Times Now tried to make it a ' Hindu-Muslim ' issue which it was nowhere close to , they said that a ' Muslim has been targetted in Ramzan by a communal Shiv Sena' !! Big platant lies !
But when a chief minister of a state , I repeat " CHIEF MINISTER " , bows down before Jihadis n separatists , none of the mainstream media has criticized him , or said that " Hindus have been targetted during Shravan " !!
Also , a few days ago , AMARNATH YATRA PILGRIMS WERE ATTACKED BY TERRORISTS WHO BURNT DOWN PILGRIM'S TENTS AND KITCHENS !!! But surprisingly , this did not make it to the news for most media channels and newspapers !!
The stupid 9 PM debates on most news channels probably have "rules" of distoring stories and over playing an incident when the victim's religion is islam but underplaying the incidents when the victims r Hindus or SIkhs or non-muslims !! WHAT A HYPOCRISY !!!
This combined hypocrisy of pseudo-secular politicians n paidmedia has to be stopped !! Else be prepared to let go of ur festivals n culture in future when these things happen in ur state !!! Jai Hind ! Jai Shri Ram ! Jai Shri Krishna !!

Rail Fare Hike !! Was It Necessary ?? Is d Narendra Modi Govt wrong in doing it ? N y did BJP oppose it when in opposition ?

Rail Fare Hike - My Take On Was it Necessary ??
Was The Narendra Modi government wrong in doing it ?? N wat's d difference wen BJP opposed Rail-Fare hike wen it was in opposition n is BJP at fault now by increasing wen it is in power ??
Lets start with sum statistics first !!
As we know , the railways comprises of Passenger and Freight [Goods] sector
It has been the usual trend that Passenger Sector is always at loss n freight sector is at profit !! ANd the profits of freight sector do not match up with the losses of Passenger Sector thus always resulting in an overall net loss for Railways !!!
In 2001 , the loss in passenger sector was 4,500 crores
In 2004 , wen UPA govt's tenure started n Lalu took over as Railways minister, the loss in passenger sector was 8,000 crores !!
In such circumstances , Lalu started several loss making concepts like Garib Rath trains , Sampark Kranti trains etc .
Thus , by the end of Lalu's tenure in May 2009 , wen UPA 1 ended n UPA 2 took over , the loss in passenger sector had increased to rupees 13,000 crores , a rise of rupees 5,000 crores during Lalu's regime !!
Then came , Mamta Banerjee's 3 years from 2009-2012 !! She was d worst railway minister n during her tenure , d loss in passenger sector rose to around rupees 20,000-22,000 crore rupees !!
And then finally came 2 years of congress under pawan bansal n mallikarjun kharge , during which the loss in passenger sector rose to a whopping rupees 25-000 to 26-000 crore rupees !!!
The profit in freight sector during this was rupees 18,000 crores !! Thus , resulting in a net loss of rupees 8,000 crores to Indian railways !!
To understand y these losses r happening , one needs to understand the policies with which Railways have been run by the country by successive congress governments - which have resulted in miserable state of railways today !!
One important feature of UPA tenure was that passenger fares were increased only once in ten years by UPA govt !! All to fool people that it's a pro-people government !! Because during the same time , the rates for freight were increased almost EVERY YEAR !!!
Now , the point is that increase in rates of freight also effects the common man !! Infact , continous increase in freight rates effects the common man more adversely than a balanced increased of both passenger n freight rates !!!
For example , coal is carried by freight trains , increase in freight rates results in increase of coal transportation charges resulting in costlier electricity !! SImilarly prices of foodgrains increase wen there is a continous increase in freight rates n so on !!
Thus ,the continous increase in freight prices while not increasing passenger fares was far more disastrous by UPA govt than wat wud a balance increase in both freight n passenger fares wud have been !!
Now consider the state of railway projects !!
Just like many infrastructure projects , many railway projects suffer from improper planning n execution , more increasingly under UPA rule !! Improper planning leads to huge delays n increase in project costs !! Also , several railway projects have are purposely held up by Environment ministry in d name of environment and also by a slow, lazy n indifferent bureaucracy !! There r several examples of delayed projects !! This causes a huge drain on the railways resources n results in improper services by railways !!
Now consider ,the condition of railway staffs !! During Hampi express accident in 2012 , there was an article that the required no. of motormen [train drivers] in d country was 82,000 at dat time , but the no. of motormen was only 60,000 at dat time , a whopping shortage of 22,000 ! Also , out of these 60,000 , 5,000 were medically unfit at that time !! so , in effect , 60,000 motormen were working overtime to do the work of 82,000 motormen !! Overtime results in lack of sleep n a tired body !! When even driving a car without proper sleep can be dangerous , one can imagine how many lives r put at risk by allowing underslept motormen to drive trains !!
Similarly , there is a huge shortage of guards , engineers , cleaning workers n all other staff !! The number of trains were increased every year , but the issue of staff shortage was never properly addressed by the UPA govt !!
Now , its not that not recruiting the required staff saves the railways some money , rather , d existing staff have to be paid overtime which means that no money is saved !!
On the contrary , this staff shortage results in a huge compromise in the services of railways !! It compromises passenger safety !! Also , t results in more time in delivery of goods by freight , causing loss of railways' business to Road Transport Companies ! Also , in a country facing unemployment , such non-recruitment of staff is criminal !!
These policies of total mismanagement of railways continued under ten years of UPA govt !! It was against this background , that upa increased the fares in 2012 !! After 8 years of it's rule , it had not improved the services of railways , had not addressed staff shortage , had not addressed maintenance issues , or even that of cleanliness !! But just increased fares !! And This was the very thing that BJP opposed at that time !! Because just increasing fares without increasing issues is not done !!
And now , when BJP has come in power , it has inherited railways in such a terrible state !! A net loss of 8,000 crores per year means a loss of around rupees 22 crores per day !! Which is unsustainable if the railways has to redeem itself n recover from this mess !! Similar is the state of many public companies which has drained the country of its treasury !!
So to make the railways n ultimately the Country's finances healthy again , it was inevitable that Railway Fares be hiked !! But one thing that we can be assured of is , that there wud be sum improvement in services as well as several held up railway projects have been cleared by the new Government !!
" Acche Din " will cum , but it takes time to take the country out of such mess ! Modi had never promised that they wud cum immediately ! we wud have to wait atleast for a few months for it !! As Modi govt has said , 2 years recovery from UPA mess n then 3 years of growth !!!

Mehengai Aur KalaBaazari Ne, Kamar Todi Ab Poori Hai !
  15 August Ka Din Kehta , Azaadi Abhi Adhoori Hai !

Kabhi Naxali Hamla Karke, Jangalon Se Aatank Machate Hai ,

Tab Babri-Masjid Pe Ronewala Neta , Uspar Kyun Nahi Rota Hai ?

Par Vartman Sthitiyon Se Ab , Hataash Nahi Hona Hai !
Sahi Disha Mein Dhaklenge Desh , Housla Nahi Ab Khona Hai !
Hataash Hone Waale Yaad Rakh , Azaadi Adhoori Hai ,Khali Nahi !
Maan Kar Haar Humein Deni , Swatantrata Senaniyon Ko Gaali Nahi !
Paaya Bahut Azaad Bharat Ne , Kuch Kamiyaan Beshak Reh Gayi !
Rashtrabhakt Netaon Ki Kuch Karniyaan , Deshdrohiyon Ke Haathon Beshak Beh Gayi !
Par Drid Nishchay Aur Karma Ki Taakat , Koi Shakti Tod Nahi Sakti ,
Karma Karne Se Sone-Ki-Chidiya Ko, Bharat Aane Se Mod Nahi Sakti !
Aao Milke Shapath Le, Is Ghayal Bharat Ko Punaah Buland Karenge !
Sardar Patel, Shastri, Jayaprakash, Vajpayee, Modi Sa Netrutva Karenge !
Tab Jaake Maanega Dil Ab Azaadi Puri Hai ,
Lekin Tab Tak , 15 August Yaad Dilayega ,
Azaadi Abhi Adhoori Hai !!

Happy Independence Day !!

Ek Shaheed Ki Chitthi !!

Ek Sipahi Jo Yuva Kaal Mein Shaheed Ho Gaya,
Rashtra Hit Mein Apne Lahu Ki Nadiyaan Baha Gaya,
Tirange Mein Lipti Laash Uski Gharpe Pahuch Gayi,
Shok Mein Dooba Gaav,Udaasi Cha Gayi,
Khoon Se LathPath Khat Jo Uski Maa Ko Mil Gaya,
Shahadat Se Pehle Beta Maa Ko Likh Gaya,
Samarpan Ko Ab Aasuon Mein Dhona Nahi Hai,
Samarpan Ko Ab Aasuon Mein Dhona Nahi Hai,
Laash Ko Dekh Meri, Ab Rona Nahi Hai !!

Har Roz Is Sarhad Par, Mujhe Ghar Ki Yaad Aati,
Bachpan Ki Shanti Piche Chod, Jang Ki Aag Ab Satati !
Yahan Maa Tere Aangan Sa Sukoon Nahi Hai,
Par Duniya Mein Jang Ka, Aisa Kahin Junoon Nahi Hai !
Yeh Ladaai Hai Siddhanton Ki, Yeh Ladaai hai Dharma Ki,
Sataaye Jo Duniya Ko, Sarvanaash Ke Us Adharma Ki !
Jang Sa Duniya Mein Kuch Bhi Ghinona Nahi Hai,
Laash Ko Dekh Meri, Ab Rona Nahi Hai !!

Teri Hi Tarah Maa, Meri Ek Maa Aur Bhi Thi,
Uske Prati Bhi Meri, Kuch Zimmedaariyaan Aur Bhi Thi !
Zimmedaarioyon Ke Pahaadon Par, Mein Chadta Chala Gaya,
Rashtra-Hit Ka Har Kaarya, Mein Karta Chala Gaya !
Par Pahadon Ki Choti Se Maa, Parivaar Piche Chhoot Gaya,
Vyaktigat Sukhon Se Mera, Har Woh Naata Toot Gaya !
Sab Kuch Nichaavar Kar Diya, Ab Kuch Bhi Khona Nahi Hai,
Laash Ko Dekh Meri, Ab Rona Nahi Hai !!

Socha Tha Tune, Apne Liye Bahu Laayegi,
Haath Mein Liye Pote Ko, Sneh Se Uske Gaal Sehlaayegi !
Sapne Mein Shehnai Bajayi, Tasveer Meri Grihasti Ki Banayi,
Sajayi Ghodi Haathon Se, Banayi Mithaai Haathon Se !
Par Naa Kabhi Shehnai Baji, Naa Ghodi Mein Chada !
Kabhi Toh Chadunga Ghodi Sochkar Sarhad Par Mein Khada !
Par Bin Ghodi Chade Maa Tera Laal So Gaya,
Socha Tha Tune Kya, Aur Kuch Aur Hi Ho Gaya !
Tutlaati Boli Pote Ki Tu Sun Na Saki Maa !
Apne Haathon Apni Kaliyaan Chhu Naa Saki Maa !
Pote-Poti Sa Zindagi Mein Tere Khilona Nahi Hai,
Laash Ko Dekh Meri, Ab Rona Nahi Hai !!

Pitaji Ka Seena, Ab Garv Se Chouda Hoga,
Par Budhape Ki Adhoori Icchhaen Liye, Man Unka Douda Hoga !
Paala Bade Chaav Se, Kisi Cheez Ki Kami Naa Ki,
Par Sivaai Tanhaayi Budhape Ki, Maine Koi Cheez Naa Di !
Yatra Par ChaarDhaam Ki, Unhe Saath Le Naa Saka,
Kamzor Padte Kandhon Ko, Sahara Mein De Naa Saka !
Arthi Ka Boj Bete Ki, Sahan Hona Nahi Hai !
Laash Ko Dekh Meri, Ab Rona Nahi Hai !!

Sochte Hai Kuch Log, Shahadat Pe Siyasat Khelenge,
Ghariyaalo Aasu Baha Kar, Chan Laakh Fek Shahadat Khareedenge !
Par Keh Dena Inse Maa, Shahadat Aisi Bikaau Nahi,
Kaale Dhan Se Prapt Ho, Shahadat Aisa Laabh Nahi !
Bete Ke Balidaan Se, Himmat Tu Rakhna Maa,
Bete Ke Balidaan Ki, Koi Kimmat Na Lena Maa !
Makmal Ke Bistar Pe,Ab Sona Nahi Hai,
Laash Ko Dekh Meri, Ab Rona Nahi Hai !!

Why India needs MODIfication aka Narendra Modi as PM !!

    India has seen 15 Lok Sabhas ,or ,in other words , has witnessed 15 General elections post independence ! It is an achievement for a country where the future of democracy has always been questioned from time to time by intellectuals and scholars all over the world right from the time our founding fathers enforced the constitution !!
   For the first 3 decades post-independence ,India was practically a one party democracy . There were some opposition parties ,namely The Bharatiya Jana Sangha ,Swatantra Party ,Socialist Party ,the communists ,but none had the power to challenge the dominance of the Congress at the center . Most of these parties gained 20-40 seats in the Parliament ,while Congress always got a comfortable majority .
   But this scenario changed drastically in 1977,when post-emergency ,the opposition parties united under one banner -Janata party , thanks to the efforts of Jayaprakash Narayan and other leaders of that time .
Janata won a majority ,but not on any ideological basis ,but only due to the unpopularity and excesses of the emergency rule !! The Emergency had totally belittled and undermined the status of all governmental and non-governmental organizations . The President , State Governors , Media , Police and whatever possible was made puppets to the then Prime Minister -Indira Gandhi ! Dictatorship without accountability had been imposed on a Nation which had embraced Elections .
   Before 1977,General Elections were mostly limited to local issues , as it was impossible to defeat the congress . But in 1977 ,everything changed . People understood the true power of democracy when they punished the Congress for Emergency Rule !

   India ,in 2013, after 9 years of UPA rule ,faces a situation similar to the one during emergency from 1975-1977. At that time ,PM Indira imposed Emergency on the Nation as otherwise she would have been forced to vacate her seat as she was convicted for electoral malpractises by Allahabad High Court , while today her daughter-in-law Sonia has imposed a robotic PM Manmohan Singh on the Nation as she herself cannot sit on the chair due to citizenship issues !! At that time ,media had been subdued by the use of force,while today many ,if not all National media channels and newspapers have been purchased with money power .The journalists werent able to criticize the government then , while today their spinelessness prevents them from doing so ! There was massive corruption during emergency , there is massive corruption now as well . The then president Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed were obedient to Indira Gandhi , while today's president Pranab Mukherjee and Pm Manmohan Singh are obedient to Sonia Gandhi !! The only major differences are the presence of an unstoppable social media and the rise in economic fortunes of millions of Indians between emergency and now !! Another difference is that while Emergency was the sole issue in 1977,price-rise,corruption n pseudo-secularism and terrorism r the core issues now !!

   Thus ,in terms of cruciality, the General Elections of 2014 will be next ,only to those of 1977 ,1996 and 1998 ! In 2014 , as in 1977 , on one side lays dictatorship by a corrupt party leading to destruction , while on the other side lays democracy by a nationalist party with a promising future !! Anyone debating BJP's Nationalism can compare 6 years of Atal Bihari Vajpayee rule with 6 years of any congress government . Vajpayee rule will always emerge better !
   The BJP today ,as did the Janata leaders of 1977 , faces the crucial question as to who should be the Prime Minister and bring the country out of the mess it has been put in by Congress . Janata chose Morarji Desai , who had proved himself to be an outstanding administrator during his tenure as CM of the then Bombay State . And now , BJP seems to be settling down on Gujarat CM Narendra Modi , whose development works in Gujarat have been appreciated and acknowledged by UN as well as several countries of the World .

   Now,the question arises ,why would one rate Narendra Modi as the most qualified leader to lead the country facing a crucial point in its history ?? To this , we move to a direct comparison between decades of Congress rule in Center as well as Gujarat with Atal ji's 6 years at center and Modi's 12 years in Gujarat ,regarding their handling of various issues India has faced .

   1) Economic Issues,Development and Corruption :

   Congress ,under Nehru atleast ,handled the Indian Economy well. The policies of those days were keeping up with the time .A newly Independent country could seldom allow FDI,privatisation or even liberalisation ,as it would lead to exploitation of the country in the absence of a powerful and experienced government . The 5 year plans which were successfull in those times led to new dreams and new hopes . Lal Bahadur Shastri , in his short tenure ,ushered in the Green Revolution > The problems started when Lal Bahadur Shastri died an early death and Indira took over as PM. She was dictatorial in nature and could seldom tolerate any opposition .Thus in 1969,she split the Congress and formed her own Congress .which was known as Congress [R] and later as Congress [I] .In the old Congress , every appointment from the Provincial head to the PM candidate to the Congress president were decided on the basis of internal elections and thus the party was democratic .While ,in the new Congress ,only the loyalists of Indira and her son Sanjay got the posts of significance .Opposition to the Gandhi family meant outster from the party .Thus , with the weakness of the judiciary and excessive powers bestowed by the Emergency on her ,Indira got all the freedom to do corruption and make money as and well she liked and thus under her rule , corruption in India spread to grassroot levels .Its a legacy that has been continued by post Indira Congressi PMs Rajiv, PVNR and Manmohan , with each outsmarting the previous one.Magnitude and impact of scams kept on increasing with each year under Congress rule ! Congress [I] rulers always wanted more and more power in their hands so that they could do more and more corruption .2 facts are a proof of this -
1) Liberalisation ,Privatisation and Globalisation which could have been introduced in late 1960s or early 1970s was only introduced in 1991 when there was nothing else left to save the economy .
2) Even after 65 years of Independence, India is still not considered a business friendly Country , as starting a new business is always difficult here as one has to bribe lots of government officials and even ministers at times .

   In contrast, most BJP leaders , if not all ,are not power-hungry . Advani built the road for Vajpayee to become PM , while Modi did that in Gujarat for Keshubhai Patel to become CM .The BJP is , and will remain ,atleast for the foreseeable future,a cadre-based democratic party where there are internal elections . A Democratic Country should only be led by a Democratic Party. BJP has always framed economic policies keeping up with the time . Vajpayee as PM provided road connectivity to approximately 1,82,000 villages . While Modi as Gujarat CM provided 24 x 7 electricity to all the 18,000 villages of Gujarat . At the same time ,heavy industrialisation also took place with Gujarat becoming a hub for Automobile ,Cements ,petrochemicals and several other industries . Thus Vajpayee and Modi ,could strike a balance between Western style heavy Industrialization and Gandhian economics which focused on Rural Development .

   Talking about Agriculture ,India's agriculture growth rate has always been in the range of 1-4 percent in decades of Congress rule. Whereas Gujarat under Modi's reign has achieved double digit agricultural growth !! What could be the reasons for this ?? The most significant factor for Agricultural Development is Irrigation . Under Congress rule , corruption prevents growth of irrigation ,slowing its growth rate . For eg , in Maharashtra , after spending thousands of crores in Irrigation projects , the area under Irrigation didnt see any significant increase because of massive corruption.This is the scenario despite Maharashtra having Deccan's only perennial river-Godavari. In Assam , The Brahmaputra devastates the state every year with its flooding waters , which could be used for irrigating entire Northeast India with a proper canal system , but it never happened in decades of Congress rule .
   Contradictorily , Gujarat ,which has only one Major river , Narmada , of which only a small portion flows through the state , has managed to utilise its waters with the Sardar Sarovar Project building dams across the river . Canals have been drawn from the Narmada to several places in Gujarat , providing water for drinking , agriculture as well as industries . Also solar power plants atop the canals prevent water from evaporation ,at the same time generating power from renewable sources . Imagine , if such power plants are built on top of some more major rivers and canals , how much more power could be generated and power shortages reduced across the country !!
   In Gujarat ,every year , a month long agriculture festival is held across the state - called the Krishi Mahotsav ,when government officials and scientists directly meet farmers from villages and teach them about new agricultural techniques ,thus modernizing agriculture . If emulated at an all India level , this would work wonders for the country . The trust deficit between farmers and government would reduce in this way !!

   Gujarat ,under Modi ,doesnt neglect its environment. It is the number one state in the country in terms of generation of power from renewable sources . There is a huge solar power park in Patan district , and several solar power plants atop the Narmada canal .Even Wind Power and Tidal power have been harnessed . the Van-Mahotsav , again a festival , deals with all forest related and tribals related issues of the state . On the contrary , Congress seldom cares for the environment . The Bhopal Gas Tragedy was a result of corruption and ignorance of previous warnings by Congress government. Forest Lands all over the country are being encroached by land and mining mafia . Wildlife poaching is a reality . Congress failed to protect even the National animal - Tiger,while ,in Gujarat ,the Asiatic Lion finds a safe home in Gir forests and its population has increased .
   In 21st century , could India afford to ignore environmental concerns for sake of unsustainable development ?? the answer is a big NO !!

   Congress never bothered to develop India as a tourist destination ,despite India having a huge potential. It was only after Vajpayee government started the ' Incredible India ' campaign did tourism receive a boost . Gujarat tourism under Modi has registered 30 % more tourist arrivals this year . Gujaratis were the best tourists but Gujarat was never a tourist destination despite having many attractions . But under Modi , it became one !!
   Under Congress regime , inflation has been double digit whereas Vajpayee brought it between 2-3 % during his rule !! With credits to Finance Ministers Yashwant Sinha and Jaswant Singh as well 
   Thus , Modi became the king of development and can do the same for India .

   2) National Security,Communal Tensions and Terrorism :

   Being a multi-religious Country,India has always been a hotbed of Communal Politics - propagated by Congress and so called ' secular ' parties . It all started when Nehru government adopted a non uniform civil code - different laws for Hindus and Muslims , and started Haj subsidy . Indira continued this pseudo-secularism or minority appeasement politics by allowing Bangladeshi refugees to settle in India even after the 1971 war . Rajiv Gandhi has the Shah-Bano case and Sikh Massacre to his credits while PV Narasimha Rao failed to quell Kashmir terrorism in its formative years when it easily could have been tackled .
There are several more examples of pseudo-secularism one can give !! to write in detail about the subject , perhaps a book would be required.
   In UPA regime , pseudo-secularism has crossed all its limits .The tough anti-terrorism law POTA brought by BJP to counter terrorism was withdrawn by UPA government in 2004 under the false pretext of it being anti-minority. Arrested terrorists like Kasab and Afzal are given 5 star treatment , while Hindus falsely accused of terrorism rot in medieval jails even without a proper chargesheet. Afzal Guru's who was supposed to be hanged in October 2006 was kept alive till 2013 just to appease muslims !!
   In contrast ,BJP government with Advani as Home Minister never politicised terrorism . Laws like POTA were brought to supplement the tireless efforts of policemen and security agencies .Under POTA , it became far more easier to punish a terrorist ! Under Advani's reign as HM , more than 300 LeT terrorist cells were busted throughout the country while they are flourishing all over India under UPA rule . During BJP rule at center ,only Mumbai , Delhi ,Kashmir and Northeast were targeted but now as evident from Bodhgaya blasts no town in India seems safe from terrorism !!
   In today;s time , only Modi can continue this legacy of Advani !! He has already proved this by tacking strict action against perpetrators of Ahmedabad blasts of 2008 .

   Now coming to communal violence , vast majority of the major communal riots in India have taken place under Congress regime . Eg : Bhagalpur riots of 1989 ,Mumbai riots of 1992-1993 ,Sikh massacre of 1984 , Meerut riots of 1981 , Ahmedabad riots of 1969 and many , many more !! The reason for this is , due to vote-bank politics ,Congress never took strict action against the perpetrators of those riots . 
   Gujarat had a long history of communal violence before Modi . The state had witnessed large scale rioting in 1969,1981,1985,1992 etc . Not to talk about several more  small riots . Any stupid reason could spark a riot there . many more Hindus and Muslims were killed in these riots than those on 2002 . When the Godhra train burning took place in 2002 , it was perhaps , the biggest trigger a communal riot can ever have . For burning 59 Hindus in a train was not going to go unpunished . But on the first day itself , Modi cancelled the leaves of all policemen and ordered them to stop the riots , even the army was called without delay - this , being in sharp contrast to Delhi 1984 when , under congress rule , not even a single policeman or soldier was visible on the streets giving a free run to the rioters . Modi in his office was busy receiving phone calls from desperate people of all communities seeking life-saving help from barbarous mobs , and he attended to these calls with swift action . Consider a single example ,400 people were trapped in a Bhavnagar madarassa , obviously muslims . they were surrounded by a huge mob . 1 of the persons inside knew Advani personally , called him , who in turn called Modi , and both Advani and Modi ensured their safety .
   One may then wonder , what caused the death toll to cross 1,000 in 2002 ??
1) No action had been taken by previous congress governments against the perpetrators of previous riots ,thus giving impression that one can riot without fear of law .
2) Godhra train burning being the biggest trigger a riot can possibly get .
3) Involvement of Congressmen in Godhra train burning as well as post Godhra riots .
4) 24 x 7 coverage by a shameless and unethical media , who never bothered about the consequences of their telecast.
   Modi's leadership assured , that no big incident takes place after first three days . After 2002 riots , Gujarat became a riot free state , all thanks to Modi . By stopping riots completely , didnt Modi save the lives of Hundreds of Muslims as well as Hindus who would have been otherewise butchered in riots ??

3) Disaster Management :

   Disaster Mangement of Congress governments has been worst , as is evident by the recent Uttarakhand tragedy .ISRO as well as Meteorological department had given warnings on June 14,15 and 16. They advised to stop the Char Dham Yatra and take people to safer places as threats of heavy rains and floods loomed. Everyone from the State Home Ministry to the District Magistrate was warned . But as fate would have it,Congressi Home Ministry never took the warning seriously . The result is known to all . Even after the tragedy struck , entire disaster management was done by Army , Airforce , Volunteers of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and NGOs like Baba Ramdev's Bharat Swabhimaan trust !! Government rescue teams were nowhere in sight . To the few places where they went , they didnt have food and water with them !! Now consider this - Rahul Gandhi was on a foreign Vacation when disaster struck . By some accounts ,he had gone there for a haircut , hard to believe , but no surprise when one remembers that Nehru's clothes were sent to foreign for laundry . For almost a week , Rahul Gandhi didnt return . When he did ,another disaster struck. He visited Uttarakhand on June 24, after doing some time-pass he decided to spend night there.The IAF chopper that crashed the next day of Rahul Gandhi's visit , June 25 ,killing 20 people was piloted by late Wing Commander Darryl Castelino !! He had worked in rescue operations the whole day on June 24 , returning tired to the ITBP guesthouse to rest . When Rahul decided to spend the night there , Darryl Castelino was made to vacate the guesthouse to make way for Rahul . A Wing Commander was denied rest after a whole day of tiresome duty . Thus next day , without rest , he reported to duty , as military men are taught to !! Even driving a Train can be dangerous without rest , he had to pilot a chopper , that too in treacherous weather . The result is the chopper crashed !! Now isnt Rahul Gandhi responsible for those 20 deaths ?? Does a person who lacks sensitivity even during such crisis deserve a place in Indian politics ?? wud an India lover ever do such things ?? No.  Even Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh ,visited Uttarakhand on a Plane , and the entire Air Traffic of areas where they visited were shut down to make way for their disaster tourism , adversely influencing relief operations !! How many people might have died due to delay , only God can tell ! The relief trucks which were prepared by the Congressis in Delhi were made to wait three days for Rahul Gandhi's return and then flagged off , only to end up in Haridwar and Rishikesh as they werent paid properly for diesel . On the contrary , none of the BJP leaders had any constitutional responsibility to take part in Uttarakhand disaster relief . yet , having some levels of patriotism , everyone did !! Narendra Modi and Shivraj Singh Chauhan sent their rescue teams from their states to Uttarakhand. set up camps , and were rescuing whoever they could . But mainstream media , which is paid by Congress , tried to malign Modi like they always do . First they , and not Modi - falsely claimed that Modi had resuced 15,000 people and then themselves exposed it . 
   Modi's management of Gujarat earthquake was outstanding. Houses and infrastructure were restored speedily . The state recovered from Earthquake in just 3 years . Handlinng of Gujarat Earthquake by Modi is proof that one cant bring back the dead but one can improve the lives of those alive.

   Just ask yourself one question now , if u were trapped in a natural disaster , and had only one call to make , whom would u call ?? People like Narendra Modi and Shivraj Singh Chauhan or any Congress man ???

   Now,apart from the several natural disasters the Congress failed to tackle ,lets talk about a man-made one ,The Bhopal Gas Tragedy - where thousands of people perished and thousands more die a daily death with several diseases due to prolonged exposure to Methyl Iso-Cyanate gas !! The question is , was the tragedy preventable ?? By all accounts I wud say ,yes ! When Union Carbide opened its plant in Bhopal in 1969 , the Indian government , that is ,the Central government [under Congress [I] ] ,held a 49.1 percent stake in it !! As one finds on wikipedia , several previous incidents of gas leak and plant malfunction had taken place from 1981-1984 !! In 1976, two unions had complained about pollution in the plant . Several factors which contributed to the gas leak were - using a more dangerous method for gas production , SWITCHING OFF ALL THE SECURITY SYSTEMS JUST TO SAVE SOME MONEY , storing gas in tanks beyond the limit and all . Had the previous gas leaks and incidents been taken seriously , wudnt thousands of lives have been saved ?? If one ignores all the pre-warnings to a big disaster , and then it strikes , who is responsible for it ?? Even without ownership , the government has the powers to stop any industrial plant that is hazardous to environment and life , but here the congress government itself was the owner !! In the years after Indira broke Congress in 1969 , the entire system was corrupted from top to bottom . Without bribing government officials ,ignorance of previous warnings would never have taken place . The CEO of Union Carbide ,Warren Anderson visited the disaster site within few days of the tragedy , was arrested [ for show off ] , But then ..... given bail in just 6 HOURS , ferried on a state government [Congress] plane to New Delhi , and then allowed to escape to USA ,never to return !! Rajiv Gandhi was the PM then who allowed this to happen !! Quite obviously so that his mother's government doesnt get black-faced in this !!

   Can traitors like this ever be allowed to rule India ?? The answer is a big NO !! Another reason why India needs to kick out Congress and vote BJP and Narendra Modi to power !!

4) Foreign Policy :

   India , along with Israel , has got the worst neighbourhood in the world ! We have got countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh which are terrorist havens , then we have countries like Srilanka , Nepal , Myanmar , Maldives who are mostly politically unstable . Then we have Bhutan which doesnt matter much , Afghanistan borders us in POK . Then we have the big neighbour , China !!

   Coming to China first , it was a victim of imperialism , like India , right upto 1940s . But the Chinese civil war changed everything !! The communists replaced the Kuomintangs and Mao Zedong assumed power in 1949. One of the first things which China did after regime change was invading and annexing Tibet in 1950 ! Tibet was an independent country , but China swallowed it like a predator does its prey !! To the then PM Nehru , it meant nothing . he couldnt sense that the new China was just as imperial as the British and the French . However Sardar Patel , who had more foresight and who was Home minister and Deputy Prime Minister , sensed this and wrote a long letter to Nehru regarding the matter , urging him to strengthen India 's defences and oppose Chinese annexation of Tibet . But Nehru never did . He thought China could be trusted and China could not be a threat to India ! An illusion which would prove costly 12 years later , in 1962 , when Chinese invasion brought India to near collapse . India was offered a permanent seat in the UN security council , which was well deserved , considering we were the ones who had shown the colonial world the path to freedom !! But nehru gifted it to China as a ' friendhip gesture '. Independent India's first scamster , Krishna Menon , who was involved with Jeep scam in 1948 , was made Defence Minister , despite several Congress men opposing it , just because he was nehru's friend . Tragedy was that the person didnt love India much , he liked Europe and US , but not India . He was defence minister , but did the work of foreign minister ,visiting foreign countries on the slightest pretext . He was of the opinion that since Pakistan and China were our friends now , there was no need for an Army and it should be dismantled !! Imagine , a defence minister talking of dismantling the army . He made cuts in the defence budget instead of increasing it , arms factories were converted to other things , and Nehru allowed it all , just to keep his friendhip. opposition to Menon increased to such an extent that J.B. Kripalani , who was congress president in 1947 during independence decided to leave congress and fight Menon from his North Mumbai constituency in the 1962 General Elections , to prevent him from entering parliament and thus making him quit as defence minister . But alas , he lost to him !! The result is when Chinese attacked India in 1962 , spitting on nehru's ' Hindi Chini bhai bhai slogan ' , our army was totally unprepared , it didnt have proper weapons and it didnt have proper shoes as well , the result being several Indian soldiers dying due to cold and lack of proper roads in border areas . India lost the war , but the loss wasnt inflicted by China , but by our own congress government !!
   The present UPA government continues similar policies . When the recent India-China border standoff took place with Chinese entering 19 kms into India , UPA government refused to accept it as a serious issue , dubbing it as a local issue . Chinese incursions into India have increased , but they are not being taken seriously by UPA government . On the contrary , cheap and third-class Chinese products are penetrating Indian market . When Holi comes , we have Chinese colours and related products , which are harmful to skin . When Diwali comes , we have Chinese crackers dominate the market. Chinese toys which have been found harmful for children have already entered our market . We see made in China products everywhere !! A simple threat of a ban on some of these products would bring China to its senses . For Chinese depend on us to a lot of extent economically . Without Indian Iron-ore , Chinese industries would face raw material shortage . Without Indian markets , their products wouldnt sell much . But as our Congress government has a third -class foreign policy , Chinese continue to bully us , repeatedly claiming Arunachal Pradesh !!

   Now coming to Pakistan  , Nehru gifted a portion of Kashmir to Pakistan by unnecessarily taking the dispute to United Nations !! Thus India cannot really claim victory in 1947 First Kashmir War , because Pakistan got much more than what it should have , as Indian army and Air Force were capable of throwing the invaders out !! The 1965 war was a stalemate , while the 1971 war was won by India . Bangladesh was created and Pakistan was partitioned , Good !! But Y didnt Indira Gandhi take back our own POK from Pakistan ?? Captured Territory as well as captured 90,000 soldiers of pakistan were returned to pakistan by the Shimla agreement , but our own POK was not taken back !! What kind of victory was this ? Do we ever hear of a victor not taking back his own property from a vanquished enemy ?? Article 370 giving Kashmir was perhaps necessary to secure the state's accession to India !! But even after so many years of Congress rule , it wasnt withdrawn !! Indira damaged the constitution severely during the emergency with 42nd amendment but didnt bother to withdraw article 370 which hampers Kashmir's progress to this date !!
The came the 1980s ! The 1987 Assembly elections in J & K ,saw rampant election malpractises by congress and its allies !! This proved to be a massive trigger initiating terrorism in Kashmir in 1989 !! Unhappy youths crossed over to POK in 1988 , were not stopped . They went militant training by Pakistanis , and came back an year later in 1989 as terrorists , were not stopped either !! Congress has remained silent on the exodus and genocide of Kashmiri Pundits who have become a refugee in their own country !
Pakistan has been sponsoring anti-India terrorism and sheltering Indian criminals right since 1980s . First Punjab ,then Kashmir !! but all Congress government does is appeasing it ! 250 million rupees were donated to Pakistan for flood relief despite knowing that it wud be used against India !! Obtaining visas have been made easy for Pakistanis when they should have been made impossible to obtain !! During sports events like Commonwealth Games 2010 and ICC cricket world cup 2011 , several Pakistanis came to India , but none bothered to check how many returned . Now terrorists can easily take visas posing as ordinary pakistanis and visit India . This , after a terrorist like David Headley had legally entered India and surveyed targets for 26/11 !! If one says that India doesnt learn lessons from tragedies ,doesnt value it's citizens lives, it wud be wrong . Its only that Congress doesnt want to learn from tragedies and congress doesnt value lives !! To equate congress with entire nation wud b wrong !!

    Now compare these with BJP led NDA policies on China and Pakistan . China first - Vajpayee made sure that China accepts Sikkim as a part of India during his China visit in 2003 !! He did try to improve relations with China , but not at the cost of Indian pride . One didnt find third class and harmful Chinese products in Indian markets during NDA rule !! Also , modernisation of Military was faster with a Nationalist like George Fernandes as defence minister , unlike today when its slow !! Under Vajpayee , incidents of Chinese incursions were low !!
   Coming to Pakistan , its not that BJP never tried for peace . Vajpayee himself went to Lahore in a bus for this !! But when Pakistanis backstabbed us in Kargil , Vajpayee was decisive !! He handled the issue well , giving Indian army and Air Force full support and mobilising a nation for the cause !! He did invite Musharraf again in 2001 , which even I feel he shouldnt have !! But when Musharraf refused to acknowledge terrorism , dubbing it as freedom struggle , he was asked to leave , and then no negotiations and talks were done with pakistan for 3 years till 2004 when Mussharaf stated that he wud make sure Pakistani soil is not used for anti-India terrorism !! 
  These are the policies which India needs to emulate today ! And expecting Congress to do that would be a folly !! Only BJP and MODI can do it !! To a question on how to handle international pressure ,Modi replied in an interview on India TV's ' Aap Ki Adalat ' , " we r a nation of 120 crore people , we can put pressure on the entire world ! How can the world put pressure on us ?? " . This is the attitude we require of a Prime Minister and not the silence of Manmohan Singh !!



Does one need more reasons to choose Narendra Modi ?? I end up this article with a slogan in Hindi - Loot Ta Bharat kare pukaar , Narendra Modi abki baar !!!
