4 Things That India Expects From The Modi Government (MoGo)


BJP has come to power this elections after a gap of nearly 10 years. Surely, anti-incumbency was one factor that played a vital role in their victory, but it can't be denied that the people of the country have a lot of hopes with this Modi Government. Let's do an exercise, let's analyze the top four things that the citizens of India expect from the new government.
Here we go!


Better Governance
Okay! I know this is the easiest of points to make, you always expect good governance from the elected government that we as naive, stupid but yet powerful citizens bring to power. The point is, one of the most important aspects of good governance is managing international affairs well enough. We expect Modi to make India shine in the international spectra and make true the much awaited, yet failed, objectives of ‘India Shining’. This government is expected to make its word in the world, be friendly with the super-powers and super-powers-to-be and still not succumb to their pressure and pander to their requirements. This government needs to take a strong stand in the international affairs and do away with its policy of deliberate silence (hopefully Modi speaks a lot more than Mr Singh!), only then can we think of realizing the dream of India superpower 2020. The bitter fact is India has been touted as the next big thing in the world for a bit too long without making any justice to this status internationally. At this juncture, India can at best be qualified as a regional power. For India to be an international superpower it will have to be more participative in the matters of international concern. This is the best opportunity for the BJP to bounce back into mainline Indian politics, do well and finally wipe off Congress (which is always known to come back strong).

Better Handling of issues pertaining to the cultural minorities
BJP has been under a lot of fire in the past to be a pro-Hindutva party. It's high time they did away with these orthodox idiosyncrasies. It is imperative for the BJP to restore its faith among the people of the country as a secular party whose ideologies are not motivated by caste, creed, color, religion and other such baseless crap. MoGo is expected to deal with all these issues with genuinity and fidelity without being biased to any particular section of the people. Modi's public image of being a religious hardliner needs to be over-hauled and should be rebuild on terms of pure secularism. Only if the BJP government is able to make these minority groups feel involved in the development process, Mr Modi can afford an image makeover and can wash-off the sins of 2002 that haunt him till date.

Complete check on terrorism
Cross-border militancy has always been one of the most important issues for India ever since her independence in 1947. Modi with his audacious and tit-for-tat attitude is expected to curb Indian of this menace that has been a roadblock for the country's peace perennially for years now. But whether or not Modi's hard stand be fruitful is yet to be witnessed. Nevertheless, one thing is clear, BJP has been quite clear in its agendas put forward during its campaign and has taken no restraint in portraying Congress's poor governance and mild international stand as one of the reasons for cross-border terrorism. BJP, now in power, would have to do something great to cure India of this disease that has plagued our country for eternity. Considering, MoGo is unable to do so there will be a lot of criticism and thrash talking by the opponents. MoGo just cannot afford it, for they are in a very tight spot. Only results can rescue them and prove it to the opponents that this Modi win was not just a fluke.


Development

Now this has, by far, been BJP's USP this poll season and now that they are at the helm, they will have to do justice to it. MoGo will have a lot of pressure owing to the super-high expectations the people have from Mr. Modi. Modi has left no stone unturned to convey that he believes in development politics. But the question that comes to the fore is whether or not the Gujarat model prove to be a panacea for the nation. His theory of 'one-size-fits-all' can be under strain when implemented at the pan India level. There is no doubt to the fact that Modi has been the protagonist of the Gujarat story but there is a lot of difference between a state and a country, for the sheer magnitude of money, opportunities, people and risks involved make it a really tough task to pull off with the same ease with which it was done in Gujarat. This is a golden phase for India - we have all the ingredients that it takes to fast forward the economic growth. This is the time when India has the highest percentage of Working Age Population (WAP) in the world and this number is only to increase in the next 10 years. The ratio of WAP to dependents is highest which is just perfect. The government at this point of time should try its level best to accrue as much demographic dividend as possible and not let this opportunity slide away. If we are able to channelize our youth into productive work by creating more jobs, better self-employment opportunities and better education, there is no stopping India then.


If MoGo takes care of all of these things with precision, there are definitely good days ('ache din') to come for both India and the BJP. If not, then unfortunately in spite of having everything we would still be counted amongst the backward nations of the world.

To 'Netaji'...With Love

Dear Mr. Netaji,
First of all I feel very disgusted for having sitting down to write this letter to you, because had you been working to the best of your ability I would have never decided to write this in the first place. So more than anything else, and more than the shabby critical eye opener this letter really is, it is a token of ignominy and chagrin for you and your political class.
When will you people learn to run the country with clean hands and head. The country today is replete with cases of corruption around almost every government deal. The top political brass is hardly bothered to address the needs and problems of the common man. Instead, they are busy draining the exchequer and in process robbing the poor Indian middle class. We pay taxes to the government to make sure that the public amenities are made available. We don't owe you that money.On the contrary you owe us services in return for the taxes we pay you. We don't pay the taxes so that you can meticulously and deceitfully appropriate huge amounts of it to yourself and hide it under your desi facade.
I also wonder how big your bellies are ??? You people are even better than pigs.For pigs have that unsocial habit of going on an eating-spree in public, but you and all other netas are pretty good at concealing your greed and appetite for money.You and your accomplices execute "the fraud" with such precision that it goes unnoticed; only to become public after all the money has been chewed and digested. And then what happens is usual chores- you convene a meeting of the top group of ministers and finally instruct the CBI to cursorily probe the matter. Days and months pass-by, and the already over-burdened and over-worried people forget the case and move on.Finally, you are free on a parole and all set to bring into effect the next scam-in-progress.So apart from running the nation - and that we know very well how you do - you also take up this arduous task of denuding the public of their hard-earned money in the name of national progress.
Sometimes I really wonder - as a responsible citizen that I am - which one of you is the best pick for leading a country of more than 100 billion people. For it needs some brainstorming to run a country like ours where people rely so much upon good governance for their welfare. After all its not a joke to shape the destiny, or on that part play with the destiny, of several billion people.Each one of you in some way or the other is worse than everyone else. Some of you are illiterate goons bequeathing political power as a heir of the family legacy.Some others are educated but make the best use of their knowledge only to indulge in scams and political heists.And just a handful of you are sincere leaders, really wanting to clean your house, but are incapable and ineffective because of lack of support from their fellow counterparts.
So all in all, its a situation of total disaster wreaking pandemonium all across the system.
The result - an inescapable political imbroglio.The repercussions - ineffective governance and a corruption prone economy.
So Mr. Netaji please learn to take the onus of governing this country seriously, if not for the people who elect you to power, then at least for your own self, because you are as much a part of this country as every other Indian is.

Yours sincerely,
Ek Aam Aadmi

Kissa Kursi Ka!!!



Coutesy:

India has long boasted of being the world’s largest democracy. But there is an inherent flaw in the very structure of Indian political system. With so many parties in the political fray, both national and regional, the people of India Inc. find themselves in a political quandary. With so many parties and regional leaders appeasing them for votes the 'junta' stands utterly confused.
This has a dual effect.
One, it makes the poor and illiterate people of rural India vulnerable to the overtures made by the leaders. They easily fall prey to the false promises made by the dominant-regional leaders and end up not using their most basic political right of voting as optimally as they
should. Their ignorance proves blissful to the shrewd leaders of this country.
Second, this has a trickle-down effect on the governance of the country at large. The votes and
subsequently the power to form the government is distributed, almost so evenly, amongst these
parties that none of them emerges victorious with a thumping majority. The result: ‘An alliance’.
The consequences: distribution of power and opinions alike.
We ultimately have a government so deeply riddled with compromises and power-sharing that it’s incapable of officiously implementing a policy across the country. The same is the condition of the Indian State currently. Be it the drama we witnessed over allowing FDI or the deregulation of the prices of petrol and its variants or whatsoever. Every time the centre has tried to ratify a
new policy there has been some opposition from at least one of the members of its alliance.
There are numerous cases where we have witnessed a high level drama and polarized opinions over the ratification of a policy. Whatever be the end-result, the process of policy implementation itself suggests how deeply plagued and how unstable the foundation of Indian political system is.
In times of severe political crisis, when quick and effective decisions need to be taken, our
government finds itself tied down and burdened with the load of an alliance. Instead of expediting the process of policy-framing and decision-making the government is busy appeasing its brethren to reach a consensus on an opinion. Instead of negotiating for policies, in India's interest, with the foreign leaders the government spends time either vegetating or solving internal disputes. The people at the centre find themselves devoid of power and authority.
It’s high time the Indian leaders learnt to work in tandem with each other or else India would
still be the largest democracy in the world but unfortunately not the most successful one.

India - The Political Cabaret


Did you know Manmohan Singh, more popularly known as 'Mannu', the honorable Prime Minister of India, is an exceptional dancer.
And so is 'Didi', the TMC Chief - Mamta Banerjee.
And how can we forget the latent talent of Sonia Gandhi when it comes to play a guitar.
The Indian politics across all demographies is replete with such political superstars. It is sad and critical on part of the 'aam junta', who play the part of being the audience here, not to recognise their talent and award these political cabret stars with due respect and accolades.

Ever since UPA-I came to power, Mannu, the lead dancer, has been dancing so well to the tunes of the INC Chief Sonia that it became imperative for the junta to vote him again to power and extend his performance to a second consecutive term. The junta it seems has really enjoyed his performnance. And why not, he has never let his body language or his dance seem out of tune to the music
 composed by the Gandhi family. Such is his dancing prowess that even Michael Jackson, had he been alive, would had pangs of inferiority. For years, he has been moving his feet in synch with Sonia Gandhi and her apostles. Never has he complained or refused to perform with them - a true team player for sure (one of the most vouched for virtue in contemporary managers and leaders). Be it the slippery Moon-SCAM-walk or the hard to perfect VADRA-steps, Mannu Bhai has never backed down.
Mamta Banerjee has time and again proved that she in no way is any less a dancer than our rockstar Mannu. Didi, as she is often called by her die-hard fans (some of them literally having no choice but

to kick the bucket), has always fought back hard and has never let Mannu's profitability, popularity and glamour quotient supercede hers. Though both Mannu and Didi are a part of the same band, administered by Sonia, they have their share of apathy, and at times even antipahty, for each other. Didi, being a young gun (she is at least younger than Manmohan) is better at some power-PUBLICITY-steps. She makes sure that she uses this to the fullest against Mannu and let the limelight be on her.
Rahul Gandhi for sure has to be the KEELER-DRUMMER(KD) - the heart of this association. He is incredible at making the perfect noise just when required. And that has proven really handy to Sonia; whenever Mannu and Didi fail to enchant the audience and get booed by them, KD gets in and does a high-adrenalin-performance which drives people crazy.Remember the visit Rahul made to J&K with a resolution to hear the problems of the youth there and look up solutions for them eventually.Though the situation is much the same and we have not witnessed any major turnaround in the valley, Rahul's visit atleast pacified the people for a while. They are in peace for few months before creating a furore again. No doubt, KD, along with his drums and sticks, is the trumpcard for the UPA band.
This odd bunch of the UPA band may not have been able to exercise good governance, may have failed to provide full meals to a million destitutes in the country, may not have been able to fight back and seek revenge for a jawaan killed at the border, may not have been able to save Nirbhaya (and then they say, may she RIP!!!), and may be won't be able to save thousands of such Nirbhayas in future, but we will still re-elect them to office because of the sheer entertainment they had offered us for all these years.

Rape - A New Phenomenon


Remember the old days, when even glancing, let alone staring, at a not so hot girl- vis-a-vis the current hotness quotient advertised by the feminine sect- could well land you into a situation where you could be beaten up by public to pulp. But now the times have changed!!!
We live an ultra modern cosmopolitan society now where in we pledge to give an equal share of everything to women.So here we are in a situation demanding a lot more from us.
Women today claim to stand tall keeping shoulders at level with the opposite sex.They have demanded equality with men in everything.They are craving to prove them next to no other mortal masculine soul, alive or dead.

So here we are giving them what they want, only with just a little perversion.We have now pledged to give them an equal amount of hatred, animosity, disgrace, shame and ignominy.Add to it, the 'use-and -throw' attitude given them as a bonus for their intrepid stance and demands.They are now respectfully stared in a market place, groped in a procession, abused in homes, harassed in offices, mocked in packed buses, beaten in villages, killed in hospitals, and most importantly 'used' when required.

Hell Yeah!!!

We are proud to give them exactly what they wanted.They asked for an independent outlook towards them and not the one of poor helpless creatures.But now that we have subjected them to exactly the same treatment they say they are not happy - Bloody Hippocrates!!!

So now who is to be blamed???
Little did they know before making their demands that, for years we men have been treating each other exactly the same way.We are inundated with feelings of animosity, hatred and antipathy for our fellow men and women.

We take pride in inflicting such behavior on women around us.We can ask, or rather force, our so-called sisters, any time to go for an incestuous adventure with us.We can use, and in some cases even throw them post the 'use', to satisfy the carnality of the demon in us.

And no law, no society and no self-conscience can stop us from doing so because they were the ones who asked for a change.

So Sorry Ladies!!! We men will not change. Gone are those days of chivalry.
We are now treating you as equals, so expect no mercy.

You asked for it, so you must pay for it...
PS: It's a wake up call for all men and boys out their. Please give women/girls the respect they deserve.If you respect your mother and sister then why not the girl out their in the street.
Think about it!!!
