PART 2/2

" If you win, you should be polite and if you loose you should do introspection "

Shall Narendra Modi and ruling party BJP able to keep politeness or not ?
And will the Congress party do it's introspection or not ?
However the speech and posture of NaMo in central Parliament hall after elected as leader of NDA MPs was positive and polite.
With the huge victory of BJP in the elections, Indian Democracy has scarcity of opposition.
Major question is Why the opposition and specially Indian National Congress failed to revive in these elections ?
Answers could be
1.lack of strong face in front of Modi from Congress or opposition
2. Opposition has lack of strong and correct issues to get branding against ruling part,
3.lack of Alliances with AAP in Delhi/Haryana or in UP with SP and BSP.

Clearly third answer wouldn't have any impact if we see the winning margins of BJP candidates.

First point is most important there was no one against Modi, election was Modi vs no Modi.

second point is a clear fact that Congress party for last five years was not able to project the actual issues of country and never able to keep ruling party on backfoot. Congress has a very good manifesto still not able to brand it. In manifesto Congress promissed about NYAY scheme of paying 6000 every month to the 20% families of country. But rare of these eligible families actually got aware of it, consider if many of them get to know about it then also, lack of trust doesn't convert these aware people into votes for Congress.

Strong Opposition is required as much as strong government for stronger democracy. And strong media in addition of it makes the democracy strongest.

A massive victory by Narendra Modi lead BJP in the 2019 General elections.
People during election used to say there is under current of NaMo but not a wave like 2014. As trends started to come, proved this under current, actually a electoral tsunami.
Clearly Modi wave of 2014 is still on and also seems more powerful.
2019 general elections, elections for 17th Loksabha done for 542 seats (out of total 545 seats). Out of these 542, BJP come up with 303, which is great majority on its own, and BJP lead NDA (National Democratic Alliance) won 351.
It's necessary to note that these 2019 LS elections has the highest voting percentage 67% in Democratic India since first elections in 1952. This is remarkable for Democracy.
More the the participation of people, stronger be our democracy. As Democracy is nothing but government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Gautam gambhir, Sunny Deol, Urmila matondkar, vijender singh, Hansraj Hans etc are the few names which has been added up in the already fat list of Parachute candidates for Parliament elections.
Political parties generally distribute tickets to celebrity candidates to take advantage of his/her fan following base as voter.
The celebrity also used to be interested and take this opportunity for enhance their so called reputation/fame or fullfilling their ambition.
Obviously it's really rare that any one of these parachute candidate really want to serve and interested in the people of their respective constituency.
The attendance of past celebrity MPs in Loksabha is enough to prove the above statement.
However It's a mutual beneficial deal b/w a political party and a celebrity.
BUT it's not at all good for democracy.
Not good for common people , and definitely not good for political party workers, who has been working for years, day and night, in the hope that one day they will get chance to represent their party in parliament.

It is actually the moral duty of parliamentarian that he/she should stand with the people in case of any requirement in their constituency on the contrary these celebrity Loksabha members keep continuing their professional work on full time basis and rarely visit to their constituency regions.

Solutions:
First, these Parachute candidates should have learn from few exceptional celebrity Loksabha members like Sunil Dutt etc and should leave their Full time professional work, and involve them selves actually with the public.

Second, the political party leadership's have to understand that by launching the parachute candidates in bulk they are actually demotivating their workers.

Third and most important, common people has to understand while voting, you should not vote some one just because you like his or her acting/sports instead of his/her actual work towards society/common people.
If we will not be aware about it, then in this mutual beneficial scheme of political parties and celebrities one day most of the Loksabha members may be the celebrities and unfortunately that day parliament will not be representing the whole country i.e "LOK" Sabha rather be representing the Bollywood or cricket Sabha.

Their is fine saying also that " Be fan/follower of anyone but never of a politician".

Interview after interview, political interview non-political interview, Scripted interview non-scripted interview.
PM Narendra Modi is not sparing any chance to disappear from Telivision/head lines/Prime time.
In last five years leaving last few months, he has done only single way communication through public meetings or Mann Ki Baat (except 3-4 interviews to his suitable journalists).
Now in the election campaign of 2019, He was also looking for same style public meetings but soon he may realise that this the same thing he was doing from last five years(continued in election mode) and thought to tweak the way of his political communication by giving lot of interviews (obviously to his suitable journalists till now) along with public meetings.

Certainly Narendra modi is the master player as far as political communication is concerned Moreover politics is concerned.
But the concern is the pseudo double side communication and fake journalism.
Since there is no cross questioning to the Mr. Prime minister. It seems like one sided communication only, just difference is 10-20 % of PM's speech is spoken by interviewer.
If some one interviewing with out research and cross questioning on the facts the interviewee then he is simply the actor like Akshay kumar but not the Journalist.
For example: almost in every interview PM got question about employment creation, He answered very well and said that if employments are not created then why more than a crore EPF account opened up. Interviewer change the question after this.

Let me ask the cross question does EPF account creation is the proof of permanent employment creation ?
Actually not, if I keep a temporary employee for 6-7 months then also he could have EPF account
Factually the number of EPF account created can never implies the same number of permanent employment created.
Why the interviewer in front of prime minister not able to ask this...either he has not researched over the fact or he is actually not a journalist but a actor.

Lot of companies service/manufacturing are recruiting temporary work forces for 6-7 months after that they have to leave their jobs, I don't think this is a employment opportunity.

If whole media started to be controlled by government then this system will be anarchy not democracy !!

Today the biggest challenge which is questioning our development is:
WHAT WE REALLY NEED, ARE WE REALLY ASKING FOR SAME ???

Ans is a clear NO.
There are number of things that country needs before anything else but the bulk of country is asking for something which we really do not need at all, and these things are not taking us anywhere.

This election is not BJP vs Congress or Mahagathbandhan.

This election infact any election should be for fake issues/fake demands vs actual needs.

This election should be RAM MANDIR vs better GOVT HOSPITALS and GOVT SCHOOLS.

This election should be LOVE JEHAD vs POLLUTION.

This election should be fake INTOLERANCE vs MALNUTRITION.

This election should be HINDU - MUSALMAN vs UNEMPLOYMENT.

This election should be GAU RAKSHAK/MOB LYNCHING fake issue vs better INFRASTRUCTURE.

Do you really want to see developed india, do you really want to change country...you know what, you just have to understand the what you really need instead of what major media/ politicians are highlighting.

So, before stepping up to the election booth this time, Are we really ready with right demands ???

In couple of weeks Country will face elections for 17 th Loksabha. General elections are the biggest event of democracy and make reliesed the power that common men/women have, to decide who will going to be rule/serve them for next five years.
This festival of democracy in the country which has been started since 1952 has become really changed from then to now.
Changed from ballet papers to EVMs with VVPAT , changed from Congress as the biggest party to BJP the one, changed from Neharu as the biggest leader to Modi the one, Changed from one of the least expensive elections to the one of the most expensive elections of the world.

But unfortunately the thing that would most likely required to change pan India has not changed yet.
Still most of us instead of voting for the development/evaluation of previous work of any party, we used to vote for cast/religion/tradition/issues which really does not matter/pleasing promises with no long term vision.
This wasn't the "actual idea of democracy". Unfortunately we are turning to an older democracy election by election but not to matured/wiser democracy.

The actual parameter to vote for any candidate in every constituency , should not be the evaluation of its earlier work towards development/economy instead of his/her caste/religion or other pseudo issues?
All of us really need to think over it, before step up to election booth for pushing the EVM button.

#Pulwama #Balakot #airstrike READ COMPLETE POST HERE
So the series of incidents started by 26 Feb early morning ended on late evening of First March.
There are miscellaneous views of the people inside and outside country , domestic and international media. Let us try to understand the incident and the outcomes.
On 26 Feb early morning the Indian air force did a non- millatry action inside Pakistan territory by destroying the terrorist training camp , which has been considered as reply of Pulwama attack.
Pakistan's PM Imaran khan made statement just after the Pulwama and said if there will be any sort of attack from India, then Pakistan has to retailiate and also refused for any participation of Pakistan in this attack. Now after the Air strike Imran khan second time released the statement and talked for peace and talking about not putting the both countries into the war. Next morning Pakistan's air force try to retailiate by entering inside Indian constituency but our forces was ready for replying them however during this engagement one of our MIG fighter jet crashed and the Pilot of this jet got landed in Pakistan occupied kasmir.

Now there is third time Imran khan released a statement , this time through joint parliamentarry session of Pakistan, that we want peace , and releasing the IAF pilot as gesture of peace.

If some one doesn't know the history of Pakistan and how the govt and forces of Pakistan used to support/fund terrorism will definitely praise the Pakistan peace moves. But unfortunately every one knows the real face of Pakistan.
Pakistan and it's ruling party of Imran khan is not able to make any difference with its preceding ruling parties by not following the double standards.
At the one hand they asking for peace on the other hand keep continuing the support/fund to terror organizations like jaish-e- mohammed, providing security to terrorists like Mashhood Azahar/Hafiz saeed.
On the one hand Pakistan wants peace with India on the other hand opposing the invitation to India in the conference of OIC ( Organization of Islamic countries).
Ain't these true double standards of Pakistan and the PM Imran khan led government.

The outcomes for India :
The Air strike is the strong and clear message which the country has given to the terror funding nation which was indeed required.

It's clear Diplomatic victory for the country as international community pressurised the Pakistan for relieving IAF wing command Mr. Abhinandan Varthaman within two days ( Pakistan can show off it as peace of gesture but the facts about its double standard clearly depicts the internationally diplomatic pressure). Pakistan's ruined creditability can be seen in its own OIC where besides the Pakistan's opposition India has been invited as Guest of Honour.

Come back to inside India:
Ruling party of country as it's part of marketing definitely wants to take major political milage of this Air Strike in the upcoming general elections. As an aware citizen we should speculate that this air strike should not cover all basic issues on which otherwise this election was going to happen.

Politics works on the #Perception so the victory and defeat in election.
With the loss of three states in assembly elections #BJP and #Primeminister is on the backfoot. Moreover the resignation from #RBI #Governor Mr Urjit Patel make it worser for the ruling party.
With the overwhelming response in 2014 Loksabha #elections perception of country was very much aligned toward BJP and more on #Modi. It remains consistent till the first quarter of 2017 i.e. post demonitization and UP elections.
It's not like that everything was in the favour of government, some issues like Ghar wapasi, Love Jehaad, intolerance was raised with full capacity by opposition and even more by the so called intellect class of country. Still the common perception was in the favour of Modi. Reason is obvious that issues were less real not affecting the common people at mass. Moreover BJP was on its rising edge with continuous victories however defeat in Bihar and Delhi dented BJP image but this was not visible Since the winning part is larger.
After #Yogi as CM of UP , dents become little visible because of violence from so called "Gaurakshaks", mob lynching at few places. Still the voters who made BJP in power are with the government more or less resulting victory in North East also.
Now with the second half of 2018 seems like country's perception took the sharp turn. Reasons was again obvious and yes this time affecting the mass, why ?
The more obvious answer is perception. This time opposition, media and some incidents made it happen against goverment.
Inflation, Dassault Rafale, weakening of institutions (Supreme court, CBI, RBI ), correct projection of all this by opposition make this turn, Results defeat in 3 states.

Now is this turn in public's opinion is correct or its just perception with not looking both sides of coin.

Choice is always yours.

Still most of us in world's largest democracy used to look in a single direction let's try to visualise big picture.
About RBI governor's resignation Critics version is this, since government has nothing Big to show case for 2019 elections so government wants a big part out from Central bank's cash reserve for some govt scheme. Governer refused to do so as this reserve is for country in emergancy situations. Since govt has special power in constitution to rule over central bank decision that's why governer finds resignation as an easy way out to gave country and govt a strong message.

Ruling party and finance ministers version about it is that central bank has excessive reserve i.e. more than required so govt want to make a expert committee and make a discussion on how much amount is really required in reserve. he said since the most of the industrial sector facing liquidity stress which in turns creating a kind of standstill situation with stop of cash flow. So to pump the cash govt looking toward RBI's reserve. Also For this crisis finance minister blames #UPA govt, back in 2008 after lehman brother crisis, when world's economy fell down in a recession. At that time strange policies of UPA by giving excessive loan to projects/businesses which are not sustainable converted into NPAs ( non performing assets).

Now as far as #Rafale fighter plane is concerned their are two part in it. First one is the price, opposition blaming the govt why the raffle cost become almost thrice to the price at which we are about to make the deal when we are in power. Govt easy reaction to it is that earlier prices was without weaponry.
second part is why the contract is given to Anil Ambani's company having no prior experience in defence and aviation manyfacturing. Govt has no satisfactory reply on this. Clearly depicts the Chrony capitalism. Opposition and media should raise the second part with more focus since their is no public bidding has been done for indian partner by dassault.

One positive aspect out in all this is strength in opposition and media , which are mandatory two out of four pillars of #democracy. Negative aspect is the attitude of ruling party which definately emerge out as habit for upcoming #governments in future india.
A common perception may or may not be complete truth but definitely it's not completely false.
