India also suffered a lot not only on the medical front but also on the job front, almost millions becoming jobless and forced to migrate back to their home states. The economic activity almost came to a standstill for some months multiplying the woes of million of hapless Indians and the woes of the government of the day. In India it was a God sent opportunity for all BJP haters because of political differences on one hand and the squeeze put by this government on all <a href="https://veekay-indiandreamsvsreality.blogspot.com/2020/06/corruption-empowered-cabal.html" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">corruption empowered cabals </a> which have been enjoying undue status, power and big earnings through al kinds of dirty manipulations.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">November 2020 elections comprising of elections in Bihar, one of the major state of India and a large number of by polls in major states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Haryana, Gujarat etc. provided an opportunity to know how does the public at large feel about the handling of this calamity by the government of the day. The message and verdict is there before all of us to see. The rhetoric made by the polity in opposition and their touts and boot lickers from amongst these corruption empowered cabals, pseudo intelligentsia etc., based not on what was done by the government for one and all of affected masses but on the basis of a few aberrations where government role was not </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">satisfactory could cut no ice with the masses. The results are a massive mandate for the satisfaction of masses of the most affected Hindi belt states of Bihar, </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat with the way they have been helped by government, during the period they could not earn, they could not return to their homes. These states have given a thumbs up and shown total satisfaction to revving up of the building up of medical infrastructure, facilities and controlling the spread of Kovid through strict lock down. In fact the total management of <a href="https://veekay-indiandreamsvsreality.blogspot.com/2020/05/india-and-coronavirus-catastrophe.html" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">India and Coronavirus Catastrophe </a> has also been appreciated by the general masses of India.</span></p>vksharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10923271354051259206noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723119781588782890.post-22792084857980141932020-10-01T19:47:00.001+05:302020-10-01T19:47:56.235+05:30INDIAN DREAMS Vs REALITY: WHY MODI IS HATED SO MUCH BY THE OPPOSITION AND SO...<a href="https://veekay-indiandreamsvsreality.blogspot.com/2020/10/why-modi-is-hated-so-much-by-opposition.html?spref=bl">INDIAN DREAMS Vs REALITY: WHY MODI IS HATED SO MUCH BY THE OPPOSITION AND SO...</a>: In the seventy plus years of post independence India, no doubt it was Congress party that ruled the country for about six decades.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a young boy way, back in 1957 while studying in 7th class, we were told that in Indian democracy there are no Nawabs. The rulers/Members of Parliament were just selfless servants of the people who would be in politics for the sake of serving the nation and its citizenry for a salary of Rs 400 only, the same as the starting salary of a class I bureaucrat of that time. To day after about sixty years, we are back to the old Nawab structure, where MP's have proposed for themselves a basic salary of Rs 100000 with allowances to the tune of Rs 1.8 lakh per month. Add to this other perks that catapult their take home to something like Rs 20 lakhs on an average and in some cases as high as Rs50 lakhs. Incidentally starting basic salary of class I bureaucrats as per the 7th pay commission is Rs 56100. <span style="font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><b><i>Once the proposals, prepared by the Parliamentary Affairs Ministry, are implemented, wages of MPs will be higher than the government secretary’s salary. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/govt-moves-to-double-mps-salary-to-rs-2-8-lakh-a-month/#sthash.w1BWxFWi.dpuf</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In sixty years MP's have managed to hike their own salaries from the level of a sub divisional magistrate to that of a secretary in the central government and now that the concept of a career politician has crept in the Indian polity and since they can themselves make/amend their salaries/allowances/perks in a rather unashamed manner, there is all likely possibility that India is going to have couple of thousands of Nawabs in the next decade or so living on tax payers money without even any basic ethics/code of conduct that is binding on all the bureaucracy of this country.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The politicians say India is a true democracy. The students say they do not get jobs. The facts say more than 80% of people coming out of all schools, colleges, universities and institutes are simply unemployable. Intelligentsia and experts from all over the globe are of the opinion that India is wonderfully poised to be a prosperous nation by another decade. But our politicians seem to be hell bent to prove all these pundits wrong through their actions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have students of Puducherry university and Film Institute Pune holding protests over the appointments of vice chancellor and President in the true name of democracy. It appears they are at the moment fighting for their democratic right to choose the institutional heads but I won't be surprised if tomorrow they start demanding the right to have examiners of their choice and liking, all with backing from the polity which claims to be the benefactor of the nation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Indian Parliament has not worked for the last so many days in this monsoon session and the Indian polity is crying itself hoarse that they work in the best interest of the nation and its billion plus citizens perhaps trying to impress upon the hapless voters (who send them to this august house) that they will be better off if Parliament does not work.Today some ministers need to resign for letting the Parliament work. To morrow we might see the condition of the government resignation being put for allowing the Parliament to work.Hats off to the Indian polity, after all India is a true democracy.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the last five decades all people (who were sincere and honest to the nation and country and not to any boss, chair or party to fulfill their desires through nondubious and noncorrupt means) talked in their drawing rooms that this country can progress to prosperity only when a revolution takes place, a revolution by the silent hapless billion plus people of this land against all efforts of the ruling polity and bureaucracy to fool them, to loot them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even today as I write this a big debate is going on on all media channels wherein all the national spokes persons of all the established parties are attributing Aam Aadmi Party's win and Bhartiya Janta Party's loss to the secular credentials of one and Hindutava agenda of the latter. But let us understand that no revolution in the history of mankind has occurred with religious agenda. In fact all revolutions have taken place as a war between haves and havenots because haves have always thrived and made merry on power, authority, corruption and loots..Still they do not want to take cognizance of the fact that that it is the awareness and recognition of the plain and simple reality of today's India described in words below i.e.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Sisters and brothers of India, whether from villages or cities, from any religion, caste or creed,rich or poor, don't be taken in by any of the tricks of </span></i></b><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">politicians, for end of corrupt people and corruption will be the end of your poverty and miseries.Your poverty is a direct result of corruption by those in authority and power.</span></i></b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">which is responsible for such a clean sweep in the latest Delhi elections. In fact it is the dawn of a new era, a watershed mandate in the Indian political history where the power of ballot has rejected the hitherto effective and accepted model of Indian politics wherein the vote banks could be purchased/ goaded/fooled by empowering a few henchmen/goons economically much in the same manner as Muslim rulers would make Nawabs and British rulers would make Rai Sahibs at the expense of common man's rights and dues. The new model mooted by Aam Aadmi Party expects the Indian rulers to work for the betterment of each and every individual rather than for a few favoured and chosen ones.</span></span></div>

<br />
BJP spokesperson and those committed to their cause heard on the Indian TV today that debates between leaders of different political parties during the run up to elections cannot and should not be held because <b>Indian democracy is neither</b><br />
<b>A presidential form of government</b><br />
<b> nor</b><br />
<b>A two party system</b><br />
These howlers and barkers to the nation during the run up to national elections in 2014 were heard everyday demanding a debate between Mr Modi vs Mr Rahul Gandhi as well as Mr Modi vs Dr Manmohan Singh. Surprisingly these two simple facts were not known to the persons who have been entrusted with the reigns of government of India.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Divide and rule, </b>the famous punch line attributed to British has been the eternal weapon of Indian polity in the short history of independent India.It appears the present and past polity had either no clue to mitigation of poverty or never had any inclination to do it in a meaningful manner. So they took refuge in the politics of division and appeasement.So issues like agriculturist vs non agriculturist, rural vs urban, rich vs poor, One State Resident vs Other State Resident, Dalit vs OBC vs Others, Male vs Female, Hindu vs Muslim and similar minority cards. In short they always worked against the first and foremost pillar of all equalities enshrined in the Indian constitution i.e all individuals will be treated at par for all purposes irrespective of their gender, colour, caste, creed, religion and place of birth to fulfill their own baser instincts ( money, wine, woman and power )</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
India has seen a lot of hooliganism and riots in the name of these demeaning divisive slogans patronized by different hues of Indian polity from time to time. Need less to emphasize that such crooked activities are resorted to to win elections or topple the governments of your adversaries.All violent activities are organised and encouraged to fulfill the desires of politicians and have little or negligible contribution to the welfare of the masses. Reservation policy is a typical case in point. All political parties are guilty of using this card for their own benefit. But what has happened to the so called beneficiary group. Dalits and scheduled tribes constitute more than 22% of the Indian population. But to date hardly 2.0 lakh individuals could be benefited during the last 67 years as a result of this policy out of 30 crores. At this rate the Dalit upliftment program seems to be designed for couple of thousand years of rule by this dishonest and insincere polity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"<a href="http://indianexpress.com/article/india/politics/sonia-attacks-modi-govt-blames-it-for-rise-in-communal-clashes/"><b>Riots have been deliberately created, increased after Modi's government came to power</b></a>", says Sonia Gandhi..Yes, that is a fact and nobody denies it. Congress and all parties have been guilty of such manipulations from time to time. But has anybody after a big electoral success indulged in such disruptive activity to put his own government in jeopardy or is it that those who get decimated in electoral process indulge in this to regain lost ground. Most of the anti Modi parties have been prophesying that Modi's coming to power will be a disaster and doom for India. It appears now they are working overtime to prove their prophesy right.</div>

<strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">The government's idea to get people to voluntarily forgo their LPG subsidy as an exercise in "nation building" has raised peoples' hackles.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Union Government wants me to forgo my subsidy of around Rs500 per LPG cylinder. And it thinks that if I ignore the SMS, it will ‘expose’ the ‘rich’ <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD12" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-clip: initial !important; background-image: none !important; background-origin: initial !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat !important; background-size: initial !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;">who want</span> to hang on to benefits meant for the poor.

Mr Narendra Modi, <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-clip: initial !important; background-image: none !important; background-origin: initial !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat !important; background-size: initial !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;">thank you</span>. I have no guilt in enjoying this subsidy. In fact, I get a small vicarious pleasure in getting something back from a system that has only taken from me all my life. Why is it that the system favours those who are parasitical <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD6" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-clip: initial !important; background-image: none !important; background-origin: initial !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat !important; background-size: initial !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;">to the extreme</span>?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Given the noise about the Gujarat model, I thought that the age of meritocracy had to come. Alas, the Modi government seems to be bent on pushing honest citizens against the wall. Encouraging parasites to thrive through subsidies is surely not the way Gujarat has reached where it has, but the message this time is all wrong. If the Modi government is serious about the “Gujarat model”, we should actually see all subsidies being banished and that there are rewards for honesty and merit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inherited an India with major challenges: an economy that fails to distribute the needs but pushes the wants; an environment that is being irreversibly stripped off; a hassle-filled life where red tape, fraud, corruption and indifference are ever increasing; failed land-use management is destroying India’s forests, mountains, rivers, streams, and farms, and at the same time flooding its courts with disputes. Over and above all this, it is almost impossible to make the right projects happen in the right place at the right time wasting thousands of crores of tax-payers’ money</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 26px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To remove all these ills, Mr Modi has to redesign the way governance works. What should he do to redesign governance quickly? Here is a roadmap that focuses on the need to protect the assets <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-clip: initial !important; background-image: none !important; background-origin: initial !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat !important; background-size: initial !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;">of the country</span>, and to ensure that the right projects are being undertaken, where no one is denied benefits, where justice, equality, and liberty are within reach, the future scenarios are shared, and democracy is not a distant dream.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, the finance minister of India, Sh Arun Jetley presented budget 2014 in the parliament. The budget did have some positives but under the circumstances, with little money available for development, courtesy the ten years' economic mess created by the previous government. The approach of the previous government to the problems India is faced with was not only against all basic tenets of economics by the so called economists of world repute, it was void of even the common sense and they chose even to flirt with the age old adage 'cut your coat according to your cloth'. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In politics one is either with the government or against it. But there has got to be some difference between opposing and simple howling. All the stalwarts of the previous government have been crying themselves hoarse over everything that the new finance minister has put up on the plea that he has hijacked their agenda, the never ending agenda of the last sixty five years of independent India, the agenda of poverty eradication which was shamelessly diluted to poverty alleviation by this nobility in the service of mankind. All other programs whether of imparting skill and education or providing drinking water or providing good health services or providing food and shelter are the patents of Congress party and all other political parties of the country should perhaps say that they will not provide these otherwise they will be taken to task for infringement of the patent rights.</div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The government is building pressure particularly on Switzerland, seeking details of Indians who have parked unaccounted for money in the Alpine country's highly secretive banks. It has quickly implemented a Supreme Court directive to set up a high-powered special investigation team, headed by retired judge MB Shah, to look into the issue of black money that is said to run a parallel economy in India.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The efforts to rid India of corruption comes at a time when public patience with graft has run thin, underlined by massive street protests across the country three years ago that forced political parties to start addressing the scourge.</span><br />
