Tuesday Titbits

It seems that the opposition parties have no other business now a days except to shout from roof top that with Modi as PM country, it is going to dogs, intolerance is increasing and blah blah. Some times they speak such a non sense that you feel like laughing and it forces you to think are they the leaders who are thinking of leading the nation in future and if that happens then  I do not know where our country will go. These leaders think that public memory is so short that they will forget what they have spoken earlier. Some of statements which these leaders are making are so self contradictory that you some times feel what morality these people have and by these types of statements they are exposing themselves to the public that how power hungry they are, and their only aim is to any how get some position so they can make the money by way of corruption. Do these leader have ever talked on the vision for the country, what will be their policies if they come to power. They will only say that what is happening in the country is not good, but they will never spell out how they are going to turn these bad happenings for the betterment of people.  They do not have any answer for that. Leading the pack of these type of leader is Congress Party with their president Rahul Gandhi in fore front, it looks like Congress party’s think tank daily give some brief that he has to speak on this topic today, without he being aware that whether that statement which he is going to utter is factually true or not. He will just say some thing without any proof, and other leaders of Congress party will follow him. Some of the statements which these leaders have made are listed below :

1. Rahul Gandhi made such a halla gulla that the present govt is working for Reliance, as govt insisted that Rafale gives the contract to Reliance. He must have forgotten that if any one searches the internet, he will be surprised to know that so many thousands of crore rupess order were placed by UPA 1 & 2 to Reliance group. He further added that Raliance does not have any experience in defence equipment production, then can Rahul Gandhi answer this question why the contract of Mumbai one metro was given to Relaince ( the work was awarded during UPA 1, when centre and Maharashtra state were both had Coalition govts where Congress was the leading party), because that time Reliance had not done any work on Metro. Why the contract was not awarded to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), who has got very good experience on constructing Metro railway.
2. Yesterday in London, some Cyber Expert called Syed Shuja claimed that General election of 2014 was rigged and EVMs were tempered with, and at that event Congress leader Kapil Sibal was present, which means Congress is endorsing his statement, otherwise Kapil Sibal never contradicted there and there only. But the Congress party is forgetting that in 2014 UPA 2 was at power, so if the rigging would have happened then it could have happened with their blessings only. It is Congress’s practice when they lose some election that time EVMs are rigged and when they win the election that time EVMs are all OK. Such are their double standards. What Shuja meant by saying that BJP leader Gopinath Munde was killed because he knew about Rigging and journalist Gauri Lankesh  was about to write about this and she was also killed. What a funny theory.
3. Let us talk about one more leader, Arvind Kejriwal. In 2014 he said in a public meeting that there are many leaders who are corrupt and they should never be allowed to win any elections, they should be rejected by Indian voters. Few of the names which he mentioned were of – P Chibambaram, Kanimozhi, MK Stalin, Mayawati, Yadav Family (Mulayam & Akhilesh), Praful Patel, Sharad Pawar. Lalu Prasad Yadav, HD Kumaraswamy, Veerappa Moily, Farookh Abdullah, Jagan Mohan Reddy and many more. Two days back in Calcutta he was sharing the dias with the same people and calling them saviours of democracy. I think now, there is change of heart for Kejriwal and all these people from the corrupt politician have become honest and corruption free politicians. Yes , most of these politicians except few ( Kejriwal & Kumarswamy), are out of power hence thay can not indulge in corruption, so presently they have become honest for Kejriwal or it is happened reverse way Kejriwal has become corrupt and joined these corrupt politician’s league. All these leaders have forgotten that such type of coalitions have never worked in India and there are many examples when some parties form coalition with the only aim to throw the ruling party out. Starting from Janta Party & Morarji Govt (1977-79), Janata dal and VP Singh & Chandrashekhar’s govt (1989-91), again Janata Dal and Devegowda & IK Gujral’s govt (1996-96), none of these govt could last even a half term forget full term.

In the end , I can say the polity is going down so much that, where it will reach is difficult to predict.
