jalebi_bhai Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Its all relative isn't it. Macro-economic indicators are much better.Investor confidence is up. Doing much, much better than the scamgress govt. Shourie gave himself away when the Jaitley topic was brought up. Shourie was a great soldier for hindutva cause. I think recent slipup is the handy work of senility/pride. Prehaps he was denied a post that he was interested in? Same thing happened to Advani. I won't fault him though' date=' life has dealt him sh!t hand. That too must be playing on his mind as he looks back on his life.[/quote'] Shourie might be bitter about not being involved with the govt., but he makes some valid points. We can all agree that things have been far from ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalebi_bhai Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Would have been interesting to see Shourie / Gurumurthy/Swamy in the Modi govt... I think there is a no 75+ minister policy. I believe Jayant Sinha is set to become the next FM. Swamy has a role to play as an outsider. Can't wait for him to get the green light to take down Undie TV.

G_B_ Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Swamy is just to volatile to hold down a ministry (though i feel he will be very good at his job) I think people are selling the government short. Key economic bills passed 49% FDI in insurance, Mining bill, Coal bill etc. You cant blame Modi if he does not have the numbers in the rajya sabha. If they manage to sneak in the GST which has been stuck for a decade along with the Real estate bill i would say its a big progress. Much much better than other BRICS countries such as Brazil, South Africa and Russia who have done square of jack in terms of reforms. Clearly in 2016 the rajya sabha picture will change with more people from the NDA joining the ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is mentoring Jayant quite well and has given him more responsibility than any other previous MoS in Finance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiret Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 modi Govt performance Mar 30 2014 Addressing a public meeting at Nanded in Maharashtra on Sunday, Modi, the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, said: “If the BJP forms the government after the Lok Sabha election, we will form special courts and take action against MPs (members of Parliament) and MLAs (members of legislative assemblies) involved in corruption cases and facing criminal charges. Have these special courts been formed ? LINK Apr 2014 " As far as corruption goes, we have a judicial system that ensures justice is done. The corrupt and criminal elements in every party must be punished within a year, for which we will create special courts. In this, no party will be excluded. " Within which year ? does that year fall in this decade ? LINK The "Great Tweeter" should read his past proclamations once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalebi_bhai Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 GST passed in Lok Sabha. Now needs to be passed in RS. Shouldn't be a problem either way as JS will be called if it isn't passed in RS. Should be implemented by April 2016. Now, before the theekhi-mirch spin-doctors start digging up the 2011 draft and start their spin-doctoring about NDA opposition to the 2011 draft, below article states the differences: http://www.dnaindia.com/money/report-why-is-arun-jaitley-keen-on-bypassing-standing-committee-for-gst-bill-2082925 Here is Jaitley addressing the LS and providing his arguments: Z0ZJnqHu4Jw People can check the related videos to listen to the entire discussion. The GST councils for states in deciding the rate of GST will comprise of 3 members; union finance minister and 2 state finance ministers as per the 2014 draft. The centre's power in deciding the rate has been reduced and the state's power has increased. First major economic reform. Hopefully LAB follows.

seedhi Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 For all its shortcomings, the economic polices and the turnaround initiated by this govt is a breath of fresh air compared to the UPA govt of slavish Manmohan Singh, a pet dog of the Christian Sonia Gandhi.

BeautifulGame Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Positive move in finally passing in at least Look Sabha .Have to see whether they call Joint session or pass it to standing committee as congress demands. If it is referred to SC then its back to the same old situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
