Serpico Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Every time they announce a new policy, there is ton of confusion. Farmers with farm bills, muslims with CAA, traders with GST, now military aspirants with agniveer. Why can't they start the conversation slowly, build up some momentum and support for the said policy among public, have some discussions with the stakeholders before announcing them? Everytime its helter skelter, they announce it all of a sudden and say you are either with us or against us and turn it into some war like situation Edited June 17, 2022 by Serpico speedheat, Under_Score, I6MTW and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingravi Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I think there are two issue. Problem of communication. For sure. Then problem of anticipation. If we know that there is a set of piece waiting to cause chaos, if you don't shut them down ruthlessly, no amount of communication will help.

So even before they announce it, they admit that its a war and prepare for shock and awe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anticipation is not preemptive attack. You could roughly guess where the threat was coming from for CAA, Farm Bill or this Agniveer programs. Nuisance values should be shut down before hand. Otherwise no good policy will ever go through. Edited June 17, 2022 by ravishingravi Clarke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they're not even anticipating anything. If they did, they could have added more security in the cantonment areas across the country. They just announced as if they're doing a favour to everyone and everyone will celebrate this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bharathh Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Andolanjeevis is a reality now. No matter what policy is announced there will be violence. It is a proven method now. I wonder how many days till Delhi gets gheraoed again. Clarke and speedheat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 In any large country, making economic policies means some people win, and some people lose out/miss out. Yet, in India, instead of thinking about the betterment of society, these people who miss out think they are also entitled to it and resort to anarchy. Their argument is nothing, not about better policies. The idea that some people and society over them are getting benefits is jealously for them. The idea of competition, free markets is just scary... It's not about the GOI anymore. The fact is India loves the status quo, and any changes is deemed flawed and wrong by default. The idea that everybody needs to be happy for the country to move, has meant that we don't solve problems, and do nothing about it. Today, we are struck with century old problems. After all, doing nothing means no side feels unfair done by any policies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingravi Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I think this is low ticket item compared to farm bill. Govt should withdraw it. This just doesn’t look worth the fight. Clarke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More stakeholders means more veto power and more confusion. That was why many things failed in the past. Today, this government wants a top-down approach which is correct at least on paper. The big players and leaders are committed and consulted to the project, and that should be good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamHindustani Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Very good at communicating whatever we are doing is great. Any opposition is only by terrorists, khalistanis, middlemen, etc etc Go figure the greatness yourself speedheat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The failures gave opposition a means to fight. Farm laws, protest and repeal is the crux of the issue. Now, any opposition follows that toolkit. Raste pe uttar aao aur gormint maanegi.

ash Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Lol what miscommunication. With so many changes and updates that the govt is doing to the scheme, it is pretty clear that this was a half baked attempt without proper study done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current expenditure is very high. People are addicted to the current schemes and find it difficult to move on.

Govt approach is go ahead announce changes and when people protest we will conceed x y or z points and honestly 130cr population that is the only way forward.

Singh bling Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 This government is lucky to have army of crores of supporters which are supporting this government because of Hindutva. They will go to any length to support it. Previous governments had to face protest for no fault of their. Indira Gandhi divided Pakistan in two . What happened after two years, protest started because of inflation caused by oil Manmohan faced protest in 2011 because stupid lokpal and then in 2012 for nirbhaya.both of time government did not introduced anything . Protest happened because of opposition and sake of protest . BJP is lucky not to face protest like those. Clarke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current govt did face protests with comments by nirpur and agnipath. But both seem to be organized. Organized will loose steam after money dries up. Organic protests are a bit hard.Farmer issue was hybrid they did take the bill back in that instance. Edited June 20, 2022 by gattaca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opposition, whose entire vote bank is based on negativity, aka anti-BJP, their own narrative. Whereas, majority BJP supporters are for pro-reasons, for the parties actions and achievements. Thus, there is some disillusionment nowadays among BJP supporters due to party's inactions on the policies. If anything, it's embarrassing to see grown ups supporting likes of RaGa. Can't name a single achievement of him in 5 years, 10 years, or 15 years. And now, Uddhav is the new champion for the opposition. Completely oxymoron and negative vote only.
