ravishingravi Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 What happened to Modi? "If you have noticed of late sympathy for Narendra Modi in this column, you would have noticed right. The reason for my having seen Modi in soft focus was because he articulated an economic vision for India that, I believe, can bring back hope to a country that needs urgently to emerge from the socialist tokenism of the past decade. The schoolchildren who died last week from eating mid-day meals are only a small and tragic symptom of how horribly things have gone wrong in the name of the poor. Tokenism has been the leitmotif of Indian socialism always. So technically we have enough schools, hospitals, food, jobs, pensions and whatever else 'the poor' need. But, in reality, the schools and hospitals are just buildings. Food grain rots in the open and the guaranteed employment has gone mostly to those who already had jobs in agriculture. Half of India's children are malnourished despite thousands of crores having been spent on the largest school meal programme in the world. The greatest 'achievement' of this kind of economic policy is that we have created a handout economy and, because growth rates have halved, it is now unsustainable. So, when Modi talked of a new way of doing things, a change of direction and a vision that had prosperity as its goal, and not just removal of poverty, it sounded like a beautiful new raga to the ears of your columnist. But now, he seems to have changed the subject, and in doing so, lost my sympathy and made me quite worried about how he has understood the message that ordinary Indians are trying to send him. On my travels outside Delhi and Mumbai, I have made it a point to ask people what they think of Modi and, as I have written before in this space, been quite astonished at how much support he has in rural parts. Not because he is seen as a mighty Hindutva hero, but because they believe he can make India prosperous and strong. Nobody doubts his nationalism, his patriotism or that he is a Hindu, so why does he need suddenly to start proclaiming these things? When the first hoardings of him appeared on Marine Drive last week, announcing that he was a Hindu and a nationalist, I thought it was the work of some misguided local knicker wallah trying to curry favour with the new leader. Then, more and more hoardings appeared across the city. Messianic images of Modi gazing into the skies with one arm raised and announcing that he was a Hindu and a nationalist. Why? What for? India is in such dire economic straits that if we get another five years of 'socialist' policies, we will almost certainly go back to square one, or more specifically to 1991. This was the year we went broke and were forced to abandon central planning and socialism. The licence raj was curbed till the Sonia-Manmohan government revived it and drove away investors. So what India needs now is not Hindu nationalism or secularism, but a new economic vision and a leader who is prepared to rectify the mistakes that have brought us to a point when children die from eating school lunches. For a while it seemed to me that Modi could be that leader. But, if all he has to offer is Hindutva, then he is as useless to this country as those who offer us the 'burqa of secularism' when we ask why things have gone so very wrong. By changing the subject, Modi has harmed nobody more than himself. He has offered the secularists and leftists who dread him a big, big stick to beat him with and given them good reason to shriek 'I told you so' daily from our television screens. Already, in Delhi's political circles, there is talk of how he 'peaked too early', and how in the end he is no more than a provincial leader who has not noticed that India is a little bigger and more complex than Gujarat. India's tragedy is that those who are gloating openly over this have nothing to offer us except more of the same. Another five years of 'socialism' and you can be absolutely certain that India will go back to being the economic basket case we were when the economy never grew at more than 3 per cent annually and when, in the name of the poor, every important lever of the economy was controlled by officials incapable of making profits for government companies despite state monopolies, even in such simple areas as producing bread. We, who remember those times, can never forget that gooey, plastic taste of Modern Bread or those endless shortages of sugar and milk. How ironic that the Indian economy then was mocked for having a 'Hindu rate of growth'.

Sachin=GOD Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 All this even after getting your chaddi pulled down ? Lage raho :two_thumbs_up: a few days ago I asked you a question which you didn't answer. Here's the question again - just because I don't know as much about the train burning as you do, how does that mean that I cannot talk about Modi's political ambitions and its impact on the BJP's prospects?
Sachin=GOD Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I did answer that question post#1533 Oh....I missed it. But that post still doesn't answer my question - why can't I talk about Modi's political ambitions (i.e. PM's post) and its effects on the BJP's prospects?
bulbul Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 New Delhi: Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, who until yesterday did not see a clear and reliable face within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to be its prime ministerial candidate, today said he has already given his "best wishes" to Narendra Modi after he was appointed the head of the BJP's campaign committee, a role that effectively makes the Gujarat Chief Minister a frontrunner for the post. Mr Thackeray also clarified yesterday's remarks, blaming the media for misinterpreting it, "What I had said yesterday about the country needing a reliable face was in the context of the Congress which is currently ruling. I was talking about the Congress." Yesterday, after his meetings with L K Advani, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Sushma Swaraj, Mr Thackeray had said that it was for the BJP Parliamentary Board to first decide on the Prime Ministerial candidate and then consult allies like the Shiv Sena and the Akali Dal.

The Outsider Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Looks like the media missed to highlight this bout of idiocy from development messiah from his Pune speech - according to Modi the high literacy in Kerela is not due to the government, but some unheard of organization called Shivgiri Math.

FischerTal Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Source : http://www.dailypioneer.com/nation/ukhand-hid-info-on-modi-kits.html U’KHAND HID INFO ON MODI KITS? Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP election campaign committee chairman Narendra Modi, who had made a two-day tour of disaster-affected areas in Uttarakhand after the cloudburst on June 16-17, has sent around 1,200 tonnes of relief material, sending the Congress-led State Government in a tizzy. Each box, also known as ‘Modi kit’, has 43 items, enough for a family for seven days. Sources said that by sending relief material, Modi has sent message across the State that Gujarat is always present for the help of distressed people and the State Government has no option except to receive the material. Sources said that Congress leaders were saying the donation should be kept secret, but Modi has been sending huge quantity of relief material and taking publicity for it as well. They have been making all efforts to counter it. On Friday, Dehradun district administration received 29 bogies — two from Surat, three from Ahmedabad and 24 from Gandhinagar — carrying 14,150 kits sent by Gujarat Government, at Harrawala station. Each kit weighs 40 kg and has 43 items, including flour, rice, pulse, sugar, tea, spice, soap, toothpaste, brush, oil, comb, candle, match box and utensil etc. Interestingly, officials have been told not to disclose to the media about the relief material. Due to this, they have been asked to unload such kits at the Harrawala station and sent immediately the material to the destination with the help of 80 trucks. This figure is enough to explain how much the quantity of relief material from Gujarat is. Sources said that the State Government has received around 40,000 such packets so far. More or less, everyday they have been receiving two bogies of relief material from Gujarat. Talking to The Pioneer, Uttarakhand BJP in-charge Radha Mohan Singh said that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi sends relief material to all disaster-affected areas. For instance, when Bihar got affected due to floods, he had sent relief packets, also known as ‘Modi kit’. He alleged that the Congress-led Uttarakhand Government is making politics over it. When they send All India Congress Committee (AICC) relief material, they have been sticking AICC president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi pamphlets, but they have been removing the Gujarat Government stickers from the packets. “It shows they don’t want to provide relief to the affected people which were sent from Gujarat.” Interestingly, Congress leaders and workers have been making all efforts to dump such kits at their houses or their relative’s houses. “It has ascertained our claim that the State Government is doing politics on the issue.” Sources said that getting upset with the unending help from the Gujarat Government side, the Congress high command has been consistently sending their representatives in the State. On Sunday, Rajiv Shukla reached the State and will convene a meeting at the Secretariat on Monday. for all those mombatiwallahs who thought gujarat govt only helped gujarati pilgrims

Is it part of the election expenditure or Gujarat State Govt. Expenditure?
FischerTal Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Why's it's named 'Modi Kit' and why does it has photos of NaMo? Is it part of the election expenditure or Gujarat State Govt. Expenditure? if you read the article, it says same kits were distributed during bihar floods..... no elections were taking place then
asterix Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 im sure the stranded pilgrims dont care who it is named after :nice: Yeah but I don't think the focus is on the pilgrims rather than cashing in their unfortunate situation to promote NaMo by media publicity...
Sachin=GOD Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 if you read the article' date=' it says same kits were distributed during bihar floods..... no elections were taking place then[/quote'] The relief materiel is not being sent by/financed by Modi. Its being sent by the Gujarat Govt so IMO it shouldn't have Modi's name.
asterix Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 if you read the article' date=' it says same kits were distributed during bihar floods..... no elections were taking place then[/quote'] Can't be appropriately named 'Gujarat Kit', elections or no elections? Or is he as always, bigger than the state, the party etc?
FischerTal Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Yeah but I don't think the focus is on the pilgrims rather than cashing in their unfortunate situation to promote NaMo by media publicity... Ermm media publicity for Namo in Uttarakhand?? Have you been following the news on how media outlets like TOI went out of their way to distort facts to present NaMo in a bad light? Also, where in the article does it say his photo was on the Gujarat govt sticker?
