rkt.india Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Need not to say that BJP is proving itself to most reckless and irresponsible party of the country. They don't seem to have any sense of responsibility. They now seem to be doing all those things which they opposed or criticized while they were in opposition. Another U-Turn. Opposition opposes most of the things govt. does. That is their job. BJP did the same. It does not mean they will follow it even when they are in govt. If opposition starts supporting govt. on such issues then what the difference between ruling party and opposition. You do not want a criticism or opposition-free govt. Now Congress will oppose NDA govt. on these similar things which they were doing before.
Khalpat Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Ye laga sixer. Modijee vipaksh main kisi ko rahne doge ya nahin. Narendra Modi @narendramodi ·1h1 hour ago Will be in Srinagar on Diwali, 23rd October & will spend the day with our sisters & brothers affected by the unfortunate floods.

We want a critical opposition not an opposition that criticizes. The only job of the opposition is not to score political points - that is not democracy.

Crookbond Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Now' date=' that'sa bit too much.[/quote'] I meant - it is not a democratic principle that the opposition ONLY "opposes" in a democratically elected government. The opposition is also elected by the people of India and hence their duty is to govern not "oppose".
someone Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Geelani calls @narendramodi's visit to J&K on Diwali "cultural aggression" in a "Muslim-majority place". What "azadi" will mean for Hindus. That is very much our future. Expect more assertiveness and intolerance from them.
Yoda-esque Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 That is very much our future. Expect more assertiveness and intolerance from them. Such a sad comment,but spin doctors will find something secular about this as well
FischerTal Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 That is very much our future.

rkt.india Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Modi’s Idea of India http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/25/opinion/pankaj-mishra-nirandra-modis-idea-of-india.html?_r=0
Number Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 As of now, the man can do no wrong. He is here, he is there, he is everywhere! After 10 years of putting up with a prime minister who was in permanent mute mode, and hardly moved out of the confines of his daftar, perhaps it is a good thing that we now have a guy who is garrulous and voluble, hyperactive and on the go. Critics are saying Narendra Modi is blindly aping American presidents who always made it a point to spend time with their troops over Thanksgiving and X’mas breaks. If that is the case, and our NaMo is indeed doing a `me too’, so be it. There he was pumping hands with our soldiers stationed at Siachen, sharing homilies, bonhomie and mithai with lonely men stuck in an icy , hostile post, miles away from their loved ones. It was a gracious gesture, even if the idea was to create extra goodwill, milk the photo ops and generate more votes. That’s what smart politicians do! It is an inseparable part of their job description. As strategies go, this one was superbly timed, as was his visit (and a hefty Rs 750-crore relief package) to Srinagar. Leaders are picked for these very qualities. And even at the risk of sounding cynical, it must be said, a Modi-on-the-move is better than a Modi-sitting-tight. A while ago, I happened to be sitting next to a fauji wife on a plane. Here was a young, modern woman, bright as a button, well-informed, articulate, outspoken and feisty. She spoke about her life as an Army wife with incredible fervour and pride. The mehendi on her hands told me she had observed Karva Chauth. So had her dashing husband, she informed me! It was that kind of a marriage, she said with a twinkle in her eye. They did everything together — they always had. From the time they’d married 20-odd years ago, after a whirlwind romance. I asked about long separations, anxieties and uncertainties. How did she cope when he was away? As it turns out, he had served in Siachen. And in J&K during the worst skirmishes. Being a Military Intelligence man, she never knew where he had been sent or for how long. By then, they had a young child, and any form of direct communication was out of the question when her husband was on a special mission. She had trained herself to wait… to pray… to never give up hope. Like thousands of young fauji wives who believe the Army is their extended family, no matter what happens. Late one night, her husband came back from a secret assignment and knocked lightly on the bedroom window so as not to wake up the sleeping infant. He was wounded on his right arm and face. He had taken a bad hit and could barely move or speak. For the next few weeks, he stayed home to recuperate — even though he was injured, she was just glad for their time together as she nursed him back to health. She talked about another incident when militants in the Valley attacked the home of another Army officer, who returned the fire but was grievously injured. As the militants closed in, two young daughters pleaded with their mother to kill them first, before the militants could get them. Listening to her deeply stirring stories of valour and faith, I thought about our safe, protected city lives. This gutsy, proud woman’s narrative is just one of many. Today, she said emphatically, she has confidence in the new Prime Minister’s ability to motivate a tired and demoralized Army. For far too long, she insisted, our soldiers were made to heedlessly sacrifice their lives, because of political interference and an appalling level of corruption that had left the country vulnerable and weakened. She was glad Modi was taking a tough, aggressive stand. She felt reassured and confident that a zero-tolerance position was being established against those using force against India. And then she told me something pretty chilling. “They were told to DUCK bullets and not fire back! Can you imagine any trained, self-respecting soldier ducking enemy bullets?” she said, her eyes were burning with outrage. Was that the reason her own husband had finally quit the Army…in disgust? She denied it. But it left me wondering…. We treat our armed forces with scant respect. We have consistently ignored the demand for introducing the overdue OROP scheme (One Rank, One Pension). Fauji veterans have waited in vain for its implementation by the newly minted BJP-led government at the Centre, after previous administrations consistently ignored their appeals. It was a black Diwali for them this year. Hapless, frustrated veterans went so far as to return gallantry awards and medals to register their protest.Despite these setbacks, our men in uniform are stoically carrying on. Narendra Modi thanked our brave jawans on behalf of 125 crore Indian citizens, telling them we could sleep well at night only because it was they who were keeping us safe. It is true. It needed to be said. Strange and sad nobody thought of saying it earlier. http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/shobhaadeblog/from-siachens-heights-namo-made-a-cracker-of-a-point-on-diwali/

The other day I was watching the coverage of the opening of the Reliance Hospital where Modi had gone and listening to some of the dialogues (I won't call it reporting bcoz it was clearly written in advance) spoken about Modi by the reporters covering it reminded me immediately of North Korean leaders and about that same kind of personality cult thats being built around Modi now.
Khalpat Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Modi Express' to Ferry PM's Fans From Melbourne to Sydney Over 200 fans of PM Modi will travel 870 km by a special train dubbed "Modi Express" from Melbourne to Sydney for a diaspora event on November 17. The four-carriage train decorated with tri-colour balloons will depart from Melbourne's Southern Cross station for Sydney at 8.30 pm on November 16, spokesperson Balesh Singh Dhankhar of the Indian Australian Community Foundation (IACF) told IANS. About 1,000 such fans are expected to arrive from Melbourne to Sydney. As the train's capacity is just 220, only that many will travel, he said. Mr Modi will reach Brisbane to take part in the two-day G20 summit starting November 15. It will be followed by a community reception in Sydney on November 17 during which Mr Modi will address the Indian diaspora. He will also address a joint parliamentary session in Canberra the next day. Just when we thought Japan and US visit was a superhit. It seems this visit of PM to Australia will be a blockbuster. Modi express from From Melbourne to Sydney seriously :haha:.
