Raghav_12 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 IIT Delhi director RK Shevgaonkar quit after he was insulted: Anil Kakodkar NEW DELHI: Nuclear scientist Anil Kakodkar has come out in support of IIT Delhi director saying that RK Shevgaonkar resigned because he felt humiliated and his self-respect was "severely hurt". "I feel very sorry for him. I know him personally. He is a well respected academician and all his students and faculty will vouch for him. I have spoken to him. All of us have some minimum self-respect. In his case it was severely hurt," Kakodkar, who completed his term as IIT Bombay chairman this mon ..

But I am sure he would be dubbed as some agent for speaking against Modi Govt. What I am not sure why this minister Irani is given so much power in this govt. Only three people seems to have all the power in council of ministers. Modi, Jaitley and Irani. (Two of these had lost the election and other had contested from two seats just to ensure his victory in election) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sachin=GOD Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 ^winning/losing elections doesn't matter if the person, like Jaitley, is a good administrator but in case of Irani, she just isn't good enough for such an important ministry. Probably the worst cabinet portfolio allocation in India since Antony got Defense in UPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_B_ Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 NDA has more than 317 seats now.Isnt it? 338 i believe but the term "nda" is a lose term. PDP joined the NDA due to alliance but i very much doubt they are truly NDA. Same with somebody like CBN in Andhra pradesh. The true NDA are probably parties who have remained with the BJP since 1998. Very few of those around. The same thing about the UPA. A lot of the members of the UPA are untrustworthy and will join/leave depending on how the winds are blowing. From what i can tell the BJP are losing vote share in places like Delhi UP from the lok sabha results. But are gaining vote share in places like Telangana, Andhra Pradesh Kerala Orissa and WB. But these vote gains are not enough to cross the threshold into seats. So you may have a situation whereby in 2019 the BJP increases nationally its vote share but manages to get less seats due to losing vote share in its core states.

G_B_ Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 and you dont know how things will pan out general. for all we know there is a congress bsp coalition in UP which does really well or even the BJP and Jd(u) get back in bihar and sweep all 40 seats. Things are fluid due to parties in India making alliances. One thing i do know is that which these numbers the BJP will easily emerge as the largest political party by some margin. They could end up with 220 they could end up with 300. But the nearest challenger is some way away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiret Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 24% for UPA is surprising too high ? perhaps . If i am not mistaken Cong got more votes in 2014 than BJP in 2009 . But ended up with just 44 seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Merlyn Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 NDA voteshare in 2014 was 38.5 so it has inched up by 2.5%.Their seats drop from 336 plus 3 of PDP total 339 to 317.A loss of 22 seats.I am not sure whether they included PDP or not. UPA voteshare has inched up by 1% to 24.And their seats have increased from 60 to 73.Whether this includes NCP we dont know. Its the others who have lost 3.5% of the vote share.But they have some how increased the seats by 6.Have they removed PDP and added NCP here?The left'seats have gone up though. This survey is very vague.Also i expect BJP to do much better and win seats in Bengal/Orissa/Telangana which may still compensate for losses in UP/Delhi/Punjab.

G_B_ Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 too high ? perhaps . If i am not mistaken Cong got more votes in 2014 than BJP in 2009 . But ended up with just 44 seats. they also put up candidates in more seats. Misleading to say Congress got more vote share. If the BJP would have gone alone they would have lost more seats but gained more votes. INC 440 in 2009 getting 28.55%-- 206 seats, % per seat contested 35% INC 462 in 2014 getting 19.3%-- 44 seats, % per seat contested 22.6% BJP 433 in 2009 getting 18.8%--116 seats % per seat contested 23.6% BJP 427 in 2014 getting 31%--282 seats % per seat contested 39.5% Secondly the Congress vote share is more spread than the BJP which is more concentrated. In a first past the post system those with a concentrated vote share always do better than those with a spread vote share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 One year of Modi sarkar: Internal security review The appointment of the NSA: It is a known fact that there has been a lot of trouble brewing within the IB and the R&AW. Lack of coordination led to major attacks in the country which included the 26/11 strikes as well. There were ego clashes and the information that the IB had never would reach the R&AW and vice versa. In Shiv Shankar Menon, the former NSA, one saw an extremely diplomatic approach. After all he was a diplomat of an IAS cadre. However Modi decided to go ahead an appoint Ajit Doval who spent all his life in the Intelligence Bureau and he understood the nitty grittys of the security set up. Today there is a great amount of sanity in the spy agencies of India. All important decisions and inputs go through the NSA and due to this coordination the intelligence agencies are able to ascertain which intelligence is actionable and which is not. Over the past couple of months the sharing of intelligence went down to each and every department. State level intelligence officials, the officials in the army, navy and coast guard all came on board and the sharing of inputs became mandatory. This has led to coordinated action which has helped thwart attempts being made by enemy nations in quick time. The Burdwan blasts: Although this was initially reported as a minor blast in a house in a remote corner of West Bengal, the investigations that followed showed how grave the threat was. It was not a run of the mill module of the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh which was being run at Burdwan. The plan was to attack Bangladesh. Had this module not been busted it would have been an embarrassing scenario for India. The country would have been blamed for facilitating terrorists in a bid to attack a foreign land. The same allegation that Pakistan gets to hear every now and then. Although there was a lot of opposition from West Bengal about the centre dealing with the probe, the government was adamant and handed it over to the NIA. To convey that the blast had major repercussions, the NSA himself visited Burdwan. This was a loud message to the state of West Bengal. It also augured well with Bangladesh which had expressed concern about this module. The NIA too realized the seriousness of this attack and has probed this case in record time. Remember the NIA did not get to the best of starts as a lot of evidence was destroyed and the local police never cooperated at first. Beating the Indian Mujahideen: The Indian Mujahideen was one of the deadliest home grown outfits that India has seen till date. They struck at will and brought a nation to a stand still. Today it could be said that they have by and large been neutralized. While one must remember that the leader of the outfit, Yasin Bhatkal was arrested during the previous regime in Delhi, the new government ensured that most of their modules were busted and this in turn made it very difficult for them to re-group. However the government is well aware that this is an ongoing operation and at no point in time can the security forces take it easy. In addition to this the government has also ensured that groups such as the SIMI which have been making come back attempts have not been entirely successful. The key to this was not to go on a witch hunt for the sake of closing cases. Previous governments have targeted innocents and this has done more harm than good to the cause of fighting terror. The boat from Pakistan: In the month of December 2014, the coast guard intercepted an explosive laden boat from Pakistan. Before they could arrest the inmates of the boat, they decided to blow themselves up. This was questioned by many, but in reality it was a bonafide operation and a threat was thwarted. What is important in this operation is that the various agencies worked in tandem with each other and the information was passed on in quick time. This led to a quick interception of the boat. Similar coordination was not visible during the run up to the 26/11 attack and this cost the nation dear. The coast guard also recently intercepted another boat from Pakistan. This time around the boat was laden with drugs. While this is a one off incident it sends a message to the drug lords of Pakistan that the coast guard is awake. The ISIS threat: The manner in which the government has handled the ISIS threat has been appreciated and also criticized. There are a mindless few who feel that anyone trying to join the ISIS must be brought back from the airport and shot dead. There are many others who also feel that they should be allowed to leave the country. The government instead took a very different approach to the problem. When the ISIS tracking by the Intelligence Bureau began last year, it was found that there were a large number of people who were trying to join the ISIS. By September 2014 the number was 300 and each one of them was placed under surveillance. The IB also launched Operation Chakravyuh through which ISIS sympathizers were tracked. When they tried leaving the country, they were caught at the airport and brought back. Once back the elders of the family were also brought in and these youth counseled about the ill-effects of joining the ISIS. The results were clear and from a huge number of 300 in September 2014 it has come down to a meager 10 to 20 in March 2015. The misses: While over all the approach towards the issue of internal security has been good, there could be certain questions raised about the Dawood Ibrahim issue. The recent statement in Parliament that the government does not know about the whereabouts of Dawood was nothing short of embarrassing. Rajnath Singh had to come out and do some fire-fighting on the issue. First and foremost the government knows that it is not that easy bringing Dawood back to India. He is a strategic asset in Pakistan and the ISI would do its best to protect him. On a lighter note since terrorists in Pakistan are for sale, India could strike a deal with Pakistan just as the Americans did with Osama. However on a serious note, the Dawood issue is being handled differently today. The Enforcement Directorate in coordination with other agencies is trying to track down Dawood's finances in a bid to make him financially irrelevant. Handle NIA better: The Centre would also need to revisit the role of the NIA. Till date there is a tussle each time an incident of terror occurs in a state. The state governments refuse an NIA probe and the centre continues to insist. Finally the NIA comes into the picture three months later when there is not a trace of evidence left. The NIA charter clearly states that it does not need to wait for an approval from the state before starting a probe. However the centre would argue that while that is the law it is not the spirit. However the centre would do well to implement the law instead of the spirit as terrorists normally thrive on such delays. Good work. Still, plenty of work left, but a correct direction for our internal security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 The opinions polls in this page shows one thing clearly that majority of Indian states vote differently on state and national levels. We should not mix both of them together. Thus, for BJP, there are tough challenges to win the state elections. Delhi was a similar case, even today, BJP would win majority of LS seats in Delhi. Bihar is another similar state, they cannot be fooled by 31 seats won in LS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_B_ Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 thats cause people directly vote for Modi i feel and are not too keen (or dont know) about regional leaders. Bihar might be a different case. As BJP were in power for close to a decade. So people probably know Sumo for example. The same thing happens with the congress. People who might vote for regional leaders in state elections vote for the gandhis in the national elections (or that used to happen say on 2004 or 2009, now it might be the opposite) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kind of support Amma has, I was convinced that no one can dislodge her. Same is with Didi in Bengal. But most importantly, Kumari M got around 24% of UP vote. The day Akhilesh gets in terms with Kumari, BJP will be routed from UP and hence central. So all this Modi wave and hard work will amount to Nil.
