G_B_ Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 It's all about political compulsions. Modi calling Jayalalitha soon after her aquittal by HC made big news and it developed a perception that Modi doesn't want tough actions on corrupt leaders. BJP is not supporting Swamy in his crusade against Jayalalitha also doesn't give good feel on Modi's commitment againt corruption. Amma is not part of the government....yet. Secondly its not as if Modi influenced the courts. The BJP may not be supporting Swamy. But i dont think they are stopping him either. He is free to do what he wants. She has been acquitted by the courts.

They tried to get rid of him by offering him President of BRICS Bank - he refused.....wants to fight his fights and annoy the Govt :D

BJP is not supporting Swamy in his crusade against Jayalalitha also doesn't give good feel on Modi's commitment againt corruption. MMS and Sonia Gandhi have used Mayawati and Mulayam to pass their bills during UPA regime and they used all kind of tactics for the same. Even though it is incorrect but I do not find this wrong totally if the bill which gets passed is going to benefit India in the long run.Unfortunately in a democracy, you cannot ignore a corrupt if he or she is getting elected by overwhleming majority. Having said that if Modi is going to ignore the corruptions of say Gadkari or Rajnath Singh then that would be a very bad signal and it would be the end of his regime. Manmohan was not a popular leader and did not had a command over his cabinets that is why Kalmadi, Raja, Chavhan looted the country, with Modi atleast the case is slightly different.
rkt.india Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 and with regards to the policies of the BJP and the Congress being the same. I do believe the BJP is more economically liberated under Modi than the Congress. The amendments to the land bill real estate bill etc make it more business friendly. The congress also did not make it a priority to push for bills in an aggressive manner. They could have got support for the GST in both lok sand rajya sabha with the aid of the BSP/SP/Trinamaool in 2009-2010. This is what happens when you have the Gandhis not in the thick of government directly. The process becomes slow. Congress alone didnt have the numbers alone. Even Congress would not want the land bill they made but they succumbed to pressure.

Cricket_Hacker Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Exports contracts 14% in Apr to $ 22 billion NEW DELHI: Continuing its declining trend, India's exports shrank by about 14 per cent in April to $ 22 billion, registering a contraction for fifth straight month. The slump in exports is mainly due to global slowdown, dip in crude oil prices and rupee appreciation. In April 2014, the country's merchandise exports stood at $ 25.63 billion. The last time exports registered positive growth was in November last year when recorded 7.27 per cent expansion. The main exporting sectors, including petroleum products, gems and jewelery and man-made yarn and fabrics, reported negative growth in April. Imports too declined by 7.48 per cent to $ 33 billion, leaving a trade deficit of $ 11 billion in the month under review, according to the data released by the commerce ministry. Oil imports dipped 42.65 per cent during April to $ 7.44 billion. Non-oil imports grew by 12.58 per cent to $ 25.6 billion. Gold imports surged by 78.3 ..

jalebi_bhai Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 http://scroll.in/article/720784/indians-abroad-top-global-remittances-chart-yet-again Kerala's entire economy runs on remittances and tourism. Tbf, they slog in the UAE so fair dues. There is an anna-run cafeteria or grocery at every corner. Even mobile phone trading shops.
G_B_ Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I am surprised pakistan is our third largest revenue of remittances. Whats the story behind that? ISI funds for terrorism or relatives remitting? I am also very surprised the UK is not on this list. Does this include people like my family who are british citizens but remit money to my grandparents? Are we classified as r emitters? Also there is a good chance this 70 billion number, its on the lower side and probably does not take into account hawala rackets from the middle east. not surprising the Indian rupee has fallen over the last decade that remittances have spiked.

amiret Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Absolute must read article - http://swarajyamag.com/magazine/enemies-at-the-gate/ Its a very long read but worth the time spent. IMHO , it is a terrible opinion piece riddled with falsehoods in the 1st paragraph itself. In his desperation to fabricate Strawmen and boogeymen , the author has abandoned all hold on facts & objectivity . The article is the usual right-wing litany of feeble excuses and incessant Whines. All the usual suspects receive the customary mention and apportioned blame ( the west , NDTV ,English-language media,the Catholic Church, The Voters !, pseudo-inellectuals, pseudo-secularists....ad-nauseam.)
diga Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Bettering its own financial targets, the government has contained the fiscal deficit at 4 per cent of GDP for 2014-15 at Rs 5,01,880 crore. The revenue deficit has also been confined to 2.8 per cent, beating the budget target of 2.9 per cent for the last fiscal, the Finance Ministry said in a statement today.

Cricket_Hacker Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 What is the progress on cleaning of Ganga river?
someone Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Since last few days, I have seen quite a few jokes on Narendra Modi's foreign visits.... and all people are curious why Narendra Modi visits so many countries, and what is India achieving from it. . . Narendra Modi is no greenhorn in politics and statecraft. . . He has already achieved more for Gujarat in his tenure as CM there than any Indian state ever had. . . Few hidden (because the main stream media will purposely ignore them) achievements are given below: . . 1. BJP Govt. convinced Saudi Arabia not to charge “On-Time Delivery Premium charges" on Crude Oil – Young Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan & External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj sealed the deal. Saved the country thousands of crores... . . 2. India will build 4 Hydroelectric power stations + Dams in Bhutan (India will get lion's share in Green energy that will be produced in future from these projects) . . 3. India will build Biggest ever dam of Nepal (China was trying hard to get that) – India will get 83% Green energy produce from that hydro power station for free – in future. . . . . 4. Increased relationship with Japan and they agreed to invest $ 30 Billion in DMIC (Delhi – Mumbai Investment Corridor). That's Rs 200,000 crores by today's exchange rates..... . . 5. Increased strategic relationship with Vietnam and Vietnam has now agreed to give contract of Oil exploration to ONGC-Videsh (UPA was not ready to take this at all because they were worried about China – and getting into a conflict of interests on south China sea). The UPA had always been on the backfoot about every aspect of foreign policy. . . 6. Increase Oil Imports from Iran, despite the ban by USA. . Iran agreed to sell in Indian Rupees and it saved our Forex, not just for now, but protected India from future currency fluctuations. India also gets to build “Chabahar” port of Iran, encircling Pakistan. Because we well have exclusive access for our Naval ships in this port. . . 7. India – Australia (NaMo is first PM to visit Australia after 28 yrs), despite Australia being a major supplier of Coal & Uranium. . . NaMo was able to convince Tony Abbott and now Australia will supply Uranium for our energy production. . 8. China leaning President Rajapakse lost elections in Sri Lanka – Remember UPA lost “Hambantota” port development – read latest report of CIA, where they mention RAW has played a major role in power shift of Sri Lanka. Now Modi has confirmed he is visiting Sri Lanka in April. And Sri Lanka has backed out of Chinese contract and shifted to Indian project managers. . . 9. With China, as Trade Deficit was increasing, NaMo forced their hand. Anti-Dumping will come soon so China will invest heavily into India. – China has already committed $ 20 billion Investment in India. That's nearly ₹140,000 crores. . . . 10. On Security – I think adding Ajit Doval to his team is the best decision by NaMo. See the recent tie-up with Pentagon, Israel & Japan. . . Remember I. K. Gujaral as PM stopped RAW’s offensive operations in foreign countries. . Now see how we stopped the Terror Boat and listen to his words … “Any Mumbai like attack from Pakistan and Pakistan will lose Baluchistan!" That's the language of deterrence that I want to hear as an Indian. We won't hit first, but if you do, we surely won't turn the other cheek.. . 11. India approved the border road in the NorthEast and around India- China border – Remember just because of China’s opposition, the ADB (Asian Development Bank) didn’t give us funds during UPA regime and UPA held that file under “Environment Ministry control – Remember the infamous “JAYANTHI TAX "? No one bothered about the disastrous effect on our armed forces. . . . 12. India managed to bring back 4,500+ Indians from War zone in Yemen and also brought foreign nationals of 41 different countries, which put India’s name onto the highest platform globally in conducting that rescue mission – PM Narendra Modi specially talked to the new Saudi Arabian king Salman and told him to allow Indian Airforce planes to fly – as Saudi Arabia was attacking on Yemen and Yemen skies was declared NO-FLY Zone: thanks to this we got an assured clear window of a few hours and guys guess who coordinated this? Ajit Doval, Sushama Swaraj and Gen V K Singh. All in person.... When was the last time you ever heard of ministers involved personally in such efforts that didn't fetch thousands of crores?? Guess the religion of those rescued?? But it isn't secular to mention that most of those rescued from Yemen or earlier from Iraq weren't Hindus at all.. . . 13. India’s Air defense was getting weaker by the day, UPA was very happy to let it happen despite repeated specific inputs from the armed forces, NaMo renegotiated Rafale fighter Jets deal with France personally and bought 36 Jets on ASAP basis. At better than rack rates. No middlemen, no commissions. 14. For the first time after 42 yrs Indian Prime Minister visited Canada not to attend some meeting but as a specific state visit, in a Bilateral deal, India was able convince to Canada to supply Uranium for India’s Nuclear reactors for next 5 years. It will be of great help to resolve India’s Power problems. . . . 15. Canada approves visa on arrival . . . . 16. Till recently we were exclusively buying Nuclear Reactors from Russia or USA and it was much like beggar kind of situation because they were worried about usage of Nuclear reactor for some other use. So only what they opted to give us, we could get. . Now Modi was able to convince France and now France will make Nuclear reactors with the latest technology in India. On MAKE IN INDIA efforts.. with collaboration with an Indian company as a partner. . . 17. During 26th Jan. visit of Barak Obama, NaMo convinced USA to drop rule of Nuclear fuel tracking and sorted out Liabilities rules which now open the gates for next 16 Nuclear power plant projects... Isn't this good enough to improve the lot of India?? .The paid media #Presstitutes will ensure you never get to hear this.Spread the word. It's worth the trouble... Copied from Facebook. There are many things which deserves attention and praise of Modi Sarkar. Thankful for SM, as our biased MSM wouldn't mention it.
mishra Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Allthough dont like TOI for its rubbish coverage any more but still worth read "One year of Modi govt: Making it easy for business" http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/One-year-of-Modi-govt-Making-it-easy-for-business/articleshow/47342032.cms
Sachin=GOD Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Copied from Facebook. There are many things which deserves attention and praise of Modi Sarkar. Thankful for SM' date=' as our biased MSM wouldn't mention it.[/quote'] This is quite good. BTW before blaming media you should blame BJP - they just haven't told these achievements to the public or talked about them when they get a chance on TV/papers. It isn't just media's fault that many people are disappointed with the govt after 1 year - NDA Govt has done good work but BJP has failed to inform the public in a convincing manner. That's been BJP's major failure, apart from the disastrous Delhi campaign, in the last one year.
