Narendra Modi is a dream redeemer



Yesterday I watched Narendra Modi the Gujarat C.M. addressing a gathering of distinguished variegated diaspora of politics, industry, trade & commerce, media, art & culture and other areas of social activities on a T.V. show hosted by a T.V news channel in Delhi. He appeared to me as man of ideas, imagination and innovations.  Atal Bihari Vajpayee has been an orator who would keep his audience spell bound. He was a pied piper to the people but Modi is a dream redeemer. That is what I realized from his address, and later on his interaction with the people there.  The way he talked, took questions and dished out his recipe for national growth and development backed by his own real-time experiences of Gujarat was unprecedented.

Nehru was a dreamer, Vajpayee was an idealist but Modi is a pragmatist par excellence. In today’s context the country needs a leader with a role not only that of an administrator but also manager able to compete globally and steer the economy of the country to new heights and who has clear road map with firm resolve to solve the problems the country faces today. And Modi definitely has the capability to fit the bill.

Bihar Human Rights Commission takes up cases of powerful journalists


A low-down of the analysis of the performance-records of all the Human Rights Commissions at the level of the Centre or the States indicates that they have proved to be white-elephants. The judges and bureaucrats who have been cynosures of the government of the day are accommodated in govt. positions out of gratitude. Why people like Justices A.K Ganguly, A.P Shah, Kapadia and others do not fit into the consideration-zone of the governments? Why controversial persons are appointed chairpersons/members of various commissions? All this game of quid pro quo by governments impairs the sanctity of the institutions they had manned in discharge of their constitutional responsibilities. It is high time governments stopped distributing post-retirement sinecure sops particularly to holder of constitutional posts.

There is no need to have so many commissions if governance is carried out efficiently and without corruption. The Rule of Law if strengthened can effectively obviate the need to run myriad of such useless commissions at the cost of huge public money.  

Today I see that the Bihar Human Rights Commission has taken up the case of a Hindi news paper correspondent allegedly beaten up by a B.E.O. Only a few days back another journalist associated with English daily was treated with alacrity and the local police was taken to task in an exemplary manner by this commission.

Is the Commission not aware of the fact that the electronic and print media run by corrupt and wealthy industrialists or business men are themselves a law unto themselves? Does it also not know that people flaunt “PRESS” stickers on their vehicles? Are some of the journalists not blackmailers extorting money from officers and wealthy people? Was the congress M.P and big industrialist Jindal not black mailed for crores of money by a media channel?

For God’s sake if the Commission is so dedicated to protecting human rights worth its salt to poor Indians money then, go and protect the deprived thousands persecuted by police and administration. Leave these journalists, they are very powerful people. If at all it is interested I will provide evidence about the corrupt press people.

Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid adept at languages



Salman Khurshid as a minister or a politician in public life may not be rated appreciably by some of us. But his speeches in chaste Hindi have potential to enchant and mesmerize his audience. I have heard him articulate his views in Hindi & English equally with great wit, aplomb and panache. His selection of words particularly in orthodox Hindi is superb.
Of course I am not commenting on how he conducts his public business or runs  NGOs. But I really cherish his fluency in the two languages.

B.J.P EMBRACES CRIMINALS



The people in India have Hobson’s choice when it comes to zeroing on political alternatives. In fact today there is no alternative political party fit to win public trust & confidence and run the country in conformity with the true spirit of the Constitution.

All the regional parties are either corrupt or are gangs of waseypur. The national parties are no better either. The current situation is despondent, pessimistic, somber and ominous.

Yesterday the BJP inveigled by its poster boy Narendra Modi has admitted a Gujarat  goon Radadia who was jettisoned by the Congress for brandishing gun at bridge toll employees.

The country should get rid of the Congress, BJP, Aam Admi Party( nothing aam only a bunch of khas riding helpless mango people) and the regional scoundrels in form of parties.

The tunnel of darkness is abysmal.
