Delhi Follows Gujarat: Death of Democracy

https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/2438376986/h35y4r0aw5n7tph9xcat.jpeg

Today Results of Delhi Elections are out and Arvind Kejriwal and AAM Admi Party Seems to be clear winner in this Legislative Assembly Election, Lead in Our 60 Seats in Delhi and with Land Slide Margin,

Complete Majority to Single Party always has its advantages, and with Rise of Narendra Modi During Last 15 Years, Our Elections have become like Presidential Election in United States, So It is About time that we will see Governments with Complete majority, unlike Earlier times when Coalition Governments were of flavors,

I have been resident of Gujarat, and Resides is Surat which is Financial Hub of Gujarat, with Large Diamond, Taxtile and Industrial Trade, Almost from 1995, BJP has Formed Majority Government in Gujarat with Congress Being Opposition party, and No Significant other,

With Rise of Narendra Modi Gujarat Became Model of Development, and BJP Winning Margins Increased Significantly, Narendra Modi Created Very High Standards of Governance and Development Specifically After Godhra Riots, and his work in the time of Natural Calamities has nothing but astonishingly efficient in Gujarat,

But will all of above came absolute Power and Abuse of Power in System, and some where down the Line BJP Lost its Governance Agenda and Only followed Political Agenda, Which includes Favoritism to People from RSS in Different Field, Even including Fields of Medicine and Education, where appointments were done based on Your Contribution to Political party, and Vice Chancellors were appointed out of favoritism, Lands of Philanthropic Education Trusts were Siezed or Tried to be Siezed, and Political Pressure Applied for Different Favors, thus Damaging Sanctity of Such Noble Professions,

However Most Alarming Situation was regional Favoritism, Choosing North Gujarat Over South Gujarat, and Completely Ignoring South Gujarat and Commercial Capital of Gujarat, Surat City and Surat District, Such Favoritism became so Apparent, when Ahmadabad got International Airport, and City of 5.5 Million People is still Striving for Domestic Airport, there are countless Examples, Including Dholera SIR, BRTS, Airport, Narmada Water, Industrial Development etc,

Last Nail in the Coffin for Ignorance of South Gujarat Was having No central Minister Not even Minister of Textiles from South Gujarat, Which is Over the period of time Traditional Post for Surat Member of Parliament, Today neither in Legislative Assembly Nor in parliament, Significant Post are Offered Candidates from South Gujarat,

Even Allocation of All India Institute of Medical Studies is Offered to Rajkot 10 Times small city then Surat,

All of Above was only done Because South Gujarat Gave Rather Huge of Absolute Majority to BJP, and While There were Pockets in North Gujarat, where congress remained Prominent at least in Initial Years of Narendra Modi As Chief Minister,

Now Arvind Kejriwal has been Handed over Same Mandate By Delhi, Time will tell how good he Performance, and Delhi still does not have full state hood and 90% Urban Population, So We have to hope that Arvind Kejriwal Does give a Fair Share of resources and Support to Entire region and Demographics of Delhi, or otherwise it will be premature death of Democracy in Delhi,

This article is written as constructive opposition to Popular Beliefs and has no intention to Defame Narendra Modi, His Work in Gujarat has been trend setter for entire country and is nothing short of Remarkable, His achievements on Narmada Dam, is best thing that has happened to Gujarat in Long time,

MODI (C.M) vs MODI (P.M)

Narendra Damodardas Modi is an epic, a Fairy Tale, How a boy from Modest Origin Became Chief Minister of Gujarat and From There Became Prime Minister of India. Narendra Modi Today is at Epitomes of His Carrier and in My Personal Views he is greatest Statesman of this Century, There are far and few who matches his caliber, Understanding and Oratory, Matched With Excellent Understanding of Political Environment and Presentation and Portrayal of Nation, State, Party and Persona, Few Close Competitor to Modi Could Be Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, Ronald Regan, Churchill,

When Narendra Modi Became Chief Minister of Gujarat, He Was an Unknown Face for the sate, I was in My Collage Years and Politics was just Politics, Students were rather not interested in Politics and was overlooked by Most of US, Scenario Quickly Changed in Normally Business Friendly Gujarati Community,Narendra Modi Came to Initial Spot Light During Godhra Riots, with those riots Political turmoil in Gujarat Became Evident and Thus Rise of a Man You see today As Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi,

After Godhra Riots Things Changed Rapidly and Narendra Modi and His Machinery Went in Over Drive For Image Overhaul, and with that We saw pace of Development, never evident or Known to Indians, Gujarati First time became aware how fast projects can be established and implemented and how Political Machinery Can Deliver Efficient Result in Time Line,

During those time, Gujarat Became Model of Development and things like 24 Hours Electricity, Efficient Water Supply, And Efficient Bureaucracy and machinery became right of All Gujaratis rather then a Distant Dream Few Years Ago in BJP Government,

Narendra Modi Work During times of Great Difficulty of Earth Quake and Surat 2006 Floods Became Example for Management Students,

From 2002 Gujarat Always Voted Narendra Modi and in Each Election His and His Party Majority Increased and In Pockets Of South Gujarat, Ahmedabad, Narendra Modi Achieved Absolute Majority, till 2014,

In 2014 Looking at His work, India Voted him as Prime Minister and a First Non Congress Prime Minister with Absolute Mandate, and We Gujaratis Now Had a Prime Minister Named Narendra Modi,

Height of his Popularity in Gujarat was and is Such, that People like us who were remotely affected with result of Delhi Election, were Praying for BJP Win, And But this time after 15 Years Narendra Modi Lost and He Lost This Election Significantly to AAP and Rather Novice Kejriwal,


Full Statehood for Delhi - Is Delhi Ready ????

Newly Elected AAP Convener Kejriwal has Demanded full statehood for Delhi, Kejriwal is right in his own right to Demand Full Statehood and Creating India's First Urban State, But with Full Statehood, Comes Additional Responsibilities and Economic Challenges, Is Delhi Ready for Full Statehood,

Delhi today is One of the Progressive City in India, and Capital Of India, and From Delhi Central Government Operates India. If Full Statehood is Granted to Delhi, No Central Government would Choose to be Governed By a State Government, and Come under state jurisdiction, it means Delhi Needs to be Bifurcated. Under No Circumstances Central Government Would Allow His Offices, Services, Judiciary, Establishments to Come Under State Government, So Fist Demerit of Statehood for Delhi would be Bifurcation, Bifurcation will not just be of Geography but also will be of Services, Including Water Supply, Prime Most Land, Law Enforcement, Power and Infrastructure,

Bifurcation of Services will Create huge liability for Delhi as State, Till Now all of Delhi's Expenses were billed to central exchequer and is supported by entire India, With Gaining Full Statehood Delhi will lose that freedom, Since States would not pay for other state expenses, Delhi today Lives of Central Government Subsidies and with Gaining Full Autonomy, it has to lose that, Is it Economically Viable for Urban State of India to Do So ??

Revenue Generation in Delhi is Done thru Various Means, including VAT, Entry Tax, Parking Charge and Property Taxes etc, With Bifurcation one of the Major Effect would be on Property Taxes and Stamp Duty, Since Central Government would Take Prime Real Estates Like Lutyens, and Also Removal of Subsidies, So even to Survive Delhi As a State will require to Increase all other Taxes Substantially,

In Addition to Survive, Other Cost like Law And Order, Infrastructure, Metro Rail Project will be funded from State Government which would need additional revenue, Delhi Being an Urban State would be Handicapped in Generation of Such Revenues,

As an Urban State Delhi is not likely destination of For Industries, and With expensive Utilities and Services, It would not be Possible for Delhi to Attract Industries in likes of Gujarat or Maharashtra, Only Skilled and Knowledge Based Service Sector or Non Pollution Industries Can Arrive in Delhi, But its too little and too late for Delhi to Attract these Industries, in the likes of NOIDA and Gurgaon,

Urban State Requires Corporate Structure of Government Like Singapore, and Hong Kong, Which is Not Possible in India, and Rather a Top Down Approach from Government to Survive and Develope, Narendra Modi Style of Governance is top Down, And Kejriwal Idea of Government is rather Opposite, where in AAP would like to Govern Delhi from Mohalla Sabhas and Gram Sabhas, Which will not Succeed In Providing an Efficient and Optimized Structural Government Requires to Run Urban State,

As Urban State Like Singapore, Delhi does not have resources to full fill its own Demand for Power and Water, which would be bought from other states, In fact National Capital Power Station is also in Uttar Pradesh,  Once These Resources Bought at Market Rates from Other States, Central Government will Not Subsidies it for Delhi, and Thus Kejriwal Would not be able to reduce Rates for Power and Deliver Free water and In turn Going Back on his Promises,

In All Demanding Full Statehood for Delhi is not Practical and Rather Used Only for Political Advantage, its now up to Center and Kejriwal to whether He Wants to Be Mayor of Delhi, Or Chief Minister of Delhi State,

But All in All, it will be Delhi would be bent with Inflation, high Land Prices and Uncertain Law and Order Environment if Granted full statehood,

Black Money - A Hoax



Black Money!!!!! Reality or Hoax
  

  India today and swiss leaks today Published 1195 names of Individual with Unaccounted Money in HSBC Switzerland,  It includes some of the very interesting names, Like Ambanis, Barmans, and Few Politicians, 

This Entire Episode Raises Some questions, While timing of this Is Questionable, This leak is exactly timed after Delhi Election where first time in from last year BJP seems to be on Back foot and Most Probably Narendra Modi, Wont be winning, At this time with Weakened BJP it is needless to Say that there is Political Uncertainty in Large State Like Bihar, 

Another Question is Name Involved in this Leaks are to big and Amount Corresponding to them are to small, For Example Mukesh Ambani has Mainitained Balance of 26 odd Millions in Swiss Bank for Long and same is with his Brother Anil Ambani, and Both of them has their original address in their account, Now this is No Fool who would like accumulate Illigitimate Money would do so, Also For Ambanis, 26 Million USD is Like Pocket Change, they would certainly not be interested in keeping those accounts for tax evasion purposes, 

Even with Special investigation Team Investigating those charges, it will take time to Actually find reality, In case it is ever disclosed, it would be very hard for BJP, In the wake of AAP Gaining Majority in Delhi Elections, To Convince Voters about their intention in Black Money, it has become Catch 69 Situation for BJP, If they go all out and try to Convince Voters that they are Investigating the charges then it will be interpreted as they have been sitting over this for last few months, and if they choose not to comment then it means that they are in coalition with these entities, 

however in both ways, BJP has to Lose, and in wake of Bihar Election this means that BJP will not support Current Chief Minister Manjhi or neither Be able to Remain Silent on Development in Bihar Assembly, or Try to Create environment for new election in Bihar, 

All in All it BJP who will be Defending,
