elections, tolerence and development

The recent Bihar elections have shown the dangers that are inherent in the hands of the masses brainwashed for over 6 decades on a steady diet of caste and communal politics. When finally push came over shove, the people of Bihar voted in the same corrupt Lalu, a convicted felon on the fodder scam, proving that caste is greater than development. The tolerance shown by the people towards the corrupt by voting them back vis a vis development promised by the BJP, tells us the reasons why the Vajpayee government was defeated in 2004.

It is for this very reason it becomes even more imperative for the rest of the nation to take the 2019 elections seriously and vote the BJP if they have shown their development prowess. Else does it really matter who wins?

for some statistics of the Bihar elections between 2010(BJP and JDU were together) and 2015(BJP+ and JDU+ separate)

As can be seen, the caste(lalu) and communal(congress) politics were defeated by development politics of the BJP/JDU in 2010 BUT when they separated, BOTH the BJP and JDU lost and the gainers were Lalu and the Congress.

Like I said if the BJP has nothing to show on the development index by 2019 it really does not matter who wins.

Some levity with the leviathan

Post privatisation of Indian Railways (IR), many celebs bought into them a la the IPL, IHL etc.. The result of these new franchises in the IR is..

Bappi Lahiri Express - Pull chain and another chain will be revealed!

Ekta Kapoor express - Will arrive on the same platform 3 times in slow motion

Aamir Khan express - Will run once a year and will collect passengers as per it wish

Salman Khan express - can run on the footpath besides the track !

Manmohan express - the only silent train in the planet - Engineers at Benz are considering suicide as they havent been able to achieve zero decibel in their cars as yet!!

Rahul gandhi express - will get derailed repeatedly

Congress express - Though there are many experienced drivers in each coach - the driver of the engine will be missing (as he will be on a sabbatical )

Amit shah express - Covers the whole country except Delhi

Kejriwal express - will start for sure but no guarantees on reaching destination - in fact train may stop suddenly to squat on the tracks.

Modi express - Will not stop until it reaches its destination

Finally the one train that has the whole world running to india to take its franchise:

Rajinikant express - The train stays stationary - the platforms visit one by one!!

HAPPY SUMMER HOLIDAYS TO ALL

Govt Lebensraum and land acquisition bills..

The current land bill amendment bill has the potential to hand back the momentum to the Congress as they mobilise their grassroots to take on the government. I think this is one battle that the NDA can ill afford with UP and Bihar elections around the corner.

On the other hand if the Governement were to bring a separate act for land acquissition for the specific purpose of defence and such Act were to supercede the land acquisition bill - any opposition politically will not find support at the grasssroots as practically there is no village in this country which does not have one of its members in any of the three armed forces.

The current battle of ordinances and agitation is all about power politics - i think its time this was changed to some simple chanakya neeti..
