Its Final War

Dear Friends

Arise Awake and stop not till goal is reached. We have a war to win.Its our destiny's call to fight the evil. Its not time to be in slumber. Enemy is so close to our fort.

We have to defend 1000s of years of Indian culture, which based on values of  love, harmony, equality, respect . We are defending our great culture that does not differentiate people based on caste, ethnicity, language or religion.Indian is the cradle of  great religions like Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism & Sikhism. We welcomed foreign religions like Islam, Christianity & Jewish without any hostility. India is the only place where Jews were not prosecuted.We believe that each and every Indian are equal part of great Indus valley civilization.

Sadly now patriotism means accepting Brahmin Supremacy. Nationalism is being a part of Hinduism and supporting BJP . Those who were dominating Dalits and weaker sections of society are again back with false promises. They exploit poor people based on caste & religion. Rama observed rajadharma by asking Sita to give Agnipareeksha. So called followers of  Ram give blood bath of innocents in name of his temple.

Those who betrayed Quit India movement are now patriots. Those who killed Gandhi are role models youths.Those who begged clemency to British emperor are now freedom fighters and national heroes. A paramilitary organization which gets funds from Pakistan intelligence agency speaks volumes about nationalism and countering terrorism

Those who escorted terrorists to Kandahar teaches us how to defend our country from terrorists. Those who failed to stop entry of Pakistan military to Kargil speak about intelligence gathering. Those who failed to stop terrorists entering Parliament are saying Congress is a threat to nation's security.

Who are the real terrorists? is it the only Pakistan based militants or homegrown saffron terror? If we look at data Saffron terror is more dangerous than Islamic militancy.Our visionary leader Rahul Gandhi was right to point out this so many years back. ISI backed saffron terror we have seen in Malegaon, Samjhauta Express,Mecca Masjid, Ajmer Sharif, Thane Cinema,Butchering of muslims in Godhra, Systematic elimination of Christians in Orrissa, Radicalization of Mangalore, hoisting Pakistan flag to instigate riots by Sri Ram sene, Rent a riot by Pramod Muthalik, Role in Sikh riots, Babrimasjid demolition... count goes on.

Those who preach they are against corruption never see their party President standing naked.They are silent on rampant corruption in Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. To know their double standards just look how they stopped Lokpal bill in Parliament and not appointing any Lokayukta in most their states. To create an impression that central govt is corrupt they used CAG to give reports on assumptions & policies,  leak misleading CAG reports based on request, Salwar swamy to do a Circus in Ramlila Maidan,another swamy to ventilate all his venom on Gandhi family, created a anarchist Kejriwal by giving logistics and money support, not supporting govt in crucial bills, stopping parliament from functioning.. They fight corruption by inducting people like Kushwaha & Sukhram, Party with difference.

Whats the alternative they are giving to the most respectable and honest economist Manmohan singh?
Sushma - who created Bellary brothers and accused of so close to Dawood Ibrahim, the most wanted criminal in India
Jaitley - A lawayer who was a lier in Bofors case
Advani - Old man who was not aware of sending terrorists to Kandahar and respects Jinnah more than Mahatma Gandhi
Gadkari - The great Social entrepreneur who metamorphosis driver to director
Murali Manohar Joshi - Who cant see any color other than saffron
Modi - who ditched his wife for political ambitions, tomorrow he will ditch our country too. He will fake anything, encounter, followers, growth records, Sadbavana...His thoughts and deeds are china made, pure duplicate. How can a  person  who cant respect wife of another politician respects other women.

One thing is common, no one is having a clean back ground, all crooked politicians, honesty is not in their conduct, to get power they will do any dirty tricks and will align with anybody.

Congress stands for political ethics. Our silence is powerful than opposition 1000 words. We silence our critics by our actions. We are the only party who took action against leaders who indulge in corruption. , RTI, RTE, #aadhar, are some of Congress measure to curb corruption. With highly volatile global scenario too Congress drive India safely, compare it with recession in 2000 at time of NDA regime

Its time our beloved leader Rahul Gandhi takes charge of the party. He humbly rejected the invitation to join Cabinet. Compare it with 6 PM aspirants who stitch their coats for the post of PM from 2004 even though its hypothetical for BJP to rule India. Rahul stands for Humility, Charisma, down to earth,  listener , educated and having global exposure, 9 years of experience in national politics, represents the only national party in India. He is truly  a gentleman in Indian politics just likeRajiv Gandhi.

Now our enemies are attacking us below the belt. One section of media & Sangh pariwar Spreading lies like Sonia Gandhi's medical expense, Shashi Tharoor's wife's rate, Rape case on Rahul Gandhi, Rahul's studies, Sonia Gandhi is 4th biggest politician, Khurshid's NGO took money from govt funds, AK Antony's wife's paintings sold for 28 crores, Sonia Gandhi will die with 6 months, Manmohan Singh is corrupt,Singhvi's CD, etc.

Let us take them on their own game. Let us fight our final battle with all our energy and power. We have a big task to defend India with all its Indianess. We fight British successfully  we fight poverty to an extent, we fight enemies from outside successfully, now it time to beat home grown enemy. The souls of 1000s lost their life in Godhra & Orissa pray for us. Founding fathers of our republic bless us. We will win this battle because in the end truth prevails, Goodness will beat evil, Rahul Gandhi will beat all enemies and will be our Prime minister of India in 2014.
Jai Hind

Is there any Modi magic in vibrant Gujarat or its just a media hype?

Oct 6, 2011, 12.00AM IST

Is the Congress afraid of winning in Gujarat?

Nothing else explains why it lets Narendra Modi tom-tom development when it should have been the Congress banging the drums. The economic achievements of governments before Modi's read like an award citation, but too much secularism has since led the Congress astray. Instead of showcasing its past performance to regain Gujarat, it is obsessed with nailing Modi as a communalist-in-chief. Naturally, it is not getting anywhere fast.

Look also at the good memories the Congress is erasing.

In 1991, a full 10 years before Modi arrived, as many as 17,940 out of 18,028 villages were already electrified. The Ukai plant, which uses washed coal to generate power, was also pre-Modi as was the asphalting of 87.5% of Gujarat roads. In 1980-81, Gujarat's share in manufacturing at the national level was only 16.29%, but by 2000-01 it rose to an impressive 28.71%. Not surprising then that between 1994-2001, well before Modi, Gujarat's state domestic product grew at 10%-13%, way higher than the all-India average.

Since 1980, Gujarat has been India's poster state. Modi had nothing to do with the world's largest ship-breaking yard coming up in Bhavnagar, nor with the setting up of the Ambani refinery in Jamnagar. Well before Modi, Gujarat accounted for 45% of India's petroleum products, roughly 18% of the country's cargo handling, 23% of our total requirement for crude oil and 30% of our natural gas needs from offshore basins.

In addition, Gujarat, since the 1990s, produces as much as 78% of the country's salt, 98% of soda ash and 26% of India's pharmaceutical products. Because of chief minister Chimanbhai Patel's intervention in 1993, port traffic in this state jumped from a mere 3.18 million tonnes in 1981 to 86.17 million tonnes in 2001. In the same period, Gujarat's share of national port traffic increased from 45.36% to above 76% and has stayed there ever since. Modi's decade has not made that percentage grow.

During the eventful 1990s, Gujarat successfully augmented 35% of its power generation capacity. It also closed down five major loss-making public sector units, initiating instead a variety of public-private partnerships. In fact, an early short-lived BJP government under Keshubhai Patel in 1995-96 did some good work too. In particular, he was instrumental in setting up Gujarat's Industrial Development Board, but Modi has blanked him out from public memory as well.

If Gujarat's agriculture is prospering today, it is because the state has begun to receive Sardar Sarovar waters from 2002. Once again, Modi had little to do with the inauguration of this project, but he was at the right place at the right time to take the credit for it. If there was ever a person who reaped what somebody else had sown, then that is Modi.

Gujarat also is not alone in posting agricultural growth rates above the national average; even backward Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh handsomely beat the all-India figure. Finally, it is not as if Gujarat is overall the richest state either; Haryana, Punjab, Maharashtra and Kerala are all much better off, primarily because they have lower rural poverty rates.

At the same time, to round off this number, it must be acknowledged Gujarat was never poor. True, it was a lowly eighth in terms of prosperity in 1960, but it has been at number three since 1990 and continues to hold that spot. Modi may not have self-started Gujarat's development, but he certainly kept the engine running.

In line with this, Modi should be credited for taking a few initiatives of his own. For example, while Gujarat's villages were all lit, it is also a fact that the state's electricity board was bankrupt in 2002. Loans were arranged to overcome this shortfall and power thefts too were curtailed by police monitoring. Gujarat also did well in making the central government's 'Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan' work, especially in connection with the girl child. Yet, the percentage fall in Gujarat's infant mortality and poverty rates are well below the national average.

It is not as if Gujarat's pre-2001 achievements are hard to dredge out of history. But by keeping silent about its successful past, the Congress has added body to Modi's presence. This enables him to keep his people in line by telling them he is about to get angry, but that should not disorient the opposition. Now that Gujarat's economy is all grown up and good-looking, the Congress should admit its responsibility and submit to a paternity test. What is there to hide?

Hefty anti-saffron helpings, on their own, will not do. With a stomach full of that stuff, the Congress can hardly catch up with Modi. In fact, Jawaharlal Nehru taught us that secularism does not win elections, development does. Why then is the Congress doing its best to come second-best by gagging its record of the 1990s? In politics, as in sports, winning is not everything, it is the only thing.

Most recently, Mukesh Ambani praised Narendra Modi for putting Gujarat on the world map. He seems to have forgotten that his father, and Reliance, prospered in Gujarat well before Modi properly entered politics. On the other hand, there is much wisdom in the old Sicilian proverb that we keep our friends close, but our enemies even closer.

In which case, is Mukesh close or closer to Modi?
