Please do not support Anarchy. It kills nation from within. It leads to civil wars. Anarchy dooms your future. India is toooooooooo big a nation for experimentation. Unproven Rahul, Anarchist Kejriwal or Communal Mulayam etc., are too risky.
I tell my friends to trust #NaMo4PM. Once you read this fully, you might agree with me.
Activism saying everyone is chor is good only on streets. But you need a govt for security, infrastructure, finance etc. If you don't vote for a quality party that can form government, it is as good as not voting. And those who don't vote also need infrastructure, healthcare, education, jobs, security, services and more. So please pick the least dangerous and most effective choice.
Always vote for a party that helps in job creation. India needs crores of regular jobs and Self-employment type, and not the useless casual jobs like MNREGA. A govt should simply play a referee, rather than being an employer. It already has crores of government and public sector employees to feed, so it definitely does not need more.
Those who came to job market between 1950 and 1991 were screwed. Four decades of socialism and exessive populism of Nehru, Indira and Rajiv had emptied India's treasury and pushed it to bankruptcy. I clearly remember how the 1980s youth were so frustrated and always abusing the system and government. Mindless and excessive socialism had killed private jobs. Please don't let India slip back to it.
India has over 17% of the world's population, but is a part of under 2% of the world's trade. That's a huge problem and a clear result of failed socialistic economic policies. Support a pro-trade and pro-capitalist leader like Narendra Modi for your future. I am convinced that among the choices we have in front of us today, he is the best when it comes to creation of jobs, boosting international trade and attracting investment to India.
Watch some 1970s or 1980s films in most Indian languages:- Dictator leaders, anarchist system and jobless youth in a crime prone society. The much celebrated "Angry young man" was a product of that failed system, while many other developing countries overtook India by miles. Don't let India slip back to such mess. Making a profit was a sin during Indira Gandhi's 1970s when the upper tax rate was in 90% or more!! Can you believe it? If you earn Rs.10,000, you pay taxes well over Rs.9,000! Such system encouraged black money, hawala and in turn serious crime.
MNREGA kind of casual job creation using our tax money is also fundamentally wrong. A 25 year old, who just moves stones from one end of the road to another for Rs.140/day, develops NO skills for a productive future job. And worse, many get paid moving any stones either, due to severe corruption. I am from a generation which saw liberalization and global trade revolutionizing job market. High paying private jobs are the ONLY way forward.
If we do not ensure a Modi win in May 2014, India may slip back to the horrible 1990 and 1991 situation - begging the IMF, pledging gold, facing humiliating conditions and more.
It hurts me when I see folks in 20s wasting their time supporting socialists and anarchists, killing their own future. Always, always remember - If a govt gives something free or at subsidized rates, it takes away YOUR own money meant for infra, security, research, jobs or healthcare.
A government should not work on creating jobs as it is not trained to do that. There are millions of private entrepreneurs who can create jobs. A government must just sit back and support them. Take an example that I have watched right in front of my eyes. 20 years ago, Bengaluru had less than 10000 IT jobs. Today, more than 4,00,000 IT/BT/BPO jobs, plus another 10,00,000 supporting jobs. The city exports Rs. 1,40,000,00,00,000 worth of software earning India a huge cache of valuable foreign exchange. That's the power of private jobs when governments just sit on the side with regulation and infrastructure development.
I hope you will make the right choice in 2014.. Say no to anarchists.. say no to the socialists.. say yes to responsible capitalists and pro-trade folks. Yes, they may not be perfect, but here is the bottom line. If your son, daughter or some other young family member can earn Rs. 20,000 as the starting monthly salary, the monthly subsidy of Rs.200 for water, Rs.600 worth of free power, 30 KG of rice at Re. 1, free mixie, and other stuff just does not matter. Creating and sustaining jobs is the best way a government can serve the society. That's the ONLY way to remove poverty. Everything else is just sloganeering..
Today, I was discussing with a soft-spoken friend. The topic was the most current hot topic now-a-days. It is nothing but the English media hype for a relatively insignificant political entity like AAP, that has mere 0.68% of assembly seats in India.
And he gave some really good pointers. From that discussion, here are five category of questions to anyone who supports AAP or considering a support.
1) Arvind Kejriwal and some key AAP leaders have connections to foreign funding, via avenues like Ford Foundation. And Ford does not have a good image in India. Why do they hide or downplay their Ford funding?
Read the most reputed teacher, Prof. Vaidyanathan questioning: Is India safe–What is Ford Foundation If you want a leftist ask the same question, here is Arundhati Roy stating: "the main reason why I am is so skeptical of Anna’s movement (now AAP avatar) is because it was a ‘copy book of the World Bank agenda’.
And remember the noise about NGOs to be kept out of Janlokpal ambit?
2) Fighting corruption is a noble cause. But at the expense of compromising on naxalism, jihadi threat in Jammu and Kashmir, flirting with communalism, to name a few. If you want national space, you need to be clear on contentious national issues.
Why disrespecting a court decision on Batla encounter? Why soft on maoist violence? Why soft on Congress CM's corruptions? And many more relevant national issues.
Similarly, there is another set of 10 very direct and clear questions to Aam Aadmi Party supporters. Most have no answers for these critical national interest items.
How could anyone support Prashant Bhushan, who is openly anti Indian army, talks softly on Jihadi terror and openly supporting separatists who want to break India? Isn't his statements exact replica of Pakistani and ISI's lingo across the international fora?
Kejriwal & Aam Aadmi Party have made a push for Economic Policy that we left behind in 1991. i.e. Policy of Subsidies.
They offer no fresh, meaningful, productive idea. They have none, can offer none. They have Zero Experience of Governance. They stand to lose nothing. Only India stands to lose because of such Worms & Germs.
Arvind Kejriwal's methods are so medieval.
For instance, the attractive sounding schemes like “junta darbar”, which uncannily resembles the erstwhile kings’ modus operandi in the role of “dispenser of justice” through their diwan-e-aam darbars. Compare them with 21st century methods of Narendra Modi, which work.. actually work very well!
Public grievance address system: Medieval mode versus 21st century approach
4) Coming to pretending or misleading people.. Why does Kejriwal do it so often?
5) Why does AAP indulge in Congress-BJP bhai bhai nonsense? Now that it has formed a government in Dilli with Congress support, popularly known as AAPCON govt, this bhai bhai claim sounds so silly.
How did voters who had vitriolic hatred for the Congress suddenly agree to support Kejriwal’s tie up with that party? Simple. the entire operation is focused on stopping Modi's march.
Coming to clean politics, Over Rs.24,00,000 of expenses were under-reported by Kejriwal's AAP from their pre-election musical concert. Are they any different from the people they snub?
Summary:
Finally, there is a clear 10 mantra collection, called as NaMo Mantras in here. When preferring a party in 2014 election, keep these 10 mantras in mind. Even though that presentation is clearly pro Narendra Modi and BJP, you can decide in favour of anyone you want. But your nation's future at stake. Make a judicious and well thought out choice!
If you still need to think, read through or see/hear, all the links provided above. For a person with "Nation First" intention, there will be ample clarity after going through them.
AAP is the latest novelty factor in India. TV Media is going 24*7 abuzz with how cool the bunch of activists turned politicians are. Print media is writing laurels for "aam aadmi" finally governing Dilli. Media "pundits" are going ga-ga as to how Arvind Kejriwal's phenomenon will be changing India's political landscape, dislodging the established players like Narendra Modi. And social media's AAP fans are all out to prove how great is this new find for India.
And then I asked after one week of Aam Aadmi Party's government in Dilli, to list out some of their lies, and outright u-turns. Within 2 hours, I got enough material to write this blog. These were tweeted mostly with #AAPLies hash tag on Twitter. Since they are coming in large number, you can check out the tweets with that tag, for the latest info.
All the material provided here are courtesy my Twitter friends. If any item has untruth or half truth in it, please post a comment with the correction. I will review it.
Here we go.. listing the top 10 sections of lies and u-turns.
Section 1: Master lists
Tweep @bechaara openly challenges folks to counter him, after listing some #AAPlies.
Arvind Kejriwal's famous lies get exposed, amongst others: "I will never fight elections in my life" "I don't want to hold any post in my life"
Then @shaksingh shares an elaborate list of 15 #AAPlies.
He's quite well versed with these topics, so feel free to challenge him for links, if you feel any of these are incorrect.
Then @ArinKamath shared 5 key u-turns of AAP, proving that they are not necessarily AAM. The most damning one is the #AAPCON government they formed with Congress support.
Section 2: AAP Taking Corrupt Congress Support
@RPrasad_7 asked: Why AAP is cheating people that BJP has offered them support? Only Congress offered support, not BJP particularly, when you focus on Congress giving unconditional support to form the government.
Another friend shared a video of Arvind Kejriwal & Yogendra Yadav being caught red-handed by Subramanin Swamy. Hilarious.. watch it.
Then @Purple_Truth shares the real truth of AAP & Congress relationship, poupularly known on the social media as #AAPCON government.
@SachsR also shared a similar #AAPCON drawing, this time from the funny Amul Baby. "Hand in hand, Aam in Arm?"
Section 3: AAM Hesitating On Sheila Dikshit Corruption Cases
@nationalizer shared the most damning thing about how AAP has connived to save Sheila Dikshit's Congress corruption.
Another similar expose shared by @chotivalebaba on Dr. Harsha Vardhan's charges and Kejriwal making a disgusting u-turn.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qxI_xdOUuY
@dreamthatworks asked.. AAP said Congress corruption will be probed in 7 days and it is alraedy the 8th day, nothing happened. Why "Mr. Clean"?
@LostProphet77 asked the same. "Sheila Dikshit would be in jail within 7 days of AAP forming Delhi Govt". What happened?
Section 4: "Free" Water
@IamSrivatsanV saved an AAP Busting detail about water.
@gk125 asked - Is AAP Delhi water formula full of leaks?
"The people of Delhi may be in for a rude shock, following the
new water pricing formula of AAP. They may have to shell-out 2-3 times
more. Where meters are faulty, cost will be even higher"
@IamSrivatsanV shared the Kejriwal's waterfront by Surjit S Bhalla, which talks about Reverse Robinhood episode where poor will pay for rich people's water consumption.
@ArinKamat shared the so called terms and conditions which make the application of this free water stuff difficult.
Of course, by now, most AAP supporters will be trying to find some material against BJP, instead of trying to defend the drama of AAP.
Section 5: Electricity
@IamSrivatsanV shared a comparison with older tariff. Unless you are very carefully watching the electrical meter, even one unit above 400 units can make you pay more. So this is not truly a power tariff cut that aam aadmi would understand or monitor closely.
Section 6: Rakhi Birla's car being "attacked"
@PawanDande claims, Rakhi Birla planted story of attack on car, while it was hit by cricket ball, even boy apologized, still nautanki & FIR
Why this drama Rakhi ji? First day shared auto, then sleeping in assembly, then getting Innova car, then no security claim, then this drama for personal car...
Section 7: AAP's Anjali Damania, known as "land shark" on social media.
@ArinKamath shared the details from Kejriwal's Headlines Today show in March 2013 and what was actually on AAP website (contradiction).
@gk125 shared the same video where Kejriwal lied about Anjali Damania. In fact the person who asked the question, tweeted to me on the same!
" She is a volunteer" drama exposed.
Now the same "volunteer" Anjali, who is accused of being a land shark, against whom Kejriwal refused any probe internally, is Nagpur AAP's candidate in Maharashtra. If Anjali had some self respect, she would not be contesting from the party which disowned her on national TV!
Section 8: Election Commission Clean Chit
@rameshnswamy shared the truth that EC never giving any clean chit, as claimed by AAP after getting exposed with that Sting operation against Shzia Ilmi, Kumar Vishwas and a few more.
According to Election Commissioner HS Brahma the commission has not
verified the veracity of the tape. He also added that unless the AAP
challenges it legally, no clean chit can be given to it.
The party had earlier claimed that the EC had given a clean chit to the
party and declared that the sting operation CD was doctored.
Section 9: Where is JanLokpal?
@ArinKamath asks, where is Jan Lokpal? This was asked on 31st December, but we can understand the delay in forming the government. At least by 6th January some movement should have happened? That too after using Anna Hazare's name in spite of him clearly saying don't use?
Section 10: No Government Car
Coming to Arvind Kejriwal's famous tweet about "we never ever" part of government transport.
@masala_chaas busts that lie too quickly.
In Apr 2013: See the conditions in this video, put by AAP for giving tickets.
And now in Jan 2014, giving gas guzzling Rs. 15 to 18 lakh (upper range) costing, foreign brand lavish cars to AAP ministers.
NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party Ministers of Delhi, except Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, were today given Toyota Innova cars as official perks.
A number of ministers, including Manish Sisodia, Rakhi Birla and Saurabh Bhardwaj, came to Delhi Assembly complex in official cars.
Asked if coming by such cars was reflective of practising austerity, Kejriwal downplayed it saying the party never said it's ministers will not use official cars.
How convenient! I have 100s of other tweets and information shared by online friends. But this is enough for now..
I came across this week, a survey on the new Aam Aadmi Party's website. 47% of Dilli folks want to give AAP a chance.. Impressive for a new kid on the block.
But the surprise did not long for long. Started reading it through a bit.
Aam Aadmi Party commissioned Cicero Associates(www.ciceroassociates.in),
a New Delhi based consultancy firm, specializing in public opinion
polling and survey research, to carry out the second round of a Delhi
wide survey of a representative sample of Delhi’s voters. The first
wave of the poll was conducted in February 2013, while the data
presented here is from the second wave.
Wait a minute.. we have seen this Cicero name somewhere on Twitter. So it took me to the second step. The website of Cicero Associates. Strangely, they are still "upgrading" the most vital piece of their website, the people who own the company.
That made me more curious, because that survey company claimed that their advice is based on results, and not intentions. If the intention is not important, why is the team page empty? Started searching.
Twitter was abuzz with charges about how AAP is a Congress front because
it chose a company, which has a Congressman as one of the two
directors. In the third phase of
the survey, AAP had given itself a 28% vote share and Kejriwal as popular preference for the post of chief minister.
A
link leading to an article “Proof that Aam Aadmi Party is a front of
Congress, survey is false" on a web-based newswire site claimed that one
of the two partners of Cicero Associates & Consultants is an office bearer of Delhi
Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC). The DPCC website on Wednesday showed
Madhur’s photo and his Badarpur address.
By now it was truly amusing to me.. How can a company seemingly owned by a Congress person (party or fully), can do a survey projecting "massive" opinion in favour of the new kid in political arena, this AAP? The next step was even more better.
For the past few months, we are being bombarded with a survey in
which Aam Aadmi Party has claimed victory in Delhi elections. The survey
was done by Yogendra Yadav, using an unknown agency called Cicero
Associates & Consultants Private Limited. The numbers claimed in the
survey were hard for any agency to achieve. They claimed that the
survey was carried out between September 5 and October 5 among all 70
assembly constituencies, covering 1,750 polling booths and 34,425
respondents.
As a data scientist, I am quite aware that modern market research is a
science and the results cannot differ much from other surveys done by
reliable agencies like AC Neilson. Conducting more than 1,000 surveys in
a day seemed to be a no mean feat.
The website of Cicero Associates, which was registered just on May 30, 2013, lists their address as A-166, First Floor,
Defence Colony, New Delhi, Delhi, 110024. So the company did not have a
public face before May 30, 2013. The snapshot of the page on that day by
Archive.org
lists a freshly hosted domain. I am quite familiar with Delhi and know
that A-block of Defence Colony cannot house so many field agents to
conduct a massive survey. So I decided to investigate.
Registrar of Companies data reveals that the authorised signatories
of Cicero Associates are Sunit Kumar Madhur with the address of GA-34,
Block GA, Pulpeladpur, New Delhi 110 044. The other Director is
Dhananjay Joshi with the address of A-7/3 SFS Flats, Saket, New Delhi
110 017. An authorised signatory is the Karta Dharta of the company. A simple Google Search reveals that A-166 First Floor, Defence Colony
has the office of Langjobs, Interpreters India and other businesses. It
certainly didn’t look like a market research entity.
Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee Sitelists one of the Directors of Cicero, as a General Secretary - Shri
Sunit Madhur, GA-34, Pul Pahladpur, Badarpur, New Delhi-110 044,
9311012007 as a General Secretary. His own twitter profile describes
himself as: “Congress worker. Entrepreneur. Only the people who have to
compromise& be pragmatic in their daily lives know the value of
idealism and romanticism....”
A name and address like that is unique so both are the same set of people. The other Director is a property dealer running a firm called Intouch Associates revealed from his profile at 99acres.com.
For Aam Aadmi Party, which is dead against Congress, it seems quite
strange that it has to choose a dummy market research company, which is
owned by a known Congressman to conduct a survey!
By now I was clear as to what was all this fake survey and worse.. the role of AAP as the B team of Congress as so many people on Twitter say. I initially didn't pay much attention to such theories, but looking at the details here, it was not hard to believe so any more. And this screenshot of research posted on that website, with data from Ministry of Corporate Affairs website confirmed that they had indeed a perfect research done. And you can spot at the left bottom corner of the image, a clear solicitation to get someone to youth or main Congress party. Download and zoom the image if you wish to read thoroughly.
And by the time I got to the twitter account of this Sunit Madhur, Director of this mysterious Cicero Associates, it was probably late. He has no bio there.
Now that you have read till here.. tell me honestly. If you were going to topple Sheila Dikshit's Congress government, why would you get your survey done by a firm owned (partly or fully) by a Congress regional General Secretary? Will you get a survey done by a firm owned by BJP General Secretary (hypothetically), if trying to topple Narendra Modi's government in Gujarat? Will you get a survey done by AIADMK affiliate's company if trying to challenge Jayalalithaa in Tamil Nadu?
Whom are you trying to fool with such "farzi" surveys, Mr. Kejriwal? Worse.. are there still some people who believe that there is no mysterious "hand" behind this sudden hype of a new kid on the block called AAP? :)
Today is Mysuru (Mysore) Dasara. After 9 nights worshiping Goddess Chamundi, the 10th day or the Vijaya Dashami day, Mysuru city in south India, gears itself for the world famous Dasara (Dusshehra) procession.
Here are some tidbits about this procession, that I am lucky to have witnessed many times. Some of the pictures posted are rare, and don't forget to click on them to see the full size spectacle.
The world famous Mysuru Dasara procession is happening continuously for 403 long years! This picture is from 1930s. The Dasara festivities started in 1610 CE.
Image: itslife.in
Here is a rare video footage of Mysuru Dasara 45 years ago, when the Maharajah was at the helm of pooja affairs. Now Maharajah's family's private Dasara is more symbolic, as the state of Karnataka has taken over the dasara celebration as Nada Habba (State Festival). My mother's generation people say that the grand spectacle of 1950s and 1960s is not there anymore, but hey.. life moves on!
For the 9 Navaratri nights plus the finale Dasara procession night, Mysuru palace is lit with 1,00,000 bubs. If you have never been to Mysuru, definitely visit during the next September/October period. It will be very crowded, but the spectacle of a 1 lakh bulb lit palace is worth seeing from all the four sides.
Image: blogspot
To know a bit of history of what is Mysuru Dasara, what are the local practices, an ever green Kannada song "Mysuru Dasara, Eshtondu Sundara" from 1970 will help. The dance is a bit funny , but lyrics are very meaningful.
Elephants are the main attraction of the Mysuru Dasara. The finale is called Jambu Savari (Jambu meaning elephant, Savari meaning Ride). It literally means the Goddess Chamundi's Pratima (idol) is taken for a grand ride on an elephant. During earlier years, the Maharajah or King also would sit on an elephant, but that does not happen anymore. And since is a world famous event with lakhs of people turning up, 14 disciplined elephants are finalized after practice walks in city. The lives of these elephants is great. They are pampered for most part of the year in thick jungles and all they have to do is to behave well and walk elegantly during the all important Navaratri festival.
The mock drills are to ensure that only the elephants with patience and people friendly attitude are picked, as even one elephant going rogue can be very dangerous during Dasara.
Image: newindianexpress
Then one elephant is made the king of the group. For the year 2013, Mysuru Dasara's main elephant carrying the 750KG golden ambaari (howdah) of Devi Chamundi, is Arjuna. He is 45 years old and weighs a massive 5600 KG!
Image: TheHindu
Arjuna is accompanied by two female elephants on either side, to keep him calm and focused. He has to bear the tremendous weight of 750 KG+ for nearly 3 hours, and in the middle of lakhs of humans all around him! That involves tremendous training.
Mysuru Dasara is among the world's longest running traditional processions. From 1610 CE, EVERY single year, on a grand scale! Here is a panoramic view of the elephants marching with Goddess Chamundi, amidst a sea of humans. Remember, each of these elephants weigh 60 to 80 times an average human!
Image: halobackwaters
Mysuru Dasara is like a mini Indian Republic day parade in Dilli. It brings out 100s of rare cultural and folk dances and performances. Here is one snippet.
Image: akamaihd.net
Finally, after an almost full day of fun on Vijaya Dashami day through the streets, Mysuru dasara culminates with a torchlight parade & show at a ground.
Image: TheHindu
If you haven't seen Mysuru Dasara in person, mark your calendar for the next year. This is one spectacle in India, that you should really see. A combination of centuries old culture and tradition, that is rolling year after year entertaining the people. This is how the city glitters during Navaratri nights!!
Beyond his fan club, this is how Rahul is described by Indians today.
Social Media calls him a Pappu – and
it is not for no reason. You will know why after reading this writeup fully.
R Jethmalani frowned at him as a
Disaster – This one speech will prove Ram J 100% right.
Youtube comments term him as a retard –
And that is not longer an insult. You can see it for yourself why.
S Swamy “praises” him as a Buddhu –
He has proved he's way beyond a Buddhu, in this speech.
VS Achuthanandnan laughed at him as an
Amul Baby – This speech's logic will even make kids chuckle.
For now, let's politely call him a
stand up comedian.. an unintended one, but that's OK :)
There are three parts to this writeup. The Video, Serious questions and Humorous comments. Ideally go in that order, but if you are pressed for time, skip the first or even the second section to run to the third section.
Section 1:
Firstly, Watch this video of Rahul Gandhi's
speech at the CII with hilarious scrolling texts, and you will know
why we want to call him a stand up comedian. He turns into a
joke by himself, makes no sense, has no oratory skills and
makes a mockery of himself by going all around with zero meaningful
message delivery.
Rahul Gandhi Epic Fails Marathon at
CII (Chamber of Indian Commerce)
Section 2:
After I made the mistake of listening
to the entire video, a hilarious mistake though, let me ask Rahul
Gandhi some serious questions. I swear to God, I could not make head
or tail of what he was saying, so these are honest questions of a
confused listener. If you have a chance to meet Rahul ever, as he has no presence in the social media directly, please
pass on these questions to him and educate us about his answers.
1) Dear Rahul Gandhi, What is India?
Rahul: “There is a tendency to
look at India as a country. In our everyday life we see India as a
national structure. But if you go back slightly more than that, go
back a hundred, two hundred years, you would find that India is
energy, it is a force. If you go back a thousand years, two thousand
years, you would find that force came from our rivers, Ganga, Yamuna,
Saraswati. We worshiped these rivers and the reason we worshiped
these rivers was because that is where our energy came from, and
everything we had was built on these rivers. Now we have gone way
beyond that. We have built structures that are allowing this energy
to rise, to explode. And it’s an honour for me to be here because
as this energy moves from India and goes abroad, you are the cutting
edge. You are the people on the first line. You are the people who
are our ambassadors. You are the people who tell the world what this
energy is about“
Confusion:
Dear Rahul, if India is not a country, but a national structure,
which was energy 200 years back, also a force 200 years back, was the
energy of rivers we worshiped 2000 years back, and now this energy is
about to explode, and it will move abroad via the cutting edge first
line of business people (the audience), who are also the ambassadors,
what should they tell the world India is?? Can you come again?
2) Did anyone in the world think of
India in 1991?
Rahul: “Over the last couple
of years, you have done a tremendous job. The image of India
has
changed. I went to University in 1991, and I remember, nobody thought
of India.”
Clarification: Rahul, I don't know if you recall properly while
getting into that 'unnamed' university in 1991, but I was old enough
in 1991 to absorb the world views clearly. The world was laughing at
India that went bankrupt by 1990. Yes, the image was not positive, but the world thought of India daily. It as even projected as a country just about to implode into a balkanized Asian region. Between 1990 and 1992, India was
forced by all the major powers of the world, through World Bank and
IMF, to get rid of the socialistic hurdles setup by your grand mother
and great grand father. We call that now as an economic reform, but
it took India a global shame of pawning its gold in London, to make
balance of payments during that period. So dear, the world very much
thought of India, but with lots of pity, thanks to how your family
ruined India's economy by then. And the next phase is happening now
with falling Rupee under your mom's government.
3) Rahul, how do you describe nights
in India?
Rahul: “It was a dark night
some years ago when my team and I got on the Gorakhpur”
Clarification: Dear Rahul, nights
are dark everywhere in the word, keeping aside the artificial light
or moon light :)
4) Rahul, how long does it take to
travel to Mumbai from eastern UP?
Rahul: “from the dust of
Gorakhpur to the glitter of Mumbai. Took us Thirty Six hours. It is
called an Express!”
Question:
Rahul, even in 2012-13 if it takes 36 hours to travel 1650 KM, and
you sarcastically call that an “express”, shouldn't the blame go
to your family that has ruled India for most part of these years
without any significant improvement in the train speed?
5) What is Rahul's idea of the
“spirit” of India?
Rahul: “I spoke to a young
Muslim boy setting out to start his life. He had no idea what work he
was going to do. I asked him, “Boss what happens if you reach
Mumbai and there is nothing for you to do?”
(He said): “If I
reach Mumbai and there is nothing for me to do, I'll get on a train,
I’ll go to
Bangalore.” That is the spirit of this country.
Forward moving; brave. ”
Explanation: Dear Rahul Gandhi, that is not called spirit of
India. First of all a young man leaving home with no destination in
mind, is a shameful state of poverty in Uttar Pradesh from where you
and your mother are MPs. Secondly, what you are describing as
“forward moving and brave” is actually the desperation of the
poor to escape poverty in their small towns and villages, due to
failed economic policies of successive governments in India, and most
of them ruled by your party. Be ashamed!
You would have
understood that young man's desperation only if anyone in your family worked for money in a regular job, during the past 4
generations. I am talking about 10 to 20 years of productive employment, instead of living off tax payers money.
Sorry for being blunt, but you would have understood his poverty if
you worked for even 10 years to earn a living in the fiercely competitive Indian job market.
6) Rahul, how do you describe
monsoon early morning in Mumbai?
Rahul: “4’o clock in the
morning, we walk off in the galis of Bombay, monsoon season, feet
were going into puddles.”
Query:
Sir, if there are puddles even in India's financial capital, can you
imagine how much “Bharat Nirman” has happened in the smaller
towns and cities of India during the past 9 years of your mother's
governance?
7) Rahul, can you tell us about the
most important infrastructure need of India?
Rahul: “We have to provide the
roads on which our dreams are paved. And these roads can’t have
potholes. They can’t breakdown in 6 months. They have to be big
roads, because they are going to carry strong people, they are going
to carry strong forces.”
Comment:
Glad that you talked of roads. Do you know that the first job your
family did after coming to power in 2004, was to slow down the
massive road building project setup by Vajpayee government? Not only
that, they even spent crores to remove his pictures from all those
highways being built. And now you lecture about building roads? Wah!
8) Please tell us more about your
train journey.
Rahul: “people were not the
only things moving in that train. Ideas moved with them.”
Clarification:
Rahul baba.. I don't know if you ever traveled for 36 hours in a
train in your entire life, amidst ordinary people of India. I doubt
you did considering the way you are talking about one train journey.
Yes, trains carry people and trains carry ideas all the time. Ask any
migrant to any big city and they will tell how they came with big
ideas and positive spirit. Maybe you should travel in trains more
often, particularly in the sleeper and general compartments.
9) What's the biggest problem in
India today?
Rahul: “Our problem is not
joblessness, it is lack of training and skills”
Shock:
Dear baba.. do you even understand why people don't get jobs? Don't
tell me you don't know the meaning of the word 'joblessness'!
10) Dear Rahul, describe India's
educational system to a chamber full of business people.
Rahul: “Look at our text
books, open them out. Most of the stuff is not really relevant to
what they are going to do. Who knows what they are going to do. You
know what they are going to do. Why? Because you are going to give
them the jobs. You are the guys who are going to employ them. Do you
have a role in our education curricula? Do they ask you? Do
they? Does someone come to you and say, hey listen, what do you
think? Does it happen? I am asking. Does it happen systemically? Do
you have structures in universities? Not individual relationships. Do
you have structures in universities that allow you to impact what the
IIT is teaching? Do you? It is a question. You don’t. Those are the
type of structures we have to build. Our universities structures are
closed. They are silos. I meet these guys, they are brilliant guys,
absolutely brilliant, but a university today is a network. It’s no
longer a silo; the network has to be
connected to the industry. It
has to take input from industry and it is not happening.”
Confusion:
Rahul baba.. if India's text books are obsolete, if you are not sure
who will give jobs to those studying those text books, if there are
no structures in the universities, if the government does not consult
business owners frequently, then it is whose fault? Your Congress
party which has ruled for nearly all but 10 years since independence,
or someone else? And, we are still scratching our head to make sense
of what you said above.
11) What's Rahul's advice to a group
of top business people of India?
Rahul: “And that is where you
guys come in. You are the people who are going to take the lead for
the creation of jobs”
Comment:
Yes, they will create jobs. But what do you do with lakhs of
crores of public money, being doled out through NREGA and other
employment schemes? Can you tell the nation how many jobs were
created during UPA 2 and contrast with earlier governments? How many
jobs did you create as an MP of Amethi in the past 9 years?
12) Baba, what's that Kennedy speech
excerpt you mentioned?
Rahul: “President Kennedy
famously said that a rising tide raises all boats. I oversee a
women’s self help group movement in my constituency and in Uttar
Pradesh. Chatting to them once, I told them this and said the
President of the United States said a rising tide raises all boats. A
rising tide doesn’t raise people who don’t have a boat. We have
to help build the boat for them”
Comment:
Rahul baba.. even when giving metaphors they must make sense to
the audience and also the people you talk about. Amethi is at least
40 KM from a big river and why do they even need a boat? If you
talked to someone in Mangaluru, Prayag or Kanyakumari this boat
analogy would have made sense to them. Something to think about..
13) Rahul sir, any views on
alienation of communities?
Rahul: “When you play the
politics of alienating communities you stop the flow of movement
of
people and ideas – and when that happens we all suffer.”
Comment:
Aha.. Do you remember your party's “Saffron terror” nonsense?
When such politically and religiously motivated statements are made, without any
supporting facts, will they do anything but alienate communities? Speak to
Shinde, Diggy and Chidu once and also read what Wiki leaks wrote
about your own views on this topic.
14) And baba, what was that comment
about exponential thinking?
Rahul: “As we have moved
forward to meet these challenges we must remember that we have
a
tendency in India to think about solving all our problems
incrementally. This is a
mistake. There are some problems,
which require exponential solutions. Whenever
India has
done well it has done so not by incremental steps but by
radically
transforming its structures. Look at our successes –
from the Green Revolution to
the White Revolution to the IT and
Telecoms Revolution. All those successes were
the result of
exponential thinking.”
Clarification: My head is spinning now. Who taught you about
Green revolution, white revolution, IT and Telecom revolution? I am
from a generation that lived through IT revolution. I can tell
confidently that all the growth happened in steps. India did not jump
from land line to smart phone directly. It went through basic phone
upgrades. Internet for IT did not reach 20Mbps speed overnight. I
used internet 18 years back via a modem when even 56 kbps was a
luxury. There was no guarantee that most of the packets won't be lost in
transmission. India did not get flashy Windows i7 laptops overnight.
It took over 25 years to move from a 32 bit 386 processor to today's i7. India did not jump to cloud computing overnight. It took decades of
computing improvements. Get your basics right Rahul baba..
15) Lastly, Rahul sir, what are the
basic components of business?
Rahul: “The poor are one
component of our country. Business is another component. The
middle-class is the third component. We have to work with all these
components.”
Comment:
Ayyo... have you heard of producer and consumer model at all? Which
college did you go to sir?
Did you have enough? I think I had
enough of these serious remarks.
Section 3:
So, Let's read some hilarious
comments from below the video:
“He should
be honored with the title of 'Sir'
after Ravindra Jadeja.”
“The level
of radiation of dumbness from this guy is orders of magnitude larger
than the radiation of all of the
radioactive materials present on this planet”
“You
forgot to put Rahul baba saying, Rani
ki Jhansi!"
“The New
channel should call him every week and
turn this hour into a weekly comedy show. need a headache medicine
asap now.”
“Share it on your Facebook profile
titled as, ""Most inspiring
Speech"", I bet you will lose all your friends...”
“My
favorite: Your are empowered but your are dis-empowered..
LOL, River, Waves, Boats.. Beehive”
“My
girlfriend's cat has a better IQ than this loser.”
“Watching
this clip was very painful and
frustrating! Leave alone his IQ... I think it is criminal even to
bear him speak. Now just think if ever he becomes PM? What a
terror!”
“My kid in
the ninth standard would do a better
job...what an Idiot”
“He is
uttering retardedness like a tracer bullet..:P”
“My
EARS are bleeding... But i still cant stop laughing !!”
“Has
he ever listened to himself??”
And here is
the best comment: “CII must have fired
the guy who came up with idea of inviting him”
And, this
particular comment sums up Rahul's IQ:
02:40 Poor people= Weak people? 04:34 "They are going to carry strong people". So leave the weak (=poor) people behind? 06:36 "let me go back to the women". (Then searches for the "women") 06:50 lost "it" (women??) 07:32 opposite of incremental is exponential?? (nobody taught that math to me) 09:30 5 crores divided among 700 pradhans. So each gets a "couple of crores". I must be a bad engineer to not know the math behind it 12:14 Definitely not if you are that guy on the horse 14:10 Yoga=Dance?
Long live Rahul baba.... and let 100s
of such #PappuCII speeches flow into the “land of energy” :)
After any terror attack in India, we
can almost predict how the “seculars” (read as anyone not
associated with BJP or Sangh ideology) react. Here are some examples
to prove the point.
Terror attack 1: The 26/11 attack on
India by Pakistani terrorists.
After the dastardly terror attack on Mumbai in 2008, which was nothing but a well planned and funded proxy war waged by Pakistan on Indian civilians through brainwashed Jihadi terrorists, Congress party's General Secretary Digvijaya Singh released a book. RSS ka Shadyantra, 26/11 (RSS conspiracy, 26/11).
Digvijaya Singh, an ex CM of Madhya Pradesh, and the teacher of Rahul Gandhi, even went on to say that the Mumbai ATS chief Hemant Karkare had called him, hours before he was killed in the terror attacks, to tell him about threats he had received for probing Hindu extremists and their terror links.

No wonder investigators feel disheartened when the ruling Congress party's top leader openly misleads the nation this way. It was well established right from the start that the terrorists were Pakistanis. Indian and American courts clearly proved the facts in the coming days resulting in convictions and even the execution of Ajmal Kasab, the lone Pakistani Jihadi terrorist caught in the attack.
So it was not RSS, but Pakistani Jihadi Terrorists who did it.
Congress leader and Member of Parliament A H Vishwanath has alleged that Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is behind the bomb explosion in Malleshwaram near the BJP office in Bangalore.
Senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah raised suspicions of BJP’s hand in a bomb blast, that occurred near BJP office in Bangalore on Wednesday. Speaking to press persons on the sidelines of a party workers meet of Krishnaraja constituency, in Mysore, he said that there were chances of BJP colluding with anti-social elements to “plant a bomb” near its office, “for electoral gains”.
Here also, the orgasmic premature verdicts from Congress camp turned out to be totally false. The 2013 Bengaluru blast was linked by the probing police to Al Ummah, a banned Islamic terrorist organization from Tamil Nadu. Nearly 12 terrorists are arrested so far and all of them happened to be Jihadis, who have nothing to do with RSS or BJP.
The Bangalore police have identified the person who probably parked the bomb-laden motorcycle near the BJP office in the city on April 17 as Panna Ismail, a former member of the banned Tamil Nadu terror outfit, Al Ummah. He had jumped bail in mid-March in a terror case in Tamil Nadu. Sixteen people, including 11 policemen, were injured in the blast. In the court documents filed by the police, Ismail, a resident of Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, has been named in the list of 12 persons accused of carrying out the blast. While documents say that Ismail and two other Tamil Nadu men, Bilal Mallick and Fakruddin, are at large, the police have shown the arrests of nine others. Both Mallick and Fakruddin are linked to Al Ummah.
So yet again, Congress supporters and top leaders got foot in the mouth. Worse, no apologies to India for misleading yet another terror attack.
Terror attack 3: The May 2013 terror attack on a Congress election convoy in Chhattisgarh.
This was more bizarre than the earlier ones. Here, within minutes, tweets and messages were floating on how BJP government failed, how Raman Singh the CM must be dismissed and so on. Lots of drama unfolded with Sonia Gandhi even rushing with lot of top leaders, issuing statements and then press giving lot of anti BJP sermons.
And after the initial high drama after this unfortunate incident, completely politicizing the terror attack to blame it on BJP, NIA found top Congress leaders hand-in-glove with terrorists.
The same Congress workers who were holding banners "Raman Singh Sharam Karo" (Shame on him), were no where to be seen when NIA confirmed Congress conspiracy behind Chhattisgarh naxal attack.
So yetanother terror attack, this time by Communist Maoists, back fired on Congress after all the initial shouting against BJP. The attack was established by NIA as a handiwork of Communist Terrorists hand-in-glove with Congress top leaders of Chhattisgarh. Investigation is still going on.
Terror attack 4: The July 2013 attack on Gaya's Buddhist temple.
Even before the NIA investigators are in Patna, already the "secular" nonsense to blame BJP, Modi and Sangh started after this terror attack. See some selected ones (thanks to friend Ajit Gupta for pointers)
It's incredible how many of these "analysis" and "views" match with the Congress ring leader Digvijaya Singh's own RSS and BJP phobia.
He "warned" Nitish Kumar in particular and non-BJP ruled states in general, to be "careful".
If you have carefully observed so far, you won't be surprised if this Bodhgaya attack may also eventually turn out to be some Jihadi terrorist hand, and nothing to do with RSS or BJP.
When will these shameful "seculars" grow up? That too on matters of significant national interest like terror attacks?
