Can Modi be Countered ?


A rag tag opposoition is planning to oppose Narendra Modi. Most of the opponents are those who have been roundly defeated by the elctorate and had ambitions to be Prime minister. Among them are men like Nitesh kumar. This man thought he would be king( become Prime Minister). Unfortunately he over estimated himself and was soundly thrashed at the elections. In panic he joined up witha convicted criminal lalu Prasad Yadav( convicted in the Fodder scam) and is hoping he can survive the Modi avalanche. Most other leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Ms Mayawati, Mamta Bannerjee, Karunanidhi among other wont be able to make a come back for at least a decade , by which time we would be writing their obituary RIP

Ms jayalalitha has had her dreams Shattered

The special court in Bangalore sentenced Jayalalitha for a prison term of 4 years and also fined her Rs 100 crores and on failure to pay a further prison term of one year. What does this mean? It means that apart from the jail term, she is debarred to contest an election for 6 years and is immediately disqualified as a MLA as per the Peoples Representation Act. Theere is merit in the judgement of the court and the net effect is that this schemer has been effectively debarred for aspiring to be the Prime Minister of India. This was the ambition of the lady, to sit in the PM's chair. I wonder how a lady as corrupt as Jayalalitha could aspire to be the Prime Minister of India ? This is the bane of a democracy like India where the voters vote more on caste and secterian lines than on merit. God save India !

First Time in History The US has no Policy to Counter IS( Islamic State)

The ISIS ( Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is now transformed into the IS( Islamic State). It is an organization that has split from it parent organization the Al Qaeda, but its doubly fearsome as it has a dedicated following and its appeal for an Islamic Caliphate runs across all sections of Sunni Muslims. I say Sunni Muslims , because the very nature of the IS precludes any accomodation with the minorities or the Shia minority in Islam.

 Thus the IS is waging a two front war, one against the decadent West and second against the Shia and other minorities. The IS is getting recruits from all over the world. Large numbers from the UK and the USA have enrolled to fight for the IS. In fact the recent beheadings of 2 American reporters were the handiwork of two British Muslims. Obviously these men kept their faces covered as they feared reprisel and like all cowards they want to live.Yet these men have been identified and one hopes they can be brought to justice. 'Brought to justice' is a fine phrase, but who will execute this?

The one power capable of taking on the Sunni fanatics is the USA and strangely with Obama at the helm of affairs a strange paralysis has encompassed the US government. They have no policy to counter the IS and Obama has admitted this in so many words. Its frightening that the number 1 power is clueless how to deal with the IS except a sporadic aerial bombardment that is not having the desired effect.

 The USA under Obama is more like a toothless tiger and I feel the American think tank must be berefit of ideas. Otherwise they would never have toppled two bulwarks aagainst al Qaeda and its ilk namely Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein. By toppling the USa has opened a can of worms that will enter in the long run the US stomach. They continue their shortsightedness by opposing Assad. The so called moderate Islamic rebels the US is arming are the very men who sold the US correspondent to the IS for $ 25000-30000. What a mess created as this poor man was beheaded and a video circulated. America needs a great President now, one who can salvage US pride and face the danger of a resurgent Sunni Islam. Obama is not the man,

 I wonder how the American people could have voted in a man who is half Muslim and studied in a Madrasa( Islamic religious School) for 2 years.

Arvind Kejriwal: The man who sought the crown of India when it didnt fit him

Arvind Kejriwal is a Humpty Dumpty. The famous nursery rhyme says that that " Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall and all the kings horses and men could not put Humpty Dumpty together again". This sums up Arvind Kejriwal. This man opposed Shiela Dixit the Delhi Chief Minister and won. He thought he would similarly trounce Narendra Modi at Varanasi and that victory would catapult him to the chair of the Prime Minister of India. Unfortunately Kejriwal lost , in fact he lost his deposit and wasn't much of a challenge to Narendra Modi. Along with this his party candidates were humiliated everywhere and it is reported they lost deposits to the tune of Rs one crore. Kejriwal must understand that outlandish statements and rhetoric is not anything that will take him far. He seems to be a man consumed by hatred and that is apparant in his conduct and speeches. So sad, as like Humpty Dumpty Kejriwal will have years in isolation.

Narendra Modi May be the Greatest Indian PM after Nehru

Jwaharlal Nehru led India for 17 years before a stab by China, broke his heart and he died. But despite some glaring blunders where he was outclassed by Mao and General Ayub, Nehru gave India the foundation of the present democracy. After Nehru a series of nondescript prime ministers appeared and that includes Indira Gandhi who divided India on basis of religion. There are men who will go in the dustbin of history, like IK Gujral, Charan Singh, Dev Gowda and one or two more like Manmohan Singh. No leader of stature emrged and its only now that Narendra Modi has appeared on the scene. He has revitalized the Indian mind and it looks like that India is on the up with this man at the helm of affairs. Modi has a great chance to make history and I hope he will not be found wanting .

Defeat of Congress party is end of Cronyism and "Chamchagiri

An important fallout of the likely Comgress defeat is the end of cronyism or as we say in hindi CHAMCHAGIRI. The man who led all India in this is the Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh. Having a zero political base  Man Mohan Singh became a toady of the Gandhi family. He always said "Yes sir, yes sir 3 bags full...".

India must move forward and forget about the decade under Congress rule as bad dream with only corruption, nepotism and cronyism to show. PROGRESS? Dont ask about it.
Will modi be better. So far he has had a very short stint, but the men who surround Modi him perhaps won't let him clean the stables which stink.

Defeat of Congress is end of Nehru Dynastic Rule

The Congress party in all probability will be defeated. It will also be the lowest tally ever. What does this portend? It means the complete failure and rejection of Rahul Gandhi ny the electorate. It also means that the Charisma and elan of Gandhi-Nehru family is finally over.

in a way its good thing as India was a laughing stock in the world where the person holding the reins of power was a Italian. I could die laughing on a bed of nails at this ludicrous scenario. It can happen only in India
