Is Modi becoming a dictator?

Image
PM Modi has some dictatorial trails but he is still way behind congress leaders like Nehru, Indira and Sanjay Gandhi’s dictatorial attitude. According to documents released by the Australian government, in the 1949 meeting British Prime Minister Clement Attlee pitched for a strong anti-communist bloc within the Commonwealth. Both Nehru and Liaquat Ali Khan had concurred with most of what they were told. Nehru dismissed India’s first elected communist government of Kerala. In 1957, Nehru's Congress Party lost power in Kerala in the Elections that year to a Communist led coalition. The formation of such a coalition scared him. He used the sycophant Governor of the State to dismiss the Kerala Government quite illegally. In a labour union rally Majruh Sultanpuri, a Bollywood lyrists, recited this poem... Aman kaa jhandaa is dharti pe kisney kahaa lahraane na paae ye bhii koii Hitler kaa hai chelaa, maar le saathii, jaane na paae! Commonwealth ka daas hai Nehru maar le saathii jaane na

How wealthy is Rakesh Jhunjhunwala?

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s life is a lesson that good health is the ultimate wealth. Because beyond a few crores, wealth is just a number. This covid lockdown created a combination of a sedentary lifestyle plus lack of physical activity plus stress in mind. A few years ago, for a new year's event, an RJ asked him what his wish was. He said, Doctors had advised him on physical movement and to give priority to his health. He admitted he was lazy, and somehow avoiding it plus he loved his drinks in the evening. Finally, it proved to be a fatal combination. Physical activity is a must. Walking in the Sun daily is a must. 62 is definitely not the age to die when an average male life expectancy is 70+ years currently. He had invested in Star Health, the company in which layman invest for their own medical needs. But alas,...he himself stated I am a heavy alcoholic, consuming 6 pegs daily, smokes 25 cigarettes per day, eat like a pig and no physical exercise. So, in a way, he had decided his o

Is CM Arvind Kejriwal doing the best or not in Delhi?

The CAG Audit reports tabled after 4 years have exposed irregularities in the Delhi’s AAP govt. The report tabled in the Delhi Assembly on 5th July 2022, after a delay of four years (partly because of Covid-19 pandemic), completely exposed Kejriwal's claims of ‘revenue surplus’, 'free water’, ‘free electricity and ‘free ladies bus ride’. There is no water in most colonies! People depend on tankers and there is no quality control. Lack of sewerage facilities contaminates groundwater. Delhi budget is surplus despite freebies because Delhi is UT and not a state. New Delhi being the capital, police, metro construction and major PWD works, govt. pensions etc. are handled by central govt. Recently PM Modi inaugurated Rs 900 plus Crore Pragati Maidan subway and state govt inaugurated a subway near Dhaula Kuan built by state fund. This budget advantage will not be available in Punjab. Some highlights of CAG report - - Delhi govt ad spending increased over 4,200% from 2012 to 2022 - The

What were Jawaharlal Nehru's greatest achievements?

British politician Winston Churchill who later became PM during WW-II had intense hatred for India and Indians. Some of his famous statements are – India is a beastly country with beastly religion When millions of people were dying due to starvation during 1942 Bengal famine, Churchill said, it is their fault for breeding like rabbits. Why Gandhi is alive? He also called Gandhiji as half naked fakir. In 1947, Churchill said India won’t last as a nation, will disintegrate into pieces. This was not just his view but he tried to achieve it thru Mountbatten. Mountbatten, who was sent to India in March 1947 as Viceroy to preside over the transfer of power, apparently had an initial plan to split the vast country into a dozen or more (actually 13) autonomous provinces according to Channel 4 documentary. The evidence of plan Balkan was disclosed by Lakshman Menon, grandson of V. P. Menon who served as a constitutional adviser and political reform commissioner to the last three Viceroys. Mount

What is your opinion on PM Modi's “revdi culture must end” statement?

The Supreme Court on 11th August 2022 stressed on creating a balance between the welfare of the State and the economic strain on the public exchequer. "Economy losing money due to freebies and the welfare of people, both have to be balanced. That's why this debate and there must be someone to put thoughts to the vision," the CJI said. This is in reference to PIL application filed in Supreme Court, which questions Delhi government’s freebie schemes. The Supreme Court has shown a serious stand about ending the ‘Revdi Culture’ before the elections in the country. The court has said that the Election Commission and the government cannot get away from it and cannot say that they cannot do anything. The Supreme Court has asked all stakeholders, including the Centre, NITI Aayog, Finance Commission and Reserve Bank of India, to consider the issue of freebies during elections and give ‘constructive suggestion’ to deal with it. When PM Modi raised the issue of revdi culture without
