What is the biggest work done by PM Modi for India so far?

Just few days after Delhi-Mumbai Expressway first phase was inaugurated by PM Modi on 12 February 2023, I had a chance to visit Jaipur from Gurugram. Obviously, it is a fantastic expressway and first of its kind in India. User reviews are available on media and social media and if I praise too much about this expressway, librandµs will call me ‘andh bhakt’.

Distance marking is available after every 100 meters from staring point (as seen in pic below) so that one can pin-point his location in case of emergency, most of the rest and recreation facilities are not yet started, solar panel and drip irrigation pipes can be seen on expressway median area, median area trees are just newly planted, most vehicles operating at 100 plus KMPH speed, a rest and recreation facility at 99 KM from Gurugram or Sohna end is serving basic snacks like potato chips and the only operational food joint currently. Only few mini kids play ground and petrol pumps can be seen in rest area and CNG or EV charging facility is not available right now.

PM Modi and transport minister Nitin Gadkari’s promise of Delhi to Jaipur in 2 hours is still far away and will happen only after two spur connectivity is established. Delhi DND to KMP Expressway 59 KM spur is under construction and may take another year. But Bandikui-Jaipur spur which starts from 169 KM towards Jaipur is at early stage of pre-construction and inauguration deadline is not yet clear. Despite this, we took half the time to reach Jaipur than returning back to Gurugram using old highway.

Delhi-Mumbai Expressway phase-1

What is important here is a mind-set change by the current government that world class infrastructure not just provide jobs during construction phases but gives immense boost to economy during operation phase. After few years, revenue generation from these projects is also substantial. So, government is not shying away from big ticket expressways, bullet trains, DFC (dedicated freight corridors), new airports, mega tunnels, sea ports and bridges. These projects are getting constructed with top speed and without much compensation or agitation problem.

When first expressway was built in north-India which was Noida-Agra expressway in 2011-13 by UP CM Mayawati, ruling central government MP Rahul Gandhi tried to block that construction at village Bhatta Parsaul in greater Noida district. He was arrested and that gave him publicity and media coverage. UPA 2.0 (2009-2014) was the period were every big ticket projects were stalled in the name environment protection and land compensation. Some famous NGO’s like Ford Foundations, George Soros’s Open Society Foundation (Soros is again in news for criticizing PM Modi in February 2023), Amnesty International etc. funded agitations like Narmada Bachao Andolan, Koodankulam anti-nuclear agitation in TN. Not just MP Rahul Gandhi but UPA ministers like Jayanti Natarajan and Jayram Ramesh blocked national projects.

Modi government’s strong action against anti-national NGO’s is helping India build world class infrastructure. So, Modi is transforming India infrastructure and at the same time, destroying anti-national NGO’s, librandµ and leftists andolan-jivi class who survive on these western or Chinese funded NGO’s.

How sarcastic was Sonia Gandhi’s statement made in parliament yesterday when she said “Women’s Reservation was the dream of her husband Rajiv Gandhi” and she appealed everyone in the House to fulfil her husband’s wish?

This is called ‘chalta hai culture’ in Hindi which means ‘work in progress for decades’. This is the ‘sarkari’ way of doing things that India observed since independence. Women’s reservation bill was first mooted by ex-PM Rajiv Gandhi in 1989 but remained in paper for decades until made law in 2023. Sushma Swaraj’s soul will be happy today There are many examples like this. GST was drafted during UPA era by West Bengal Finance Minister Amit Mitra (Ph. D. from Duke University on Economics) but implemented by Arun Jeiley of BJP during Modi 1.0 government. New Parliament building built by Tata Projects for Rs 862 Crore within two years despite Covid-19 pandemic is an example of timely project execution. If congress would have don’t it, it may took two decades and 10 times cost escalation cur to corruption. A 16-17 KM Calcutta (now Kolkata) Metro took two decades (initiated in early 1970s, partly opened in 1984 and complete 1st phase by early 1990s). This is called congress slow speed. 17

What is the problem with Indian media?

This is Indian librandµ media and political contradiction at its best - MP Sanjay Singh of AAP getting arrested by ED for Delhi liquor excise scam in October 2023 Opposition MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira in Punjab getting arrested for drug case in September 2023 Both politicians are proudly getting arrested in front of media and waiving to the crowd as if they have won some Asian Games or Olympic medals. Few decades ago, Doordarshan media comedian Jaspal Bhatti rightly said ‘politician going to jail only enhances their political carrier’. This is true even today. This is a side effect of Gandhi-Nehru politics in India. When AAP jailed opposition congress leader in jail for a drug case, this is not a case of political vendetta but law taking its own course. Punjab’s CM Bhagwant Mann and super-CM Arvind Kejriwal said drug menace will be strongly handled in the state. However, when its own MP Sanjay Singh is charge sheeted by ED and judiciary refuse bail considering substantial evidence agains

Why were the world leaders visiting India very frequently in March-April 2022?

Almost all P5 leaders are meeting Indian PM Modi he has emerged a global hero in last two years. This is because Indian greatly increased vaccine production and distributed to many countries including free across the world as part of ‘vaccine diplomacy’. Even UK PM Boris Johnson confirmed that he used India made Covid-19 vaccine. The second reason is Modi is the only global leader who spoke to both Russian and Ukrainian Presidents for safe passage of foreigners and other peace initiative during this two month old war. This is time for Modi to claim P5 status in UNSC with veto power which Indian leader Nehru gave it to China. See body language of global leaders when they meet Modi with arms around Modi’s shoulder Meanwhile, Chinese leader is in self-imposed quarantine and not ventured out of his country in last two years. No major leaders met him. China supplied ineffective Covid-19 vaccines in many countries but its major cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen are under prolong lockdown. Th
