Agenda of Development

I am impressed with our voters. How much ever it may seem that there is cast combination game in our elections, at the macro level, it is still about development issues. Recent results in Delhi, Rajasthan, and MP etc. are glaring examples. Our fellow citizens know what they are doing - master plan of some of those in BJP to camouflage the communal issue as a terrorism issue backfired. People have gotten over with the communal issue. It is actually very nice that Sharukh Khan mentioning he doesn't feel like a minority. We need more Muslims openly condemning terrorism - this will totally defeat communal politics. We need more dalits opposing cast based reservations - this will totally defeat cast based politics.
Let us not forget the fact that BJP had stormed to power in MP, Rajasthan etc. in last elections based on bijli-sadak-pani issue. We all need development. We all know we want to get over with the issue of communal politics. Only people who are getting exploited - politically labeled minority communities, can make this happen - they have a huge role to play to bring our politics back into development agenda.

Jai Hind.

My Country, My People

Last few days have been a show of failed leadership in our country. It's surprising to see that our leaders don't have an appropriate response for an attack on our country. Our leaders have left us in shame. Where are the bygone days of Subhash Chandra Bose or Bhagat Singh? Where are the days when we did nuclear tests? Where are the days of of Kargil?

Here is a Dy CM who calls an attack on the nation a small incident. There is a CM who dares to take a picnic like tour to the ground zero. Here is a Home Minister who says terrorists had left before he reached spot. There is a Prime Minister who gives a speech which is depressing! Hey, what are we? Where is our courage? Who in this country is saying "bring 'em on".

We are better than this. Let's go get those who attacked our country and who killed our people. Let us punish all these lazy dumb politicians who don't understand what an attack on our country means. Today, let us stand united, in the name of India, to protect our country.

Jai Hind.
