Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Get Shivpal Yadav party to contest in UP. Give them a few easy seats to win. Even if they dent 4-5% vote overall that should be enough to win a large number of seats.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Modi cannot be compared with Morarji desai for several reasons. And most of what Modi has done is out there in the public domain including BRF. But I agree with Dubeyji's view that too much negativity has its own momentum. Those who want Modi back should correct his fallacies but not project negativ...

It seems there will be a full budget in Feb, 2019. Also there is likely to be a BJP meet in Jan, 2019 on Ram mandir ordinance. Hope they go for it.

It is going to be like this till most of India is middle class. Curse of 60 years of socialism. No point in cribbing.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

My suggestions would be 1) Raise MSP for all agricultural produce by 30-50%. Adopt the Rhythu Bandhu scheme of TG which helped KCR win. 2) Add Rs 100 subsidy on LPG to BPL families. 3) Add subsidy for electricity upto 400 units for BPL families. 4) Give tax breaks to all IT payers in coming budget. ...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Dubeyji, this is a political debate forum not an echo chamber. Let people debate. Another reason I believe could be that local level corruption under BJP was present and Shivraj and others did not go after it. I have heard this complaint from my relatives in Delhi when Kejriwal won. The MCD was unde...

Getting info from Kanchan Gupta's twitterline that farm loan waiver in RJ alone is going to cost 99000 crore. Let us see where Cong gets the money from.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Google shows it is priced at around 800 non-subsidized. Subsidized about 500. They need to kick the butt of petroleum companies if they are not transferring money on time. Subsidized gas price can be reduced by 100-200. Also they should have something for electricity. Maybe DBT to bank account.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Doesn't make sense. It is already subsidized. DBT to bank account. Maybe the process of payment is not smooth. All I am saying is to reduce the price for BPL further so that they can have regular refill.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

They need to come to a price figure that BPL families can pay for gas and electricity instead of arbitrarily fixing a price.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

I think he may mean they are unable to pay even the price of subsidized gas. So the gas connection is of no use. Similarly electricity connection is of no use if they can't pay for it.

Please tweet the gas cylinder issue to PMO. It can certainly be solved by reducing the size of cylinders. Gas and electricity subsidy for BPL should be considered.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Sicanta, it is going to be a gradual process as India is a vastly populous country. Even then per capita GDP is only 2000 dollars. Maybe when it is 10000 dollars and most people have proper jobs. Till then it is going to be like this no matter what Modi or you and I think.

One of the reasons why Cong won 2009 was the massive loan waiver. Modi has to suck his belly, hold his nose and do similar things.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Middle class is of two segment. Salaried and trading. It is trading class who have become anti-BJP due to GST, IT, demo. They live a dual life bhagwa-patriotic on the outside, cheats on the inside. At least those who are with Cong are honest that they don't care about corruption. In UP poor/lower mi...

That is because they will be in jail in foreign countries if they did what they do in India and also more educated people migrate to advanced countries.
They will spit jutkha on newly painted pillars in Connaught place but will not spit even in their homes in Singapore for fear of getting caned.

Corporate India has always backed Cong. They have been in power for close to 60 years. Like any empire/dynasty they will have their people in every nook and corner of the country. That is why it is necessary for BJP to win elections to bring down this machinery. Otherwise it will be back to old busi...

My relatives in MP have good things to say about Shivraj. And I am not sure if Kamalnath and Gehot are inspiring figures who will turn MP/RJ/CG into Japan. There will be a return to rampant evangelism and naxal violence. Let us see what happens.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

It is unfair to say BJP govts did not do anything in RJ, MP, CG. They brought this three states out of BIMARU status. Just look at per capita GDP. It was near UP/BH. Now it is in middle ranks similar to WB.
