The Great Indian Political Drama - 2 (Mar 2018 - Oct 2018)

Flash News: TTD Board removes all four persons from "pradhAna archakA" post who have voiced their concerns through a presser yesterday. Board also has decided to 'retire' all those archakA-s aged above 65.

The same CBN who just the other day claimed he's built '1000s of mosques' and the day before that claimed his govt has no money because center denied his rightful share blah-blah. #aakthoo.

[OmkarC]

What a fall for CBN, showing extreme fascist tendencies here.. Vinaasha kale vipareeta buddhi .. can central govt step in to protect the board ?

[Sridhar k]

I have feeling that the Archakas may not have blown the whistle unless they have political backing from BJP. There has been a gradual leaks about TTD of late, the protest against Amit Shah and now this. However the centre may not intervene directly but go through courts via SuSwamy like the Chidambaram Dikshitar case

[a_bharat]

This is also not the first controversy that Ramana has got himself into.

In 2012, the priest visited Ananth, the son of industrial giant Mukesh Ambani at a guest house in Tirumala and gave him personal blessings. This was despite the fact that he had just received a memo for extending the same favour to the Mukesh himself.

At the time, Ramana also faced allegations of accepting expensive gifts from devotees, and visiting guest houses for 'personal' blessings.

According to reports, the priest flew down to Mumbai to bless the granddaughter of an industrialist.

However, a bigger controversy took place a few years earlier in 2009, when he performed Sudarshana homam in Tirumala for then Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, and his son Jaganmohan Reddy.

Said to be close to the late CM, Ramana also allegedly made trips to Pulivendula and Hyderabad to perform special rituals for YSR family, as a lot of money was involved in such pujas and homams, and businessmen and politicians were always willing to pay.

Just like there are local sympathizers for terrorists, there are local sympathisers for the armed forces. Such ceasefires help in building eyes and ears in local communities.

I can only partially agree with you, considering the behaviour of Islamists in general. And looks like the Army too have not beleived the bluff of the Islamists completely. Centre Orders Ceasefire in J&K During Ramzan, But Army Says Ops Won't Stop Completely . And I feel they have a valid point here, as the Jehadis had attacked an Army convoy the day the ceasefire was announced.

I have feeling that the Archakas may not have blown the whistle unless they have political backing from BJP. There has been a gradual leaks about TTD of late, the protest against Amit Shah and now this.

There are also some rumours that if CBN continues these tricks, the BJP may very well join hands with Jagan Mohan Reddy (even though a crypto-X'ian). It is said that even in the KA elections the Reddy & Reddy camraderie was seen in a way when the Bellary Reddys also got some help from Jagan's camp. Where as Chandranna was trying to harm BJP interests even there.

[a_bharat]

Why do you say Jagan Mohan Reddy is a "crypto-X'ian". He IS a Christian -- not that I have any issue with anyone being a Christian.

Meanwhile the farce called Panchayat elections in WB has ended. 20+ dead. Since it is a "secular" party MSM and intellectuals do not have a problem. If it happened in Gujarat petitions would be sent to UNHRC and UNSC will be asked to bomb Gujarat. TMC has won hands down. But BJP has become the opposition party throughout WB. 2019 will give an idea of how deep it is. Mamata has made a mistake by making it her versus Modi. If she would have stuck to no known popular face in WB BJP she would not have given Modi the opportunity. I think Modi will like it.

BJP document ‘forced’ religious conversion, NGO on par with Maoists
By Ravish Tiwari
, ET Bureau|
Oct 15, 2015, 04.57 AM IST

NEW DELHI: The BJP’s indoctrination document has identified ‘forced’ religious conversion and NGOs that receive foreign funds as internal threats the nation faces and has categorised them along with the threat from Maoists.

The document prepared by the central BJP to train 1.5 million cadres from over 100 million party members, recruited from across the country earlier this year, highlights religious conversion as a “serious domestic threat” and a “conspiracy” by Christian and ‘Jihadi’ activities.

“For several years, a conspiracy has been on to disturb the demographic structure of the country through Christian and Jihadi activities thriving with the help from funds and force. This is a serious domestic threat for us,” the document said.

“There has been so much religious conversion in some of our states that it has disturbed the d e m o g r a p h i c structure. There is pent-up anger and agitation in such states that can burst out anytime,” the document warns, without naming the states.

The document seeks to ‘enlighten’ BJP cadres on allegations of foreign support for the activities. “Foreign agencies are also involved in religious conversions through the use of finance and muscle power,” the document alleged and expressed concern that “forced religious conversions are a serious issue as it threatens to disturb our peace and harmony”. The document laments alleged “tacit support” to religious conversion by some political parties in the country.

The government had distanced itself from support to RSS-affiliated organisation’s ‘re-conversion’ drive late last year but the inclusion of this point in the ruling party’s indoctrination document suggests vigilantism from the saffron ranks against religious conversion.

The BJP indoctrination document frames NGOs receiving funds from foreign donors as another domestic threat before the country.

Document hails Rajnath’s recent curbs on NGOs

The BJP training paper highlights Rajnath Singh-led home ministry’s crackdown on NGOs as a welcome step by the BJP government.

“There are thousands of NGOs which receive funds from abroad with the sole purpose of disturbing the national ambience and put an obstacle against growth and specially misguide people in tribal regions,” the document said.

“Earlier, there were several NGOs which tried to put a spanner against developmental projects which included road, irrigation and mining projects in tribal areas” the document said.

As I said: the Indic constituency has to be built up, cadre by cadre. BJP is specifically training and educating its best and brightest with awareness of the greater national mission and the contours of dharmic strategy. Previously these men and women were talented, motivated, but primarily local in their focus (natural for party workers who spend 24/7 engaged in a street-by-street, house-to-house contest for political support in their constituencies).

Heartening to know that they're being given awareness of a broader vision in service of the Indic cause.

The agniveer model is very inspiring. The arya samaj movement need to be revived and expanded to do massive ghar-wapasi at all levels. With the state covering their back and flanks. OK, at least the BJP states!

(1) RaGa supports Right to Recall !!

in nov-2016, during notebandhi days, Gujarat RSS CM Vijaybhai Rapaniji had supported Right to Recall !!!

Yesterday, congress president Rahulbhai Gandhiji supported Right to Recall !!!

https://aajtak.intoday.in/story/rahul-s ... 03527.html

Looks like both congress and rss are now working to hijack this agenda

But all three foreign funded political parties congress / rss / aap are 100% dishonest . They have NOT given any drafts for RTR. And in their years of power in center / state, they did NOT bring any RTR.

And anyone who oppose Right to Recall Supreme Chief judge, and talks only about RTR over elected reps is a fake fraud phony recallist. And thats what these congress / rss / aap people are. They all oppose RTR over supreme judges, other judges and hence they are fake fraud phonies !!!

These corrupt leaders, namely RaGa / ArKe / Rupaniji etc all hate RTR. But still they talk about it. Leaders from 1980 - 2010 never spoke about RTR. ArKe first talked about RTR in 2011 and then stopped and talked again in 2015 and then stopped. Then we saw useless fellow CM Vijaybhai Rupaniji talk about RTR in nov-2016 and then we saw this clown Varun Gandhi talk about RTR in 2017 !! And now this corrupt useless fellow RaGa is talking about RTR

So why are these leaders who hate RTR supporting RTR now?

Over 100 out of 99 BRFites hate RTR (and they hate for VALID reasons unlike leaders, because abusing BRFites is banned on BRF). So I would request BRFites to decide why all these corrupt congress / rss / aap leaders are now rallying to support RTR !!

(Hint : their 1% good workers , despite black out by paidmedia, due to FB , have realized that RTR is the ONLY good thing which can perhaps save India)

============================

(2) money Modiji is offering to karnataka congress/jds MLAs is 100% cheque and honest money . not ill gotten money !!!

Modiji via Yediji is offering bribes of order of Rs 20 crore to several congress / jds MLAs. Is it by cash or cheque? Because I heard that Modiji is against cash payments !! And all this money must have come from donations of rss-workers' own post tax salaries or other legitimate income. Because Modiji takes no bribes and take no donations from those who earn money unethically or dont pay full taxes. It is good to see that Modiji, without Re 1 of bribery and unethical income, has been able to collect so much money to buy MLAs !!!

Collegium defers decision on Justice Joseph’s elevation to apex court
The decision is getting "deferred" again, though many news outlets in Kerala still maintain that Justice Joseph would reach the Supreme Court.

There is an agenda to "elevate" joseph.

It is just that no one dared to question it all these days, the DDM failed to do it's job by not pointing out this agenda, so the deep state usually worked from the safe and dare I say, the camouflaged position of "fait accompli" without the "free" press allowing the aam aadmi to connect the dots. Persons duplicitously transplanted to other high courts, generally the smaller ones so that their presence would not be widely reported are being surreptitiously shoehorned into the SC. Even in this case, a person who allegedly delivered a so called "controversial" judgment was specifically chosen and pushed up the ladder in such a way that his candidature, if rejected, would appear biased and motivated.

Now that the SM has become aware of the long standing scams, it is going to be difficult to so easily push this agenda without serious consequences.

The govt has rightly called out the appointment and also pointed out the injustice that has long been perpetrated on smaller courts and cost them their rightful place and deserved representation in the SC while another smaller state has been long overstaying it's welcome on the SC bench by ensuring in ways that have yet to be fully understood, a continuous and almost permanent place for itself on the SC bench.

The nonrepresentation of SC/ST on the SC bench cannot be so easily explained away. If "extraordinary" merit can be found in someone who is 42nd on the list, it can easily be found in someone else who is in the 152nd or 23456754th position on the same list. BTW, all SC contenders are supposed to be of equal merit and all equally eligible for elevation to the bench.

Sharia compliant Telangana govt! Special concession from duty for Ramdan to employees belonging to Muslim religion. And this is sold as 'secularism'.

Increasingly it seems like, whether NM wants it or not, the next big electoral battle is starting to organize itself around religion.

With privileged mainorities ganging up on an old anybody-but-BJP bandwagon, its time the BJP realizes the game for what it is and initiates counter-polarization of the majority dharmics.

Of course, one understands the PM can only do and say so much and has to make conciliatory sekular noises from time to time. Fine. But let the rank and file have something worthwhile to show to the dharmics in terms of specific schemes etc that benefit them (or even better, remove the legal handicaps around them).

[Chandragupta]

The problem with a blatant minority vs majority battle is while numbers favour us but unity favors the Muslims-Christians. Plenty of Hindus today who go 'meh, what to me' when you tell them the imminent clash. If the sheep wants to get slaughtered, you can't do much. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to see if Im awake when I come across the absolute ignorance of some Hindus on SM and in real life. The nonsense they spit out & the vigor they defend Islam with will shame even a hardcore Islamist. Simply not much we can do, when minorities reach 30% of the population and 30% of Hindus comprises of such rank idiots who think Islam = Peace and Westernization = modernity.

[Hari Seldon]

The problem with a blatant minority vs majority battle is while numbers favour us but unity favors the Muslims-Christians. Plenty of Hindus today who go 'meh, what to me' when you tell them the imminent clash.

I see your point. Hence, NM's 'sabka saath, sabka vikas' is understandable to an extent.

What many core voters find inexplicable is the lack of action on fronts which are 100% aligned with 'sabka saath, sabka vikaas' (SSSV). Like getting BJP ruled states to dilute RTE or extend RTE to Hindu run institutions.

Or getting BJP states as a first step to loosen their grip on Hindu shrines. Why or how will a KL or AP loosen its grip on Padmanabhaswamy temple or Tirumala if BJP ruled MH keeps digging its sarkari paws into Siddhivinayak, hain ji??

Should the above happen, I'd like to see what stance dhimmi yindus take. The 'meh' crowd would merrily Meh this too. Good for everybody. Creeping acquisition of yindu level playing field, consistent with SSSV, is what I've been yelling hoarse about. At least make an 'effing start. State intent if nothing. Sigh. Only.

If anybody had any iota of doubt as to how much INC tentacles permeate the judas_airy, listen to this fine piece of pappugiri from Sonia's Ghulam (Nabi Azad).

"No one trusts Constitution anymore, people have faith only in judiciary:GN Azad in Hyd"

Somebody remind him that judas_airy derives all its powers from the Constitution. Only.

[hanumadu]

The problem with a blatant minority vs majority battle is while numbers favour us but unity favors the Muslims-Christians.

The Muslims and Christians are united always. They don't need a minority vs majority battle. The percentage of Muslims voting doesn't change and who they vote for doesn't change either.

On twitter, I put forward the concept of #7WallsOfCsystem. The 7 walls of C(Congress/Colonial) system are:

1. Media
2. Elections
3. Intellectuals
4. Bureaucracy
5. Judiciary
6. Paramilitary
7. Constitution

The first two walls tried to stop NaMo from getting into power. The next three walls are trying to stop him from ruling the nation. The last two walls will try to stop him from exercising the power of the nation, within and outside.

Imagine a fort with 7 concentric walls.

As the opposition breaches a wall, the whole wall doesnt come down. It just gives way for the invading force one or more ways to reach the next wall.

Now imaging the Bharatiya resurgence as a flood reaching these walls. as a wall is breached, the water flows in to the next wall. But as it goes in, the water (or even an army) doesnt go just stright to the next wall. It goes around the wall before even attempting to breach the next wall.

In my opinion, we are fighting at the 5th wall of the C-system. And it is breached just recently. The rebellion of 4 SC Judges and the attempt to impeach CJI is indication of this achievement.

Here I want to make a point. The 6th and 7th walls already raised their concerns. The listening ears can hear the noises. The Karnantaka saga already making people talk about constitution and asking opposition to take streets because the winner got only 37% of votes and first-pass at the goal is not an acceptable form of democracy anymore. At some point it will be translated as Democracy must mean 100% acceptance of pre-defined minorities.

The delay we are seeing with Modi Sarkar is due to this nature of occupying a Rashtra space and taking hold of it. Is it desirable? NO, but it is how the game is played. Karnataka cant be won till 2018 because the elections are scheduled till 2018. Similarly West Bengal cannot be claimed till 2021, unless Mamata Benerjee facilitates it earlier.

Similarly even the core agendas have to wait. Can temples be freed from Govt control? YES and they must be. But sufficient groundwork has to be done so that this experiment will be a grand success. This is very very important because, we Hindus can fail in any other aspect, including some cross-border skirmish. But we cannot fail on how we will reclaim our temples and how they will be managed. So we must create the necessary awareness and preparation before Modi can make a policy move.

At this point, please note that even after the invading force reaches all the way to the palace in the middle, some sections of these walls will remain standing.

It is up to the new Rashtra to decide if it wants to rebuild the fort from scratch or reuse the remains and refortify them. Its a "conscious" choice a leader has to make on behalf of the nation.

[Sridhar k]

Saar excellent point. More than concentric walls, these are 7 parallel dimensions that needs to be controlled continuously. Now you can add social media to it

Karnataka crisis: Sorry state of affairs, but Congress talking of ethics is like the devil quoting scripture

Karnataka crisis: Sorry state of affairs, but Congress talking of ethics is like the devil quoting scripture

Politics Ajay Singh May 18, 2018

Just after the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election in 1996, I was among the scores of reporters waiting at Kalyan Singh’s residence, waiting to get the first inkling of the future course of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The party had secured the maximum seats — 174 out of 425 seats — but was short of the majority mark. Since TV cameras had still not taken over the public space for news coverage, the crowd of newshounds was orderly. There was a little commotion when a white Ambassador car carrying an IAS officer arrived at the gates.

The officer, considered an emissary of then governor Romesh Bhandari, confabulated with Kalyan Singh and told him to prepare for the swearing-in ceremony. “Have you brought any letter of invitation?” asked the veteran leader with a certain amount of scepticism. “It will come soon”, said the officer before leaving the place.

That was 17 October, 1996. The date was crucial, since the constitutionally mandated maximum period of one year for President’s Rule was ending that day. It seemed in order that President’s Rule would end and the governor would invite the largest party after the latest elections.

What happened was unprecedented. Within an hour, Bhandari decided to revive the Assembly through a fiat, then put into a suspended animation and continued President’s Rule: All these steps in one go without bothering about the Constitution and propriety. It remains unprecedented in the history of Indian Constitution that a dormant Assembly is revived for a few seconds and put into suspended animation without allowing it to transact any business.

Bhandari carried on with President’s Rule for six more months through subterfuge. And his accomplices were none other than the Congress and HD Deve Gowda, who had become prime minister in June 1996. The governor’s acts of indiscretion were then seen by his apologists as masterstrokes to stem the tide of ‘communalism’ in the aftermath of the Ayodhya agitation. BJP stalwarts like Atal Bihari Vajpayee and LK Advani could not do much except marching with a petition to the Rashtrapati Bhavan where KR Narayanan gave them nothing more than a patient hearing.

Much has changed since then. The BJP has become the principal pole of Indian politics. Also, unlike docile and mild-mannered leaders of the past generation, the new generation of the party leadership is ready to reply more than in kind to their political adversaries.

This is why the self-righteous indignation shown by the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular) is unlikely to cut ice with people. Of course, the BJP is quite conscious of the fact that it has fallen short of only seven seats to achieve majority in the 224-member House. In effect, the party’s projection of BS Yeddyurappa as its chief ministerial candidate found approval among a large section of people.

In the first-past-the-post system of elections, the BJP won a near-majority and emerged as the electorate’s first choice. It will be utterly naïve and improper to argue that the Congress got a higher vote share. If this logic holds water, the Congress would have won few elections since the 60s as the combined Opposition polled more votes on nearly all occasions.

It would have been utterly stupid if the BJP let go of this opportunity to form the government on its own even if it entailed imminent defeat of the Yeddyurappa government on the floor of the House. The reasons are not far to seek. The electorate that rallied behind the BJP would have been thoroughly disappointed at political timidity of the leadership if they had not gone for the kill. Unlike Uttar Pradesh in 1996 when the BJP emerged as the single largest party but fell far short of majority, in Karnataka the party is missing the mark just by a whisker.

Those who think that the Congress and the JD(S) are fighting for democracy are either living in fool’s paradise or deliberately creating a delusion about ethics and morality. If you hear the public spat between leaders of the Congress and the JD(S), it would prove beyond doubt that there is hardly any ideological congruity between the two. They have come together only with the hope of sharing political spoils that are abundant in Karnataka.

Those who know the state would testify that the Congress-JD(S) combine is inherently fragile and would be able to last only at the expense of governance. In such a scenario, the BJP’s efforts to form the government are clearly a lesser evil than installing HD Kumaraswamy as chief minister. And there is little doubt that the BJP would give a stable government if it succeeds in its strategy.

In a situation where political machinations have become quite akin to underworld operations, a new grammar has spawned that has radically changed discourse. Given the reality that it was the most expensive election in the country, Congress leaders’ talks of morality, ethics and democracy appear like the devil quoting scripture.

Perhaps none have contributed as much in converting politics into an underworld operation as the Congress. In Karnataka, it would be naïve to expect politics to take an idealist path. However, if the Congress is really serious about restoring politics to a righteous course, let it atone for its past indiscretions and swear an oath that in the future, the party would only take the truthful, moral and ethical course; come what may. Can Rahul Gandhi do it?

[Rudradev]

Rama Y garu,

Powerful argument as always, but I think you are being too optimstic.

In fact Modi sarkar and Indic resurgence has barely breached Wall #4 (Bureaucracy) at this time.

Lots of resistance is still being encountered even there: witness the NPA/defaulter scam among many other things. This is where the main force of GOI machinery is engaged at present. Many more economic IEDs still remain in our path... as those who blithely dismiss the importance of "vikas" would do well to recognize. Economic prosperity is not some natural destiny waiting to fall into our laps; it will be the prize of a battle hard-fought and won against entrenched, institutional "Idea of India" interests. And their agents in the bureaucracy.

Wall #5 (Judiciary) is still at the 'early warning' stage for the enemy (that is what the press-conference drama by 4 SC justices, move to impeach CJI, and ongoing agitation to elevate Justice Joseph are really all about trying to stave off).

The time for Paramilitary (Wall #6) confrontation will surely come. Unfortunately, by then, all the current bellyaching by some that "Modi Sarkar isn't doing ENOUGH for CORE Hindu agenda" will have had its enfeebling effect, and will prove itself to be the Jai Chandra rationale for self-serving indifference and cowardly inaction that it actually is.
