BJP will need an alliance in AP and TN. AP if YSRCP not agreeable then with Jana Sena and TN with the AIADMK-allied group.

SC asks Kolkata top cop to appear before CBI, says can’t arrest him.
Is this kind of tantrum throwing a routine in West Bengal politics? I can understand opposition leaders trying these gimmics but an elected Chief Minister sitting on dharna that too in support of a police officer!! Overall I feel that Mumtaz Begum has been really shaken up, and she may be get more worried as the CBI would still get a chance to question the WB cadre IPS officer. She had shown similar tantrums when she heard of an Army column moving closer to the state treasury or some thing similar. This was during the De.Mo times.Yagnasri wrote:Mamatha is impulsive in most of the time. She is also desperate. First CBI may be closing in on her and second 2019 may be her last chance to become PM and she is facing problems in both the counts.

Those who underestimate number game in vote bank politics should be alarmed by this.The numbers are alarmingly high and much of it is crypto so it will not be caught in any census. This is also the plan B after the loss of the LTTE and eelam migrating to the back burner.

Only policy proposal by an opposition party currently on the table is by Congress promising a guaranteed minimum income for all. Sadly, like many UPA era policies, it is about pure redistribution. Worse yet, it is fatally flawed:
The cop himself seems to be hand in glove with Mutaz Begum. So don't know how cooperative he is going to be in sharing evidence.

I wonder why mathematicians like Ramanujan have to go phoren & write books (some found after all 'lost'); while the best scientists in West make products and create patent regime. This kind of, or any kind of, factors should not be underestimated.
JT, Agree with you. Hindu populatoin is definately not 75-80% as the official figures try to donate.

Hindus make up no more than 50-60% of the population of India, at best. I've been saying this for a while now.
The way it works is you convert but don't state as such on paper. This allows you to claim benefits like reservations and quotas.
Some states, it's even worse. People who believe the official census figures are fools.

I don't know the exact situation, so TFIFW. I had seen a similar case a few years back; through the boy's sister. At least in his case what had happened was that they were a kind of broken family (the parents were actually high ranking officers, never short of money). Again because of all this no religious teachings were given to the kids (and these folks are from a Brahmin community who glorify themselves as communists). The boy lands up in hostel for his graduation and the trouble starts kicking in from then on. Looks like his room mates were EJs, and they could easily figure out that the boy was mentally weak. Don't know what happened to him and the girl also seems to be just kind have got drifted off/under the radar.Triank wrote:I am going through a very tough time. We are a brahmin family..

What I mean to say is that such conversions generally do not happen all of a sudden. There would be root causes triggered may be years back, which was exploited by EJs who are smart in identifying the preys.
So while Democrats hammer Trump for Russian interference in US elections when none existed, here BJP is hardly raising any voice against Congress for so blatantly using foreign help in Indian elections (in influencing Indian voters).
that is quite a poor reading of what happened.Supratik wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 4:19 pmVPPassociates national tarcker.

It's actually true. While Modi and Shah and perhaps a few others are clean, most are no better than Congress. Palms have to be greased, egos have to be pandered to, and cash has to change hands.crams wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 5:55 pmGuys, I have been following the drama of Jihadi Mamta and the support to her from entire Lutyen mafia and thugbandhan. And what I find particularly troubling is the manner in which this cabal is dismissing with contempt that BJP is any less corrupt than the thugbandhan.
One of the key planks of BJP is that its a different party when it comes to corruption and contrasting themselves from the thugbandhan. However, the Lutyen mafia is doing its level best to neutralize that charge which is not surprising.
The one thing that I find persuasive is that while BJP/ModiJi are indeed clean, as far as the common man is concerned, he/she sees corruption in day to day life. Thus, question is that on this BJP Vs Thugbandhan slug-fest on corruption, is the voting public willing to see BJP as a clean party.
India’s choices in 2019: Modi has reforms to his credit, UPA free rode on Vajpayee’s reforms
February 6, 2019,
Arvind Panagariya
At independence, India suffered from widespread poverty, abysmal social indicators and rudimentary infrastructure. It then went on to adopt socialism as the centrepiece of its development strategy, with attendant features such as licence permit raj, distribution and price controls, and autarkic trade policy. The result was meagre progress for almost four decades.
The process of change began gathering steam only with liberalising reforms, first introduced grudgingly in the second half of the 1980s and then deliberately from 1991 onward. But with the first four decades nearly lost, despite progress in recent decades, India’s problems have remained massive. Therefore, as a critic, if you choose to evaluate any of India’s governments according to problems that remain unsolved, you can have a field day. That is precisely the approach critics of Prime Minister Narendra Modi have taken.
Such criticisms prove nothing and indeed apply with greater potency to preceding governments. Genuine evaluation requires assessing the progress made by a government against that by other governments. If this correct metric is applied, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the present government has done splendidly well and that a return to any available alternative, which will inevitably be some variation of the erstwhile United Progressive Alliance (UPA), would set back India’s economic progress.

Space constraints do not permit a comprehensive list of growth friendly policy initiatives that the present government has taken. Luckily, such detailed enumeration is not necessary either. Instead, it suffices to mention only three major reforms that the Modi government has implemented: Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). If I look for reforms of matching significance during the entire 10-year rule of the predecessor UPA government, I cannot come up with a single one.
Nearly all the major UPA initiatives such as MGNREGA, National Food Security Act and Right to Education Act were about social spending and contributed little to growing the economy. Its pernicious Land Acquisition Act hurt growth outright.
During a public debate five years ago, a senior member of the UPA government happened to defend the record of his government by appealing to the high growth rates witnessed during its tenure. But when asked to name the reforms by his government that could be credited with this growth, he could offer no answer. As I have maintained all along, the high growth rates during UPA rule largely represented a lagged response to the reforms that Prime Ministers Narasimha Rao and Atal Bihari Vajpayee had painstakingly implemented.
Exceptional performance in telecommunications, automobiles, two wheelers, civil aviation and software industries owed much of their success to those reforms. Recent debate on whether the UPA or Modi government delivered better growth outcomes has wholly missed this critical point.
Indeed, not only was the first UPA government lucky enough to harvest what the Vajpayee government had sown, at the end of its second term, it also left an un-ploughed field with debris thrown all over. The successor government had to spend its entire first year removing the debris and readying the field for cultivation again by reassuring investors against retrospective taxation, taming inflation, unblocking numerous stuck infrastructure projects, and ending bureaucratic paralysis.
Even so, can one argue that a new coalition of opposition parties would be different from UPA of yesteryear? Alas, so far there is no sign that any credible opposition leader, save Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, seriously believes in economic reforms as being central to sustained rapid growth. Nearly all believe that rapid growth is India’s destiny and they are there to spend the revenues the economy would keep producing aplenty like the mythical Kamadhenu.
The only concrete policy proposal currently on the table by an opposition leader is the one by Congress president Rahul Gandhi promising a guaranteed minimum income for all. Sadly, like many UPA era programmes, it is about pure redistribution. Worse yet, it is fatally flawed.
Initially, the proposal appeared to be for a universal basic income. But after several commentators pointed to its fiscal unfeasibility Praveen Chakravarty, head of Congress’s data analytics department, stated that the proposal was actually for guaranteeing a pre-specified minimum income to every citizen. It is to be implemented by giving each person the difference between the pre-specified minimum income and the income she already earns. For example, if the specified minimum income is Rs 10,000 per month and I already earn Rs 6,000, the government would give me Rs 4,000.
The fatal flaw in the proposal is that if I know that I cannot find a job that pays me more than Rs 10,000, I would choose not to work at all. The optimal choice for me would be to stay on perpetual vacation and receive full Rs 10,000 from the government. Which fool would choose to work to earn Rs 6,000 that would be entirely taxed away through an equivalent cut in government bounty?
Congress will need a better social spending proposal and, more importantly, a roadmap for growth friendly reforms if it wants to take the nation forward. Alas, the story of Kamadhenu is a myth, not reality!
