So basically MSM and BIF have taken 3-4 things recent things and created a narrative where 3 yrs of MOdi govt's achievement amounts to nothing.
1. DeMo and supposed failure of DeMo
2. GST and how it has caused hardships for everyone from pan shop wala to Billion Dollar exporter
3. Slow down in economy/GDP
4. Rise in petrol prices

Even well educated folks are beginning to buy into the media narrative. I hope all this fizzles out by Gujarat and Karnataka elections.

What i hear, again not a ground report, is that they will only scrape through as there is no credible opposition..although i saw someone from a community share an article from scroll that, no opposition thought process is also wrong

Prakash Raj does not seem to be a committed red sepoy
'Am I A Fool To Return My Awards?' Says Actor Prakash Raj
Bengaluru:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on the unsolved murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh is why noted southern actor Prakash Raj says his five National Awards are deserved by "bigger actors" including the PM. The actor also said that he has been misquoted as saying he wants to return those awards. "I am not such a fool to give back the National Awards which has been given to me for my body of work and which I am very proud of."
So looks like case of left eating left. He did some lip service to sikular cause while hedging his commercial side but the commie patrakar went overboard and added more spice to print what he wanted to print

Rahul Mehta,
Are you contesting in elections this time?.
.
Yes. To publicize law-drafts such as
.
(1) Right to Recall over PM / CM / MPs / MLAs
(2) RTR District Education Officer, District Police Chiefs. District Public Prosecurtors
(3) Expel ALL judges (lower / high / supreme) and bring JurySys in ALL (lower / high / supreme) courts
(4) SCRAP GST COMPLETELY, instead levy wealth tax and reduce income tax exemption
(5) Improve foothpaths ; collect parking fees at ALL sports in demand
(6) direct deposit of mineral royalties and Govt plot rent in citizens' account
(7) Cancel EVMs
(8) narcotest in public in cases like murder, rape, high corruption
.
and over 200 such law-drafts , I will be contesting Gujarat Assembly dec-2017 elections.
.
I will take 2 out of following three constituencies - Naranpura , Ghatlodia, Thakker Bapanagar
.
--------------------
.
Here are some topics that NEVER made a mention in Man Ki Baat of leaders like SoGa / NaMo / ArKe (all three are one and same)
.
(1) Godrej owns over 3400 acres of land in Mumbai alone !!! Yes, thats mumbai alone. And Godrej owns 10-50 tims more land in rest of India. And Tata owns more than 10 times the plots Godrej owns (not in Mumbai though). And Missioanries own more land that all Gorej, Tata etc combined.
.
(2) And how MUCH wealth tax do they pay on plots? Rs ZERO !!! Because all lands belong to "charitable" and religious trusts !!!
.
(3) Tata owns a coal mine . which he got in 1946 for 999 year lease !! Lease amount is -- HOLD YOUR BREADTH --- Re 1 per YEAR per ACRE !!! Yes, per acre !! Not even per tonne. He had this mine and this rate till jan-2015. I dont know whats the status now.
.
So all in all, taxes like GST (and excise , service tax, CST etc) are imposed because our great leaders DO NOT want to tax their plots !!!
.
So my proposal --- scarp GST completely and instead levy wealth tax on land and constructions
.
-----
.
The supporters of GST will always compare GST with CST , excise, VAT, sales tax, service tax etc and claim that GST is good. They NEVER dare to compare GST with wealth tax, because they know that GST is more regressive and more cumbersome than wealth tax.
.
USA doesnt have GST , service tax, has excise on just 10-15 items, no CST, and limited sales tax on some final goods. USA has NO lines of trucks at border. IOW, we do NOT need GST to remove truck lines at border. USA has simple law --- that except some 10-15 goods, state cannot stop movement of goods and services and cannot collect taxes on entry of goods. The state can collect tax ONLY when sale is made in the state.
.
In USA, Federal govt runs of on INCOME TAX, INHERITANCE TAX, limited excise (on 10-15 goods like tobacco, alcohol, petrol etc), tolls etc
.
And states / district run on income tax, inheritance tax, sales tax and WEALTH TAX on property !!
.
-------
.
Essentially, GST will break our back and wealth tax is far far far less bad. But "leaders" dont want to collect taxes on men with huge plots. And so "leaders" want GST in India.
.
-----
.
Enough ramblings for one day !!! Have a nice day

Just saw on Zee news Hindi.

Full coverage of Amit Shah's Kannur, KL padayatra - Jan samrakshan yatra - in which the star campaigner was Yogi Adityanath himself.

Seems BJP efforts to rope in KL xtians went unrequited. Hence, they have decided to go with core message/differentiator/ fallback - Hindutva.

Seems the gathered BJP workers were enthused at the very mention of the Yogi's name, KL felt like a BJP state momentarily... Zee journo was all giddy and all. Onlee.

Shah's interview with the same journo was quite impressive, IMHO. Crisp, clear, factual, sharp, heartfelt at the same time objective and rational... I know, all-in-one. Modi' successor has been found, look no further than Amitbhai Shah.

Only.

CPM votes in KL are mostly Hindus. As per one estimate, 80%plus are Hindus. If BJP takes a significant portion of that vote bank, then CPM is finished in KL.

Finally, BJP is turning around to hard Hindutva. I say timely return before 2019. Development alone will not work, it has to be in tandem with not soft but hard, unabashed Hindutva. Mullahs are wrecking havoc everywhere in this world and even the global narrative is becoming anti-Islam. There is no need to continue spouting bullshit secularism mantra when most Hindus are already vary of it.

Since Media thread is closed I'm posting here. Yesterday on India Today TV, Ravi Shankar Prasad was talking to Rajdeep Sardesai on Amit Shah visit to Kerala issue & I missed the earlier discussion, but by the time I started watching, RSP was blasting Rajdeep for being biased against BJP & asking him to keep his biased views aside. He left the discussion midway. Rajdeep was looking down & mumbling for words. It was a treat to watch from somebody like Ravi Shankar Prasad who doesn't have an image of being a feisty speaker. I'm not able to find the video on India Today youtube channel. Rajdeep must have stopped it getting online.

Such reporting may have an impact in North India, but in Kerala things may not be taken in the same spirit. For one, most of the Kerala news channels & media outlets have kind of side-lined this Yatra of the BJP. The bailing out of a movie actor (accused of conspiring to get a co-actress raped) got much more bigger media coverage.

Yes. Amit Shah can now realise that every Kerala house hold has a toilet (which North India lacks), as well as Beef biriyani being offered to the BJP workers from else where are going "popular" in social media. Yogi Adityanath is also offered with visits to Kerala hospitals, so that he can run hospitals in a better fashion in UP. Though I can understand the sense of humour in the trolls, it is also a bit too much considering that the majority of employable people from this state go and work outside the state. This ego needs to be broken. Perhaps what the BJP should do is to start a naming & shaming campaign of Keralite managed businesses all across India. Meet up the employees/businessmen at their establishments ask them about their business, their food habits (beef especially) and reconfirm on the availability of toilets. And then ask them, why should they suffer this bad bad North India, when they have a heaven waiting in Kerala. It is these kind of campaigns which perhaps Zee TV or Times Now should perhaps do.

The BJP lacks good leaders in Kerala, and also does not have any track record. Due to which many voters may still prefer the old horses in the fray. For Hindu votes to shift away from CPI(M) it has to be repeatedly and consistely proven that CPI(M) political decisions are detrimental to the average Hindu out there. In this front perhaps there has been some progress. Especially "Love Jehad" and the victim girls all coming from communist/atheist families have made some of the commie cadre a bit jittery.

NGO is not shut down, but temporarily blocked until we finalize a policy. the policy will likely be published as forum guidelines early next week. all posters and mods will have to adhere to it.

politics(this thread) is open.

GDF was far beyond these two threads. most of those thread topics have restarted here. feel free to use them. one expects the veteran members to refrain from emotional outbursts like the above. two hyperactive threads cannot sustain a forum no more than I can eat only biryani and ghee rice for every meal.

while GST causing hardships to legitimate business due some addl burden of claming input credit / iffy website etc has some logical sense to it, demo causing hardship to employers and resulting in job loss does not make sense to me. the inability of construction contractors to pay their labour in cash led to some people leaving the cities and moving to countryside but cash crunch is over now, and while contractors might think its smart to evade some income reporting by dealing in black money and paying workers in black cash, its not good for the country, they can easily facilitate accounts for all workers and many have done so. it has become a bit tougher to generate and "move" black money around now, and those who feel such pains are funding a campaign against gst and demo, which ties in with the need for some sections of the MSM to create a 'atmosphere of discontent/failure' around the namo admin in time for next round of state elections and 2019 GE.

rest assured the war has just started.

also I believe any failures real or imagined in UP is being specifically targeted to tarnish Yogi's chances of being a PM candidate in 2024 , the same way namo was identified by someone very perceptive as a future threat way back in 2002 and a decade long campaign unleashed to tarnish him. nothing scares the BIF more than Yogi emerging as a successful leader and turning around our largest and one of more problematic states into development and peace. he is quite young (45) unlike Namo and can hence continue for a long time. he is also more willing to call a spade a spade and confront the narrative head on...he is fiery orator like namo. look for anyone in BJP top layer who displays the slightest bit of 'defiance' toward namo to be played up as a alternative and statesman. even the Sinhas both them gets favourable press.

This also makes me think if this Jan Rakshya Yathra is also a major political campaign in Northern Indian states. I mean is the BJP expecting more mileage out of this from its own home grounds (with Kerala still being a low-prio target in BJP's radar)? The BJP is also having another protest march go up to the AKG Bhawan, the H.Q of the job-less CPI(M) central leadership (!?) in New Delhi.

.....
Seems the gathered BJP workers were enthused at the very mention of the Yogi's name, KL felt like a BJP state momentarily... Zee journo was all giddy and all. Onlee.
Such reporting may have an impact in North India, but in Kerala things may not be taken in the same spirit. For one, most of the Kerala news channels & media outlets have kind of side-lined this Yatra of the BJP. The bailing out of a movie actor (accused of conspiring to get a co-actress raped) got much more bigger media coverage.

Isn't Dileep closer to the left?? May be that's a right place to start.

This also makes me think if this Jan Rakshya Yathra is also a major political campaign in Northern Indian states. I mean is the BJP expecting more mileage out of this from its own home grounds (with Kerala still being a low-prio target in BJP's radar)? The BJP is also having another protest march go up to the AKG Bhawan, the H.Q of the job-less CPI(M) central leadership (!?) in New Delhi.
There was a quote that "red terror must end in Tripura and Kerala'.
Seems like BJP has decided to be more proactive against them in the two states.
In recent times, there has been no precedent where multiple BJP CMs and the Home Minister took part in a common event.

From India Today:
BJP Jan Raksha Yatra: Why bringing Adityanath to Kerala is an Amit Shah masterstroke
http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/yogi ... 61364.html
By raising the political killings in Kerala under "political patronage", the BJP is aiming to achieve the three objectives that were also highlighted in the run-up to the UP Assembly elections held earlier this year.

LAW AND ORDER

Launching the Jan Raksha Yatra on October 3, Amit Shah said that more than 84 BJP and RSS workers had been killed in Kannur alone and 120 of them murdered in the state since 2001.

By highlighting the issue of the murder of BJP and RSS cadres, the BJP is trying to hit out at the law and order situation in the state headed by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

In Uttar Pradesh too, the BJP had targeted the then ruling Samajwadi Party government led by Akhilesh Yadav on the law and order situation in the state. It had sought to bring into focus the "excesses" committed by the Samajwadi Party workers on the common man.


The BJP would allege that the police stations were run not by the police, but by Samajwadi Party workers and leaders.

POLARISATION

Power in Kerala has rotated between the ruling CPM-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF). By alleging that 120 BJP and RSS cadres have been murdered since 2001, Amit Shah attempted to discredit both the governments.

In a bid to polarise votes, Yogi Adityanath said one of the issues that the BJP was protesting against love jihad in Kerala and Karnataka. Love jihad drew focus when the Kerala High Court annulled Akhila's marriage to a Muslim. Akhila, a Hindu woman, had converted to Islam. Her father had filed a habeus corpus petition in the high court.

The BJP is clearly seeking to make political killings an issue of ideological war. The right-wing party is trying to consolidate the Hindu voters who account for 54.73 per cent of the state's population as against 26.56 per cent Muslims and 18.38 per cent Christians, as per the 2011 Census.

The LDF and UDF bank largely on the Muslim and Christian voters and a large chunk also of the Hindus to come to power. The BJP is seeking to upset this equation and garner the support of the majority Hindus to become a force to reckon with in 'God's Own Country'.

In UP too, the BJP had played the communal polarisation card to unite Hindus, including the Dalits, who constitute more than 20 per cent of the state's population and were ardent supporters of the Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).

Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi had helped polarise votes by raking up issues like Muslim graveyards versus Hindu cemeteries and Eid versus Diwali.

GALVANISING CADRES

The BJP is seeking to endear itself to the party and RSS cadres by taking up the cause of their security on such a large scale. The Jan Raksha Yatra will cover 11 of the 14 districts in Kerala. It will culminate in state capital Thiruvananthapuram on October 17. Amit Shah is expected to remain present on the concluding day.

Apart from Yogi Adityanath, senior Union ministers including Home Minister Rajnath Singh and chief ministers of BJP-ruled states, will also join and address the march.


This is sure to boost the morale of the Sangh Parivar cadres. The BJP would only hope this, in turn, would help the party during the 2019 Lok Sabha and 2021 Assembly elections.

Amit Shah is known for according importance to party cadres. In UP Assembly elections too, he had laid emphasis on the booth-level workers, by meeting them and holding meetings with them.

The BJP, which has just one member in the 140-seat Kerala Assembly, had garnered 15 per cent of the votes polled during the 2016 Assembly elections and 10 per cent in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. It is seeking to cross the 20 per cent threshold to become a third force in the southern state.

The party hopes that the UP template may come in handy.

Just saw on Zee news Hindi. ... Full coverage of Amit Shah's Kannur, KL padayatra - Jan samrakshan yatra - in which the star campaigner was Yogi Adityanath himself.
.
..... Shah's interview with the same journo was quite impressive, IMHO. Crisp, clear, factual, sharp, heartfelt at the same time objective and rational... I know, all-in-one. Modi' successor has been found, look no further than Amitbhai Shah.
.
The reason why Amitbhai Shah did well in interview was because paidmediamen had asked me difficult looking EASY questions so that he emerges as winner !!
.
Essentially, this shows that ALL leaders have become puppets of elitemen who own paidmediamen.
.
Because if leaders refuse to obey the elitemen, then elitemen will ask paidmediamen to ask tough questions that will finish the image of the leader. And as long as leaders obey the elitemen, the elitemen will ask paidmediamen to ask DIFFICULT LOOKING but EASY questions so that leader eremerges as victor on TV. Basically, all interviews are fixed interviews and puppet masters the elitemen who pay the mediamen
.
And viewers = voters and even activists have near zero DIRECT link to leaders. eg how many RSS voters DIRECTLY look at RSS YouTube channel to see what RSS leaders want to say ? NONE !! The RSS-voters get to see leaders via TV-channels and its paidmediamen only !! And same is situation of congress / aap voters.
.
------
.
The elitemen who are sponsoring Modji have been paying well to people like bikau-Sardesai etc to create a PSUEDO-NEGATIVE campaign against Modiji to raise Modiji voteshare in Hindus. PSUEDO-NEGATIVE campaign is an age old trick in paidmedia, where paidmediamen = journalist will be paid to speak comments which appear as negative, but increase voteshare of the leader !! eg bikau-sardesai will say "Modiji is bad ... Modiji is very bad ... he is anti-muslim he is anti-muslim etc etc" . Now these comments appear as negative, but these comment FOOL Hindus (particularly Hindus who are scared of Islamist threat) and make more and more Hindus vote for Modiji !!! But the puppet master here is the elitemen who paid bikau-sardesai to make these comments and he also bankrolls the channels.
.
All this explains why SoGa / NaMo / Arke all supported GST and ALL three opposed wealth tax on land !!! Because the elitemen own gigatons of lands (eg Godrej alone owns 3400 ACRES of land in mumbai alone !!!) on which they wanted no tax, and so only option left for GoI was to levry back breaking GST !!! The reason was --- all leaders now depend on tv-channels for image and tv-channels are all loss making, and funded by elitemen
.
---
.
Solution? Solution is that activists should STOP watching all channels, be bikau Arnab or bikau Paranb Roy or bikau Sardesai or bikau Sudhir chowdhary. And Activists should get INFORMATION about LAWS leaders are passing and laws leaders refuse to pass using FB / WhatsApp. And activists inform voters about laws leaders are printing and laws leaders are refusing to print. And long term solution top media problem is RIGHT TO RECALL DOORDARSHAN CHAIRMAN. All this will reduce stronghold of videshi-elitemen over leaders.

RSS ( = BJP) leaders are only fooling Hindus in the name of Hinduvaad , just as congress fooled people in in the name secualrism and app fooled people in the name of anti-corruption
.
Proof that RSS = BJP leaders including NaMo / Yogi etc are psuedo-Hinduvaadies
.
(1) What have they done to free Hindu temples from Govt control across India or even in RSS-ruled states? NOTHING
.
(2) Two child law can be passed as money bill or using joint session or using referendum. Have RSS-leaders passed two child law? NO
.
(3) No progress in expelling Bangladeshis. And inflow is same as before
.
(4) No attempt to publicize how much lands Missionaries own. No attemt to seize their plots or even impose wealth tax on it
.
(5) Nothing real on cow protection
.
All in all, Hinduvaad is just a tool for RSS = BJP leaders to collect votes, come into power and collect bribes, and do nothing else.
.
Now as nation faces increasing dangers from ( China + Pak), some seriousness will come in elitemen and leaders, and so some mega purchasing of weapons did happen in 3 years which had not happened in past 10 years. But other than that, on governance, it is same big zero. And India / USA strength ratio is worsening day by day and India / China strength ratio is also worsening day by day.
.
Solution is I propose --- activists should see that congress / rss / aap are all fakes and shouldf work to create REAL NATIONALIST POLITICAL ELECTORAL parties and groups across India. congress / rss / aap are now beyond repair.
.
(About RSS = BJP. Just as gangadhar and Shaktimaan are one and same, same way RSS and BJP are one and same. Over 99% voters in India know this, but "99% dont know that 99% know this" !! i.e. RSS = BJP is known to all, but still not part of common knowledge !!! Pls wiki on "common knowledge" to see difference between "all knows" and "all knows that all knows that all knows ....". Of course, many RSS-workers love to lie that they are different / better from BJP. I dismiss that as "why bother this lie .. after all, many people in politics lie". Even aap lies that IAC and AAP are different and congress also lies that congress and seva dal were different !! And CPM lies that its union and CPM are different. So ignore the lie that RSS and BJP are different)

USA doesnt have GST , service tax, has excise on just 10-15 items, no CST, and limited sales tax on some final goods. USA has NO lines of trucks at border. IOW, we do NOT need GST to remove truck lines at border. USA has simple law --- that except some 10-15 goods, state cannot stop movement of goods and services and cannot collect taxes on entry of goods. The state can collect tax ONLY when sale is made in the state.
That's because USA was created as a revolt against taxes of the British king in 1776 that is 241 years ago. India got its independence only in 1947 which is 70 years ago. You cannot compare a developed economy where people pay 40% of their income (along with other taxes like property, inheritance, sales, medicare, medicaid, social security, etc) in taxes. In India people pay ZILCH!
