BJP’s 2016 mission: ‘A Trinamool-free Bengal’



Much like Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s successful campaign for a “Congress-free” nation in the Lok Sabha elections 2014, the West Bengal BJP will give a call for a “Trinamool-free” state in the 2016 Assembly elections, said Siddharth Nath Singh on Sunday.

The senior BJP leader and in-charge of Bengal also rejected any possibility of an alliance at the Centre with Trinamool Congress. 

“There might be talks with the Centre and state ministers but as far as political proximity is concerned, we are daggers drawn. We will take Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to task for her failure. There is no question of cosying up with the TMC,” Singh said at a press conference in Kolkata.

Narendra Modi needs your help: Here is why

For Modi's vision of a great India to become reality, the Indian citizen must become part of the movement.
For Modi’s vision of a great India to become reality, the Indian citizen must become part of the movement.
From the afternoon of May 16, there has been a continuous stream of articles telling us what Narendra Modi ‘must’ do. The barrage of articles continue till date, most of them telling us what Narendra Modi’s top most priority ‘should’ be. These ‘must’ and ‘should’ advice varied from withdrawing security cover to Robert Vadra to ushering in massive structural reforms in the governance system. I have no doubt in my mind that most of this advice is well-meaning. It also reflects the stringent and demanding nature of citizens and, in some cases, exposes the extremely low patience levels we possess.
I have been wondering though, what ‘should’ we, the citizens, do to contribute to this mission? What ‘must’ we do so that we get the sense of having contributed to the betterment of the country? A few points that Modi made in recent speeches provided an answer.

Health min plans to give 50 essential medicines free


After recently prescribing the need for 'bitter medicine' to resuscitate the ailing economy, the Narendra Modi government is, seemingly, working on contours of a social welfare healthcare project to sweeten the deal for the citizenry. For starters, the health ministry's vision is to provide 50 essential generic medicines, free of cost, from "birth to death" to all Indians across the nation.


"Fifty basic essential drugs address 75% of the healthcare needs of the majority, and we plan to make these available free to everyone, from birth to death," Union health minister Harsh Vardhan told HT.

Modi brings in 'Achche Din' for tourism


The scorching summer affecting most parts of India seems to have had no bearing on the tourism industry. Rather, the tourism sector got a boost at around the same time that the new NDA government took charge.

The latest data of the tourism ministry showed 4.21 lakh foreign tourists came to India in May as against 3.84 lakh tourists who visited India during the same period last year. "There has been a growth of 9.7 per cent in May 2014 over May 2013, as compared to a growth of 2.5 per cent registered in May 2013 over May 2012," said a senior official of the tourism ministry.

Modi's pet project GIFT likely to create 10 lakh jobs


Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pet project Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) has the potential to generate over 10 lakh jobs by 2022, an official said.

GIFT city, which is being developed by the Gujarat government, aspires to cater to India's large financial services potential by offering global firms a world-class infrastructure and facilities.

"It is a pet project of Narendra Modi. He was monitoring it personally when he was the chief minister. What we are doing is that we are implementing his brainchild. New Chief Minister Anandiben Patel has also been a part of the project.

The Truth of Railway Fare Hike




The Indian Railways for the last few years have been running at a loss. The only way that Railways can survive is when users pay for the facilities that they avail. The passenger services have been subsidized by the freight traffic. In recent years even freight fares have come under pressure.

On 5th February,2014 when the UPA was in power, it was the Railway Board which proposed a 5% increase in the freight rates and a 10% increase in the passenger fares. The proposal was to rationalize the freight rates with effect from 1st April,2014 and the passenger fares with effect from 1st May,2014. Even as the Interim Budget of the Railways was yet to come, the date 1st May,2014 was chosen hoping that the General Elections would be over by that day. The Railways had proposed that this increase would give the Railways an additional revenue of Rs.7900 crores. Armed with this decision, the then Railway Minister Shri Mallikarjuna Kharge met the then Prime Minister Shri Manmohan Singh on 11th February,2014. The then Prime Minister approved the hike and suggested that both freight and passenger fare should be implemented with effect from 1st May,2014 itself.

The Railway Board accordingly notified this increase on 16th May,2014 when the Election results were being declared. This decision gave effect to what the Railway Board, the Rail Minister and the then Prime Minister had concurred. The Railway Minister developed cold feet and in the evening of 16th May,2014, even after the UPA had been defeated in the Elections, he countermanded the order of the Railway Board so that theoretically the decision taken by him and the then Prime Minister is implemented by the Railway Minister of the NDA Government.

By withdrawing the countermanding order, the present Railway Minister, D.S. Sadananda Gowda has taken a challenging decision. The choice before Shri Gowda was whether to allow the Railways to bleed and eventually walk into a debt trap by following the policy of the UPA Government or implement the decision which the UPA Government had taken to increase the fares for both passenger and freight but did not have the courage to implement . A loss making railway will provide below-par services. It will eventually not even have the resources to pay its’ bill. India must decide whether it wants a world class Railway or a ramshackled one. The Railway minister has taken a difficult but a correct decision.

MIT's Sloan School of Management plans to roll out the red carpet to Narendra Modi



NEW DELHI: A year after the Wharton Business School's India Economic Forum unceremoniously cancelled the then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi's keynote address, Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT's) Sloan School of Management is planning to roll out the red carpet to India's new Prime Minister, potentially becoming the first among the top-ranked American business schools to do so.

"The process is under way to invite the prime minister this year or the first half of 2015. Ultimately, it will depend on the mutual convenience of the Prime Minister and the MIT president. So, a firm date is hard to forecast right now," said S P Kothari, deputy dean at Sloan School of Management.

Narendra Modi will make Indian Railways world-class


The Narendra Modi Government in its upcoming budget is likely to introduce high-speed trains on the lines of those running in Japan, China and several European nations. The move will give India a giant leap to fulfill its ambition of joining elite club of high-speed trains. This will be a part of reforms in the cash-strapped Indian Railways, which needs immediate attention.
As per a report published in Hindustan Times, new Railway Minister DV Sadanand Gowda, in the run up to his maiden budget presentation in Parliament next month, is going to revive the two-year-old plan favouring off-the-shelf purchase of high-speed train sets.

US lawmakers seek to honour Modi with address to joint session of Congress



Prime Minister Narendra Modi may be invited to address a joint session of US Congress during his visit scheduled for end of September, an honor not extended to every visiting dignitary.

US House of Representative's foreign affairs committee chairman Ed Royce set the ball rolling on Friday requesting Speaker John Boehner to invite Modi to address lawmakers.

"With more than 500 million people voting in the recent Indian election, it was both the world's largest democratic event and a historic moment for India," Royce wrote in a letter to Boehner, signed jointly with Congressman George Holding.

"The US must now work closely with Prime Minister Modi to strengthen the important relationship between the two countries."

Modi government reconstitutes six Cabinet Committees


New Delhi: After scrapping four Cabinet Committees, apparently in an effort to minimise decision-making process, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government on Thursday reconstituted six Cabinet Committees. 
The six reconstituted Cabinet committees are the ones on Security, Political Affairs, Parliamentary Affairs, Economic Affairs, Accommodation and Appointments Committee. 

“The government has reconstituted six committees of the Cabinet i.e. Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, Cabinet Committee on Accommodation, Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs, Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs and Cabinet Committee on Security,” said an official statement. 

The Appointments Committee would comprise the prime minister and the home minister, according to an official statement. 

The Cabinet Committee on Security would comprise Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Finance and Defence Minister Arun Jaitley. 

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs would comprise of the prime minister, home minister, external affairs minister, finance minister, Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu, Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Railways Minister D.V. Sadanand Gowda, Communications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapati Raju, Food Processing Industries Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal, and Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh.

The Cabinet Committee on Accommodation, on political affairs and parliamentary affairs were also reconstituted.

Modi government takes steps to control " RISING INFLATION ".




New Delhi: The new government led by Narendra Modi imposed export restrictions on certain farm commodities and ordered a crackdown on hoarding to control rising food prices, a day after wholesale price inflation hit a five-month high.

A jump in prices of potatoes and onions last month drove inflation to 6.01 percent from 5.20 percent in April, contributing to a sell-off in financial markets.

Prime Minister Modi, who was elected last month amid widespread anger over rising prices, has made tackling inflation his top priority.

Forecasts of weak monsoon rains that irrigate much of India's food production have added to inflation fears, and volatile vegetable prices have risen by double digits.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who held a meeting on Tuesday to decide steps to control food inflation, said the government was keeping a close watch on the price movements of 22 commodities and would offload additional rice stocks in the market to prevent a build-up in inflationary expectations.
 
The government also imposed a minimum export price on onions of $300 per tonne from $150 per tonne to discourage overseas shipments and Jaitley said a similar curb would be imposed on exports of potatoes.

After Tharoor's 'Modi 2.0' praise, Jairam Ramesh calls PM India's Richard Nixon


New Delhi: Within weeks after Congress leader Shashi Tharoor was criticised by his own party for overtly praising the Prime Minister, it is now former rural development minister Jairam Ramesh who has dared to ruffle a few feathers by calling Narendra Modi 'India's Richard Nixon'. 

During an interview, Ramesh said that Modi has the ability to emerge as India's Richard Nixon while handling China and Pakistan as he enjoys the flexibility which his Congress predecessor Manmohan Singh lacked. 

How Narendra Modi May Have Evolved into 'Modi 2.0


When Narendra Modi swept to a dramatic victory in India's general elections, becoming the first prime minister in three decades to command an absolute majorityin the lower house of India's fractious Parliament, many in India worried about what his victory would portend. To political opponents and members of India's liberal intelligentsia, Modi was a divisive, sectarian, authoritarian figure who had presided over the massacre of some 1200 innocents, mainly Muslim, as chief minister of the state of Gujarat in 2002. The thought of such a figure leading a diverse and multi-religious polity that had long been built on the "Nehruvian consensus" developed by the Congress Party, was anathema to many.

In the event, Modi overcame this negative perception, re-branding himself as an apostle of development and pointing to his successful record in Gujarat, a state of high growth rates that under his leadership has been a magnet for investors. His brilliantly-organized, lavishly-funded election campaign saw "Hindutva", the ideology of Hindu chauvinism with which he and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have long been identified, relegated to the back burner, while Modi promised voters he would remake India in the model of prosperous Gujarat. The electorate rewarded the BJP - which had never previously won more than 186 seats in India's 543-member Lower House - with 282 seats, as the National Democratic Alliance led by the BJP claimed 333. The ruling Congress Party, of which I am a member, was relegated to its worst showing in history, winning a mere 44 seats.

Tough Steps ahead for Fast-Track Economic Development: Modi

15 tough steps PM Narendra Modi could announce



Fuel subsidy reforms
Strong chance: Diesel subsidy will soon be phased out; a monthly increase mechanism for LPG and kerosene may come.

Food Bill recast 
Likely: The scope of the food security bill could be scaled down to target only the poor.

Fertiliser subsidy rationalisation 
Some price reform: Food security needs require higher use of fertilisers. Some rationalisation of urea prices likely.

Fiscal consolidation 
Likely to continue: Staying with fi scal consolidation road map will enhance credibility of the new government.

New taxes or higher rates 
Not likely: It could dampen corporate and consumer sentiment that is on a high.

Spending curbs 
Focus on revenue deficit: Gujarat govt under Modi gave special emphasis on maintaining revenue surplus.

PSU bank mergers 
Likely: PSU banks could be merged to create bigger ones.

Amendment to Land Bill 
Likely to be reworked: Infrastructure development and industrialisation will suffer if it is not reworked.

Labour reforms 
Announcement likely: Rajasthan govt has already tested ground with some measures.

Railway fare increase 
Very likely: Railways high on Modi's agenda. Its revival needs steady rise in fares.

Slower MSP increases 
Strong chance: Food subsidy bill and inflation management require slower increase in support prices for crops.

PSU reforms 
Top priority: PSUs likely to get greater powers, those on the brink may be shuttered.

Food Corp & CIL recast 
Strong chance: Coal India has failed to keep pace with demand, and FCI's inefficiencies add to the food subsidy.

Rejig in tax slabs or higher exemption rate 
At most, minimal relief: Fiscal consolidation does not give much room for personal income-tax relief.

Recast of NREGA 
Will see a radical revamp: It has many adverse effects and requires to be fixed.




Impatience, over-exposure caused AAP's downfall: Kiran Bedi



Kiran Bedi a member of India Against Corruption tells India Today Deputy Editor Sandeep Unnithan the causes of AAP's downfall.

Q. You had refused to join the AAP despite a very tempting offer from the AAP leadership. Now, nearly a year, later, do you feel vindicated?

A. I knew what I did not want to do then. I did not want their politics, whether they win or they lose. What mattered to me was what I did not want to do and work with! I am happy to have listened to my inner voice/intuition

Q. Exactly what went wrong with the party? Was it the lure of political power, personal ambitions or that they scaled up too quickly?

A. Total impatience! Unpreparedness, over reach, unilaterlism, manipulation, over- exposure, overestimation, negativism, holier than thou approach, over-confidence, lawlessness, rowdyism, self centered, uncivil behavior. Do not wish to hurt anyone. But this was evident.

Q. Do you sense a loss of momentum that AAP had generated especially after the assembly elections in Delhi?

A. Indeed. Lost trust hugely, for those who have kept track of them. I am not sure of those who did not have the capacity to.

Q. What is the future of the movement against corruption? To what extent was it about removing the government of the day, the UPA.

A. The IAC movement spread the anti incumbency nationally which was further aggravated by incapacity of the UPA led by Mr Rahul Gandhi. While on the other hand the same anti-incumbency was fully exploited by the organisational capability of the BJP, convincingly articulated and communicated by the tireless Mr Narendra Modi

Q. The NDA govt has shown, at least to begin with, that they would like to use the existing system to work by empowering the bureaucracy and officials. To what extent does this clash with the AAP's model of bottom-up governance?

A. BJP/NDA leadership has begun right earnest with caution, maturity and wisdom. It's backed by huge experience and capability. It is moving steadily and surely. BJP knows it has huge challenges and promises to meet without loss of time. There is just nothing to compare with upstarts!

Some AAP legislators to support BJP to help form government in Delhi

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs may support the BJP to form a new government in Delhi.

Sources in party said that a section of AAP MLAs are mulling over an option to support the BJP to form a new government in the national capital. The decision is being considered as the talks between AAP and Congress have not reached any logical end.

 A source in the party said that the AAP MLAs are not confident over their chances of winning the Delhi assembly elections and thus are looking at other options to avoid the elections.

As per the anti-defection law, if one third of the elected members of a party switch sides, it is considered a merger and does not invite disqualification of the members concerned

40,000 activists from TMC, Congress & CPM in Bengal join BJP


KOLKATA: About 40,000 political workers in Jangalmahal belonging to parties including Trinamool Congress, Congress and CPM switched their allegiance and joined the BJP.


The state president of the BJP, Rahul Sinha — who held several meetings at Lodhashuli, Gopiballavpur, Nayagram and Mohanpur in Jangalmahal area on Sunday — claimed that the workers had joined the party in the hope that it would be able to counter ruling Trinamool Congress' reign of terror in the state since the recent Lok Sabha elections.

Sinha said among those who joined his party was Antara Bhattacharjee from CPM who was the West Midnapore zilla sabhadhipati when the apex panchayat body in the district was under control of the Marxists. The zilla parishad was ruled by the CPM till 2013, when Trinamool Congress won the elections. Bhattacharjee's house at Pingla in the district was allegedly attacked by Trinamool Congress activists during the 2013 panchayat polls. Another heavyweight Trinamool Congress leader from the district, Ashok Senapati, also joined the BJP, Sinha said.

"Trinamool Congress activists had organised a protest demonstration near Nayagram before my meeting with the disgruntled workers from different political outfits," said Sinha. Some activists from the Jharkhand Party also joined BJP during Sinha's visit to the area which was once a Maoist stronghold. "This was my first visit to Jangalmahal after the Lok Sabha polls and I have got tremendous response from thousands of activists who are very keen to join us. But we are not taking everyone and are using our network to know about the credentials of these disgruntled workers," he said.

Meanwhile, a BJP team from Delhi led by the party MP Balbir Punj visited Ilambazar in Birbhum district on Sunday and met the family members of Rahim Sheikh, a BJP minority leader who was allegedly murdered by Trinamool activists on June 7.

Narendra Modi lists Do's and Dont's for ministers


Borrowing a leaf from the book of his predecessor Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ordered all the Union ministers to submit details of their assets, liabilities and business interests to his office within two months.
Likewise, the ministers have been directed to severe all connections, short of divesting themselves of ownership, with the conduct and management of any business in which they have interests before being appointed minister.

The Union home ministry has issued a code of conduct for the ministers after the incumbent BJP gave orders to renew it. Hit by relentless attacks on allegations of corruption during UPA-II dispensation, then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had asked his ministerial colleagues twice — in 2012 and in 2013 — to declare their assets and business interests.
The Code, whose observance will be monitored by the Prime Minister, also asks ministers to uphold the political impartiality of civil services and not ask civil servants to act in any way that would conflict with their duties and responsibilities.
It also asks the minister to "ensure that his family members do not start or participate in business concerns engaged in supplying of goods or services to the government and there should be total prohibition on employment of spouse and dependents with a foreign mission".
The ministers are supposed to disclose all particulars of their immovable properties, total approximate value of shares and debentures, cash holdings and jewellery owned by self and family members.
The other commandments:
Buying from or selling to the government any immovable property, except where such property is compulsorily acquired by the government in usual course.

Starting or joining any business, ensure that the members of his family do not start, or participate in, business concerns, engaged in supplying goods or services to that government.
Report to the PM if any member of his family sets up or joins in the conduct and management of any other business.
Not to accept contribution for any purpose, whether political, charitable or otherwise.
Pass immediately any purse or cheque presented to him for the organisation for which it is intended.
Not to associate with raising of funds except for the benefit of a registered society, or a charitable body, or an institution recognised by a public authority and a political party.
Not to accept valuable gifts except from close relatives.
Divest themselves of all interests in a business and also of the management thereof which supplies goods or services to the government or whose business primarily depends on licenses, permits, quotas, leases etc.
Spouse and dependents should not accept employment under a foreign government, in India or abroad, or in a foreign organisation (including commercial concerns) without prior approval of PM.

Narendra Modi kicks into gear with defence, dam projects


India's new government kicked into gear this week, clearing billions of dollars worth of long-delayed defence projects, including a big navy base, as well as approving the scaling-up of one of the country's biggest dams.
The decision to give the projects the go-ahead despite concern about their environmental and social impact signals Prime Minister Narendra Modi's no-nonsense approach to issues he considers to be important for national security.
The clearances were made over several days and were the first major decisions from the government that swept to power on May 16 on promises of getting Asia's third-largest economy moving and building a stronger country.
Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar said the government could not compromise on efforts to build military and civil infrastructure on the border with China as well the west-coast naval base in as an alternative to crowded Mumbai port.

As well as the $2 billion extension to the Karwar base in the southern state of Karnataka, Javadekar approved a radar station in the Andaman and Nicobar islands in the Bay of Bengal.
A defence source said he also planned to fast-track road building along the disputed border with China.
Javadekar said China had built infrastructure in the Coco Islands, which are controlled by Myanmar and just to the north of the Andamans.
"If you have a situation where China is sitting in front and we won't do anything, how can you run the country like this," he said in comments made available to Reuters on Friday.
The radar station proposal had earlier been turned down because the Environment Ministry under the last government saw a threat to the Narcondam Hornbill, an endangered bird species.
The radar on Narcondam island is one of 18 that the military has planned, running north to south along the Andamans, which straddle the strategic seaway leading to the Malacca Straits.
This year, India's patchy radar meant it was unable to say whether missing Malaysian airlines flight MH370 had passed over the islands.
Modi met China's foreign minister this week and is likely to visit Beijing this year, but he is also keen to quickly build up border defences that have fallen far behind India's neighbour.
The 63-year-old's first foreign foray will be on Sunday to tiny Bhutan, a Himalayan buffer between India and China that has long been a close Indian military and diplomatic ally.
HIGHER DAM
Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party has promised to end a prolonged period of paralysis at the Defence Ministry where weapons acquisitions and infrastructure contracts were frozen because of fear of corruption scandals.
Javadekar said he had also cleared the second phase of a naval base in Karwar, on the west coast, that had stalled because environmental activists had warned the ecology of the Western Ghats mountains would be affected.
The base is intended to take the load off Mumbai port, used by the navy and civilian ships. The navy has also said it wanted a more secure base to berth its latest aircraft carrier.
"Mumbai is a target. We need an alternative. It is of strategic importance," he said.
The Environment Ministry is also trying to fast-track roads and defence projects classified as strategic.
Radars and telecommunications projects within 100 km (62 miles) of the 4,000-km (2,500-mile) border with China, large parts of which are disputed, will be put on an automatic approval list, a defence source said.
As well as the military projects, the government on Thursday approved a long-stalled proposal to raise the height of the Narmada dam to 138.73 metres (455 feet), from 121.92 metres (400 feet), so more water will be available for drinking, irrigation and power generation.
The project will benefit Modi's home state of Gujarat. As chief minister of the state, he campaigned for approval to build the dam higher to protect farmers from drought.

Amit Shah: Modi's master strategist who shaped BJP's dreams


None would get misled by Amit Shah's Hindutva outbursts in the recently concluded Loka Sabha Polls if one were to spend 90 minutes talking to Shah on diverse issues. For, one would find that the architect of BJP's splendid performance in UP is not just a sharp political strategist but also has a very good take on issues to do with governance. Whether he is talking about finance or about defence or about rural development Shah reveals deep knowledge of every subject so what if he can't converse in English. His sharpness on each topic is revealing. What is more, he gives determined solutions to problems in these sectors. His take on import of fighter planes on which country spends thousands of crores of rupees: ' Manufacturing our own Sukhois in a time-bound manner should be one of our main aims. Why can't a country that excels in technical brains dominating even places like the Silicon Valley do it?
Shah, a science graduate from an business family of Mansa town in north Gujarat, did a good job of finance management in all the portfolios he handled including Home and State Road transport before moving out of Gujarat and so was largely considered good in governance, particularly the finance management part. But a lot of his new vision came during his two-year banishment from Gujarat by the Supreme Court in the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case in 2010 and 2012 when he used the time at his disposal to meet and connect with experts of diverse fields in Delhi and add to his knowledge in focussed areas of governance.

Management skills came to Shah in family legacy as his grandfather was an administrator in old Mansa princely State and had played host to Shri Aurobino Ghosh nearly 100 years ago at his impressive mansion when the latter was working as an administrator with the great Vadodra ruler Sayajirao Gaekwad. Then Aurobindo left a note on his grandfather's request listing the principles of good governance which Shah very fondly recalls. One of them: A king should always try to take decisions which benefit the mass and not individuals. So, it is not uncommon to see an odd individual accusing Shah of use-and-throw attitude against favours taken.

The way he managed the UP Poll strategy for BJP shows his strategic skills. Thanks to Mayawati's politics of grafting the upper castes like Brahmins on the old Dalit and Most backward OBC vote bank of Kanshiram, the BJP was in total disarray at village and booth levels as BJP' traditional supporters left the party at ground level. As BJP supporters were hijacked by other parties no robust attempt was made to fill up the vacuum. The situation became so bad that there weren't enough workers to drag even the few committed voters to the polling booth. So, in the first four months of taking the charge Shah reconstituted all the booth committees in the State with precise caste representation to affect a semblance of balance. Booth committees are the backbone of BJP's electoral politics unlike in Congress where personal charisma matters more than ground level organisation.

One of Shah's first aims was to reactivate the old party loyalist, many of them from the RSS, in running of party affairs and reduce the overstated importance of leaders who had joined BJP from outside in recent years. Those who had joined the party in the past few years jumping from other parties but had managed to become district BJP president were given marching orders as a matter of principle with the promise that they will be considered at the time of ticket distribution. Drafting of the old guard back brought back into focus many of the old Brahmin and Bania elements nurtured in the RSS-BJP order.

But in a deft move in the second part of his UP innings, a move was aimed at addressing the strange caste-based arithmetic of UP, Shah managed to give almost 50 per cent of the tickets in the non-SC/ST category to OBCs representing all major OBC sub-sections. What was great about the move was that most of these were drawn from the BJP's own cadres and were handpicked by Shah on basis of his precise feedback. Never before the BJP had given so many tickets to OBCs in UP. And many of these were OBCs were either nurtured in the BJP-RSS ideology. Says Manish Manjul, an RSS functionary working in the cultural and media field in UP : " Shah has proved that he is indeed one of the most consummate political strategists in not just the BJP but across the political chessboard. What is more he is ideologically committed in comparison to many other BJP leaders". There is one more facted to Shah, who draws staright from Chanakya like his mentor, Modi. . He is an artful negotiator and is a good mediator between warring groups.

Shah is respected in the BJP and the RSS for his commitment to core RSS ideals. He is against appeasement of all including the religious minorities but at the same time isn't discriminative when he is himself in power. Reportedly, entry of some Muslim leaders into UP BJP was stopped at his behest on the eve of the polls though Modi wanted them. Shah's argument was that Muslims leaders should be taken into the party only if they have political strength and numbers and they genuinely agree with the BJP ideology of 'appeasement of none and justice for all' and not for the sake of maintaining the party's secular image. On his controversial speech describing Azamgarh as Atankgarh in the polls he is reportedly unapologetic. Says a Shah supporter: " Numbers and facts prove Amitbhai right. Actually it is the so-called local secular Muslim leaders and their supporters who should be apologetic about it. They should in fact be assuring us that they would change the situation and bring the strayed Muslim youths back on path. Instead of that they seek our explanations ".

If Modi has no family Shah has only two members in his family, his ultra-pious wife Sonal, and his enthusiastic son Jay, both of whom stood behind him like a rock during his bad phase between 2010 and 2012. Jay. An, engineer by qualification, Jay is now an official in Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA). Shah shares a symbiotic relationship with Modi for whom Shah is indispensible as political strategist and loyalist who understands Modi's political mind and development vision like no one else. Shah, is however, not flawless. He is poor communicator at individual level and has to offer suffer because of that. As Gujarat home Minister his handling of the police bureaucracy was very poor and because of that both his boss Modi and himself had to suffer. Interestingly, when Amit Shah went to jail in 2008 in the Sohrabuddin case and many predicted his final political downfall an intuitive astrologer, Niranjan Shukla, whom he consulted, predicted that Shah will rise like a phoenix in the days to come. Those days have come.

PM Narendra Modi tells Lok Sabha how he will do it

-I assure you that we will fulfill the promises made by the President in the speech: PM Narendra Modi

-Let me share an experience. I was new as a Chief Minister of Gujarat. I said that i want to put 24 hours electricity in homes. Everyoneclapped tables. An opposition leader objected on this. How will you provide 2000 MW daily. It was obvious. But it was completed in Gujarat. 
-After many years people voted for stability,development and good governance: PM Narendra Modi
-The Parliament has many veterans. If a new person like me makes a mistake then hope you will forgive me
-This house has high parliamentary standards
-Its expected for some leaders to ask and worry as to how I will do so much work
-I was told in Gujarat that it would be possible to give 24 hr supply, but it became a reality.
-It is natural to have doubts about the idea of 24*7 electricity, it hasn't been done until now

Highlights of PM Narendra Modi's maiden speech in Lok Sabha


NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday responded to President Pranab Mukherjee's address in Parliament on June 9, saying that his government will fulfill the promises made by the President in his speech.

Making his maiden speech in Lok Sabha as Prime Minister, Modi said that his government will be devoted to the poorest of the poor and stressed on converting the country's image from "scam India" to "skill India".



Following are the highlights of Narendra Modi's address:

* Will leave no stone unturned in implementing roadmap outlined by the President in his address.

* We will empower the poor to enable them to fight poverty and come out of it. 

* No one will leave villages if they are developed, provided 24 hour-power, good education and industries. 

* We should concentrate on agro-based industries.

 

* Our aim must be to serve the poorest of the poor and to think of their welfare. 

* We are sincerely committed to bring down prices. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that nobody sleeps hungry. 

* The country needs real-time data on agri-products to deal with price rise. 

* We have to stop politicizing rape. We are playing with the dignity of women. Protecting women should be the priority of the people of this country. 

* We should plan from today how we will celebrate Mahatma Gandhi's 150th birth anniversary after 5 years. 

* We have to do focused activity to change the lives of Muslims; they cannot be left behind in development. 

* Our image has become 'scam India', we have to convert it to 'skill India'. 

* We welcome criticism, in a democracy, criticism gives strength and it will guide us. 

* We need to focus on skill development, decisions have to be taken with great courage.

* I don't want to move forward without you (opposition), I don't want to move ahead on basis of numbers but on the basis of collectivity.

* We don't believe in big brother attitude towards states, we believe in cooperative federalism. There should be competition among states for development, I want to hear states saying they have left Gujarat behind.

US media discovers in Narendra Modi a 'New Fashion Icon'

Narendra Modi: Fashion Icon

WASHINGTON: Narendra Modi, who was unwelcome here only a few years ago, is now a "fashion icon" to the American media.
After his stunning electoral triumph, three major USpublications -- Time, New York Times and the Washington Post -- have lauded the new Indian Prime Minister's dressing style from his "trademark Modi Kurta" to his tunic.

The New York Times in an article titled 'A Leader Who Is What He Wears' says that "even by the standards of a world that has seen blogs devoted to Michelle Obama's dress sense, the pre-election makeovers of Francois Hollande and Dilma Rousseff, and the canonisation of Nelson Mandela's shirts, the image-craft of India's new prime minister, Narendra Modi -- and its fashion fallout -- has been something of a case study."
Its says that even by "India's standards where leaders have perhaps understood the use of clothing as a communication device better and longer than any of their international peers...Modi stands out. Literally and strategically."
The Washington Post also lauds Modi's dressing style, saying, "Move aside, Michelle Obama. The world has a new fashion icon. And no, it's not Vladimir Putin, despite his fitness regimen -- it's India's new prime minister, Narendra Modi."
"Narendra Modi is apparently the next big thing in Indian fashion," the Time magazine said in an article yesterday. "With his shortened tunic, or 'Modi Kurta,' Narendra Modi is becoming as celebrated for his style sense," it says.
