hello gals!!
just read the discussion from where i left yesterday! nice points coming up...
i am not a fan of any political party...but yes for now i am in full support of Modi for center...he is doing some really good things...and the growth rate is quite good indication of that. another good thing is the way he is putting India on the world map. yes there are challenges, some wrong decisions...but then when you are running this big democracy its not easy. in the last 8 months many initiatives have started...but it is going to take time to see the results on the ground level. people have become way too impatient.
So i would deifinitely give him atleast these 5 years and then access what he has done. 8 months is too short a time. and if he fails to deliver i wont really be supporting him.
condition of farmers - this is not something that the current government is responsible for. its a result of what is happenning for all these years. and i wont blame the past govts also fully for it. India still lacks technology and infrastructure at many places. so i do have hope these things will change.
India is a mix of everything rich, poor, caste, culture so to carry along all these differences is not easy. you cannot only keep the rich happy and you cannot only keep the poor happy as well.
anything in excess is going to ruin things. and didnt the past govts work in more interest of poor...what benefit it has done to them? Dharavis are still being made and they increase every day.
atleast PM now has a vision of 100 big cities...even if they are successful in making 10-20 in total in different states...lot of migration to metros will stop. thing is to create work in smaller cities and for that as well capital is needed. if there is no investment no jobs will be created.
my husband is from Bihar...and his village is like in the interiors.electricity was 4-5 hours a day, but after the new govt...all the villages get 20-22 hours of proper power supply. isnt this a development. roads have improved so much...they are just like any good roads in Mumbai. for me this is development and this is for the poor because majorly they form the villages.
coming to religion and minority community - well past govt was always a minority supporter...did that improve their condition? better than the majority? not at all...it was just their vote bank...
i do not agree with that good governance day nor with the 'Ghar wapsi' nonsense..though this is something from VHP...but they are linked to BJP so the muck is going to come..it is imp for ruling party to change and i think if they become completely secure it will be a good change. you cannot do good by just appeasing to one community..it can just give you vote bank.
just forgot to add...in gurajat during the road improvement projects lot of temples were also removed ...but this was never highlighted...if you have to do development you need to think beyond religion and minority.
AAP is a fresh party with fresh thoughts and since the party has lot of well educated people i do have high hopes that they perform well. but the flip side is they do not have people experienced in governing ...specially a democracy like ours...they will of course learn the game. but till then it is wait and watch. And hope people of Delhi also give them these 5 years to work and prove their mettel. If AAP does good it is going to be good for the country as well, we will get a strong and positive contesting party in next elections. You always need a good opposition to perform well. and i am glad BJP lost this election, atleast they can now retrospect and improve.
just reminds of Chetan Bhagat's line: "A population that votes on promised freebies rather than a wealth creating economy is destined to stay poor".
in our case - too much of either is going to take us down. hope all the ruling parties (center and state) understand this and work with a proper blend.
Ufff Yeh Love Hai Mushkil
