Its not education alone miqsh. Its ur attitude and character that matter more. No doubt he is well versed on a no. of subjects. But does he have the strength of character to put all he has learned into practise for the benefit of millions of indians?? or will he end up as yet another sycophant of sonia gandhi remains to be seen

are you with the BJP govt.? atleast the congress are running a better show than them. doesn't matter if he is a sycophant or not, now the situation is getting better. :rolleyes:

[India1989]

Under Congress the Indian economy has boomed and there has been less communal riots. At the same time ethnic riots and terrorrism has increased and he is a bit soft person.

BJP govt was a uselss govt. They couldn't even prevent a riot. my god!!

[rohit khaitan]

Dont make rash statements. Dont simply go by words.. U ever heard shivraj patil or any of the senior congress leader in an interview...When ever any question on development is put to them.. They simply say i dont have the information... or it will be done (they never commit by when) And all their answers end with whatever soniaji says... its a democracy goddamnit...India is not a inherited territory of gandhi family.... And rahul gandhi... he never didn any job in life.. didnt finish even his graduation properly...Check out what priyanka did with an employee of gir forest gujarat... (simply bcoz he didnt arrange for her visit properly) check out what she did with someone who simply misspelled her title as vadera instead of vadra...

Quottrochi account was unsealed and thousands of crorers of tax payers money went wooosh........1984 sikh riots report was kept in a refigerator for long and all tehy said at the end was sorry... did they hand or jailed any politician involved????

Why dont your dear PM pass a bill in the parliament barring criminals from contesting elections... why was the bill rejected??? and the president sent it back for reconsideration.. did they even pay attention to it???

And u r talking of the economy booming... It could be hedge funds dear.. SEE the history of Thailand russia and malaysia b4 u get too ecstatic about booming economy. I hope we dont face the similary situation.

Dont just go by sweet words... See the ground realities...i am not for and against any person..But u really think that a person who cant think for himself at the moment can think for the whole country...

Does anyone in the congress party ever said that he s a better person then sonia gandhi is?? She is not half as educated as him..Just ask any congress man and you know what answer will u get...

I am not saying BJP or any other govt was great... But do we have to make a chocie between worse or worst... And if someone is worse and simply not worst .. should we praise him and applaud him or vote for him????

Why dont we ask these questions ot outselves...

[India1989]

all the parties are bad. YOu know what according to me all these politicians should land in jail.

ON second thought they are bringing our country down. Lack of actions.

Now seriously i have to make my own party which will be a real working party. It will be first party to not support corruption and work for the development of India.

Anyone willing to join me??? Rohit khaitan, its nice to hear your opinion. hey what do you think should be done. all the political parties are bad. You think if a new politicals party has money it has chance to win.

[miqsh]

parties are bad but we have to do with them. all we can say is point at the govt. and admonish them but we don't know the real situation really well at all. we should complain about them only after we have been in their shoes and handled the tense and delicate situations effectively.

[rohit khaitan]

I agree on this with u miqsh that we have to be in their shoes. We all have our limitations and we all make mistakes. But the important question that we have to ask is whether it was a mistake or was it an intent to decieve. And whenever we see ulteriror motives, be it an indivdiual or organisation, we have every right to question them and severly take them to task. With great power comes great responsibility. And these people do not even know their responsibilities in teh first place. They are a 100 yr old political party that still wants to run the govt the way indira gandhi did during emergency. Modern times demand fresh air. We cant accpet corruption as a part fo life. we cant let the govt devide us. We cant take tomorow as an answer for when the work will be done.... We the common men are working hard and sweating it all out. And if we entrust them our hard earned money its definitely not to be given away to quottrochi.

In my opinion first of all we have to work on our level. Dont vote for cong or bjp. vote for the candidate. If u do that there will be no shahbuddins and arun gawli coming to power. secondly dont give votes to any govt bcoz any govt offers u reservations or free electricity.. (remember nothing comes for free in life) Thirdly dont deviate from the topic. If narendra modi says what he did after godhra was right, we all know it was wrong wrong wrong.. If some m.p. supports killing of a danish cartoonist bcoz he drew some stupid cartoons the m.p.. is wrong wrong and wrong. If any mullah takes away the liberty or woman he is taking away her right to freedom and its wrong... if congress men killed sikhs it was wrong..

To sum it up look at issues objectively and not subjectively. Give ur opinions on issues and not individuals. Its not the individual but what he does that is right or wrong.. Dont support bjp or congress of bsp. support or condemn what they do or say..

Once we clear our mind of these clouds everything will fall in place..Dont use corruption to get ur small tasks done. Instead ask the person straight on his face. why??? if he does something wrong. Do not hesitate to call a spade a spade. We do not have to be diplomatic all the time. sometimes we have to straight and ruthless.

I will appreciate inputs from u guys as well.. a differnet perspective is always welcome.

[alpha]

Dr. singh is best .
Some may not like the congress party..but how cud anyone not like a professional like Dr. Singh in the PM's Post .
Manmohan is not an indian politician, he is an indian economist.
if india had a presidential system..and if DR.Singh was elected as the president..............der goes my dreams :p

[rohit khaitan]

So alpha if hes the best economist why he failed to force the states to remove octroi once the VAT was applicable..

VAT is a unified tax and i am sure the best economist knows it :rolleyes:


I am also sure that the best economist also knows that all students should be given equal opportunity. And 50 percent quota centainly does not mean equality. So mr. arjun singh is taking the decision without his consent???

And why did the best economist stopped the bill for liberalisation of farm sector after he had almost drafted it and finalised it on just one letter from soniaji. :D

And u know what.... after a few days soniaji will stand up and say that there will be no reservations or lesser percentage of reservation in iims and iits and medical colleges. And she will be projected as a heroine.. And ur best economist will again proove to be sycophant...

[India1989]

WEll instead of seeing what he cannot do we have to compare his works with other prime minister.

But who do you think is the worst prime minister in India's history.

I think its Jawaharlal Nehru. I will give you the reasons later. But if you say that he's good you have to show his works.

ok.

I will tell you why he's bad later.

[miqsh]

is some history testing going on?

If the decision making power is given fully to manmohan,he will choose the best among alternative choices..but unfortunately he is a puppet...he was nowere in politics when he was asked to become the PM by sonia, he is much more into his profession as an economist rather than in politics. He and our President is a dream combination to lead our nation....
But Parlimentary politics is much more than this,especially in a divided country like india :mad:
Good economics is bad politics

"""And u know what.... after a few days soniaji will stand up and say that there will be no reservations or lesser percentage of reservation in iims and iits and medical colleges. And she will be projected as a heroine.. """"""""

if this happens sonia's image will sink in the minds of the OBC's. So i dont think its a crafted plan to boost sonia's image.

[rohit khaitan]

Can any one force u to be ur slave unless u let him/ her use u???

A man is not a man if he cant stand up for his values and becomes a mere puppet in the hands of someone else..

And if hes such a mortal he has no right to be the PM and take decisions that concerns the lives of 100 crore indians.

[alpha]

Do you want the unprofessional Sonia to be th PM ??? n do you want ,Dr.manmohan not working for our nation..

Its the game of parliamentary politics........ everything is involoved in it
we dont want any "pervert" musharafs here to show stubbornness who makes every others slaves n uses others...... or do you again want a strong personality like Mrs Indira gandhi ??? :eek:

[rohit khaitan]

If i had a choice buddy i would sent all of them to kalapaani. And make them work 24 hours a day. Particulary rahul and priyanka gandhi. Dono ne bachpan se paani ka glass bhi nahi bhara hoga.

And Indira gandhi ... strong personality???? You forgot emergency?? she was a BITCH. you dont call bitches personality... you call a bitch a dirty ugly dead bitch...he he....

u said u want a bold PM... so Mrs.Indira should satisfy the criteria na

[miqsh]

yes i also don't know what is wrong with indhira gandhi. is it because she was the daughter of jawaherlal nehru? or is it because of her leadership skills.

[rohit khaitan]

Boldness is not the only quality u look in a leader. And certainly not if ur leader is emotionally dependent and full of pride for his/ her position.

Iqbal you can check this link for what happened during emergency..that should answer ur question

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indira_Gandhi#Emergency

There r good no of books written on it. Although most of them never got published during congress rule because of their strict control over media and doordarshan would only show what the govt decided.

And what happened in emergency is exactly what congress party believes in.
At that time state govts were dismissed under the pretext of Article 356.

Today govenrors of congress party are doing it. Take the case of goa and bihar assemblys.. Governor misusing his power under the direction of congress. Same thing happened during emergency. Indira influenced the president then. Fortunately now our president is strong and not yet another puppet of sonia gandhi

Take the case of quottrochi. They never cared to answer the media or public.

Did they ever let teh report on sikh riots in 1984 get published. And was one congress party leader ever convicted for killing of thousands of people.??

Take the case of reservations. Students are on hunger strike but the p.m. or others r not even speaking on the issue..Wheres accountability?? Do they even answer ur questions?? On top of that they lathi charged 17 yrs old, Under 18 citizens r the children of state and even supreme court dont punish them. But yes mr. arjun singh can...

Take the case of oil scam. Natwar singh resigned and sonia never chose to answer her involvement.

Take the case of priyankas visit to gir forest. She got the officer incharge there transferred simply because he didnt prepare well for her visit. She expelled somebody simple because he misspelled her sirname as vadera instead of vadra..

I am not carrying out a anti congress drive here.. but isnt this all enough to proove the line of thinking of this family?? Sanjay gandhi and rahul gandhi never even graduated properly.Except for rajiv gandhi working as pilot none of them have chose to work or earn for generations in their family. Indira gandhi had no freinds and personal life. A person so emotionally dependent and dissassociated from society is capable of ruling a country.??


However the worst thing is that they r not trasparent. Do you ever get to knwo the discussions withing the congress party??? The first sign of democracy is total transparency.. From congress and its ministers u get predrafted one line statements. And they never add anything else to it.. Just note it sometime

Who takes the decisions today in congress party? sonia gandhi or all its leaders??? you think its a democratic party??. Or a leader by inheritence and a bunch of sycophants all around her.

Garibi hatao ... aam aadmi ki sarkar...berojgaari bhata.. minimum 100 days of employment.. All these r big names for programmes that remain just on paper and to make sure that vote of 40 per cent of ppl below poverty line keep coming to them.

Religious equality, reservations for OBC is yet another vote bank politics which congress never fail to milk.

[miqsh]

okay then tell me if there is any body in that family that proved their worth.

[rohit khaitan]

I am not a historian doing a research on gandhi family. I simply said the things that i read about them.

And the only objective was to look at that family with a different perspective. Of course they must have done good things as well.

But can u really forgive crimes like emergency and sikh riots that killed thousands and destroyed millions.

And i said all that because our great great prime minister is at the moment taking orders from somebody who belongs to this family..

And unfortunately shes doing exactly what this family had been doing.

[miqsh]

what is sonia gandhi's recent scam? how has she hurt india now?

[rohit khaitan]

Do u think i am g.k. teacher?? start reading newspaper.

[miqsh]

sorry, but there isn't much the canadians find interesting about india in the daily or the weekly news. so what can we do now to stop this problems as fast as possible?

[India1989]

wat is her recent scam. I am unaware about this. Right now i am thinking about the security problems India is facing. So what is her recent scam.

[miqsh]

u visit rediff news and other stuff on india. so u should know about it don't u?

[India1989]

i am not much into political parties and sonia gandhi. I look at realistic problems and not the problem which a particular person faces.
