I'm go for my 11 am Coffee fix to my regular Coffee Shop .....only to find my Congi friend waiting for me ...all charged up. I order Coffees and Fruit Cake slices and ask him the reason for his excitement .

Friend : See...see ...our Yuvraj Rahul ji The Hope of Congress (THOC) is really taking on Modi and BJP in UP....he just called Modi a Peeping Tom ...Modi had said MMS takes a bath wearing a rain coat..
Me: Sheer Moorakhta of your THOC.....arre.... that was just proverbial way of taunting Congress ...how come despite the shower of corruption cases nothing has stuck on to MMS....after all PM is the Karta-Dharta of his Government...the Ministers are there on his pleasure ...
F: And what about his Janampatri barb..
M: Google 'Congress's Misdeeds' and you will get 90% of the Janampatri .....balance 10% he's just saying he can join the dots ..after all the Buck must be stopping somewhere ...or like they say the Gravy Train must be having a Destination Station ...and just for your info ..the news from UP is in the first phase BJP has done really well...
F: I doubt it ...THOC effect ....the Cycle now has a Guiding Hand...
M: Punctured Cycle ...Handle missing on account of anti incumbency ...Congress seated on the carrier is holding SP for dear life with The Hand ...Aki going to end up with a torn Kurta...
F: UPites will be enthused with Aki's promise of 24 hour bijli...
M:Please tell me which city ???
- Sapna(pur) or Khwab(abad) ?? Get BJP and see the change ... Centre is trying to Electrify India ...it's Opposition State Governments that are not cooperating ...Governments that order their Bureaucrats not to be cooperative...
F: See how benevolent Didi is ...she's set up a Fund for those affected by the Demonetization..
M: Ha ha ..and I'm sure 90% will go to a certain community ...example ...Bengal Plan allocation...2815 cr for Minority Affairs and Madrasah Education ...Large Industries, MSME, Textiles, Tourism and IT 2154 cr. Didi is just trying to save face...she now knows Public has in fact appreciated the Demonetization step ...she's just trying to get some brownie points ..she knows who doesn't like free cash ..
F: See now even Sena has drifted away from BJP..
M: Are you sure ...it's the Seat Sharing for BMC elections which couldn't be resolved ..otherwise Sena still part of NDA ..it's got one Minister in the Central Government ..Sena feels it's taller in Maharashtra whereas BJP feels it has now outgrown Sena...
F: But Udhav criticises Centre's policies ..
M: So...it's a Democracy ...it's unlike UPA when .... even so said friendly Allies distrusted Congress ....I think here Sena is being a spoilt Brat and BJP is being the Mature older Bro...
F: Trump and Modi are the same ...Trump's facing a rebellion in US.....
M: Trump and Modi put their Nation's on top...they both are against appeasement ...difference is Modi is a Grassroot Politician... Trump is a Billionaire turned Politician... Modi has huge experience in running a Government ...Trump has huge experience of running businesses ...
F: Our THOC ji..
M: He's a Parachute Neta...whose parachute malfunctioned and he landed miles from his target .....why ...why ..do you ask such comments.. even ardent Congis are uncomfortable with THOC...they would decipher THOC as ...The Hopelessness of Congress ..now cool down and have a good laugh... in TN the owner of the Resort where pro-Sasikala MLAs are staying ..may petition Guv that he has the support of max MLAs and he be made the CM..

My Congi friend gives a wry smile and we move out .

DEBATE

How do you see the two most powerful leaders of the World - Donald Trump and Narendra Modi ?

Some people see Donald Trump as Narendra Modi of the USA. Like Modi in 2014, they say, Trump touched the raw nerve of the US citizens in 2016 to win a decisive victory.

If Modi, with his magnetic electoral campaign, won an absolute majority for his party for the first time in 2014, Trump also staged a spectacular campaign to win the top job for himself.

DEBATE (1)

Trump if fanatic. Modi is spiritual. During the past three years of his tenure, we have not heard from the side of PMO about a son, daughter, son-in-law, dauther-in-law roaming around the PMO. Further, Mr Modi during the 9 days of Navarata does real fasting. He drinks only warm water. He is the first Prime Minister of the country who is paying for his food bills in the PM's Official Residence at 7th Race Course Road, New Delhi.

DEBATE (2)

Modi & Trump - Another similarity in both is that both of them are not being allowed to work their way. Congress is not letting Modi work, and Judiciary not letting Trump go his own way!

First Budget with serious goals in mind

For the first time in many years the Budget for 2017-18 has been prepared with serious goals in mind and it stays clear of populism. Improvement of the farm sector ,rural infrastructure, removal of poverty, encouragement to start ups, small and medium industries, skill development, some tax relief to middle class by taking more money from the rich.But the opposition must decry it as directionless. First Nitish Kumar found it so followed by the Chief Minister of West Bengal who used the words clueless, issueless etc. etc. Rahul Gandhi of course heard only the couplets Finance minister quoted not the other details of the budget. So for him it was shero shyri budget. Why these leaders missed on the important directions covered by the Budget. Donation to the political parties in the form of electoral Bonds and revealing the names of donors for donation above 2000 instead of 20000 as hither too are big ticket reforms. When will our political leaders display the maturity of praising where praise is due and not always criticise for the sake of criticism alone their rivals in power. At sometime at least they should forget the vote bank politics.

THINK TANK

1.Nation is at stake
a. Studying has no future as no opening seen.
b. Business has no future as no growth and negative GDP. And variety of taxes and penalties.
c. Retired lives on their past saving and pensions.
d. Salaried people have no salaries rise and backlog payable 3 -4 months. And loaded with High rate Taxes and Penalties.
e. NRI has now no interest as not safe in investing.
f. Why Govt. is after Income Tax only when collecting taxes in the name of VAT, ED, Bank Charges, Road Tax, Toll Tax, Property, Municipal Taxes, Cess etc etc.
g. Goverment tried manufacturing and trading both viz Air lines, HPC Nepa paper, CCI cement Corpn , ASPDurgapur, Salem Steel, Viswaseria steel Karnataka , M P Roadways etc and incurred heavy losses. They can not run like Mallya because no body is there to question.
h. 37 Trillion losses to citizens due to digitization on line , 1.5 Trillion loss due to Insurance Fraud Companies and delay in action.
Why the need of digitization. It is not that easy due to population, education , Unemployment and people are not interested in getting cheated and beat around the bush.
2. Chinese are very smart. Time to time great Chinese scholars viz Meghasthnise visited in Chandragupta Acharya Chanakya Ashoka era. Chinese must be wanting from the Past History and this may be Gateway of entering India. As we are not interested in Past and History and not interested in learning. But Chinese are very smart.
