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.

How do you (surfers of whispersinthecorridors.com) see the two most powerful leaders of the World ?

THINK TANK

1. China interest in Nalanda University may be the outcome of some historical /confidential Chinese documents might have been lying as lots of Chinese scholars viz Maghesthenese, Samrat Ashoka & Chanakya times documents lying and they require for self study and development. Chinese are very smart.

2. It seems we have no interest in Past History and not at all interested in self improvement and learning.

3.Acharya Chanakya was against High Taxes, Penalties and any harsh action against citizen.

Counting must be preponed

Holding of elections should not stop the constitutional functions of any government. At the time of announcement of polls in 5 states, there were frantic calls for the postponement of the National Budget for the obvious suspicion of it swaying the minds of the voters. Nothing has happened and budgetary exercise has gone as a non-event as far as polls in 5 states are concerned. Polling has concluded in Punjab and Goa on Saturday. But everyone will have to wait till March 11 for the counting of votes. This gap has been kept for the reason that electoral results in one or more states should not sway the minds of the voters in the states where elections will be conducted just within weeks. This generalized theory is irrelevant in the present scenario as result in Punjab and Goa, which are not border states to UP, Uttarakhand and Manipur and these do not have any common lingual or political affinity with these states, so there is no reason for doubting the effect of result of these states on the remaining three states, where election process is on. There is every reason to prepone the counting in Goa and Punjab. Secondly, the incumbent governments are almost rendered workless from the day of announcement of polls till the completion of the electoral process and formation of new government. In such a scenario, it is better if constitutional arrangements are made to promulgate President's rule in the states where elections are to be held, from the date of announcement till the formation of the new government.
