Modi ka jadoo..
At R Day Parade what did the UAE Crown Prince see!!
Kindly see the wonderful strategy of Modi ji.

He saw our Might,
And the Secular Fabric for which we fight!!

The Marchers and the Tabelues showed our diversity!!
We live with each other in good times and are one in adversity!!

Showed what the Terror lot want to spoil!!
And why for our way of life we toil!

Whatever the Naysayers and Critics say!!!
Day and night Modi they may flay!!

But fact is Modi's Diplomacy is bearing fruit!!
Pak's Best Pals are asking Pak to scoot!!

As it is getting the Crown Prince here as Chief Guest!!
Was for Modi's Diplomacy a huge test!!

India's interests are Trade and Indian expatriates!!!
Ensure terror activities from its soil UAE baits!

A survey shows if Elections held today!!!
Firmly in Power BJP would stay!!

Modi is India's choice for PM's post!!!
The competition is not even visible even 'on the coast'!!!

Industry saying things are normalizing!!
And have great hope in Budget that Jaitley is formalizing !!

Indians too hope for a Budget favorable for them!!!
Opposition is guarded and responds with just 'Ahem'!!

Demonetizaion effects ebbing fast!!
Soon Economy will moving ahead full blast!!

Indians want to get the sweet taste of Halwa FM served* !!!!
Hoping best for them he's preserved !

If the Budget directly tilts towards Industry!!!
Who will be back to his Suit Boot ki Sarkaar jabs is no mystery!!

And if it's too pro us (We The People)!!!
On Industry being ignored the real Mr Suit Boot will start to cus!!

Fact is Indians feel they've borne the brunt!!!
And hope the hopes built up are not a stunt!!

Actually decades of Congress rule have made us doubtful!!
Pataa nahi which Shock out of the hat FM may pull!!

Udhav is not like his Dad!!
Not even tad!!!

Had Balasahib been alive!!!
This wedge he'd never drive!!

We know why Udhav is upset!!
Started when Malai Ministries SS did not get!!

Then he got worried when BJP popularity rose!!!
And SS popularity hit new lows!!

Chalo the Balasahib bond between SS and BJP stays!!
And hope a role in the future it plays!!

US Stocks making highs,
Even as Trump re-looks at old ties!!

He's coming good on many promises he made!!!
And by Pseudo lot he too is being flayed!!!

Of course the Pseudos and Pressitutes opposing him!!
Try to show a future that's dim!!

Trump and Modi need to meet!!!
Each other ko with 'Hullo Achiever' they should greet!!

Confucius says...Strong Leaders know how to deal with criticism,
And never indulge in pessimism!!

* As a ritual prior to the Budget Papers going for printing a Gajar ka Halwa ritual is held in Finance Ministry and all involved in Budget Preparation partake the Halwa

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 ?

DEBATE (1)

Debating Trump & Modi
Here follows an extract from my book titled: "US Elections 2016 And After" (Pb Kindle):There is really no comparison between the two leaders excepting the role of the media. The media in both cases has failed to learn and continued to preach and make horribly wrong assessment of the public mood and the popularity of these two leaders with them. Otherwise Donald Trump is a rich man and Modi a not-rich man; Trump an astute American businessman and Modi a public servant in the true mold of Mahatma Gandhi and Vinoba Bhave; Trump a part time politician and Modi a full time one. There is one similarity though - both have attracted in abundance negative compliments from the media. At times it looked as if an aspirant to the highest office in the country needed a kind of a license from the media, an endorsement from the journalists and a ticket from the self-certified civil society members.
M L Gupta

DEBATE (2)

Major difference between Modi and Trump is that Modi has no one from his family or near and dear one close to beneficiary of power, and it is his greatest strength whereas trump can never live up to that. Modi is living his personal life of a saint, these are some of his strengths which no one in present day world will come closer.

A visible change in Punjab

There is complete change in pattern of support in Punjab for SAD-BJP Alliance on the following basis:
ü Large Women Voters have shown inclination again towards SAD-BJP Alliance. They have arrived clarity after watching AAP & INC State Functionaries/Leaders behavior reported by large section of Media comparing it with last 10 years of SAD-BJP Govt; actions. On the ground, Women Voters have realized & experienced the development, change & benefits reached to them.
ü Large section of Farmers are observing the propaganda machinery of AAP & INC more or less same which are based on falls hood whimsical & 420 type assurances, not looking realistic in comparison to what SAD-BJP Govt. had so far given them and in offering also, so most likely Farmers will again go with SAD-BJP alliance.
ü After inclusion of Sidhu in INC, at large people of Punjab looking the falsehood of INC as well as AAP on ground of Delhi State Govt. performances, day by day, it is becoming more clear to them. Now, one factor remains "Corruption", at the behest of Central Govt. in last one year, SAD-BJP Govt. has tried hard to overcome this factor by bring in transparency at least on the part of passing on the benefits to people which has factor in fortunately & become visible on many fronts and that might give sense to again support them since, they are aware about INC corruption, how much, they were in the past and AAP being only rhetoric, no action based on AAP Govt's performance in Delhi in last 2 years.
ü Considering the NAMO factor as well as performance of NDA Govt. in Centre in last two & half years may have clear impact on the basis of OROP, handling of Pakistan & immediate benefits to the farmers etc. And from top to bottom of Punjab Bureaucracy is in support of SAD-BJP Alliance considering the bad experiences with INC in the past and AAP Govt. in Delhi. Apart from Demonetization effects to Traders in Punjab, overall impact has been taken in strides by the people. As a Leader maximum reachability is with Mrs. Harsimrat Kaur Badal, she is outstanding/ phenomenon in communication so far.
