Kejritis and RaGaitis afflicts Didi ...
My respected friend is still in Delhi and today we meet at a Hotel Coffee Shop and over Tea and Scones, Muffins and Cheese Sandwiches we get chatting ...
Respected Friend : Like I said Didi is going to get bad to worse ...now she's demanding a National Government with either Advani or Rajnath or Jaitley at the helm.
Me: How does she think she can achieve this ...
RF: Well she thinks her wish is a Command and Modi will be removed and one of her chosen ones will step in....
M: Next...
RF: She may announce Bengal separation from Modi's India ...
M: Really she's made Bengal very unstable ...I think she could very soon lose her Chief Ministership...
RF: Maybe she's itching for this to happen ...because then she will take to the streets and believe me you no one can beat her on the Street..
M:Yes as a CM she has very little to show ...so she feels a prolonged Street Fight is the only way she can be elected again ...
RF: If she wants to lead the anti Modi lot ...she can atleast be sensible ...I think after becoming a Volatile Kejri now she has a bad case of RaGaitis too....RaGa has Leaders waiting for him...when is he coming back ..
M: Akhilesh is waiting for him...and RaGa has to prepare to lead a Congress Delegation to China... I think Indianeeds to issue a Disclaimer ..India as a Nation is not responsible for anything that RaGa says or does while inChina ..for all complaints please Contact Congress Party. ..
RP: And mark my words Akhilesh will soon realize the association with RaGa will spell doom for SP in the long run...but some lessons have to learnt ...
M: I hear one more Party has joined the Line of Losers... Satbir Singh a so said OROP crusader says his Organisation will support Congress ..
RF: See the irony ...he's supporting the Party that discarded OROP and then refused to give OROP... as I understand he's itching to become a Neta .. at one time he was attempting an entry into AAP and IAC too!!
M: The Sahara Birla Papers have been summarily rejected by SC ...
RF: See this was a hit job by the infamous Luytens Gang ...which wants Modi out ... collection of individuals who have lost out .. Power and Moolah raking because of Modi ...
M: I heard this Gang ...even has some Famed now infamous Journos ...Sir it's being said 97% of the dud Notes have been deposited in the Banks..
RF: Good ...so the Currency via new 2000 and 500 notes is back into circulation... a lot of Currency has been De-Lockerised....now its for the IT to vet and pronounce judgements on the Deposits ...I expect Government will rake in 1 lac crore via Penalty Taxation....
M: You are looking at your watch ...in a hurry ...
RF: Yes ....let's go to the Bookshop in the Lobby.. want to buy a few books ...aha .. today's joke ...why did Jaya Pradha go to meet Mulayam a couple of days back....well Mulayam is a Pehelwan and his acting abilities are 0 ...and as this fight between Father and Son is a Drama ...Jaya was requisitioned to teach him acting .....
We have a good laugh and move out ..

Post Demonetization
Demonetization process is almost over and impact and results are still to be seen.There are various views on positive and negative short term effects. Long term positive effects still to be seen. It is being alleged economic emergency is imposed, ED/CBI/Income Tax departments are being used selectively, going slow in recovery of loans, not honoring Govt. statements like old notes can be deposited in RBI upto 31st March 2017 with a declaration, no enquiry on deposit upto 2.5 lakhs in account during the demonetization period etc. But Demonetization has strengthened the middle class, traders, professionals, tax payers etc. and biggest achievement is all money is deposited. Now the Govt. can use this money for welfare schemes. Govt. has to go smooth way to bring non-tax payers to tax payers category without much aggressiveness. To show justice has been done to poor, middle class etc. it is submitted Govt. may consider the following:

1. Cashless transaction in party fund as being promoted for others.

2. Election to be fought from tax paid money i.e. issuing an amendments in IT Act. for necessary provisions to make party fund taxable.

3. Immediate action on defaulters like Demonetization for recovery of loan.

4. Monitoring or gate keeping of FE transactions.

5. IT department to help non-tax payers to bring in tax payers category with helping attitude and awareness programme without creating fear and harsh actions in their mind.

In order to have better results of Demonetization and growth of economy Govt. to take friendly action for implementation of various schemes. Good results will be seen in days to come and country will progress after this "Scared Movement". All the best for excellent results.

India must accord diplomatic recognition to Taiwan
China has no business protesting against Dalai Lama's visit to Mangolia and, of late, Bodh Gaya. It continues to provide 'stapled visas' to Indians from Arunachal Pradesh, staking its claim on Indian territory besides making frequent incursions. Opposing India'a entry into NSG, let alone, permanent membership of Security council , Chinais refusing to declare Azhar Masood as a global terrorist. Its aggressive posturing in south- China Sea is a matter of grave concern for international community. China had forced ONGC Videsh (India) to pack up in the midst of exploratory operations in South-China Sea as per agreement with Vietnam.

Construction of Gwadar port in Baluchistan and China Pakistan Economic Corridor by China pose threats toIndia's security. The geo-political situation is fast changing in south Asia with the emergence of rogue nuclear power states like Pakistan and North Korea - both irresponsible and unpredictable. China is untrustworthy.

We must learn from history or else the same will get repeated. Discarding One-China policy, India must work towards according immediate diplomatic recognition to Taiwan China . The USA , Russia, Japan and other countries of South Asia must be kept in the loop so that they could follow suit. This will act as a bulwark against bullying by communist China .One hopes, the PM, the NSA and the MEA mandarins examine the urgency of the above suggestion.
