What people say about us!

Several have come, many have also gone even without coming to know the ABC…. of 'Power Journalism' but it is only you who could have an insight about the corridors of power.

Chhattisgarh is now role model for Uttar Pradesh too !
With many of the reforms introduced under the National Food Security Act being already modeled on PDS reforms implemented in Chhattisgarh, it is now the turn of Uttar Pradesh to follow suit with Yogi Adityanath having said in Gorakhpur the other day that they will follow Chhattisgarh pattern. They are sending a team to Chhattisgarh to study the ingredients of the system. Chhattisgarh government led by Chief Minister Raman Singh, it may be pointed out here, has introduced a series of major reforms to the delivery and procurement of PDS food grains. Chhattisgarh government's PDS reforms have been lauded time and again for effecting a dramatic improvement in PDS performance in the state so much so that even the Supreme Court has once observed that why Chhattisgarh could not serve as a model for the rest of the country.These reforms are widely believed to be responsible for the state's success in improving the distribution of food grains through PDS.

Democracy ?
While BJP won more seats in UP, but CM, A N Yogi did not contest and is not a MLA. So where is the question of People's Mandate ? He has been thrust upon the people by High Command of BJP .This is not democracy.
S Gopal

Democracy in real sense
Democracy in real sense as said by Lincoln is For the people, By the people and of the people. But never happens. It is a Dream Project which is never true and up to winning elections.
NGT and Pollution norms entering in petty issues like ban on slaughter house, Consumption of liquor etc. will slow down growth.
It was legal earlier and part of food and main attraction of tourism and employed crores citizen. Over dose of any thing is bad. Illegal could have been legalized.
Employment will be badly hit and rehabilitation will be another problem.
