Unemployment , Delhi Election

When Bapu, JP and Anna took the route of Satyagrah against governance, initially they all faced resistance but ultimately patience helped them reached their goal. We are all witnessing a similar movement today too. The present government is coming out with any false allegation to curb the ongoing satyagrah in Shaheen Bagh, Lucknow, Mumbai, Patna etc. 

But we should not forget that the spirit of the biggest of democracy in the world has never been able to be crushed. 

As the Delhi assembly election is picking up pace, it is interesting to notice the contrast in the various candidates. Out of the three main contenders only AAP is asking vote on its last 5 years development work and subsequently on next 5 year given road map. It seems like BJP has already accepted defeat as the party is back to its regressive policies of divide and rule. It’s trying to fight the elections by polarizing the Hindu’s. It’s top leaders (including HM, DM, Party President, Member of Parliament) are continuously raising  issues like Shaheen Bagh etc. to swing community votes and divert the core issues like Recession, Inflation, Unemployment etc.

Oyo, a leading budget hotel chain, recently laid off more than 1800 employees in India. This is just one of the many other companies that are doing massive layoffs in our country. I wonder what our present government and leaders are taking steps for our youth for employment and our economy? 

BJP doesn’t look like a party with a roadmap for our country. And the recent loses in the last 5 states shows people’s mandate as well. Delhi elections is a no-win and upcoming two elections will tough as well. Ultimately, you can go only so far with manipulating people and no economic development. I believe this party, unfortunately got caught in it’s own vicious circle

On Going Delhi Elections

Delhi elections are another proof that BJP is almost at the brim of “wisdom bankruptcy.” This party doesn't have any agenda or economic roadmap to present to our country. This further gets proven during every election when they rely on either Pakistan or Imran khan to retain power.

The way BJP leaders, including their President are reacting and showing frustration during election rallies, it appears that the intelligence reports are not in favor of BJP. Additionally, the way Home Minister has given a new jumla "if we come to power we will invest 1 lac crore.” This is the same type of jumla our PM had given during the last Bihar assembly election and we all know what was the unfortunate  result. Our HM lives in Lutyen since the last 6 years, why has he not done anything for Delhi since 2014, who had stopped him? 

In my earlier post, I mentioned how the undercurrent is in favour of AAP. I believe that will remain - certainly Hindu, Muslim, Pakistan and Imran khan are not going to pay any dividend to BJP

Delhi elections

We always heard that our country is the largest democracy in the world but yesterday the news of an International Agency downgrading our rating by 10 points on democratic front was truly disturbing and shameful. This is the first time this has happened in the last 70 years! Some of the reasons provided for this downgrade were the horizontal approach of Federal government and it's divisive policies. 

On 8th Feb, Delhi voters are going to vote for it’s leader. After a long time, I believe it's happening that the ruling party (Aam Aadmi party) is asking for a fresh mandate on the basis of their work and public service in last 5 years rather than regressive policies and agendas. 

No surprises that BJP, which is struggling to grab power in New Delhi since the last 22 years is propagating issues of Hindutva, CAA and religion because the party is short to name any development work for the society. This is despite the fact that BJP is the ruling MCD for the last 15 years. Congress is banking on the good work done by Late Smt. Shiela Dixit. The momentum is in favour of AAP and it appears like Delhilities are ready to give another 5 years to AK & it's team.

Delhi is a cosmopolitan city and voters are educated and intelligent. I am confident they will come out in huge numbers to exercise their voting power and uphold our democracy. This will be a testament that our country is united against the ideology that is working with the sole agenda to divide our society through their Horizontal policy.

Economic crisis and Unemployment

Each passing day it appears that our current government is neither focused nor willing to take any rational steps to bring back our sliding economy .

Our Finance Minister whose key responsibility is to work on our fiscal policy was busy addressing the media on CAA and NRC rather briefing the press about her plans to bring back our economy and control the inflation. It is ironical that our government is unconcerned with the financial issues when international organizations like - World Bank, Moody, IMF are all issuing alarming reports regarding India's financial health and have also removed us from the category of developing countries.

 

Additionally, our exports have going down heavily as well. Instead of coming out with some rational policy to boost up exports our leaders are suggesting to bring down the number of purchases from duty free shops while returning to India from Overseas. This would significantly impact the total turnover / profits of these shops and subsequently effect the reduction in man power leading to more unemployment

In support of Shahin bagh

Mahatma Gandhi’s civil resistance and “satyagrah” movement guided India towards Independence in 1947. Once again, our Nation has united and risen together for the sake of truth. 

Shahinbagh Satyagrah is an example of the widespread resentment towards our present government. I am hopeful it will enlighten more individuals against the divisive policies and violation of fundamental rights guaranteed by the constitution. Also, in a country where we worship goddesses, the comments made by the Spokesperson and IT Cell of our ruling “majority” party against the ladies protesting at Shahin Bagh is truly deplorable. 

I also want to draw your attention towards the treatment of foreign investor like Amazon in our country. At a time when our country is on economic doldrums - our ministers are busy criticizing Jeff Bezos reasons well known.Please note, Amazon currently employees more than x people and plans on further investment in the come years. My educated guess is that this shrewd criticism stems from Washington Posts’s (owned by Amazon) critique against the present government. 

Statement of CDS on Kashmiri youths are highly objectionable it looks CDS is making such type of statements to please his bosses who like such type of matters to be there to divert the attention of the people from core issues.

The present conditions in our country are alarming on all fronts - Economic Growth, Inflation, Law and Order, Student Unrest, amongst others. However, these ongoing protests gives me hope that our country is united and we will be able to protect our constitution and not let it be destroyed.

Nation wide Protests

.“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win” ~ Mahatma Gandhi 

I strongly and unequivocally believe that the fate of any country is in the hands of “Aam Aadmi” coming together and taking a stand. Yesterday (8/1/2020) was observed as Bharat Bandh day in India. It was called by various trade unions of sectors such as Banks, Insurance,Manufacturing, Railways etc. 

Every day in our country is yet another protest on a nation wide level. Although it’s good to see the country come together but with no doubt it reminds us of the pre-emergency days in which ironically even our present Prime minister participated actively as a student leader. 

Present governance as well as Delhi police are not yet able to identify the masked goons who raided JNU. Yesterday there was a protest in Delhi university and more surprisingly in St Stephen college this is the first time ever in the history of this institution that students protested like this.

By observing closely, any one can decipher that this corporate backed present govt doesn’t have any clue how to address the present crisis and they are trying their best to divert the core issues. The cancellation of our PM’s Asaam visit twice in a month (which is his own party ruled state) shows their desperation 

We the people of India still hope that the present government will start addressing the problems vertically (rich, upper middle class, middle class, poor, bpl) rather than  horizontally (Hindu / Muslim) so our nation can be back on track.

Student unrest and Present Governance

The way universities are getting attacked  and education of those institutions are getting disturbed its really not an encouraging sign for the country, particularly only those universities are getting attacked where in a student wing of governing party is not getting entry inspite of their best efforts , the worst part is that these universities are of  international repute and highly acclaimed.

What ever is happening not good , one can understand power of youth is always a challenging factor for  the governance when its fail to deliver on all the front ie solving the problem of  Unemployment, economic recession, controlling  inflation , law and order. I can say running a particular one state with censorship is easy but running  the entire country with the same thinking is impossible .

With the past history i can strongly say " more you  try to crush student protest it will be much stronger" 

In all part of country protests are going on including all section of countrymen.

Now Elections in Delhi are announced and poll survey is not et al favourable to Bjp , prey that the elections will be peaceful without much problems to the Delhi residents.

Jai Hind.

Present economical situation of India

It's seriously disgusting that due to 39% bhakts remaining 61% country men are suffering in all the corners , economy is going down , inflation rising  is on unstoppable  stage ,  from poorest to poor till upper middle class society is struggling for the survival , former economic advisors of present governance are cautioning the government that the present economic situation will soon be an   economic disaster , instead of solving all this the present governance is bringing/ raising  one or other controversial issues to divert the focus of the countrymen from core issues , touching the RBI reserves is a  proof of the economic problems . I don't forcee any one Is there in the present government who can bail out the country from ongoing economic problems .

Since present governance is more inclined towards corporates and that too with few corporate families that effects no circulation of money , until and unless money doesn't revolve no solution. This is the sixth year of present governance and the way we are moving ahead country future looks in negative under the present governance.

The way student unrest is raising it's voice in different parts of India , it's the only new hope towards the solution , our history tells us whenever students come forward governance changes and country start prospering , it happens all over world , will happen in India too.... Jai hind.
