Hey Guys!
Now that the elections are coming, I thought of penning down some of my own thoughts. Let me first clarify that I am not a member of any political party nor it is a campaign for / against any of them. These are just my plain personal thoughts which I felt like sharing with you all. You may or may not agree with me, but at least I will be happy that after reading this you will be aware of certain things.
For the past few years I have been watching the development of my own country very closely. Here are some of the things that our current Government has done for us in past few years:
1. Terrorism:
Record number of blasts accross our country. And that too with *NO* breakthroughs even in a single case. Today we see some breakthroughs in investigations in Malegaon blast, but is it a coincidence that Congress suspects a remote BJP angle in that? Nobody talks about Home Ministers' failures in tackling external as well as internal security (anti-NorthIndian campaign in Maharashtra). Think about it!
2. Quota:
Quota for SC / ST / OBC has increased from 22.5% to 49% and nothing for General category which comprises only 36% of Indian population (yes, 36 percent is THE OFFICIAL figure). When protested peacefully, students are beaten like anything using forces and techniques that are used to control riots! It doesn't end there. Government claims that it has surplus fund to take care of this quota increase, then how do you explain 2% Education cess which is now 3%?
Just another fact on this issue. This quota is supposed to be for less-priviliged class which is defined as any SC/ST/OBC person with annual salary of less than or equal to Rs450,000 (Rs37,500 per month). How much do you earn? To compare it, officially in Delhi a 'poor' is defined as any person who earns less than Rs450 per month. Think about it!
3. Loan Waiver:
A loan waiver of Rs 60,000,0000000 (read as 60k crore) to farmers. Remember this is your own money which you paid as taxes. I am not saying Indian farmers are not facing problems, but who is not facing it in our country? Is this the right way to address those issues? And what have we got in return? Think about it!
4. Nuclear Agreement:
Considered to be very important for our country's future, the entire deal was balancing itself on top of a needle for what reason? So that Congress does not lose its seat in UPA Government. Any other reason for delaying this deal to last minute? It seems a party's importance stands much above that of country's. Think about it!
5. National Posts:
Whom do you want to be your CTO or even CEO? Your current CEO's son or shareholder's niece / nephew? Or any person who is eligible to take that position? Not taking away anything from Rahul Gandhi, tell me one credible thing he has done to become Congress' second most powerful person (apart from the fact that he is from Gandhi family). And now he has been pitched in for Prime Minister's post too. Rememember the advertisment from Tata Tea ... what's your qualification and experience? Is it that for Congress, family comes first when it comes to running the nation? Think about it!
6. Indian President is:
Ms. Pretibha Patil. Probably a good candidate but is she or can she be better than the most popular President of India, Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam? How come he never got an opportunity for a second term? Mere coincidence that it was Mr. Vajpayee's choice?
Similarly how come Kiran Bedi never became the Delhi's Commissioner of Police when every single person knew she is the right choice?
- So much is Congress concerned about themselves that even they appointed Shibu Soren to a good post just to save their Government.
- 50 years they ruled the country and still we haven't moved forward as much we should have.
- Economy opened in 1991-92 but the real development we saw only in 1999 (NDA Government).
- Delhi is on the verge of getting exposed during Commonwealth Games because of our tardy development.
Think about it! Your local Congress MLA might be good for you but your single vote decides who will be governing our our
country. Do vote, but just be aware about certain things that happened in past few years.
PS: Once again, they are just my plain feeling. If you feel what I feel, I would urge you to forward this to your friends.

hi nice post, everything uve said here is true, id say the bjp sucks big time too but there is one thing i absolutely definetly cannot tolerate - the ass licky attitude of the Congress toward sonia and rahul gandhi...... i mean commmmon we deserve better then leaders who attribute every success to rahul baba.
Thanks LB!
Yes, you are right. I don't have anything against Rahul and probably he might be a good candidate for our future PM. But before that he has to prove his ability like others. He should not be a natural option.
Also what I don't agree with is that Congress names all the developmental projects after Gandhi (Sonia Gandhi, Indira Gandhi et al). I believe we do have many more personalities who deserves such accolades.
