Dehati Aurat :: First repercussion of Rahul Gandhi Mindless Remark

Hours ahead of his first one-on-one meeting with Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan’s PM, is believed to have made a disparaging comment about Indian PM, calling him, a “Dehati Aurat”. 

It is most tasteless, insulting, village politician like, uncultured, derogatory, offensive remark by any Prime Minster to another Prime Minister  I have ever came across. This remark came from Pakistan Prime Minister after Sh. Manmohan Singh rightly describe Pakistan as Epicenter of terrorism of Indian sub-continent. 

You can listen the concerned video here.

In this video you can see Pakistani Moderator "smile" over the report describing this "Dehati Aurat" remark. This remark was made when the reporter & Ms. Barkha Dutt were invited by Nawaz Sharif over tea. However Barkh Dutt denied listening such remark. 

Listen carefully rest of observation by Pakistani reporter which is very important. He observed that after Rahul Gandhi's untactful handling his own Government which lowered Prime Minister position in eyes of not only Pakistan but all over the world, it would be not wise to talk with present Government/PM who is behaving like Dehati Aurat. Talks might be resumed after elections are over in India. 

While some were wondering why Nawaz Sharif would make such a tasteless comment, even if it was off the record, others felt that this was yet another sign of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh‘s weakness that anyone could mock him including his own party Babalog. Why one enemy like Pakistan would miss this opportunity to mock the Prime Minister in particular & India in general. 

The total blame lies on Rahul Gandhi & top confused leadership of congress party at 10 JP for uncalled for insult of our Prime Minister that too by Pakistan. It is not question of Rahul Gandhi intention but his immaturity in handling such issues when Prime Minister was on Important tour.

The soon this party who has leaders like Rahul Gandhi must go.

Please Go at once.

Food Security Bill-Just a Vote Trap

"Food Security Bill will require 60+ metric ton grain heavily subsidized to serve 800 million public who will be entitle to get grains under this scheme. It may require 125 lakh Crore rupees every year. Is it too much money?? Yes it is but less than a single coal scam."

With hardly anything positive, reeling under scams after scam, high rate of price rise, down-down economic growth, drifting investors, fiscal & current account deficit highest ever, growth rate at lowest ever, multiple expose, eroded government credibility added to injury, a PM who does not speak & ministers/spokesperson who don’t stop speaking, ever reluctant Yuvraj, stronger opposition, Congress shall be seeking third consecutive term at the centre under leadership of Sonia Gandhi. It may be desperately hoping that Food Security Bill will help it to win the electorate much like National Rural Employment Guarantee or Farmer Loan Wavier Scheme had helped her to win second term in 2009.

The first test of much hyped UPA’s Congress ambitious Food Security Bill will be in November this year when four states, Congress ruled Delhi & Rajasthan & BJP ruled Chatisgarh & Madhy Pradesh are thrown in election battle. With country reeling under miss governance, nearly absent government at centre, serial scams, high price rise, onion bring tears in general public’s eyes, falling rupee & stock market, lawlessness in Congress & its allies ruled states, Food Security Bill & Direct Cash Transfer benefit Scheme will be facing litmus test in November itself.

Food Security Bill will require 60+ metric ton grain heavily subsidized to serve 800 million public who will be entitle to get grains under this scheme. It may require 125 lakh Crore rupees every year. Is it too much money?? Yes it is but less than a single coal scam. What so ever it may be, FSB has to be implemented at all cost. Within Congress there are different views for Food Security Bill. While a big group lead by Sonia Gandhi believe that Food Security Bill is very much required, not for poor people of India but for Congress to win the election. So what so ever cost the country has to face, Food Security Bill has got to be passed in Lok Sabha & if not possible to implement it through ordinance. Actually ordinance has already been promulgated for Food Security Bill & bill is pending in Lok Sabha where opposition is opposing, asking amendments in the bill so that Congress does not take all credit of Food Security Bill. Sonia is not ready to give any credit not even to its allies what to say of opposition. Its IT section has already made big plan to take full advantage of this bill. But with Congress itself there is a group who think this bill not good for economy of country & to poor people too in long run. But as you know when election is at head who pays heed to fair & honest opinion.

The main question is will FSB prove to be gain changer as Sonia Gandhi & her general are hoping or it is being brought too late that too in most cumbersome manner to satisfy public who is frustrated over the act of omission & commission of this defunct government. Though Congress may be desperate & praying that this bill too works as previous bills worked in 2009 but it is not realizing that public is smart enough to judge what action is brought for their welfare & what action is brought just to make them fool for vote purpose.

Now problem is that though you may call this bill as pro poor but if you look into it with eyes in future, you will find many faults. At on hand UPA-II reduced subsidiaries in petrol & diesel on the plea that after all it is public who pay for these subsidiaries in indirect way. On other hand it is bringing FSB who subsidiaries too shall be paid by public only in indirect manner, unless & until scam money is voluntarily disclosed by these high placed people.  It’s argument for FSB are all falling flat not only because they are against common sense but also due to the fact the credibility of this government is at the lowest.

So what is wrong with this bill? Here are few points:

•  Sonia Gandhi & his arm-chair-experts General claim that FSB was in its election manifesto. If it was, why Sonia led Congress waited for four long years to bring this bill & when they brought the bill they are in so much hurry that they want to get it passed without proper discussion in the house.

• In last few years there were reports that grain is getting rotted at godowns at different places due to lack of proper up keeping. It was suggested upon that if government does not has proper facilities to store grains, would it not be more prudent to distribute the surplus grain among the poor free or at low cost? Shard Pawar, Minister in charge, replied that distribution of surplus grain among poor shall set a bad precedent & also it may have telling effect on government treasure. The Sonia Gandhi never intervened & thought of bringing FSB. 

• There are few models already working in different states very successfully. Centre never took finer points of those models to incorporate in FSB to make it more effective.   

We must consider why & under what circumstances, Congress led by Sonia Gandhi is so desperate to bring this bill.

• Since birth of UPA-II, as mentioned in this post, the government is facing one scam after other scam. One scam hardly dies, a new scam start showing its face from coffin.

• It is fighting its own demon inside & outside party. Partners are asking pound of the flash.

• Arm-Chair-Experts are making Pi-Chart to show country’s progress & property which has taken full beating.

• Man Mohan Singh who is their parliamentary leader never speaks even when he is required to speak.

• His ministers & spokespersons never stop from speaking without any insight, use filthiest arrogant word & think only their speech at nation TV & conference will win election for them.

• They have forgotten their own goal & to stop Modi is only agenda for them.

• Not secularism but appeasement of Muslim population has become their only agenda. They think only if Muslim voters are polarized, they can win election.

• Middle Class which supported them in 2004 & 2009 has moved away due to high price rise, inconsistence economic policies, unclear road map, policy paralysis, unstoppable national resources plunder by high & powerful, indifferent bureaucracy, Chine-Pakaistan uninterrupted intrusion in our border & government inability to stop it, down-down stock market, falling rupee value & above all rise of Narendra Modi as new hope for middle class including young generation.

• Rahul Gandhi, the Congress vice president, & their only hope is too busy with interior decoration while his house is on fire. Sonia Gandhi’s ‘pro-poor’ image has taken too much beating to counter Narendra Modi’s ‘pro-development’ image.

• The commercialisation of powerful political party positions and political blackmailing of various kinds has weakened the Congress from the inside in the last few years. His critics say Rahul lacks priority and doesn’t recognise the urgency of the times. When the house is on fire, his detractors say, you can't focus on the interior decoration. 

• Meanwhile, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is breathing down the neck of the Gandhi family and the Congress. Though infact, the Modi factor is also helping the Congress to shift focus from the scams and failures of governance to portraying the coming big fight as a battle of secularism versus communalism. 

If we take all above factors combined with other factors which can’t be discussed due to limitation of a blog post, it is most unlikely FSB will help congress much in upcoming election. All recent surveys are too indicating the same.

But…But…But… Congress is very old party. It knows how to fight elections though it has forgotten the method to fight corruption & other evils of the society & BJP’s traditional inability to cash on the situation & their infighting over prime-ministerial candidate, over ambitious regional parties & their leaders may pave way to UPA-III too.

Wikileaks :: Saeed Naqvi & Rahul Gandhi

The blog is reproduction of wikileaks, as per below given link, reporting for what Saeed Naqvi said about Prince Charming Rahul Gandhi. Sh Saeed Naqvi is senior Indian journalist. The writer of this blog has neither added or deleted even a single punctuation, word or letter.

Classified By: DCM Robert O. Blake, Jr. for Reasons 1.4 (B, D)

1. (S)In a March 1 conversation with Poloff, influential columnist and political insider Saeed Naqvi commented on Rahul Gandhi at some length. Naqvi prefaced his remarks by noting that he was a personal friend of Rahul's father, Rajiv Gandhi, and a well-wisher of the Gandhi family. Naqvi was initially delighted when Sonia Gandhi projected Rahul as the heir apparent, but has since lost faith. He claims that the word among Congress insiders, including those in the coterie surrounding Sonia Gandhi, is that Rahul will never become Prime Minister for several reasons. Saying that he "refused to indulge in gossip," Naqvi claimed that it is increasingly common knowledge that Rahul suffers from "personality problems" of an emotional or psychological nature that are severe enough to prevent him from functioning as PM. 

2. (S) Naqvi also claimed that his Congress contacts tell him that Rahul has failed as an MP representing the Gandhi pocket borough in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh. Congress purportedly hoped to create a revival campaign in UP based around Rahul and his appeal as a member of the Gandhi dynasty, but has now given up, as he "is causing more harm than good" and operates at cross-purposes to the state Congress leadership. According to Naqvi, Rahul has done nothing for UP except to make pro-forma appearances in Amethi, and has "made no impression on the people of the state." This is leading to growing discouragement that Congress will be able revive and take over the state from Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav and his Samajwadi Party (SP) any time in the near future. This growing impatience is reportedly fueling internal debates as to whether it would be better for Congress to accept a junior partner status and cultivate an appropriate regional ally, such as Mayawati and her Dalit-based BSP party.

3. (S) Naqvi stated that the Gandhi family always preferred that Rahul's sister, Priyanka, enter politics, as she was judged to be more intelligent and savvy. Arguing that Sonia Gandhi is an Italian mother, and "like an Indian mother," has a protective feeling regarding her son, Naqvi speculated that Sonia apparently went against her better judgment and selected Rahul over his sister as "heir apparent." Naqvi claimed that Gandhi dynastic politics had no future, as the family has run out of prime ministerial candidates with appropriate charisma. Indira Gandhi was the last member of the dynasty capable of being an effective PM and Rajiv would never have won re-election had he not been assassinated. Naqvi implied that the common impression among Congress insiders is that Rahul is far below even his father in political ability.

4. (C) Comment: Naqvi offered an unusually sharp commentary of views we have heard elsewhere. While our Congress contacts invariably hail Sonia as a "visionary leader" with a special feeling for India's "common man" there are few in the party who are willing to offer such glowing comments on Rahul. Rahul disdains the Delhi social scene, in contrast to most of his political peers. In the few instances we have come across Rahul, he has kept a very low profile and kept mostly to himself or close friends. Despite signs of growing unhappiness from Congress insiders regarding Rahul, however, he continues to be the subject of press reports that rave about his participation in the early January Congress Youth training camp and suggest that he is preparing to take the mantle of the "leader of young India" and "blossoming into a leader with mass acceptability." During the two-day youth training session, Rahul engaged in interactive discussions ranging from pesticides in cola products -- he was against closing the plants -- to defending the GOI,s globalization policy and economic reforms. Given this publicity machine that Rahul enjoys, we, unlike Naqvi, are not yet prepared to write him off just yet.
