Abki Baar Modi Sarkaar!!

The wait is finally over! After almost a year of hard, backbreaking campaign by the leaders of all political parties, the public invested their faith in the BJP lead government. The credits go to the charismatic Prime Ministerial candidate Mr. Narendra Modi, who made it possible for BJP to bounce back from the cusp of being extinct after the 2004 & 2009 defeats. The scale of victory has broken the records of past three decades with the BJP singlehandedly getting a comfortable majority in the Lok Sabha and a huge majority when the list includes the pre-poll allies.

Congress has been reduced to tatters and has performed worst since independence getting fewer than 50 seats in a house of 543 seats. In five northern states BJP did a clean sweep and almost a clean sweep in UP with the NDA getting 73 out of 80 seats. The magnitude of victory has been so huge that even the top leadership din't expect such a performance.

Existence of regional parties have come under question with the most prominent BSP not been able to get a single seat in the country. SP has been reduced to five seats with all five belonging to its supremo Mulayam's relatives. The communists have been reduced to a mere 10 seats.

The much touted AAP has performed poorly in the General elections. Loosing all the seven seats in Delhi its face saver has been Punjab where it secured four seats due to double anti-incumbency against the existing state government. The party was confident of securing more than 100 seats and was seeing itself as the king maker in the post poll scenario. Apart from Punjab the AAP has not been able to open its account elsewhere. Its heavy weight contenders like Kumar Vishwas from Amethi, Shazia Ilmi from Ghaziabad and several others from high profile seats in Mumbai and elsewhere din't even manage to come second or third despite aggressive campaigning since the last several months.

Arvind Kejriwal, the AAP supremo who advised Modi to concentrate on Vadodara constituency since according to his analysis the PM candidate was loosing by a huge margin in Varanasi against Kejriwal suffered a heavy defeat.

The BJP has come into power because the people of the country have been eaten up by the Congress and the 60 years long dynasty rule. Issues like corruption, red tapism, poverty and many others forced the people to act against one of the most ineffective and corrupt governments that India has ever seen. Be it finance, defence, HRD, external affairs or internal affairs the Congress government failed to perform on any front as the whole attention was on filling of personal coffers on the expense of the poor population.

lead to the defeat of Congress

Also, the campaign strategy and the proven work of Narendra Modi gave a ray of light to the people of India. The Gujarat Model which has been tested, tried and applied successfully by the popular Chief Minister proved helpful in influencing people about his credentials.

250 million people directly

Much has been said and done about the Gujarat Model of development. Now the nation has given BJP and Narendra Modi a bigger stage, a central stage where everything they do will make a dent on the world scale. Now is the time for them to act and prove what they have preached since the last one year. The stage is set to welcome Narendra Modi and his cabinet to come and put a stop to the era of mis-government which has reigned in India since the last 10 years. And to end it, why not say the couplet which even a two year old has memorized over the last 3 months, ABKI BAAR MODI SARKAR!!!!!

Sunday Mood: Haircut in times of lockdown - Why an expert is required!

Since the lockdown was announced people have often complained of not being able to remember what day of the week it is! Our Sunday Mood article reminds you that another week has passed and it's a Sunday yet again! The past week can be termed as one of the most turbulent for the mutual fund industry with a leading AMC shutting its debt funds virtually trapping Rs. 30,000 crores of investor money. But, our topic of discussion today is not anywhere related to the debt market or the financial haircuts that banks and financial institutions take on their loans! Enough of that discussion has happened in the week that has passed by over phones, conference calls & Zoom conferences. Lockdown has also brought in another type of problem for men which is the inability to get a haircut! With the Home Ministry quashing the hopes on 25th April of letting salons open the Indian men realized that it is still days for them to get their much-awaited haircut. But here was me, not ready to be bo

The ultimate money making trick

Image
Let's start with a small exercise. Let's list down all our expenses on a monthly basis from January 2020 till July 2020. You may not have a ready record but you can still note down your credit card dues every month. Also, from your bank account statement, you can get a rough idea of inflows and outflows every month. The result should look somewhat as described below. Have you done your charting? Are you surprised? You already knew that you are spending far less than what was your average expenditure during the pre-lockdown phase, but you will realize the quantum of fall only by performing this exercise. In the real-life example presented in the table above, the person was able to curtail expenses by more than 50% during the lockdown. Even post-lockdown the expenses are down around 20% from average despite the fact that impulse spending has increased due to the long halt on spending. A few questions that one may ask oneself based on the exercise are: What is the major portion of

Book Review: One Life is Not Enough - K. Natwar Singh

Image
Natwar Singh's autobiography is one piece which gives us an account of the history of India back from the times when princely states reigned in the country till the present day democratic set up. A highly successful IFS officer Natwar Singh describes his diplomatic career in a refined form picking up beads from the thread of memory line and presenting all major events in his 31 year old diplomatic career starting from 1953. A good judge of personality Natwar Singh gives a personality account of most of the figures that he talks about in his autobiography using metaphors and words that suit the underlying person the most. His descriptions of literary figures like E.M. Forster, R.K. Narayan, Ahmad Ali, Santha Ram Rao and many others leaves little to imagination with regards to the literary skill of these figures and their close association with Mr. Singh. With regards to political figures Natwar Singh gives a fair picture of each personality whom he encountered during his l
