The analysis of the three speeches recently delivered by PM, Modi,, Sitaram Yetchury and Rahul Gandhi by Shiv Visvanathan (23.4.15) in the Hindu



The analysis of  the three speeches recently delivered by PM, Modi,, Sitaram Yetchury and Rahul Gandhi by Shiv Visvanathan (23.4.15) in the Hindu news paper conveys exactly , the feeling of the nation that socialistic centric Indian development agenda and secularism are  not in peril though it seems like that due to the brutal majority of the ruling party in the Lok Sabha and their  economic behavior and anti  minority moves . Even the Communist and the  Congress party workers who were in the dejected mood all along would have energised  by  the speeches of their not so old leaders .Modi’s firm belief in  growth via rapid industrial development  through massive domestic and foreign investments in that sector and by pampering that sector at the expense of agricultural sector has displeased  the economists, sociologists , opposition parties and the vast majority of the Indians equally . Delivering speeches in such a way as  to please the Diaspora and getting articles written in praise of the Indian Prime Minister will not help in solving India’s complicated economic, political and social  problems . It is neither born out of sound  knowledge in  economic nor political issues related to India

AAP and the crisis



I disagree with the opinion of many political experts that ,  AAP is   it’s leader’s voice because  people of Delhi voted for Arvind Kejriwal. Can  anybody argue  that his charisma alone made him the chief minister with brutal majority in the Delhi Assembly? Can we ignore the hard work of  thousands of volunteers who toiled  to reach out and convince the voters  to give them another chance to rule Delhi in spite of the political blunders committed by Arwind Kejriwal ?  Can we ignore the contributions of the credible and intellectual  founding members of the party in shaping AAP’s constitution , core principles and the framework of the party ? When a fundamental mistake in deviating from the ethical principles of AAP  which made that party as a “party with a difference” is committed , Prashanth Booshan and Yogendra yadhav  have every right to raise that issue and fight for course correction   in the initial stage itself in the interest of the future of AAP since, AAP is their brain child too. . After all, they are echoing the voice of  several young volunteers who have even given up their lucrative jobs in India and abroad   to help AAP. If cult has emerged in AAP. It is the  right time to convey publicly   about it , if ,well meaning advice in camera is  not  given due consideration . We may say surgery is painful and expensive but done in the right time, it  can save a life.
