NDA a divided house and more letters to the editor

NDA a divided house

As per the opinion poll, it quite certain that NDA will rule the country, unless a drastic change of heart may alter our fate. A country with 81 crore voters and ten crore newcomers which are added to the voters' list, are prudently visuliasing the hidden anger among top BJP leaders. Consensus on any issue such as ticket distribution, admitting tainted leaders from Karnataka in the BJP fold or its choice to select a constituency has come on the mat publicly, is a sign of organisational mis-governance in the BJP.Navjyot Singh Siddhu is not happy to contest election from anywhere. Jaswant Singh wants to be independent contender to poll battle. Advani skips core BJP meetings, where list of candidates for Lok Sabha are decided. The Gadkari vs Munde feud in the open to give tickets to their personal friends, was pathetic.
We in Pune are ashamed to know it took so long to decided candidate yet for the city's prestigious seat from BJP. Sushma is unhappy that tainted BJP leaders are contesting from Karnataka.Our 2014 election will be more historic in our post-independent era, where nearly 60% Lok Sabha contenders are from political families as we are forming new Maharajas who can double the wealth in five years.
Most striking are virtual kicks from Kejrewal, who after his personal visit to Gujarat stated that in the last 10 years of Modi rule, Adani multiplied his wealth 12 times and Ambani is sponsoring Modi's election rallies.Farmers' lands have been confiscated to benefit big business houses and corruption exists in Gujarat at every level. Modi is silent on Gas price hike from April 2014, Why?
Since these revelations, Modi's tone of speaking in rallies lost vigour that we've seen was one month ago. He did not answer Kejrewal, and has not even filed a defamation case. God Save India!

Why is the Henderson Brook Report not declassified yet?
Defence Minister A K Anthony has said that contents of the Henderson Brook report were leaked online last week by Neville Maxwell. This was not only "extremely sensitive but of current operational value". If that matter is so serious, then Anthony must explain in what way the leak can affect the "current operational value". Currently, New Delhi and Beijing are making an attempt to recast relations. In this context, Anthony's reactions need to be more specific on the matter, especially about what he meant by "current operational value". In his book, Maxwell has said that Nehru's "forward policy" of setting up forward posts under Gen R N Tapar failed. Maxwell also stated that Nehru's favorite IB chief, B N Malik, was the primary mover behind the "forward policy". It is time for India establishment to explain why Henderson Brook Report is not yet declassified.

CII should try to protect the agro-industry too
At the outset, let us congratulate Chetan Tamboli, CMD of Steelcast and Sanjay Kirloskar, CMD of Kirloskar Brothers who have become chairman and dy chairman of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Western Region. In the industrial world, everyone knows that CII is an NGO supporting the industry especially the automotive industry, as a representative to handle their problems with government. The CII is playing good role in solving industrial problems.
But after the hailstorm and heavy rains hit our agriculture lands adversely, resulting in total loss of crop, it is felt that CII should open up at the agriculture front to make improvements in equipment that helps preventing any sort of natural calamities. Therefore, it is suggested and pointed out that mass public of India is in need of food, shelter and not cars, even though vehicular production and sale is higher. Along with automobiles, the agro industry also should grow. Hope CII will consider this industry as well.
