Smriti Irani is not the right choice to become the CM of Gujarat

There have been news floating around that Union Minister Mrs. Smriti Irani will become the next Chief Minister of Gujarat. If that is true, then let me tell you being a gujarati that she is not the right choice. 

I have been watching the former TV actress representing BJP on TV debate shows since 2008. She lacks all the virtues necessary to be a state leader, like calmness of mind, decency in speech and above all ability to think with a long-term perspective. She has got involved with about a dozen people in severely bitter debates, some of which have dragged her to the courts too. Being tough with your opposition is good but being rough and brutal with them in your usage of language is bad. That reflects your lack of acumen, shortage of ideas and inability to remain cool under pressure situations. Violence can not happen just physically. It can also happen in words, in your language when you speak such words which are termed as indecent in public life. Smriti is used to such words. She has attributed Rahul, Sonia Gandhi, P.Chidambaram, Manmohan Singh and such other congress leaders with such adjectives in the past that no body who has watched her speaking in that manner and in that vicious tone, would ever accept her as his/her leader, even if he/her is an ardent BJP supporter.
Secondly, she had lied about her educational qualifications in 2014, when Modiji made her the Cabinet Minister for Human Resource Development. Being just 12th pass, she had claimed that she was a graduate, having finished her B.A from a college in Delhi. These claims were challenged by so many opposition leaders against which she could not provide ample evidence in support to what she was saying. As a result she had to be degraded from being a Cabinet Minister for HRD to a Minister of State for Environment, a humiliating face-saving exercise, which Modi has rarely resorted upon in the last 3 and half years.
In short, she is a loose cannon, which just knows how to fire, in a rather unorganised and stupid manner. Her achievements as a Minister do not speak great volumes about her abilities. If Modi is thinking that by making Yogi Adityanath, an ardent Hindu Rashtra thinker, the CM of Uttar Pradesh, he took the right step, he is correct because he is a skilled and practical person, who has the knack of governance. But on the same lines, if Modi is thinking that another Hindu Rashtra patriarch in the form Smriti should be made the CM of Gujarat, then he is wrong in his calculations. After all, track-records do guide a person in taking vital decisions. -(kb/20-12-17)

Back to "Unstable Governments" in India and its global implications

The General Election held every 5 years in India help its voters decide, their choice about who is going to lead it. It's the 7th largest country (in terms of area) in the world and the largest democracy in the world with a population of more than 1.4 billion people living there. It's one of the fastest growing economies of the world and recently in size it became the 3rd largest economy, overtaking the United Kingdom. Looking its increasing stature globally, these General Elections of India carry a massive impact in the geopolitical scenario of Asia Pacific as well as the entire world. So let's delve deeper into the results and what aftereffect it can have on a global scale. After having about 25 years of governments with unclear majorities, India was fortunate enough to have a government with a clear majority when Mr. Narendra Modi, became the Prime Minister of the country back in 2014. His party the Bharatiya Janata Party came into power winning 281 parliamentary seats o

My opinion on "Barkha Vs Arnab"

Barkha Dutt is one of those distinguished journalists of India, on whom we should feel proud about. Her program "We the people" telecast at 8 pm every sunday is an award-winning program, which reflects her high intellectual capacities. However, when it comes to the kashmir issue, she suddenly starts behaving in a different manner. During her last visit to srinagar, she randomnly gave "hugs" to so many unknown people,which showed her hidden desire of remaining close to all kinds of muslims. Here the word "kinds" has been used to show that she behaves very well with anti-India seperatists like Yasin Malik, Syed Gilani also, which she shouldnot. She has the time to interview those hulligans and stone-pelters who received minor injuries during their scuffles with J&k police. But she doesnot have the time and decency to interview the kith and keens of our martyred jawans. She shows sympathy towards traitors like Kanaiya too. It is this kind of strange, in

Arrrogance of Govt. and Semi-govt.employees

Mr. Kuldeep Sharma, my friend has a son who works in private sector. He himself was a pvt sector employee and struggled all life to build some capital. These days his son has just begun his struggles. He is 23 and works from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm with a Gujarat based pvt limited company. He gets something like 30k per month which is somewhere on the lower scale these days.  Living next door to him is Mr. Popat, who has a son working with a semi govt organisation. He is 28. He works between 10:30 am to 6:30 pm, and enjoys a 45 minute recess time. He gets 62,000 Rs already as his salary. Whenever we 3 meet, Mr.Popat makes fun of Kuldeep's son, Deepak, defining him as a "laggard". (पीछे रह जाने वाला) He says that Deepak is also mental!  In reality, the scenario is quite the reverse. Deepak, the one who is drilling himself right now is actually a very intelligent guy at 23. His management and administrative skills are much better than Kishan, the son of Mr.Popat. Kishan keeps re
