HO RAHA BHARAT BARBAAD

Move to Goa-BJP

Advani is voicing very clearly that Narendra Modi is not the only one in BJP who have done excellent Developement in States.Shivraj and Raman Singh are other two CM who have also brought their respective states to reckoning.
For Modi there are few lessons in the current communication.He has to be Humble for whatever be his achievements.He has to be a Party man.For that he has to leave arrogance  and come to terms of reality of humiliating Sanjay Joshi & Nitin Gadkari.

In Goa these two issues will be discussed and Modi has to take a positive step in the direction of reconciliation.Say sorry within Party Meeting and that will be over.Let Sanjay Joshi be in BJP executive for betterment of BJP Organisation.

Even if Modi has popular support but he can not be bigger than his Party.He has to fight election if at all he will,under Lotus Symbol.

RSS may also advise Modi correctly before it is too late.If BJP has to go with Narendra Modi then Modi has to Compromise and show acceptance of his mistakes and arrogance.

Else CONgress is wating to come back in 2014 with Jugar,in case Modi remains what he is today. 

LK Advani on Shivraj Chauhan

Why Advani is now comparing Shivraj with ABV?Why LKA says MP was a Bimaru Rajya now  developed under leadership of Shivraj?
LK Advani gome few steps further in comparing Development of Gujarat and MP,saying Gujarat was a developing state already and Modi has brought up till this level.

This all being done to avoid Modis attention from Delhi and to make Modi humble as a party worker ought to be.Modi has to rise above self and clear pending issues in party itself.First he has to get Gadkari back as President since even if coterie tried nothing could be established.

Second,Modi should Publicly Apologies Sanjay Joshi  and respectfully get him his due in the BJP.
Unless these two events take place,BJP will not able to bring winning numbers with or without Modi.e
CONgress is keeping close eyes on this develoment and will act to win 2014.

CBI Case Against Pronnoy Roy of NDTV

CBI case against Prannoy Roy 

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  

---

NEW DELHI, January 19: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a case of criminal conspiracy against New Delhi Television (NDTV) managing director Prannoy Roy, former Director General of Doordarshan and present Chief Executive Officer of Star TV R Basu and and five other top officials of Doordarshan.
The First Information Report (FIR) filed on the basis of ``source information'' says that the undue favour granted to Prannoy Roy had led to a loss of approximately Rs five crore to Doordarshan. The FIR names Ashok Mansukhani, the then Deputy Director General (DDG) of Doordarshan, Harish Awasthi (DDG), Shiv Sharma, the then Director General (DG), S Kapoor, the then DG, S Krishnan, the then DG, Prannoy Roy, Managing Director NDTV and the television network too.
The FIR filed in the court of Special CBI judge Ajit Bharihoke alleges that the officials of Doordarshan had ``entered into a criminal conspiracy at New Delhi during 1990-1996 with Prannoy Roy with a view to cause favour by abusing their official position.''
According to the CBI charge-sheet, DD suffered a loss of over Rs 3.52 crore due to the ``undue favours'' shown to NDTV as its programme The World This Week (TWTW) was put in `A' category instead of `special A' category.
There was a wide gap in the rates of two categories as under the former the commission rate was Rs 80,000 while under the latter it was Rs 1.70 lakh. The time slot for sponsors in the two categories was 90 and 120 seconds respectively, the FIR said. The TWTWcontinued as a commissioned programme till April 1996 and NDTV was paid Rs 1.35 crore while DD's revenue on account of this was merely Rs 3.12 lakh, resulting in a total loss of 1.32 crore to it. The inquiry report of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) had initially found the discrepancy and was later verified by the CBI, the FIR states.
The case has been filed under Section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code for criminal conspiracy along with Sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act (PCA).

The FIR further alleges that programmes like News Tonight, News Hour, Surkhian, News Headlines, South East Asia Capsule and Good Morning Indiawere approved illegally by Basu in connivance with Mansukhani, Awasthi and other officials.

BJP fans Ajit Jogi conspiracy theory: 'Must come clean'

At the receiving end of the Congress's initial conspiracy theory that alleged a BJP-Maoist nexus behind last week's attack in Chhattisgarh, the BJP now appears to be strategically taking cover behind fresh conspiracy theories — that point to internal squabbles in the Congress — to minismise the political fallout of the attack ahead of the assembly polls.

This was evident when the BJP declined to reject the allegation that former Chhattisgarh chief minister and senior Congress leader Ajit Jogi was involved in a conspiracy to eliminate the Congress leadership in Chhattisgarh. The allegation was levelled by BJP's Madhya Pradesh unit chief Narendra Tomar at a party meet in Gwalior Thursday.

"A lot of theories are floating around. There are questions that Jogi may want to answer. Conspiracy theories are coming out from the Congress stables," BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said in response to queries regarding Tomar's allegations.

Not only did the BJP spokesperson avoid rejecting or distancing the party from Tomar's allegations, she, in fact, sought to suggest that Jogi's reported plan to file a defamation case against Tomar was an attempt to divert attention. "Diverting attention by defamation will not work. Where was Jogi? Why did he take a helicopter? It is fair that he should give submission to the (Judicial) Commission and answer himself," Sitharaman said.

This came a day after BJP general secretary in-charge of Chhattisgarh J P Nadda also stressed upon "circumstantial evidence" that triggered speculation of an alleged internal Congress conspiracy.

"There are talks about who was present and who was not (in Congress's convoy), who came first, who came late and who survived and who got caught (in the Maoist attack)... It is not appropriate for me to make a comment," Nadda said at a press conference here to highlight the "circumstantial evidence".

CONGRESS IS HELL BEND TO INCREASE DIVIDE BY PLAYING VOTE CARD

Ahead of 2014 polls, govt plans universities for minorities

The Centre is mulling setting up five universities with 50% seats reserved for religious minorities, a "Muslim outreach" by Congress ahead of the 2014 elections.

NEW DELHI: The Centre is mulling setting up five universities with 50% seats reserved for religious minorities, a "Muslim outreach" by Congress ahead of the 2014 elections. The universities will come up in the hubs of Muslim and Christian population in five states. 

"These universities will have 50% reservation for minorities with socio-economic backwardness as key determinant. Minorities are not just religious groups but also social groups as mentioned in Article 15 and 16 of the Constitution (for affirmative action)," minority affairs minister K Rahman Khan told TOI. 

While a university in Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh, the constituency of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, is being considered, one in Srirangapatna in Karnataka seems a certainty. Biharand Bengal will also get one each while one in Buddhist centre of Nagpur is still to be decided. 

The Sukhdeo Thorat committee has given the opinion that central universities for religious minorities can be set up through an act of Parliament, dispelling concerns about legal challenges in the wake of court battles over religious quota. 

To further bolster the backward factor in promoting minorities, the Centre may introduce "creamy layer" to sieve out the well-off among minorities for admission to these institutes, as is prevalent for OBCs in employment and education. 

Sources argued that universities with focused clientele were legally viable, citing examples of Ambedkar University in Lucknow that has 50% quota for SCs and Amarkantak Tribal University in Madhya Pradesh. 

Given the controversy over the "minority character" of AMU and Jamia Millia, now facing legal challenge, minister Rahman Khan argued he was not interested in the nomenclature so long as it was focused on promoting education among minorities. "Even in AMU and Jamia, which have minority character, half of the seats have to go to non-minorities," he said. 

While the move will elicit a strong reaction from the BJP, the ruling Congress is keen to bolster its "Muslim outreach" by rolling out the decision in the run-up to elections. The targeting of generic minority group barely hides the fact that Muslims comprise 72% of the total population of minorities that include Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists and Parsis. The Centre plans to subdivide the 50% minority quota among all five in proportion to their population. 

Crucially, Khan said these universities will fall under the minority affairs ministry, keeping their salience in focus. 

Otherwise, higher educational institutes are the mandate of the HRD ministry, even minority institutes like AMU and Jamia

Breaking String of Pearls

found love for India is China

by Rajeev Sharma May 30, 2013

No, it is not Manmohan Singh’s love in Tokyo. Call it ‘strategic love’.The proof of the pudding is in eating. Apply this dictum in the context of India-Japan relations and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s about-to-be concluded Japan visit, and the facts speak for themselves.Here are some facts as reflected through the just-released Joint Statement on the Prime Minister’s visit to Japan, appropriately titled “Strengthening the Strategic and Global Partnership between India and Japan beyond the 60th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations.”Japan has agreed to give loan to India worth 71 billion yen (almost seven million US dollars) for the Mumbai Metro Line III project as well as the yen loan of the fiscal year 2012 totaling 353.106 billion yen (3.47 billion dollars) for eight projects. Besides, Japan has also pledged 17.7 billion yen (174 million dollars) for the Campus Development Project of Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (Phase 2) and 13 billion yen (127 million dollars) for the Tamil Nadu Investment Promotion Programme.

Should Manmohan Singh thank China for Japan’s generosity. AFP

All this put together amounts to a staggering 4.46 billion US dollars and all of that in just one visit of the Indian Prime Minister and his talks with his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe.More importantly, the Japanese money will flow into actual infrastructural development works across the length and breadth of India with Japanese technical assistance and it is not a dole to keep the Indian economy afloat – just taking a leaf out of the Pakistan brand of aid politics.During United States President Barack Obama’s India visit in November 2010, Obama had sewn up some twenty deals worth ten billion dollars. An elated Obama had then said that he would go back to his country and tell his people that his India visit had yielded fifty thousand American jobs.Now imagine how many jobs the Japanese financial assistance over the next few years will generate for IndiaAnd yet there is no grandstanding by the humble Japanese. This conduct conforms to the dictionary definition of a true friend.Of course, it will be naïve to think that the Japanese are loosening their purse strings for India overnight for nothing and imagine ‘Hindi-Japanese bhai bhai’ kind of misplaced ideas. In international diplomacy, there are no free lunches.It’s true that no other country in the world today feels as threatened by China’s so-called “peaceful rise” as Japan. But then India too feels threatened by China. That is why Shinzo Abe, the Japanese Prime Minister and a known India friend, had said in his address to the joint session of Indian parliament in the Central Hall in the summer of 2007 that the Indo-Japan relations were a “confluence of the two seas”, a phrase that he drew from the title of a book written by the Mughal prince Dara Shikoh in 1655.Abe is an unabashed China-basher who says he is determined to see that the South China Sea does not become a “Lake Beijing”.  He has proposed an ADSD – Asia Democratic Security Diamond, comprising Japan, India, Australia and the US.This is what Abe said in a signed article in December 2012: “If Japan were to yield, the South China Sea would become even more fortified. Freedom of navigation, vital for trading countries such as Japan and South Korea, would be seriously hindered. The naval assets of the United States, in addition to those of Japan, would find it difficult to enter the entire area, though the majority of the two China seas is international water.”Abe has forecast that in about a decade Japan-India relations would overtake Japan-China and even Japan-US relations. “I envisage a strategy whereby Australia, India, Japan, and the US state of Hawaii form a diamond to safeguard the maritime commons stretching from the Indian Ocean region to the western Pacific,” he said in this article.Now have a look at the India-Japan Joint Statement at the end of the Singh-Abe talks.Manmohan Singh has expressed his  eagerness to live Abe’s dream. Sample the language in the exact quotes from the Indo-Japan bilateral statement:· The two Prime Ministers expressed satisfaction at the steady growth of political exchanges, dialogue and policy coordination at all levels. They positively evaluated Ministerial-level annual dialogues and exchanges, particularly the Foreign Ministers’ Strategic Dialogue and the Ministerial Level Economic Dialogue. The two Prime Ministers also noted the successful outcomes achieved during the”2 plus 2” dialogue, the Foreign Secretary level Dialogue, the Foreign Office Consultations, the Defence Policy Dialogue, the Trilateral Dialogue between India, Japan and the United States, as well as other key interactions on various areas including cyber, counter-terrorism and economic partnership. The two Prime Ministers welcomed the launch of the bilateral Maritime Affairs Dialogue, the first meeting of which was held on 29 January 2013 in Delhi.· The two Prime Ministers welcomed the expanding defence relations between the two countriesbased on the Joint Declaration on Security Cooperation betweenIndia and Japan. The two Prime Ministers expressed satisfaction that the first bilateral exercise betweenthe Indian Navy (IN)and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF)was held in June 2012 off the coast of Japan and decided to conduct such exercises on a regular basis with increased frequency. They decided to establish a Joint Working Group (JWG) to explore modality for the cooperation on the US-2 amphibian aircraft.India and Japan were never as close to each other as they are today. The bonding is to become all the stronger in the near future. All thanks to China.If you press a balloon from one side, it will bloat from another side. China has pressed the balloon from two corners almost simultaneously. It may well prove to be China’s hamartia.*The writer is a Firstpost columnist and a strategic analyst. bhootnath004@yahoo.com.
