An Open Letter to Mr. Kumar Ketkar

Dear Mr. Kumar Ketkar,

After the Results of Assembly Elections-2016 are out, you have started it again ! The things for which you are famous - Congress-worship and Hating RSS ! Your so called statistics which you used to describe the defeat of Congress as Victory made me remember one quote ! I know you also admire Sherlock Holmes, so I think you know this quote of him- "Nothing is more deceptive than an obvious fact."... You are trying the same thing with your stats, Sir !

But I know that after results proving so adverse, Congress needs some soothing sympathy. And you are giving that thing to your very favourite political side ! We need to thank you, for trying so hard to keep an Opposition Party alive !! I know it is hard thing to do. Speaking and Writing the thing which your mind itself can't accept; is really hard thing !!! Kudos, Sir ...

Hope you take this in a 'Tolerant' spirit ! 

Expecting your reply... 
Regards.

The Lessons of Assembly Elections-2016 !

The outcomes of Assembly Elections are decisive and clear. This fact is ignored by many people analysing the polls' results. Post-Poll alliances are not necessary in any of the state, which is indicator of 'Firm Vedict' of public. To analyse the results state-wise:

1. Tamilnadu - Jayalalita's ADMK clenched a clear victory, breaking the 5 Yearly changing picture of Polls of the state. DMK+Congress alliance was not fruitful, rather it can be seen as harmful for both of the parties. BJP failed to grab any seat here, which is not a surprise taking into account their weak cadre-network there...

2. Assam - BJP amazed the critics and analysts with a charming victory. Credit goes to the Ground-Level RSS framework and brilliant strategies of Amit Shaha and Team !

3. Kerala - Now, at least, Communists have at least one state under their control ! Kerala is pseudo-secular state by nature. So, BJP has a 'Nothing-to-lose' situation there. Still, the Debut Seat there will surely soothe the party.

4. West-Bengal - Here communists have something very painful ! They failed to regain power in the region where Left front has most strong cadre in India. Mamata Didi proved her leadership qualities and grip over rural masses of West Bengal. BJP also has something to cheer there, as they have got few seats in another 'Nothing to lose' situation.

5. Pondicherry - The only thing in day which will be a defence for Congress Spokesperson today ! But taking into account, the bery limited influence on National Politics, it is not enough for any 'Sigh of Relief' for INC.

To conclude, the Assembly Elections gave some lessons to the Analysts as well as Parties. It is proved that Regional Parties do 'have' a future in India. Congress has failed to prove itself as an Option to BJP at large. So the ruling party will find it easy to continue as no Strong and Co-ordinated alternative exists for BJP on National Level (At least at this time)... The main trend underlined by these results is 'Demise' of Congress. They lack the courage to fix responsibility of these consecutive defeats. The 'Royal Family' is not openly held responsible by any Congress leader. This problem is the main cause of the 'Fall' of the party, which have ruled Independent India for the longest period. As there aren't any hopes, of drastic changes happening in Congress's Leadership or perspective of its workers, this trend can be expected in future also. And if this 'decline of Congress' continues, BJP people will not have to work that harder to achieve their dream of 'Congress Mukta Bharat' !!

Two Years of Captain Modi and His Best Players !

Narendra Modi and his team complete their 2 years of Power. Their achievements are impossible to deny ! Though most of the ministries have performed at benchmark efficiency levels, I especially want to mention about some ministers here, who have tried their hard and best to realize the 'Achhe Din' Dream of our PM :-

1. Shri. Nitin Gadkari, as expected, proves out to be the 'Performing Giant' of Modi's squad. He has the passion, vision and creativity to develop and implement ideas. The rise in Road creation per day from 2 KM per day to 20 KM per day is enough stat to prove his success.

2. Shri. Suresh Prabhu was the person on whom Modi entrusted one of the most important ministry only due to his Talent and Genius, as he was a new member of party when he was chosen as minister by PM Modi. But Suresh Prabhu proved his caliber, once again ! He has principled approach towards Indian Railways, which is benefiting the Life Line of India. His efforts for High Tech integration, Infrastructure Focus and Strict Revival Plan for Rail Ways surely assure him a position in the list of top performing Ministers of Modi Cabinet.

3. Shri. Piyush Goyal is another top performer of Narendra Modi. Unlike Gadkari and Prabhu, he was relatively new to a Cabinet Ministry. But in his Debut attempt as Cabinet Minister, Mr. Goyal has proved himself as a Creative and Sincere student of Modi's Class ! His celebrated academic background and 'Scholar' Image has proved the best weapons in his arsenal.

4. Smt. Sushma Swaraj is one of the most underrated Ministers of Modi Cabinet. Often, her success gets less attention than deserved because people watch PM himself, dealing with the External Affairs and Foreign Relationships. But keeping in mind that, all the Trips of Modi abroad are planned and tracked by her ministry, Sushma Swaraj gets full points for her performance. In addition, she has made the Ministry of External Affairs, more people friendly with carrying out Rescue Operations, on receiving the Tweets of citizens in distress. Another milestone in her Ministry's performance was the Mass Rescue operations of Indian as well as Foreign citizens who were in deep trouble in countries like Yemen, Libya and Iraq.

5. Shri. Manohar Parrikar is the former Chief Minister of Goa, who has the responsibility of Defense Ministry of India. Narendra Modi has entrusted Parrikar with this job especially due to his loyalty towards Nationalist Ideology and Intellectual Caliber of Mr. Parrikar. And (except some few loose words, which bought some trouble !) Parrikar has handled the Ministry with commendable efficiency ! He has tried to integrated 'Make In India' programme with defense industry, fruits of which will realize in near future. In addition, Mr. Manohar Parrikar is particularly admired for his Simple Lifestyle and Principled Behaviour.

These are the top 5 performers of Modi Cabinet. Hope further years will bring more to the list and Captain Modi will find better support from his Army !
