Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s induction into the BJP Parliamentary Board -- the apex decision making body of the party -- has sent Congress into a tizzy.
Senior Congress leader and Union Minister Kapil Sibal said Modi will pose a challenge to the BJP in the next general election. As if that was not enough, Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi went on to add that the Gujarat Chief Minister will prove to be ‘Yamraj’ for the BJP in the 2014 election.
Congress is finding it extremely difficult to come to terms with Modi being given new responsibilities in the BJP. Modi’s popularity is growing by leaps and bounds. The Gujarat Chief Minister has started giving Congress sleepless nights. The Congress has started realising that it will be thrown out of power in the next Read More...
Democracy got a new lease of life in Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s speech at the India Today Conclave on Saturday.
"A true democracy is a collaboration between the citizens and the Government. In a real democracy, the Government has to take people into confidence. In Gujarat, democracy is a combined effort,” Modi said.
Modi’s message is simple, powerful and has the capacity to change the fate of the nation. It comes at a time when the gap between the Government and the people is widening.
Modi tried to bridge the difference between the essence and practice of democracy. He suggested that the people should be stake-holders in nation building and the Government should act as a catalyst.
“Government can’t change the nation alone. It is the people who must bring Read More...
It has been a week since the twin blasts rocked the crowded Dilsukhnagar area of Hyderabad snuffing out the lives of 16 people and injured 120 others. But a breakthrough still eludes the police and investigative agencies.
But the modus operandi clearly suggests that it is an act of Indian Muhajideen, an offshoot of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI).
Investigations so far suggest that the blasts bear a striking resemblance to the earlier terror strikes like those in Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Assam, all of which the IM has claimed responsibility for.
Indian Mujahiddin is headquartered in Pakistan. Iqbal Bhatkal and his brother Riyaz run operations from Karachi. So there really is no doubt that Pakistan-sponsored terrorism is responsible for the Hyderabad Read More...
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s model speech at Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) in Delhi has captured the imagination of the youth.
In his 45-minute-long speech, Modi left an audience of 1,800 students and 200 teachers spellbound. It was not just the SRCC. Youth across the nation watched and rewatched the speech on Television and webcasts.
They downloaded it from internet. They read and reread the text from the newspapers and websites. They shared it on Facebook, Twitter and Google plus.
Modi spoke on the future of India. He asserted that brand India could rule the world. He emphasised that youth power is the nation’s power.
The Gujarat Chief Minister said the nation as a whole had failed to fill the gap between potential and performance. “Our country is not Read More...
Remember WikiLeaks? A secret US diplomatic cable, released by the whistleblower website, quoted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as saying ‘Hindu radical groups’ pose a much bigger threat to India than Pakistan-based terror outfits like Lashkar-e-Tayyeba.
Rahul had made those comments during a conversation with US Ambassador to India Timothy Roemer just eight months after 26/11.
Now fast forward to Jaipur where Congress held a Chintan Shivir. As the whole country mourned the gruesome and unprovoked killing of two Indian soldiers by Pakistani Army, Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde raked up ghosts of the imaginary ‘Hindu terror’ again. Shinde essentially, was taking off from where Rahul had left off.
He went on to blame the main Opposition party BJP and its ideological Read More...
