IPL Row - Shashi Tharoor vs Lalit Modi

The recent controversy that is making headlines almost all the televisions and dailies is about the allegations of Lalit Modi of the involvement of MEA minister Shashi Tharor in the IPL kochi team. The initial investigations of the congress party on Shashi Tharoor who is known for his controversial tweeting has understood prima facie proof of misuse of power. With opposition parties vehmently opposing the continuance of Shashi Tharoor as a Minister is cause of worry of the Congress. The IT raids that followed after Lalit Modi publicly tweeted about this matter is actually a good one from the government side. IPL is a huge entertainment business and one could smell enormous amout of bribe and corruption and all sorts of nonsense in this IPL. With all the companies vying to make money(God forsake it's all public money.... Yeah the Public grow the private companies right) this matter needs to be fully investigated and I recommend the post of Lalit Mode (ie) the Chairman IPL be clipped of authoritative powers. There has to be some action against Tharoor though not to the extent of thowing not(I may not be shocked if that be the case). But some times that guy proves he is no longer a good politician..... May be good for some other Business(hahahahha)....

Indian Presidential Election

With the election for the esteemed post of president of India fast approaching, political parties are busy choosing the prospective candidate. Finally the United Progressive Alliance and Left parties have reached consesus in fielding Mrs. Prathiba Patil the incumbent Rajasthan Governor for the post. With Mr. Bhairon Singh Shekahwat, the incumbent vice president also in the fray as an independent with the support of BJP, now the arena is clear for a direct fight. With Ms. Mayawathi the BJP chief and the newly elected chief minister of UP extending her support to congress led candidate Mrs.Prathiba Patil seems to be the clear winner. Let us wait and see...

Rajnikanth in Shivaji Released

The much expected Tamil Film starred by Rajnikanth has been released today. The film has been released in 650 theatres in India and 300 other overseas theatres. It's learnt that people have even spent close to Rs.2500 for a ticket.

It is very disheartening to see our fellow indians the way they show their affinity and allegiance to the hero. Performing 'Milk' and 'Beer' Abishehams and cracking fireworks are all part of the celebrations from the fans. The practice of idolizing the Actors and Actresses is widely prevalent in india. Actors can be seen as admirable entertainers but not as reverable gods.

Mahajan's demise

The sudden and tragic demise of Mr.Pramod Mahajan is a real loss to the country. Mr. Mahajan has joined the list of "Leaders Lost...Early" with Rajesh Pilor and Madhavarao scindhia. May God comfort his family in this time of sorrow.

With the election date fast approaching the power battle is getting dirty as the day passes by. The 2006 election is not different from erstwhile elections. This time the contest is three cornered with AIADMK Front, DMK Front and the actor-turned Vijayakanth's DMDK each of them vying to taste success in their constituencies. The past five year regime of Ms.Jayalalitha had been a bitter experience for a common man. The present government has not come up with any constructive ways and means to improve the life standard of the majority rural mass of the state. Instead Ms. Jaya's government has to some succeeded in foiling some golden plans envisaged and implemented by the erstwhile DMK government. Any economical progress that has happened in the past five years should be attributed to the overall growth that is taking place in the whole country thanks to opening up our economy in 1991. Tamil Nadu has been a key beneficiary since then being a state with inherent infrastructure and talented man power. The life standard of the poor people has not improved in any way with inflation sky-rocketing purchasing power of one section of people keeps increasing. There is a total inequality across the state with rural part of the state still reeling under all sorts of problem. There have been no aggresive plan or steps envisaged to improve the industrial competitiveness of the state. Unemployment rate keeps increasing and Illiteray rate has not improved anymore in the last five years. In other way all section of the society right from have been a victim of this government.

1. Students - in the issue of demolishing Queen Mary's college. Lots of students across participated in various agitations and got hurt by biased police action against them.
2. Doctors - on the making doctors responsible for any deaths caused and their subsequent resorting to strike and all sorts of eventual happenings.
3. Government Employees - Democracy always give the people the right to protest against any oppresion of concern in a peaceful way. Termination of few thousand people doesn't in any way guarantee basic rights to indian citizens.
4. Peasants were put into trouble when the government decided that the Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation would stop purchasing their products(like rice).
5. Lawyers protested against the abnormal hike in the court fee which will affect the comman man who approaches the court.

We can keep piling complaints against the present government. And also being aggressive doesn't mean to being anti-people. Aggressiveness should be properly used to get things done from Central Governement and also to serve the public effectively. To be very precise the present government has in no way done anything progressive that could take the downtrodden from the traps of poverty and also in all other fronts as well hasn't done anything. Even I would have been the Chief minister I would have run such a very usual government ofcourse without like those above-mentioned cruelites against people atleast. It is a real good idea to give chance to other front led by DMK.

The third option actor Vijayakanth's DMDK looks dynamic but lacks strategic vision. Mr. Vijaykanth also showcases his immaturiy by claiming to become the Chief Minister after starting party just over three months ago. We always welcome poeple who are willing to serve our society. To serve people and society one ideally need not be a CM of a state, One can serve in different other ways. Vijayakanth claims to be not an aspirer of power politics but he keeps mentioning becoming CM. I would think of voting to him in viruddachalam where he contest but nowhere.
