This blog was my labor of love, a place where I would put all my political rantings in one, wholesome pill that could be swallowed whole. I just want to say - I haven't forgotten you, blog.
Here's what I think are some important trends that I have noticed in the country so far -
Education is still a victim of the Con'gress Government. Nothing has been happening on any front. The budget has some positive news in terms of funding, but when it comes to policy and execution, the Arjun Singh led HRD ministry is as incompetent and devious as they come.
The Congress has lost the Uttarakhand and Punjab elections. Oh, by the way, Uttaranchal is not Uttaranchal anymore, but Uttarakhand. Personally, I liked the name Uttaranchal a lot better, but then, I am a maidani, and I obviously don't count in the hill politics of the state.
Actually, I like the new BJP Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Major General BC Khanduri. The man led the NHDP when he was a union minister in the NDA government, and he is making all the right noises. Hopefully this army man will get things done.
Punjab fell to the Badals of the SAD. Those bastards are as corrupt as they come. Dont have much details on that, but trust me on this one.
Congress has blamed the defeats on inflation, but whatever, the buggers are now just looking for reasons. I hate their spinelessness and anti-national, vote grabbing tactics.
Infrastructure in our country makes me cringe in pain. Airports are a mess still, and we keep hearing everyday of the impending AAI plan for some airports. But thats all there is to it - we only hear. It was a sad day in the history of Indian aviation when the AAI was formed indeed.
Mumbai Metro seems to be off the ground though, they have a new website, pretty basic, but I have seen pictures on SSC of the project's boards in Mumbai. The same with bangalore Metro. I can't believe the people of Bangalore haven't revolted already against the bastards in their current government. That Devegowda and his son need to be lynched. Bloody lying "sons of the soil" indeed.
I've always said that the people of the North-East have every reason to be angry at the union, because of the great disregard that the center has paid to their development. It is my firm conviction that things in the North-East will get much better if the government only focuses more on infrastructure and most importantly, grows some balls to fight the seperatists and the Bangaldeshi hordes that are bent on driving the Indians out of their own land.
