Padmavati

Planned Release Date : 1 December

Censor Board clearance received on 31st December

Censor Board suggestion to rename the movie to 'Padmavat'

Does it matter what the title of movie is? Can director decide the title?

Will the government backup the Censor Board and director to ensure they are able to release their movies in a legal manner.

We are seeing a delay of 1 month already due to government's poor attitude towards law and order. Padmavati should have been cleared by 1 December.

Yogi Adityanath - Making a mockery of law

  The Yogi Adityanath government has ordered withdrawal of a case against the chief minister and a dozen others for holding a meeting in alleged violation of prohibitory orders over 22 years ago.
 
  The Adityanath government’s order to withdraw the case against the chief minister was issued last week, just a day before the Uttar Pradesh Criminal Law (Composition of Offences and Abatement of Trials) (Amendment) Bill, 2017 was tabled in the state assembly.

Before the bill was tabled, Adityanath told the House that 20,000 “politically-motivated” cases were filed across the state over protest demonstrations. The amendment would bring to an end all these cases pending before magistrates till 31 December 2015, he said.

The case was pending in a Gorakhpur court which had earlier directed that non-bailable warrants (NBWs) be issued against the accused for non-appearance.


In May this year, shortly after Adityanath took over the reins of the state, his government had told the Allahabad high court that he cannot be prosecuted in another case for allegedly making a hate speech that was said to have triggered communal riots in Gorakhpur in 2007.

The government refused to grant the mandatory sanction for his prosecution. Adityanath, who was then the local MP, made the alleged hate speech following the killing of a Hindu youth in a clash between two groups during a Muharram procession.


Setting a precedent

Yogi Adityanath is setting a precedent that one can violate laws and throw out all legal proceedings after coming to power. This provides more incentive to violate laws.


There was a joke on Sonia Gandhi a couple of years ago - Sonia Gandhi reviewed Sonia Gandhi's performance after recent poll defeat and affirmed that Sonia Gandhi should lead the party. The latest version is Yogi Adityanath felt that Yogi Adityanath did not commit any crime and Yogi Adityanath agreed So Yogi Adityanath asked Yogi Adityanath to withdraw all cases against Yogi Adityanath.

Hope we are all enjoying the charade of our soon to be PM Yogi ji. If there is no crime there is no criminal. Master stroke. Please vote for Yogi as PM. Yogi, Yogi, Yogi.

Cartoonists have highlighted the satire

Difference of opinion

Delhi government is looking to make services easy by asking officials to visit homes and deliver services such as caste and birth certificates, licences, vehicle registrations, and pensions to senior citizens and physically challenged among others, from eight department of the government.

Considering India has an overall net penetration of 33.5% with urban penetration at 72.5% and rural at 15.6%. We are far far away from complete internet availability especially in rural areas. So it makes sense to home deliver basic services.

LG has advised that the matter be reconsidered with the aim to put in place a model which provides for 100% digital delivery of services to people and facilitates access to bridge the ‘digital divide’. To provide access to the internet, the government can consider enabling the unemployed youth to set up internet kiosks where these services can be accessed and made available

Manish sisodia tweeted the following
यह सही है कि ऑनलाइन डिलीवरी से पिज्जा डाउनलोड नहीं हो सकता, लेकिन एक जीते-जागते इंसान को भी ऑनलाइन अपलोड करके सरकारी ऑफिस में नहीं पहुंचाया जा सकता।

अब या तो आदमी सरकारी दफ्तर आए या फिर सरकार आदमी के घर जाए। अगर फिज़िकल वेरिफिकेशन होगा तो इसमें से एक काम तो करना पड़ेगा।

LG has a point that if services are made online it would be easy to prevent corruption but with average of 33.5% we are still very far in enabling internet access to every citizen.
If government looks to launch schemes for internet kiosks rather than create policy for enabling cheap internet access. We are all aware how government schemes run. They do create immense opportunities but mostly for well connected people.

Ideal approach would be to provide home delivery service as well as educate and implement guidelines to ensure that they cannot be misused.

How Modi ji plans to tackle corruption using aadhaar

Some of my friends said aadhaar will help to reduce corruption so it is being made compulsory for lpg, bank accounts, sim (also helps to catch terrorists)

I think aadhaar is a grand step to catch terrorists. We can peacefully forget about corruption since the biggest loot invested in land and properties does not require aadhaar.

How bigots work

VHP, Bajrang Dal and BJP leaders have expressed concerns over
minorities encroaching public spaces

The leaders fail to mention that in terms of illegal constructions there are 1260 hindu temples illegally constructed? Are they going to bring down 1260 hindu temples along with 260 muslim shrines? Or Is it just a tactic to demonize minority community.

BJP which usually connives when such things happen is also dirty through association of its BJP youth wing which protested sale of a flat to Muslim and got the sale reversed despite payment already being made.







We should thank BJP, VHP and Bajrang Dal for their great contribution to pitting people against each other for their pathetic politics. Jai Hind.

Details


On September 29, 2009, the Supreme Court had ruled that “no unauthorized construction” in the name of religious places of any community would be allowed in public places including roads and parks. The apex court was ruling on a 2006 order by the Gujarat High Court which directed the government to remove encroachment on public spaces by religious structures. The high court had taken cognizance of a news report in TOI, quoting the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, that 1,200 Hindu temples and 260 Muslim shrines had encroached on public spaces.

LPG gas

Everyone is aware of the hole in pocket when you order an LPG gas
795 Rupees (last I ordered). The lucky ones get a subsidy of 291 Rupees in bank account.

All air travellers see their ticket plastered with Modi ji crowing about giving 1 crore gas connection to the poor

He doesn't seem to care enough what the poor do after he gives them connection and the gas cylinder becomes empty. Apparently not much they can do, the first woman to benefit and covered by government in Delhi for 3 days says
Gas is so expensive. How can I afford a refill. She continues to burn wood and the cylinder is placed in a corner to be used on special occassions.

Everyone is aware of efficiency of LPG companies. Modi ji isn't interested in reducing gas prices. He got his photo on your plane ticket. That's all that matters.

The story of Rafale Planes

Qatar announced Thursday a deal to buy 12 French-built Rafale fighter jets, as it faces a boycott by neighbouring Gulf states in the region's worst political crisis in years.

The 1.1-billion-euro ($1.3-billion) order, announced during an official visit by French President Emmanuel Macron, allows for an option to buy a further 36 jets. (Original source - French newspaper Le Monde)



This deal means Indian are paying more twice for Rafale planes as opposed to Qatar despite a bigger order(We are paying 7.6 billion euros for 36 planes).

The differences between the 2 rafale planes are not known.

Background information on India's deal

India floated a tender had an MRCA competition with RFI issued in 2004, RFP issues in 2007.

After a competition of 6 aircrafts, Dassault Rafale was selected in 2012 as winner. Under the plan 18 planes had to be manufactured in France and rest 108 planes in India through Technology Transfer.

French company Dassault refused to take responsibility for 108 HAL manufactured Rafales, citing doubts about Indian defence industry capability to accommodate the complex manufacturing and technology transfers of the aircraft.

Negotiations continued without any final result. On 31 July 2015 New Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar informed MRCA deal was officially withdrawn by government.

On 23 September 2016, Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian signed the contract for the purchase of 36 off-the-shelf Rafales in a deal worth €7.8 billion with an option for 18 more at the same inflation-adjusted price.


To counter argument that planes have been purchased at 3 times the price




Rajeev Deshpande based on his sources called it a cheap deal: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/nda-govt-saved-over-rs-12600-crore-in-rafale-deal/articleshow/61763326.cms


Following arguments have been made by defence minister Niramala Sitharaman


The decision to buy 36 Rafales was taken to address the urgent need of the IAF (Indian Air Force) because the UPA government did not pay any attention to defence preparedness of the armed forces...it (the UPA) was indecisive for 10 years to address this critical necessity of fighters for the IAF. Allegations relating to the Rafale deal are shameful, the deal was finalised following a transparent procedure. Between 2004 and 2014, the UPA govt could not come to a decision on Rafale acquisition.Therefore, when we came to power in 2014, we had to move forward so that the air force is not left with the need for preparedness. It pains me that the UPA govt, despite recognising the critical need for fighters for the IAF, did not conclude the deal for 10 years.



 


Another argument that is raised is Qatar got planes at 60% price because It was follow up order

So if India were to order Rafale planes  again the price works out to be 60% of 1687 crore = 1012 crore, which still leaves a gap of 280 crores to be explained.

Source: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/iaf-pitches-for-36-more-rafale-fighters-after-it-gets-the-first-36-from-france/articleshow/60226329.cms


The question this deal raises are

1. Do we have a standard laid out transparent procedure for defence deals? Given that we have MRCA competition tender has been withdrawn which is a bad precedence in itself.

2. How was Dassault Rafale able to keep negotiations for such a long time in limbo. Did we get screwed because we failed to include the liability clause while floating the tender?

3. What special benefit do we derive from deal with Rafale by paying 1,687 Crore rupees per plane against Qatar paying 732 Crore Rupees per plane?

Himanta Biswa Sarma

Himanta Biswa Sarma worked with INC till 2016 and was accused of corruption by BJP
BJP even named Himanta as prime suspect in Louise Berger scam

On 9 April 2016 Amit Shah declared that all charges against Himanta Biswa Sarma will be probed.

On 2 September 2017, Assam high court begs to differ with Amit Shah's declaration by asking CBI to take over from Assam CID as probe in Louis Berger scam was being done in partisan manner.

Mc Donald and Domino's Story

Recently someone circulated the following picture on social network showing How McDonald's is not passing benefit of reduced GST to 5%

Domino's is also under investigation by DGS for not passing benefit of reduction in GST.

McDonald's has provided no explanation for increasing the price of items to keep the total same. The counter argument that can be created is GST has been reduced from 18% to 5% but Now the restaurants do not receive any tax input credit. Earlier they used to get 12% tax input credit on GST paid, thus keeping the cost of business for restaurants nearly unchanged.

Domino's has refused to present its side publicly saying - "We are in a silent period now, we would not be (able) to participate in any story." (Diplomatic speak for Let the story get buried in a few days with a wall of silence.)

McDonald's is not being shy of giving an impression that GST reduction gives them more value
I visited a McDonald's restaurant and found the following displayed prominently at cashier register

Is it that McDonald's is not passing benefit of GST on regular food but passing the benefit for Maharaja Mac?

The final losers on this wizardry of increasing taxes and then claiming to reduce taxes is the customer because with introduction of higher taxes, the food product prices was increased. Firms won't happily pass on complete benefit reduction in taxes (if any) to customer.

Student of economics understand this stickiness of prices. Apparently Finance Minister of this country doesn't. He raises taxes then does a roll back under public pressure forgetting the fact that prices won't come down immediately, firms will keep the increased revenue causing loss to consumer and inefficiency in market.

Godse Temple

Police can easily book the scoundrels under section 153 A for an act prejudicial to the harmony of public especially when the political masters take offence on unknown people raising anti india slogans blaming people without proof. Here a murderer has been installed for worshipping. But look at how tactful the BJP spokesperson is


"Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy is the legacy of this country and the Congress should not try to claim sole ownership of him. If anybody has violated the law and the Constitution, such activity would come under the purview of law," state BJP’s spokesperson Rajnish Jain told.

Substituting governance with nationalism

Talking to media, Jaipur Mayor Ashok Lahoty said that there was nothing better than playing the National Anthem and the National Song to start and end the day with positive energy and on a positive note.

Sir, When does the government plan to introduce accountability in government offices? Does singing national anthem but doing little or no work help the nation? National anthem shouldn't be used to hide the poor governance.

Have you managed to implement Lokpal?

Fact check : Does Hindustan refer to land of Hindus

Hindustan is derived from the Persian word Hindū cognate with the Sanskrit Sindhu.[5] The Proto-Iranian sound change *s > h occurred between 850–600 BCE, according to Asko Parpola.[6] Hence, the Rigvedic sapta sindhava (the land of seven rivers) became hapta hindu in Zend Avesta.

In simple words

Northern India was referred to as land of Sindhava (7 rivers) - 

In translation from the Iranian origin of the word it became the word Hindustan

India has never claimed to be a land of any specific religious community. It is a nation which welcomed all religious communities and has a rich diverse culture because of this nature.

Many leaders try to create a wrong analogy misusing the word 'Hindustan' to target Hindus which are the largest demographic of India.

For ragging their junior second year students

The matter came to light when 30 Junior students complained against 50 senior students. A video was circulated of the acts juniors were forced to do.

A Professor wrote about it on the blog highlighting the wrongful act

Further president and other office bearers were removed from their post for allegedly ignoring the complaints.

Wah Modi ji Wah - 1

मोदी जी ने कंपनी सेक्रेटरी सभा को सम्बोधित करते हुए कहा

सब ने खूब ताली बजाई | वाह मोदी जी वाह |

Jay Amit Shah

The wire writes
Turnover of firm went over from 50,000 to 80 crore as per RoC filing. How is that explained?
The firm got a 15.8 crore loan unsecured
The firm stopped business altogether saying it's net worth has eroded
Looks like Jay Amit Shah is not a good businessman after all.

Jay Amit Shah's lawyer writes
It has been alleged that business owes its 'success' due to Amit Shah's political connection - Company band ho gayi, Yeh kaisa success hain?

Further it says loans have been repaid and were taken by pledging property.

Further Filing by Temple Enterprises Limited show that it took an unsecured borrowing of 15.78 crore

Amit Shah, father of Jay Shah contradicts the above filing saying it is an LoC secured with goods

If that scenario is to be trusted - it brings a question How does a bank approve loc of 15.78 crore for a firm which has just recently started a business and has no great track record in past few years sometimes turning a profit of few thousands and loss of few thousand a year before?

It would help to know details of LoC to understand its approval. Further Why did company report the borrowings in unsecured category if LoC was backed with collateral as per document published by The Wire.

In past 4 years UP has reported 2513 cases of Chikungunya while Kerala has reported 643 cases
In past 5 years UP has reported 2513 cases if Chikungunya while Kerala has reported 916 cases.

On Dengue the story is similar.

UP government's record on running Hospitals is further under question:

A joint probe has found that industrial gas was being used by BHU hospital in treating patients which in itself could have caused death of 14 patients. Further the firm supplying the industrial gas does not have license to even manufacture the gas. The firm's director is father of MLA from the constituency.

What Yogi ji? What should anyone learn about running hospitals from UP government?

Hope you are not referring to

Kanhaiya Kumar and JNU

Kanhaiya Kumar is former president of JNU union

In February 2016, he was arrested and charged with sedition by the Delhi police for allegedly raising anti-India slogans in a student rally. The rally was called to protest the 2013 hanging of Mohammed Afzal Guru, a Kashmiri separatist convicted for the 2001 Indian Parliament attack. Kumar was released on interim bail on 2 March 2016 for lack of conclusive evidence.

Proceedings on March 1 2016

Delhi Police officials were left embarassed by court
Court asked Delhi police if it had any evidence that showed Kanhaiya was raising slogans? To which Delhi Police represented by ASG Mehta said It had none but Kanhaiya was present.
Bench responded “There is a difference between being present and participation,”

Further
1. They failed to register an FIR on the matter when Saurabh Sharma (ABVP) complained against the event
2. They failed to submit video recording as CISF raised doubts about video recording. Police however alleged that they had independent witnesses who had seen Kumar raising anti-national slogans but relied on video recording and Zee TV's footage
3. Further despite SHO and police officials stationed at the gate, they failed to apprehend masked persons who raise slogans OR record any evidence or maintain register of people who attended the function which raised question What was Delhi police doing during the whole incident?

Kapil Sibal representing Kanhaiya questioned the premise of case itself by arguing University was not a public place. Further “How can something happening inside a university campus between two factions incite people outside to create a law and order situation?”

LG and Delhi government had different standpoint with Delhi government arguing doctored video circulated by Zee news and ASG Mehta arguing that the incident had become a rallying point for anti-national movement across India.


Latest update
The Delhi High Court Thursday issued a notice to Delhi Police and asked them to respond to a plea seeking cancellation of bail granted to JNU Students’ Union president Kanhaiya Kumar.

In the interest of justice Court has asked Mr. Mehera arguing for Delhi government and ASG Mehta to submit their stand in written on the matter.

Rural electrification

Narendra Modi tweeted that
28th April 2018 will be remembered as a historic day in the development journey of India. Yesterday, we fulfilled a commitment due to which the lives of several Indians will be transformed forever! I am delighted that every single village of India now has access to electricity.


Let us see How Narendra Modi government has fared on electrification in regard to UPA government through official report.

As on	Villages electrified	Improvement over previous year	Government
31-Jan-06	438686
31-Jan-07	472015	33329	UPA
31-Jan-08	487242	15227	UPA
31-Jan-09	488836	1594	UPA
31-Jan-10	497709	8873	UPA
31-Jan-11	536860	39151	UPA
31-Jan-12	552947	16087	UPA
31-Jan-13	559241	6294	UPA
31-Jan-14	563238	3997	UPA
31-Jan-15	577555	14317	NDA
07-Mar-16	585097	7542	NDA
31-Jan-17	590898	5801	NDA
28-Feb-18	596556	5658	NDA

 

In Short

Total villages electrified in UPA tenure      1,24,552

Average rate for UPA      15,569 villages per year

Total villages electrified in NDA tenure     33,318

Average rate for NDA      8,330 villages per year

In Short Narendra Modi government on average has gone at a half the rate of UPA in rural electrification of villages.

One could argue that it may become progressively difficult as more villages are electrified (low hanging fruit argument) But the trend of villages covered does not support the argument. There is no continuous decline in number of villages electrified year on year basis. There are ups and downs.
