A person's good character are all that counts and if he acts in the interest of his people (Gujaratis) then that's all that should matter to his state.
Besides, someone who didn't know his dad probably had a tougher life in a single parent home and that would make him even more deeply sensitive to such issues as poverty, education and other things. If it is true that Modi was born in poverty ('in the gutter' as the uncouth KKKongressi would have it) seems he's more qualified for his job than I previously supposed, him having personally experienced what needs improvement.

Sonia's visit shocking, says BJP
Expressing concern over Center's "lackadaisical and indifferent" attitude towards growing intrusion by the Chinese troops into Indian territory, the BJP on Thursday described it 'shocking' that UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi was on a five-day tour to China accompanied by her MP son Rahul Gandhi with an<span style='color:red'> "undisclosed agenda".</span>
The party said while Left and Congress were maintaining a deafening silence on an issue of national security and sovereignty, both CPM general secretary Prakash Karat and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi have instead of raising issue of intrusion have only confined themselves to congratulating Chinese President Hu Jintao on his re-election as the General Secretary of the ruling Communist Party in China.
<b>"The BJP notes that the incursions are simply not the inadvertent misadventures of lost Chinese patrols but instead point towards the existence of a carefully designed strategy to undermine India's territorial integrity," </b>party spokesman Rajiv Pratap Rudy told reporters.
The party said reports on intrusion by China have been confirmed by the DG of ITBP, who has admitted to over 140 incidents of intrusions in over the last one-year in both Arunachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir.
Rudy stated the complete silence maintained by the high level entourage comprising even senior Ministers of the UPA Government was also "shocking".

Statement of Dr. Subramanian Swamy, President of the Janata Party.
      The nation is today watching with consternation the series of ridiculous firmans being issued by Mr. Rahul Gandhi to Congress Party workers.
     First, Mr. Gandhi told the Congress that growing opium must be made more profitable by the Finance Ministry by fixing a higher price for the poppy crop. Opium can quickly be converted to heroin, which destroys the health of it's consumer, besides promoting crime.
     Second, Mr. Gandhi told the CWC that there is nothing wrong in abandoning Khadar cloth, which hitherto was compulsory for the Congress Party workers. Little did he realize that Khadi Gram Udyog, which still provides employment to lakhs of the 'aam aadmis' for whom Congress leaders shed tears in public, would be destroyed by his firman and lakhs would become unemployed.
     Third, Mr. Gandhi informed the CWC that to drink 'a peg or two' of alcholic liquor is nothing wrong. This would naturally boost the liquor industry, and in turn corner future investments from essential goods sector, on the market principle of investments chasing high profits, thereby creating a shortage of essential commodities for the 'aam aadmi'.
     It would therefore now be appropriate for Mr. Gandhi to add two more firmans for completeness.
     Fourth, it is not wrong for a Congress worker or leader to get married to a Colombian girl holding Venezuelan passport anonymously in the island of Tenerife in Canary Islands, and not tell the public about it, even if the girl is a daughter of a heroin peddler.
     Fifth, there is nothing wrong for a Congress worker to keep a foreign passport, especially Italian under a modified spelling of one's own name for use in emergencies and for anonymous foreign travel to obscure places like Cayman Island for banking operations, and purchasing Participatory Notes on hawala laundered funds.
     This Five Point Programme of Mr. Rahul Gandhi then can replace all the 4-20 programmes of the party of his mother.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>When Congress ran riot </b>
Pioneer.com
Second Opinion: RN Chawla
This refers to Kanchan Gupta's article, "Half-truths don't help Muslims" (Coffee Break, October 28). Besides placing the violence and the killings resulting therefrom in their proper perspective, based on the figures as given in reply to a parliamentary question, the writer has provided a telling commentary on what he rightfully terms as horrendous events.
I do not know as to why Mr Gupta's did not mention the reprisal killings in Bihar resulting from the killing of Hindus in Noakhali immediately preceding Independence. Louis Fischer, in his The Life Of Mahatma Gandhi, has provided a graphic account of the incidents. The relevant extract is reproduced below from the chapter "The Birth of Two Nations":
"But worse woes were in store for the sorrowing Mahatma in the neighbouring province of Bihar with a population of 31,000,000 Hindus and 5,000,000 Muslims. <b>The events in Noakhali and Tripura had incensed the majority community; 25th October was declared 'Noakhali Day'. Speeches by Congressmen and sensational newspaper headlines whipped the Hindus into hysteria and thousands paraded the streets and country lanes shouting 'Blood for Blood'. In the next week, the number of persons officially verified as killed by rioters, wrote the Delhi Correspondent of the London Times was 4,580. Gandhi later put the total at more than 100,000. They were predominantly Muslims."</b>
Apart from the death toll exceeding that of the pogrom against Sikhs in 1984 and the post-Godhra violence in Gujarat in 2002, mentioned by Mr Gupta, the reprisal killings by Congressmen in the post-Noakhali Bihar riots and following the assassination of Mrs Indira Gandhi- based on the motto of an-eye-for-an-eye-are obvious despite the Congress's stated commitment to Gandhian ideology and principles.
It is unfortunate that a bunch of 'secularists', some of whom have changed tack repeatedly and enjoyed power, manage the 'M-Y' (Muslim-Yadav) or 'M-D' (Muslim-Dalit) vote in the very State that witnessed horrendous riots in 1946. Other pseudo-secular parties and outfits are also trying to whip up communal frenzy for the sake of electoral gains by harping on the Gujarat violence that took place five years ago. <b>They do not perhaps realise that like the Bourbon kings of France, who did not learn any lesson from history, the 'secularists' by following such ruinous policy are dividing the country along communal lines. </b>

UPA doesn't trust service chiefs!
It is absurd and disgraceful but not surprising, given the wayward track record of the UPA Government in this matter, that it will not extend the courtesy of exemption from frisking at airports to the three armed forces service chiefs. To his discomfiture, Defence Minister AK Antony had to inform the Rajya Sabha that the <b>UPA Government turned down his Ministry's request in this respect. Shamefully, the civil aviation authorities' view is that the inclusion of the chiefs in the exempted persons' list "could lead to similar demands from some other authorities"</b>. Without giving the military undue importance, it would seem quite obvious that service chiefs are fairly unique. The necessities of ensuring civilian primacy have meant their subordination to the executive, but their roles nonetheless are of supreme importance, and they are certainly worthy of this minor privilege. It seems ironic that those entrusted with our nation's highest security cannot be trusted with a civilian aircraft. There are also important principles involved in this issue for it concerns how public decisions are to be made, which must be fair and transparent. There have to be very compelling reasons in a democracy to exempt a few from the travails the rest of the citizenry has to go through. <b>Exemption from security formalities may be somewhat of a feudal relic, but the dignity of high office is perhaps a reason worthy enough to favour a few office-holders</b>. Sadly, some people have seen such exemptions as status symbols or as devices to flaunt importance in a cheap way. Far from the service chiefs initiating a scramble for exemption, it has already been a prominent feature of the UPA era.
Speaker Somnath Chatterjee, it may be recalled, cancelled a visit to Australia rather than allow security officials to frisk him. <b>He also objected to security personnel frisking his wife at Calicut Airport.</b> Union Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma created such a fuss that it ensured that yet another category was included to this ever-expanding exclusivity. What, however, most pricelessly takes the cake is the scandalous inclusion of Mr Robert Vadra in the list of those exempted from being screened at airports. Mr Vadra, with no claim to fame apart from being UPA chairperson and Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law, already enjoys our Government's munificent hospitality by living in a spacious bungalow allotted to his wife on 'security' grounds. With no contribution to national life other than as a private citizen and holding no senior Government post, his exemption, specifically by name, stands out in sharp contrast to the refusal to extend the same courtesy to our service chiefs. Indeed, most existing exemptions are clear cases of arbitrary and sycophantic favouritism and have no justification. The claim of the three service chiefs to this privilege is so superior to that of Mr Vadra that it can only laughably be compared. In any case, service chiefs are ahead of quite a few in the Warrant of Precedence already exempted such as, for example, the Chief Justices of High Courts. These exemptions have to be principled and limited. Sadly, those with political clout are merrily having rules twisted for privileges and the UPA Government is allowing this to happen, while the deserving are ignored. While unnecessary vying for this privilege must be discouraged, the service chiefs fully deserve it and the UPA Government must reconsider its decision.

Rs 100-cr question mark over Indian democracy
24 Nov 2007, 0047 hrs IST,Jug Suraiya,TNN
Print Save EMail Write to Editor
NEW DELHI : India has joined the general outcry against Musharraf for suppressing democracy in Pakistan. Democracy would indeed be good for Pakistan. It would also be good for India. Unlike Pakistan, we have more or less free and fair, and certainly frequent, elections. But how really democratic is our democracy?
Recently, a 2,000-odd-square-foot flat in Mumbai sold for a reportedly record-breaking Rs 34 crore to a private individual. Almost at the same time, the Congress party headquarters in New Delhi were shifted from Akbar Road to a plot, on Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg, the market value of which is some Rs 100 crore but which was handed over to the Congress for Rs 2 crore.
The different pricing mechanisms used in each case, Mumbai and New Delhi (the first based on free market forces, the second on state patronage), exemplifies the huge difference, the deep chasm between the private citizens of this country and any element of the sarkar that we have elected to govern us.
Various elements of the state â the diverse political parties, MPs, MLAs, bureaucrats at various levels â are given not just property/residences at humongously subsided (subsidised by us, the taxpayers) rates but are also accorded other perks and privileges not available to us, the people, supposedly of whom, by whom, and for whom successive governments have been formed since 'independence' (in fact, a transition from one set of exploitative rulers to another).
Why should the Congress â or any other political party â be given prime real estate at a throwaway price? Why should MPs occupy (and often continue to occupy even when their term of office is over) Luytens' bungalows each estimated at Rs 150 crore? If the CEO of a publicly listed company aspires to live in such style it could, and does, make front-page news.
Political parties and MPs and other state functionaries would argue that they all individually and collectively serve the larger public interest of our democratic state, while a private sector CEO serves only his shareholders, hence the qualitative difference between the sarkar and the private citizen. But aren't all private citizens (including CEOs of companies) equal shareholders in the national enterprise of the Indian republic? If so, shouldn't all citizens, all shareholders, be treated on a par? In other words, can a delivery system of democracy (the sarkar) truly deliver democracy if the basis of its functioning is undemocratic in that it differentiates between sarkari and non-sarkari citizens?
In no other established democracy (the US, the UK) do their political parties, or bureaucrats, or MPs or their equivalents (barring heads of government or the state) enjoy such privileges, denied to common citizens. Are the US and UK â or Canada, Australia, Japan, whatever â any the less democratic than India for that? Or are they more democratic?
In other democracies, does sarkari VIP movement routinely generate security bandobast that brings ordinary civil life to a standstill, often for hours?
Does any other democracy boast the counterpart of a Robert Vadra (national Son-in-Law No. 1) who's given super-security protection at the taxpayer's expense and is excused from being frisked at airports even though ordinary citizens (which in this instance include the defence chiefs of staff) aren't accorded such a sign of respect?
So by all means let us in India root for the return of democracy to Pakistan. And hope for its emergence in India, in some not-too-distant future.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Service chiefs get their due: No frisking</b>
Pioneer News Service | New Delhi
Under attack for treating them shabbily, the UPA Government on Thursday announced that the three service chiefs of Indian armed forces will be exempted from security frisking in civil airports across the country.
The change of heart came within a month of the Defence Minister AK Antony informed the Rajya Sabha on November 21 that the Civil Aviation Ministry had rejected his suggestion that the chiefs of the armed forces be spared the humiliation of being subjected to routine pre-embarking security checks as they enjoyed top security clearance.
Earlier in the day, Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said he felt that it was "absolutely appropriate" that the people who defended the country's borders should not be made to undergo the frisking to which others are subjected to.
"The warrant of precedence which is issued by the President is the benchmark on which exemptions are given. From number 1 to 11 exemptions have been given and the three service chiefs come in at number 12," the Minister said
The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), which prepares the list of VVIPs and VIPs who are exempt from pre-embarkation security checks, will now amend the list as per the direction of Civil Aviation Ministry, an official release said on Thursday.
<b>Other important functionaries who are to be exempted from pre-embarkation security checks are the Planning Commission Deputy Chairman, Bharat Ratnas, Chief Election Commissi-oner, Comptroller and Auditor General and the Attorney General besides the Chiefs of Defence Staff, holding the rank of full General or equivalent.</b>
Thursday's announcement comes in the wake of recent controversy over the service chiefs being subjected to security checks while SPG protectees like Robert Vadra, husband of Priyanka Gandhi, enjoyed exemption from frisking.
<b>Following media reports on the issue, there were murmurs among the top brass in the services, which was openly voiced by former chiefs, that they were being subjected to such checks despite their position</b>.
Asked whether such exemption would open a Pandora's box with fresh demands coming from different sections, Patel replied in the negative.
Among those included in the exempted list are President, Vice-President, Prime Minister, former President and Vice Presidents, Lok Sabha Speaker, Chief Justice of India, Supreme Court judges, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, Union Cabinet Ministers, Governors and Chief MinistersÂ

India: Congress and it's shameless hypocrisy?
December 28, 2007
By Ashok K. Jha
(The Congress party was established on todays date. On this eve this article is being published to expose the true face of Congress ! - Editor)
Addressing the All India Congress Committee session in New Delhi on Saturday, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressed determination to push all-round development with an aim of ensuring benefits for all sections of the society. He said special focus was being given to education, health care, rural development and infrastructure building besides upliftment of minorities and backward classes.
Describing the NDA government's âIndia Shining' campaign as a 'flawed concept,â he asked: "Shining for whom? Shining for which region? Shining for which class of people?" He referred to the incidents of terror and communal riots during the BJP-led rule and said his government will not allow communal and divisive forces to gain an upper hand. Communal tensions were at their peak throughout the country and attempts were being made to divide people on the basis of religion, caste and language," the Prime Minister said. Dr. Singh referred to the 2002 Gujarat riots, terror attacks on Parliament, Akshardham temple and Raghunath temple. The Prime Minister painted a dismal picture on the economic front during the NDA rule.
The Prime Minister reiterated that till the time Congress was in power 'we will not allow communal and divisive forces to gain an upper hand in any part of the country and we will ensure that every individual can live in an environment of peace and security.â Regarding minorities he said that his government had appointed the Sachar Committee to find out the factual position about their conditions and the panel had established that the same was unsatisfactory and a lot needs to be done to improve them. "We have started a massive scholarship programme for minorities."
Now that Our Prime Minister has started talking, behaving and addressing like a true Politician very loyal to the Gandhi family there are few concerns and questions which the citizens of this country would like to be answered. There are millions in this country more intelligent and smarter than the certain "Rahul Gandhi" for whose coronation all this drama is being enacted. Does his lineage make him automatic choice for the highest executive post of this country? There are several other anomalies too. Why is this?
Sikhs getting slaughtered in thousands was only a big mistake; Hindus getting killed in Kashmir is a grave political problem; Muslims getting killed by a few hundred is no less than a holocaust; Poor protesters getting shot in West Bengal under Left Govt is just a plain misunderstanding; Banning Parzania in Gujarat was Communal; Banning Da Vinci Code and Jo Bole So Nihaal was indeed Secular; Kargil attack was Government failure; Chinese invasion in 1962 was just an 'unfortunate betrayal'; Reservation in every school and college on caste lines strengthen Secularism; Reservations in minority institutions is Communal; Fake encounters in Gujarat [Sohrabuddin] was Modi sponsored 'BJP' Communalism; Fake encounters under Cong-NCP in Maharashtra [Khwaja Younus] was only an instance of Police atrocity; Talking about Hindus and Hindu appeasement is dangerous and Communal; Talking about Muslims and Islam is Secular; BJP freeing 3 terrorists to save Indian hostages was Shameful; Freeing 4 militants to save the life of the daughter of a minister was a Natural Political dilemma; Attack on Parliament was the result of BJP ineptitude; Not hanging Afzal Guru, the mastermind despite Supreme Court orders is due to Humanity and Political dilemma; BJP questioning any religion is communal; Congress questioning Lord Rama's existence was simply a Clerical Error.
Is there any end to Congress and itâs shameless hypocrisy ?
What about Mumbai local train blasts, Hyderabad blasts and Maharashtra blasts during UPA regime, Nandigram violence, Tsunami rehabilitation fund misappropriation?
BJP had almost completed the "Golden Quadrilateral Project". UPA could not complete the rest of the work left. Also, BJP did not name that project after their leaders name. That is the difference between BJP and Congress. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo--> Even if a toilet complex is built in India, it is named after Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi or Jawaharlal Nehru. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Just to refresh his mind, all riots, scams, terrorism, religious crimes, etc have been started by either the congressmen themselves or in their tenure. Dr. Manmohan Singhs's term has also contributed to new developments in India - caste reservations, exploitation & barter of violence in your favour (Nandigram), protecting & justifying corruption (Laloo, Natwar Singh, etc), grabbing of state powers (initially Karnataka, Goa, Bihar, Jharkhand) ⦠and so on.
Why is UPA not able to move on National Highway projects, river joining project, etc? Why are we struggling to get cooking gas under UPA rule?
He started on the wrong foot from the very beginning by accommodating several tainted ministers in his cabinet and defending their appointment. Then coterie of Sonia Gandhi dismissed four governors appointed by the previous government followed by a series of events that smacked of cynical disregard for constitutional proprieties and democratic decencies in Jharkhand, Goa and Bihar.
