"Aam Aadmi party"

Disclaimer: I can't bear any criticism from congress supporters. So Congress fans, you better stay away from my Blog.

Aam Aadmi (Ordinary man) in India cannot buy an "aam" ( "aam" in Hindi means "Mango") in the capital of India. Thanks to inflation

The political parties in India are waiting for an opportunity to gain political mileage. It started with the petrol price hike. The government cannot be blamed for the price hike as there is a vertical rise in global oil price. I'm only angry about the fact that the price hike is done after the elections. A cheap third rated political trick. The last revision took place in the month of September 05 & the prices are rising exponentially. If the government had planned a 2 stage price hike, it would have been effective.

The most comical melodrama followed soon. The "Congress" party (i.e. the party ruling the government) wanted a cut in price hike, so that "Aam Aadmi” is not affected. Only a bunch of morons would believe the fact that Sonia Gandhi was not consulted in the issue of petrol price hike. Luckily, Dr. Manmohan Singh stood by his decision (According to Indian press). At the end of this Murali Deora was the scape goat. This price hike would reduce the losses of our Navaratna oil companies. Sonia Gandhi, @ the end of this episode, is still the Aam Aadmi's leader.

The Story is not yet over. All the state congress leaders expressed their fawning nature by reducing state sales tax of petrol. If the state government had reduced the sales tax on the day of price hike, i would have saluted them. Unfortunately, the scenario was different. Sonia proclaimed that her party is an "Aam Aadmi" party & the sycophant leaders followed her steps to give the party an "Aam Aadmi" party image.

Now it's inflation time. The prices of vegetables, fruits & essential commodities are rising exponentially. If onions rocked the NDA government (1998), it's tomatoes turn to create doldrums to congress government (40 bucks per KG in NEW DELHI).

According to Finance ministry, there is a gap in supply & demand. It has come out with a proposal to change the export/import laws for certain goods. It's good temporary solution, but does not fit well in a long term scenario. (This is the first time i am agreeing with the left parties). Congress is keeping its fingers crossed with a hope that it's a seasonal inflation. UP elections is staring at the congress like HELL & Rai Bareli doesn't represent UP.

Who is the sufferer?? It's the Aam Aadmi.

At last, can an AAM Aadmi in INDIA buy & eat his AAM happily????????? We have to wait & watch.

Hindutva Vs Pseudo Secularism

The Da Vinci code is banned in Tamil Nadu. It is surprising to see that it has been banned in all states where congress is ruling or supporting (Andhra Pradesh, Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, and Meghalaya). Where is the freedom of expression? Can a fiction ever erode religious beliefs? This is pseudo secularism, practiced by Congress.

Pseudo-secularism in a societal setting is the state of implicit non-secular trends in the face of pledged secularism. (Thanks to google)

Hey guys... Don't jump to the conclusion. I am not a Hindutva fanatic or an adherent BJP supporter. I also condemn Hindutva. Let's have a perspicacious look about the Hindutva factor prevailing in our country.

Hindutva, (according to google) is an extremist Hindu movement, not to be confused with Hinduism. The term used by RSS/VHP/BJP to gain votes. Mr. Narendra Modi is an adroit politician in the field of Hindutva politics. Today's attack on RSS office in Nagpur is a signal of an anti-Hindutva movement, which is gaining momentum.

At last, it's the innocent common man, who is affected.(whether it's Gujarat's godhra riots or varnashi's sankat mochan temple attack)

Is India a "Secular" country??

Secularism: The neutrality of the State, local government and all public services in matters relating to one or more religions or to one or more creeds.

Unfortunately, our government is no where near that. Communal harmony should not be confused with secularism. There is a lot of difference between them. The preamble of our constitution is defied.

Is it possible for our country to be secular?
Yes… That’s when you throw all the existing political parties out of our country. Right now, it’s a question of “devil & deep sea”. We can only hope for a better future.
