Day 520

 Well, I don’t know how to react on this. But I have gone through a news article which says that Operation Sindoor did destroyed the terrorist organisation’s base camps in Pakistan. Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba have confirmed that their headquarters were destroyed during the Operation Sindoor on May 7 at Bahawalpur and Muridke respectively.

 

I think now the false propaganda by the Pakistani government and Pakistani armed forces has been exposed after these statements. Again the truth has surfaced in front of the entire world that Pakistan is a terror supporting nation. All the terrorists organisations working against India are based in Pakistan and they are getting full support of the Pakistani government and the Pakistani army. There were few political parties and their leaders who were telling that Operation Sindoor is fake and all the information given by the Indian government and the Indian armed forces were false. Those leaders were treated as heroes in Pakistan. I think now those leaders will be finding some safe place to hide themselves due to shame.

 

The entire nation was standing in support of the Indian armed forces and the entire nation believed whatever information was given by the Indian armed forces except few so called intellectual Indian leaders. Like the entire nation, I, too, am still in shock the way ceasefire was called off. Operation Sindoor should have continued for couple of more days. But Operation Sindoor created trouble for America also because American government was in mood to use Pakistani air bases for their operation in Iran later on. America used Pakistan against Iran. That time also, Pakistani government had showed its shameless face because they got funds from the American government. Actually, American President invited Pakistani army chief to Washington for lunch in White House and made him special guest during American military parade. Later on, Pakistan was happily supporting non Islamic America against Islamic Iran just for the money. Theoretically, Pakistan stood for its Islamic brothers in Iran but in reality, America gave money to Pakistan for using Pakistani air force bases for American planes to control Iran.

 

Now with the statement released by the Pakistani Foreign Minister that India didn’t agreed for any third party mediation for the ceasefire of Operation Sindoor. I think this statement has created a political stir between America and Pakistan. American President’s claim that India agreed for the ceasefire due to American pressure turns to be a lie. I think now the bilateral ties between America and Pakistan will go on cold bag. Well, Indian Prime Minister has openly stated that this is new India. now the new India won’t be scared by the nuclear threat by anyone and the new India will strike the terrorists at its own base by invading the terrorist organisation base. Its true that Operation Sindoor has forced the terrorists organisations to flee from Pakistan occupied Kashmir.

 

I think no matter what happens with Pakistan with the rest of the world but Pakistan will continue to support the terrorists organisations who will attack India and will continue their fight in Kashmir valley. Pakistani government and Pakistani army will always support anti-India forces and will provide them shelter. The rising inflation in Pakistan is live example that instead of getting humanitarian helps and funds from America and the rest of the world but in reality Pakistan uses majority of the funds for funding of the terrorists organisations.

 

In my view, the funding to the Pakistan on humanitarian ground should be suspended until the terrorists organisations are having their bases in Pakistan. I think that the new India should use diplomatic power in UN council to convince all that indeed Pakistan is a terror-supporting nation.

 

Day 519

 These days, my posts are politics oriented posts. Well, I haven’t written in much depth. Today, I’m not going to write on politics. Today, the topic is cricket. Well, Asia Cup has started. Indeed, India and Pakistan are playing in this series. But now, a debate has started in India. After Operation Sindoor, it was a clear statement by the BCCI that there will be no cricket match between India and Pakistan. Now BCCI has issued a statement that Asia Cup is a multinational tournament and we can’t boycott this otherwise it will bring negativity for all our future endeavours of hosting the multinational tournaments in the country.

 

According to the Secretary of BCCI, Devajit Saikia, Asia Cup is a multinational event like Olympics, FIFA tournament.  If we boycott the Asia cup then it affect in getting the hosting rights of the games like Commonwealth Games or FIFA games or any other games. Well, this statement has started a fresh debate in India. But, the majority of Indians differs in view with Devajit Saikia. The people still have the Pahalgam incidence fresh in their memory. Indians still have objection of stopping Operation Sindoor so soon. It has just started when the ceasefire was called off. The time has gone that Indian soldiers were getting killed at borders and cricket matches were held between India and Pakistan at neutral venues.

 

Well, I haven’t watched the match between India and Pakistan. I’m a die-hard fan of Indian cricket team and never miss any international match. I watch the entire game from beginning till last. Actually, I wasn’t in mood to watch this match because I didn’t felt it right to watch the match between India and Pakistan because Pakistan never stops terrorists attacks on India. So, I felt boycotting the match can make a difference to BCCI. Boycotting to view the match is the better option. At least, I think that viewers aren’t helpless like BCCI like you have to do it whether you like it or not. But the news which I’m getting after the match is really giving me pleasure.

    There wasn’t handshake by Surya Kumar Yadav, the Indian captain, with his Pakistani counter part after toss. India won the match by smashing a six in the end. Then also there wasn’t any handshake between the Indian and Pakistani players. The entire Indian cricket team locked itself in its dressing room. There wasn’t customary handshake at post-match ceremony by Surya Kumar Yadav with the Pakistani captain. I think these moves by the Indian team and its management is really appreciable. Playing the match maybe under compulsion but handshakes can’t be under compulsion.

 

    I think that if we are engaged with Pakistan on political, diplomatic and economic front, then why can’t we boycott Pakistan on game field. Its just not about cricket. I’m talking about football, hockey, wrestling and other sports. Rivalry between India and Pakistan had been always a USP for any sports event organiser. So, I think time has come to take some harsh steps on this front also.

Day 518

 Almost ten days had passed since my last post. The political movement in Bihar is pacing up with the time. All the alliance parties are now making their programme for seat sharing and other things. Then they will do their election rallies for having votes in their favour. This is the common practise before elections.

 

But the question is that what’s in the mind of voters? Well, in Bihar, Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi ruled for continues fifteen years. Its true that corruption and crime were at its peak. Migration for higher studies and for employment began to rise. Then Nitish Kumar came in power as a source of hope. Now for the last twenty years, he has been in the power. Indeed, he managed to curb the crime in his initial years of tenure. Then he began to grow the infrastructure. But he failed to do something for migration for higher studies and employment. There hasn’t any major investment in industries. The sugar mills which were shut down in Lalu-Rabri era are still closed. Governments jobs aren’t there as per the number of graduates in Bihar. Still, the students are migrating to Kota and New Delhi for preparation of engineering and medical sectors and for UPSC. Nitish government hasn’t done anything in these sectors.

 

Major thing is that in the past ten years, Nitish Kumar had shifted his base politically just for the sake of being in power. I have already written a post about that so I won’t be repeating that again. Now the thing is the mood of the voters. I don’t know in which direction the mood of the voters will swing? There are many political and social equations being involved during elections. There are many reserved seats for women, backward classes and minorities. All the political parties will now play the caste card in the elections. But the main thing is that who will make the government? Well, it's too early to predict that. So, it will be wise to just wait and watch.

Day 517

 I know I was quite for some time. Actually, there were a lot of ups and downs in my life which has drained all my energy and focus. But I have to return to writing. But today, I’m having absence of topic and this thing is making me worried. I’m unable to choose a topic today which is making the thing worst. I don’t know how to cope with it. Whenever I have a topic then I don’t have time. But when I have time I don’t have any appropriate topic to write.

 

Well, I think one topic is there which is going to become a hot topic in coming time. It’s about the upcoming state assembly election in Bihar. These days, Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav are on election rally across Bihar. I think the combination is right. First one is main opposition leader at New Delhi and second one is main opposition leader in Patna. Both have a good alliance in Bihar. This alliance was formed due to Nitish Kumar before he switched his position in NDA government. Irony of this alliance is that the main person against NDA is now in favour of NDA.

 

Recently, in the joint rally of Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, a local congress leader used abusive language against Narendra Modi and his mother. A language which isn’t considered to be civilised one. Both Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav were present on the dais. I think this is the deuteriation in the Indian politics. Opposing the government isn’t a bad thing. I appreciate the opposition when the opposition does its duty rightfully but this is something not appreciable. Opposition parties should attack the government on government’s policies and style of working. Making personal attacks didn’t suit either the government or the opposition. But I have observed that since Narendra Modi has become Prime Minister then the entire opposition is targeting Narendra Modi only. It seems that the entire opposition parties are against only a person and not the entire government.

 

Well, one more thing is disturbing me in the rallies of Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav. Both leaders have invited Chief Ministers of Telangana and Tamil Nadu for the election campaign in Bihar. Well, I think Rahul Gandhi is in full mood to lose the election in Bihar. He might have forgotten the anti-Bihari statement made by the Chief Ministers of Telangana and Tamil Nadu. Dayanidhi Maran, nephew of M K Stalin, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, has said that Biharis comes to Tamil Nadu to clean the toilets in Tamil Nadu. According to Dayanidhi Maran, Bihari are best skilled for cleaning toilets only. Revanth Reddy, Chief Minister of Telangana, has said that Biharis are of inferior DNA than of people of Telangana.

 

I wonder that why Rahul Gandhi had invited two leaders to Bihar for his rally? These two leaders hate Biharis a lot then why they have come to Bihar? Why are they addressing the same Biharis whom they considered as lowest category of humans? Does Rahul Gandhi think that with the help of Revanth Reddy and M K Stalin, he will win the state assembly election? I don’t think  that so called star campaigner of Rahul Gandhi will do any magic for Rahul Gandhi.

 

Well, the main issue of Rahul Gandhi’s rally in Bihar is that there are bogus voters in Bihar. According to Rahul Gandhi. Narendra Modi is adding bogus voters in Bihar to win the Bihar state election. Rahul Gandhi is doing press conference and road shows against the so called bogus voters. He showed few people in his press conference that these are the people whose names have been strike out of the voters lists without appropriate reason. But later on those people said that they gave their statement under pressure. Their names were in the voters list. Election commission asked proof for Rahul Gandhi’s allegation. Election commission gave a time limit for submission of the proof but till date there isn’t a single proof submitted either by Rahul Gandhi or the congress party. I think time limit has expired around a month ago.

In my view, Rahul Gandhi is trying to mark the presence of congress party in the Bihar political circle. But he is forgetting that calling those leaders who hates Biharis as his star campaigner will go against his own vote bank. I think NDA and new formed Jan Suraj Party will target INDI Alliance over the hatred speech given by Revanth Reddy and Dayanidhi Maran. I think in the coming assembly election, congress party is going to fetch lesser seats than what it got in 2020 assembly election. 

Day 516

 There is a proverb in English “Man proposes and God disposes.” Same thing is happening with me right now. For the couple of months, whatever I have planned for my life, had failed. I don’t know how? I don’t know why? I looked for help also. I failed again. I don’t know what will happen next.

 

Responsibilities aren’t going to wait but financially I’m broken. Life has to go on, but I am losing every hope to carry it on. Daily, I’m looking for a new way but I’m getting failed daily. I don’t know how and when it will go but I can say that I’m going through rough phase of my life. Hope and faith on God are the things left in me right now. I’m just waiting for a miracle to happen.

 

Maybe this was the reason due to which I wasn’t able to concentrate on writing. Don’t know why and how I’m writing all these things today? I don’t have any answer for any question. 

Day 515

 In my last post, I wrote about the present political situation of Bihar. But there are few more factors which I didn’t mention in my last post. Well, it was not possible to mention all things in a single post. So, I just wrote about what was the scenario in Bihar in the last 35 years.

 

Actually, 35 years is a very long time. An entire generation started turning towards middle age. But in these 35 years, many generations have migrated from Bihar. Believe me, that loss isn’t going to be recovered. All the major industrialists have left the state and have put manufacturing units in other states. The students who went for higher studies didn’t return to Bihar and now they are settled in other parts of India as well as the world. One thing is sure that those who have migrated Bihar aren’t returning to Bihar neither is their next generation. 

But now, there has been entry of a new political party called Jan Suraj headed by Prashant Kumar. Well, Prashant Kumar aka PK isn’t a new name for Bihar politics. He was a political analyst who has worked with BJP, RJD, JD(U) and Congress. In 2014, he was attached with BJP. Its been said that he was responsible for election campaign for BJP nationwide. Chai pe charcha is one of his brainchild which helped BJP to have political debate at grassroot level. This helped BJP in the election which resulted in BJP led NDA government at the centre. In 2015, during Bihar state assembly election, Prashant Kumar helped the coalition of JD(U), RJD and Congress party. This time, JD(U) formed government with RJD and Congress. 

Now, Prashant Kumar isn’t attached with any political parties. Although, he was contacted by Udhav Thackeray before Maharashtra state assembly election but Prashant Kumar refused his services. Prashant Kumar initiated a programme in Bihar called Jan Suraj through which he began a tour of entire Bihar and started awareness amongst voters in Bihar. Now he has started his own political party. The way he has toured in state has started creating a base for him also. He has gone through villages across the state. I think this time he is using his political analyst power for himself. 

Actually, with the entry of Prashant Kumar, a new angle in upcoming election. So, its going to be an interesting election this time. Every political party is going to lure voters in their favour.  

 

Day 514

 I know that I’m continuing to be absent again. Regular writing always has been my aim but unfortunately I’m unable to achieve my aim. Every time, I try to achieve it but every time I fail in that. But after analysis, I have found that I’m not putting my full effort in this.

 

Well, today I’m not going to write on my flaws. Actually, topic selection is a tough job. But for the past few days, I’m very much tempted to write on politics but I don’t understand where to start. Actually, Indian politics is so much twisted and inter related that if you will look at any state politics then automatically other states will come in focus and hence the subject becomes length. Its because in India, whatever state you live in, major issues are faced in every state. Culturally, a state is different from another but politically all are interconnected.

 

In my last election, I wrote about the state wise Chakka Jam called by RJD and Congress Party in protest of so called corrupt practices being involved in connecting the voter id with Adhaar card of the voters in Bihar before the upcoming state assembly election. Rahul Gandhi said in his rally that the NDA government did the same thing during Maharashtra state assembly election and 10 per cent bogus voters were created that’s why Congress party and its allies in Maharashtra were unable to form government in Maharashtra. The government is saying that the action is being implemented by the Election Commission and it’s a necessary action to identify the bogus voters. Naturally, a common man will get confuse because both, government and opposition, are saying the same thing but in opposite sense.

 

But one thing is sure that the upcoming state assembly election in Bihar will be full of unexpected turns. In the last 35 years, Lalu Yadav and his wife has ruled for continuous 15 years and for the last 20 years we have seen Nitish Kumar’s rule. In the past 35 years, Bihar has seen many things. There was a time when Bihar was the last in implementations of the national schemes. This was due to the political will of Central government and state government because in the early years, Congress party was at the both levels. This created migration from Bihar for work, business and further studies.

 

Schools, technical colleges and Universities were there but gradually they turned into the major points for students politics and slowly and gradually the academic things took the backseat and political activities became priority. From 1990 to 2005, infrastructure went downhill instead of upliftment. Lalu Yadav became Chief Minister on his speeches to bring social reforms and for the upliftment of the weaker section. But his family became more rich and the weaker section of the society is at the same level till date. Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi regime favoured caste system and hence more migration of other sections to other parts of Bihar in name of further studies, work and business.

 

Politics was becoming favourite profession for criminals. Kidnapping, random ransom collection, extortion, land grabbing became common thing. Naxalites and rebel army of forward castes came in limelight. Mass murder became daily routine. Infrastructure wasn’t there. Roads were filled with potholes, industries were getting shut down. Proper irrigation system wasn’t there that’s why the crops were either drown in floods or were hit by draught.

 

Post 2005, when people voted for change and Nitish Kumar came in picture. From 2005 to 2015, indeed, Nitish Kumar worked on curbing the rising graph of criminals and criminal activities in state. Likewise, he improved the infrastructure in Patna, capital of Bihar, then he began to improve the infrastructure of other major cities and worked on the highways too. But in 2015, he switched to RJD and Congress alliance, then switched to BJP. Actually, 2015 to 2024, he was busy in playing switching game. BJP became enemy while Congress and RJD were true friends. Actually, we can give the credit of forming INDI Alliance to Nitish Kumar. INDI Alliance was the brain child of Nitish Kumar. He hosted the meeting at Patna where Mamta Banerjee, Udhav Thackeray, MK Stalin, Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Arvind Kejriwal, Bhagwant Mann were present. But after formation of INDI Alliance, Nitish Kumar, went to meet Narendra Modi and again became an ally in NDA.

 

So, Nitish Kumar has lost his credibility by multiple switching. So, at present, voter in Bihar is confused again. Well, caste politics is one of the major key factors in Bihar politics. RJD is projecting Tejashwi Yadav as their Chief Minister Candidate. Congress party is just an ally of RJD. But NDA isn’t declaring its Chief Minister Candidate. As I have said that Nitish Kumar has lost his credibility by switching so many times that its difficult to say if he will continue then how many seats NDA will get in the state assembly. Actually, I think it’s a bigger headache for BJP than JD(U)  because JD(U) is certain that Nitish Kumar will be their leader. Now BJP has to take some strict decision whether to continue with Nitish Kumar or to convince him and put a new Chief Minister candidate in the election.
