Re: [www.keralites.net] Call Congress to Rule India with a 3/4 Majority to lead the country as Super Power.

 

Dear Mohan 
Congress may be stupid but they are not oppurtunist like some communal parties which raise their religious head now and then ,These parties  main agenda is attacking personally and at times politically the congress  leaders.mainly Nehru family.
What those parties have acheived?.They may same Kargill.But it was because their callousness the war broke out and finally they succeeded with US intervention.
What happened to INDIA SHINING campaign,They were piggy riding on the progress made after years of hard work by the congress.
Can you name a few leaders of others parties who are really all India oriented.Those who didnt know about Srilankan problems and who didnt speak anything , are now debating in parliament because General  Election is not fast aproaching.They have to make hay when the sun shines.
I am not a congress party man but i have seen the History.Take Mr.Jyothi basu .He changed a marxist ruled state a developed state.In 70 s power cut was 18 hrs/day.He plugged the loopholes made West Bengal a surplus state.But he was not an agrressive man but delivered the goods that too  in a marxist state.Unfortunately there were no medias and the CPM also didnt project.it as present day.Present day CPM leaders do not say about this.
Take Mr,Narendra Modi.He is a good GUJARAT chief minister.But in the national stream his contribution is only attacking PM,Sonia and Rahul. Other than that there is not any other activity.
The Yadavs will be considering UP and BIHAR only.
Can you name any leaders in noncongress parties who care for our states (Tamilnadu and Kerala and Andhra)
So by default congress is the available alternative.
In 1977 Janata was given an oppurtunity.Morarjee sold much of the Goldreserves. Janata party ruled for 3 years only Congress came back to power in 1980...In 1989 they were again given oppurtunity.But they failed and Congress came to power.In 1996 they were again given a chance but they bungled because there was no unity.Only in 2001 they served a full time probably the didnt want frequent elections which is a costly affair.
All these circumstances push us at back to square no 1.

My dear Menon Sir
 
Still you need the "STUPID CONGRESS" to rule our strong country?  If people of India gives full authority/majority to these thugs, within no time common men living in our country become impossible.  Everywhere price hike.  Do they ever thought how the people can afford when the price is shooting up?  Of course, I do not have any alternative to suggest at this time.
 
Let us see and hope for the best.  But, for me I am personally NOT pro to present corrupt government.
 
Regards,
Mohan

All indians must think of a single party govt. at the centre which should be stable and can take decisions. coalition will not work at centre as it is not working even in states like kerala where every day problems crop up and they have no time to see the peoples problem as they have to sort out their own problems. 

Go to the past years, we can see many regional parties came into existance because of power hunger and there is no ideological difference between any of Indian political parties.  

These small regional parties and communal parties like BJP, Muslim League etc. get elected by some way and misuse the position they are holding by shouting in parliament, which spoil our country's image..

Every one has the same technique of accusing others on corruption etc. and engage in strikes, bandhs, hartals etc.... causing difficulties to citizens.

This method of protests must go and every one after election must support and suggest matters benefitting the country.

some time back the communists were saying that they were the poor man's party where as they also got chance to make money by handling public money and became rich.  They were supporting UPA and when UPA wanted to implement some progressive reforms, the communists pulled down their support.

BJP came to power by encashing religious sentiments and the corruption by congress during that period.  They also handled public money for quite some time.
Even now BJP says they are considering the Babri Masjid demolition as their achievement and if they come to power, they will make law in parliament for constructing RAM MANDIR.
So start immediately to think and have a single party strong govt. at centre. Coalition will just allow some one to remain in power without any power to take any actions.  

It is dangerous to have a coalition govt. at centre when external threats like war etc. will have to be faced.  Pakistan is a very much disturbed state and they can divert the attention to a war against India so that some unity can be maintained.  So we have to be very serious and elect a single party instead of accusing corruption etc. each other as all are corrupt in india.  

I am sending this to small parties also so that they will think of the situation and save our country.  

We can try the Indian National Congress for five years and then if any party is capable of contesting all seats come up, we can try them.  I request to the Indian National Congress to forget about coalition for coming in power.  It is waste of time and energy.

[www.keralites.net] "OMAN SHIFTS TO FRI-SAT WEEKEND FROM MAY 1"

 

OMAN SHIFTS TO FRI-SAT WEEKEND FROM MAY 1

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said
By Mohana Prabhakar
MUSCAT -

The biggest news on Saturday this week in Oman was not just the announcement of the new weekend from May 1, which will now be on Friday and Saturday for the entire country.

For the first time, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said has directed that the nation – both public and private sectors - must follow the same period of holidays on all national and religious occasions. The statement by the Council of Ministers also said that the number of holidays will be determined by the existing Royal Decrees.

Typically, the period of holidays for the public sector on all occasions from Eid to National Day usually exceed that of the private sector by one to three days.


Saturday's decision also means that Saudi Arabia remains the only GCC country to have Thursday-Friday as its official weekend.

A clearly excited chairman of the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI), Khalil al Khonji, told Muscat Daily, "We have been waiting for this for a long time and I am happy to say that this will help us attract more Omanis to the private sector. We are deeply thankful to His Majesty the Sultan for his decision on this issue."

Khonji also pointed out that now with a fixed number of holidays, there will be no more uncertainty with public institutions, for example hospitals, who typically would not be able to give appointments when longer holidays were expected due to uncertainty regarding the dates.

While the public sector has had a two-day weekend since the late 1980s, the two-day weekend for the private sector only took effect from November 2011.

Khonji said the benefits of the Friday-Saturday weekend are manifold. "There will no longer be families with different members following different weekends. Now our children will also have the same weekend. For business, this is very good news because this will shorten the gap between us and Europe; we used to lose four days before."

In end-2012, H H Sayyid Fahd bin Mahmoud al Said had met with senior business leaders from the private sector to highlight the government's commitment and efforts to provide a healthy and conducive environment for the private sector to flourish.

The attendance of a number of ministers and government officials as well as the OCCI chairman at the meeting held at the Council of Ministers' headquarters in Muscat bore testimony to the significance the government has been attaching to the role of private players in the overall progress of the nation.

Re: [www.keralites.net] Call Congress to Rule India with a 3/4 Majority to lead the country as Super Power.

 

Better to think the parties or groups of parties to be restricted to 2 or 3 for central govt. election.  Once the small parties choose the group of parties must not have the choice to change after election unless permission from the group until the next election.  Independant winners will be treated as such.  They have the choice to support better govt.
