ACHCHHE DIN KI BUREE BEGINNING?

Hardly a month has passed after the NDA Government has taken charge in Delhi with the much boasted promise of 'Achchhe Din' (GOOD DAYS) and the people have been prescribed with the first dose of bitter medicine in the form of 14.5% increase in Railway passenger fares and 6.5% increase in freights. The Railway minister has argued that he has increased fares and freight according to the proposed increase by previous UPA Government in their Interim budget. It appears that the Railway minister is trying to save his face by bringing UPA proposal in picture to shield himself and his government. Everybody knows that this move by the government is going to increase prices of various commodities and services. How can then people be sure that ACHCHHE DIN AAYENGE? Shri Narendra Modi must admit that it is one thing to run a state and another thing to run a country with many states. If the NDA government continues in this manner then I am sure one day people of India will start saying that Mr. Manmohan Singh was not at fault as far as price-rise was concerned.

A Welcome Gesture by Shri Narendra Modi

Let me first clarify that I am not a BJP-man nor am I a supporter of Narendra Modi.
After Mr. Modi became the Prime Minister of India, two state governments, Government of Gujarat and Government of Madhya Pradesh, announced that they would include Modi's life history as a part of academic syllabus. Narendra Modi within no time requested them not to do so and stated that it was not good to teach history of life of someone who is alive. He also emphasized that we have many great characters whose life could be more impressive on our children's character building.
This is a great gesture on his part and all political leaders should appreciate it irrespective of their political affiliation. They should also learn a lesson from it because most of our political leaders are hungry of building their reputation. Hats off to NAMO!!!
