Will Repeal Law per Week: Narendra Modi

Just read the news the the PM in making rather the Prime Ministerial Candidate from BJP Mr. Narendra Modi made a statement that he would repeal a law every week once he would become the Prime Minister.

How sad and unfortunate that a person who is already a Law Maker as Chief Minister of Gujarat is making this such a statement.  As a Law Maker he needs to ensure that the laws that are enacted are enforced equally well and the Law Enforcement Agencies are enforced to ensure that the Laws are respected and followed well.  His reported statement has certainly not done good for already low morale of the Law Enforcement Agencies.

His statement includes reference to the business class folks who he is reported to have sympathized with and made a statement that "Current set of Laws implicate Business Class folks as thieves or thugs".  I differ from his approach and his statement at the core of his perception as well as at the core of the way this is presented across.  Laws are same for all the classes and is for the masses.  Our Prime Ministerial Candidate must understand that only those who are actually the thief or who do the wrong are the one who fear from the law and who don't want law to be prevailing.  Those who are righteous respect the laws and stand by the laws irrespective of good or bad times.  They all want these laws to be there to protect the interest of the society at large.

Mr. Modi also needs to understand one aspect that it is the Business Class folks who resort to murky techniques of hording the goods and escalate the price index...sometimes when the Supply from the raw is now good, they hoard the goods in their go-downs and create another layer of Demand and Supply gap that increases the prices more than the actual case should have reflected the price change.....

Mr. Modi needs to also look at the aspect of "Black Money" generated by the same Business Class who deal in Benami properties, Benami Accounts, Hawala (Money Laundering) and stash cash away from the public domain.

Mr Modi also need to understand another aspect of the Business Class is the one that engages in misappropriation of the Taxes by reporting Inappropriate Revenue and by showing losses in their Book of Accounts.

I would like to draw attention of the readers to the fact that Reliance (certainly owned by a Business Class and not those middle income group folks) has never paid a single penny as Tax until the Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT ) was introduced by the then Government.  That was the first time in 20 years of existence that a Publicaly traded company Reliance ever paid Tax to the government...

From the reported statement, it so seems that Mr. Modi would prefer working for the benefit of Business class and help them cough up more riches as compared to the welfare of those who really need things....His reported statement is really unfortunate and untoward from the Governance stand point.....

If ever he is referencing to Archaic Laws: then he should talk about Revamping them and NOT repealing them....

Recent Delhi Legislative Assembly Elections and the Fallouts

The Drama of Electing representatives for the Legislative Assembly in Delhi finished towards the end of Last year.  Oh, yeah it was one of the most speculated Drama of Democracy (लोकतंत्र की नौटंकी) in recent times as the results were even more dramatic.  Suddenly we realize that the underdog really turned out to be the winner forming the government for the State of Delhi.  It was a really interesting development to watch from the time the election results were declared to the day finally Aam Aadmi Party formed the government.  

For many AAP forming the government was a real shocker and for others it was a wake-up message.  But for the political circles it was something that they haven't dreamed off and it turned out to be nightmare. They suddenly found an Anti-Corruption Crusader holding the baton of the government and becoming the Chief Minister of Delhi.  So what were the Fall-outs from this Drama of Democracy? Let's try and count them - 

1. People of Delhi at least won and they brought a change 
2. The AAP government took over the reigns under a High Pressure situation and heavy load of expectations
3. The People of Delhi started measuring the Govt from the day of Swearing in ceremony
4. The Political parties - Opposition for that matter started clamping down on AAP with various comical statements, pictures and interpretations on Social Media as well as Conventional Media
5. One of the AAP MLA revolts against the Party and Govt calling the CM as liar and one who betrayed the people of Delhi - one twisting tale

So with the various aspects that are discussed above and the various other aspects that are coming into light, I am a bit surprised to the way people are reacting.  The people need to understand that the Governance issue can't be corrected over-night and that they need to give time to the new government to settle in the office. They never measured the previous governments from the day one then why they are pressurizing the Government by measuring its performance from Day 1.

On the other side of the case, somewhere AAP itself is responsible to let these issues loom.  The areas where they themselves created the mess may be listed as - 

1. Letting politicians cross over from other parties to AAP.  Their biggest mistake.  The Revolting MLA actually crossed over from another Party that AAP had sighted as Corrupt
2. Continuing as Crusader even after coming to the Power.  Now that AAP has formed the government, they need to follow the law rather than mock it
3. Making statements that themselves may be contradictory to what other's in the party have to say.  They need to understand that before entering the politics, the points they used to make were considered as their personal opinion, but now they are considered as the voice of a political outfit and somewhere of the Government of Delhi.

It's a pretty poor start for the AAP Government in Delhi and it is important that they mend their ways for they have been bestowed with trust by the Citizens of Delhi. They need to behave responsible and ensure that they Act with all their integrity in these torrid testing times.
