Arun Shourie on NaMo

[Dillinger]

Yes the same Arun Shourie whose community was massacred and exiled out forcefully by 'pious peaceful' Muslims from Kashmir.

Any problems?



That will burn a lot of people up here.

Cool it down, bro.

The book written by Shourie is rather accurate, consider that all the assertions made are clearly referenced, drawn from their sources Al-Azhar in Cairo to Jama here.

Exactly.

This is why I am not mincing words. The man has written absolutely what we are all seeing nowadays in action.

In those days, no one believed it and those who knew this were called 'extremists', 'against minorities' and all that. Now it is all visible in other states as well.

I have always lamented the fact that dimwits like Rajnath Singh get to issue statements for the BJP when brilliant people like Arun Shourie are around. An impeccable journalist and an impeccable economist. Learned in the traditions of our ancients yet capable of reconciling them with the world of today. Watch some of his select interviews alone, direct- succinct- cogent- ALWAYS accurate.

And now that he is sidelined, rendered bound- absolute embarrassments like Rajnath get to cavort around. Modi's campaign is mutilated from within by fools who will demolish his platform of development.

Rajnath has so far done well. He has assembled the team that has consolidated BJP as never before. Under Gadkari and Advani, BJP was in shambles. The fatso would issue stupid comments, LKA would be in his own la la land, Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj would be bickering like kids on every political platform.

Rajnath's return to his designation has restored some order in the party. The best thing he did: gave command to Modi for electoral matters. Apart from that the best thing that happened: Dr. Subramaniam Swami joined BJP. Both are hard-nosed, eagle-eyed leaders with immense knowledge, strong leadership and a no-nonsense attitude.

Although I strongly agree that Arun Shourie should be given a commanding position.

Getting him to represent BJP at a national level would just add the icing on the deadly alliance already formed.

Although I really hope to see a NE Indian at central power position some day soon from BJP.

Yaara Rajnath's ability to bring the BJP together has more to do with Modi's prowess than anything else, Gadkari was too deeply entrenched with the old gasbags and could use political capital to praise Modi all the while keeping him away from his ("their") own interests at the same time. But now Modi has consolidated all the grassroots workers of the BJP to such an extant that Rajnath or LK Advani or anyone else must now come back to line. If the popular leaders do not listen to these workers (almost ALL of them), contrary to popular belief, then their political careers will nosedive.

Right after Godhra a few people had convinced Vajpayee sir to sack Modi, in the public meeting of the BJP it was Shouri who stood up and contested the decision (which had already been taken) and used his repute with Vajpayee sir to extricate Modi from events engineered to bury him.
@Tshering22 Although Shourie for NE (I know its not related to your point) would be a blessing like none other, he is something that our long suffering compatriots of NE deserve, don't count on it though. Remember how he was sidelined from opening on the budget as illustrated by the Niira Radia tapes, the malignant tumors within the BJP itself- who didn't dare raise their heads or show their true colors when Vajpayee Ji was around- were party to this infamy.

A small insight into Arun Shourie

Thanks @ Dillinger for posting these videos . I had always admired Mr Arun Shourie ever since I read " Worshipping The False Gods " the intelligent ,analytical book which defaced the aura around Dr Ambedkar !!!

These videos give further insight in how great person he is . We need more intellectual people like in this who can bring balance to our noisy yet lopsided democratic debates.

You're right. I wasn't much of a BJP follower in those days though I liked the Vajpayee government far better than any other till date.

Arun Shourie ji deserves a central position and a serious one. He radiates leadership and the best part is, he is a genuine man unlike other politicians.

Same with me . Vajpayee was a true statesman ! I never had much inclination to BJP but it was for the Vajpayee that I first time voted for BJP. I still remember vividly the evening on 11'th May when Vajpayee declared Nuclear tests...I also remember the Live telecast of his Lahore bus visit ( I was apeearing for XII'th exam ) and subsequent Kargil . Vajpayee just like a true statesman was true connoisseur of talent . He brought a dream team of great people like Dr Kalam , Brajesh Mishra , Arun Shourie and so on all of whom had fall out with BJP after recession of Vajpayee era .

India committed blunder by denying second stint to Mr Vajpayee ... All current generation of BJP leaders look pigmies in front of stature of Mr Vajpayee .

Why cant we have early elections? Do we have to go through this torture till the entire term is complete, when it has been obvious for the longest time that the Congress has failed the mandate given to them by the country? Who is Sonia Gandhi to declare that there will be no early elections? Can someone please explain the intricacies to me.

I think it's best that elections take place next year. Current scenario not very encouraging for BJP/NDA . All surveys at this point are predicting hung parliament . BJP-NDA has 9 months to work hard to change Anti Congress votes to Pro BJP votes . So I think it's in favor with BJP.

Truly speaking, BJP leaders have class unlike Congress robber stamps .

Well as the leader of UPA it's prerogative of Sonia Gandhi to decide when to dissolve current Loksabha and call for elections. Given difficult scenario , they would like to complete the term , make sure the negativity around settles a bit so they can seek fresh mandate. Sonia Gandhi is the most shrewd Indian politician today. Do not under estimate her ! She is well advised by her political secretaries !!! No ruling party would like to go for early elections unless they are dead sure of the victory. Given current circumstances it's obvious that they will like to drag it till the end hoping for improvement in situation in India .

 

[doppelganger]

Thanks @Indo-guy . But what is the process to call for elections (date, early/on time, etc.)? Who does it? Is it one person, or has there to be a consensus, or does it automatically kick in after set period of time?

I also do not appreciate the noises coming out of the BJP. The other day Rudy was saying the economy is so screwed up, even when/if the BJP comes to power, it will take them a minimum of 2 years to reverse the damage done by the Congress. To me that sounds like setting the ground for more of the same crap, just by different leadership.

Edit: I saw your new post just now!

 

[Indo-guy]

Besides neither ministers nor MPs( for that matter even opposition MPs ) like to give up the power to exploit till very end ...majority like to stick around like leeches even when they are filled with blood of fellow countrymen !!!
