India govt. in a 2002 speech promises to "make India a Developed Nation by 2020"; Only 13 days left in 2020, what is the progress of this plan?

[Protest_again]

His son still is still an influencial leader in Indian politics even today, the family bloodline never stops, which is unheard of in China.

It's a democracy dumbo, anyone can contest and get votes. We do not want comparing ourselves with communist state, no thanks.

Demoncracy, Inian style

View: Why revile only Rahul? Dynasties flourish in BJP too, it just knows how to hide them

BJP accounts for 44.4% of all heirs elected to the Lok Sabha in 2014. So, dynasticism in Indian politics is neither recent nor restricted to a party.

LOl, name calling only shows your frustration, how come the leaders mostly are from just one family? Do they have super genes or what?

 

[Imran Khan]

why you take them so serious its just political tool to keep mob in control

 

[Han-Tang]

No one from Gandhi family was our prime minister in over 2 decades. Last Gandhi prime minister died in 1989, 30 years ago.

Yes, They sell dreams that's how democracies work. They make promises and people judge on their deliverance. We are not enslaved by a single party. PM Vajpayee from the source lost power the next term itself.

ok, it seems like you prefer the process, and we prefer the result.

 

[Protest_again]

Give it up man and please stop making excuses for unscientific, inefficient and oppressive Indian political, social, economic and technological arrangements ? We have to change our system.

Where is the Indian manned Moon mission by 2020 that was promised by ISRO in 2009 ( recent thread on that here ) ? By now, given the regular proclamations of ISRO, the industrial base in India and the much-vaunted pool of engineers and scientists there should have been an Indian manned settlement on Mars.

Where are the "100 Smart Cities" now in 2020 that were promised by Modi after he became PM in 2014 ?

Where are the 15 lakhs he promised to every Indian after obtaining the supposed massive black money deposited outside ?

Where are the two crore jobs per year that he promised ? I would prefer these are scientifically-devised employments.

Why are Indians still homeless, hungry, blind and diseased despite the six-year presence of Angel Modi ?

All he has done is waste money and other resources in the manner like I listed in this post.

Let us not make any more excuses on behalf of the wrong system in India, point to other countries and instead decide to remake India into a progressive and advanced society.

We are not idiots to believe in what all leaders say. You want all liberties in the country and yet want Chinese level growth. You make a shit show in Delhi for every reform, sometimes start riots for wanting to rid country of illegals and still yet want 15 lakhs into accounts. Be thankful for what you have. Stop making controversies and make your own life better. Government can only do so much if you don't work on your own.

And oh, you are living in a populist democracy and Modi seems to be winning. If you are having it bad, consider shifting somewhere else. From the likes of it, Modi is staying at the helm for a long time.

ok, it seems like you prefer the process, and we prefer the result.

Exactly. Means to an end is important too for us. Thank you.

When most countries talk about it, especially big plans, they are just talking about it. It is estimated that only China has said to try to do it.

but don't you think that your process wastes too much resource? four years work, then start over?
and to be honest, your country's result till now is not so good.

Well if we go by the new system you are proposing you would be having your kidneys removed and sold to the highest bidder like certain advanced and progressive country to your north.

Exactly, and also BUY the votes.

What Indian voters buy with ‘bribes’ just before elections: Booze, good food & clothes

The IIM-Bengaluru and University of Kent study looked at consumption patterns of households in major states before & after elections and found a spike in the expenditure on some key items ahead of the vote.

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee's Independence Day Address 2002 says: Our aim is to free India from the curse of poverty and unemployment. It is to make India a Developed Nation by 2020.

Now that only 13 days left in 2020, may I know the progress of this promise?

Link to the India PM speech in 2002

Completely wrong!

india has been a superpower since 1990. india has been more powerful than america since 2005.

 

[Uguduwa]

he didn't say which calendar. maybe he meant 2020 in islamic calendar

 

[jamahir]

We are not idiots to believe in what all leaders say.

Which leaders ?

You want all liberties in the country and yet want Chinese level growth.

1. Which "liberties" did the suicided Dalit student Rohith Vemula and also his mother, sister and brother had throughout their oppressed lives ? Which "liberties" did the 300,000+ Indian suicided farmers have ? What "liberties" do the homeless in the country have while Modi's dear friend lives in a 27-storey "house" which also has an internal temple ? What "liberties" have many blind in India who remain blind not because there is no cure but they have no money and so some of their cases have to be put out on NDTV for people to donate towards the treatments ?

2. I don't agree with the current Chinese socio-economic system ( things like a supposedly communist system having rich and poor, and the poor not able to afford high-quality healthcare because of no free high-quality universal healthcare ) but the government did have long-term planning to set up things like microprocessor fabrication plants while in India even sensible groups like Tata doing non-sensible things like purchase of the British Jaguar car company for 2.3 billion dollars instead of risking some more money and setting up a microprocessor fab in India. But what elements of "Chinese growth" do you want in India if you want India to continue with its unscientific and inefficient system ? You make a contradictory statement.

sometimes start riots for wanting to rid country of illegals

Ah, so you are dismissing the world-known legitimate Indian people's anti-CAA movement as "starting riots". Should I find vids of Hindutva criminals like Kapil Mishra and Ragini Tiwari actually inciting riots and asking people to cut up Muslims ? Ragini Tiwari actually went live on Facebook saying that yet the government ( BJP ) hasn't arrested her and Facebook is fearful of censoring Hindutva trolls and criminals for fear of losing business in India and finding their Indian employees attacked by Hindutvadis ( a recent report by Facebook ).

Also about "starting riots" here is the famous picture from the Delhi riots from early this year, some Hindutvadi "patriots" killing a "Muslim illegal". He survived :

Is this not shameful ?

and still yet want 15 lakhs into accounts.

I am only asking about what the BJP promised six years ago.

Be thankful for what you have.

That's quite a silly statement. So I should not speak of betterment of my society ?

Stop making controversies and make your own life better.

Thank you. I am in the process of starting a company but I will also like to speak of atrocities ( like of the Hathras Dalit girl whose news I saw about half hour ago ). This is unlike the Hindutvad-supporting computer engineers who create chaos in India and run away to the West to selfishly better their own lives, and they carry their anti-human ideas to there.

Government can only do so much if you don't work on your own.

Yeah, and what have the few million Indian computer engineers "worked so much" and contributed to the world with some of their companies having five decades of existence ? More than 200,000 computer engineers graduate out of Indian colleges with degrees every year. Yet these millions have not designed locally two fundamental elements in a computer - the microprocessor and the operating system. Why have they not worked and what is the government doing about this, to repeat your question ?

If you are having it bad, consider shifting somewhere else.

I prefer to stay back and contribute to the society's betterment. That is how socialists / communists work.

From the likes of it, Modi is staying at the helm for a long time.

What has been his results in the last six years of PMship other than making pompous and vague speeches ?

but don't you think that your process wastes too much resource? four years work, then start over?
and to be honest, your country's result till now is not so good.

Agreed. And most of that work is short-term and demogogic because India is not a true democracy like Libya was but is a "Representative Democracy" which is a false democracy.

Libya didn't have political parties ( multi-party or two or single ) and five yearly elections so there was no regular chaos of the leaders resorting to demagogy to win elections and advance their own power at the expense of the people. So Libya went from a pre-revolutionary state of many people living in tents and tin huts and women living repressed lives to a socialist welfare state with free many things and women choosing their own husband without worrying about the disagreements of their brothers and fathers. "World's largest democracy" India has still not reached this progressive state.

Well if we go by the new system you are proposing you would be having your kidneys removed and sold to the highest bidder like certain advanced and progressive country to your north.

Silly post. Put more effort and reply back.

What is wrong with this new economic system I have proposed ? That sort of system will instantly convert India into an actually developed and advanced society that Vajpayee spoke of in 2002.

Exactly, and also BUY the votes.

Good research. Shows some of the flaws of Indian "democracy". Connects to the few others I mentioned to Han-Tang above.

 

[siegecrossbow]

I think what Protest_Again is trying to say is that we can just treat anything an I dian politician says as a fart in the wind. Same for their claims about driving China out of Ladakh.

Yes, vote an idiot in is also part of your freedom which we don't want.

 

[Beidou2020]

Why do Indian politicians brag endlessly about being a superpower in 2012/2020/2030? With the level of poverty in India it is a disgrace and an insult to those poor people.
