JD(U) leader urges Nitish to cancel Narendra Modi's rally in Patna


Patna: A JD(U) leader has urged Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to cancel BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's proposed rally here on October 27, saying that it will be a "dangerous challenge for the peaceful environment of the state".

"I also request you not to hesitate in arresting Modi if he dares to hold this rally in anyway," the JD(U) youth wing national general secretary Pradeep Yadav said in a letter to the Chief Minister.

Saying that the 'Hunkar' rally may pose a serious challenge to the peaceful environment in Bihar, Yadav charged BJP with being "hell bent" on destroying harmony and creating communal tension in the state ever since JD(U) parted ways with NDA.

"The Hunkar rally may pose the most dangerous challenge for Bihar by endangering the prevailing peaceful environment in the state," Yadav said, appealing for an immediate cancellation of the rally.

Copies of the letter were sent to JD(U) national president Sharad Yadav and state unit chief Bashistha Narayan Singh.

Facebook generation changes rules of game

NEW DELHI: Political strategists will blink in disbelief and professional marketers reach for their Ipads. In less than two months, a self-professed youth platform has reached over 700 colleges and put up a show in the national capital that made the political class sit up.

There is an "activist" tone to Indian citizens of accountable governance that brought BJP's prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi and TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu on the same stage after some 16,000 students signed up for the event.

The high-sounding description is intended to be neutral, but CAG organizers, who include IIT and IIM alumni, don't shed much light about themselves and, unlike most start-ups, almost chronically publicity shy despite their blue kurtas.

CAG's success in attracting students and, more importantly drumming up finance, has put the spotlight on the group's aim to "connect politicians and youth" over development agendas relevant for India.

Reaching across 200 cities the CAG, an organizer, speaking anonymously, said "The youth want to be part of governance. This is a platform for youth to tell politicians their idea of development as they are yearning for change."

As Modi sat through the "Manthan" event organized by CAG on Wednesday intently following 14 presentations made by students, the platform is also under scrutiny over whether it "tilts" towards the saffron brigade and its neutrality is somewhat contrived.

The caginess of CAG organizers doesn't help lift the mist, but the youth platform may well herald increasing instances of "citizen activists" — either individually or in groups — influencing public debate, and perhaps voting preferences.

CAG can be seen as a natural progression of the Anna Hazare movement, with influential groups seeking to impact politics in a manner not previously seen in India. In some ways, citizen activists are reminiscent of Barack Obama's army of volunteers who campaigned fiercely for the rookie Senator as US President in 2008.

Little wonder that Modi took time off to be among the youthful crowd with whom he seemed to strike a good rapport. In combining a social media presence with on-the-ground organization, groups like CAG are of huge interest to political parties.

The power of even small, but vocal, well-funded groups has been seen before Obama too as when Democratic candidate John Kerry's bid to challenge George Bush in 2004 suffered grievously after Vietnam veterans successfully questioned his war record.

The CAG-type platforms are a perfect opportunity to leaders, particularly those like Modi and Rahul Gandhi who are vying for the youth vote, to showcase themselves. CAG organizers said they sought Rahul's participation, but did not get a positive response.

Analyzing Modi's speech, IIM-Kozhikode student Umakant Sahu said, "He is trying to change his image from a hardcore Hinduwadi to a development-oriented politician. And he seems to be successful in doing it."

Organizers said they invited politicians from all major political parties but many either turned down their plea or cited busy schedules.

The multiplier effect of such conferences is also being felt. Students who couldn't come to Delhi watched the event live on internet. "Through this convention, politicians who spoke reached out to so many students. It is a good public relation exercise," said a student from IIT-Madras.

Rare January 2002 interview of Narendra Modi reveals Reformist ThinkingPosted by : India272 Staff | Category : Narendra Modi
He does not make little of where he comes from, in fact wearing his ‘Gujarati-ness’ , on his sleeve as was evident when Ajay Singh of The Business Standard interviewed Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in January 2002.

Matter of fact, dedicated, very much son of the soil, even before he had gained any quotable success as a CM, Narendra Modi was and still is unassuming.

The fact the he is a visionary is pretty evident when one takes note of the following points that emerge from the interview:

Accountability, perhaps the foremost reason Gujarat is the state that it is today. Modi points out that he had made an appointment with the then PM Atal Bihari Vajpayiee to apprise him of the developmental work carried out by the state post the devastating earthquake. “This is the first time that a chief minister is asking the Centre to ask the state about utilisation of funds for an earthquake-hit area,”

Recognising that agriculture is the mainstay of the Indian economy, he employed the expertise of professionals instead of bureaucrats, creating a bio- technology ministry that looked into bettering the output of farmers and other industries tied to agriculture as well, while also looking into pharmaceuticals and marine bio- technology. The state’s annual agricultural growth is now touted to be somewhere in the 10- 11 per cent region.

‘Politics has no business doing business’. Although he uttered the line in 2013 he has always been a firm believer of the words. He made the largely arid state one of the most business friendly zones in the country allowing for maximum privatisation and ensuring that bureaucratic red tape would not be a problem for those who were looking to set up their own enterprise.

Making an example out of the Government, a practise long forgotten but revived by Modi. Questioned by Singh regarding allegations that his Government was proving to be uncooperative in the re- building measures being carried out in Kutch, he explains that 95 per cent of the rehabilitation work had been carried out by the state government saying, “the state is supposed to play the dominant role.”
