Is Gujarat's red hot economy a myth?

[harpoon]

1. Modi is a blue eye boy of Big corporates who controls the Media and thus Modi hype.

I don't understand that if some leader makes it easier for businesses to set up shops , he suddenly becomes lackeys of corporates. AFAIK, Singur & Nanadigram did not happened in Gujurat.

2. Modi is a friend of china thus enemy of India.

You can thank Congress for making PRC an enemy of India in the first place.

That's the beauty of Indian political system
2014 will bring the change. Congress days are done. They need miracle to survive. It doesn't mean that BJP will win but congress will lose its 30% seats. The NE who gets it will make a government will help of others. So Modi will be first choice

There are enough ignorant villagers & minorities out there to vote for Congress no matter what.

if there is shortage of power then howcome punjab gonna export electricity to pakistan thorugh wagah. electricity never goes off in amritsar. power com is shortage of funds but thats because of state policy of providing free electricity to farmers and too many newly installed street lightings that keep on litting even at daytime. once this is taken care of things will be fine

I've heard of cities in Haryana such as Gurgaon has no power cuts whatsoever, as compared to other developing cities such as Chandigarh and places in Panipat. Gujarat on the other hand has been successful to produce electricity to most, if not all cities throughout the state.

First time in my life I am gona thank our ignorant population
Increase in Oil , LPG , food grains , electricity and over all increase in cost of all things will be blamed on CONGRESS plus corruption issue is going to be major issue drowning Congress.
Only sad thing is it doesn't garrenty BJP's win.
BJP right now is a leaderless party with alot of internal fighting. They have strong chance if they resolve their issues and send grandpa Advani to retirement and name Modi the PM candidate

Modi as PM candidate has one inherent problem..............

If BJP want to form a government with modi as PM,it has to reach a mark of 225 in lok sabha as in case of modi as CM support of Shiva Sena,Akalis and Jaylalita could be counted upon.

BJP could form a government with 190 seats if there is a consensus PM candidate.The congress is luckey in this matter as it could scrap numbers even with 165 seats.

Gujrat was industrial state before modi. You will find patels in most of the worlds telephone directories!

Most of the parties of NDA won't oppose Modi except Nitish Kumar. But BJP right now has only one potential candidate. Any one in BJP go near to challenge Modi will be Mrs. Sushma Swaraj. But she too have not too much backing in party. If BJP can do solo 190 Modi is PM. I think congress will get 90-120 seats. Not more than that. SP may be king maker if they can keep UP people happy till 2014. Or it will be just plain run for BJP

LOL....

Just wait for 2014 and watch NGO's, journalists (on payroll of congress) and media outlets (Hint: NDTV and likes) to start digging old stories and spewing non-sense like this one in BBC by Soutik Biswas
Delhi correspondent.

Congress'es are famous in spreading propaganda via many ways, as they are doing against Mr Modi since 6 or 7 years.

Hint for all you guys from this article itself:-

Of the five states with double-digit growth, Mr Bhattacharya notes, three are ruled by the Congress party, which has come under fire in the capital for going slow on economic reforms!

Now tell me what was the need of this line?

Sorry to tell you but government of punjab is bankrupt.

Why lavish Punjab wants a bailout - Indian Express

The state has a fiscal deficit of Rs 12638 Crores and revenue deficit at an alarming rate of Rs 9173 Crore.

And with the Sops announced by Government.(Congress is threatening to make sure that government fulfils all it's promise thus getting sweet revenge),The state is all set to go bankrupt without a bailout from central government.

The growth model of Punjab is liquidity based as that of housing bubble of US without the benifit of reserve currency.

For the bold bit's can you put that stuff in layman's terms.
And the fiscal deficit is because of corrupt Badal and co.The funny thing is Parakash Singh Badal is a B.A pass country hick who knows nothing about governance and policy making



P.S - He's considered to be the most nikama person in his villlage Badal and heard he's in the line of Presidency

 

[RoYaL~GuJJaR]

The ironic thing, is that if Modi became the Prime Minister of India, and applied the Gujarat model to other parts of the country, then India would be in a very strong economic position in the region. To the point where they might become an actual competitive threat to the Chinese economy.

But the Indians themselves (especially Congress) are sinking Modi and defaming him to the point where no one can even say his name without thinking of the Gujarat riots. Regardless of the fact that the Indian judicial system has not actually found him guilty of anything.

Why should we worry about economic competition from India, when they are keeping themselves down?

Well i usually don't agree with your views, but got to say "I couldn't have said it better"

AFAIK gujarat should be the first state who provides 24 hour electricity to whole state....be it village or city....atleast in vadodara i don't remember when power was cut last time.....must be 20-25 days back for 2-4 minutes due to 'aandhi'.

Only parties who would be cool with Modi as PM would be Shiv sena,AIADMK,AKALI's and probably mayawati.

BJP at 190 would require support of BJD and Trinmool at least.Modi would not be acceptable to them as they would lose muslim votes.For Modi as PM,BJP would have to win 220+ seats on it's own.

 

[RoYaL~GuJJaR]

Modi is a friend of china thus enemy of India.

Modi is friend of Progress/development he had a vision when he got elected as CM of Guj for the first and he delivered it to the people see where Guj stand in comparison to other states of India. Guj is the only state which is competing with China when it comes to economic growth leaving rest of India behind. Hence, he is been re-elected for the 3rd time by the people of Guj (15 years!!!)

I Personally have no hope for India, except Modi as pm in 2014!!

Only 6 or 7 years. They are doing it since 2002 and Modi gets elected again and again in Gujurat. Anyways does anybody knows why this Teesta Setalvad is so angry with Modi all the time. Its like she is going to explode with rage against Modi whenever she appears on TV.

I disagree.Kerala doesn't had any powercuts for a long time now (may be for more than 3 years). Now we have half hour load shedding, but only until June.

The meaning of that quote was that the recent growth in Punjab has been due to increase in consumption supported by government expenditure in form of subsidies.

The classical example of this would be our own country's economy durind 1988-92 period.Just before the BOP crisis of 1991,Indian economy was growing at the rate of 6-7%.The reason for it was expenditure by government.

It is equivalent to a person taking a loan to maintain lavish lifestyle.But the problem is that loans have to be returned and if you do not invest them in asset generation,yo will eventually go bankrupt.

But it was not a longlasting growth.The government ran huge fiscal deficit and our reserves plummpetted. The rise in prices of crude during Gulf war was last straw.


Similarly every state where politicians are promising mixer grinders to the population is facing problem of bad finances.

WB is bankrupt,Kerala has unsustainable deficit,TN debt is soaring even after the fact that liquor business in TN is govt owned and is used to finance populist schemes.Punjab is predicted to go bankrupt by next year.

Indian Express is Centre-Right newspaper and they frown upon this kind of fiscal indiscipline.There was a analaysis given in IE that if SP fulfills it's promise the UP budget would go from 7000 crore surplus to 10000 crore deficit.

Anothe problem with Punjab is that since in punjab government changes alternately,it is of no use for a government to seek fiscal discipline as they think of it as problem of next government.
