Modi should come up with Air pollution control policy for the whole country. I think it is the need of the hour. India is seeing mad development in cities with no control over the resulting pollution. This impacts everyone so why not think about it.

He has written an excellent book on carbon emission and pollution. He has set a dead line of 0 carbon emission in Gujarat.

Nice, such things should become a part of his speeches now and the context should be whole India not only Gujarat.

The reason he talks about GJ is that, he need to show his performance and track record. Becoz he's not got the backing of national media and congress as Kejriwal does.

Once he become PM, Surely he will work on it. He made Amadavad a very clean city from a highly poluted one. He did it with surat (Dirty to clean) also.

Mamata may do the tango with Modi

For the Lok Sabha poll, the BJP is hardly a player in West Bengal. But the Chief Minister's tirade against UPA2 seems like a tacit expression of her preference for the BJP and its prime ministerial candidate

It’s a measure of Ms Mamata Banerjee’s political dexterity that no one knows which camp she will be aligned with for the Lok Sabha election. Perhaps she herself doesn’t know yet, for her choices are rooted in pragmatism and not principle, and the winning pattern has yet to emerge. But Mr Prakash Karat of the CPI(M) and Mr Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the Minister of State for Railways who now heads the Congress’s West Bengal unit — both her deadly foes — accuse her of being in cahoots with Mr Narendra Modi.

That doesn’t mean other choices are ruled out. She is probably dreaming of a national coalition dominated by her Trinamool Congress in which rival regional chiefs like Mr Nitish Kumar and Mr Naveen Patnaik can’t question her supremacy. Her West Bengal base is secure with 55 per cent of Bengalis professing to be happy with Trinamool’s performance, and a high 60 per cent expressing satisfaction with the Chief Minister personally. But the Bengali’s long-standing romance with the revolution that never was continues to shimmer, albeit less brightly than before. A recent survey shows that 30 per cent of Bengalis — 28 per cent in the countryside and 36 per cent in towns — feel the vanquished Left Front performed better than the Trinamool Congress Government is doing. However, rural nostalgia for the Left Front is down by one per cent since last year while urban yearning has fallen by three per cent. Only three per cent of the Lokniti-IBN National Tracker Poll respondents saw Mr Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, the second and last Left Front Chief Minister, as a future Prime Minister. In contrast, Ms Banerjee enjoys 11 per cent support in that role.

More to the point, support for Mr Modi’s prime ministerial ambitions has spectacularly doubled from nine to 18 per cent. Middle class urban Bengal still keenly feels the loss of the proposed Tata car factory at Singur. The move to Gujarat was a tremendous PR victory for Mr Modi. Bengalis also regret that the Trinamool Congress has not succeeded in attracting major investment. Despite the claim by the Finance Minister, Mr Amit Mitra, of a 64 per cent increase in revenue collection (from Rs 27,000 crore to more than Rs 45,000 crore), jobs are scarce and educated young men have no option but to move to other States. Even the labouring classes have little scope for gainful employment for the only visible economic activity in Bengal is construction of condominiums.

Economic reality on the ground obliges Trinamool leaders to look askance at what could be the rising star of Mr Arvind Kejriwal. They might joke in private about rechristening Mango Lane in central Calcutta, ‘Aam Aadmi Gali’, but the whisper is that the Chief Minister has ordered her lieutenants to never publicly discuss the Aam Aadmi Party. Trinamool is determined to be aam aadmi’s sole spokesman in Bengal, as the Marxists were for many years. Another ostentatiously grassroots organisation threatening to contest several Bengal parliamentary seats might steal some of Ms Banerjee’s thunder, especially in towns. A Kejriwal who resigns to fight another day from a stronger position would be her strategic match.

The loser in all this seems to be the Congress whose Union Government Ms Banerjee again accuses of holding up progress by denying West Bengal’s demand for repayment relief on central loans. Even without this specific charge, the poor attendance at Congress rallies (compared to the mammoth crowds the Trinamool, Marxists and BJP have mustered in recent weeks) is a reminder that for a long time now, Congress has seemed more like a Hindi heartland than a national organisation. Mr Modi astutely played on this grievance at his February 5 rally by recalling Mahatma Gandhi’s attitude to Subhas Chandra Bose at the 1939 Tripuri Congress which continues to rankle in the Bengali subconscious.

Support for Mr Rahul Gandhi as a potential Prime Minister has fallen from 12 to nine per cent, dissatisfaction with the UPA regime at the Centre is growing, and the share of those who want it to return to power this year has dwindled from 40 to only 29 per cent. Mr Manmohan Singh, a good man fallen among politicians, is personally blamed for the UPA’s failures. Those who are dissatisfied with him remain a static 38 per cent but those who say they are satisfied have decreased from 43 to 39 per cent. Only five per cent of respondents want him back in office against the 11 per cent who did so last year. Even Mr Gandhi’s tirades against the system appear to indict the Prime Minister who stands by definition at the apex of any governmental system.

It would not be right to describe the BJP as the gainer, for it is hardly a player in West Bengal. But Ms Banerjee’s latest tirade against the UPA2 can be interpreted as a tacit expression of her preference for Mr Modi. While his publicists trumpet the Gujarat Chief Minister as the messiah of miraculous growth, his real appeal in West Bengal lies in being seen as a custodian of majority community interests. This is seldom articulated, and never in public. But the feeling has been growing that India is vulnerable to the machinations of a hostile Pakistan in the west and in the east to an unsettled Bangladesh whose flood of illegal migrants is changing West Bengal’s demographic pattern, especially in the border districts.

Muslim support for the Trinamool has increased from 36 per cent to 54 per cent because Muslim voters, who abandoned their traditional ties with Congress for the Left, have lately been turning away from the Left Front parties. Ms Banerjee’s claim of having fulfilled 90 per cent of the Sachar Committee’s recommendations may not be taken seriously but photographs of her saying namaz in a burqa, and the allowance she has sanctioned for mullahs, have an emotive effect.

Since the BJP is not directly involved in West Bengal, Mr Modi’s suggestion of “friendly competition” between Ms Banerjee in Calcutta and himself in Delhi (a laddoo in each hand, he said jocularly) might find favour with her. But only if she cannot emerge as kingmaker or, better still, the queen. Much will depend on her calculations of how many parliamentary seats the Trinamool can hope to win and what potential coalition prospects emerge.

केन्द्रीय मंत्रिमंडल ने आज नये राष्ट्रीय राजमार्गों (एनएच) के रूप में 7,200 किलोमीटर राज्य सड़कों की घोषणा को अपनी स्वीकृति दी। केंद्र के इस फैसले से सड़को की रूप रेखा में भरी सुधार की आशा हैं जिससे कई जिले जो अभी तक शहरो से कटे रहते थे उन्हे प्रगति और बढ़ने का अब मौका मिलेगा।

UPA government will convert 7,200 Km of state roads into National Highways. With this greater and better connectivity, growth and development will usher in the remote parts of the country.

Govt to set up Equal Opportunities Commission for minorities - The Times of India

Govt to set up Equal Opportunities Commission for minorities

NEW DELHI: Ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, the government on Thursday cleared a proposal for setting up the much-awaitedEqual Opportunities Commission (EOC), a statutory body to check discrimination of minority communities in jobs and education.

The Justice Sachar Committee, which went into the socio-economic backwardness of Muslims, had recommended setting up of such a panel. The proposal got the nod of the Union Cabinet today.

EOC will also deal with grievances like denial of accommodation or buying rights to minorities in housing societies.

The recommendation for setting up of EOC was made during UPA-I itself and the minority affairs ministry had begun the process to establish an omnibus body that could include all sections as soon as the UPA II government came to power.

A jumbo Group of Ministers, chaired by A K Antony, was set up to look into the matter as disputes arose about the location and powers of the panel with various other national commissions and ministries complaining that the proposed mandate of EOC would be encroaching upon their mandate.

The GoM had later mandated that EOC will deal exclusively with minorities.

EOC's mandate is to ensure that no minority community is discriminated against on religious grounds by redressing complaints. It has to make binding recommendations that people from minority communities find adequate representation in government employment or educational institutions.

The Sachar Committee that studied the socio-economic condition of the minorities in India had noted that though Muslims constituted 18.5 per cent of the population, their representation in bureaucracy was just about 2.5 per cent.

Bihar alliance talks move forward: Congress to contest 12 seats, LJP 7, rest for RJD - The Economic Times

NEW DELHI: Alliance talks among Congress, the Rashtriya Janata Dal and Lok Janshakti Party appear to be finally moving forward. Congress is expected to contest 12 seats in Bihar, while Ram Vilas Paswan's LJP will contest seven, and the remaining 20 will be left to Lalu Prasad's RJD. Congress is expected to set aside one seat, Katihar, for its NCP ally. In 2009, NCP's Tariq Anwar had contested, and lost, from Katihar
A Congress leader close to developments said that agreement has been reached on the number of seats each party will contest. "However, we are still working on the constituencies which Congress will contest."

The party has identified 12 constituencies, party members said. These include Kishanganj and Sasaram, which are currently held by its members Mohammed Asarul Haque and speaker Meira Kumar, respectively. Among the other constituencies identified by the Congress are Madhubani , Sitamarhi , Jhanjharpur, Supaul, Khagaria, Bhagalpur, Jamui, Purnia, Patna Sahib and Aurangabad.

In six of the constituencies that Congress has asked for, its candidates came third after the RJD in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections. This includes Madhubani, which is Congress spokesperson and former minister of state for home Shakeel Ahmad's constituency. Though Ahmad won from this seat in 2004 and 1999, it went to the BJP in the last general elections. Ahmad garnered 111,423 votes (20% of the vote share) but RJD legislature party leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui got nearly 43,000 votes more than him. Both RJD and Congress are keen to have this seat in their kitty.

Similarly, the Congress would like Jamui as Bihar PCC chief Ashok Chaudhury contested from this constituency in 2009, although he came a distant third in the electoral race with 13.31% of the vote share to a 27.79% vote share for the RJD. "Some adjustments will have to be made, but it is a tough call," a senior leader said.

Congress leaders say that differences notwithstanding they don't expect a repeat of 2009. "The RJD has seen the folly of its action and they realise that an alliance with the Congress will be beneficial," a senior leader from the state said.

Congress leaders from the Bihar state unit are insistent that they would prefer to go it alone in the state. During their interaction with Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi after the AICC session in January, the Bihar leaders had made it clear that there should be no alliance and the Congress should go it alone. However, aware of the ground realities and the need for partnerships, the central unit is keen to seal its alliance with the RJD.

Bihar 2009
Janata Dal (United) 20 24.04% National Democratic Alliance
Bharatiya Janata Party 12 13.93% National Democratic Alliance
Rashtriya Janata Dal 4 19.30% Fourth Front
Indian National Congress2 10.26% United Progressive Alliance
The total of Nda vote share almost 38 percent Rjd and congress were divided in 2009 total vote share is 29.50 see the rjd performance down will get the clear picture .
Nda is now divide rahul already said in interview Cong going in alliance with Rjd as per this opinion Upa will get 22 to 28 seats
alone from bihar


Bihar 2004
Rashtriya Janata Dal 22 30.67 United Progressive Alliance
Janata Dal (United) 6 22.36 National Democratic Alliance
Bharatiya Janata Party 5 14.57 National Democratic Alliance
Lok Janshakti Party 4 8.19 United Progressive Alliance
Indian National Congress3 4.49 United Progressive Alliance
