The Mumbai Congress chief Janardan Chandurkar wants legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar's stripped of her Bharat Ratna after her public endorsement of Narendra Modi's candidature for India's next prime ministership.

"Lata Mangeshkar's Bharat Ratna should be taken away as she has endorsed Narendra Modi. We should take back the Padma awards of all those who support Narendra Modi," Mr Chandurkar said, without naming any Padma awardee.

"Narendrabhai is like my brother. All of us want to see him become the Prime Minister. On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, I hope our wishes would come true," Ms Mangeshkar had said earlier this month at a function in Pune after the BJP's prime ministerial candidate inaugurated a hospital named after the singer's father, Deenanath Mangeshkar.

The 84-year-old singer was awarded the Bharat Ratna in 2001.

The BJP has reacted strongly to Mr Chandurkar's statement. "Do Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi endorse this demand? If Chandurkar's demand is genuine, then why is the Congress asking Sachin Tendulkar to campaign for their party. This shows the Congress's double standards," Maharashtra BJP president Devendra Fadnavis told NDTV.

In July this year, the BJP's Rajya Sabha MP Chandan Mitra had demanded that Nobel laureate Amartya Sen be stripped of his Bharat Ratna for saying that he would not like to see Mr Modi as the country's next Prime Minister.

The Congress had shot back, asking the BJP to explain if it thought the Bharat Ratna was like a "ceiling fan that comes with a seven-year warranty."

"That is why, more recently, 65 members of India's parliament wrote to President Barack Obama, requesting that he not issue Modi a visa. Sadly, despite all this, Gujarat's most controversial resident is the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party candidate in India's 2014 prime ministerial election," Swett and Glendon wrote.

9 out off 65 member told its a fake signature, they never signed in that letter. they can right letter or request to any one in this world, but it not should be on the letter head of Member of Parliament.. that is against the secret oath taken by the MP's. out of 65 some 25-28 are from congress and out of that one congress MP told he never seen or signed the paper. Criminal offense of forging MP's Signature..

Good Work from Kongress but again caught in fire... like Rs. 5 & Rs. 12 meal available in New Delhi & Mumbai. No national pride for kongress ever so, if they have they never follow the Brits "divide and Rule policy" in here... Gandhi their name even for Raul Vinci, no guts to face the people in their real image.

"Poverty is a State of Mind" - Raul Vinci. 
Indian Quota system is worst in this world, only minority appeasement nothing for any once growth. it still keep the poor and bright students out of top Institutes and in Govt Service. in that even some crooks ask for quota for promotion in a job.. split the quota according to income not via religion or community.

for this who going to tie the bell..!

Was talking to an ex Senior Naval Officer who used to manage major weapons projects for the Navy as part of his responsibility. He said, it is a common knowledge within the defense establishment, there was a percentage commission from defense dealers which goes to various political parties (mind it - not just ruling party - even the commies) helping them run their parties. He said the practice started in the early 1970s when the fear of nationalization of various large private enterprises by Indira Gandhi saw a reduction in election funding for the Congress from those enterprises.

You are dead wrong. Political parties get money only during Expensive deals above billion $ where defence minister is directly involved. That too only the ruling part gets the funds. There is no reason why any organization would pay the opposition party bribe . Otherwise for most regular military purchase only the officers of the Navy, Air force or Army get the bribe money.

In fact money also have to be paid to get your bill passed and collect dues from the defence institutions. Politicians do not get any share of that.

People have a soft-spot for Rajiv Gandhi since he was killed but in reality he was a corrupt leader like all other Congressis starting from Nehru....

The same way, Sonia will use 2G, coal scam money as party fund in the coming elections. She is after all Rajiv's wife

 

[JanjaWeed]

Just goes to show Congress is the root cause all evils prevailing in India.. whether it's political corruption or communal division or dynastic politics. You name it... they take the lead on all these & set examples for others to follow. No one can deny that.

You're comparing a nobel prize winner with a bollywood singer...

She is a genuine Bharat Ratna whose music has inspired millions including the first PM Jawaharlal Nehru who was moved to tears when she sang "Aie mere watan ke logon" 

Dude seriously, it is VERY fashionable to say that the nobel is 'easy to get' but not. True for Nobel PEACE prize there have been very controversial decisions. But in medicine, physics and economics they are at least at the very leading edge of their fields. Developmental economics as purported by Amartya sen may not be acceptable or agreed upon by many people (since it's also fashionable to reject anything with socialist overtones), but it is still a very very important corrective/ way of looking at things.

Nobel Prize in Economics is actually not a Nobel Prize. It was started years later.

Although not one of the Nobel Prizes established by the will of Alfred Nobel in 1895, it is identified with them, and prizes are announced with and awarded at the same ceremony.

The Prize in Economics, as it is referred to by the Nobel Foundation, was established and endowed by Sweden's central bank Sveriges Riksbank, in 1968 on the occasion of the bank's 300th anniversary, in memory of Alfred Nobel

ask an economist what it means. And no- fundamental researchers are the leaders of their fields. Lata might have been a good singer, but doesn't make a cut in the status accorded to the Nobel. There is a reasn why only literature has a nobel.

Tea seller can't become India's PM, says Samajwadi Party's Naresh Agarwal on Narendra Modi
New Delhi: In an apparent dig at BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Samajwadi Party leader Naresh Agarwal today said that a person who used to sell tea cannot have a national perspective.

"Narendra Modi wants to become a PM. Someone rising from a tea shop can never have a national perspective. Like, if you make a 'sipahi' (constable) as 'kaptan' (Superintendent of Police) he can never have SP's approach but will have that of a constable," Mr Agarwal said in comments that could stoke a controversy.

Addressing a gathering in Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi, Mr Agarwal also said the prime minister of a country has to be an able person of national stature.

"As far as crowd is concerned, a 'madari' (street performer) also gathers it," he said taking a swipe at the BJP.

Mr Agarwal, who launched a scathing attack on Mr Modi, has also previously targeted the BJP leader with some controversial comments.

At his rallies, Mr Modi often refers to his own socio-economic background and humble origins while targeting the Gandhi-Nehru family, saying people who are ruling at the Centre "don't know what poverty is all about, but I know it."

"I was born in a poor family, and have seen and lived in poverty. I have sold tea at the railway station and in running trains... those selling tea in trains know more about railways than the minister," the Gujarat Chief Minister said at a recent rally in Patna.

When he was six years old, Mr Modi helped his father sell tea to passengers whenever an odd train came into the small Vadnagar station in Gujarat, according to a book titled "The anatomy of Narendra Modi--the man and his politics" authored by Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay.

Mr Agarwal last month also courted controversy after he compared the BJP to a 'widow' and had said that Mr Modi's thoughts were like a CM and not a PM.

"There is a saying in my village that if you ask a widow's blessings, she will ask you to become like her. The BJP too is asking everyone to become like them. Mr Modi's thoughts are limited as he is a CM of small state," Mr Agarwal had said. The BJP had slammed Mr Agarwal for these comments calling it highly derogatory.

Such is the feudal mindset of these corrupt votebank pseudo secular leaders.This is a blatant insult to the majority of Indian population.This means that if you are a low level worker at some point in your life then ,you cannot dream of achieving a high position no matter however hard and sincerely you work... simply because you are not worth it by default!!!!
Is this the kind of system that we should aspire for in our country???
The choice is clearly yours.......

 

[Ammyy]

Soo true. Modi deserves to be in jail waiting for the hangman's noose, instead he is galavanting around calling himself the next PM. So sad.

Then that bastard gandhi family should be hanged in public for crime that they commit from emergency (where indira kill uncountable people), 84, thug rajiv (for his corruption) etc etc.

Modi poster child of India's failure to punish the violent: US panel - The Times of India

We should all vote on qualifications, political acumen, administrative record and rhetoric....
On the flipside, how would you like to rate the decision of incumbent party to promote heir of a gandhi family as a prime ministerial candidate? Given a choice between Rahul Gandhi and Modi" (Which is quite unfortunate), the choice becomes obvious....

Unfortunately there are no primaries where the party can vote for the candidates, if that was the case neither would have made it.

No, both would have made it.
