Will Congress survive the Twister it unleashed?? It’s come calling!!

                                       
Word twister most of us are familiar with! What is a twister? How is it formed?

A twister is a tornado or a cyclone. People often call it a twister when they are referring to a tornado. It's a bad storm that can cause horrible damage.
It’s a natural phenomenon. A tornado is a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Because wind is invisible, you can't always see a tornado. A visible sign of the tornado, a condensation funnel made up of water droplets, sometimes forms and may or may not touch the ground during the tornado life-cycle  Dust and debris in the rotating column also make a tornado visible and confirm its presence.
Post 2002 in order to win the local elections in Gujarat Congress created a twister, it converted a political issue into a legal issue, congress continued to add to it’s strength, inducted media, it’s most visible personnel, then NGOs, and individuals inimical to CM. By 2007 election time Congress had this twister going at a break neck speed, tried to add more power by using “Maut Ka Saudagar”  for the CM of Gujarat.

Congress lost the elections. We now had a Cottage Industry in place which was flourishing and raking in huge amount of fund. Yes this was the 2002 riots cottage Industry. Congress slipped into the background after the drubbing for the second consecutive time and media stepped up to take over and daily give us new inputs or “Blow to Modi” “Blow to Gujarat Govt” “Modi Cornered” “ Modi Exposed”.

Come 2008 Social media taking it's baby steps, people started to join & started to speak up by 2012 Social Media had become a very potent tool in the hands of those who just wanted truth and not mere allegation and fake stings or so called whistle blowers.

Surfeit of op-eds in print by known anti Modi member and newer recruits negating all development in Gujarat. Goalpost is no longer fixed it gets mobile and very nifty on it’s feet. Every time an op-ed is exposed with counter data, the goalpost is found at a newer location. If print was doing it’s bit, how could Electronic lag? 

Before we proceed further do read this list of names & derogatory terms used by Congress for Mr. Narendra Modi. A civil discourse is expected and required.  LINK

Post his elevation to the pole position as the Prime Ministerial candidate, media & congress went shriller to no avail. NaMo’s rallies starting from Hyderabad all the way to Delhi via Jaipur, Rewari, Bhopal & Trichy, would have left Congress and media benumbed. Never before have we witnessed such massive crowds at political rallies.
Not to be out done Congress hit upon a novel idea & unleashed Rahul Gandhi to score a serious self goal on the issue of Ordinance against Hon Supreme Courts order debarring convicted legislators.
Twister is no friend what has been unleashed by Congress could very easily remove the binding glue of Nehru-Gandhi clan from Congress party and ensure it is scattered in to million tiny pieces never to be joined ever again.

Contrived Victories Based On Fake Profiles & PR Companies


Congress has enjoyed an undue advantage of a co-opted main stream media print and electronic, It’s contented in the knowledge that it’s messages and spins are being disseminated non stop. It totally ignored the new emerging technical tools naturally!

Plenty has been spoken and written about social media in the past couple of years.
What is social media? Web definitions : Social media are media for social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques.

There are 13 most popular social networking sites. My focus is going to be solely on Twitter, this is the platform which has emerged as the one that congress party wants to dominate. Media and it’s venerable personnel are often heard complaining about Twitter.
Majority of main stream English media is left leaning both Electronic & Print. This has prevented Right of center views and voices from being heard. Advent of Twitter has made it possible for a very large section of the Indian society which was hitherto voiceless, not because it could not speak, but on account of no one willing to permit their voices to be heard.

Twitter became the natural choice for Right of center leaning people, these are well educated, young go getter earning very decent salaries and extremely tech savvy. The last quality of Tweeple is proving to be a real thorn in the side of Congress and media. In real world CBI and a collusive media can weaken the cases or can pointedly refuse to look at clues and evidence. On the net that is not happening, these tech savvy users not just pick up the finger prints but gather incontrovertible evidence.

This has lead to a running conflict with main stream English media and it’s venerated population, who were more accustomed to speaking down to us people without hearing from us. Twitter flattened the Earth much to their chagrin. 2010 December I wrote my first article about the pressure that was being exerted on main stream media.

Initial reaction of main stream media was dismissive, as was that of the Congress party. In the year 2012 Government brought amendments to Information Technology act sec66A.

All this while users of Twitter were multiplying at a reasonably high rate and almost all were questioning the main stream English media for it’s slanted and at times totally wrong reportage. Twitter is emerging as a primary source of information and a hub for Political debates. 

While media continued it’s tirade against Twitter and Tweeple government went a step further during Assam riots it unilaterally issued instructions to local ISPs to block Twitter accounts under pretext of spreading rumors leading to exodus of Indians from North East residing in different cities in India back to their native states.

Tweeple have played a very positive role in times of crisis and emergencies, be it Twin blast in Mumbai in 2011, recent Assam riots, drought in Maharashtra, and Uttrakhand tragedy. Funds have been raise volunteers have gone on site to assist in rehabilitation.


Political leaders of various parties have also signed up and do interact with general public. Mr. Narendra Modi had extensively deployed Social media in 2012 Gujarat elections.  This made Congress take notice and realize it was miles behind on the social media front. In its typical arrogance it deployed a few ministers and senior members to take on Mr.Modi. However the response that came was not always from him, but from the general public and that can be an unnerving experience for new user like Congress.

Media in the meantime came up with a theory that Social Media could influence between 165 to 210 seats in forthcoming General Elections. This was not a finding of media’s own but from a Knowledge foundation body and the study was backed by the Internet & Mobile Association body. This study shows that that Social media users may be the new island of new vote bank that conventional political class has to worry about. The report suggests that by the time India goes to poll in 2014 the SM users number would remain close to 80Mn. Add to this 25Mn NRIs those who now have voting rights. Even if they are not present physically to press the voting button, they still remain huge influencing block.

Based on the SM users intensity, the study details there are 160-High impacting constituencies, 67 medium constituencies and 60 other low or no impacting constituencies!

Findings such as these caused panic in Congress ranks and soon enough a new cell was created with a liberal budget to make it effective and dominant player on Social Media. But the problem was, they did not have the wherewithal nor the block of the new tech-savvy SM users were not ready to be influenced by its cosmetic means. 

Twitter is not a forum for gladiatorial competition, who is to explain this to Congress and main stream media which just can’t accept the fact they no longer call the shots and the world does not revolve around them. Expectedly Congress could not cope up with the steady barrage of damaging Tweets on a daily basis, besides having to live with a diminished effect of media which was being challenged and exposed daily by Tweeple.

Ah there was also an event “Who’s afraid of the Social Media” Paranoia in media and Congress is palpable.

‘If you have the money, you can bribe your way through’ had been guiding principle since times immemorial for Congress. So it started the recruitment drive, to no effect, hired journalists specifically for the Social Media cell results awaited. In the mean times the challenges started to increase and arrogance demanded domination, sycophancy dictated positive outcomes to be placed before the presiding deities, what was then going to hold them back ? Soon fake identities began to be created for the sole purpose of posing a challenge to Mr. Modi. Unfortunately, all this came to a naught, as the tech savvy opponents exposed all their dirty tricks.


Congress wants to win a modern day war with antiquated weaponry and political relics.  

Two avoidable practices that have come about on Twitter. Trending a Topic and #Hashtag war.

Trending a Topic

Trending a topic on Twitter is juvenile, it’s no more than hearing a child state “My Daddy strongest.” This is an activity which minnows in political parties can use to ingratiate themselves with their senior party leaders who either are uninformed or pre-occupied with far more serious issue. Trending neither establishes nor delivers anything. At most it gets the bearer of such tiding to the seniors a shabaash and a perfunctory pat on the back.  

#Hashtag War

Hashtags are created for a specific purpose or an event, which enable the creator to impart a distinct identity to the event on Twitter and also carry our post event analysis. #Pappu or #Pappucii both is specific to a person and event cannot be hijacked by other for reverse targeting. While #Feku is generic this was hijacked and employed to target the creator. Congress Cyber Coolies appropriately called as e-NREGA by netizens are persisting with this, due lack of creativity to generate a specific Hashtag for their obvious target. 

Hashtag wars on twitter are like the show “Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain” This is another illusion that Congress needs urgently, to infuse hope into its cadre which is totally demoralized by what is unfolding before their eyes. No antidote to that one man who seems to be demolishing Congress bit by bit everyday.

Congress has already obtained a favorable verdict for one such battle from the pliable and equally ignorant main stream English media #Pappucii Vs #Feku where it was evident that #Feku had been used against the creator in higher proportion than against the intended target. NDTV did start a new series Truth Vs Hype honestly NDTV itself is a hype.

The next episode of this Hashtag war unfolded on the 11th Aug when Mr. Modi was addressing a rally in Hyderabad. Congress pumped in money to create fake accounts and tweet #FekuExpress as it’s #FekuonSale had been thwarted in pre-infancy stage.
   
Result of this latest war is clear #Fekuexpress Vs #NaMoInHyd 1:3 is the Tweet ratio. However using the resources at it’s disposal relics of Congress managed to obtain a fake victory which they can now carry as proof to their leaders and boast of good work done.
Twitter is a democratic platform and democracy congress loathes. Twitter offers freedom of speech, congress believes it’s a divine right accorded through the  royal decree from Nehru-Gandhi parivar (clan). It’s immune to manipulation and subversion, congress firmly believes there is nothing that it can’t manipulate and subvert.


Coercion and money power can and will be employed liberally to satiate the appetite of the clan for dominating Twitter.

Idiom "All is fair in love and war" reconstructed by media

“All is fair in love and war.” This is how we know the idiom! A new dimension has been added by the mainstream English media, expanded version reads as “All is fair in love, war and politics.”

"The starlight is not there for Modi " By Mr.Pankaj Vohra in Hindustan Times of 19th Sept 2010 is the motivating factor for this latest blog.


Undoubtedly, Congress, RJD, LJP and the friendly mainstream English media would want to present us a picture favorable to their formulations. Yet if Bihar has been reclaimed from the Jurassic park where it had been firmly placed by RJD-Congress combine the credit must be placed at the doorsteps of NDA government.


Chinks in the NDA are not visible, need for that is urgent, so why not employ fiction and manufacture a few if not a whole lot of them.


Election time debates will move away from Secular Vs Communal if and only if the media permits it. While nobody tires of stating that India has moved on yet the shackles of this paradigm are not being allowed to be shed.


In a democratic setup more than one aspirant for the top job does not amount to anarchy or dissensions within the party or a coalition. Yes it may seem so to all those who are followers of Congress party and its peculiar brand of democracy.


Pyramid is narrowest at the top and only a select few reach the pinnacle. It is a puerile argument that minority support for Bihar government is due to Mr. Nitish Kumar, he is not a one man army, BJP does have its ministers in that government and are holding portfolios of significance unless ofcourse in your opinion that is unimportant.


Bihar and Gujarat are the 2 best performing states of this country among many others, incidentally all of these have BJP or NDA Governments in place, benefits of the development are not being regulated in a manner that the effects are limited to any particular community; recent result of by elections in Gujarat is a testimony to that. Ayub Chauhan, 35, is one of the Muslim voters of Kathlal constituency in Central Gujarat who voted for the BJP. It's for the first time BJP won the Assembly constituency and Chauhan does not want to be left out of Gujarat's development story being scripted by Modi."We thought it's our Congress and kept voting for it. But the BJP is in Gujarat and everybody is benefiting. We thought why we should be left out," said Ayub Chauhan. This is as reported by CNNIBN Modi on a high after winning in Cong bastion


Why the media wishes to stay in its time warp of 2002 events? Mainstream English media is not the sole opinion maker in this country, vernacular press can be ignored at your own peril; besides word of mouth is far more effective, with a deeper reach and longer duration. Can it be denied that people of these 2 states are moving for employment from one to the other, will not NDA highlight its achievement with statistical data?

2014 is fair distance away, performance of all the aspirant over the next 3 years or so will determine who would get to the coveted office of the Prime Minister.

Somehow the irony of this article is the severe indictment of UPA. Deficiency in legitimacy of the incumbent UPA and Prime Minister is so stark that could not help noticing it “ As per the Westminster model, which we follow, the leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj should be treated as the shadow prime minister.”

Will the English Media yield to public pressure?

Mr.Mehta, is hallucinating Mr.Modi hates media, here we go again cause and effect Newton’s law is being forwarded by Mr. Vinod Mehta, No; this is not the correct reading of what Mr.Mehta is saying? There is a genuine complaint that Mr.Modi has not engaged or has been drawn into a slugfest with the media. Why should he? Does he have any chinks that need to be covered, have not been able to detect, he is not run of the mill corrupt inefficient yet another Chief Minister in India, who needs the media. Words are needed where action is weak or fails. Request Mr.Mehta for once to speak as a common Indian citizen without the accompanying halo of a journalist, which is the worst abuse today in India. The only perspective that individuals masquerading as journalists have is free drinks and food.


It is the guilt conscience that makes the offender perceive that he is wanted by the law, all the misplaced perception that you have, ostensibly which Mr.Modi exhibits towards the media are a manifestation of your conscience. Is it not a fact that as head of Gujarat state he must be impartial and also seen to be so, can we with any degree of conviction say the same for our mainstream English Media. The past 8 years it is the media which has been providing us with our daily fix of venomous diatribe which would put the deadliest Cobra, Viper and even the Boa constrictor to shame.


The decoding we take it at face value since it is coming from a very senior “Journalist”

02nd of April 2010 is indeed a watershed day for India not just the Congress, many in the print and electronic media have issued confessional statement on voluntary basis. Thank you we have noted the contents and the trend continues. Media is frustrated with its inability to carry out the execution after having condemned him in the Kangaroo court establish by Congress.


“Whether Modi was or was not the mastermind of the “genocide”,
“mass murder”, “carnage” has, in a sense, become a side-issue. What we have on display is a catch-me-if-you-can game and Byzantine legalese. Even after his 10-hour questioning by the SIT, he appears only marginally disadvantaged. Let me quickly add that I am totally with the sainted Teesta Setalvad, Rajdeep Sardesai, Arnab Goswami (although I am not entirely sure which side he is on!), Barkha Dutt and Siddharth Varadarajan, but at this moment Mr Modi seems to have the better of the hacks.”


Is this the confirmation that it is all about politics; the quest for justice is a convenient smoke screen. The idiom of US vs THEM being played out in full public glare with blatant disregards for professional ethics, the head must be delivered on a platter to the paymasters.


Permit me as a mango man (Aam Adami) of this country to state that we refuse to be converted into brain dead zombies. Which the individuals named by you have been attempting for the past 8 years. Alcoholics can seek refuge and assistance of the alcoholic anonymous. Unfortunately we have not been able to establish a separate institution for Modi fixated addicts.

The convoluted statements and eye witness accounts are just about beginning to unravel under their own weight; this is one such link

http://indiatoday.in…ghts.html?complete=1

your covert admiration for Modi may soon translate into a very overt act. The affect of 2 blogs and placing in public domain, the speech of Feb 2002 in the Gujarat Assembly, along with the appeals for calm made on doordarshan seem to have had the desired effect in 2010 if not in 2002. Has the Lion begun to roar again? Shall wait to see who is the last man standing in this sordid saga?


Finally if justice is what you seek, which is doubtful, then we would need to be convinced of your impartiality, the 26years long marathon being run to avoid the clutchs of law by Sajjan Kumar, Jagdish Tytler and Congress party must receive the undiluted attention that has been pointedly avoided by your saints and evangelists.

“FACE THE NATION” it is your turn.

This is in response to “Face the nation” by Rajdeep Sardesai 01st April 2010

Confession of a neo mullah of secularism! This is the day of confessions and damage control. All publications are carrying stories and articles backtracking from the rabid communalism that they have been practicing in the garb of secularism. What is the reason? That we are witness to this change of heart!

1. Mr. Modi’s appearance before SIT, breaking his silence after 8 long years.
2. Blog by Mr. Modi, his speech in the Gujarat assembly in Feb 2002 and all the appeals made by him on DoorDarshan which are now in public domain. The media had not mentioned this fact for last 8 years.
3. Refusal by Mr. Bachchan to join issue with congress and his maintaining a dignified silence in the face of extreme uncalled for provocation.
4. Realisation by the Congress that in the event of any SIT being established for past or future misdeeds it would not be able to avoid appearing before it.
5. Public outrage at the conduct of the Congress Party and mainstream English Media.

Manish Tiwari will no longer froth at the mouth on mere mentioning the names Bachchan or Modi. The public at large has delivered its message loud and clear pygmies cannot take on the colossus’ Bachchan and Modi. Watching news on TV might just have turned the corner, may become pleasurable once again. News might not get distorted into propaganda for a political party and its first family.

Now let us examine this self confessed secularist who has been preaching communalism for past 8 years, without facts or basis, he and his ilk have polarized the society with such speed and to an extreme that even most accomplished communalist has been wonderstruck and rendered unemployed.

Rajdeep Sardesai the people of this country including me want justice for 2002, just as we want justice for 1984,1993 and many other gory events before and after 2002 that make our stomachs churn. Your singular focus and freezing of Gujarat in a time machine dated 28th Feb 2002 is unacceptable. The outcry from the public is for even handed treatment, which you twisted to make it appear as pro or anti Modi. We are also witness to the 26years marathon being run by Sajjan Kumar, Jagdish Tytler and the Congress party to somehow avoid the clutches of the law. The 3000 innocent Indians who were killed on the streets of Delhi are entitled to justice and the media shall have to get equally active on that. Gujarat of 2002 has to be taken out of that deep freezer where you and other self confessed guardian of secularism have placed it. You not just targeted a state in India, a duly elected head of the State of Gujarat; you insulted the people of India who raised their voices against your biased and motivated reporting. Your lack of ethics in the vocation of your choice, partisan treatment, arrogance and inability to take onboard different viewpoints resulted in dropping of rating for your news channel. Today you stand discredited before the Indian public. Comparing your channel to BBC will not bestow any honor or respect.

You still have much more distance to travel, it is going to be a very hard lesson for you and your channel, this lesson will have to be learnt, the bitter pill will have to be swallowed or you shall be permanently rendered irrelevant in the industry of your choice. For far too long you have spewed venom at individuals not deserving this treatment. The victim hood that you allude to is a figment of your imagination. The 4th pillar of Indian democracy has been corrupted! Fresh steel needs to be infused so that they ensure that the governments perform in this country. Watch dogs of democracy cannot be transformed into pet poodles of the political party in power. Kangroo courts established by the congress cannot be manned by their publicists who masquerade as Media houses.

Rule of law shall prevail in this country! The final judgment shall be delivered by the duly constituted courts and not by another political party or the motivated media. Awards you may gather, nominations you may get, respectability as a professional you will have to earn, for that cannot be bestowed by the political party of your choice. In the final analysis it is us the public who will deliver the verdict on the credibility of the publication or the TV channel. Your hour of reckoning is here very apt heading “FACE THE NATION” it is your turn.

Day of confessions and damage control by Congress and the Media

This is in response to “It’s a two-way street” by Anil Dharkar 01st April Hindustan Times.

Two articles on the same day! This is a shift in tack from the Congress friendly media. Having reaped the whirlpool by sowing the winds!

The needless attack on the Bachchans, the over the top and shrill reporting on Modi's appearance or lack of it on the 21st March, left the media, the Congress party red faced and bloodied nose. The netizens made their emotions known to all and sundry what was acceptable and conversely what was deplorable and repugnant to them.

A hasty retreat! An equally pathetic attempt, at rehabilitating their political paymaster by Hindustan Times. Vir Sanghvi, Pankaj Vohra and Vinod Sharma have lost their credibilty in the eyes of the public, in comes Anil Dharkar and Rajdeep Sardesai. Sorry Mr Dharkar you are the looser in this attempt.

Sonia Gandhi is nothing more than the glue that binds the Congress party. You demean Indians by placing all the credit at her feet. "She did so from a sense of duty to save the Congress from the oblivion it was hurtling to under the ‘leadership’ of the likes of Sitaram Kesri and Arjun Singh, Sharad Pawar and N.D. Tiwari." this party without this glue will fragment into pieces that we will find difficult to count.

“The poor of India weren’t put off by her foreign identity because they saw that she had embraced an Indian one: in clothes, in deportment, in language and in family values.” Were sold a dummy by the congress friendly media the misuse of the name “Gandhi” As always fiction of a better tomorrow made it possible to win elections, the hard facts are before the poor of this nation, who have multiplied under the Congress Governments, the poor will deal the telling blow in the near future.

Please do ponder if People of Indian Origin living overseas crave and work for a better India and we very proudly claim that India lives in their hearts. Why is it not acceptable that the country of origin of the Congress president lives in that heart, why should we accept, that this is an exception to the same logic and rule. This is where the educated made the distinction and that is why the acceptance was not and is still not forthcoming.

The question that you must answer to all of us "Are we going to lead a life of perpetual indebtedness to the Nehru Clan?" Have we not already paid a heavy price for allowing this family to be the sole arbiters of the destiny of our country? Is Indian freedom struggle only about Nehru? Were there no other persons who sacrificed or participated in the struggle for attaining freedom? Lastly the most important question that we all must ask ourselves for how long will we hand out the top job of this country to this clan on compassionate grounds. Ignoring more deserving, and meritorious individuals! Congress is nothing but a family run enterprise similar to the regional parties where the top job is always held by it promoter. The only difference is that it is playing at the national level as against other being mostly restricted to their states.

SIT Summons for Narendra Modi, Media goes hyper.

I am sure, there must be many in their mid 50’s who witnessed the mayhem, that was unleashed on the street of Delhi in 1984 where 3000 innocent Sikhs were killed in an orgy of death. The struggle to come to terms with the memory of those 3 days. Analogy of “Earth trembling because a big tree had fallen” as justification. The subversion of judicial system for the last 26years, we have not seen any vociferous support from the media for the victims, or the demand to bring to book the culprits responsible for the genocide, the first and only reported case in India. Instead this incident is being reported as Anti Sikh riots. Just two days ago we were witness to Mr.Sajjan Kumar walking out of the court in Delhi with bail having been granted to him in the 1984 cases. Periodically reports appear in the media and nothing more. The other event that has not received the due coverage is the ethnic cleansing of the Kashmir Valley, which has resulted in the Kashmiri Pandits becoming refugees in their own country. The Indian media has studiously avoided reporting on this issue. Why is it that these two events have not caught the imagination of the media? Were these Indians any lesser or is it that the perpetrators of crimes were not Indians? No most definitely not, the alleged accused are Indians, the Indian state has been a silent spectator if not a covert partner in these crimes.

The question that needs to be addressed is why has the media stayed silent and apathetic to the victims in these two cases? Were the alleged accused not known to the media? Is it a case of selectivity or oversight? Did these cases not reflect the Majority vs Minority aspect? Were these acts committed by communal forces or were these the acts of the secularists? Will justice be delivered in these two cases?

Indian history is replete with accounts of communal riots, since 1947 we have seen unprecedented numbers, majority of these horrendous events have unfolded when the government at the helm of affairs has been from Congress, yet none has received the attention from the media as 2002 Gujarat incident. Even as I write today, there are reports of communal violence in the city of Bareilly. State of Maharastra has witnessed 1 communal riot every 20days over the last 5 years yet there is no sustained campaign against the Chief Minister of the State. If one was to go by the media reports, then other incidents just did not happen. The State of Gujarat seems to have been frozen in 2002, elections and the mandate of the people of Gujarat for Narendra Modi is of little or no consequence.

Mr.Narendra Modi is not just accused of culpability and/or complicity. He has been judged and sentenced by the Indian media. This has been going on since 2002, now it is more than 8 years yet there is no let up by the media, mention the name Modi and the media goes into hyper mode.

CNNIBN continues it relentless tirade, does this channel have any concrete evidence of any crime committed by this individual? Is it an case of extreme prejudice? Why?

NDTV has scheduled yet another exclusive program on 14th instant “Godhra haunts Modi again” Does this channel have any concrete evidence of crimes committed by this individual? Explicit visceral hatred, for a democratically elected, Chief Minister of the State of Gujarat! The question is why?

Indian Express “Demanding answers” what are the reasons for this? Mr. Vir Singhivi has called this man a mass murderer why? Mr.Vinod Sharma of Hindustan Time does not miss an opportunity to take a dig at BJP.

Congress unable to unseat him thru free and fair elections, targets the man at every occasion without fail, overlooking the fact that their own record is worse than what they are accusing Mr. Modi.

Gujarat riots of 2002 are often referred to as Genocide! This is not the true description of the incident. Loss of life was not limited to any one religious community. Why is the media calling the killing of Sikhs in 1984 as “Anti Sikh Riots”? We do not have any record of any anti…… riots in India. What does the media wants, for and from Mr. Narendra Modi. Why this persistence? What are the basis for this sustained demonizing and vilification? Why has the media not placed the evidence in public domain, if indeed evidence is there to support this campaign of theirs? What is it that the Chief Minister of Gujarat did or did not do in 2002?

Why has the State of Gujarat not received the due coverage in the mainstream media in India despite the progress that it has made in the past 8 years! We are fed a regular diet of negative reports about Gujarat. Why? The comments made by Congress and the media about Mr. A. Bachchan on his consenting to promote tourism in the state of Gujarat. Has Gujarat seceded from the Union of India?

This is the single most glaring case of double standards by our media.

These self appointed, secular conscience keepers of India! Do not miss an opportunity to denigrate Mr. Narendra Modi, the reach of the electronic media is tremendous, they have a direct access to our homes 24 X 7, the uninterrupted replay of the events leaves an indelible mark on the young impressionable mind, the society is sharply polarized along, religious, and other basis. The misconceptions with the masses has left very little space for tolerance, any divergence of view with the above media houses or personalities get one labeled as a communalist. These votaries of secularism by their words and actions have put to shame, the most rabid communal individual in our country! The distinction between these self proclaimed secularist and their constant targets “The Communalists” is non existent. Both are striving hard to achieve the common objective of dividing the society permanently.

Incase Mr. Narendra Modi is guilty! The man must be punished for his crimes. What is it that Modi needs to be punished for? Direct participation in mass murder, as an instigator or is it that he did not prevent the event from happening?

Will the media answer the above question!

If we compute the worst 10 or 20 riots of India since independence, where does Gujarat 2002 fit in?   via @KiranKS
