MODI'S CONSTITUENCY:

An element of surprise is one of the tactics in any competition. Other parties are eagerly awaiting to know where Modi will be contesting so that they can modify their own strategy to defeat him by hook or crook, such as manipulation of voters lists, putting up a large number of candidates as independents so as to split votes, even setting up the election in such a way there could be a possibility of countermanding the election so that Modi is made to wait before assuming office. It is not easy to change the constituency once declared because it will create its own problems. If BJP is not in a hurry to declare all its candidates why others should be so anxious to satisfy their own curiosity? As far as Sushma's questions are concerned, no election has been fought by any party so far without a few bad apples in their basket. There should be some limit as to the age of proposed candidates. Let's not forget that it is a five year term and losing a midterm re-election will be an unnecessary bother. Modi will be able to win from a number of constituencies. But it has to be evaluated which will have the maximum impact. With elections being held over a period of several weeks, the constituency wherefrom Modi will be contesting should be in the early stages so that he is free to campaign during the rest of the election period. So let's not let our imagination fly and come to wrong conclusions.

BOYCOTT OF NDTV

^{This is what happens when media compete with each other to catch eye balls. This is what creates a false euphoria or false panic when false tweets are retweeted without verification. This is what makes government very much afraid of very serious consequences because of instant reaction of masses. This is how reputations built over decades are lost forever because of mischief. Even a reputation or public apology cannot help because the same message will keep on being referred and people will start wondering how could there be smoke without fire! It is all the more damaging when such a false tweet is repeated by a national TV. It will also face consequences because one story of 'bagh aaya, bagh aaya' is sufficient for it lose its long built reputation.}

LAND AT THROWAWAY PRICE IN GUJARAT : KEJRIWAL

^{What nonsense! Of course State governments buy land from farmers and in turn sell them at subsidized price to industrialists. That is how industries are developed. They provide direct and permanent employment to thousands and many more thousands set up small scale industries, shops, etc. to provide the industries raw material and to sell their output. Giving speeches like this to innocent farmers is nothing less than cheating. The farmers are also paid a good price for the land prevalent at that time. If they invest the money they get from government in buying land elsewhere, they will be able to have more land and also some money to buy or build a house. BJP speakers should explain this in meetings and not be afraid of speaking about takeover of land from farmers.}

^{Most of the farmers will be willing to sell their land, but only at a really good price. They are angry only because middlemen deprive them of a good price. There are a number of ways land could be acquired at a correct price without any coercion.}

^{(i) Government can buy up small pieces of farm land whenever available from farmers directly by extending loans to them and rent it back to them at nominal interest, with the proviso that government will have the first right to take over the land at a later date, after offering compensation at a level that might be fixed later on or at a level so many times more than the price at which it is being bought. This will eliminate village money-lends squeezing out farmers forever. A project of this nature can be run through district agricultural co-operative banks.}

^{(ii)  Buy and hold small pieces of land and offer it in exchange to farmers who are willing to sell their land for industrialization at a reasonable price.}

^{(iii) Banning any re-sale of agricultural land within ten years of purchase except to government.}

^{(iv) Enact suitable laws to buy at an average price of nearby lands or at any price that particular piece of land would have been sold before certain period or at the price it was sold last to anyone after being held for over ten or more years.}

^{Steps such as these will dissuade middle men from cornering small pieces of land when they get advance information about new industries being set up and then selling the same land at a steep market up price after aggregating the small pieces}

^{IF EVERYONE EQUAL BEFORE LAW, SHOULD NOT EVERY LAW BE EQUAL FOR ALL?} 

^{The taste of the pudding will be in the eating. We have laws and more laws. It is at the implementation stage that corruption raises its head. Let us see how our judges at various levels, not known very much for standing up for upholding law rather than political pressure, cooperate with the SC. If they do, it will be the first step towards good governance. Will the court also please fix similar time limits for other litigation. Fundamentally it will be, I think, discriminatory to hold violation of some laws as requiring expeditious disposal as compared to other laws. As everyone is equal before law, every law should be equal for everyone.}
