Narendra Modi’s interesting quotes

"Government has only one religion - India first! Government has one holy book - the Constitution. The Government must be immersed in only one Bhakti- Bharat Bhakti! The Government’s only strength is Jan Shakti! Government’s only ritual is the well being of the 125 crore Indians! The only code of conduct of the Government should be ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas!"

"For you I am neither the PM or CM. Our bond is a bond of affection and I am your sevak."

"Secularism is not only in our constitution but also in our veins. We worship Mother Nature too. We believe that the world is our family."

"A strong government is where the will of the people matters, where the voice of the people is heard and where the dreams of the people are fulfilled."

"Modi winning or winning is not important. I can go home tomorrow & open a tea stall but the nation must not suffer."

"India is a nation that thinks about everyone. Using the sword we have never attacked other cultures. Such expansionist mindset is not in our blood."

"Nation is one. We will not work for Hindus or Muslims, we will work for the people of India."

"Development is the solution to all problems. All other types of caste, communal and dynasty politics will not do good."

"We have not come into politics with ‘Badle ki Bhavna’ but we have come with ‘Badlav Ki Bhavna’."

"From experience I can say that we can make our nation corruption free. Only promises won’t help…Irade Nek Hone Chahiye."

'Modi's leadership style best for India'

MUMBAI: When the PMO said Narendra Modi will have a final say on policy matters, it clearly set the tone for a centralized structure of operation in the new government. Some companies decentralize their structures to cut down on bureaucracy and enhance creativity. However, given the context of the Indian economy and Modi's personal style of functioning, management gurus TOI spoke to believe a centralized structure of governance would work best for India. 

In a centralized structure, a leader has a strong control over decision making, while in a decentralized structure, managers down the hierarchy are empowered to take decisions. In larger multinationals, the operations are generally decentralized across geographies. "What India needs now, more than ever, is centralized decision making in setting fiscal, monetary, and regulatory policies but decentralized decision making with regard to creating new businesses and getting the economy going," said Vijay Govindarajan, Coxe Distinguished Professor at Tuck, Dartmouth. 

But there is a difference. Experts are hopeful the Modi government would not micro-manage all economic activities. Prior to 1990, India followed centralization to a fault where the government was running steel mills and power plants. "The government should do what is supposed to do - govern and let the Indians do what they know how to do well — fuel entrepreneurship," said Govindarajan. 

The previous government, which followed a decentralized structure, was criticized for its policy paralysis. There are specific reasons why companies adopt either of the two structures. "Whether it is a centralized structure or decentralized, one cannot make a virtue out of the two management styles. Both have their value and relevance depending on two things; one, the context in which the leader operates, which includes the task at hand (which in corporate sector is described as strategy) and the ecosystem; and the second, the personal style of the leader," said Santrupt Misra, director, HR, Aditya Birla Group. 

The context in India's case is certainly challenging. As for the personal style of the leader, Govindarajan said Modi's leadership style is perfect for the times and India needs a strong leader "who is not afraid of making the tough decisions". 

PM Modi's 10-point agenda of the government

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has got his ministers working and has issued them guidelines and priorities. Modi, who addressed his second Cabinet meet in the past 48 hours, has listed down a 10-point priority list for his government.

Sources say that Modi has urged ministers to build up confidence in bureaucracy so that they are not afraid of the consequences. Modi also told them that innovative ideas are welcome and bureaucrats should be given the freedom to do their work.

"The PM wants all ministers to have their own time-table on the priorities in each ministry for the first 100 days," said Parliamentary Affairs Minister after the Cabinet meet on Thursday. "The PM said states should be given priority and letters from the states should be responded to," he added.

Following are the 10 priorities that Modi has listed for his government according to sources:

Narendra Modi vows to put corrupt politicians behind bars, says won't spare even BJP leaders

HARDOI (UP): Narendra Modi on Monday vowed to cleanse the political system and Parliament from criminal elements if he comes to power and said his first job will be to set up a panel to probe pending criminal cases against the new MPs. 

The BJP prime ministerial candidate said he will ensure that all offenders are sent to jail after asking the Supreme Court to hear the cases against them expeditiously. 

Modi's promise to crack down on MPs with criminal antecedents across party lines in a bid to decriminalise politics and Parliament came at a poll rally here. 

"I have decided that when a new government is formed after May 16, I will set up a committee to find out what cases are pending against whom. (Lok Sabha) candidates submit in their form during filing nominations the details of cases against them. I will not discriminate in it. I will not spare even the BJP and NDA candidates. 

"I will ask the Supreme Court to hear the cases fast. Those, who have committed crime will go to jail and their seats will go to candidates with clean image. No accused will dare to fight polls. Who says that this cleansing cannot happen? I have come to cleanse politics. It is necessary to free Indian democracy from criminalisation," he said. 

Modi also stepped up his attack on SP, BSP and Congress, saying the "power game by the clan of three parties" is responsible for the poor plight of UP and the nation even as he ridiculed Rahul Gandhi for visiting homes of the poor like tourists who visit Taj Mahal. 

Playing up his tea-vendor image, the Gujarat chief minister also sought to contrast it with those "born with a silver spoon in their mouth" and made an oblique reference to his OBC origin as he reached out to voters in the Hindi heartland. 

"While the country has been destroyed by the governments of mother and son, Uttar Pradesh has been destroyed by a father-son government. On one hand there is a father-son duo while on the other hand is Behenji (Mayawati)...they waste their whole tenure of five years in teaching a lesson to each other. 

"And mother and son (Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi) simply add fuel to the fire, inflame it. This clan of SP, BSP and Congress is thriving here in this manner. Enough of this game of power has continued. Now give me a chance to serve you," Modi said. 

Targeting both Congress and SP for practising dynastic politics and nepotism, Modi was quite acerbic in his criticism of Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra. 

"For them all that matters is dynasty and nepotism. And now even even the extended family is being covered. They are those, who are not ready to recognize the power of the community beyond their family members. 

"These people, who think that that only their sons and daughters will do something and are concerned only with them or their uncle-aunt and insulting the future of Uttar Pradesh," he said. 

Mocking Rahul over his visits to the homes of the poor and Dalits, Modi said that he goes to the poor to understand how does a poor person look as he has not seen poverty like someone, who has not seen Taj Mahal visits Agra to see it. 

"In the same fashion, Rahul Bhaiya visits here to see the poor. These people who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth want to see poverty. They wonder whether the poor have two legs, two hands, does the poor also have a voice. These people go on poverty tourism," he said. 

Alleging that poverty is a "tourist destination" for Gandhi, Modi said, "Whenever he goes for this, he is accompanied by a crew of television cameras. He picks up a child in his lap for a good snap and immediately after the photo session is over, the child is put back on the ground." 

Seeking to contrast it with his own "poor" childhood, the BJP's PM pick made an attempt to hardsell his tea-vendor image, saying, "I am born in poverty. I know how it feels during a cold winter night. I remember people used to slap me on my face, whenever the tea served by me used to be cold. The scars still remain." 

Hitting out at those who "mock" his childhood and poverty, the Gujarat chief minister said, "I have no regrets that I was born in a poor or backward family. I feel sad when leaders of SP, BSP and Congress make mockery of it and say whether a tea vendor can run the country. This shows the mentality of these leaders. They have become so haughty that they mock poverty. This does not concern Modi. 

"What is under question is the mentality of these leaders, who mock my poverty, my childhood every now and then. They should hear it out. I have sold tea and am proud of it. I have not done anything like selling the nation".

NDA’s economic policy to focus on job creation: Narendra Modi

Erode (Tamil Nadu), April 17: BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi Thursday hit out at a Congress woman parliamentarian for stalling infrastructural projects in Tamil Nadu, and promised an economic policy that would provide jobs to the youth.

Addressing an election rally in this town known for its textiles and turmeric, around 400 km from Chennai, the Bharatiya Janata Party leader said: “The economy would be reoriented with job creation at the centre.”

He said that after agriculture it was the textile sector that can provide a large number of jobs and it should be developed with the right kind of infrastructure.

Stating that the BJP in its manifesto has promised development of the handloom sector, the Gujarat chief minister accued the central government of following an economic policy that took away jobs from the youths while investors set up units in China and other countries.

He said the general election was special as people would vote a government that works and also for a decisive and accountable prime minister who has a voice of his own within the government.

Modi, who was on a two-day tour of Tamil Nadu from Wednesday, spoke about the power shortage in the state and said that in Gujarat, load-shedding was a thing of the past.

Modi said a woman Rajya Sabha member of the Congress from Tamil Nadu was responsible for delaying several infrastructure projects in the country.

The nation was told that the projects were held up for green reasons.

Infrastructure projects were stalled and “Jayantiji tax” was levied on the pretext of environment, he said, referring to former union minister Jayanthi Natarajan.

Wooing first-time voters and the youths in the age group of 18-28, the BJP leader asked them not to waste five years of their lives by not voting for candidates of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

He said the NDA will not only change the face of the country but also that of Tamil Nadu.

గుజరాత్ రాష్ట్రంలో జరిగిన గోద్రా అల్లర్లపై తానెన్నడూ మౌనంగా ఉండలేదని బీజేపీ ప్రధాని అభ్యర్థి, గుజరాత్ రాష్ట్ర ముఖ్యమంత్రి నరేంద్ర మోడీ స్పష్టం చేశారు. అలాగే, ఈ అల్లర్లకు సంబంధించి క్షమాపణ చెప్పే ప్రసక్తే లేదని ఆయన తేల్చి చెప్పారు. 

బుధవారం ఒక వార్తాసంస్థకు ప్రత్యేక ఇంటర్వ్యూ ఇచ్చారు. ఇందులో తన మనస్సులోని ఆవేదనను, అక్రోశాన్ని వెళ్ళగక్కారు. అలర్లపై క్షమాపణ చెప్పాలనే వాదనను తోసిపుచ్చారు. తప్పు చేసి క్షమాపణ చెప్పినంత మాత్రాన ఒరిగేదేమిటని ప్రశ్నించారు. 

అంతేకాకుండా తనపై చాలామంది చాలా ఆరోపణలు చేస్తున్నారు. వాటిలో ఇసుమంత నిజమున్నా తనను నడివీధిలో, నాలుగు రోడ్ల కూడలిలో ఉరితీయండి. మరో వందేళ్లపాటు ఇంకెవ్వరూ అలాంటి తప్పు చేసేందుకు సాహసించకూడదు... అంత కఠినమైన శిక్ష విధించండి అంటూ ఆక్రోశించారు.

No 'Dhoom 3' this time: Narendra Modi taunts Rahul, Sonia Gandhi

Barmer, Rajasthan: In a jibe at Rahul Gandhi's 'Dhoom' remark while attacking the BJP at an election rally last month,Narendra Modi today said the Congress vice president remembered the movie "because of a motorcycle ride he had with a history-sheeter."

"He kept then chief minister Ashok Gehlot in the dark and reached Gopalgarh where he rode pillion on a motorcycle, which was a stolen bike, with a history-sheeter," Mr Modi said at a rally in Barmer, Rajasthan, on Saturday.

"In Dhoom 3, father and son do all the things and in the country, mother and son (Sonia and Rahul) play games. The country has seen their two Dhooms but Dhoom-3 sequel (of mother and son) is not going to happen now," Mr Modi said.

Reacting to the Gujarat Chief Minister's remark, Mr Gandhi said in Amethi, "What can I say on such language? This is the kind of language he uses, we don't use such words. "

At a rally in Ghaziabad on March 29, Mr Gandhi had said that the 'India Shining' balloon created by BJP in 2004 has burst twice and this time too it will meet the same fate.

Giving the example of Hindi movie 'Dhoom', Mr Gandhi said, "Now they have come out with a new film - Gujarat Model. This is the third balloon and the elections are approaching. You (people) have the power... your fingers will press the button... and the balloon will burst again," he had said.

Meanwhile, Mr Modi at the rally today in Barmer, also accused the Congress of "working overtime" through CBI and "agents" to send him to jail.

The Barmer constituency has generated a lot of interest as expelled BJP leader Jaswant Singh is contesting from here as an Independent. Sonaram was a former Congress MLA before he joined the BJP. 

Exuding confidence that the BJP would win all the 25 constituencies in Rajasthan, Mr Modi said Congress would not be able to touch double figure in any of the states and would not be able to win even a single seat in some states including Rajasthan.

A Pakistan where people want Narendra Modi as PM

It's true. People of this Pakistan want Narendra Modi to become prime minister of India.

More than 250 residents, including over 100 voters of a village called "Pakistan" in Bihar's Purnea district, are set to vote for the BJP to help Modi to fulfil his dream. "We want Narendra Modi to become PM," said Hira Hembrum, a middle aged villager. Hembrum's view was supported by most of the villagers who are living in abject poverty and without basic amenities.

Pakistan is the name of a village in Singhiya panchayat, Srinagar block, about 30 km from Purnea town, the district headquarters. "People in Pakistan are keen to vote for BJP to see Modi as PM," Haldu Murmu, another villager of Pakistan in Purnea, about 350 km from the state capital," was quoted as saying in local media.

What is interesting is that there is not one Muslim family in the village, which comprises mostly Santhal tribal households. There also is not one mosque in this Pakistan. Murmu said they want to vote Modi to counter neighbouring country Pakistan's bid to disrupt peace. "Only Modi can do it," he said.

Purnea goes to polls April 24. According to a police official, government documents record the name of the village as Pakistan.

So how did the village get its name?

Elders in the village recall that the village was named soon after India's partition in 1947.

"Many Muslims who earlier lived here chose to leave for East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), when the country was partitioned. We decided then that the village could be named in their memory," one elderly villager said. Pakistan village is poor and illiterate. The literacy rate in Purnea district is just 31.51 percent. There is hardly a literate person in Pakistan village, where proper roads, a school or a hospital is hard to come by. However, anti-Pakistan sentiment dominate the village.

Murmu recalled that after 26/11, when 166 people were killed by Pakistani terrorists in Mumbai, the villagers had even considered changing the name of their village. "When Ajmal Kasab was hanged to death two years ago, villagers celebrated by distributing sweets, singing folk songs and dancing," Murmu said.

In 2012, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar informed a visiting Pakistani delegation that there was a village named after their country in the state. The surprised delegates told Nitish Kumar that they had never heard of the village.

The chief minister showed the map of Pakistan village to the Pakistani delegates and explained that when all the Muslims of the village, then in Islampur district of Bengal, had migrated to East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), the villagers left behind decided to name a village in memory of those who left.

Prior to the the States Reorganisation Act of 1956, Purnea too was part of Islampur, which now lies in the state of West Bengal. The Muslims who left the village for East Pakistan had handed over their property to Hindus in neighbouring areas.

BJP releases chargesheet against UPA’s decade of decay

Denouncing UPA Government as a ‘failure’ on all fronts, BJP on Friday released chargesheet over misgovernance of Congress and slammed Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi of being equally guilty of all ills by exercising authority without responsibility. The chargesheet highlighted failures and various scams of the present UPA Government.

The party picked holes in the Government’s economic policies that brought destruction, its policy on defence and national security, foreign policy and ‘neglect’ of North-East, besides ‘undermining’ of institutions including “compromising the dignity and integrity” of the office of Prime Minister.

Nation will not tolerate corrupt Congress anymore: Modi

“This Government is a failure on all fronts. The legacy of UPA for a great country like India is a suffering India, insecure India, distressed India, depressed India and an India whose image stands tainted because of the shameless saga of scams and corruption,” BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad.

This Government will be remembered as the most corrupt Government in Independent India, he claimed after releasing the “chargesheet”.

Targeting the Congress leadership, Prasad said, “The BJP’s first charge is Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are equally guilty of all the ills in India along with Manmohan Singh, because they wanted to exercise authority without accountability.”

Congress is synonymous with corruption

He said that the Congress leadership of a “deliberate, conscious devaluation” of the office of Prime Minister by Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi where Manmohan Singh acted more like a CEO of a Board where they had controlling interest.

The BJP ‘chargesheet’ concludes by saying, “The Congress-led UPA Government has indeed been a disaster for this country. It has only left a legacy of suffering, agony, disappointment and hopelessness for the people of India. Its misdeeds in various fields have shaken the very foundation of the country.”

Congress is synonymous with corruption

In the backdrop of a series of big ticket scams hitting the nation hard, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is waxing eloquent on matters of corruption.

While addressing the annual conference of the CBI and state anti-corruption agencies, the PM maintained that his Government is doing “everything possible” to ensure “probity”, “transparency” and “accountability”.

One can’t help thinking of the Prime Minister’s mounting number of platitudes regarding corruption as the devil preaching the  scripture. This came at a time when the Congress party and the UPA Government it leads are both neck-deep in corruption.

The most recent of the cases concerns Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi. Vadra has allegedly turned an initial amount of just Rs 50 lakh into a whopping Rs 300 crores in three years by means of inappropriate business transactions with realty giant DLF. In exchange, DLF reportedly received favours from Congress-led Governments in Haryana, Rajasthan and Delhi.

But instead of ordering an investigation into the murky dealings, the Government is coming to the defence of Vadra. In fact, Finance Minister P Chidambaram clearly ruled out any probe into the issue while at the same time seeming to suggest that the Gandhi dynasty son-in-law was above the law!

Earlier in the month, the Government openly evaded questions on the expenditure incurred on Sonia Gandhi’s foreign trips. This was after after media reports suggested that a whopping Rs 1,880 crore had been spent from the public exchequer. Such is the nature of the Government’s efforts to ensure probity in public life. But that is not the end of this sad story.

A series of scams ranging from sectors like Coal mining to Power to Civil Aviation to 2G Spectrum to the  Commonwealth Games, and most recently a scam called Steelgate — add to an estimated loss of Rs 7,46,000 crore to the national exchequer. Each of the scams show a clearly visible imprint of the ruling Congress Government.

Apart from scams, the Congress-led UPA has other achievements to boast of as well. If one is to go by what Julian Paul Assange, editor of the whistleblower website Wikileaks has to say, India is the main source of black money.

The Congress-led Government never seems to show any interest in bringing back black money stashed away in overseas tax havens. Rather, it chooses to hide behind loopholes in international agreements to protect black money holders.

The story of the Congress and the saga of corruption in India go hand in hand. It was the Congress which spawned the culture of corruption in the country.

The nation can’t forget the Bofors gun payoff scandal which marked the beginning of corruption in India’s high places, thanks to the Congress. Later successive Congress Governments skillfully institutionalised corruption in the country. Now Congress’s corruption march has seems to have reached a whole new crescendo. It wouldn’t be wrong to conclude that rampant corruption is the most striking feature of UPA’s governance.

The Government has never dared to fight the menace of corruption. Rather it has allowed plunderers to loot the nation’s riches and then done everything in its power to shield them.

Considering Congress’s role in breeding corruption in the country, Prime Minister’s anti-corruption blabber seems little more than an awful joke. The Government is looking worse than ever
