Celebrations transcend religions - so should the sops and subsidies

It is christmas and new year time. The time of the year when celebrations galore. As a matter of fact the whole country wears a festive look.....guess i must say the whole universe. Even though in this country christians are grouped under minority the celebrations reach out to one and all. It is truly one of those mega events which is also a time for major marketing and selling activities ala diwali. So is this country secular? Has the celebrations transcended religions...yeah it has.

But unfortunately the politicians are stuck to the rhetoric of minority sops to attract - or so they think the vote bank. If there is someone who delivers on the development front they are bound to make it to the post against all odds. While the congress is probably realising it albeit slowly and so are other parties it seems it takes a dictator like Narendra Modi to prove this point.

I agree most of us think he is a killer....maybe even what sonia gandhi said in her speech is true....but the fact is gujurat is the best infrastructure in the country...the roads are world class the industries are doing well the investments are flowing - eventhough the western world wont let him visit them to get investments....he has proved he doesnt need to go on foriegn visits the money flows. Why ?

Because he is made sure the State Machinery runs...and removed corruption. And if one thing that made me sit up and think here is a leader with a difference and Man at it...is when he had the guts to come out of chief ministers meeting and question the Prime Minister on providing sops to religious minority in the name of poverty alliviation. Why? Are the poor of hindus inferior to those of christians...or the definition varies with religion?

It is time the congress party realises this country has come a long way since the mother in law ruled this country. What worked for her then may not work for the daughter in law!!!!!!!
