Please do not make a Kashmir in the North east,Mr Prime Minister in waiting!

We should welcome that Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi condemned the recent attacks on students of the North East.But he kept silence on Armed Forces Special Power Act in attempt to harvest lotus in the excluded geography of the nation subjected to military repression and racial apartheid.


Modi opened his eye floodgates to sympathize with the killed young student in New Delhi,but he failed to express his support to Irom Sharmila.


May be,I might be wrong. I have no prejudice or pride.


I just failed to listen whether Mr Modi did say anything about Irom Sharmila`s prolonged hunger strike demanding to end the AFSPA rule in the North east.


I have doubts about the fertility potential of Hindutva despite the blooming lotus hype projected by media round the clock.


In Arunachal,his speech as the most potential prime ministerial candidate,perhaps as the next prime minister disappointed.His tone and text are exclusive in nature.


It has very serious security implications in the context of Indo Sino border dispute and in reference to non Hindu demography of the tribal mongoloid North East.


However,Narendra Modi tried his best to extend Gujarat to North East marketing  his well branded  hate campaign of high equity value provoking North Eastern sentiments.


It is very very dangerous.


It proves that the Hindutva brigade is not least concerned with the North East people and their fight against Delhi`s Military rule.


North East seems to be yet another Kashmir for the Shafron agenda which wants a complete geography without caring for either the history or the demography.It is Hindutva point of view n Kashmir reflected in Modi unilateral hate campaign in the North East.


It is blessing that the Hindutva failed to have any major impact in the North East despite its omnipresence in the largest state Assam under constant turmoil.


I am unaware of the fact whether Mr Modi did ever had any stand on NorthEast subjected to racial apartheid or military rule.


We,however,know Modi`s Sanghi policies on Kashmir.


For me, Modi seems to replicate Kashmir in the North East.


I am least concerned who would be the next prime minister as it would make no difference whatsoever as the polity is unofficially captured by bipolar Hindutva Politics with the reign always remaining in the hands of the ruling monopolistic hegemony.


Unless the system is not changed,no change is possible.


While our best of friends and activists countrywide joined Kejriwal Brigade and Mr Kejriwal has clarified that he in not against capitalism.


The total revolution seems to be aborted midway as the AAP thinks tanks have been indulged in wooing the foreign investors.


I feel quite disappointed for my respected dear friends whom I refrain to criticize as I know very well that we have to fight against the military rule, repression, displacement, destruction all round and economic ethnic cleansing just after the elections.


My wife Sabita had stopped to see TV news while Chandrashekhar was the prime minister just because of his socialist hypocricy.


I am afraid that provided Modi becomes the next prime minister we have to skip all fragments and forms of corporate media.Modi campaign has been transformed in an omnipotent hate campaign to provoke blind religious nationalism and we may not bear with.


Just go through the content and rethink about your option.


Please.


Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the ruling UPA government, saying 2014 General Elections will mark the beginning of the end of the Congress party and India will be free from its rule.


Addressing a rally in Assam's Silchar, Modi attacked the Congress and said that he has never seen an anti-incumbency wave as now. “This wave is going to become a tsunami and the Congress will not be seen in any corner of the country," the BJP leader exhorted.


As the crowds cheered, Modi said that Assam is blessed with natural resources and has everything which can make it a developed state. When the BJP leader asked the crowd who looted the state, those people assembled at the venue shouted 'Congress'.


He appealed to the people to vote for the BJP and said that there must not be any trace of Congress in Assam after the elections.


The country needs a government that is sensitive to the issues of the people of the northeastern states, said BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi Saturday.

"The country needs a government that is ready to take initiatives for their development," said Modi at a rally in Pasighat town.

He said that the state "has every potential to be world's environment capital because of the natural resources in the state".

He added: "Herbal medicine, horticulture and handicraft can make the state overcome the issues of unemployment and poverty as it is the sector which has till now has given employment to most number of people."

Attacking the Congress government in the state, he said it had done nothing towards water resource management and solar energy.

"Dynasty, nepotism, casteism will not help the state to come out of the problems the people here are undergoing," he added.

Modi said he was a firm believer in development.

"The lotus will shine in all the states and bring prosperity and progress in the state," said Modi while referring to his party's symbol.

He also said that Arunachal Pradesh was an integral part of India.

"There is no power in the world that can snatch Arunachal Pradesh from India," he said.



Modi said, “Next to Assam is Bangladesh and next to Gujarat is Pakistan. Due to Bangladesh people in Assam are troubled and due to me Pakistan is worried."


Raising the contentious issue of illegal immigrants in Assam, the Gujarat Chief Minister stressed on sending back the immigrants to the neighbouring country.


He accused the Tarun Gogoi government in state of playing vote bank politics. The Gujarat CM further said that the BJP will end the detention camps after coming to power.


Modi stressed on giving a good life to the Hindus coming from other countries. The BJP's PM candidate said, “Be it any nation, if a Hindu is troubled then there is only one place and that is India where the Hindus can come and we will not treat them the same way as they are treated elsewhere."


Modi stressed on giving proper health facilities, quality education and job opportunities to the children of tea garden workers.


If BJP comes to power the party will develop facilities for tea-traders and tea-gardens, Modi said.


Mocking Tarun Gogoi, Modi told the huge gathering that the Assam Chief Minister suffers from sleepless nights when he learns that the Gujarat CM is coming to the state for a rally.


“The CM came to Silchar few days ago and promised many things which have been not happening for years," Modi said. He asked the people not to trust the Congress.


He also accused Gogoi of being insensitive and reminded the audience that during the 2012 Assam floods Gogoi was in the US and after that he travelled to Japan.


Taking a dig at Dr Manmohan Singh, Modi said that the Prime Minister is an MP from Assam but has never done anything for the state.


The BJP leader said that the infiltrators who have come to Assam for political purposes must be sent back to where they belong.


The BJP's PM candidate said that the people from the North-east are good at sports and laid emphasis on opening a sports University in the region.


No power in world can snatch away our territory: Modi in Arunachal


Raising the poll pitch in the Northeast ahead of crucial Lok Sabha elections, Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate raked up the issue of Nido Taniam's death.


Addressing a rally in Arunchal Pradesh's Pasighat, Modi said that he has come to the state with a heavy heart as a son of this land was killed in the national capital last month.


The Gujarat Chief Minister said that he prays to the god to bless Nido's family.


In an apparent attempt to attract the northeastern voters, the BJP leader said that the blood which runs in the people of this region is the same that runs in his veins.


Raking up the 1962 war, Modi said that during the war people of Arunachal didn't come under pressure from China, and the call of 'Jai Hind' reverberates in this land.


He praised the Arunachal people for standing firm against China's repeated pressure tactic. “No power in this world can snatch away our territory,” Modi asserted.


"China should shed its expansionist policy and forge bilateral ties with India for peace, progress and prosperity of both the nations," the BJP PM candidate said.


"I swear in the name of this soil that I will never allow the state to disappear...Breakdown and to bow down," Modi said to a thunderous applause from people gathered near the mighty Siang River.


Laying emphasis on his pet slogan of development, the Gujarat Chief Minister said that he was a firm believer in development and will only focus on this and not on dynasty, nepotism and casteism.


Modi stressed on bringing development to the northeastern state and said that BJP has embraced the development model and will continue to move ahead with the same agenda..


Modi exhorted that Lotus (BJP's poll symbol) will shine in all the northeastern states and there will be prosperity and progress in the region.


In order to attract the young voters, Modi asked why the GenX is unhappy here and why they have to leave their homeland and go out in search for employment.


The BJP leader said that he was in Arunachal with the message of development and asked the people gathered in the rally, “Can we trust the Government in Delhi?”


He said that a government which is sensitive to the problems in every part of this state and listens to the people should be in power.


The BJP's PM candidate further stressed on improving the water resource management in the Northeast.

Bangladeshis troubling northeast due to wrong governance: Modi


Due to wrong governance, illeggal Bangladeshis are causing trouble for the people of the northeastern states, but due to governance in Gujarat, Pakistan has been facing problems,BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi said here Saturday.

"Due to the Bangladeshi people and incorrect governance, the people of the northeastern states are in trouble. But due to governance in Gujarat, Pakistan is now in awkward position," the Gujarat chief minister said at a 'Naba Chetana' (fresh consciousness) rally here. It was his third in the northeast on Saturday after Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh and Silchar in Assam

Praising the erstwhile Tripura kings for keeping the state in the Indian Union, the BJP leader said that composers Sachin Dev Barman and Rahul Dev Barman, who hailed from Tripura, had achieved nation glory through their works.

"The people of Gujarat voted BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) in power for three times, but the people of Tripura have been facing tremendous sufferings though they voted the Left Front many times," he added.

"Left parties always want to keep the people in backward so that they remain their followers," he added.

Criticising the possible formation of a Third Front, the BJP leader said it was always formed before the general elections but collapsed after that.

"Only the BJP's model can make the country progress. This was proved by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led government at the center," the Gujarat chief minister said adding that the agricultural growth in his state was ten percent, the highest in the country.
