Bashing modi is brain child of media and political parties who do not want India to grow and come out of problems. . Ahmedabad I am living since last 28 years. Has traveled extensively in India. Have seen lots of parts of India - not as sight seing - but as business guy.
Chandrababu naidu was made unpopular by regional media only so he lost election else he too worked for other wise pathetically poor Andhra pradesh.
In India leave aside modi and riots of Gujarat. Does any of Rimwebian knows about riots in gujarat in 1967 or around? when there was Congress government? (More people were killed during this riots than 2002 riots) 2002 riots were reactionary riots and no one can forget that fact that 52 innocent Indians - incidentlaly Hindus - were burnt alive in train. Even it wiull be interesting to note that central government report says that number of hindus and muslims killed during riots were almost same. Almost identical number of hindus as well as muslims were killed in police firing. I travel 25 kms to go to my work every day passing thru' hindu and muslim dominant area and I travelled during all days of so called riots in Ahmedabad. Riots shown by media were highly exagerrated and politics made it even worst. Aviator - is staying in J&K who knows how politicians can make things worst.
Also Remember Gujarat is flourishing border state and border states has problem which are not known to other state, People who are interested in politics and support two party politics will be surprised to note that Gujarat voters are practicing almost two party politics since its inception. Why no one talks about Shikh killings in Delhi, where politicians were caught red handed and still they are free.
Gujarat was and has been the best financially managed stae in India. Though maharashtra is number one, it is because of many companies with manufacturing base in Gujarat has corporates in Maharashtra, so revenue goes to Maharashtra account. Reliance is one of them.
Recent survey of central government shows that Gujarat muslims are most flourished muslims in India. Gujarat is improving at much much faster pace than any other state. Come and see infrastructure (not only size even quality) soo agricultural growth (14% last year - highest in India, I own agricultural land so do interact with farmers often and there is a truth in growth figures).
Civil wars are good at times, even Abram Licoln chosen civil war over giving in to separatist forces.
Modi set Gujarat growth pace very high. Not only ambulance - police is improving, administrative decisions are more in favour of society and community over business houses. First time in India, Gujarat has launched Finance city, exclusive area for financial hub and activities. Its going to be SEZ sort of thing with glossy sky lines. It may be worth noting here that Gujarat government aquired land in that area from farmers without any hessles. They gave same amount of better productivity land to farmers plus some money for relocation. So except for political parties there is no opposition of development. In India political parties are surviving on problems, they want us to remain in problem and we support them to remain in problem. Media is working hand is glove with political parties.
Changing ourselves is first necessity, then dissociating from political parties - political philosophies and associating ourselves to nationalism and growth oriented governance is the key to our progress.
