A Post Graduate in Economics from University of Delhi and a Social activist now. Presently as General Secretary of Chandigarh Social Welfare Council, an NGO, am working in the field of up gradation of infrastructure and regularization of the General Power of Attorney holders in cooperative housing societies at Chandigarh.At my initiative, Chandigarh Administration has done a re-look into the matter raised by me. The rules sought to be applied till now have been observed as "repealed" by the JSF, Chandigarh Administration, yet some of the junior level functionaries are passing on the matter to their seniors in a mechanical manner and hence the woes of the hapless GPAs have yet to be redressed by the Administration. I shall continue writing on the subject and every subsequent article shall endeavor to bring out the anamolied
The Indian Political Scene…Post Elections 2009.
The Indian Political scene, post general elections 2009, presents a vivid explanation of how the voter can turn around the issues and its proponent parties. The verdict as per many pollsters was bound to sink the Congress further. However, it went to the contrary giving comfortable place for the Congress to rule for five years uninterruptedly. This also put cheers on the Congress Party as the verdict has put in disarray its main opposition parties viz. the BJP, and Left parties.
The parties like the RJD and SP faced their worst. RJD party is nearly routed from Bihar and Lalu Prasad has faced worst humiliation of life. The situation is not very pleasant for the Samajwadi Party either. They would need to rework their strategies in the light of the results. Even the BJP and left Parties have done introspection of their defeat in the elections. However, none seems to be reading the real picture and is busy in holding meetings; apparently, nothing is coming out of these.
The BJP runs on the crutches of the RSS; it cannot deviate from the ideology knots of the RSS, which is hindutava. This is and has alienated the minorities from joining its ranks. Though Jaswant Singh and Yashwant Sinha took positions diametrically opposite to that of the leadership yet time alone would show their impact on policymaking.
The Left Parties stand wiped out in West Bengal, reducing its seat share in Parliament to its lowest ebb .However, introspection within the parties leave nothing to ground reality. The parties have failed to acknowledge their mistakes during the last year of the Parliament. The withdrawal of support to UPA Government by the Left Parties was seen in the perspective of its strength.
The Campaign Managers of these parties projected their own Prime Ministerial candidates. The left got busy in mooting a third front of the disgruntled parties and went as far as projecting Mayawati of the BSP as Prime Minister who was elated at the move. The focus was not on any programme but a bizarre hate campaign was got launched collectively against the Congress.
The BSP of Mayawati is a ‘one person party’ and its growth or downfall shall rest on policies she will pursue. The Party in the present context has been on the slide. Eulogizing herself by installing self statues in the state at the cost of public exchequer hs not gone well with the electorate causing loss of credibility of the BSP.
It seemed that Parties did not follow a collective Programme during the campaign. Rather the campaign had rested only on one or a few functionaries’ directions. If it was a relentless campaign led by Arun Jetly for the BJP, Prakash Karat played shots in the Left’s campaign. One really wonders when and where did the ideologies worked during the campaigns.
It was Congress Party alone, which went to the Polls with Development and Aam Admi Agenda. In addition, it really worked wonders for the party; Dynamic and consistent leadership of Sonia Gandhi is responsible for this pleasant development of the Party leading it to power. Sonia Gandhi has emerged as most powerful woman in the world belying all notions of her foreign origin. None could have done better that Sonia has accomplished for the country and its people. She has proved that she is Indian by heart and deeds.
The maturity shown by Rahul Gandhi while campaigning in UP and getting a landslide Victory of the party in the state is another example of the vision of Sonia Gandhi and her concern for the country.
It is time when the main opposition parties are in disarray that the Congress pays attention to strengthening its workers base. Rahul Gandhi has done immense job by uniting the youth of the country and forming Rahul Brigade. Only well-educated and selfless persons should get entry in this brigade. When fully organized, this will serve as backbone of the Party.
The Other Parties shall need a longer period to refurbish them. Some, meanwhile, shall go in oblivion or go in for mergers, pacts and minimum acceptable programmes. The ploy shall not work as the nation has emerged stronger under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and is set to emerge as a world power.

Religion’s Re-enforcement of the Status Quo Keeps Capitalists Content
By: Alice Brooks | 05/12/2009We have been accustomed to religion as an explanation of the unexplained for thousands of years. In the eyes of the Ancient Greeks, Apollo rode his chariot by day, lighting up the sky.

Obama Deception Dulls Public Outrage on Poisonous Policies
By: Alice Brooks | 05/12/2009I think it’s safe to say that the majority of you readers, and in fact the majority of the planetary population, held high hopes for the new United States President, Barack Obama. He championed change and promised to restore respect to international affairs. Perhaps his hand to shape insurance reform to benefit big insurance companies is awakening more of you, (like it is me), to the Obama deception which has occurred.
