BJP and Congress from a voter's point of view

Narendra Modi talks of doing many things if they get all power but as a voter I have misgivings on that claim. There is a comparison between these two parties, Congress and BJP, I studied and I wish to share it with my readers on this post.

Whatever may BJP say about Congress, as a voter for fifty years, I have noticed that Congress party has done much progress and development of India ever since our independence. Whereas, BJP has yet not started its account in this country. Whatever developments BJP has achieved under Modi in Gujarat were possible because he and his government was given co-operation by the government at the center of Congress party. If Congress party had not given that co-operation I doubt if any development Modi could have achieved in Gujarat. That means, if we have to congratulate Modi for whatever his government has achieved in Gujarat, we should appreciate the share of Congress in that achievement as the central government. If Congress party had not given that co-operation I am sure Modi would not have been able to achieve what he has achieved as a CM of Gujarat. Same we can say about progress MP has made under a BJP CM while there was Congress at the Center. Congress did not behave as a leg puller to stop progress of these states and allowed free hand for those non-congress party governments. This behavior of Congress shows their faith in democratic values and their respect for voter of that state.
This great tradition Congress set up at the center, of allowing even opposition party's rule in states without malice is appreciated by me as a voter and I expected BJP should continue with that tradition but what we see in the speeches of Modi and BJP president Amit Shah of BJP, I regret to observe that BJP does not want to continue with this democratic tradition set up by Congress party during past many years. Both Modi and Shah have threatened Bihar people that if they do not vote for BJP and its allies they will not get co-operation from center! We have been watching how Kejriwal government is being harassed by BJP government at every point. This means, BJP is a dangerous party and it may even abolish democracy as it gets majority in both Loksabha (lower House) and Rajyasabha (upper House). This is not a good sign for we voters. We should not allow a party to be in power if it wants to destroy democracy in this way.
I remember many years back, when Pramod Mahajan was leader in Atal Bihari Government he had told in one of his interviews that his party does not believe in democracy and if they get power in both Houses they will marginalize democracy permanently. He further told in that interview that his party will want to remain in power forever. I think, BJP is all out to destroy our well achieved democracy and bring in typical Brahmanic despotism! If this happens we will be in great trouble.
When I compared work schedule of Congress and that of BJP led NDA I see some measure faults in the working of BJP. Congress had a clear five year plan schedule and they gave those to people and worked on that. Our countries progress we could see through these many five year plans. All topics in those plans were properly justified by giving their feasibility and viability reports to people. From those reports we could know that those plans were based on some reliable base. RBI had approved of all of those five year plans. True to that those five year plans worked well; we are witness to that. In case of BJP they do not have any such plans. I shall show some examples to explain my point.
The very first commitment Modi made was of a bullet train from Mumbai to Ahmadabad! On technical grounds it is not possible in this region of high ambient temperature. A bullet train means by its name a train that will have a straight route like a bullet pass and it is moving at speed not less than 300 kph. His government has appointed a Japanese team to do the investigation on that project; that means, his government has no confidence in Indian Engineers! Congress party never insulted Indian engineers as all five years plans were prepared by Indian experts. The Japanese team has come and offered a route which is doubtful for understandable reasons. That route goes via Nasik. That means, it has to drill many tunnels in the mountain of Sahyadri to reach Nasik and again to go to Ahmadabad they have to drill other many big tunnels through the mountain range of Aravali and Satpuda. This will cost a lot of money and the project will be too expensive for our pocket. The true acceptable route was from Mumbai to Vapi and from there to Ahmadabad. This clearly shows to me that Modi plans are not properly guided by proper work, they are mostly his wishful thinking and daydreaming and so we as voters should be watchful of that since we will have to bear the brunt of all these senseless schemes. Second example, that he delivered is of smart cities. They have not as yet defined what it means! We as citizens of this country have already realized that the concept of smart city is one more daydreaming project having no sensibility in it. To top on that, Modi has come up with some seemingly lucrative financial schemes (Suraksha) such as insurance scheme, Janadhan and such others. Interesting part is that none of these financial schemes our RBI has accepted. At the beginning governor objected to them but under duress he kept quiet. This shows that these financial schemes are not economically viable. Here I see measure difference in the two parties' development schemes all schemes proposed by Congress were properly worked out and their economics was not in any doubt. RBI never objected to them. If these so called lucrative schemes are put to test they will not pass that test; nevertheless, Modi government is pushing them on people. As a voter I want to protest against it. All schemes government must get proper approval from RBI and other critics before implementing them. That is not happening today. If these schemes fail who will bear the brunt of that? When Modi was asked it, he said in that situation his government will put tax on bank depositors on their deposits to recover the losses! That amounts to filling pocket of one citizen by pickpocketing other citizen! This clearly shows that Modi team is not capable of doing any good job and if they continue all depositors in banks will be bankrupt. This is a very serious situation and if we do not take cognition of this dangerous style of functioning of this BJP government, our future is not secured.
All talk of development Modi team makes without offering any tangible explanation as to how his development plans will work? Voters should not accept. Congress never gave any such haphazard talk to people of India. When it come demand for giving feasibility and viability presentation, Modi government refuses to offer that. All work is in a very random style and that is not acceptable to intelligent voters and should not be accepted by voters.

To go back to Congress I wish to point out certain unfortunate developments in that party those took place in it after death of Narsimvharao. We notice that up to that PM, Congress party was working properly. However, as ManMohan Singh and other team of Sonia Gandhi took the charge, corruption and other illegal activities began to come forth in political circles. That gradually put Congress party in a bad position. Prior to that period everything was in proper place and people's faith in that party was repeatedly confirmed through many elections. If Congress party can remove this team of Sonia Gandhi from the party's head and brings in a totally new team that has no concern with this bad team of Sonia Gandhi, Congress party will again emerge as leading political force in India and we will be able to vote for it. However, if this bad team of Sonia Gandhi which includes Rahul Gandhi insists to continue to hold office in Congress that Congress party has no future.
Sonia Gandhi does not carry the true legacy of erstwhile Indian National Congress. She is from a totally different upbringing and belongs to that Italian mafia culture and true to this observation we see how she destroyed Congress party. She took all black money put in Swiss Banks to America and invested in American bonds of FED. By doing that she has earned good offices of US government. Interesting part is that all money is invested in her Italian maiden name and also as citizen of Italy! Every body knows it as it is an open secret. Congress party should get rid of her and her team and cleanse itself of all those wrong people and if it can achieve it, I am sure that Congress party will again come in power and help India forge ahead. You must be thinking that I am a Congress man! Sorry you are wrong, I am actually a member of BJP party. I want to explain how this happened.
Modi asked all Indian voters to join BJP by making a call. I called and in no time I was given a membership of that party. I joined it because I wanted to help Modi in his task in developing our country. After joining it I happened to meet some members of BJP in Chembur where I stay. There I got a shock of my life that this membership is one other hoax Modi is playing with voters and actually it does not make any sense, they told me that I better forget that I am a member of that party and keep out of it. One fellow told me to be a working member of BJP one has to put a lot of money in the coffer of this party. He further told me that they have to purchase their place in the party! It is all business and no national service as it pretends to be. When I happened to meet one important BJP whip Mr. Laddharam, he also confirmed that such membership does not have any value in that party. As this happened I began to research in the style of working of this party and gradually everything became clear to me.
To conclude my this document, I request Modi administration to come clear about all its schemes and prove their technical viabilities and economic feasibility to people and not waste time making theatrical speeches. Let all schemes be properly approved by RBI so there is no doubt in minds of voters about them. Similarly, I also request genuine Congress people to get that dirty head of Sonia Gandhi team, chopped off and put in some more reliable head of some genuine people from the party who carry legacy of late Narsimvharao and I am sure Congress will come in power once again.
