1. Price Hike : Common man is most affected by price hike. Wheat, vegetable, rice , transport etc is what they are looking for. They will not go how our stock market is performing , tax collections and growing economy. Chidambaram budget has no value for them until prices are controlled. Congress will suffer the same rout if they are not able to control prices. 2. Arrogance : Perhaps Congress is also driven by the survey done by various newspaper regarding the number of seats they would get if the LS polls are held. It is time to look back to common man and see the practical difficulties they are facing. Maharashtra is having frequent power cuts inspite of they being in power for last 7 years. Similarly in Goa their minister came up with Development plan for which the entire Goa was against.
The current result that shows congress failure in recent election is due to 3 big resons- 1)ARJUN's DIVIDE AND RULE POLICY-This most embarassing character who never won a single election at any level of election is the biggest guilty in all this.His Reservation policy's aim is to consolidate the vote bank of SC/St.But He never thinks about people of general category who chances will be killed.Its a cheat.He is a terrible person who does not believe in Constitution.BUT THIS IS ONLY AN AIM TO HIDE THE FAILURE OF CONGRESS PART IN PROVIDING SOCIAL STATUS AND EQUALITY TO SC/ST IN 50 YEARS OF THERE REIGN.BUT I BET-MR. ARJUN WILL NEVER EVER WIN A SINGLE ELECTION.DONT BE IN A MISCONCEPTION MR.SINGH. 2)The inflation hike and increase in rate of accomodities has hit the pocket of comman people,so in return congress has to pay it back in return 3)Antiincombancy factor is another reson :in Punjab and in Uttaranchal the congress could not fill up there promises,as usually no one do,So it happened. BUT IRONICALLY IN INDIA-PEOPLE LIKE ARJUN GETS GAIN PLAYING DIVIDE AND RULE POLICY..I HOPE BJP AND CO KEEP THEIR PROMISES.UNFORTUNATELY NO PARTY IS PERFECT OR HAVE A PARTIAL GOOD IMAGE.HARD LUCK TO US-THE PEOPLE OF INDIA
I think we all must think carefully before making any comments on these results. Here is nice piece to think over>>>
Alexander Tyler, on democracy
How Long Do We Have? About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promises the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. "The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence: 1. From bondage to spiritual faith; 2. From spiritual faith to great courage; 3. From courage to liberty; 4. From liberty to abundance; 5. From abundance to complacency; 6. From complacency to apathy; 7. From apathy to dependence; 8. From dependence back into bondage." Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election: Number of States won by: Gore: 19; Bush: 29 Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000; Bush: 2,427,000 Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million; Bush: 143 million Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore: 13.2; Bush: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare ... ." Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase. If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals, and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

Poor people of this country, do not know about this democracy. Rightwing politicians like Congress & Bjp can purchase poor peoples vote becasue the most of the voters are very very poor, poverty riden / unemployed / uneducated so this time BJP next time Congress. Poor people is suffering.
It is very clear from the verdict came during last few years that there is vast gap between requirements and expectations of public and efforts & sincerity of our politicians. Public do not wish to see the face of people in power again because of their shattered hopes.
Unfortunately our leaders have tries to present themselves as a powerful person like DADA either because of their background or developed extremely high personal interests after getting power.
Development what so ever has taken place in the country during past, is just basic. In my opinion, neither we nor our politicians have any reason to appreciate so high.
Rest assured, we will have same kind of verdict in the future to come also.
It's a lesson for hot-headed politicians like Amarinder singh who harassed opposition parties after coming to power. For such people, putting opposition leaders and supporters in jail is more important than development of the state. Jayalalitha did that and faced same fate. Amarinder did that and faced same fate. Next in the line is Dr Y S Rajashekar Reddy, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh who now started thinking that people voted him to power to ruin prestigious media group like Eenadu and dismantle opposition in the State. Power goes head of these people immediately after coming to power. They live in a make believe world that they would be rulers forever.

Well said. Most of the congress party leaders are hardcode politicians, contractors and opportunists who always in run for money and power. I seriously think I (we) stupid educated people need to participate in voting to eradicate congress from INDIA. I fell these people are responsible for economic and social backwardness for our country. Corruption, pseudo secularism are the strengths of this party. I feel our country is suffering more because of this inefficient govts like Cong, SP and than Paki terrorists.

so u think eenadu is publishing news for the better reason. No..its not.U can just have a glance on it & u can see the bias in every word it prints. As said by the Supreme Court,i don't feel any connection between print media and his money -making business. Then Y do the so called politicians go for the hurry cover on eenadu.Just give a go for the legal proceedings and u can see the outcome. N no political party who-so-ever heads it has a clean chit. Do u think India is in a better position, or are we in the better living standards just 3 yrs back? No its one n the same. So just keep changing the Govts every now and then by casting ur vote so that v can atleast hope for the better one.

Just I want share my view on Judicial System does not matter its Supreme Court or something else.
Constitution or laws are written on the basis of Social Justices. The courts are there to make sure law is implementing or not. If some issue arises which are not defined in the constitution then courts will give judgments based on current situation and visible evidences. It will not see any hidden truth and internal facts because courts need visible and provable evidences.
Take an example of reservation law. If this law is questionable then Supreme Court will ask to remove from the constitution because it is against basic right of equal opportunity of all Indians. But we need to have reservations to bring up socially and economically backward people. That is the reason this type of laws are kept under section 9.
Let%u2019s come back to Eenadu issue %u2026Media is the watch dog on the government. How can any one think govt works will be done 100 % correctly if 99% politicians are corrupt? Its govt responsibility to prove to people that what ever allegation made by media is wrong.
Mr Rao is doing two businesses which are visible to court and it is on records. AP CM is ill hunting Ramoji Rao which is not documented or not in records. In this scenario how court will support Eenadu. Rao running his finance company from 30 yrs with out a single complaint till now, then what is the necessity of ride his offices?
I am totally against of supreme court ruling. It is bliend ....

Dear Reddy, I think even the Enadu group is at fault. Freedom of the press doesn't mean you can publish libellous stuff day after day and get away with it. That's what Enadu tried to do. If you are a prestigious publication, it doesn't mean your other business interests need to be kept off the scanner. Sadly, here both YSR and Enadu are at fault here. So there is nothing much that can be done.

Dear Gauche,
I also worked in a media group in Andhra Pradesh when Chandrababu Naidu was chief minister. We criticised Naidu much more strongly. Even Naidu recalled this at Bangalore recently. But Naidu never did like this. He used to send us rejoinders, but never ever said a word against us publicly. As for as Eenadu is concerned, Ramoji Rao never compromised on journalistic values and used his paper to get undue advantage like other media groups in AP. He always fought on the principles. While others are dancing to the tunes of politicians for sake of mere Rajya Sabha membership. I know he has a soft corner for TDP, but his paper criticised Naidu government more than other papers! I think you know this. All his business establishments like Margadharsi and Priya Foods were established before Eenadu. He was an employee in a private company before entering into business and built such big business group from scratch. As for Margadarshi is concerned, this government would not have made such a hue and cry if it is not part of Eenadu. No depositor complained.Besides Eenadu group has already sold its stake to arrange necessary funds. Then where is the necessity to do all this non-sense. Because YSR is chief minister and he can do whatever he wants. What YSR has done for depositors of Prudential and Charminar Co-operative Banks? People like Ramoji Rao should be an inspiration for youth in AP so that more and more such business groups come up in the State and provide employment to thousands of people.
How can they form Govt? They dont have absolute majority. Just falling short and with their speaker they lose one more vote. Cong will again play Goa game .
Though he should lead but at least the kind of instant morality and instant attachment he has obtained with the citizens of this country, Sidhu should be considered a VERY MUCH MR CLEAN like Rajiv Gandhi of 1984. This way, Mr Sidhu could show what honesty, integrity and radicalism could do for 'battered Panjab' of today. Surely, this piece of advice may be taken up to Vajpayee Ji and Rajnath Ji, who should take Mr Sidhu as an OMEN for fresh-blood in NORTH INDIA from BJP?

Sonia Gandhi? L-E-A-D-E-R? She is there just because of the surname not because of the Leadership qualities .. and she has the distinction of winning the LEAST number of seats for the Congress Party, ever!
If the Opposition party members are Dogs then what should she be called? - I think you know the answer :))

She doesnt say any bad words, she does that with her actions !! Congress has screwed the entire nation with its Divide and Rule policy. What has your "Great Lady" done for the country??????
It is not SAD but BJP who in real sense made the difference in Punjab results.The next CM should be from BJP.There are some intelligent MLAs in BJP & not a single akali who can lead a stable and corruption free government.
