Which is more important;GDP growth or job creation?

 

Modi is trying hard to create more jobs in the organized sectors, but the return of his efforts is not so encouraging.  GDP growth is inevitable, but this particular scenario of more job creations is a factor for the NDA government’s survival. In a democratic pattern of government, the policy makers must formulate the economic policies in such a way that must induce the social welfare of the population.  This welfare when creates benefits for the larger sections of the society and the youth, the incumbent government will definitely retain the power.  Modi emphatically pointed out the necessity of more job creations in the organized sectors and advised the business tycoons and the industrialists of India to think on those lines. They have taken his suggestions in good spirit, but the enthusiasm of Modi has not been converted into job creations significantly. It is true that this government is effective enough to increase the GDP growth, curtailment of inflation and controlling the corruption.  At the same time, the failure of creation of enough jobs, which is required to engage the vast population of the younger generation, is missing. This same situation was there in the last phase of governance of the UPA government.  The then leaders were mostly busy to ensure their names should not be linked to the scams and were totally inactive to this vital policy of increasing the job creations. 

The GDP growth will be more beneficiary for the rich at the cost of the weaker sections.  In contrast, job creations in the organized sectors will give a relief to many unemployed, especially the poor. Further, either providing a job or giving a source of regular income to the needy persons, the government can uplift the socio-economical conditions of the underprivileged fraternity. That is how CPM has ruled the state of West Bengal for almost three decades and more?  One of the triumph cards they used to provide was land reforms and makes the poor land owners powerful. They created a sort of vote banks.

 

Another factor, which supports the job creation, is nearly thirty percent of the total population in the demographic group of 20 to 30 years needs a source of income and the government has to provide support for them.  If not job, then, some other security is to be given.  This will be an enormous task. The above figure is quite alarming when it is compared with the share of the same demographic group in China, Korea and USA. In these countries, these groups are  mostly well settled. So, if the government is not implementing various policies to augment the job creations, it will be a real problem for the government.  It is not that immediate debacle will be there in the next general election and partners of NDA government may not face the problem, but they must be agile. The NDA government must think on this demographic sector of unemployed population otherwise, there will be a threat. Unemployed youth, in the absence of a job, can involve them in unsocial activities, creating violence and even may be disrupting the life of citizens of India.  In fact, we have seen these types of politically created violence like Naxalites and Maoist activities. If this particular demographic sector is not provided with the jobs, then the situation may be very chaotic.  So, there must be a change in the outlook of the government and divert their attention for a while from GDP growth to job creations in the organized sectors. For that, Indian industrialists must come forward to fulfill the charismatic mission of Modi to make India as a hub of Asian Countries.

 

 

 

 

USA may create history by electing the first female President

USA may create history by electing the first female President

 

The democratic candidate Hillary Clinton may be the first lady President of the USA. The much publicized debate in the week before last  in Las Vegas, which was telecasted gave an impression of her success to fight for the next Presidential election.  In the debate, she had shown her brilliance and touched a wide range of issues with her volubility. Not only she had expressed her views with authority, but also shown her guts and intellect to rule the most prosperous democratic country of the world. In fact, the Americans appreciated her political acumen duly supplemented by her long experience in government.  She was the only woman on the stage in the debate who  expressed her ambitious posture of her confidence many times. From her positive vibe, it was amply clear that she is the right democratic candidate to rule the USA. Against the questions of the recent controversy related to her personal emails, she responded very well.  She also deliberated on various issues of policies at the time when she was the secretary of State in Obama’s government.  

 

The performance of her opponents was mostly lackluster, which includes the socialist senator Bernie Sanders.  Though her success in the debate in Las Vegas was colorful, she may not get a very comfortable ride in the next lined up debates.  Clinton obviously will get an edge in her further election campaigns after this debate, but the race is not yet over.  She may get competition from Vice President Joe Biden.  Further, her skyrocketed popularity as shown in the poll numbers earlier has softened in recent weeks.  This is mainly because of the controversy related to the mails leaked out in the media.

As per the  poll news by Reuters, the percentage of her popularity from the democratic supporters decreases from 57% to 41%.  The news agency poll, which was taken in between 4^th to 9^th October, 15, indicated this fall out. During the same period,  the support of Sanders and Biden went up to 28% and 20% respectively. Needless to say that Hillary Clinton has to face  a stiff competition. Very recently, Hillary decided to come out against one of the central foreign policy achievements of Obama government that is the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP). Clinton’s views and her stance on TPP  is opposed by various Democratic constituencies, namely organized labor and environmental lobby groups. As per them, she is taking completely a U-turn, because in the year 2012 when she the  secretary of State in Obama’s government described this same TPP as the “gold standard in trade agreements to open, free, transparent, free trade.”

                                                                                                            

Sander has vehemently attacked her views on many of her foreign policies describing the same as gibberish.  Despite Sander’s accusation of Hillary’s policies, his chance to win the nomination for the Presidentship is low.  Assessing the facts and poll numbers taken by IPsos / Reuters, it seems that Hillary is the front runner in the nomination.  But she is being hounded on the key issues that may jeopardize her opportunity to win the general election in the 2016 against Republicans.  Whatever may be, if she wins, it is better for Modi and as a whole we Indians may be benefited for her friendly demeanor with us.  The bonhomie between the two countries will be continued for  for mutual benefits. The USA, of course, will create history to be ruled by a female President for the first time.

 

Can Modi dominate P 5 nations by 2025

Can Modi dominate P5 nations by 2025?

India is now recognized as one of the emerging and powerful countries in the world, whose economic condition is in an upswing. It is a good trend. But, we need to accomplish a lot to equate ourselves with USA, China and UK. Though China is in economic turmoil and UK’s economic condition is still engulfed with recession, India’s chance to become the world’s top most economies is not ruled out  as Modi is able to convince the world leaders to invest considerably in India. He is also taking many  pragmatic decisions to augment various reforms needed to increase the economy.  Modi is very ambitious to lead India and make India as  a powerful nation with adequate economic solvency. In the present scenario, India is widely acknowledged by the super powers of the world, which is basically because of Modi’s  powerful projection of our country’s future plan and actions being taken to fulfill the same. 

The two main factors, namely foreign policy and political decisions need to be streamlined and augmented in the right direction without decision paralysis. Modi’s tireless efforts to establish a rapport with his neighboring countries except Pakistan are laudable.  We are getting results of his efforts. His equation with the super power like USA, and UK and also countries like Germany, France and Sweden are quite appreciative. The heads of these countries are praising his vision to increase India’s GDP growth.  But they expect more reforms, no red-tapism and  less bureaucratic interference. Modi is trying to ensure that setting up of various businesses in India is possible with less political hindrance. But the industrialists and business tycoons of different countries feel that the domestic environment is still dominated by bureaucratic interference and red tapism. So, Modi  must ensure to deal with the political decisions of a sensitive nature expeditiously. The political decisions of an important nature, like the land bill, GST and curtailment of unemployment should not become as impediments to establish more and more industries. Modi has extended his leadership to improve India’s relationship with almost all the heads of various countries. Seeing his charismatic power of  leadership, Nawaz Sharif is inclined for a friendly gesture, but that will not be easier because Pakistan’s control is in the hand of Raheel Shariff, the Army Chief. Truly speaking, Nawaz has a very limited say to increase business ties and establish a cordial relationship with India.

Bilaterally, India under Modi’s leadership has done well to intensify the already growing relationship with the USA, Japan and Australia. His hurricane tours to various parts of the world have yielded bilateral ties with many European powers also. During his visit in Silicon Valley in USA and also in New York in the week before last, he pitched India as a level playing and a business friendly country. He has categorically accentuated India’s present infrastructure facilities to set up business ventures of higher magnitude.  In his hour long discussions with USA’s President Obama over there, he clearly emphasized his future mission. Modi is very much eager to take the role of a supreme power to enhance India’s sovereignty, but domestically our bureaucrats must support his thinking and futuristic developments and they should function accordingly with accuracy and speed. The domestic front needs to be brought into the platform equal to the vision of Modi, otherwise the powers like USA, UK, Australia, China and Japan will not listen to his speech attentively what they do now. Till now, we are not the members of UN Security Council, which is limited to only five nations of the world.  Whether these five nations will agree to induct India as a full member, it is to be watched. Somehow, we have to be a member of the UN Security Council to dominate the powerful nations of the world.  Of course, Germany & Japan are also not the members of UN council, but they are in a position to voice their concern whenever their interest is curbed to the members of this council. Modi must know the secrets from these two nations how they dominate the world’s power. Accordingly, he has to formulate  strong foreign policies and  take hard political decisions to convince all the P 5 nations hear him as an authority and take his decisions related to important global matters.

How to always accuse Modi;The only mission of Congress

How to always accuse Modi; The only mission of  Congress

The Congress party is protesting Modi’s signing on the national flag during his visit to the USA in the week before last. The same is supported by the CEO of Flag Foundation of India Commander (Retd) K.V. Singh. They are saying that the signing was “not in good taste.” From this news, one can feel that Modi has made a blunder. The Congress has made a controversy out of  his this action. All the persons, including some Twitterati accuse him to show disrespect to our tricolor flag. The NDA government, however, has not found anything wrong and supported him. They also defended him very rightly as Modi has broken any protocol. The NDA government has described their allegation as a trash  and also say that the  controversy is a baseless allegation. The fact is Modi had signed a flag to be gifted to US President Obama, drawn by a local handicap child.  With an idea to appreciate the child’s noble cause and his ability, Modi had performed this act. In fact, our Prime Minister must be praised for showing his magnanimity to the child as despite the odds; the child has created a piece of art. This differently-abled child had used his toes to draw the flag, which was not a correct flag as there was no Ashoka Wheel therein.  So, Modi has not violated the code of conduct stipulated by Flag code of India, 2002.  His conduct does not cross the rules laid down by the Prevention of Insults to National Honor Act. Modi simply acknowledged the talent of the child. The government’s administrative machineries namely DG (media & communications) do not find nothing wrong in this activity. The flag code states that no one is allowed to put any lettering there.  It also says whatever position he or she occupies, the lettering to our flag is a complete disrespect. Modi is aware of these rules. Congress and other critics must know the fact that it is not a real flag. Unnecessarily, they are making an issue for no good a reason and start criticizing him.  Modi, as a human being, can make mistakes, can take wrong decisions and  his party may be defeated in the elections, but at least, he is putting efforts for the country’s growth and progress. What Congress is doing?

The Congress party has taken an oath to resist Modi’s all plans and policies.  Sometimes, their protest is so vague, as if their right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.  Instead of doing any constructive work, they get themselves busy in all trivial issues wasting colossal losses of money and time.
