Open Letter to Mr Narendra Modi - Prime Ministerial candidate of BJP

Open Letter to Mr Narendra Modi from a Common Man

Dear Mr Modi,

I have been following your excellent, impressive and aggressive speeches for the past six months. There is no doubt that you are the only face in BJP which can pull out huge crowds in your rally. The crowd is coming out in thousands and lakhs to listen to your speeches and to support you. However we will only come to know on 16th whether this crowd of common people have actually voted for BJP.

I am a common salaried man and before I vote I have some questions to you Mr Modi.

Question No 1. Last month I have been to Gujarat and found many positives. The roads are well maintained, there is no big issue of power in Gujarat, though in many places clean and regular supply of water is still a problem. Crime rate is less and I observed that you can also freely roam around in the night. However corruption is still a challenge in Gujarat. The state is so called Dry state and there are no official wine Shops or bars in Gujarat but country wine is freely available which has so far claimed thousands of lives in Gujarat.
 
Mr Modi despite all your efforts to keep Gujarat free from alcohol why have you failed in controling the supply of country made liquor and smuggling of liquor from the neighboring states. Have you ever thought of the corruption involved in all these activities. Have you ever taken strict action against the officaials invin olved in this. If yes then why this liquor busines still flourishing in Gujarat?

If you come to power and I wish you come with absolute majority, what would you do to stop corrupt practices in India? The AAP has been committed to bring the Jan Lokpal Bill and they have to some extent struck the right chord but what are your plans to curb the corruption in India. You say you will not allow corruption but please tell us how?

Question No 2. Mr Modi, the common man has very small dreams and he is happy if he makes his ends meet and live peacefully in his home. Mehngai or Inflation is such that it is becoming difficult for a common man to survive and live a good life and at the same time have a better education for his children. You have mentioned in your speeches that the government has not been able to control inflation and the policies of the current government are responsible for this. I have not got any convincing statement from you on how you would control inflation. How would you tackle the issue of inflation and price rise in India

Question No 3. How would you generate employment in this country? Congress gave this country MNREGA and I appreciate this step taken by UPA for the employment generation in this country. It has really helped millions of people in India to earn some money at their home towns or villages. The only drawback according to me with MNREGA is, with this the poor can eat only two meals every day with his family. However he will never be able to get his children educated in good schools or raise his living standard. The time has come that we think some employment generation beyond MNREGA. The people of this country will remain poor otherwise resulting in illiteracy and unemployment further.

How would you tackle this issue of unemployment. Please let us know your plans for the poor and lower middle class. The employment means bringing down the gap between the poor and the rich in this country. The disparity is so high and in my opinion this is one of the strong reasons for crime in India.

Question No 4. What is your take on the reservation policy in India? Do you still feel that reservation should be based on cast or religion? Will your Government if formed would have the courage to come up with new reservation policy which is not based on cast or religion? Would you still continue with the Vote bank politics or amend some laws in favour of the country as a whole?

Question No 5. What are your views about criminals entering politics?Would you vouch for keeping criminals out of the Parliament? In 2014 elections there are hundreds of candidates facing severe criminal charges and they might win elections and come to parliament. Even in your party you have given tickets to people who are facing many criminal charges. Would you come up with a law that all these people if convicted will be thrown out of parliament immediately. Would you take a decision that the cases pending against the Parliamentarians and politicians will be taken up in special courts and solved in a specific period may be within a year?

Why is everybody after Arvind Kejriwal and AAP

Media Vs Arvind Kejriwal
It seems that some section of media has really taken a U-Turn and and has started a negative campaign against Arvind Kejriwal and AAP. As a common man this is what I have been observing from the past one month. If you watch some channels like Zee News Media, India News and India TV it is very obvious that there is great bias when they are criticizing Kejriwal. They are forming their own opinion and even so judgmental about everything what Arvind is doing.

I used to be a great fan of all these channels earlier but now they have made it clear what is their agenda so I am losing interest in watching their programmes. I am sure there are millions like me who have the same feelings.

People who has ZEE TV owned Dish TV connection were not even aware of India TV News channel.
It was running as a trial channel after channel number 1500. But all of a sudden when this Anti AAP campaign started Zee TV owned Dish TV has given a special space and number to India TV news channel just after Zee News.

The body language and expressions and the comments of the anchors of Zee News India TV and India News are totally different when they are talking about Kejriwal and AAP. It seems as if they have some personal grudges against AAP.

People watching these channels are smart enough and they understand their ulterior motives and mala fied intentions.

The Prime Miniterial Candidates of the two major parties are not at accessible to media. The Media personnel not even get closer to them leave apart that they would be able to take their interview. I have never seen any channel asking Narendra Modi any question because the media cannot even go 20 meters close to him. have you ever seen the media cameras chasing Rahul Gandhi and asking questions. They cannot because they cannot go beyond certain limit. Times now still boats of the interview of Rahul Gandhi, the first ever interview.

During most of the Modi rallys the live media coverage is provided to the channels by the BJP itself and same is the case for Rahul Gandhi Rallys.

Now who is left for the media? He is our aam aadmi Kejriwal who is open to common man and media wherever he goes. He travels like a common man, talks like a common man, and wish to change the system. If the media feels that Arvind Kejriwal do all the things for media coverage then why are you covering him? Why your cameramen chasing him wherever he goes? In Mumbai also the chaos was not because of the supporters but because Arvind Kejriwal was followed by media vehicles right from the airport to the local train and other areas.

The congress, BJP and other parties have given tickets to so many tainted people and some of them have serious corruption and criminal charges. Why these channels are not highlighting these issues? Why don't these channels bring out the report cards of the existing MPs, ministers and let the people decide.

In fact none of the major parties took AAP seriously during the Delhi Assembly elections in 2013. They have seen the result and faced the music. Now it seems that these parties have taken AAP very seriously and leaving no stone unturned. They are using all sort of tactics to malign the image of Kejriwal and AAP.

I don't know how true Kejriwal's statement about media is but I am sure people like me can smell the rat.
In my opinion the media should be fair and should not be judgmental. It should bring the facts so that people are benefited from it. It is their right to question the politicians and government and it is media only which has unearthed so many scams in India. It is media only who has brought into notice so many things which have ultimately resulted in the development of the country and society.

I have heard this word PAID MEDIA but I am not sure whether it is true. If at all it exists then it is not good for the society as a whole.

Kejriwal should also understand that giving a generic statement about the media will not do any good for him. He should also be cautious while talking informally like Aam Aadmi because there may be someone from the opposition camp recording what he is saying even on a lighter note.
