Sentenced to five years in jail, fined Rs 25 lakhs

Still I'm shocked at the quantum of Rs. 25 lacs fine. There are many other not-so-known-convicts who've been sentenced to a similar time in jail and a fine to the tune of a whopping Rs. 1.5 crores.

Anyone got tl;dr fwd on prime minister about rudderless ships and reputation devaluation proportional to rupee? Starts with religion, goes onto economics and even lil bit of evolution (pm is compared to appendix). Buut it says we have $200 billion reserves, we owe 150 in 2013, so Subramaniam Swamy has 50 to play with... Not enough
Fb, twitter, internet in general seems to be playing major role this time around. Happy just because nation is talking about elections this far ahead... Including obvious prods from PR machinaries

Modiji going toilet first then temple was epic tho.

Because we have a never ending thread on it which will most likely be the bane of this forum.

No model state : Gujarat!

Among the rural groups that suffered from the state’s policy, Adivasis are a case in point. According to a World Bank report, between 1993-94 and 2004-05, the share of those who lived below the poverty line increased from 30.9 per cent to 33.1 per cent — 10 percentage points below the national average. The Modi government has been criticised for not allocating to Adivasis and Dalits funds in proportion to their population. While the former represent almost 18 per cent of the state population, they were allocated 11.01 per cent of the total outlay in 2007-08, 14.06 per cent in 2008-09, 13.14 per cent in 2010-11 and 16.48 per cent in 2011-12. Moreover, actual expenditures were even lower. The same was true of the Dalits, who represent 7.1 per cent of the state population and who were allotted 1.41 per cent of the total outlay in 2007-08, 3.93 per cent in 2008-09, 4.51 per cent in 2009-10, 3.65 per cent in 2010-11 and 3.20 per cent in 2011-12.

While these criticisms from the left are well known, those on the right, especially the liberals, could also have indicted the Modi government for its lack of financial discipline. The Gujarat growth pattern relies on indebtedness. The state’s debt increased from Rs 45,301 crore in 2002 to Rs. 1,38,978 crore in 2013, not far behind the usual suspects, Uttar Pradesh (Rs 1,58,400 crore) and West Bengal (Rs 1,92,100). In terms of per capita indebtedness, the situation is even more worrying, given the size of the state: each Gujarati carries a debt of Rs 23,163 if the population is taken to be 60 million. In 2013-14, the government plans to raise fresh loans to the tune of Rs 26,009 crore. Of this amount, Rs 19,877 crore, that is 76 per cent, will be used to pay the principal and the interests of the existing debts. Gujarat would fall into the debt trap the day this figure reaches 100 per cent.

Second, the exchequer has been directly affected by the business-friendly attitude of the Modi government. To woo investors, it has indulged in tax deductions and low interest rates, and sold land at throwaway prices. Take the example of the Nano factory. If K. Nag’s biography of Modi is to be believed, the Gujarat government made unprecedented concessions to Tata Motors, including the sale of 1,100 acres of land at Rs 900 per square metre, when its market rate was around Rs 10,000 per square metre, a Rs 20 crore exemption on stamp duty levied on the sale of land, a 20-year deferral in the payment of value added tax on the sale, and loans amounting to Rs 9,570 crore against an investment of Rs 2,900 crore (330 per cent of the investment) at 0.1 per cent interest rate over 20 years. Most of the big companies investing in Gujarat — Adani, Essar, Reliance, Ford, Maruti, L&T and others — have been offered special conditions, especially under the SEZ framework.

Debt is not a problem if you have the cash. Cash flow is important. Gujarat has it.

Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal don't.

Congress MP Chaudhary Birender Singh, who had earlier kicked up a row with his 'Rs 100 crore for a Rajya Sabha seat remark', today said that there are many people who have made billions through politics and that politics is the best business.

Anyways, good news folks. For non-minorities, your money shall be stashed in the pockets of minorities, and for minorities, this world is yours. Go to banks now, take huge loans and you need not repay. We all know what 'minority' means for Congress. A group whose population is 20% of the total and second largest in the world is a 'minority' for Congress.

"NO NEED FOR MUSLIMS TO REPAY LOANS"

It's OK if minorities don't repay loans, Karnataka Congress chief G Parameshwara says - The Times of India

I am sorry but this solution image is completely biased towards bjp..its mocked the cong/aap and has pointed out a one sided solution...
PS:- before i am accused of being anti bjp/pro cong...all i am saying is come up with a balanced debate than mocking the rest of the parties...

Also not too sure about this whole paid media thing...first of all, there was a cag report showing some malnutrition thing or something in gujarat(Honestly CAG has probs with everything)..But instead of debating about it, i found people taking the easy route of bias/cong agent/paid media etc...lets not forget the fact that CAG is an independant auditing group and has literally come up with damning reports on about every state in india..be it scam or food distribution or land projects etc..I would have understood if someone debated that malnutrition is evident everywhere including maharashtra etc but people somehow seem to be one sided on this...

Another thing to add is that the solutions to the problems as stated in the image may seem good but the problem with every project in india is the implementation.
