Bureaucracy and corruption

90 percent of bureaucrats are corrupt. And most who defend have allegations against them.

Election machinery

How dumb does one have to be to defend the election machinery when what is being criticized is the way people were removed from electoral rolls. What use are these robust safeguards of when the electoral rolls themselves are allegedly rigged? Idk what these bureaucrats want, are they not satisfied with everything they sucked from the common man while in service that they have to do this now to suck more?

Suitable place for Protests in Delhi

Protests are part of the normal democratic process. Delhi being the Capital of the country, there will be frequent protests. The existing place Jantar Mantar is not only small but is surrounded by busy commercial establishments and offices

I suggest the National Stadium near India Gate would be a suitable place for protests. It is an enclosed space and crowd management would be easy. It is near Parliament House and a delegation of protestors can go easily to meet /hand over their grievances to the Government.

Government should consider this option.

Opposition unity?

Just wait for another month. The scamgressis, SP and AAP would be at loggerheads with each other. If Pappu manages to get popular, he would obviously demand more UP seats. Maybe even break off the UP alliance. And WRT Punjab, AAP wouldn't want to lose the elections against Scamgressis. So where's the UNITY? Each of them have their own personal agendas. So the question isn't about BJP but about scoring their own brownie points for the elections ahead. Abh samjha?

AI in the IT department?
What will happen if manpower in the Income Tax department is replaced by AI on a large scale? Automated processes and AI might well be a game changer.

Rahul Gandhi

There's no internal democracy in his own party. He is joking. At the best he can only slander and create chaos. Nation needs a serious opposition leader who makes sense.

Dialogue

What one needs is dialogue with the people, not security against the people.
Namrata Rynjah
Define people
Define ‘people’….. You can’t engage in a dialogue with a mob that is funded by outsiders to topple institutions and democratically elected governments.

Irrelevance of regional parties

Most regional parties have understood that their politics is done. They are irrelevant post 2024. The remaining ones yet to be decimated are about to understand this pretty soon.

Her arrogance cost her. She has been notified, rising of BJP in Bengal. Good for democracy.

CJP is AAP youth wing

This is absolutely true, CJP is AAP -Arvind Kejriwal 's youth wing and they should be exposed as they are denying that they have any political ambitions which is an absolute lie. A perfect analysis of CJP is done superbly by Raju Parulekar, who has called out this farce from day 1!!!

Focus on increasing GST

Maharashtra is at Rs 25000 cr and TN is 10000 cr. Let's focus on how to increase our GST..

Smriti Irani to contest UP assembly polls, no
No, don't think so. She will likely stick to the Union and have her own ministry: the Ministry of Self Importance. To find her MoS, they'll only have to look for someone with high decibels, dramatic pauses and camera-facing indignation.

Anil Chauhan – next NSA? No

I don't think Anil Chauhan will replace Doval as the next NSA. Chauhan is a career military man, and despite his scholarly pursuits and expertise in geopolitics, India needs an NSA who can handle internal security and diplomacy at the same time. Nevertheless, it is possible that Chauhan could be in the VIF to push a reformist position for the Indian military.

No single power centre in TN
Not one power centre ha, ha. This is too bad for Tamil Nadu. CM should learn everything to improve our TN. Then only TVK will come to power again.

Right Vote is the answer

If you don't want illiterates and criminals in the parliament, vote wisely. If you want the bureaucracy, judiciary to work, seek accountability. If you see anyone corrupt, smash their nose. So yeah. @arusheemehrotra
