100 Days of NaMo Sarkaar

Friends

Recently NaMo Sarkaar completed 100 days. Though it is quite short period to judge performance of any party but still indications can be analysed and directions can be judged. New govt. was quite fast in taking certain decisions right from the day it was declared that BJP with NDA has won elections and soon new government is coming into power. NaMo had started taking interest in the government workings, meeting bureaucrates , meeting foreign dignitaries and so on.. It was clear that no more dullness in the government and soon we wd see active government. Soon the ministry was put into place and parliament sessions were convened. Oath ceremony saw all the saarc member countries heads indicating that the vibrancy in government is reviving. In last 100 days NaMo Sarkaar has successfully handled many international and domestic issues. GDP growth was highest in last quarter, Sensex and nifty touched new heights, industrial production is getting better day by day , people feel more safe now and transparency  in the government working is quite apparent. However, NaMo Sarkaar could have done better in certain segments particularly in reviving the economy and boosting the investments. Many schemes of the government were almost copy of the previous government. NaMo visited Bhutan, Nepal and Japan in last 3 months and heads of countries like Australia visited India. In my view NaMo Sarkaar should look into following issues ASAP :

1. Ministry of finance and defence should have full fledged cabinet minsters for better focus and performance. Some other crucial ministries be made independent . Many politicians of ruling BJP are quite capable and intelligent with vast experience and hence shall be accommodated for better performance of the NaMo Sarkaar. 

2. Certain bureaucrates continuing from previous government should be reshuffled as their thought process is unchanged. They may come on time now but that is not the guarantee of better performance or new thinking. 

3. Situation in UP, J&K and West Bengal is not yet improved and hence special attention should be given to improve the life of public in these states.

4. In present economic situation small and medium businessmen/ industrialists are seen as scamsters and hence better atmosphere is needed. Lot of rules and regulations framed by previous government like NPA, Sarfaesi, new loans etc. should be made flexible. The approach should be to help the businessmen to revive the units which is giving employment to lot of people of the country and generating forex revenues for the country. In every economy 10-15% may be cheaters but this does not mean all the businesses are surviving on illegal methods. Business environment should be good for better economy. 

5. Gujarat development is the major reason for the success of this government and hence the growth of Gujarat should be ensured even after NaMo has moved to delhi.

Kal Phir Ayega

Friends

It is long time since I could sit again to write a blog. I don't understand why I am so dull and lazy in writing blog. Probably mind does not decide what to write and I find excuses for not writing blog which once was very close to my heart and wish it again becomes routine to express my views on blog.

Most of the time in life we come across very challenges and try to face it . Be it profession , education or social segments, we feel it is the biggest ever challenge till we come across new bigger challenge. History of a challenge is always fascinating but the present and future very tense. Some times we feel it is end of every thing and suddenly we come out of the challenge without knowing how it all happened. While passing through a challenge, we feel pity of ourselves and winning a challenge gives feeling of achievement.

I would only say that in such situation "Kal Phir Ayega" there can not be end to any thing it is only coma and no full stops. Life is full of opportunities , dreams and achievements . We only need to have patience and hard work to grab them.

Achchhe Din

Friends

It is about a Week, NaMo has taken charge as PM of the country. Since last 13 years he was in Gujarat, we never felt his presence. He does not know me but I know him and hence when he moved out to Delhi, we people have started missing him. It feels as if some one of our family has gone out of home. This is the personality of NaMo and I am sure in near future whole country will start feeling his presence. It is for the good of the Country, hence we all should be happy for his movement despite we will miss him in Gujarat. 

Last couple of weeks have been quite hectic with travelling to Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai. This is also indication of improvement in the Economy. Lagta hai sach Mai Achchhe Din Aane Wale Hai. Let us hope and look for brighter time ahead .

NaMo-Jigar ka Tukda

Friends

Soon NaMo would start full fledged function as PM of the Country.  We know he is very hard working and task master and wish people would love his work as PM too. Infact, We at Gujarat would miss him as he is our "Jigar ka Tukda" but this is small sacrifice for the nation. He has big experienced battery of team politically and bureaucratically who will perform as per his instructions. 

On economic front he has to take care of inflation, rupee value vis a vis foreign currencies, CAD, and growth of the  Country. The conditions left by the outgoing government is not very good and it would be a tough task for incoming government to prove the situation. Here is a small gist for the new government on economic front :

1. Inflation to control by taking some positive steps.

2. Focus on Agriculture, Power and Infra Sectors to improve the Economy, Jobs and inclusive growth. All the pending proposals should be cleared so the necessary investment can be brought in.

3. Condition of the sick units shall be reviewed with positive attitude and necessary support should be extended so such units can stand on their own and run. They will expand and also give substantial jobs to the people. Killing such units with legal tools would be easiest thing but then lot of employed forces would get unemployed and lower the growth too. Banks should be persuaded to help the sick units instead of selling them to ARCs who are not better than a butcher house. 

4. Taxes particularly service tax shall be abolished completely as it is creating more black money in the system. Rates should be reduced and recoveries may be speed up.

5. Power projects shall be promoted in power deficit states and also the power manufacturing plants be promoted. 

6. Capital goods sector be given full support as that will bring in technology, Money and future growth in the country. This will require the strengthening Rupee in international markets.

I can give long list but these are some of the immediate requirement of the our country.

Saturday, Sunday had been great outing for us to one of the best resort of Pushkar (Raj.). The occasion was Golden jubilee anniversary of our uncle Shri Kailash chachaji and Chachi. It was great combined effort of their children, who have tirelessly left no stone unturned in making the even grand success. It is not small think to organise the event with such a perfection. Very few people have dual capability of organising the event and enjoy too. It needs lot of guts to satisfy every one who come from distant places With different back ground . It was marvellous task they performed with great coordination, respect and humbleness. We all enjoyed the event for two days and thank this wonderful family for organising this event. It is great achievement for the Hosts to make the guests enjoy for two days.

Last week I had to attend one more marriage at Abu, which was also a good event. This week I am giving some time to the profession hence travelling Pune and Nagpur. Later on will visit Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Banglore too.

Political drama is at its peak and will remain so till end of next month. Intact, it is out door drama going till 12th May and after 16th , the day counting starts, it will move to inward. Lot of editing, dubbing , back ground music and so many other things would be done. More than half of the seats have been voted and people in those areas are nor back to business. Certain states like Karnataka, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu have been fully our of out door drama. Business in these states have started reviving to some extent though every one in the country will have to wait till counting .

Elections must have pumped in huge amount of liquidity in the system and this will support the economy. Let us hope for the best for the country and wish great economic growth of the nation. After all in last  5 years we have faced policy paralysis, arrogance,corruption, scam, inflation, negative growth in economy.

Whenever I go these days people talk about Gujarat. They wonder if really electricity is 100% and roads are good. Ahmedabad earlier was taken as a two tier city with normal activities, till elections. Thanks to the media that now we are taken seriously. There is huge responsibility on Gujarat now to lead the other states and sustain high growth. It would be a great challenge for this state and we are confident to prove right in untrue too.

Election season is at its' peak. Democracy is dancing through politicians. Media is playing music and we public are having party time. What a pleasant dance where every one is proving himself best and trying to be the most efficient, intelligent and open heart person. These dancers become so humble that even god may be surprising what has happened to all these typical creatures who were not like this. Most embarrassing period for Bollywood actors who can't compete these politicians in acting.  Scene  is like we have entered into a Mela where lot of games, shop keepers, eateries etc. are selling their products by luring the public. Jokers are masked with different different faces, talking different tones and trying their level best to snatch maximum voters. They know these couple of months' efforts would take them to heaven again for 5 years. They behave so humbly but afraid of fellow actors . If required they can go to any extent in defeating others. What a festival of democracy we are passing through.

New financial year has also started about a fortnight ago and once the above festival passes after another month or so, we Indians will sit back and start again concentrating on Business and Economics. It seems every one including the current government and all its' institutions have virtually accepted the defeat and are simply passing the time. No action, no decisions and of course no energy. I wish we soon get over this and start the business again.

World economy is in better shape now and there are huge opportunities available for our country if we seriously make efforts. Indian economy is under stress without any doubt and needs firm and quick decisions to revive. Last March month has seen lot defaults in the banking system. As per my estimates, more than 4 Lac Crores of Loan are under distress at different levels and if not handled properly these may become bad .

My elder daughter Nikita has just finished her Law graduation and would soon enter into legal world. My best wishes to her for great career ahead.
