A Prime Minister needs better choice of words
The language our PM and some Congress politicians are using during election rallies in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chattisgarh does not befit the office each one of them holds. Some irresponsible Cong MLAs asked sarcastically about the father of PM Modi. This is highly condemnable. But the person who set the use of such language into motion is PM himself. The run up to 2014 elections he had referred to Sonia Gandhi as Jersey cow and Rahul Gandhi as the hybrid calf. Actually none of the Congress leaders have brought down the level of discourse to as worse as Modi did.
This country has seen many PMs starting from Nehru to Manmohan Singh. But nobody had stooped this low. Even Atal Bihari Vajpayee who came from Modi's own party addressed his detractors with great respect and dignity. He would never address anyone in singular figure of speech. Even if he did, he'd immediately express regret for that. But our PM suffers from less education and low research on any topic he'd prefer to speak. So that comes out evidently. He even forgets the fact that he is a PM and uses all sorts of mediocre body language and blatant lies to support his fake arguments. His speeches barely have truths in them.
One wonders whether the PM is even aware of whatever he is doing. On Sunday, speaking at an election campaign in Rajasthan, he said “Congress is exerting pressure on the Supreme Court in the backdrop of 2019 elections”. A PM should not stoop so low to bring down the credibility of the Supreme Court. In actual sense, Congress is not in any position to bring any pressure on Supreme Court with a mere 44 MPs. BJP is in power, with absolute majority. A PM with 56’ chest is representing them. There are allegations that the government is interfering with the judiciary too. BJP rode the Ram Mandir wave and came to power assuring to build Ram Mandir and it couldn’t have been difficult for the party to build the Mandir through an ordinance. But the party chose to remain silent for the last four and a half years, and with just six months to go for Lok Sabha elections BJP is trying to organize Dharma Sabhas in Ayodhya and instigate the Hindus to form a vote bank again.
The Modi government gave probably the worst administration in the term so far and never attempted to solve any problem prevailing in the country. Black money didn’t come into the country in any form, though this was one of the main assurances he had made to people in the run up to the elections. Inflation went unchecked. The cooking gas that was available for Rs 398 in 2014 now costs Rs 1000 now. Banking sector has been ruined. The skirmish between Reserve Bank and Finance ministry is out in the open. Internal squabbles have become the order of the day in CBI. UGC has been uprooted. Planning Commission doesn’t exist anymore. Corporate industrialists have robbed the banks and escaped to other nations with the help of the government. The GauRakshaks are making people’s life miserable, by killing innocent people on mere suspicion. Law and order has collapsed. The PM didn’t break his silence even when Gauri Lankesh was killed or Swami Agnivesh was attacked.
Modi bhakts are busy cancelling even music programs of Carnatic vocalists. People are tired of the ill effects of GST and demonetization. To avoid facing the ire of these people in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the government is busy dividing them on religious lines and instigating them against the Congress. CBI is being brandished like a weapon to shut the mouth of leaders of other parties. This does not dignify the chair of the PM. Elections come and go, but the main task of every politician is to ensure the constitution is respected and adhered to.
The neighbouring Pakistan that took to military rule is unable to extricate itself to establish a democratic process owing to the misrule of some army generals. But India has upheld its secular credentials and upheld the democracy owing to the fact that our constitution empowers us. If all these are protected, the country will remain strong and safe.

Have won in people’s court, says Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on by-poll results
Bengaluru (PTI): Buoyed by the assembly election by-polls, which saw the ruling Congress sweeping in all the three seats, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday said he won in the ‘people’s court’.
He gave credit to the guarantee schemes for the party’s victory in the assembly bypolls in Sandur, Shiggaon and Channapatna.
“You know what Mahatma Gandhi said. He said people’s court is better than the courts. Now people’s court has given me its verdict,” Siddaramaiah told reporters.
This victory was significant for the Congress as the BJP and JD(S) formed an alliance, he explained.
“We won from Kalyana Karnataka (Sandur), Kittur Karnataka region (Shiggaon), and old Mysuru region (Channapatna). In all the places we won. So, this is very significant."
“After our government came to power about one and half years ago, the BJP made false allegations on me and my government. They also spread lies about our schemes,” Siddaramaiah said.
The CM is an accused in the MUDA site allotment scam where 14 sites in upmarket of Mysuru was allotted to his wife, Parvathi. After the controversy broke out, Parvathi returned the sites to MUDA.
He also came down heavily on the opposition BJP and JD(S) for their lies and ‘baseless allegations’.
The Chief Minister also took a swipe at JDS supremo H D Deve Gowda and his son Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy for "crying" in public during elections.
“Deve Gowda and his sons cry, but didn’t their heart melt when several women cried in the Prajwal Revanna case in Hassan?” he asked.
Former JD(S) MP and grandson of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, Prajwal Revanna is in jail for allegedly sexually assaulting several women and filming them.
