Let's not ignore people's miseries
Following the terrorist attack on army vehicle in Pulwama that left our soldiers dead, the internal atmosphere of the country has changed so much. No one is speaking about the failures or corruption of the Modi government any more. Having sensed this hunger for war, even Modi is saying the fire is raging high in his heart too. Everyone is basically raging on something or the other, but the homes of those who lost their beloved in this attack are mourning their loss.
This appetite for war has literally set aside the concerns and problems of people on a daily basis. No one is speaking about the failures of the last four and half years. Demonetisation fiasco, people queuing up before banks, innocent people who died in the queues, murders in the name of cow protection, inflation, unemployment, corruption, such raging issues are not points of discussion any more. Everywhere there is an atmosphere of war mongering. In the next three months the ruling party is all set to take the country into another election.
PM is all enthused after this incident. Common people affected by inflation and bad economic situation are being called anti nationals if they speak about the issues they are facing. Attacks have become on artists writers thinkers and rationalists who were vocal about their objection to Modi and Sangh Parivar. Modi bhakts have shouted slogans against actor Prakash Rao who visited the home of martyred soldier from Mandya to donate Rs 5 Lakh to his family. This incident has helped cover up the biggest defence scandal of Rafael agreement. Modi government has not stopped it's vengeful politics. All the ads that were being given to The Hindu paper from central government have been stopped owing to the fact that the paper published some crucial details regarding Rafael scandal.
the last four and a half years of administration by Modi government is completely detrimental to common people. Having described the Parliament as a temple of democracy in 2014, Modi continue to ignore it ever after. Budget was presented without any discussion this year. Democratic institutions have been compromised with at a large extent. One on one hand thousands of farmers were committing suicide over background and on the other thousands lakhs of loans of corporates were being waived off. None of these merit a discussion anymore. The CAG report on Rafale deal is out now. This was presented in the parliament on the last day of 16th Lok Sabha session. Obviously it was not taken up for discussion for lack of time. This report seems to be conducive to the ruling party and does not have answers for many questions that have been raised by various people.
The contract partnership given to Anil Ambani apart from various controversies surrounding the Rafale deal have made it look suspicious. Let nobody will ever discuss these details. The whole Nation has condemned the act of terrorism in Kashmir in solidarity. People's problems and concerns should not be set aside owing to this single act. this should not be used to cover up the failures and lacunae of the government administration. More tragedies will take place when the government itself talks about war and people will never be able to achieve peace in the society.
The mask Pakistan wears should be removed for the whole world to see. But we should not view all Pakistan is as enemies based upon the fact that only some people and political leadership have inflicted terrorism. we must hold Pakistan accountable and engage in peace talks as it happened during the term when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the prime minister. This should be treated as the lone and sane option for India.
But the ruling dispensation does not seem interested in peace talks. Everybody is talking about instigating the general public and political atmosphere. a certain BJP leader Sadhvi Prachi has called upon prime Minister Modi to repeat the Godhra model of retaliation. In a way she has indicated that Godhra was stage managed by Modi. About 31% people have given the responsibility of taking the country on the path to progress to BJP. But the party is not managing its duties well. Utterances of supporting and starting a war are flying around aplenty. This does not befit the image of India.

ECI website faces outage amid vote counting in Jharkhand, Maharashtra
New Delhi: Election Commission of India’s official results website ‘results.eci.gov.in’ has reportedly experienced a technical outage on Saturday morning, at a time when India closely watches the high-stakes Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly poll battle.
Visitors visiting the site were met with non-functional links and a generic “counting in progress” message, leaving them without updated election data. The ECI has not issued an official explanation for the disruption.
Vote counting, which began at 8 a.m. with postal ballots, is underway for 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra and 81 in Jharkhand. Early trends suggest a lead for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra, currently ahead in 141 seats, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is leading in 96. In Jharkhand, the BJP-led NDA is ahead in 43 seats, while the ruling JMM-led alliance is trailing with leads in 33 constituencies.
Additionally, counting is underway for 48 assembly bypolls across 13 states and two parliamentary seats, Nanded in Maharashtra and Wayanad in Kerala.
