Delhi Riots Should Have Been Stopped During Earlier Stages and BJP Led Center Should Get Its Share of Blame

I am deeply anguished at the level of violence during recent Delhi Riots. E.g. one of the victims Ankit Sharma had 400 wounds on his body and his body was dumped in a drain. The death toll is very high. Death of so many people, be it Hindus or Muslims, over such a small issue is really bad. 

I support BJP but in case of Delhi riots, as per the available information, I put primary responsibility on "inaction" by Delhi Police. For several weeks, anti CAA protesters were creating trouble at public places but nothing was done. 

Home Minister Amit Shah and the BJP Govt at center do have accountability for Delhi Riots. It does not help to blame AAP, Congress or Owaisi. I am surprised that Shaheen Bagh protests are still on. What are they waiting for? Shift them to a safe place and vacate public place! Hatred was allowed to simmer in society for too long by not stopping the trouble-creaters. In the end, Kapil Mishra and Pro-CAA protesters took to the streets and riots happened. 

Govt, Police, Supreme Court, all were seen as inactive and "soft" on rioters and protesters just because they were Muslims. It was a clear message that they could do anything and won't be punished. 

AAP, Congress, Owaisi and Mullahs kept fueling Muslims sentiments. But no action was taken against them. Rioters had burnt buses and public property in Delhi but not much was done to create fear in them.

In videos Delhi Police is seen running away from rioters. When Shaheen Bagh case went to Supreme Court, the court sent mediators - that was the last point which proved even Court was soft against protesters as they were Muslims. I wish the Supreme Court should not have been such lax at this grave issue and I think SC's lax orders did much more harm. 

I liked it when Sonia Gandhi asked for Amit Shah's resignation. She is old and herself into lot of trouble. But she took courage to challenge the super-powerful Amit Shah. I respect for her courage, even if I don't support her and her party. 

Common people should question Amit Shah, the BJP and the Delhi Police - because if we allow them to avoid accountability, they can do greater mistakes. Playing with lives of common people is not a sport. 

Delhi Riots will remain as a blot on the face of splendid Modi Sarkar. Police, HM and BJP led Center are fully responsible for Delhi Riots because of their "inaction" at the early signs and events leading up to it. And it is sad that even now they have not "woken up".

I can only hope that anyone who saw through the events leading up to Delhi Riots and did nothing despite having the power, gets punished for his 'Karma'.

Delhi: AAP's Freebie Model Sustains Due to Delhi's Higher Revenue Collection Thanks to GST and Modi's Digital India

Recently, Delhi's CM Kejriwal claimed that under his party's rule Delhi's revenue collection has doubled and it is primarily because people have "trust" in his party and hence people are paying higher taxes. This is the most "Thuggish" thing I have ever heard recently.

In a country like India where most people do not want to pay any taxes, to think that people are voluntarily paying taxes just because they like a political party - is plain madness. But then Kejriwal is famous for saying mad things. 

I checked out a report published in Left-leaning newspaper and below are some of the charts revealing things which Kejriwal and AAP won't like us to know. 

#1: Delhi gets maximum revenues from GST and implementation of the e-Way bill (by Modi Govt at Center) has played a key role in boosting collection by increasing better compliance of the GST: 


"Sources in the government said that the implementation of the e-Way bill seems to have played a key role in boosting collection by increasing better compliance of the Goods and Services Tax."

"The e-Way bill, the electronic document generated on the GST portal for the movement of goods valued higher than Rs 50,000, has played a key role in preventing evasion. It has also ensured that the transactions complied with the GST laws."

#2: Capex is not increasing in Delhi (because govt is spending higher amount on Freebies like free electricity, water and bus tickets to women voters: 



#3: Direct Tax collection has in fact come down and hence it totally negates Kejriwal's thuggish suggestion that people are playing more taxes:

Delhi: Baby Kejriwal: Stop Using Kids for Publicity Stunts


It is said that a picture tells a thousand stories. I had seen the above picture spread on media for some time and thought it was cute. But then I saw its video and seems in modern times we should cancel the old saying and make it "a picture can deceive; but a video tells the whole story". 

In the video showing how above picture of "baby Kejriwal" was taken, a lady, perhaps the kid's mother was holding it. The kid looked annoyed, perhaps due to heavy makeup and getup - fake mustache, glasses, an uncomfortable cap, solid color full sweater and a muffler. The mother looked up and showed him something in the sky; the kid followed and tried to spot it - that is how above still picture was captured. 

I find it sad that politicians and parents are using kids for publicity stunts.


Delhi: Attack on AAP MLA Naresh Yadav's Convoy Proves How Many AAP Members are From Criminal Background.

As per news from today's newspapers, while Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) newly elected MLA from Mehrauli, Naresh Yadav's doing a rally in an open car, one of his subordinates and AAP member Ashok Mann was attacked and killed in firing. (Source: Hindu) 

As per Police, the attack was the outcome of a personal enmity and Ashok Mann was the only target. In November, an FIR was registered against Ashok under IPC Section for attempt to murder, and attack was related to it. 

The attacker wanted to kill AAP Member Ashok Mann because Ashok was involved in a murder of his kin. Ashok must be close to the MLA since he was travelling with him in his open car. 

This episode makes us realize that a large number of AAP members are from criminal background. Greedy of state govt's advertisement budget, media houses are not highlighting this. 

Everyone with little understanding of the ground realities knows that Arvind Kejriwal is just a "face" and a lot of other leaders of AAP are uneducated and from criminal background. This is clearly reflected in the data. People of Delhi should realize this.
