Nepal Communist Party (NCP) is Anti India and Pro-China and It Can be Understood Easily

Nepali Communist Govt is getting involved in a land dispute with India, claiming some Indian land as its own. 

Prime Minister K P Oli on Tuesday reiterated that the Kalapani-Limpiadhura-Lipulek area in the trijunction of Nepal-India and China (Tibet) will be brought back within Nepal's map at any cost.

Oli hit out at India's stance on the border dispute as well as a comment by Indian army chief Manoj Navarane that a protest in Nepal against India — after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh e-inaugurated a road meant to connect Mansarovar via Lipulek — may have taken place at "someone's behest". "Everything we do is self-guided”, Oli said.

Oli also responded to an allegation that Chinese ambassador Hou Yanqi had aided him in saving his chair when he faced a visible revolt in his party earlier this month. "Some say a foreign ambassador saved me from falling... it's a government elected by the people of Nepal, and no one can throw me out,” he said.

Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is a member of Nepal Communist Party (NCP). Communist party and all communists side with China. In this regard, there is no surprise that Mr. Oli is saying things which China would be happy at, and doing things which China would be happy to see him doing. 

China is India's enemy. China is also a land-grabber which has grabbed lands of most of its neighbors, be it the country of Tibet, India or Pakistan. Nepali communists are no fools that they won't know these simple facts. If Nepali Communist PM Oli wants to make India as its enemy while being friends with Communist China, people of Nepal should wake up and see his designs. 

People of Nepal must understand what Nepali Communist Party is doing and show their power during elections.

Govt Pushes Reforms Unrelated to Coronavirus Crisis

The BJP government has announced a major opening up of defence production, power, space and coal and mining sectors for private participation. News reference: TOI

1. The government has decided to increase the FDI limit for defence production under the automatic route to 74%, from the current 49%.
2. The government also decided to push privatisation of power distribution companies after a gap of over a decade and said discoms in Union Territories will be privatised
3. In the space sector, the government for the first time announced its intent to allow the private sector to be a co-partner in future planetary exploration and outer space travel initiatives such as Chandrayaan and Mars mission. 
4. Govt has also opened up 500 coal mining blocks through open auction process. 

First of all, these announcements have nothing to do with the current Coronavirus crisis. Therefore it was not necessary to announce it while our country is already fighting Coronavirus crisis and we are not sure what our country's future will look like. I think it is not good to take far-reaching policy decisions during uncertain times. 

Is it that govt has done these decisions under pressure of some foreign countries which have big private companies in these sectors? Or is it that govt is purely attracting foreign capital? For example, if we look at space sector, India has zero "local" private companies with such a capability. Therefore, opening this sector for private companies essentially means that this sector has been opened up for the benefit of foreign companies.

At the moment, it seems that govt is trying to attract foreign capital with these policies. But these policies are not expected to do any real benefit now, since global companies would also not take investment decisions during these uncertain times. Therefore, the "timing" part of these decisions are always doubtful. 

As a policy, I support the idea to open up sectors for private operations since it will lead to overall rapid progress, development and also mass employment generation. This will also reduce corruption which is prevalent in government organizations. But I am against opening all sectors to foreign companies and govt should open up sectors for 100% FDI only in limited sectors and in a gradual manner. 

Why I think Swadeshi Push and Atmanirbhar Bharat Will be Largely Ineffective in Addressing the Problem

India is facing many crises today. One of the crises is that most of the great Indian companies are either being shutdown or being sold out to foreign firms. And it is not about profitability of business or value creation. Even innovative companies get sold and stakes in even large profitable companies get sold. The problem is serious and reflective of the problems our "economy" is facing. Be it Flipkart which got sold, or all Anil Ambani businesses which failed to take off, Jet Airways or any other airlines which shut down, or even Reliance Industries needing to sell stake in its profitable Jio business to reduce debt, the list is long. 

In the middle of the economic disaster of Lockdown and economy at near bottom, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a new slogan of "Atmanirbhar Bharat" (Self-Reliant India) and asked people to buy "Swadeshi". The great fan followers of PM Modi have lapped up the idea and started spreading the message. But many fans do not understand that the "version of Swadeshi" our Govt is promoting will by and large do not do any benefit to our economy. It is because in our Govt's version of "Swadeshi", even foreign companies' India units are treated at par with Indian companies. 

Therefore, except Chinese toys, there won't be much impact of Swadeshi push because most foreign companies are already manufacturing in India. Most of the items consumed in our household are already made in India. And I bet people will still buy Chinese phones, no matter what PM Modi or our govt says.

How many people are reading this and tweeting #atmanirbharbharat using their Chinese phones? Indians are cost conscious and have little real pride of their motherland. Remember, many Indians still take pride that their ancestors served in colonial era British army. Most Indians traveled or wanted to travel abroad for honeymoons after marriage - that is also how many brought Coronavirus to India and poor people are dying. If given a choice, most Indians will go settle down abroad. Just look at parents whose kids are settled abroad. Raising slogans is easy.

And Govt gets the share of blame too. After every big scheme launch from Govt, huge orders go to China. E.g. after International Yoga day was conceptualized, millions of yoga mats were bought from China. After Coronavirus outbreak too, testing kits were bought from China. Govt should first practice "Swadeshi" itself before preaching it to common people. 

As per our govt, buying a Toyota car, Unilever or P&G products are all "Swadeshi". One-by-one, all our Indian companies are getting sold out and our govt's version of "Swadeshi" will not stop it.

There is a good decision made by Govt that tenders below Rs 200 Crores won't be allowed to be global tenders. But this too is expected to be little impact since most of the MNCs which have India units will still take part in these tenders and can outbid Indian rivals. 

If our government is really serious about "Swadeshi", it should adopt it in its true and real version, not in this pseudo version where Indian units of Foreign companies are also treated at par with Indian companies. 

Maharashtra Train Accident: Not Correct To Blame Govt But If We Do Blame, Congress Gets It More

There has been a tragic accident in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, where 14 migrant workers have been run over by a goods train. The group of workers were traveling from Maharashtra to Madhya Pradesh by walking on the railway track. They were sleeping on the railway track in the darkness of night, when a goods train came. As per the news report, the driver of the train tried to apply the breaks but could not halt it before it hit the people. 14 people have died and several injured. 

Congress Party leaders have blamed Modi government for this:

Senior Congress leader Manish Tewari even accused Modi govt with treating people like "human fodder". 

First of all, this was a tragic accident due to human mistake. The workers had violated the Lockdown and were trying to leave on their own. Then the migrant workers were sleeping in the darkness of night over a railway track! The accident happened early morning at 5 am. We can't blame "government" or the Railways for this situation. Sleeping on railway track like this was plain foolishness. Even God can't save people all the time people do such foolishness. 

If Congress Party leaders want to "blame" Modi government for this, then first it should look within. This accident happened in Maharashtra which is ruled by Con Party too in an alliance. Is it that Con Party is trying to hide the rotten state of affairs in Maharashtra by accusing Modi Sarkar? 

Why were these migrant workers forced to leave Maharashtra? Why were these migrant workers allowed to violate "Lockdown"?

We had seen such problems before when a large number of people gathered near Kurla station on the rumors of special trains to take them to home states. Maharashtra state government failed to prevent the gathering as well as dispelling them quickly. State government does get some blame if migrants are fleeing the state in this manner, violating the lock down. 

The migrants getting killed in this accident is a sorry news. But if Con Party wants to do politics over it, then it is in rough pitch itself.
