What is your definition of ‘Achhe Din’?
My answer is yes, these have started, if you have the definition, as I have of ‘Achhe din’.
Let us see, if we are on the same wavelength to measure ‘Achhe Din”
I am happy that 76% of Indians have similar definition of ‘Achhe Din” as I have. I am part of majority of our country, who keep the Nation above each and everything, and belive that ‘Acche Din’ have started.
He knelt before entering Parliament, a temple of democracy, my eyes got wet. I will live rest of my life cherishing that moment.
Now, I open newspaper daily with positive outlook without fear of headlines of corrupt and corruption news eating my Nation and its resources by greedy ‘political breed of termite’.
My level of pride as an Indian has crossed all bounds of happiness. World look towards me with great respect and as a citizen of a Nation whose Prime Minister has a clean image who thinks globally but acts locally.
The PM has brought me out of the hopeless situation, I was in, for the last one decade. Though, I was promised to control inflation within 100 days by previous dispensation but it miserably failed rather blamed me with reverse arguments that I eat more food. But, I am of the opinion they ate my Nation by selling ‘motherland’ and its resources for a song.
Earlier, I paid Rs. 40-48 for a Kg of Sugar and Rs. 80-100 for a Kg of Onion. I could not afford to eat even medium quality of Rice @ of Rs. 100-130 a Kg from 2006-2014. At times, I paid Rs. 50 for a Kg of Potato. I coughed out Rs. 26-28 a Kg for Wheat Flour (Chakki). The list is endless.
A sigh of relief, at last.
Now, I get good quality of Rice at Rs. 50 or Rs. 60 a Kg and price of Onion never crossed Rs. 30-35 a Kg, so far since May, 2014. Perhaps, the price of Sugar has come down to its lowest of the decade at Rs. 25-26 a Kg and Wheat Flour (Chakki), I get at Rs. 21 in Chandigarh, which I have been told is available for Rs. 18 a Kg in many cities of Punjab.
My hopes of Clean Ganges and all cities of religious importance have increased, once my beloved Prime Minister has taken personal and serious interest.
Soon, people of J&K will stop saying me, you are from India. My beloved Prime Minister has various dream projects to bring the J&K in mainstream. Perhaps, he is the only Prime Minister after independence who visited J&K 3-4 times within a short span of 12-14 months. His party has gained significantly, which is a clear indication of popularity of his National welfare schemes and programmes besides his personal image.
He worked dispassionately when J&K faced worst ever floods of century and extended all types of support to rescue, provide shelter and rehabilitate them.
Now, I never curse myself as a hapless citizen of a country, who never dares to give befitting reply to a neighbor Nation and hands of whose soldiers were tied behind. Now, the morally bankrupt and defunct neighbor country knows, he will have to heavily pay for his each mischief at LOC / Border. Our soldiers can take their own decisions to protect the motherland and themselves at Border.
“Any Mumbai like attack from Pakistan and Pakistan will lose Baluchistan!” That’s the language of deterrence that I wanted to hear as an Indian. We won’t hit first, but if you do, we surely won’t turn the other cheek…. . . .
Naxalite movements in East and Northeast has eased to some extent. Historical pact with Bangladesh may help to stop entry of illegal migrants.
Indian Air defense was getting weaker because of policy paralysis, despite warnings by armed forces. PM renegotiated Rafle with France. No middlemen, no commission.
Perhaps, this is the part of my definition of ‘Achhe Din’.
Anarchy and nepotism have been curbed with iron hands by my beloved Prime Minister. Jobs and tenders are not for sale anymore but are given on merits. The income from Coal Blocks and Telecom Spectrum, etc. have filled my National treasury for utilization on development projects.
Now, I feel a Government running my Nation. The redtapism and policy paralysis have been replaced with transparency, good governance and inclusive growth and development. Thousands of pending projects of Highways, Railways, Bridges, Rivers, Stadiums, Schools, Colleges, Universities / IITs/ IIMs., Hospitals and Research Institutes have been restarted and completed with utmost sensitivity.
Now, I am hopeful, our Nation will get rid of illiteracy particularly of girl child.
‘Beti Bacaho, Beti Padhao’, no one even dreamed such projects in last 65 years.
No girl child will leave her studies in between for simply want of a ‘Toilet’ in school. More than 2,50,000 new toilets have been constructed in schools.
His vision of ‘Skill India’, ‘Make in India’ will definitely help to deal with menace and monster of unemployment besides saving Foreign Exchange.
My beloved Prime Minister has no personal agenda. Like others, he has not moved his family and extended family to 7 RCR or even in New Delhi. His own mother still lives in a small house and brothers and sisters live a normal life of Government servant or small time business persons.
Perhaps, the only Head of a State took oath, whose oath ceremony was not even attended by her own mother, what to talk of family or extended family.
He knelt before entering Parliament, a temple of democracy, my eyes got wet. I will live rest of my life cherishing that moment.
Perhaps, this is the part of my definition of ‘Achhe Din’.
Now, I feed holy Cow with pride and do not live with guilty conscience of seeing her cut for human consumption and even exported as beef. My religious sentiments have got a soothing touch with the landmark and historic decisions taken by my beloved Prime Minister and many State Governments have followed suit.
People spreading communal hatred and breeding terrorism are scared now. No anti-National will even dream of harbouring and providing logistical support to foreign sponsored terrorist much less resorting to terrorist activities. They know, they will be hanged even if pseudo secularist may shed tears and cry hoarse, the appeasement policy will not work anymore. My Prime Minister means business and does not like to compromise with the safety and security of Nation and its citizen. The IRONMAN knows his job very well and works for 16-18 hours a day. His passion and love for development of Nation is giving desired inner strength to him. Swatch Bharat, Jan Dhan Yojna, Model Gram, etc. will help inclusive growth, it may take little time.
My Prime Minister attached cord with my fellow countrymen with ‘Man Ki Baat”.
Perhaps, this is also the part of my definition of ‘Achhe Din’.
Suddenly, our image at International level has significantly improved. His perfect foreign diplomacy and clean image has helped to restore the confidence of foreign investors and improved diplomatic relations.
US, CHINA, JAPAN and many countries have agreed to invest in infrastructure and to build ‘Smart Cities” Trade Deficit has gone down.
President of USA accepted his invitation to attend Republic Day parade. It was a moment of pride for all of us. Icing on the cake, PM convinced President Obama to drop Nuclear Rule of fuel tracking and sorted out Liabilities Rules.
Sri Lanka rejected projects to China and given these to Indian companies.
India will make the biggest dam at Nepal, China was trying hard to get it. India will get 83% Green energy.
Indian managed to get 4500 plus Indians from war zone in Yemen and also brought foreign nationals.Ms. sushma Swaraj, V. K. singh and Ajit Doval were personally involved, never heard before.
Canada agreed to supply Uranium.
You will agree that no corrupt politician or political party could have ever made an appeal to leave subsidy (LPG). Will such a political party get a positive response, if it do so? My beloved Prime Minister has dared to make this appeal to leave LPG subsidy. He is getting positive response to transfer the benefit to poorest of poor. I am proud of him. He has given me a chance of pride in leaving LPG subsidy of about Rs. 300-400 a month.
Though, I was born and lived in an environment of corrupt and corruption yet I never felt so embarrassed and humiliated before the past dispensation tried to shield and protect corrupt and corruption unethically with brazen.
The corrupt and corruption no more haunt and worry me. It had died a natural death at the highest level of Government, I hope, our PM will succeed to eradicate it at lower level also with maximum Governance and minimum Government with much better ‘Citizen Charters” in place.
Perhaps, this is also the part of my definition of ‘Achhe Din’.
