Sunday Reflection

Next big event Mrs IG assassination and after .
There were riots when sikhs were targetted.Congress ggons and anti socials joined in and many lost their life and property.
Even now the sikh community is alienated .
I have reasons to remember as first child was born a year later and there was trouble on anniversary. I had to get curfew passes to go for maternity care and child birth and go hospital on bike with wife for delivery.
 
Now for pleasant things.
In 1958 Smt Shiela Dikshit of congress became CM for delhi. She rebuilt delhi into a modern city.
Large wide roads , flyovers bridges . DDA delhi development authority built lakhs of houses for weaker sections moddle income and high income groups. All salaried classes got flats for small amounts on instalment payments or self financing basis. All got flats at low prices.After mughal period this was a golden period for reconstruction of delhi.All in my family got seperate flats.I still own my flat which is worth more than a crore at todays prices.I paid jusr a few lakhs for it then.Shiela dikshit was CM for 15 years until 2014.She will be remembered fondly by delhi people. She had friends in all political parties.
She was a rajya sabha member after that and passed away a year or so later.
 

Reading the minds of voters, certain political parties craving for power, do make tall promises like we turn Delhi into Singapore or London, etc etc and the public also believe that the party, if voted to power, may make their colourful dreams comes true and finally end up as a victim of their greed.​


Delhi govt led by Arvind Kejriwal failed to deliver on 75% promises made: Detailed analysis of all 70 promises made in 2015​


Kejriwal's model of governance entails high-performance issuance of doles and subsidies which merely need paperwork to be signed in the comfort of the home office possibly, but wherever matters entail administrative implementation or coordination with other entities, the failure rate is alarming.

AAP has touted its 2020 manifesto as ‘Kejriwal ka Guarantee Card’. Going by the track record since 2015, such a guarantee card would actually guarantee a 75% failure rate of all the promises made by Kejriwal to Delhi. An objective analysis of AAP’s manifesto of 2015 reveals that Kejriwal’s government has not been able to implement 75% of its manifesto promises (based on average implementation % in the analysis of raw data). For a party that often invokes the maxim ‘Jo kaha so kiya’, a more apt catchphrase could be ‘Jo Kaha uska 25% kiya’.

Aam Aadmi Party’s Arvind Kejriwal has claimed that he will seek votes on the track record of his government’s performance in Delhi since 2015. He has also claimed that apart from Full Statehood, his government has delivered on all 70 promises made to the people.

Let’s take an objective look at AAP’s declared manifesto promises of 2015 and how the Kejriwal government has fared in fulfilling each of the promises. In this analysis, every Manifesto promise has been first broken down into tangible measurable targets that the manifesto mentioned, and open-source data was gleaned to determine the fulfilment of the target as also % implementation where ratios were available. Let’s take the example of AAP’s Manifesto Promise #9, ‘Water as a Right’, which entailed piped water to 14 lakh households and access to clean drinking water. Both the measurable targets have not been met, as this Reuters report from July 2019 clearly outlines the disparity in water availability between the rich and the poor in Delhi, the wanton use of tankers to overcome water shortage, indicating a complete lack of piped water supply to all households and a woeful inadequacy in clean drinking water even for the rich. This Reuters report also effectively counters AAP tracker portal’s claim updated in January 2017, that all households including unauthorized colonies would get piped water connections by December 2017.

TN govt does not do anything worthwhile for delhi tamils. It maintains TN house which caters to MPs and govt officials from TN.
AP Govt And Telengana have a common AP bhavan . They have a wonderful catering service besides serving outlet which provides excellent breakfasi and meals to all at subsidised rates.
They celebrate all cultural festivals in their auditorium. One can do bookings of TTD there besides ATM of Andhra bank.
Delhi tamils have their own schools and celebrate all festivals besides have their own theatre group. Our TN MPs have hardly done anything for local tamils .
 
Most delhi tamils head to western countries or US .Not many think of TN even after retirement.A few go back because of nosralgia and regret later .
Next generation youngsters marry locals and are happy with their choices.
 
Now, why should TN Govt do anything worthwhile to Delhi Tamils??

First of all they don’t belong to this State..they live at Delhi and speak Tamil. That is all. And that don’t give them any privilege.

They don’t live here and most important factor is they don’t contribute for any revenue by paying any tax to the State Govt.

They don’t vote for this Government to secure majority

The Ruling Party of the TN Govt has not made any commitment in its election manifesto to the Tamils of Delhi

AP Government and Telegana Govt. were bifurcated in June 2014 and whereas Andhra Bhavan at Delhi was estt.during the year 1956.

Why should Delhi Tamils expect anything from Tamil Nadu MPs?

We at Tamil Nadu don’t expect anything from AAP MPs at Delhi? And they also don’t do anything for the Tamils at TN.

As for Tamil Nadu House Canteen this is the place where one can get authentic south India Food at decent price and the Government ensures this.

1606392981107.png


Tamilians also celebrate festivals which are common at Delhi viz Holi, Navratri, Dussehra, Durga Puja, Diwali, Guru Nanak Jayanti, etc

What have the Delhi people do for the Tamil Boys who are studying at JNU? Do you know the difficulties experienced by them ??

But, on the contrary, here at IIM Madras other State students are taken care well

Above all, the ground reality is….

Tamil Nadu takes the top spot in Good Governance Index​

Tamil Nadu has topped the Good Governance Index among 18 big States in the country. The State was ranked among the top five in six parameters, including public infrastructure, judicial and public security and public health, among others. However, it lagged behind its competitors in the ranking for commerce and industries.​

People who are not covered under 67% reservation try to get away from TN - where they are recognized! Out of 150 candidates called for counseling for Medical admission (OC) 75 of them (50%) did not turn up. The high scorers in NEET obviously prefer central pooled seats and not the State quota . Younger geration prefer to get out of TN. The meritorious FC have every reason not to opt for TN.
 
Firstly who are dejhi tamils?
A huge chunk are tamil brahmins who are eased out of TN due to dravidian movement.
Reservation politics ensured that they didnot admission in colleges or stare govt jobs.
Many got into central govt jobs and movedto delhi.
In delhi they started tamil schools and promoted culture by theatre movement and teachildren fine arts music and dance.
They built theirown temples.
A significant number landed in delhi from erode and salem belt and became domestic workers.
TN govts only marginalised them.
2. Students joined Anna univ which admitted majority of studentsfrom state board with liberal marking system and turned out mediocre graduates fit to be fodder large IT companies.They did jobs fit for school finals and some later were sent abroad on assignments as slave labour.Those with central scool background got good high paying jobs
3cDelhi univ does not have normalisation for students of other states. So Anna univ students got admission in economics major. They could not cope and plucked.They also became homesick as they could not get home veg food .
3 TN govt could not help these in anyway.Labour
Class became school drop out and they became dometic workers and car cleaners and drivers.
4TN govt didnothing as they were not teirote
 
Students joined Anna univ which admitted majority of studentsfrom state board with liberal marking system and turned out mediocre graduates fit to be fodder large IT companies.They did jobs fit for school finals and some later were sent abroad on assignments as slave labour.Those with central scool background got good high paying jobs(358#)

TN doesn't want institute of eminence! The dont want Anna University to become one

Reason the admission will not be on 67% reservation but will be based on merit!

The only state that has no Navodya schools - because it will not be following 2 language formula.

Reservation and language policies at the cost merit

Remember the story about students from TN admitted to SRCC?
 

Under Arvind Kejriwal govt, enrolment & pass percentage have fallen in Delhi govt schools​

A report by NGO Praja Foundation highlights falling enrolment, poor retention and a massive drop in pass percentage in Delhi government schools.

 

Delhi govt PSUs incurred Rs 2,909 cr losses as on March 2018: CAG Report​

By March 2018, there were 18 state PSUs which included 16 government companies and two statutory corporations

The Delhi government's Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) incurred losses of Rs 2,909.83 crore as on March 2018, a CAG report tabled in the Assembly said on Tuesday.

 

Delhi's 3 civic bodies have outstanding loan of over Rs 3,000 cr: CAG​

Loans are provided to civic bodies on a quarterly basis under various projects and schemes and these are adjusted from the basic tax assignment due to them


Loans amounting to Rs 3814.89 cr were outstanding against the three municipal corporations in Delhi as on March 31 last year, according to a Comptroller and Audit or General (CAG) report released on Monday.


 

Delhi Jal Board yet to repay debt of over Rs 20,000 crore: CAG report​

No amount has been repaid in the last five years, said the CAG report

The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has an outstanding loan of more than Rs 26,000 crore and "no amount was repaid" in the last five years, according to a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report released on Monday.

"Total loans disbursed to the Delhi Jal Board since 1998-99 is Rs 26,620.04 crore, out of which only Rs 351.16 crore was repaid leaving Rs 26,268.89 crore as outstanding as on March 31, 2018," the audit report said.

"No amount has been repaid in the last five years. Interest liability on account of the outstanding loans of the Delhi Jal Board is under reconciliation by the Principal Accounts Office and the agencies concerned as intimated by Department of Urban Development, Delhi government," it said.

 
The Jallikattu protest was both an agitation and celebration of Tamil youth and their cultural identity with multiple narratives of socio-economic, political, cultural realities shared in the context of the politics of the state and India.

The jallikattu protests and the subsequent passing of the Bill making way for conducting the bull-embracing sport, has, among many other lessons, taught us that power of youth can be harnessed to make the State act, and that use of force is not the solution for enforcing law and order.

After jallikattu, what next? Tamil Nadu's young people seek to build on protests, push for change​

Social media activity coalesces anxieties around a variety of concerns.

Discontent with Dravidian parties?

Besides anger towards the Centre, there has been a growing feeling of discontentment with Dravidian parties over the past 10 years, especially the current AIADMK government, said Ramu Manivannan, professor and head of department of Politics and Public Administration of University of Madras.

After the death of Jayalalithaa, there has been political turmoil and a power tussle in the AIADMK. VK Sasikala, Jayalalithaa’s aide, is attempting to take over the reins of the state from O Panneerselvam, who took over after the popular leader’s death in December.

“Tamil Nadu, in the recent period, has been going through a turbulent political transition with the passing away of Jayalalithaa,” he said. “There is a big transition in the leadership. But the party did not perform for the last four years, and there was very little governance during that time. All the manifested in the form of an anger against the state, jallikattu being a more cultural rallying point it really moved people into action.”


According to Yuvaraja Muthusamy, state president of Tamil Maanila Congress’ youth wing, the impact of the protests may felt during the local body elections this year. “We may have more youngsters contesting as independent candidates,” he said. “But right now, no party can immediately benefit by the students. We have to wait and see who can take their votes.”

Aalur Shanavas, the deputy general secretary of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, said the protests may bring about polticial change, as their intensity and spread would prompt parties to think about revamping their way of functioning.

“After this protest, we are also motivated to look at where we went wrong,” said Shanavas. “We are discussing among ourselves why people have lost trust in politicians and what we may have done to incur their anger. We may have missed something somewhere.”

They can restrict temple timings
They can be told to believe in working hard to make a living.
They can scrap reservation of any sort for anyone.Banning all quotas can help.
 
First of all, we should stop compare Tamil Nadu with other Indian states. Every state has its own system. Similarly, Tamil Nadu Education has, time-tested unique one of having CBSE, State Syllabus, Matriculation and Anglo-Indian, .

Of course, in India education system is following the same Macaulay method.

TN tops GER in higher education in country: Governor Banwarilal Purohit​

Chennai:
The government’s efforts in this direction have resulted in the highest Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in Higher Education amongst all States in India at 49.3 per cent, he said, while participating in the golden jubilee celebrations of Sri Vidya Mandir Association here.

He said the government has opened new colleges, commenced new courses, invested in improving infrastructure, created more posts of teachers and filled teacher vacancies to make higher education more accessible and to enhance quality.

Stating that the contribution of the private sector to promote the cause of education has also been commendable, he said many philanthropic trusts have come forward to set up schools, colleges and universities in the State.

Observing that some of these institutions attract students from all over India and even from abroad, Purohit said these schools, both in the public and the private sectors, lay stress on the inculcation of skills that enable the students to get employed after completing their education.

‘’Today students want the education system to equip and stir their innovative and creative minds. They are the creators. A good system of education should be able to satisfy their insatiable hunger for knowledge’’, he added. He said education should also focus on inculcating moral values and national spirit in the students.

“Teachers in schools have extensive knowledge about their subjects and enormous experience in various facets of life. Their skill, learning and experience provide them with the necessary capability to mould the student in a manner that is helpful to him, to his family and to the society’’, he said and added that a society properly educated was always progressive, peaceful and prosperous.

This will elevate the young minds to love the country, to love other human beings. The right kind of education based on moral values will upgrade the society and the country, he said.

And that is why students from other State throng towards Tamil Nadu, they study here and settle better in in their life. It is enrichment of knowledge which is ensured. And the thread opener is not an exception.

If I remember right, the thread opener, has enrolled his children in Anna University. Why..? Is there no college/University at Delhi..?

Preaching is only for others lol.

They can scrap reservation of any sort reseefor anyone.Banning all quotas can help.(#368)

The reservation iist is like அனுமார் வால் ! - growing to monstrous length! day by day - Horizontal 7.5 % reservation for Govt. School Students in Medical admission this year. SC has struck down the 50% reservation for Govt.Doctors in super speciality Post doctoral courses which was upheld by Madras HC yesterday! இட ஒடுகில் கை வைப்பது தமிழனுக்கு அநீதி!
 

On the first day……​

Train services disrupted near Chennai as PMK men block tracks, cops register two cases​

"The miscreants will be booked under the relevant sections of the railways act for sabotaging railway property,” P Rajan, Superintendent of Police, GRP, Chennai, told The New Indian Express

On the first day of the agitation called by the PMK demanding 20 per cent reservation for Vanniyars, partymen picketed railway tracks in two places between Tambaram and Vandalur, resulting in disruption of train services for more than six hours on the Chennai – Chengalpattu section. Four express trains were delayed for two hours and over 30 workmen suburban specials suspended between Tambaram and Chengalpattu.

The PMK supporters placed long rail bars, empty electrical junction boxes, sand bags and iron barricades on the tracks obstructing train movement near Tambaram railway station. In another incident, partymen pelted stones at the Chennai-bound Ananthapuri Express between Vandalur and Perungalathur, damaging the locomotive.

There is a surge in digital transactions of late. UPI leading by 80% increase in December! IMPAS is free and available 24×7 . It is customer friendly and easy. But the banks are not interested in increasing the server capacities as per demand - as it is a free service. I sent ₹25000 to settle a bill towards Solar Heater for my Bangalore flat. Though the trasaction failed the amount was debited in account. This was reverted on the next day only. I believe as per RBI guidlines the banks will bear a penalty ₹100 per day. If not for this the thanks would take their time to revert the failure transactions!
 
Chennai and TN with cyclones hitting and heavy rains may not have much to show in terms of progress.Most of the state is living on freebies.Small scale and MSME are folding up.
Most left over TB are shifting to bangalore .
Only those living on state doles will continue there.
Dravidian politics has run its course. Film stars like Rajini or Kamal may not dent the electorate much.
Will TN get a new order led by manuvadi bjp?
