Modi a global leader

I wonder what holds them back ? Why not keep having surgical strikes and crush all terror camps and show you mean business rather than talk tough on TV shows. We have lost so many precious lives of our army men and for what ? The terrorists seem to be getting bolder and more daring as can be seen in the latest attack at Sunjuwan @ Jammu. The very fact that they managed to get inside the military camp , kill and wound so many and carry on fighting for almost 2 days shows that they are deadly and well trained.

Modi undoubtedly is a global leader but he should look at domestic issues to win and restore the confidence of citizen of India. We are fighting a war on terrorism as well economic issues and both are equally important.  

I will give you a first hand account having served many times in Kashmir Valley.  Fact is many local Kashmir youth are supporting anti India. The DM admitted it.  Carrying out  surgical strikes too frequently can lead to war and Pakistan has military parity.  Victory is not assured. They  are already carrying out surgical strikes through trained  fedyan.The solution is martial law in Kashmir and crushing or even eliminating the opponents even if they are locals.  The way things are heading we could lose Kashmir. 

Modi has to take hard decisions.  Is he up to it? 

I know how the situation is in J&K @MG Singh. I have worked in J&K for a long time in different areas including in Rajauri which is one of the most sensitive areas. I worked as project manager for my company undertaking steel girder bridge making projects for BRO and stayed either at project sites or army officers' mess in border areas. By the way I was in Rajauri sector during Kargil War totally cut off from rest of the world. My only way of communication was phone service provided to army personals inside the Company's headquarter or Regiment's office. 

I have been going to J&K ever since I was a student and being a curious type I talked to everyone about how they felt about Pakistan and India including Tanga wala, Taxi driver, restaurant owners, fruit sellers or even so-called reputed persons and everyone thought that they were better off with India. I did not see any women in Burkha those days and I am not ashamed to admit that I even made friends with some local boys and girls and went to the movies together. I am not surprised if Firdaus and Palladium cinema halls in Srinagar have been shutdown. They want to see Kashmir Valley back to medieval era with strict Islamic rules.

That is true! However, one look at the domestic issues is enough to tell us who are creating most of those issues. Modi is an intelligent person  and is prudent enough to realise that strong friendly and economic relationships with several countries are important to help India grow economically and so is working hard to do that. Sadly, the opposition and their allies are hellbent on making life hard for him on the domestic front and his energies are spent on unnecessary issues. When will opposition realise that they need to be equally supportive on several things that Modi is trying to do!

I have two points to make. A)  the job of the opposition iS to oppose not cooperate. Look at the way the Dems and Reps  are each others throats in USA. B)  Nehru was also a global leader but he failed as he neglected military.  No position of respect in world without military power.  Under Midi for 3 consequetive years military expenditure as % of GDP has come down. Military is rusting.  

He better beware.

Opposition is supposed to oppose but in a credible and intelligent manner. Not go visit the enemy country and openly seek help from them to bring down the prime minister of your country.

There are black sheep in the opposition, but who elects them?  In any case, Modi should not bother about the opposition and concentrate on keeping his flock together and fulfill the promises he made. The coming Karnataka polls will show where Modi stands.

A global leader is one who has tremedous resources at his command and can deploy them at a moment's notice. Verbosity does not make a workd leader. Also the role of opposition is not to support government policies butctonwuestion them. Bhaktas are now needlessly projecting and pleading.

Karnataka will not at all be easy for BJP because of  aa lac of credible leadership. In all fairness to him all the cases against Yediyurappa have been quashed by the high court of Karnataka under the Congress govt but the Congress brings up his name from time to time calling him corrupt while there is no proof unlike in Lalu and some their own leaders' cases. But the Congress and JDS has made sure that his image has been  tarnished ...another factor against BJP is the infighting within the party which does not inspire much confidence. With all that if they manage to win, the credit can only go to Mr Modi and the trust that people have in him.

@Vijay so the roles are cut out for Bhaktas and opposition now? Bhaktas will support blindly and the opposition will go down to any extent to oppose... not fair! There should be a rational view from both sides. 

Yes thee should be a rational view from both sides. But who will ball the cat first.

We, the people of this country will make them walk on a right path or be ready to be thrown out in oblivion. 

The people of India are not revolutionary, that's why India never had a revolution like in China, France Russia etc.  That the bane of India. The Indian people have been ruled for 1100 years and have lost the power of thinking!!!!

But we had the Independence struggle where many lives were sacrificed . 

Singh does not recognise democratic revolutions. Revolutions change governments. We have done it so many times. But as gun shots were not there Singh did not see (hear) them.

A revolution is a mass movement. Our democracy is flawed as voters are misled and 75% are uneducated and living hand to mouth existence. Such improvised people cannot have a revolution by vote. More they will vote for a man who gives them some money and food that day. No wonder so many convicted and corrupt win elections.

Funnily enough even Congress party speaks about how Modi is not caring about the vast majority of poverty stricken people of the nation, shame on them for having kept the vast majority poor after ruling the nation for 70 years. Either their leader is totally unaware of facts or too stupid to know the kind of statements he makes which actually throws spotlight on their own past performance

The current Congress leaders do not know what they are talking about. Their single aim is to get the power back which they did not think they could lose as badly as they did. They are certainly pointing 4 fingers to their own direction while pointing one finger to the ruling party. However, the ruling party will have to act fast in order to keep their own accountability as well responsibility.
