Presidential Election

-
Now the stage has been set for Pranab Mukerjee to be elected as the 14th President of India. After much dithering Sangma has been chosen as the opposition's candidate. Pranab must be feeling greatly relieved as he can no longer preside over the economy which is now in shambles as Finance Minister. The UPA it appears is ready to run away as the problems are aplenty.  Day in and day out there are corruption charges. The latest being the corruption charge against the Union Minister Virabhadra Singh who has resigned today. If UPA's problems are full. the Opposition is no exception. NDA constituents are fighting among themselves as to who should be the PM eventhough the election is a far cry ie in 2014. The Left is left out. In the Presidential election they do not know whom to support. Should they support Pranab as a Bengali or Sangma as a tribal. Ultimately they have rooted for Pranab. Bengali is better than a tribal. CPI has chosen to abstain. So much for their concern for the downtrodden and so much for their opposition to the Congress. Shiv sena opposes Congress but supports  the Congress candidate. Mamata does not want to support Pranab but also does not want to support Sangma as She wants to be in UPA. Whom will she support only she knows.

There is utter turmoil. No governance let alone good governance. People of our country have been left in the lurch. Only God can save our country from this political tsunami.

CAPITOL CARNAGE OF DEMOCRACY

-
  Right from Nov.3,2020 when the results of the Presidential election started trickling and when President Trump knew that he was on back foot, he started creating problems.   He refused to accept defeat and vowed that there would not be smooth transition of power. All the swing states voted against Trump. Though he had about 75 million popular votes he could not make it. On the other hand Joe Biden had more than 81 million popular votes and also 306 electoral college votes in his favour. Mr. Trump could not digest his defeat. He called the election a fraud. He questioned the postal ballot system. He later questioned   the integrity of the electoral process itself. He refused to accept the people’s verdict. He challenged the election in state after state. He had in fact filed 60 law suits challenging the verdicts in different states.   All the law suits were dismissed. When the Congress convened to formally declare Joe Biden as President on the 7 th Jan 2021 at Capitol Hill, he urged

Balaji Darshan

On 26th of May 2012 we family members numbering 12 went to Tirumala. The journey from Chennai to Tirupathi was good and we reached there within 4 hours by a private Tempo Traveller. From Tirupathi to Tirumala we went by Govt. bus. The entire journey was splendid. We thought we would finish Darshan of Balaji within 3 to 4 hours and return to Chennai by evening of 26th. But the Lord had other ideas. We stood in the queue for Rs.300 at 11.10 a.m. Slowly we meandered our way. We went from one shelter to another. No one knew where the queue ended. The shelters had been built in such a way that it takes you around the temple. While standing in the queue we helped ourselves with fruits, biscuits etc. Nobody had lunch except the morning breakfast. As time passed our hunger increased. We went on and on and on. Hours passed. one ,two, three, four ,five, six and so on. Our energy sapped. Hunger increased hunger turned to anger. Words were exchanged as my brother in law who is a diabetic and wh

MUMBAI: Market regulator Securities & Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Friday barred two Anil Ambani group companies, Reliance Infrastructure (R-Infra) and Reliance Natural Resources Ltd (RNRL), from investing in the secondary markets till December 2012 for alleged unfair market dealings. Ambani and four senior executives face a similar ban that ends this December. In addition, a penalty of Rs 50 crore was imposed on the companies, the executives and Ambani.

Also because RNRL has since been merged with R-Power, th
