    Swachh Bharat Abhiyan a big Fail?

    I am not claiming it has failed. But the program is called clean india program and primary focus is on clean up. You can check their site or wiki page.

    BJP can do course correction.. Here it is..

    Nope. WSJ didn't say that. They projected it two years ago. Piyush Goyal claimed that we are at number 5 position citing that WsJ projection this week. It's in your post twitter forward. The only rise in position was in 2015.

    BJP can do course correction.. Here it is..

    Thought Piyush Goyal alteast was a better person. That graph is as of 2016. Two years after the goverment. The rank for 2017 and 2018 were predictions. We are at 7th position still. Same as 2015 (one year after the government) To be sure Piyush Goyal peddled this lie in may 2018

    Health & Fitness Samples of Mother Dairy and Amul found to be of substandard quality

    There is prideofcows available locally in navi mumbai. They claim not to collect milk like co ops and milks only from their own cows. Milk is good but at 90 rs per liter. During jallikattu protest few people in chennai came forward to sell milk directly from cow owners. Think it was 27 rs per...

    Your thoughts on the BJP's govt. claim of "Every village in the country has been electrified."

    So villages which never saw connection to grid till 2010 is low hanging fruit. And four years later, on 2014, the ones left over were tough nuts. How exactly does one buy such stuff. Even if one buys that, what would one recon the percentage of low changing fruits are there in the fy10 18000...

    Your thoughts on the BJP's govt. claim of "Every village in the country has been electrified."

    ‘It is possible and it is an achievement.’ Let’s start with achievement. In 2010 upa 2 electrified 18000 + villages in a single year. BJP did that number in 4 years. So this isn’t an achievement for a government flagship project. Now possible. This is what is possible...

    GST and its impact on YOU!

    Even if the officials are present, there is nothing much they can do. There are too many omissions and gaps in the notification by government. This is however normal. However the current government is also poor in rectifying it with additional notifications that the concerned official cannot...

    Pensioners going to be next major causalities of Aadhar

    Government also provides food and aids treatment to curb atleast death. Apparently aadhar linkages have resulted in deaths in these cases. It is easier to balance budget by making ration food or med or pension handouts difficult to get. Their priorities are clear...

    Maggi and the soup its in

    Reminds me of the plachimada case. When the locals at plachimada protested, every Keralite I have listened to have blamed the locals for the protest. Reason - Coca Cola being a famous foreign brand would have acted responsibly. With time they were proven to be wrong. I wasn’t around when...

    Hyperloop One in India

    All techs mentioned- computers, mobiles, cabs- were prohibitively expensive at the start of their cycle (with respect to their utility). So telling that they were cheap and common at a much later mature cycle is a baseless comparison. The nation did invest in expensive items - defence...

    Holy Cow! What is going on..

    Formalised economy doesn’t mean utopia. Even the most advanced economy will have dirty money. But it won’t be in loose change anymore. It will be more concentrated in the hands of fewer people.

    Holy Cow! What is going on..

    Not just mastermind. Their leadership is very clear on what’s to be done. This is what Amit Shah told about demonetisation recently: “I definitely believe that the formal economy has increased due to demonetisation. Money lying at various places is now part of the economy,” Their various...

    Blue Whale Challenge

    This is probably another kalabhandar type of scenario gaining traction only because people love b**ching 'kids these days'. There is nothing going on other than teenage issues and suicides. People are jumping to the conclusion that this is due to blue whale. Check the link posted by op, it...

    Holy Cow! What is going on..

    The toll is same on both sides: http://factchecker.in/in-north-kerala-hotbed-of-bjprss-cpm-clashes-roughly-equal-deaths/ However the trend is that national media puts up the news only when the attack was on Sangh and not when by them. Some news media doesn't even report that this was in...
