RE: FW: People will Watch You

Dear Shashi,

Change is the only " constant "  !

Remember , AAP can show its performance , only if it is in a position to perform

Viz ;

A stable AAP government - without the "  sword of support   " constantly hanging over its head

The    Sinking   Ship   ?

It is said ,

"  When a ship is about to sink , the rats desert it  "

Is Congress , a sinking ship  ?

Here are some reasons to believe so :

>   Some years back , TMC deserted it

>   Ever since A Raja / Kanimozi episode , DMK was threatening to leave it .

     This finally happened last week

>   On issue of Telengana , TSR left sometime back. Now Kiran Reddy is

     about to leave

>   Last week , Prafull Patel gave a hint that NCP is getting ready to leave ,

     when he he asked Congress to own up all of its past mistakes , starting

     with 2G Scam

     Earlier , Sharad Powar had made it amply clear that he won't work under

     Rahul Gandhi as a PM

    

>   Having got a " Clean Chit " from CBI in the dis-proportionate assets case

     Mulayam has started distancing himself from Congress

>   Having got special status for Bihar , Nitish has ceased to cozy-up

And now , to top it all , Congress workers ( motivated by Sheila Dikshit / JP Agarwal  ? ) , are demanding that Congress withdraw its " Outside Support " to AAP

For a " Re-born Reformist " Rahul ,  it is a classical case of ,

" Dammed  if I do , dammed if I don't "

If he agrees to withdraw support BEFORE the swearing - in ceremony  scheduled tomorrow , he will stand exposed as a fickle-minded and a foolish leader , who cannot be trusted , even by friends !

If he decides to withdraw support AFTER the swearing-in , ( by voting against the confidence vote , mandatory for a minority government ), people of Delhi would hold HIM responsible for bringing down AAP government

And that would make Arvind Kejriwal , a martyr  !

And further ensure that in a re-poll , AAP returns to power with a thumping majority and Congress loses , even those 8 seats  !

From the view-point of 2014 elections , such a total rout of Congress in Delhi , would be a dream-come-true for BJP  !

But I hope , Arvind - and his party men -  realize that :

>   Sinking of the Congress-Ship , is neither their objective , nor a priority

     Leave that job to BJP  !

>   Delivering on pro-poor reforms is their priority No ONE

>   To be able to deliver these reforms , it is necessary for AAP to assume

      power - then survive Confidence Vote to retain that power

>   To remain in power ( a noble cause  ), they need continued support of Congress

>   For Rahul to quell his internal mutiny ( engineered by the sitting

     Congress MLAs who suffered at the hands of AAP candidates ) , AAP

     must not push him to the wall !

>   If AAP goes after the past corruption cases of defeated Congressmen

     ( - and women  ? ) with vengeance , Rahul will be left with no option

     but to withdraw support

DEAR   ARVIND

When there is re-election ( there is no alternative ) , I am sure AAP will win with absolute majority

World   is   Watching  !

It is not only India

Entire world is watching what has happened - and continues to happen - in Delhi

Oppressed people of Tunisia , Libya , Iraq , Egypt , Yemen , and now Syria , took up arms and fought bloody battles to liberate themselves from the tyranny of dictators

Of course , in no small measure , due to covert help from the Western world

But India is the land of Gandhi ( - the ancient one , not the Dynasty ! )

And peace-loving people of Delhi needed no outside help to throw out Congress and give a mandate to BJP and AAP

But a fractured mandate that gives no party a clear majority  !

Apparently , people of Delhi failed to appreciate that a coalition government is a government that gets blackmailed by its coalition partners , whose sole aim is to make a ton of money  !

Exactly what has been happening at the Centre for the past 5 years , rendering UPA -2 , a Spineless Spectacle  !

Arvind Kejriwal realized this a long time back and over the past 6 months , repeatedly said ,

"  We will neither support any party , nor seek support from anyone  "

He is absolutely right when he refuses to form a minority-led government , under constant threats from corrupt partners

What next  ?

Although President's Rule is an immediate possibility , it is a pointless postponement of what is inevitable , viz :

RE-ELECTION

Let us get over it fast

Let us face the harsh reality of parliamentary democratic process

If people of Delhi want a stable / accountable / corruption-free government , then let them go to the polling booths  ONCE AGAIN , and give AAP , at least 40  SEATS

Let their message ring loud and clear , across the length and breadth of India , proclaiming :

"  Brothers and Sisters,

   If you want to get rid of corruption , give AAP , an ABSOLUTE

   MAJORITY  in 2014 National Elections

   NOTHING  LESS  WILL  BE  ENOUGH  TO  LIBERATE  YOU

   If you hesitate , and split your vote , you will have only yourself to

   blame  for your continued suffering "

Unsolicited  Advice  to  Arvind  Kejriwal

Dear Arvind ,

Congratulations to people of Delhi for reposing their faith in AAP

It would have been nice if AAP were to form the government

However , it will be much " nicer " that you will sit in the Assembly as a " Responsible / Constructive " opposition !

And learn your first lessons in functioning of parliamentary democracy

Remember , people of entire country will watch , how you conduct yourself

Will you continue with ,

>  Mud-slinging / Gallies / Abuses

>  Personal attacks re: corruption

>  Negativism / Sulking

>  " Holier - than - Thou "  attitude

Or ,

Whether you will ,

>   Be " Positive rather than Negative "

>   Be  "  Pro-active rather than Re-active "

>   Without waiting for BJP to introduce , take the initiative to introduce

     relevant Bills in the Assembly in respect of following items of BJP's

     Poll Manifesto

EDUCATION

>  Reserve 85 % seats in Delhi colleges for local students

WOMEN & CHILDREN

>   Set-up more fast track courts for speedy trial of women-related cases

LAW & ORDER

>  Set up 24 hour help-line

SC / ST / MINORITIES

>  Ensure speedy justice in the 1984 riots

URBAN DEVELOPMENT

>  Build tower blocks for slum-dwellers

WATER

>  Rationalize water tariff

POWER

>  Reduce tariff by 30 %

TRANSPORT

>  Introduce a centralized traffic plan

JOBS

>  Provide easy loans for self employment

OTHERS

>  Make Lok-Ayukta, an effective institution with sufficient powers

By being FIRST to introduce these Bills , you will prove to the people of India that,

"  Role of opposition is not confined to simply oppose whatever bills get introduced by the Government in power , but take upon itself to introduce whatever bills it considers vital for the welfare of the people who voted for them - and ALL the other voters who DID NOT vote for them  "

I believe your Lok Ayukta Bill is ready ( since you had planned to pass it on 29th Dec )

So , how about introducing that as an " Opposition Bill " as soon as Assembly gets convened ?

For a change , how about putting the ruling party on its back - foot ?

By being " Offensive " , you will put the BJP on the " Defensive "  !

Then people will know how sincere is BJP with its poll promises  !

For long , you have been talking of a " different kind of politics "

Now is your chance to convert  your  " Hypothesis " into a " Theory " !

Remember ,

Whether people of India will vote for AAP or not in 2014 , will depend upon you performance as a Constructive Opposition , during the next 6 months

Watch out for the Trap

Dear Pulkit  etc,

I would request you to pass on to Arvind my following blog

Thanks and regards

Prophets   of   Doom   ?

Since yesterday morning when Arvind Kejriwal announced that AAP will form a government in Delhi , prophets of doom have sprung into action everywhere - mostly on TV

They are saying :

>   AAP government cannot deliver on its impractical poll promises

>   AAP has sacrificed its principle of taking no support

>   AAP has betrayed the people of Delhi

>   AAP is lusting for power - like all other parties

>   AAP has no experience in running a government

>   People will soon get disillusioned with AAP...............etc

Then there are some who are not happy being mere dooms-dayer  !

They want to pro-actively  bring about the downfall of AAP by laying a carefully concealed trap for AAP to walk into  !

Take Dr Harshvardhan of BJP

He challenges AAP government to arrest / prosecute within next 30 days , those persons who were held guilty by the Shunglu Commission , in respect of CWG scam

Being a polite gentleman , he does not name names ( Sheila Dikshit ? )

He says , exposing and punishing the corrupt is an important poll promise of AAP

You would think Sheila Dikshit would get offended with Dr Harshvardhan

Oh , but No !

Quite the contrary

She too wants Arvind to walk into this trap  !

That would give her just the desired excuse to withdraw that " Outside Support " of Congress to bring down the AAP government

I hope Arvind is smart enough to see through these macabre machinations of mediocre minions , who want to lead AAP , up a garden path  !

DEAR  ARVIND ,

Exposing the corrupt is  " IMPORTANT - but not URGENT "

It is NOT your priority No 1

Delivering pro-poor reforms is both " IMPORTANT and URGENT "

Stay your course and watch out for the traps

Remaining honest in the days to come is far more important than exposing the corruption of the past

How   long   ?

By afternoon today , it will no more be a question ,

"  Will AAP form a government in Delhi  ? "

Over the past 10 days , people of Delhi have decided that

Question will be ,

"  How long will that government last  ?  "

My guess :

It will last until after the 2014 national elections

Neither Congress , nor BJP want to run the risk of a re-poll in Delhi

They know that they will get wiped out in case of a re-poll

But one thing is certain

Despite its desire to keep BJP out of power in Delhi by propping up AAP , Congress will withdraw its " outside support ' , if pushed to the wall by AAP

That would depend on what are AAP's priorities , viz:

>  Deliver on its promises of " pro-poor " reforms ( water / power / prices )

OR

>  Launch a barrage of " anti - congress " / " anti-corruption " investigations

Any attempt to embarrass / humiliate Congress , at this stage, will backfire  !

If that happens , Congress will not hesitate for a re-poll ,- come what may  !

The questions that AAP leaders must debate this morning , are :

>  Can we fulfill our promises to people without getting uninterrupted 6

    months to perform  ?

   

>  What is more important in the short - term  from viewpoint of Delhi-ites ?

>  If we do not get next 6 months to carry out our reforms , can we make

    a meaningful impact on 760 million voters in 2014  ?

>  If Congress withdraws its outside support after 2 months , will BJP come

    forward to support or will they gloat , " We had told you AAP can't last "

>   What will we achieve by focusing on past corrupt deeds of Congress ?

     People already know about these . How will exposing these deeds help

     people right now ?

>   Should not our TOP-MOST priority be to offer good governance  ?

>   Can we not leave this matter ( of past corrupt deeds ) to Jan-lokpal

     and the judiciary  ?

Dear Arvind ,

If  you have learned your " Game Theory " ( John Nash ) well at IIT , you are expected to be a " Rational Player " , whose sole focus is ,

"  Forget about the dis-advantages of the opponent ( in this case , discomfiture of Congress ) . That is NOT the winning strategy

What move will secure AAP's long-term advantage ?  "

I am not asking you to compromise with your principles

Just get your priority right  !

No   Option   ?

Arvind Kejriwal is left with no option but to form the government in Delhi

By agreeing with almost all the conditions stipulated by him , Congress has left him with no excuse , not to form a government

Although it is difficult to say what motivated Congress to accept AAP's conditions , here is my guess :

>   As in the case of " Tainted MPs " ordinance , Rahul Gandhi forced the

     issue , because he too , genuinely believes in decentralization of

     democracy

>   By hook or by crook , Congress wants to keep BJP out of power in Delhi

>   Congress may have realized that in case of a re-poll , it would end up

     losing even its current 8 seats . A terrible omen for 2014 elections !

>   In any case , on most of the issues raised by AAP , there is a lot of

     commonality in the poll manifestos of Congress and AAP

     Not accepting AAP's conditions would be tantamount to saying ,

     "  But our poll promises hold good only if we are voted to power  "  !

>   In view of the 2014 national elections , Congress wants AAP to remain

     pre-occupied with governance of Delhi , effectively putting a brake on its

     national ambitions

>   By agreeing , Congress wants to divert the attention of the people from

     its murky past and let them focus on the re-invented image of ,

     "  Congress - the Reformer  "

>   If , with its backing , AAP succeeds in delivering good governance in the

     next 6 months , Congress can share the credit of being , " Pro Poor

    People "

    That would enable Congress to tell 760 million voters ,

    "  We can deliver good governance nation-wide, if you vote for us "

At this point of time , trying to figure out the motives of Congress is irrelevant

It is entirely possible that , on the condition of strong Lok Ayukt in Delhi , counter-condition of Congress , could be a trap for AAP to walk in  !

But knowing that fully , AAP must take the risk  !

When he went to attend the second Round Table Conference in London ( 1931 ) , Mahatma Gandhi realized that it was going to be a failure

He was acutely aware of the trap laid by the British

But he saw that the hopes of millions of Indians fighting his non-violent movement , were riding on his trip

So he went

My uncle , poet  Meghani  sent following poem to Mahatma :

"  Even as you know the futility of your mission ,

   O  Bapu ,

   Drink this last cup of hemlock ( poison ),

   You ,

   Who have drank oceans of poison

   Served by the British ,

   Do not throw away this spoonful  "

Poor people of Delhi are saying something similar to Arvind , today  !

Database of Professional Associations

Dear Team

Occasionally , " Professional Associations " are also called " Societies "

In either case , members are individuals / persons , belonging to a particular Profession / Craft / Skill

Eg:

> Institute of Chartered Accountants

> Institute of Engineers

> Association of Dentists

> Association of Heart Surgeons

> Delhi Bar Association

> Institute of Architects ...etc

We would like to build up a Database of such organizations - starting with Indian organizations

But later on , we will compile data of associations , all over the world

We will give preference to English-speaking countries

Then , in B2B web site , we will enable companies / businesses etc to be able to blast their " Marketing Messages " to such Associations , similar to " Chambers of Commerce "

Why would a company / business , want to blast its Marketing Message to an " Association " ?

Eg;

> A company brings out an energy-efficient Air Conditioner . It must spread this info amongst people who " influence " the decision to buy an Air Conditioner , - in this case , members of " Institute of Architects "

   Company can send its Marketing Message to the Institute , requesting it to forward its promotional email to its members

   Most institutes are happy to circulate such info amongst its members

> A company brings out a novel Circuit Breaker

   It would write to " Institute of Maintenance Engineers "

> A company designs a Dentist Chair . It would write to " Asso of Dentists "

> A company comes out with a " Accounting Software " package . It would write to " Institute of Chartered Accountants "

Remember ,

Each " Purchase Decision " ( whether , for a product or a service ) is taken by an " Individual " - who may or may not be the " Purchase Manager " of an organization

A marketer must " target " such a decision-maker

And , in most cases , such Decision Makers , are members of their Professional Organization

Sometimes , even members of International Organizations

Every company / business , employs professionals , who belong to some or other Professional Organizations

Easiest way to reach-out to them , is thru their Professional Organizations

For some time now , Manoj and Sanjivani , have been trying to find links of web sites where we can find a list of such Associations

It is necessary to step up such search

They may wish to look up following web sites :

> JustDial

> Sulekha

> Getit.in

> IndiaMart

> Yellowpages.co.in

> HotFrog.in

> CitizensIndia

> BizMax.in

Kailas should focus on finding Database Vendors , who may have such database readily available with them

We need following minimum info :

> Name of Association

> Country

> City

> Email Id

> Web URL ( optional )

I am sure , Tushar can do some R&D himself

hcp

PS :

Let us say , Sonal has a mandate for finding a " Materials Manager " for Paradip Phosphate

It might make her task of headhunting easy , if she were to send out a message to the " Indian Institute of Materials Managers " - of course , without revealing the identity of our client

May be IIMM , would forward her email to its 9800 members all over India !

When jobs are getting scarce , I would think that an association may want to help its members by circulating such Vacancies
