Why can't we do away with bi-elections? Hissar-a case in Point

If we kep in to consideration the collosus expenditure in terms of money and time both apart from the damage the bi-elections inflict on state governance- for a month Ministers are seen camping at the constituency undergoing bi elections, it will be appropriate to amend the constitution and do away with bi-elections.



The party can be given the option to nominate a person from the same constituency or the same family.

Country is slowly drifting towards political instability

Country is slowly drifting towards political instability





When I consider the conduct of regional parties in last twenty years who see virtue in advancing their own interests, I feel it is absolutely important for our country that either BJP or Congress win 250 seats in the next elections, though neither of the two look like achieving even 180. Congess is in for more difficult situation in view of Sonia's illness and Andhra developments which gave party maximum seats in the last to elections.But, at the same time nothing encouraging is there on the wall for BJP. Party does not have any programme which may attract voters.Thus I can see difficult time for the country in coming days. I don’t see much difference between these two parties except that Congress in centrally rather family controlled and BJP have its satraps who tactfully keep central leadership at bay and provide better governance in their respective states than their congress counterparts.



Both parties have good leaders. Congress should project A.K. Antony or Rahul as the future PM, rather best course would be to replace Manmohan Singh by either of these two at this juncture itself. I will prefer Antony to Rahul because Rahul does not give the impression of a person who will relish being on the seat of power contrary to what one had seen in Indira Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi in seventies. Rahul is more of a silent crusador who seems enjoying himself that role.Likewise BJP should give its command to Narender Modi without caring much for what media says about him. Nitish can be the second choice. Modi is the one person who is liked by the people from all walks. If people could forget similar allegation made on Rajiv then why there is so much fuss about Modi. Any PM has to be a mass leader. Country can not afford another Manmohan Singh. Thus BJP should forget about Sushma or jaitley who can not win even their seats on their own.Why Sushma who is from Ambala and spent initial few years of politics in Ambala only should avoid contesting from Ambala and instead beg a safe seat for her from the Madhya Pradesh CM. Such people have no right to aspire for the leadership of the country.

Both Kapil Dev and M.S. Dhoni are DAV products

It is really a great feeling for any institution to have country’s two World Cup winning captains to be its products.
I feel that the four noble souls to whom country will remain indebted for the grand work being done by DAV institution to spread literacy are-Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati who gave the slogan “Spread knowledge and vanish ignorance”. The other three are Mahatma Hansraj, Lala Lajpat Rai and Gurudat Vidyarthi who spearheaded the proposal in 1883 just after the untimely demise of Swami Dayanand to create memoriam in the shape of DAV educational institutions as a tribute to that great sage.

To create temples of learning rather than temples with some gods inside reflects the radical thinking of the great institution –Arya Samaj founded by Maharishi Dayanand Sarswati .
