Droupadi Murmu in-spite of holding several important positions including the Gubernatorial position, She has always remained Quintessentially a simple and down to earth person,
standing her ground, also Honesty, humility and spirituality has been the part of her illustrative journey
The journey of the Droupadi Murmu, a prominent tribal leader and former Jharkhand governor to the presidential candidate of the BJP led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has been an exemplary,
her life-story is an epic of incredible loss and superhuman resilience, and a saga of constant struggle and upliftment in by sheer grit and determination.
Her life has been of searing sorrow, who has overcome all struggles and hardships in her life and made a way through poverty determination and dignity and made a mark in the public life,
and she is all set to be next and 15th president of India, she belongs to Santhal tribal adivasi community who are found in large number in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district,
who are considered the marginalised electoral group of the country.
The nomination of the tribal leader Droupadi Murmu as the next presidential candidate, definitely is a pathbreaking step in the history of post independent and the tribal populace's
prolonged neglect in the country after the Independence of India is being addressed albeit symbolically, thus her choice as the president of India, is a historical move,
Several Adivasis had participated in the Indian independence movement.
Murmu is a grassroot tribal leader who took her baby steps struggling with the poverty in one of the most remote and undeveloped region of the country in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district,
her childhood had been full of challenges but she overcame against all odds and graduated in Arts from Ramadevi Women's College in Bhubaneswar (Odisha).
She had graduated at a time when Adivasi women hardly went beyond their school education, after her graduation she started life as a government clerk, then she resigned from this post,
and worked as a school teacher before joining politics. She has always considered to be a soft spoken and an affable leader.
Droupadi Murmu in-spite of holding the several highly important positions including the governor of Jharkhand, all her life, she has remained Quintessentially a simple and down to earth person,
standing her ground, honesty, humility and spirituality has been part of her illustrative journey.
DRAUPADI MURMU STORY IS THAT OF THE TRIUMPH OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT
Droupadi Murmu storey is that of the triumph of the human spirit that is a unbreakable despite most heartbreaking tragedies in her personal life,
she has gone through one tragedy after another in her personal life-loss of her husband Shyam Charan Murmu who passed away following cardiac arrest, and her two sons in accident,
but Murmu leaving behind all these personal tragedies, with her inner strength and uncommon serenity, in the most positive way, she continued her gritty journey in public life to serve the nation
and now she is all set to become the 15th Rashtrapati next month of the 1.38 billion people of India, she has given hope and inspiration to so many around her.
DROUPADI MURMU VICTORY AS THE 15th PRESIDENT OF INDIA IS A FOREGONE CONCLUSION
Droupadi Murmu victory for the post of the 15th president of India is a foregone conclusion, seeing the electoral arithmetic in favour of the BJP-led- NDA alliance,
also her candidature has already got widespread support from non-NDA parties regional parties like BJD, BSP, SAD etc.
Thus Droupadi Murmu is all likely to become the first tribal woman to occupy the top constitutional post of India as the 15th President of India of the world's largest democracy.
Though Yashwant Sinha, the opposition parties presidential candidate, is also a veteran leader and statesman who also has a long and distinguished record for the public service for
several decades as a Bureaucrat, Union minister and senior party functionary.
When elected, Murmu, a former governor of Jharkhand, will be the first president of India who is born post-independence and the youngest president,
though Neelam Sanjiva Reddy (1913 - 1996) who was also 64 years of age when he was elected as the sixth president in 1978, she was born on June 20, 1958 in Baidaposi village of Mayurbhanj district in Odisha.
Droupadi Murmu is definitely a deserving candidate for the Post of the President of India, she has rich and varied a dministrative experience, educationist as a teacher,
politics as MLA for two terms, Minister (2000 - 2004) in the coalition government of the Naveen Patnaik led Biju Janata dal-BJP government, and her outstanding gubernatorial tenure and
her social background will certainly make her a great president of the country, like all the past presidents who all worked in the most distinguished way and uphold their constitutional
duties in the most dignified manner.
It is indeed a proud moment for India when a person, especially a woman from the most marginalized section of the society occupies the highest position of the president of India,
who in her public life has performed all her duties with relentless zeal to work for the upliftment of the people from all section of the society.
Adivasis and women are two key voting blocs during elections, though Women constitute half of population, but they are poorly represented in Parliament and legislatures,
Hence her nomination for the post of next presidential candidate is a right signal for them that BJP led NDA cares for them,
Thus her presidency will further give a much needed shot in the arm for the tribal and women empowerment which will reaffirm India’s commitment to removing social inequality,
Droupadi Murmu definitely seems to be best fit for the August office.

"EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF CORONA-19".
Modi government reacted more quickly and decisively in the face of potential fatalities of corona Pandemic with timely enforcing of the lockdown to break the chain for the spread of Corona pandemic, India's reasonably strong healthcare sector, dedication of the medical fraternity and timely availability of cost effective indigenous manufactured Corona vaccine are other factors which saved large lives.
The Covid-19 pandemic has been the biggest crisis to hit humanity since World War II, It already has cost us about five million lives worldwide and countless livelihoods, In India also, about 5,00,000 people have died due to Corona, The impact of the Corona pandemic has been extremely sharp, probably this is the biggest tragedy mankind ever has faced in several decades, even in advanced countries like USA,UK and Italy , large number of deaths were reported due to corona pandemic.
Corona Pandemic was a dual crisis for human beings, where we not only have lost millions of lives due to this, but also it has caused great economic hardships world over, daily wage earners were the biggest sufferers, as most of our business activities more or less had came to standstill due to prolonged lockdown ,probably this was the worst economic hardship people ever have faced after "The Great Depression of 1929-1930".
World over, this Pandemic has created a major financial and public healthcare crisis, the health infrastructure in all the countries has come under tremendous stress and the economic impact of the pandemic is still being felt by most of us. It will probably take a long time to overcome its impact and life to come at pre- Covid level.
For the last 20 months, Governments and health officials world over have been grappling with the sudden outbreak of Corona- pandemic, This sudden outbreak of pandemic has posed an unprecedented and unimagined challenge to the very existence of the human race on the earth, "This was beyond everyone's control.
Even advanced Countries like UK, USA, Italy had a large number of Corona deaths, in spite having one of the most e fficient and modern healthcare systems, still they could not cope with it at the initial stages as it was a new Corona -19 Virus still unknown to the Medical fraternity.
India India has fared comparatively much better than many other advanced countries with a low death rate and high recovery rate, worldwide five millions people have died due to corona-19,In India about 4,53,708 people have lost their lives due to Covid-19 till Oct, 23rd, 2021, Such a low death rate would be seen as a victory of the government, citizens and science over the dreaded coronavirus .
This also can be attributed to the efficient handling of corona by the government of India, by taking early steps to protect and insulate people, enforcing the strict lockdown and other standard corona protocols, The Modi government had channeled public resources in a big way to upgrade the health-care sector on war footing, they increased the capacity of hospital beds, ICU, ventilators and improved emergency rooms and more Ambulances were added with life support.
In these trying times, the work done by Prime Minister Modi's government in controlling the pandemic has been unparalleled which has been praised by the world.
"GOVERNMENT'S STRONG AND DECISIVE DECISIONS SLOWED DOWN THE SPREAD OF THE CORONA ".
In the first wave of the Corona Pandemic, Government took several proactive measures to contain the pandemic, enforced one of the strongest lockdown and other standard Corona protocols, as saving the lives was the foremost priority of the government as the day passed, caseload of Corona pandemic continued to go high ,finally with the strong preventive measures, first wave of corona was controlled.
During these trying times, government machinery was working in full swing on a 24x7 basis to help corona patients, senior doctors were working day and night at all the government hospitals to help people from the economically weaker sections of society, as government hospitals are the last resort for them, as they can't afford treatment at private hospitals.
In these trying times, in most of the Hospitals due to surge in Corona patients ,only Corona cases were being admitted ; except cases of medical emergency cases.
During these crisis, Modi government took a strong and decisive measures on war footing to face this pandemic, enforced strictest corona protocol in public places, improved public health-care infrastructure in the country on war footing like increasing bed capacity, additional ICU beds and Ventilators were added in government healthcare ,extra ambulances were also added with life support, oxygen shortage was augmented, emergency medicines like Remdesivir was provided, followed by comprehensive vaccination programme in the country.
As days passed, the caseload of Corona continued to go high, finally the first Corona Pandemic wave was brought into control, people thought the worst was over, they stopped following the corona protocol, even at some public places, people stopped wearing Masks, this led to the sudden start of a second wave of corona which was more deadly.
As India was battling the second wave of the Coronavirus Pandemic, which was more deadly, as Corona cases were surging everyday, which peaked at record of 4,00,000-plus cases on May, 7th 2021, finally with government enforced measures, it started declining sharply with better coordination of center and state governments.
Such a low death rate in the Corona pandemic, would be seen as a victory of the government of India, citizens and science over the dreaded coronavirus.
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT TO CORONA PATIENTS.
The government took an important step, allowing private hospitals to treat corona patients, that helped people especially from economically weaker sections of society, for such cases the government provided the cost of treatment.
Seeing the surge in Corona cases, in government hospitals except emergency medical cases, only Corona patients were being admitted, senior doctors were stationed in hospitals on a 24x7 basis as in government hospitals, as in government hospitals, people from the economically weaker section of society visit them .
Thousands of families were provided free of cost treatment not only in Government hospitals but also in private hospitals where if required they were given ICU facilities and ventilator support at government expenses ,
In Covid times ,this was a great boon for the people below poverty line ,who have been finding it difficult to make both ends meet as due to prolonged lockdown, all economic activities had come to total halt in these trying times.
INDIA SCIENTIFIC STRATEGY IN MANAGEMENT OF CORONA PANDEMIC AND VACCINATION.
India's Scientific strategy in the management of the corona pandemic was praiseworthy, Its was was built of five scientific Pillars Tracking, Testing, Treating, Vaccinating and adherence to the specific Covid behaviour, these measures had shown good results during the first wave ,but Second wave of corona, was more deadly, which had started all of sudden, as people after the first wave, stopped following the Corona guidelines,
With these strong and decisive measures, it drastically slowed down the spread of the second wave of Corona-19 it was controlled to a large extent, finally India logged only 12,424 new cases as on the 25th Oct,2021 and lowest in 238 days.
GOVERNMENT'S SUPPORT FOR THE INCREASING CORONAVIRUS TESTING FACILITIES .
India's fight against Coronavirus home come a long way, when Coronavirus Initially had started ,not much was known about it, India had only few such laboratory for Coronavirus testing, while today nation has a network of over 1500 such laboratories which are spread across the country, thus India was able to strengthen the testing facilities significantly, which helped the country to take timely steps in saving significant lives. Government wanted to make COVID-19 diagnostic facilities affordable and accessible in all districts of India, and the government even asked private laboratories to reduce the cost of testing.
The government undertook a slew of measures to overcome these challenges ,as not much was known about Coronavirus inertially Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) were on job 24x7,support of Government India is most praiseworthy, government even asked to reduce the cost of testing.
AUGMENTED THE OXYGEN SUPPLY.
During the sudden outbreak of the second Corona wave, a huge shortfall of Oxygen was seen, to meet the supply of Oxygen, supply was augmented, government instructed the Oxygen manufacturers to supply Oxygen only for medical use, as Oxygen plays a critical role in saving the lives of the Covid-19 patients.
Oxygen is the most critical medicine for the people with the severe COVID-19 , stable supply of Oxygen plays a very crucial role in saving the their , there was a massive surge in Corona-19 cases during the deadly second wave ,Hospitals were struggling to meet the demand of Oxygen, government of India immediately responded to this crisis, and even ran special trains carrying this precious life -cargo of Oxygen ,to meet the shortfall, Further Oxygen manufacturing capacity was augmented and even oxygen plants were set up even at hospitals.

Due to the Corona-19 pandemic, Migrant workers, who are mostly from Bihar, UP ,go to big cities like Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore for livelihood as India has a fragile rural economy, due to the Corona-19 pandemic, they faced multiple-hardships with factories and workplaces shutting down due to the lockdown imposed in the country, they had faced acute livelihood problems, millions of migrant workers had to deal with the loss of income, food shortages and uncertainty about their future.
In response to this humanitarian crises faced by migrants, unseen in the past several decades of the post independent India, central and State Governments took various welfare measures to help them, arranged transport for them, Government of India had started several special Shramik trains to take them to their homes, it also transferred a financial aid through direct bank transfer to these daily wage workers accounts, as the sustenance allowance amid at the supporting them during this period, whose livelihood specially had been badly hit by the outbreak of second Corona wave of Pandemic, as during pandemic all economic activities had come to total standstill due to Lockdown.
Migrant flight had a very serious implication on the rural economy, as India already has a fragile rural infrastructure , hence a fter the nationwide lockdown was announced in late March, the Finance Minister of India Nirmala Sitharaman had initiated several
relief measures, to alleviate their distress and announced a ₹1.7 lakh crore (US$23 billion) spending plan for the poor, this consisted of cash transfers and steps to ensure food security.
The Modi government seems to have handled the Covid-19 pandemic remarkably well despite the fact that there was a big exodus of the home-bound migrants from all parts of India.

NARENDRA MODI'S JOURNEY
(FROM A RSS PRACHARAK TO THE POST OF THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA)
He has come a long way from a humble background to a active R.S.S Pracharak, who took over as the 14th chief minister of Gujarat in 2001 and finally became the 14th Prime Minister of the country in 2014,His speeches are with full of ideas for nation building, which can change the lives of people in the years.
Narendra Modi as Prime Minister of India, it has been proved beyond doubt that he is the most charismatic, visionary politician India has ever produced, and his contribution is extremely praiseworthy.
Even as R.S.S Pracharak, Narendra Modi used to travel frequently and was a motivating factor for RSS workers.
YOGA.
Shri Narendra Modi's initiative for making one day annually as "Yoga day" has received overwhelming response even at the UN, where total 177 countries across the world came together and passed the resolution to declare 21st June as the "International Day of Yoga", Today popularity of yoga outside India is very high, Yoga has connected the world with India, many countries in the world, don't know our culture and language but world is getting connected with India because of Yoga'.
Shri Narendra Modi has rightly said, during ancient times, Yoga was practiced only by sages and monks in Himalayan caves, but today it has got acceptance worldwide and it has become part of our daily life, world has recognized the benefits of yoga in controlling modern day diseases and relieving stress.
NARENDRA MODI "A DECISIVE LEADER".
Modi is a decisive Prime Minister, India ever had it, he takes decisions only in the supreme national interest, only considering India's security in the long run, in his regime, there is a policy of hitting back against those who carry out terrorism in India, even if the targets are from across the border.
REVOCATION OF ARTICLE 370 FROM THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION.
One of the foremost and historical decisions Narendra Modi government has taken is the, the Revocation of Article 370 from the Indian constitution, which gave the state of Jammu and Kashmir certain extra privilege from the Indian constitution and allowed certain amount of autonomy--like own constitution, a separate flag, freedom to make its laws ,but Foreign affairs, defense and communication remained with the central government .
People in the country feel that revocation of Article 370 is one of the single biggest achievement of the Modi government, also one of the historical decision of the post independence India, which never allowed the total integration of state of Jammu and Kashmir with the India ,thus with this constitution amendment, the integration of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh with Indian union is total and all special privilege granted to the state of Jammu and Kashmir stands withdrawn.
The revocation of Article 370 was not only a long-cherished demand of the RSS-BJP and but of nation as whole ,since the days of Bhartiya Jan Sangh(Now BJP), then president of Jan Sangh Shyama Prasad Mukherjee had died in a Kashmir prison, campaigning against the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee was the founder of the Bhartiya Jan Sangh(now BJP) along the RSS.
Shyama Prasad Mukherjee was strongly opposed to the Article 370,as he saw it as a threat to national unity; he firmly believed that there can't be two Vidhans (Constitutions) and two Prime Ministers in the country, he had fought against it inside and outside the parliament with one of the goals of Bhartiya Jana Sangh being its abrogation the Article 370.He had also raised his voice strongly against the provision in his Lok Sabha speech on 26 June 1952.
This historical bill of Revocation of Article 370, was piloted by Home Minister Shri Amit Shah in both houses of parliament.
Surgical strike-I, India carried out surgical strikes in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, inflicting heavy casualties on terrorists and those protecting them" and indicating a change of stand on the rules of engagement on the Line of Control(LOC).
On 18 September 2016, when there was a fedayeen attack by four heavily armed militants near the town of Uri, within 11 days of attack, on 29th Sep,2016,Indian army carried out successful counter terror operation with full precision across line of control in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir(POK),inflicting heavy casualties of terrorists and their protectors, without any damage to our forces, it was done to neutralize those terrorists who were preparing to "carry out infiltration and conduct terrorist strikes inside Jammu and Kashmir and in various parts in other states" ,it was known as Surgical strike-I.
Surgical strike-ii, Again on 14 February 2019, when a convoy of vehicles carrying security personnel(CRPF) on the Jammu- Srinagar National Highway was attacked by a vehicle-borne suicide bomber in the Pulwama district, The attack resulted in the martyrdom of 40 Central Reserve Police Force(CRPF) personnel, the responsibility of this attack was claimed by Pakistan based terror organization Jaish-e -Mohmmed(JeM),
Aftermath of this attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, security forces of the country are free to take appropriate action against those responsible for this ghastly terror attack on our security forces.
On 26th morning Feb,2019,Indian Air Force(IAF) fighter jets,Mirage-2000 and Sukhoi carried out a major counter terrorist operation at the biggest training camp and launching pad of JeM in Balakot” with 1,000-kg laser-guided bombs, This camp, falls deep in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa provenance of Pakistan, the attack eliminated “a large number of JeM terrorists, its trainers, senior commanders,handlers and groups of jihadis” who were being trained and doctrined at this camp, Balakot was a major launching pad for JeM cadre across the Line of Control, Balakot, it is also known as the terror heaven and major terror training epicenter in Pakistan, this was a non-military and pre-preemptive strike carried out by IAF.
This entire counter-terrorism operation lasted for only 21 minute, all our fighter planes returned safely at their bases without any casualty, no civilian died in this operation, it shows volume of our defense force's planning, Pakistan was caught unaware of this counter terrorism operation, that Indian plane could enter deep inside Pakistan airspace hit their targets and come back safe. It speaks volumes of our preparedness,In fact after the 1971 war,It was the first time that the Indian Air force entered the Pakistani airspace and carried out a major pre-emptive strike.
Even Indian Air Force MiG pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan returned safely from Pakistan's captivity to India within 48 hours.
With this counter terror air strike in Balakot Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, India has now set a new bar in dealing with cross-border terrorism, Infact India is now in the league of those few nations who have attacked their targets beyond their borders, others are USA, Israel.
Our new policy against terrorism has shifted from defensive to offensive in case of any further terror attack on Indian soil, but our policy of no first offensive remains against Pakistan, unless India is provoked.
With this shift of policy, India has firmly resolved to hit back at Pakistan militarily to dissuade it from carrying out further terrorist attacks against us.
Narendra Modi is one of those great leaders, India has got, who has strong will and determination to take important calls in national interest and ride with them, with these counter terrorism measures of two surgical strikes across LOC in Pakistan's Occupied Kashmir(POK), it indicates country's change of stand on the rules of engagement on the terrorism coming from across the line of control(L.O.C).
This is a big victory for India's fight against terror, which underscores the will and resolve of New India led by Narendra Modi government, no one can deny Prime Minister Modi’s decisive disposition and singular capacity to take hard decisions when it comes to national security.
NARENDRA MODI "MAN OF THE PEACE".
After the historical mandate of 2014 general elections , Narendra Modi took oath as the 14th Prime Minister of India on 26th May 2014, he started on a very positive note by inviting, then Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif during his swearing in ceremony along other head of States from SAARC(Association of south-east Asian nations),and then going to Lahore on December 25th,2015,to attend the family function of then prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif.
This shows his sincerity in promoting peace in this part of world, sadly the Jaish-e-Mohammed(JeM) which is a Pakistan-based Deobandi jihadist terrorist group, supported by Pakistani Army in providing finance, training and logistic ,attacked India at Pathankot Air base on 2nd Jan,2016.
He is a man of peace , he firmly believes like great statesman, that If India wants to be a great nation, it will have to have good relations with its neighbours, even during Vajpayee's time as Prime Minister, when he visited Lahore Pakistan by bus , Kargil happened but he extended hand of friendship with Pakistan, so as Modi, when he went to Lahore Pakistan to extend the hand of friendship, but unfortunately Pathankot happened there after, but he is relentlessly continuing his efforts for peace in this volatile region.
If India wants to be a great nation, it will have to have good relations with its neighbours, even during Vajpayee's time as Prime Minister, when he visited Lahore Pakistan, Kargil happened but he extended hand of friendship with Pakistan, so as Modi, when he went to Lahore Pakistan to extend the hand of friendship, but unfortunately Pathankot happened there after.
NARENDRA MODI "ARCHITECT OF MODERN INDIA".
Narendra Modi wants new generation of India to work hard with honesty and for them he has started many welfare schemes ,it is a good for the country, the manner in which he turned the Gujarat into India's number one industrial state in the bare space of about 12 years is most praise worthy, his Gujarat model of development is still being remembered and many states are following Gujarat model of development.
In his endure to make India an economic and militarily super power, Narendra Modi government has brought many important welfare schemes, which are mainly being targeted towards the underprivileged people of the country to improve their standard of living, many of his welfare schemes are game changer and life changing,for example is Swach Bharat and Ayushman Bharat.
The main objective of Swachh Bharat includes eliminating open defecation through the construction of household and community toilets especially in Rural parts of India, where many times, women folk have to wait till sunset to go to the open toilet.
Another real game changer and life altering welfare scheme is " Ayushman Bhrat", it is post independent India's most landmark welfare scheme ever introduced by any government for the welfare of the common man, " Ayushman Bhrat" healthcare scheme ,provides free quality healthcare of Rs 5 Lakhs per family for the most vulnerable people of society.
Narendra Bhai Modi always dreams big for the 130 crores people of India, sets up big targets, sometimes they seem to be difficult to achieve, but he and his team works very hard to fulfill these targets.
Narendra Modi believes if common citizens are provided good healthcare, education, cleanness, it will raise their standard of living, they will be healthy and will be able to get jobs.
The cause of under privileged people is very close to his heart, but at the same time, he also is paying his full attention towards trade, industry, increasing export, which is on his top priority, his main focus is also towards domestic hard ware manufacturing and Information Technology(I.T) sector, today India has emerged as the mobile phone manufacturing hub, which is providing jobs to large number of technical personals.
Today India is world's fastest growing economy, further it is expected by the end of year 2019, it will be the fifth largest economy in the world, governments good economic policies, have led to the steady growth in all sectors, while there have been large turmoil in many global economies ,but India's economy in his full term ,has seen constant growth and has been able to stand-out amid global economic volatility, it is a great achievement for the country, inflation which hurts maximum to poor people is down, we are witnessing low inflation and high growth. Narendra Modi wants to go for further economic reforms that will further boost the economy.
Narendra Modi wants India to be militarily very strong, in this direction, he is working very hard,defense forces are being given the most modern equipment and with good training, his government is also boosting domestic defense production.
Thus Narendra Modi is a true architect of Modern India and real game changer, his all these achievements have been made been possible with Narendra Modi at the helm of affairs as the 14th prime Minister of India with historical mandate, who has provided a strong and stable government at the center, he is really a visionary leader, India has ever has .
Goods and Service tax (GST).
Historical Goods and Service tax (GST) regime introduced during The Modi regime by Finance Minister Late Arun Jaitley--is India's most important piece of Tax reforms after post independent India ,many experts say GST has potential to lift the economy and will economically unify India.
GST which came into force on 1st July 2017 after lengthy parliamentary discussion, which aims to bring India's 1.3 Billion country's population under the single market. Many economists and veteran tax experts believe GST is moving in the right direction.
NARENDRA MODI'S INTERACTION WITH NRI'S/PERSONS OF INDIAN ORIGIN.
India has largest diaspora population in the world, today NRI's/Persons of India Origin feel proud that their Prime Minister is in touch with them and his government cares for them, There are about 16 millions NRI's/Persons of India origin settled in different parts of the world, these include millions of migrants labourers in the Gulf countries and professionals in North America and Great Britain, Whenever Prime Minister Modi visits them, Indian community has been highly enthused and enlivened with his visits.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Silicon Valley highlights the role of a country that has contributed much to the growth and development of Silicon Valley's industries in the terms of highly qualified human resources who are the backbone of these IT co in Silicon valley, their legacy is an extended American business collaboration and partnership with India, they have set up their extended development facilities in India particularly in Bangalore, the silicon valley of India ,it will further strengthens the PM Modi's pet project "Digital India", as technology is the backbone of this project ,
The "Digital India" project seeks to connect various government departments' services with people through high speed internet which will make people's lives easy, they will get hassle free government services without visiting government offices.
When he visited U.A.E in 2015,where nearly 2,6 millions Indian expatriates live, forming the biggest expatriate population, In a politically astute move, he addressed mammoth gathering of 50,000 people in Dubai (U.A.E), this was the biggest congregation of the Indian diaspora ever assembled to listen to the speech of any of their Prime Minister, this was something exceptionally unusual in the Gulf countries.
In Gulf countries ,where even gathering of even one thousand(1,000) people is exceptionally rare, there he even visited labour camp of Indian workers, which proved that Prime Minister of India Modi cares for them, as these workers work in hot summer of Gulf where temperature rises up to 50 centigrade and send home money,there he got a standing ovation by a 50,000 audience, it has been unseen in any of the Gulf countries for any visiting foreign visiting dignitaries.
It is estimated that expatriates from the Gulf region send back home remittances of well 60 billions dollars which substantially add to the Indian economy.
Same enthusiasm was seen when Modi visited other countries where large numbers of Indians are there like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, even when he visited USA, Australia, he got the same grand reception by the Indian diaspora.
During his visit to the USA in 2014, he was given a grand reception by N.R.I's/People of Indian origin at the Iconic Madison square garden, New York, which was fully packed with people to listen to his speech.
FOREIGN POLICY.
The Modi government's active foreign policy initiatives are praise worthy, which has realized the true potential and long term role of India in the Asean, west Asia region and "As the world's largest democracy" on the global arena. His government's overwhelming foreign policy has been a balanced one.
If we sum the total of Prime Minister Narendra Modi government's foreign policy of his term, it has firmly established India’s imprint and capacities across the world not as a supplicant power but a power which cannot be ignored or taken for granted any more with its independent foreign policy.
Another high point of his government's foreign policy is, its astute diplomacy, which has opened many doors and possibilities for India, the relationship dynamics with China have altered with us making our presence felt on equal footing.
His government astute diplomacy, India has received good success in its efforts to internationally isolate Pakistan as a state -sponsor of terrorism, today Pakistan is facing greater international isolation ,all thanks to Pakistan's inaction against terrorism, Even US President Mr Trump agreed Pakistan needs to control terrorism from its soil.
Another high point of PM Modi is, he has presented India's case with Gulf country's rulers, about Pakistan sponsored terrorism on Indian soil, earlier GCC governments were on the side of Pakistan, today they are totally against Pakistan's inaction against terrorism.
The situation in Jammu & Kashmir, which is being supported by Pakistan has been resolutely handled, while Left Wing Extremism is shrinking by day and is in its last leg.
Another important decision taken by his government, when Indian Parliament unanimously passed the India-Bangladesh Border agreement under which 111 border enclaves will be transferred to Bangladesh in exchange for 51 that will become part of India, with this agreement, it brings to an end one of the world's most complex border disputes, which dates back to colonial times.
PM Modi believes, If India wants to be a great nation, it will have to have good relations with its neighbours, even during Vajpayee's time as Prime Minister, when he visited Lahore Pakistan by Bus ,Kargil happened but he extended hand of friendship with Pakistan, so as Modi, when he went to Lahore Pakistan to extend the hand of friendship, but unfortunately Pathankot happened there after, but still he tried to make friendship with its neighbour Pakistan which Islamic world has realised the great intent of PM Modi , he is a man of Peace.

Looking east policy, Shri Narendra Modi's recent visit to Indonesia is of great significance to further cement bilateral relations between two countries, India and Indonesia are united by shared history and centuries old cultural bonds but successive governments of both the countries have never tried to build these relations into a formidable bilateral relationship.
India's trade relations with Sumatra dates back at least to the beginning of the Christian Era, India's Andaman and Nicobar shares a maritime border with Indonesia along Andaman sea.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a singular opportunity to correct this historical wrong, these relations should have been taken forward during the Indonesian President Sukarno and Indian Prime minister Nehru's era, as they had a very strong shared commitment towards non-alignment movement.

COMMENTS OF HISTORIANS/DIGNITARIES ON MODI GOVERNMENT.
I fully agree with the comments of Mr Ramachandra Guha, Rajya Sabha M.P and India's most celebrated Historian and writer, who has rightly said, during his recent speech at London school of economics(LSE) that Narendra Modi is all set to become India's third most successful Prime Minister of India with a pan India vision after Jawahar Lal Nehru and Indira Gandhi and whose" charisma and his appeal" transcends all boundaries of caste, language and region in the nation,
Even visiting Australian Prime Minister said during his visit to India that Narendra Modi is leading India on an 'extraordinary journey of development'. Only history will judge Prime Minister Narendra Modi's work for his country, he is a statesman who has strived hard for the economic development for the country and for the peace in this volatile region where our two immediate next door neighbours have vast nuclear arsenal.
INDIA IS THE BEST PLACED TO RESOLVE THE WEST ASIA CRISIS.
Today India enjoys huge constituencies of good will on both sides of west Asia, that it can leverage to its advantage, volatile region of "west Asia, needs a honest and reliable peace maker, looking into India's relations with Iran and Israel, and its growing international influence, India is best placed to take this role of peacemaker.
Hence there is no better person than Indian Prime Minister Modi, who can take up this responsibility as a peacemaker, who can broker a peace in middle east, he has developed personnel relations with the head of state of these governments and they trust him impeccably and unwavering commitment to peace in this region, recent visit of Narendra Modi to Palestine, UAE and Oman and stop over at Jordan, further reinforces this, where he was given rousing welcome by their governments and Indian diaspora.
What U.S President Barack Obama couldn't do in his two term presidency, Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi can do it today,
Shri Narendra Modi is the among the few global leaders who are effectively using social media to interact with people especially youths, who are are inspired by his leadership.
The content of his social media pages are always diverse, which covers wide spectrum of his initiatives and activities, His followers are not only in India but in entire region and internationally, he has also large followings among India diaspora.

Amitabh Anilchandra Shah, also known as "Amit Shah ji" is a leading politician of India,who is occupying the important post of Home minister of India in the Narendra Modi government(ii) , before his elevation as the Union home minister , he was the President of the Bharatiya Janata party(BJP) during Modi 1:0 government (2014-2019).
Amit Shah ji has made a historic place in the Indian politics,after his successful inning as the BJP President (2014--2019), with the resounding victory of BJP in 2019 Parliamentary election,on 30th May,2019, he joined union cabinet and was entrusted with an all important portfolio of the Home Ministry in the newly formed cabinet.
Amit Shah is a close aide and chief strategist of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,who has full faith in his capabilities and administrative acumen,Modi and Shah's association started in mid 80's,when Modi was working as a full-time RSS pracharak since then Narendra Modi has a strong and close working relations with Amit Shah.
Amit Shah has always enjoyed Narendra Modi’s trust over last three decades ,they have worked together, When Narendra Modi was chief Minister of Gujarat,Amit Shah being his close confidant, he had entrusted him the crucial post of the Home minister of Gujarat, he has remarkable administrative and governance expertise --a quality that people outside Gujarat don't know much about him, as a Home minister of Gujarat , he proved be an effective administrator,and law and order position was very good in Gujarat.
Amit Shah tenure as BJP party president(2014-2019) was a highly successful one, where under his leadership,BJP won many state assembly elections but notable was the 2019 parliament election,which BJP won with a thumping majority,thus with this he has now fully come to the stage of national politics.
What Amit Shah lacked was parliamentary experience, which is must for politician to rise in political echelon,in 2017,Amit shah made his maiden entry in parliament and became Rajya sabha MP from Gujarat,in 2019 parliamentary elections (2019) he contested Lok Sabha election from prestigious Gandhinagar constituency in Gujarat, and won by a massive margin of 5.57 lakh votes,this seat was earlier held by veteran BJP leader and former deputy prime minister of India L K Advani ji.
Amit Shah is not only Modi’s effective deputy, in a short duration of two years as a MP, he has emerged as an effective and strong parliamentarian,his policy speeches in parliament on revocation of Article 370 on Jammu and Kashmir have shown him as a seasoned leader.
Political career of Amit shah.
Amit Shah entered the politics at young age,during the his college days as an ordinary karyakarta(worker),through his hard commitment ,determination, he soon managed to gain the support of Narendra Modi ,who was then a RSS pracharak and again General secretary BJP,Narendra Modi then was highly impressed with young Amit Shah's ability to feel the pulse of people,thus their journey started and with the passage of time,their relations became more strong and mature,when Narendra Modi became
Chief-minister of Gujarat, Amit Shah was entrusted with many important portfolios including crucial Home Ministry.
In their over three decades of their political journey,the Modi-Shah duo supplement each other,one is a proven all- conquering mass leader and the other a brilliant party organiser, who has proven this time and again in different elections after he became BJP president(2014-1019) and during 2014 Parliamentary elections.
Amit Shah is known for converting challenges into opportunities,the year between 2010 and 2012 were perhaps the years of the unprecedented political challenges in Amit Shah's life ,but he in-spite of all odds, he successfully continued his electoral journey and winning elections with massive majority,In fact Amit Shah's electoral victory has remained unbreakable,
Amit Bhai real political break came in national politics in 2012,when he won his fifth consecutive victory from the newly created constituency Narayanpur by 60,000 seats,though with less margin due to delimitation of this constituency,
This was a landmark event in Amit Shah political journey, this established him as a key political strategist , thus the party recognised his electoral talent, then BJP president Rajnath Singh was highly impressed with Amit Shah's organisation skill and he was he was given an important responsibility at the national level at the party, he was appointed the General secretary of Bharatiya janata party (BJP) ahead of 2014 Parliamentary elections,as incharge of politically crucial state Uttar Pradesh which has 80 Lok sabha seats, from here Amit Shah's journey started in national politics.
Highpoint of Amit Shah illustrative career is, he has never lost any election,who is known for nursing his constituency extremely well and making himself accessible to party workers, it reflects electoral acumen and tenacity of Amit Shah .
In Gujarat he had already displayed his talent as a political strategist , when he wrested the stronghold of the various Congress controlled Gujarat's Cooperative movements organisations, these were the main sources of electoral strength and influence for the congress party, even many sports bodies especially Cricket,Chess had seen the change of office bearer.
In 2014 Lok Sabha's elections ,BJP’s historic landslide victory in UP where BJP unexpectedly got 71 seats,which reaffirmed his credentials in party as master election strategist who can be depended upon,in Spite of massive Modi wave,the credit for BJP's steller electoral performance In UP Lok Sabha elections should also go to Amit shah's superb strategy, he also used modern global electoral practices like use of IT and intense use technology.
Amit Shah, in his long political career,which he started in 80's in Gujarat , he has never hidden his association with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh(RSS), in fact after Amit Shah became BJP Party president, a clear balance was seen between RSS ideology and political compulsions of the Modi government.
But if one question is asked to Amit Shah, what is more important in his life,party ideology or Politics, he has always made clear from the beginning of his political career that ideology is above politics.
Revocation of Article 370 from Indian constitution.
While Amit Shah ji has always been known as a natural orator,but if one thing is noted in the first session of the 17th Lok sabha was,Amit Shah's emergence as an effective and strong parliamentarian , who in spite of being the first time union union minister, Amit Shah delivered a very important and a historic speech in Lok sabha,while moving the resolution for scrapping the article 370 and re-organizing the of state of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories.
Amit Shah has termed the abborgation of Article 370 from indian constitution as historic,which never allowed the integration of Jammu and Kashmir with the country , t hus with this constitution amendment,the integration of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh with Indian union is total.
With this constitution amendments,state of Jammu and Kashmir will be divided into two Union territories, first Jammu and Kashmir will have a legislature assembly and will be headed by a Lt Governor, second will be Ladakh, a highly strategically located , which has also been carved out from jammu and kashmir ,will be a separate union territory,it will not have assembly and will be centrally administered union territory headed by a Lt Governor, thus ending the special status of state of jammu and kashmir enjoyed all these years .
During first few months of Amit Shah as home minister, he is seen as piloting several important legislative changes in the constitution like the revoking Article 370,bifurcating Jammu and Kashmir into two separate Union territories, Criminalisation of triple talaq talaq and talaq, Amendment of Citizenship act, amendments to the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
The revoking of Article 370 from the constitution,passage of bills like Article 370,CAA,Triple talaq et without having the required numbers on its own are the best examples of Amit Shah's political and floor management,
Thus with all these important constitution amendments,Amit Shah has stamped his own mark on Modi government,it is seen whenever he is in parliament, treasury benches are packed to their capacity,which is a clear display of his command over Party MP's,
Amit Shah's maiden speech in parliament was among the most notable parliamentary speeches.
Amit Shah's fiery speeches have always grabbed the nationwide attention and hogged the limelight in the past , but his most remarkable speech was, which he delivered in parliament while moving the resolution for revoking Article 370 and reorganisation of jammu and Kashmir state,it will be best remembered among the few notable speeches ever delivered in Indian Parliament since country's independence.
It was a historical movement,when Amit Shah ji entered the House minutes before the proceedings in the Rajya sabha commenced, he received a standing ovation from the treasury benches who clapped and chanted "Bharat mata ki Jai" and Vande Mataram,at that time it became clear that the Modi government had decided to remove the Article 370 of the constitution that gave Jammu and Kashmir a special status in Indian Constitution,Article 370 had given special privileges to the Jammu and Kashmir.
During the long discussions in parliament,about the revoking the Article 370 and bifurcating the Jammu and Kashmir into two separate Union territories,Home Minister Amit Shah remained present in the house till the discussion was over, replied to some member's questions,those who were fiercely opposed to this bill, during the discussion, he explained to them as a seasoned parliamentarian about the importance of revoking Article 370,thus constructing a strong case for for removal of article 370 from Constitution,the Bill was passed comfortably in both the houses of parliament.
Other notable speeches in Indian parliament since independence are, Jawaharlal Nehru(14 August 1947), Babasaheb Ambedkar (25 November 1949), Piloo Mody, Atal Bihari Vajpayee(1996), Indira Gandhi(1971), Ram Manohar Lohia,Omar Abdullah(2008), Sushma Swaraj(2015) and Amit Shah(2019).
But if one notable feature that has come out in the first session of the 17th Lok sabha is,Home Minister Amit Shah has emerged as an astute,committed,effective leader and strong parliamentarian, who could take many historical decisions in the national interest and he has proved this,when he successfully piloted many historical bills in the house like revocation of 370 from the constitution , which no previous government in since 73 years of independence could ever think of doing so due to various political reasons.
By Revoking the Article 370, BJP's founder Shyama Prasad Mukherjee dream has come true.
Historical announcement made by Home minister Amit Shah in Parliament ,revoking the article 370 from the Indian constitution that gave special status to jammu and Kashmir, the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) has finally fulfilled the dream of Its founder,Shyama Prasad Mukherjee,who was very harsh critic of giving any special powers to jammu and Kashmir, he had very fiercely opposed this during time inside and outside the parliament.
In late 1947,this special privilege was given to Jammu and Kashmir, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee he had very fiercely opposed this during that time and had also further raised the question of ,why Jammu and Kashmir has Sadar-e-Riyasat in place of governor, he was a strident opponent of Article 370 and even gave his life protesting against against this provision of the constitution, he was of the view that Article 370 did not allow proper integration of Jammu and Kashmir with India,
Shyama Prasad Mukherjee who was the founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the predecessor to the present Bharatiya
Janata Party(BJP), had strongly opposed the special status being given to Jammu and Kashmir(Article 370), he was an ardent believer in the integrity of the country that he loved so much, in 1951, he had very strongly opposed to the very inception of the Article 370 in the constitution for granting special status for jammu and Kashmir, h e considered this special provision a grave threat to national unity,h e fought the abrogation of article 370,inside and outside the parliament,in his strongly worded speech in Lok Sabha on 26 June 1952, in which he strongly raised his voice against the provision of Ar ticle 370" from Indian constitution. and finally S hyama Prasad Mukherjee gave his life against the provision of the constitution.
He was of the firm view that "Ek desh mein do Vidhan, do Pradhan aur Do Nishan nahi chalenge" (A single country can't have two constitutions,two prime ministers, and two national emblems),his reference was to the fact that Kashmir then had its own national Emblem,own status,own constitution separate from Indian Constitution, and autonomy over Internal administration
of the state,h e was of the firm view "Indian can only have "one country one vidhan",
This was a historical moment, when Amit Shah's announced the abrogation of Article 370 from the constitution ,thus the Modi government has fulfilled its founder Shyam Prasad Mukherjee's dream of abrogation of Article 370 in J and K after 73 years, which fully integrated it with India .
With this move, Amit Shah has definitely emerged as a bold and decisive leader who can take decisions in national interest.
He has definitely emerged as "Iron Man of India", this title is often used for "Sardar Patel",the first home minister and Deputy Prime Minister of India,whom we owes a immeasurable debt of gratitude,who with his wisdom and diplomacy, played a key role in guiding the successful integration of various 562 princely states with independent Union of India,otherwise which could have led to the Balkanisation of the newly formed -independent nation "India" .
Thus with the successful passage of this historical bill and his landmark parliamentary speech, Amit Shah stamp over the ideological ,political and legislative victory was clearly visible, he has now fully come to the central stage of national politics, but if one thing that has stood out in the first session of the 17th Lok sabha,it was Amit Shah's emergence as an astute leader and effective parliamentarian.
Amit Shah ji as BJP president,
In 2010,his political career was seen stagnant due to legal cases, but Amit Shah's political career got boost with a new life,
when BJP led NDA won parliamentary elections under in 2014,and Narendra Modi took over as 14th Prime Minister of India, after BJP's thumping victory in the 2014 General Elections, NDA got 336 seats and BJP outperformed and got 282 seats on its own, Amit Shah was appointed as the BJP president when the party President Rajnath Singh was elevated to the post of Union Home minister.
Thus the results of these general elections proved,Amit Shah is a hard task master, his organisation skills are unmatched , he is dynamic Leader and excellent political strategist ,who has i maginative ideas. with the party's stellar performance in 2014 elections in particular in UP where he was incharge, BJP got 71 out of 80 seats, a s a result, Amit Shah rose to national prominence,and was given the post of Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) President.
Amit Shah had played a very significant role in BJP's victory in the 2014 general elections,thus proving his acumen as an excellent political strategist and dynamic administrator, In Fact results of UP Lok Sabha elections had surprised several V eteran journalists who had covered many parliamentary elections in past , it helped BJP to reach the magic tally of 282 seats on its own and c lear majority , Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) in UP had never been so successful in the history of UP parliamnetry elections, it had maximum got was 59 seats in 1998, Thus Shah rose to national prominence,
When Amin Shah rose to national prominence,with his appointment as the BJP party President, it became clear that Narendra Modi will look after government and Amit shah will look after party's organisation matters,His mandate was clear to strengthen the BJP where it had little presence in states like West Bengal, Assam and other North eastern states.
Under Amit Shah, as BJP president, the party repeated its near improbable feat of landslide victory in North, East and West India with a vote share of nearly 50%.
Though NDA was expected to win majority in the 2014 general elections, but for the BJP getting absolute majority on its own, with 282 ( 31.34 %) seats,it was a both unexpected and extraordinary,it was Modi eccentric campaign,but the credit for this victory should also go to Amit Shah, who scripted a stunning victory in the 2014 Lok sabha elections with his election strategy , he also had played a very crucial role in the selection of candidates for other states, he extensively used technology in this elections including voters contact and messaging by BJP's media /IT cell .
After taking over as BJP president in 2014,Amit Shah principlay focussed on strengthening organisation machinery and ensured that Modi mass appeal is translated in votes at the booth level, infact his eyes were on next parliamentary elections 2019, this strategy fetched rich electoral dividends, result was BJP won 2019 parliamentary election still with a higher margin ,it got 303 seats on its own.
It was Amit Shah's strategy, BJP extensively pitched the experts from event management companies, advertisement firms and used technology for maximum impact on electorates.
Amit Shah proved his mettle as BJP President, during 2014–16, BJP achieved success in Legislative Assembly elections in Maharashtra,Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand and Assam, but it could not win in Delhi and Bihar assembly elections.
There is no denying the fact that,if we judge his performance as BJP president,BJP had governments in 7 states, that went up to 18 after he took over as BJP party president .
After Amit Shah ji became party president, he started an aggressive membership drive to boost the prospects of BJP in coming assembly elections, by March 2015 BJP claimed 100 million members,in fact Amit Shah's main focus was also on the next general elections of 2019 parliamentary elections.
In his effort to strengthen BJP, A mit Shah worked very hard, he traveled extensively countrywide,especially the north- eastern regions, developed deep links with BJP party workers by sitting in through the meetings, keenly participating in state electoral process,which boosted the morale of party workers at large ,thus ensuring Narendra Modi's appeals reached the electorate,which translated into votes at booth level.
Amit Shah,who is often credited for being instrumental in the B.J.P's victories in several polls and government formations in the country, refle cting the total grip of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the ruling dispensation
When Amit Shah became Party President in 2014,his mission was to convert the popularity,that BJP has earned under the leadership of Narendra Modi as Prime minister and further consolidate into votes in next parliamentary election in 2019,He worked very hard his efforts bore fruit, and BJP won 2019 parliamentary elections still with a bigger mandate,BJP got 303 seat.Today BJP can truly be called a pan India Party with Pan India presence, North to South and from east to west it has large presence .
He is a man on a mission who wants to convert the popularity that the BJP has earned under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi into consolidation of votes and to make BJP a truly pan-India party”.
But picking Amit Shah was a well thought-out strategy,as BJP party president, gave him his own status which helped him to enforce his independent authority as Party President and take decisions, he started giving chance to young party leaders, who were talented and committed to the party ideology but didn't have any godfather in the party, he gave them key position within the party, result is, in present BJP,2nd and 3rd generations leaders have have taken over the key positions in the party as office bearers at state and central level as office- bearers.In Fact Modi and Shah also didn't have any patron in the central leadership ,
Another important decision of Modi -Amit Shah was, when Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won the 2017,Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election by an overwhelming three-quarter majority of 325 seats, Adityanath Yogi ,a fire brand BJP leader,Star campaigner of BJP and five-time parliamentarian from Gorakhpur was appointed as the 17th Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh , this appointment was made ahead of national elections 2019,
Thus by choosing Aditya Nath Yogi as Chief minister of UP,it had sent a strong message that BJP will continue with its Hindu national Agenda in the country . Aditya Nath Yogi is also the Mahant of Gorakhnath Math Gorakhpur,
Another high point of Amit Shah presidency is,when Dinesh sharma and Keshav Prasad Maurya Maurya were both appointed Deputy Chief Ministers of UP in UP,they never complained, though both were strong contender of chief Ministers post,it clearly shows the perhaps the hold of BJP President Amit Shah over organization which has kept rank and file of BJP in check
Both Modi and Amit shah as his able deputy came into limelight for their legendary work in Gujarat "Gujrat Model" which has been appreciated time and again in the country.
BJP had no major base in north eastern parts of India except in few pockets,to consolidate there, he inducted some important leaders from other parties with good regional base, the entry of Himanta Biswa Sarma in Assam and Mukul Roy in West Bengal and now Jyotiraditya Madhavrao Scindia in Madhya Pradesh are the best examples of his approach, this has led to formation of BJP government in Assam,Madhya Pradesh ,
In the last parliamentary election(2019),BJP made major inroads into the state electoral politics with historical rise in its vote share, The BJP got 37.36% of votes,and winning more than 2014 elections,Unexpectedly the saffron party breached the citadel of Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal,these results are definitely seen as major electoral shift of voters,Finally Lotus has bloomed in West Bengal the birthplace of its founder Shyama Prasad Mukherjee.
Next West Bengal assembly elections scheduled for 2021, BJP is going to give a very tough fight to the ruling TMC government led by Mamata Banerjee,who is popularly called "Didi '', there seems to be a major electoral shift in favour of BJP in West-Bengal .
Amit Shah is definitely a visionary leader ,who has taken certain landmark decision no other party president in past could ever thought of, Amit Shah's mission was ,growth of BJP in every part of country,in this direction he planned to have BJP offices in each district of country with modern communication and other modern infrastructure in place like conference halls,and before
2019 election, when he was elevated to the post of Union Home minister of India, BJP already had own offices in most of districts of the country with all in-house all modern facilities.
Also during his tenure as BJP party President,A Global standard 1.70 lakhs square foot massive BJP headquarter was set up in the national capital at 6,Pandit deen dayal Upadhyaya marg ,New Delhi,which is equipped with most modern hi-tech technological features like modern communication center,wi-fi Digital library,video conference facilities connected with all its country wide offices, Library ,which has big conference halls and separate office place for senior office bearers of BJP and underground parking facilities.
In fact in the past,no BJP party President has ever thought of these innovative ideas ,Prime Minister Narendra Modi had inaugurated this BJP head quarter in 2018,and he thanked party President Amit Shah for timely completion of this project.
Many vetaran political analyst in the country are of the view,Amit Shah as BJP party president, has his imprint on the party of a visionary leader, Under his organisational leadership, the party began winning a series of elections, who thinks only about the BJP's growth,in which he has succeeded beyond imagination,today BJP is world's largest political party with more than 180 millions members,more than the population of several countries,in 2019 parliamentary election,Amit Shah party president, BJP created a history by winning 303 seats on own more than 282 it won in 2014 parliamentary election, it was a biggest win since Rajiv Gandhi led congress got 404 seats in 1984 parliamentary elections.
Under Amit Shah's presidency, we have seen the phenomenal rise and growth of the BJP in five years,is something which has astonished even many vetaran political analyst,senior journalist who have covered many historical political events of the country in at least in last four to five decades,
Historical victory of BJP in 2019 general elections ,
Amit Shah as BJP party president,was fully at the forefront of the campaign in 2019 general election, BJP performance was extremely good beyond the imagination of many veteran political strategist,even many senior political journalists who have covered several parliamentary election, were surprised with the results of 2019 elections, when BJP on its own got 303 seats, he addressed multiple rallies everyday in different parts of India,
In this election campaign, several mega rallies were addressed by Amit Shah in all parts of India, votes were asked in the name of Modi Ji, BJP outperformed the 2014 results and got 303 seats on its own in the 2019 parliamentary elections.
It was Amit Shah's strategy, BJP extensively pitched the experts from event management companies, advertisement firms and used technology for maximum impact on electorates, several messages were sent to electorates about Modi's stellar performance as prime Minister (2014-2019).
Amit Shah as Home Minister,
Amit Shah has been a proven organisation man ever since he joined the BJP in early 1990's, where he had a steady rise due to his commitment,taking hard decisions imaginative managerial skills ,and his outstanding performance as BJP president (2014-2019) and two years as parliamentarian,thus Narendra Modi elevated him as the Home minister of India in 2019 .
When Narendra Modi took over as the Prime minister of India in 2019, Internal security has been the top priority of his government, Prime Minister Modi believes Amit Shah as home minister will be able carry forwards the good work done by his predecessor Shri Rajnath Singh ji,particularly in regard to internal security and cracking down on Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) and control on illegal weapons and border management, as government of India he wants to have zero tolerances towards the terrorism and strong vigilance on India's international border,
Amit Shah's predecessor Rajanath Singh as Home Minister(2014-2019) had given free hand to security forces in Jammu and Kashmir to deal insurgency in appropriate manner, which led to heavy casualties among terrorists, it is expected new home minister Shri Amit shah will follow him and further play a more proactive role against insurgency in J&k Amit Shah after taking over as Union Home Minister in Modi-2.0 government, he has provided ideological muscle to pursue the Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) Hindu nationalism agenda,which was not seen in Modi-1.0 government,from abrogation of Article 370 from constitution, ending the seven decade old special privilege granted to Jammu and Kashmir,Citizen Amendments Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC),and going ahead with Ram mandir agenda,Thus in Modi:2 government ,Amit Shah has provided the ideological power to the BJP's Hindutva which was not seen in Modi-1.0 government.
With Amit Shah taking over as 30th Home Minister, it is expected like an iron-handed approach towards terrorism,insurgency, secessionism,maoist insurgency challenges other problems nation is facing today .
Amit Shah has also to focus on the modernizing of the Police force in the country to face the challenges of the 21st century, which requires new challenges to tackle Hi- tech crime and maintain law and order. Today tackling cyber security is of utmost importance for the government,
Amit Shah As Home minister in the Modi-2 government ,the government will be in a better position to pursue a nationalism agenda and will be able carry forward many such other bills like revocation of article 370,National Register of Citizens(NCR) and combined with delivering many social welfare schemes to the masses .
Corona 19 management.
In wake of spur in the coronavirus cases in national capital Delhi, he is paying maximum attention towards this and has been personally overseeing the Covid-19 management here, he is seen visiting government hospitals in Delhi to review corona-19 preparedness in the government hospitals ,to provide all possible help to common man in Delhi who can't afford treatment at private hospitals, he hopes with better management of health services,community transmission can be averted,
He has also announced a series of measures to tackle the Corona--19 disease in the national capital,those including helping Delhi Government in increasing testing three times,providing 500 converted rail coaches to add 8,000 beds and steps for the availability of 60 per cent coronavirus beds in private hospitals at lower rates,fixed rates for Coronavirus test Rs 2400/ , Other steps taken 1,000 bed hospitals with 250 ICU and World's largest 10,000 bed quarantine center for Corona-virus patients was made operational , he had announced testing will be doubled immediately and trebled subsequently,revamping of the entire containment zone strategy,more "robust contact tracing" Door to door survey in Delhi's containment zones, Home Minister also ordered for the strengthening of the medicals services in the areas most affected by Coronavirus.

For effective monitoring, he advised the residents to download the Aarogya Setu app on their mobile phones,
He believes India is in a better position to fight battle against Coron-19 due to government and people's will and determination as covid 19 is a most contagious disease which has challenged the very existence of human beings,it is affecting irrespective of Rich or poor .
Permanent flood solution in Bihar, UP & NE.
Another priority for Home Minister Amit Shah is, he wants a robust action plan to find a permanent solution to the perennial flood problem, which Uttar Pradesh,Bihar and West Bengal and north eastern states face every year during the monsoon season, to minimise the loss of human lives and property,
He also wants a well planned scheme b y the India Meteorological Department (IMD) for forecasting the floods and about the rise of rivers in water catchment areas so that preventive measures can be taken,there are a bout 40 million hectares of land area which is prone to floods in the areas of Ganga and Brahmaputra basins, he has also directed officials for better coordination among various agencies especially National Disaster Response force (NDRF),
This government decision will go a long way to mitigate the sufferings of millions of people in that region,who every year have to face the fury of floods resulting in the damage to their precious lives, displacement of thousands of people,standing crops , livelihood and property, standing crops,also flood badly affects generation --old biodiversity.
Amit Shah Persona.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, was not only a popular choice among BJP's 325 legislators, he is also a highly popular chief Minister who commands a giant following in eastern UP and adjoining areas,being the Mahant (Head priest) of Gorakhnath Temple,today he is highly popular leader in UP.
When Yogi Aditynath was elected for the post of Chief Minister of UP ,there were many names doing the rounds, like Veteran Leader and then Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Minister Manoj Sinha and UP party president and Phulpur MP Keshav Prasad Maurya.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Party President Amit Shah were also fully aware of the matter of the fact that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) could be unreceptive on the name of Yogi Aditynath as the chief Minister of UP, as his equation with it was patchy, despite their strong ideological beliefs of Hindutva which both binds them. In the end, what tipped the scales in the favour of Yogi Aditynath were the several reasons offered by party leaders,his supporters,veteran Journalists,other political analysts and reports from various government and private sources covering UP.
Another important factor worked in his favour was, Yogi Adityanath who is the high priest of the ‘Gorakhnath Math’,which has never been identified with a caste (although by tradition, all maths in the country have a tradition of a Brahmins as priests), but Yogi Aditynath is a kshatriya (Rajput) by caste and the community fervently celebrated his elevation , he was an “extremely popular” leader, no political luggage ,does not belong to any political dynasty, he was young only 45 years of age, he was single and, therefore, free of the corrupt practices that political’ families allegedly get into; his “uncompromising” stand on Hindutva; he is young and a “tough” administrator;
Aditynath Yogi's past as Mahant or chief priest of the Gorakhpur Peeth or sect is an added advantage of him. He wears saffron attire like Sadhus in the Hindu religious tradition. Like Modi, he lives alone. He is unmarried and can't be faulted for wanting to earn money or privileges for a family. He does not live with his parents either. When he was adopted by his guru, he had renounced familial ties and has since then been living like a 'saint'. Other BJP leaders have to prove their Hindu credentials, but it comes naturally to him.
Finally the decision was left to the then Party President Amit Shah to discover the “charisma” of Yogi Adityanath from his work as a parliamentarian(Lok Sabha MP) for the last 19 years looking into all these factors,BJP high command selected him for the post of Chief Minister.
Yogi Adityanath as Chief Minister.
After 2017 assembly elections ,When Yogi Aditynath took over as the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, he had no personal baggage, in Lucknow the UP capital, it has been seen, bureaucracy has always been playing a strong role , corruption was widespread, he projected himself as a leader with refreshing toughness and austerity and who means business, who want to work and change system for the betterment of the state.
His message was very loud and clear to government officials that there is no place for corruption in his government, police have to be very tough with law breakers and help those who need assistance.
He also made it very clear to government officials that they have to work extra hours to complete their work, hence bureaucrats and Station House officers(SHO) were said to be afraid to ask for bribes from the public. He also warned officials, if there is any case of corruption there will be swift action.
Everyone has seen his spirit of waging a war against Japanese Encephalitis in Gorakhpur, today he has waged a similar war against various illnesses of Uttar Pradesh-- be it crime or corruption.
Yogi Adityanath.
Yogi Adityanath's rise from a simple village boy from a Garhwali Thakur family (Birth name Ajay Mohan Singh Bisht) from the hinterlands of Pauri, Garhwal, Uttarakhand with normal rural upbringing ,to the post of High priest of the revered Gorakhnath Math in Gorakhpur which is known for the power-packed politics of eastern UP, five times member of the Lok Sabha (M P),a active parliamentarian, the youngest MP at age of 26 and finally to the post of Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, India's biggest and most populous state that too in span of little over two decades, it is a one of the greatest achievement for the any politician in the contemporary history of India and who he has proved his mettle as a Chief Minister of UP with good administrations.
Rashtriya swayamsevak sangh (RSS) and Hindu Maha sabha have the same strong Hindu ideology ,After the BJP and the Sangh Parivar joined the Ayodhya movement in the 1980s, the two strands of Hindu nationalism came together. earlier Mahant Avaidynath who represented Hindu mahasabha, as Gorakhnath Temple has always political inclination and when Mahant Avaidyanath switched to the BJP in 1991, He was elected MP from the same seat in 1991 and 1996 as Bharatiya Janata Party nominee
Yogi Adityanath has not been associated with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ( RSS) and he had joined BJP in 1998 and became MP, he is from Gorakhnath math which have long association with Hindu Mahasabha association .
Yogi Aditynath is widely known as the people's man who does not mind going the extra mile for his supporters who have stood by him for almost two decades.
Countrywide Yogi Adityanath is known as a hard taskmaster, strong administrator and incorruptible. He leads a simple life style, he does not use the air conditioner, sleeps on a hard mattress on the floor , eats very simple yogic diet and sometimes at night he eats only apples for dinner ,
Yogi Adityanath Persona.
How to describe Yogi Adityanath persona beyond of a firebrand Hindutva leader,who is seen in politics as a highly polarizing figure,who has proved his mettle during his nineteen-year tenure as an MP(Lok Sabha), As a deft administrator heading one of the biggest math's in Uttar Pradesh Gorakhnath math with not less than forty institutions? Or an able chief minister of India's most populous state, who is fully committed for the welfare of the people, developmental work and providing good governance? who is fully committed to bring back the past glory for UP .
We can describe Yogi's multifaceted personality,a wonderful combination of qualities of a saint and a mass leader and a good administrator who has devoted his life for the welfare of a common man,such a personality is rarely seen in public life in the contemporary history of post independent India.
Yogi Adiyyanath from his younger days , had a great passion for public service and politics, not religion,from his student days in college he used to take part in student activism.
In Gorakhpur, it is to his credit that people around the temple, hold him with extremely high esteem, irrespective of caste, community or religion they belong to, even Muslims around the Gorakhnath temple are given protection by the Yogi's men and they all have good words to speak for him,if one visits the Gorakhnath math and ask the Muslims in his constituency. He is not against minorities Muslims or Christians.
He is a very hard working, highly dedicated and disciplined person, after getting up early morning ,and will work till the midnight, he is fond of Gau sewa (Cow service) , he is a person of simple tests who wakes up at 3:00 am in the morning and goes to bed after 11:00 pm, he eats simple food, and known as frugal eater and strictly follow Adhyatmik Hindi Paddhati of living as followed by his spiritual guru Avidhynath, who has a specialist interest in yoga and spirituality, Yoga is part of his every day's life
Yogi Aditynath has a massive following only in Easter parts of UP East and the Terai region ,today he is a hugely popular political leader across India probably after Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He is a star campaigner for his party BJP,who campaigns all over the country in different elections while running the affairs of the state of UP, though many a times he has courted controversies over his public statements in the past, still he remains a hugely popular leader countrywide, in his public meetings, huge crowds are seen.
Yogi Aditynath's added advantage is, his past as the Mahant (chief priest) of a prominent Math of Eastern UP Gorakhnath Temple, A famous Hindu temple, which has a significant following in eastern Uttar Pradesh and the Terai regions of Nepal ,according to the principles of saint Gorakhnath, this math(Temple) does not follow the caste conventions, as other Maths (temples) groups follow of having a Brahmins as Mahant (Chief priest).
Even non- Brahmins may also serve as priests here, Yogi Adityanath the present Mahant (Head priest) of Gorakhnath Temple is Kshatriyas (Rajput) from Pauri Garhwal in Uttarakhand.
Thus his past as Mahant or chief priest of the Gorakhnath Peeth or sect is an added advantage of him being without the baggage of family, He wears saffron attire like Sadhus in the Hindu religious tradition.
Like many leaders in politics, Yogi Adiyanath does not belong to the category of 'Virasat ki siasat' (politics of inheritance), he has no God father in Politics, he has achieved this position through sheer hard work like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Yogi Adityananth's commitment to public life is exemplary,which rarely seen in present day politics .
Like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he lives alone, he is unmarried and can't be faulted for wanting to earn money or privileges for his family. He does not live with his parents either. When he was adopted by his guru , he renounced familial ties and has since then lived like a true 'saint' (Yogi). Other BJP leaders have to prove their Hindu credentials, but for Yogi Adityanath it comes naturally to him.
He is a totally committed persona towards his public duties, when he received the news of his father’s demise, he was in the important meeting with officials of the core group on COVID-19, he got up only when he completed his meeting after 45 minutes.
He wears saffron attire of Sadhus of Hindu religions, he lives alone in the chief Minister residence in the capital Lucknow like prime Minister Narendra Modi lives alone in prime Minister House in Delhi , Yogi Adityanath had renounced his family, when he was adopted by the Mahant Avaidyanath then Mahant of Gorakhnath Math , and
Since then he has been living alone ,Yogi Aditynath is not married and there has not been one single instance of a ny allegation of favouritism or wrongdoing against him.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is credited with taking India to an unprecedented height, same is with yogi Aditynath is doing, taking UP to its past glory with is development work and better law and order,
Yogi Adityanath has proved as a mass leader in his own right with following his countrywide popularity, Slowly he is building his pan India image as Modi No 2.
Narendra Modi In the seven year of his period as prime minister, he has transformed India into a nation to reckon , he has introduced string of welfares scheme for the betterment of lower and middle class people of India to establish a regime of social justice and public welfare , Similarly Yogi Adityanath is following Narendra Modi's development model in Uttar Pradesh, with good governance and a string of welfare schemes benefitting the middle class and economically weaker section of society.
For historians, Yogi Aditynath's life is a very interesting subject to pen a book,who rose from a nondescript village in Uttrakhand to the mahant of a highly revered Math Gorakhnath Math in Gorakhpur, eventually to the post of the Chief Minister of largest state in country Uttar Pradesh.
A Powerful Public Speaker .
Yogi Aditynath possesses a reputation of being a formidable public speaker, his oratory skills are unmatched, unlike other politicians , he speaks straight ,which is appreciated by one and all.
Yogi Aditynath, when he speaks at the public platforms, he has the capacity to shrewdly assess the audience and take up their specific issues, which will connect him with the audience till the end. He will mesmerize the audience with his superbly speech, main agenda of his speeches have always been about the Development of UP and improvement of Law and order, during his speeches he always says he wants to bring back the past glorious days of UP.
In march 21st,2017,When Yogi Aditynath resigned from the membership of the Lok Sabha ,after he was elected for the post of Chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, during the farewell speech in parliament house, while addressing the members of Parliament, unlike his popular perception of him being a firebrand leader, he won the hearts of members with his wits and even made the opposition leaders laugh at his sense of his humour, it clearly shows he has the capacity to shrewdly assess the audience and speak accordingly.
Construction of the Ram temple
(During Yogi Adityanath's tenure as Chief Minister of UP.)
After the historical and unanimous judgement of the Hon Supreme court of India about the Ram Janam-Bhoomi dispute, Chief Minister Yogi Adianta feels proud that the construction of the temple has begun during his tenure
as the chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.
Inspired by the Ram temple movement, Yogi Adityanath (then Ajay singh Bishit),as a fresh graduate from Pauri Garhwal , visited Gorakhpur,there after meeting with the Mahant Avaidyanath then head priest of Gorkhnath temple, he decided to renounce family life, took Diksha, and became disciple of Avaidyanath and Monk of the Nath panth, finally after the death of his Guru Avaidyanth , he became Mahant of Gorakhnath math.
Gorakhnath Math has played a pivotal role in the Ayodhya movement under three Mahants---Digvijay Singh, Avaidyanath and Yogi Aditynath
Achievements of Yogi Adityanath Government (Governance in UP).
During his first term as Chief minister of India's most populous state Uttar Pradesh, he has been fully devoted to good governance. and he has proved his credential as an administrator par excellence with several good steps taken benefiting for the welfare of people, as he comes from most humble background who understand people's pain, he is sensitive to their problems and wants to solve them and wants to rejuvenate their life with first class infrastructure ,housing for poor,good medicare,good education facilities and best law and order, so that people from India and abroad come to UP and invests ,it will improve economy , Thus he has made UP a role model for other states of country.
In 2017 During his first term as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh , the India' most populous state with 75 districts and 24 crores population, he has had to prove that he can administrator very well and deliver results, which he has proved with his legendary work ,that he is a tough administrator and who can run the government effectively and efficiently. which is visible in the last four and half years of his governance ,
After taking over as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Aditynath, unlike past governments, in his four-and-half years of his government in state, he has singularly focused on the development and improvement in Law and order in UP and he has succeeded to the large extent.
Law and order.
Yogi Aditynath government has waged a war against various illnesses of Uttar Pradesh-be it crime or corruption
and has struck at the root of the mafia's and paved the way for a safer and secure state of Uttar Pradesh.
About the law-and-order situation in Uttar Pradesh, the chief minister said, 'In this biggest state of the country, the government has succeeded in maintaining law and order which was very poor during previous regimes.
Under Yogi Adityanth government ,law-and-order situation in Uttar Pradesh has improved a lot ,as chief Minister Yogi Adityanth has rightly said, 'In this biggest state of the country, the government has succeeded in maintaining law and order which was very poor during previous regimes
High Point of Yogi Aditynath governance is, zero tolerance policy towards crime, Law and order has improved to the large extent,forming of Anti-Romeo squads is another landmark decision by his government, earlier there were daily cases of kidnapping, robbery and eve teasing ,today these things are very rarely heard, common man can freely roam around, earlier ladies were scared to go out, now they are feeling much safer and have started going out ,petty crimes have been effectively curbed such as thefts ,Motor bike lifting, Chain snatching highway robberies and eve teasing etc. Crime in the state is declining fast.'
Yogi Aditynath after taking over as chief Minister of UP, not a single communal riot has taken place in Uttar Pradesh in the past four and a half years
Today people are feeling safe while riding their motorcycles back home after work even late at night. earlier people were scared somebody would rob their belongings on the way back to the villages.
His government has put a lot of high profile criminals in jail, confiscated their properties.
Ordinary people in the state believe this strategy of the Yogi Adityanath's government has been very effective in controlling crime, In fact there is general perception among the populace that the Yogi government has effectively managed to clamp down on organized crimes.
There was time in UP, when there was a perception that criminals were believed to be above the law of the land, as they had the strong patronage of political parties, but during Yogi government's four and half years rule, strong action has been taken across the board ,lot of big mafia dons are behind the bars ,
Police in UP are independent to take action against criminals as there is no interference from the government side, hence the common man is feeling much safer,this crackdowns on organized crime has brought much relief for common people of the state who have seen Mafia ruling the roost for long.
In short Gangsters politician-nexus has been completely smashed by police who were running extortion racket in UP, today there is a view across the board that in UP streets have become much safer,
Modernizing U.P Police .
In 2017,When Yogi Adityanath took over as Chief Minister of UP, it was found that the state police force was functioning at 48 percent of its capacity, which is less than half of its total sanctioned strength, poor police strength would mean there aren't enough personnel to effectively ensure law and order and carry out other police duties like traffic management, crime detection, effective police patrolling and VIP security.
In this direction the UP government took effective steps and improved police infrastructure by capacity addition with the recruitment of additional manpower, provided modern communication gadgets and at the police station level infrastructure was improved, sub-inspectors ( 9,534) and 1.44 lacks police constables were recruited.

"Post Modi Era" Prime Minister "Yogi Adityanath".
(Possible candidate for the "Post Modi Era " Prime Minister)
Uttar Pradesh with 24 crore people(240 millions) and 80 Lok Sabha seats, will always Play a crucial role in the formation of the Union government and selection of country's next prime Minister , it is also a very crucial political pieces in the India's electoral puzzle, After independence of country, Uttar Pradesh has given many Prime Ministers for the country, Nine out of 14 Prime ministers of Independent India have been from UP, starting from first prime Minister Jawarlal Nehru to the incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is Lok Sabha Member from Varanasi(UP).
In the Post Modi Era, The Uttar Pradesh has given yet another strong prospect for the post of the Prime Minister's office, Yogi Adityanath, a monk ,who in 2017,became the 21st Chief Minister, one of the most populous state of India and has done tremendous developmental work for the state, which unseen in recent times.
Though there is a very strong perception in the country and a large number of people in the country still want Narendra Modi to continue in the office of Prime Minister after his second term gets over in 2024 till 2029 (2024-2029).
While the popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains extremely high despite seven years in office,there is no personnel anti incumbency against Modi, in-case he demits office after 2024,speculation have begun to rise as to who can replace him in the post Modi era as prime minister of India, even when Narendra Modi turns 75 years of age, large number of Indians still want him to continue in the office of Prime Minister till 2029, such is the pan India image Narendra Modihe enjoys .
Yogi Adityanath,present Chief Minister of UP has made a grand All India image of a popular leader, the State has given yet another prospect of Yogi Adityanath for the Prime Minister's office , There is no doubt Prime Minister Narendra Modi Is credited for taking BJP to unprecedented height pan India and UP under Yogi Adityanath as Chief Minister has made all round strides , hence Yogi Adityanath is automatically on top of the list of a potential prime Minister of India.
Yogi's past as Mahant or chief priest of the famous Gorkhnath Peeth which has a strong Hindutva ideology since very long,is an added advantage. He wears saffron attire like Sadhus in the Hindu religious tradition. Yogi Adityanath, like prime minister Narendra Modi, lives alone. He is unmarried and can't be faulted for wanting to earn money or privileges for a family. He does not live with his parents either.
When he was adopted by his guru Mahant Avaidyanath at the age of 21, he had renounced all familial and worldly ties and has since then lived like a 'saint' or Monk. But other prominent BJP leaders have to prove their Hindu credentials, but it comes naturally to Yogi Adityanath.
Like many leaders in politics, Yogi Adiyanath does not belong to the category of 'Virasat ki siasat' (politics of inheritance), he has no God father in Politics, he has achieved this position through sheer hard work like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Yogi Adityannth's commitment to public life is exemplary,which rarely seen in present day politics .
Like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who lives alone in the Prime Minister residence ,in New Delhi, Yogi Adityanath lives alone in the Chief Minister house in State capital Lucknow, he is unmarried and can't be faulted for wanting to earn money or privileges for his family. He does not live with his parents either. When he was adopted by his guru , he had renounced familial ties and has since then lived like a true 'saint' (Yogi). Other BJP leaders have to prove their Hindu credentials, but for Yogi Adityanath it comes naturally to him.
There has not been one single instance of any allegation of favouritism or wrongdoing against him.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is credited with taking India to an unprecedented height, same is with yogi Aditynath is doing, taking UP to its past glory with is development work and better law and order,
Yogi Adityanath has proved himself as a mass leader in his own right with following his countrywide popularity, Slowly he is building his pan India image among top national leaders.
Hence Yogi Aditynath can be one of the best possible potential candidate for the post of prime minister post Modi-Era (2029) along Amit Shah, Nitin Gadkari, Rajnath Singh,Devendra Fadnavis, Scindia,Piyush Goel and unless at the last movement some surprise name comes up for the post of Prime minister of India,all these leaders are men of high integrity with vast administration experience and have been in long time in public life.
Hence Yogi Adityanath is among the top of anybody's list as a best possible potential contender for the post of prime minister in post Modi Era to succeed Narendra Modi, he is definitely a among top potential contender to succeed Narendra Modi along with others.
He is young, 20 years younger than Narendra Modi, who has provided good and corruption free government in Uttar Pradesh, with his developmental work,law and order has vastly improved,Corona-19 was very well managed, he has rapidly transferred the image of Uttar Pradesh to a model state , he has established himself more of a mainstream politician who is respected in country-wide as a leader who is a tough task master and can deliver things like Narinder Modi,
Thus Aditynath Yogi has put himself as a possible best candidate as a replacement to Modi in case Modi decides to step down to make way for another leader.
He has also hired a dedicated team of professionals to build his image as a best performing chief Minister of a large state like UP, 2019, highly successful investor summit(2019) has brought his government to the national and international fora .
Aditynath Yogi's demand as a star campaigner across India among the voters is infectious. In his election rallies,huge crowd is witnessed , people wait till he ends his speech
After Narendra Modi he is the most sought after star BJP campaigner in the state elections not only in UP and northern belt, even in the outside the northern belt. He is seen making speeches from Tripura to Kerala and from Hyderabad to Assam and West Bengal. So among 'Hindutva' voters, his appeal is universal.
As he positions himself as a replacement for Modi, Will he make the transition and be acceptable not only in his own party but also to the larger audience? that will be seen in coming days
He is a tough administrator ,everyone has seen his spirit of waging a war against Japanese Encephalitis in Gorakhpur, today he has waged a similar war against various illnesses of Uttar Pradesh-- be it crime or corruption.
Thus Yogi Adityanath's government has definitely responded to the needs of people and has earned their trust with good governance to the state, Uttar Pradesh under his capable leadership will go to greater heights. He will definitely emerge as a leader who has worked for the people of the state irrespective of caste, religion and region.
I think in the contemporary history of India, we will never see the likes of a leader like Yogi Adityanath in politics. who does not care in taking difficult decisions as he does not care to stay in power. Yogi Adityanath is truly an inspiration for countrymen, especially for young. He has definitely made a name in history.

Political journey of Shri Advani ji,
Shri L.K.Advani ji, in his long and illustrative political career spanning for about seven decades, he has served the country in different positions with great distinction,where his conduct has been extremely exemplary and praise worthy.
Like many senior leaders of Bhartiya Jan Sangh and present BJP's, Shri Advani ji has also a long and eventful association with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh( R.S.S) since his school days, he joined the RSS in 1942 as a 14-year-old school boy in Sindh province of United India , which facilitated his entry in Politics,during that period
not many people in Sindh Province had even heard about Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) , He became a P racharak (full-time worker) of the Karachi branch in Sindh and developed several S hakhas there.
After Partition,when Shri Advani ji migrated to India, he was sent as a P racharak to Matsya-Alwar in Rajasthan
which had witnessed communal violence following Partition, He worked in Alwar, Bharatpur , Kota, Bundi and
Jhalawar districts of Rajasthan until 1952.
In 1951,Shri Advani ji became the member of newly formed Bhartiya Jan Sangh(BJS), which was formed by Shri Syama Prasad Mookerjee in 1951 in Delhi in collaboration with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as a "nationalistic alternative" to the Congress party.for some time he worked with the Shri S. S. Bhandari, then General Secretary of the Jana Sangh in Rajasthan,
Then Shri Advani ji moved to national politics in Delhi,his political career started rising,soon Party recognized his talent, sincerity and commitment , he was seen as a rising star along Shri Vajpayee ji, He soon became the General Secretary and,later,President of the Delhi unit of the Jana sangh,After the 1967 elections he became
the leader of the city's Metropolitan Council,after serving various position in then Jansangh ,In 1973, during the
Kanpur session of the party's working committee, Shri Advani ji became the President of jan sngh .
Shri Advani ji,has always been known as a strong crusader of freedom and equality,during proclamation of emergency(1975-77),On 25th June,1975,when Smt Indira Gandhi invoked emergency,under which she assumed almost all powers,civil liberties were suspended,Shri Advani ji along Shri Vajpaee ji,S hri Deve Gowda,
Shri Madhu Dandwate,Shri PGR Sindhia ji Ji,Shri J.H.Patel ji and many others prominent leaders of oppositions parties,were detained under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act(MISA),Sri Advani ji,considers his stay in detention during emergency,as an important milestone of his life,where he came across the contact of other stalwart of Indian politics ,and people from different background,
In 1977, When Emergency was lifted by Smt Indira Gandhi , parliamentary elections were called ,the Jana Sangh and many other opposition parties merged into the single political entity Janata Party at the call of Loknayak Shri Jaypraksh Narayan, Shri Advani ji,Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji other colleagues,joined Janata Party and fought the Lok Sabha Elections of 1977 as members of the Janata Party.
The widespread unpopularity of Emergency period gave the Janata Party and its allies a land slide victory
in the 1977 general election. Shri Morarji Desai became the Prime Minister of the country,Shr Advani became the Minister of Information and Broadcasting, During his ministerial tenure, he abolished press censorship, repealed all anti press legislation enacted during the period of national emergency, and institutionalized reforms to safeguard the freedom of the media.
Despite a strong start,the Janata government began to wither,as the significant ideological and political divisions emerged along its constituents and could not remain as cohesive political force,t hen the earth while
members of the Jana sangh quit the Janata Party and formed the new Bharatiya Janata Party in 1980.
Shri Advani became a central figure of the newly founded BJP and represented the party in the Rajya Sabha
for two terms beginning in 1982,In 1986, Shri Advani ji was appointed as the President of BJP.
In 1986,looking into Shri Advani ji's organisational capacities and his wide connect with BJP cadre in the country,he was appointed as the president of this newly formed BJP,today which had become a alternative to congress,After he took over as President, he changed the face of BJP and propelled the party to a greater heights. In 1998, BJP came back with a bang with alliance governance of NDA. L.K. Advani was appointed home minister(1999-2004) and the Deputy Prime Minister(2002-2004).
Shri Advani ji,throughout the latter half of the 1980's and the 1990's, he fully focused on the singular task of building the B.J.P into a strong national cohesive political force alternative to Congress party.The results of his efforts were underscored during the 1989 General Election when BJP bounced back and its tally rose to impressive figure of 86 seats from single digit (2 seats) in 1984 general elections.
Under visionary and dynamic leadership of Shri Lal Kishin Advani ji,the Party position moved up to 121 seats in 1992 and 161 in 1996 ;thus making the 1996 general parliamentary elections results, a watershed in Indian democracy,for the first time since independence,the Congress was dethroned from its prominent position
and the BJP became the single largest party in the Lok Sabha.
And the result was,and whole country know, BJP's brand of Hindutva politics that Shri Advani ji introduced with an eye on grabbing power at the center,very well succeeded ,BJP got 162 seats in 1996 parliamentary general
elections and 182 seat in 1999 parliamentary elections,BJP led NDA government was formed under Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji as prime Minister .
During the NDA(1999-2004), Shri Advani ji assumed the office of Home Minister and he was later elevated to the position of Deputy Prime Minister.As Union Home Minister, Advani ji had a tough time,when India was facing a string of internal disturbances in the form of rebel attacks allegedly supported by Pakistan. Still the NDA government lasted for its full term of five years till 2004, the only non-Congress government to do so.
It is a well-documented fact that with Atal Bihari Vajpayee as president, whose approach to religion is regarded as ‘moderate’, BJP couldn’t gain the support it needed to challenge the clout of Congress and other regional parties.had it not been the smart political campaign led by L.K. Advani in the late 1980's, the BJP even today couldn't have emerged as such a formidable political force.
Shri Advani's contribution to the rise of the Hindutva as a political force.
Shri L.K. Advani ji 's contribution to the rise of the Hindutva,as a strong political force,in the mainstream political party,is unparalleled any where, It was Shri Advani ji, who always formulated the ideological positioning of the party on key Hindutva issues like the Ram temple movement and Shah Bano case, that changed the political discourse in India,
Hindutva issues were the great master stroke by Shi Advani ji that laid the foundation for the emergence of the BJP as an alternative political force to the Congress at the national stage.
Several Veteran political analysts and historians in the country, may have categorized the Shri L.K Advani ji's method of Rath yatra as hard line Hindutva and undermined the contributions of Shri Advani ji , but to him,that piece of land in Ayodhya, belonged to the Hindu God and asserting this in a peaceful manner through his Rath Yatras was no unlawful act.
Shri Advaniji"s Rath yatras.
In last three decades,Shri Advani ji(1990-2018),has taken series of long Rath Yatra's traversing the entire country, working to broaden electoral base for BJP, This strategy of him,was largely responsible for the BJP’s electoral success in the parliamentary elections in 1998 and 1999.during his Yatras,thousands of people will line up to see Shri Advani ji ,these Yatra's not only boosted party's image but it established Shri Advani ji as a key leader of masses.
Shri Advani ji has so far, undertaken more Yatras than any other political leader in India, till now he has undertaken 6 Yatras throughout India. he started his first Ayodhya Ram Rath Yatra, (1990) from Somnath temple, in Gujarat on 25 September 1990 which finally reached Ayodhya on 30 October 1990. This Yatra was u ndertaken to consolidate support for the Ram temple in Ayodhya , Other Yatra of Shri Advani ji's were Janadesh Yatra (1993), Swarna Jayanti Rath Yatra(1997), Bharat Uday Yatra( 2004), Bharat Surakhsha Yatra (2006) and Jan Chetna Y atra(2011),
In 1990,when Shri L.K.Advani ji decided to embark upon his first historical 'Rath Yatra' in 1990, known as "Ram Rath Yatra",from famous Somnath temple in Gujarat to Ayodhyain UP, to create awareness among Hindus about the need to build the Ram temple at Ayodhya, It was his longest Rath Yatra which impacted the most to galvanized the votes for BJP, in this Yatra, he traversed 10,000 km.
Thus under Shri Advani ji,the BJP became the political face of the Ram Janmabhoomi campaign.
The result of this Ram Rath yatra(1990) was,we all better know in the country,it was the advent of BJP's brand of Hindutva that Shri Advani ji introduced with an eye on grabbing power at the center,and he succeeded in his mission,BJP got 162 seats in 1996 parliamentary general elections, 182 seat in 1999 parliamentary elections, and BJP led NDA government was formed under Shri Vajpayee ji.
BJP's main idea behind the launching of Bharat Surakhsha Yatra(2006) was to make citizens conscious of
growing threats terrorism,corruption and decisive politics of UPA and non performance.
For all these Yatra's,Shri Advaniji has been known as eternal Yatri or Eternal chariotor,Yatra in Sanskrit
means a journey of pilgrimage.
Shri L K Advani's contribution towards rise of BJP.
In country,not only Sangh parivar but everybody will agrees this,that large credit for turning newly political party BJP(1980) into a mainstream party should go to the visionary leadership of Shri Lal Kishin Advani ji.
Shri L.K.Advani ji has always been a great organisation man,who built the newly politcal outfit BJP not only through induction of several promising leaders leaders with potential but also through issues like the Ram temple movement etc, As a result the loyalty that he enjoyed among the grassroots party workers was most note -worthy, he has always been great source of support and inspiration for party workers, he is always open and receptive
In 1986, when Shri Advani ji was appointed as the president of BJP, he changed the face of BJP and propelled the party to greater heights. In 1998 and 1999, when BJP came back with a bang with alliance governance of NDA. Shri L.K. Advani ji became first Home minister and then was appointed as the Deputy Prime Minister(2002-2004)
Shi Aadvani' ji policies ,the advent of BJP's brand of Hindutva that he introduced with an eye on grabbing power at the center, which succeeded,BJP got 161 seats in 1996 parliamentary general elections and 182 seat in 1999
parliamentary elections,and BJP led NDA government was formed under Shri Vajpayee ji which lasted full five year term.
Under Shri Advani, the BJP became the political face of the Ram Janmabhoomi campaign,his first yatra "Ram Rath Yatra" (1990),further boosted the electoral prospects of BJP which gave electoral success in 1999 parliamentary elections.
"Advani ji and Vajpayee" ji Comrades in arms,
In the post independent history of India,t he relations between Shri Advani ji and Shri Vajpayee ji will go down as one of the most remarkable political and personel partnership,they were comrade in arms and colleagues for about seven decades,with deep respect for each others,in spite of this, they were also political adversaries as well,with deep differences on many organisation and governmental issues,each had his own loyalists and camp followers, specially in Hindi heart land states,where BJP had been in government.
Inspite of Shri Advani ji and Vajpayee ji 's formidable personel equation with each other,their different political beliefs led them to somewhat different political journey and camp followers,Shri Vajpayee ji was known to swing the moderate votes of country,but it was his comrade in arm and long time freind L.K.Advani,who energized the core BJP hindutva support base,thus BJP came into power with 161 seats in 1996 general elections,in 1999,
BJP won182 in and BJP led NDA government was formed(1999-2004) .
Shri Advani ji would have been the prime minister in 1999,as he had immensely contributed in the rise of BJP,
but he graciously conceded the Prime Ministerial position to his seven decade old freind Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee in deference to the latter's seniority,both shared relation, which goes beyond their politics.
Both the leaders love for literature and cinema and their common background as journalists (Advani ji used to write film reviews), which further cemented their friendship,many BJP leaders, used to concede that these iconic leaders had their share of differences over many organisational issues,but both had also a strong tactical
understanding, where if one of them had spoken on a particular subject in public,the other person would not contradict it in public even in case of his disagreement on this issue,Also there were many movements in their life, when both friends were joined by their shared pain and enduring friendship.
They both were colleagues in the first Janata party governmnet(1977), formed under Shri Morarji Desai,which was formed post-emergency with Shri Vajpayee as foreign minister and and Shri Advani holding the information and broadcasting portfolio. After the Janata government fell and new political party Bhartiya Janata party(BJP) was formed, It was Shri Advani ji started began strengthening the new party.
In 1989,when Janata dal governmnet led Shri VP Singh was formed,Shri Advani ji played a instrumental in supporting this governmnet. BJP withdrew support to the Shri V P Singh government, when Advani’s Rath yatra was stopped at Samastipur by then Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad in 1990.
Shri Vajpayee ji swung the moderate votes,but it was his seven decades freind and Comrade in arms ,Shri L.K.Advani ji who engineered the BJP"s support base of core voters,
Once Shri Vajpayee said about Shri Advani ji,people tend to assume that Shri Advani ji is very hard to deal,but our is a several decades old relationship,sometimes he has his way, some times i have.
Shri Advani and Shri Vajpayyee ji both owed their loyalty to Rashtriya swaysevk sangh.
Shri Vajpayyee ji and Shri Advani ji both joined Rashtriya swaysevk sangh(RSS) during their school days as a Swayamsevak,and slowly rose through the ranks of RSS,also both joined Bharatiya Jan sangh(BJS) when RSS deputed some of its finest and hard core workers to this new political outfit, Bharatiya Jan sangh(BJS),formed by Shri Shyama Prasad Mukherjee,who was its first president,they worked hard and build the party organisation from scratch,which is today the successor to the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP),
Advani ji's tribute to vajpayee when he passed way,
When Vajpayee ji passed away on 16th April , Shri Advani ji said, To me, Atalji was more than a senior colleague- in fact he was my closest friend for over 65 years, I cherish the best of his memories of my long association with him, right from our days as when we both were Pracharaks of the RSS, to the inception of Bharatiya Jana Singh, the struggle of the dark months during the Emergency leading to the formation of Janata Party and later the emergence of the Bharatiya Janata Party in 1980.

In short span of about one and half decades(1989-2005),rising to the position of chairwoman of Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and finally First Female chancellor of Germany is a great achievements as she has not been a career politician but she had shifted her career from scientist to politicians in 1989,following the 2005 Federal elections in Germany,Merkel became the First Female chancellor of Germany and led the grand coalition consisting of CDU and she also became a leading figures of the European Union.
She was then known as the protegee of then Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who first appointed her in the federal cabinet as the
Minister for Women and Youth in 1991 in the unified Germany government, thus bringing Angela Merkel into the mainstream German politics,Chancellor Helmut Kohl seeing her potential,commitment and her eagerness to serve people, he appointed her in the prominent ministry and made her Minister for the Environment,Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety in 1994.
After the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) lost power in the 1998 federal election, Angela Merkel was elected CDU General Secretary and became the party's first female leader and the first female Leader of the opposition two years later.
Year 2005, was the beginning of Markel Era in Germany ,when early elections were called, Christian Democratic Union (CDU)
dealt the major below to SPD,which was then a ruling party, winning more than ten state elections ,most of these victories were landslide victories, after these 2005, federal election, Angela Merkel was appointed to succeed Gerhard Schroder as Chancellor of Germany, she led a grand coalition parties consisting of the CDU as the main constitute, since then she has served the Chancellor of Germany for record four terms till she decided to retire in 2021.
Thus Angela Merkel was the first woman to be elected as German Chancellor and the first Chancellor who was raised in the former East Germany,Outgoing Chancellor Angela Markel's main focus was on holding the European Union(EU) together,she was seen as the crisis manager of the European Union(EU) a role that was evident during the brexit negotiation with UK, Euroone and during the Covid crisis,
All major crisis Eurozone and Covid crises she handled the situation like a statesman.
Germany under Angela Markel leadership, came on the world stage, when America slowly started abandoning its role as global leader.
"MANAGING CORONA PANDEMIC".
Amidst the coronavirus crisis, Angela Markel's work has been hailed in Germany and even more so globally, her early handling of the coronavirus outbreak in a timely manner with much solidarity, many experts have attributed the Germany’s successful handling Corona-19 to the early widespread measures and early testing for the virus, among other things beside Angela Markel past as a scientist, as Initially the medical fraternity around the world didn't know much about this coronavirus pandemic.
Under her leadership, Germany handled the corona pandemic very well, thus her government's efficient Handling of Corona Pandemic has boosted her reputation and popularity at home and abroad
Germany led the European governments efforts to address the impact of the pandemic in a most timely and scientific manner.
It is widely believed that Angela Markel's past profession as a scientist helped her to take early steps before entering politics .
German people think, country has handled the outbreak very well in a timely manner, the people are much more likely to have a favorable view of Germany and confidence in Merkel leadership which was apparent in every public survey.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has won international plaudits for her handling of the pandemic in Germany .
ANGELA MARKEL A TRUE HUMANITARIAN (HANDLING OF REFUGEE"S CRISIS).
(MANY PEOPLE CALLED ANJELA MARKEL "ANGEL OF MERCY".)
The German Chancellor had more than compassion for refugees, over a million migrants had fled their home countries in Syria Iraq and Afghanistan due to civil strife in their country and flocked to the European Union (EU),Germany was faced with Europe's gravest refugee crisis since world war II.
It must be acknowledged that in several ways the handling of the refugee crisis of 2015-16, was Angela Markel's finest hour and it was also acknowledged worldwide, the ways she handled the refugees crisis, it has shown her statesmanship.
In late August 2015,during the height of the European migrant crisis,Germany opened its doors to millions of refugees, when other nations shut doors for them, she said Germany will never build a new fence against the people who are refugees of civil war in their country and who only want to save their lives and the lives of their children.
Angela Markel had lived in East Germany and had seen the Berlin Wall which divided East and west Germany through a fence.
It was one of the greatest humanitarian gestures of Angela Merkel's government,when she suspended the European provisions which stipulated that asylum seekers must seek asylum in the first EU country of their arrival, Instead Merkel went beyond this and announced that Germany would also process asylum seekers' applications of these refugees if they had come to Germany through other EU countries. that year, nearly 1.1 million asylum seekers entered Germany.
Opposition to her government's decision to admit the new wave of migrants into Germany was strong and coupled with a rise in anti-immigration protests, but she declared we can manage this crisis.
Another politician in her place might have baulked at this very idea of playing the host to so many refugees from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and others countries, which led to a surge in the nationalist sentiment in Germany, but Markel stood her ground and declared that Germany can manage this humanitarian crisis and insisted that it has the economic strength to cope with the influx of migrants, and these people needed to be helped,Germany opened its border for these refugees,it was an unexpected and unprecedented human crisis unseen in past several decades, Germany has total accommodated 1.7 millions asylum seeker.
She will be remembered in the history as the woman who saved the dignity of Europe ,while other politicians were maneuvering to use the refugees issue to their advantage for electoral gain, but Markel viewed this is purely on Humanitarian ground, she viewed this as the hour of truth for a Christian democracy, how Europe treat these refugees who have no place to go, they have run away from their country due to civil strife, hence how Europe treats these people was a testament to how to treat a human beings ,for Markel this Refugees crisis was a turning point to demonstrate how to act responsibly during such humanitarian crisis when others were looking other way.
She has shown to the world new Germany leaving behind her Nazi past, when she allowed Syrian refugees in Germany during the Syrian crisis of 2015,
GERMANY'S NAZI PAST".
Angela Markel is such a great historical figure in Germany, Europe and the world,whom world will ever like to have it, who fully understands past German history, brutal Hitler regime(Nazi Germany),Second World War II, holocausts and the division of German nation, hence she wanted to shelve the Germany's Nazi past into a humanitarian power for which she was greatly successful,
Angela Markel's upbringing was in East Germany which helped her to take such a decision as she had moved to East Germany as an infant with her poster father.
Thus by admitting these refugees for whom other nations had closed doors, she brought great respect not only for herself but for the German nation as whole.
ANGELA MARKEL RECEIVED NATIONWIDE "STANDING OVATION".
On 24th June,2021,after Markel decided to step down as German Chancellor, she spoke for the last time in German Parliament and thanked the nation for their love and support, the reaction of the Germans was unprecedented, In the history of the Germany or any country,it was the first time that the entire German population went out to the balconies of their houses and clapped for her spontaneously for six continuous minutes. A standing ovation nationwide at the end,Something unprecedented.
ANGELA MERKEL "A PRESENT DAY MANDELA".
I think when South African leader Nelson Mandela was alive, he was the biggest and most respected global leader, international emblem of dignity and forbearance,I think now it is Angela Marker .
"I quote Nelson Mandela" he once said, "It is easy to break down and destroy", but the Hero's are those who make peace and build.
Aspiring leaders around the world have a lot to learn from Angela Markel,how a leader should be, leaders like Angela Markel are revered not because of their power but for Charisma and ability to deliver things ,which she has amply demonstrated during her distinguished career as the German chancellor for 16 years, she leaves behind a grand legacy which is unmatched and source of inspiration for upcoming generation of leaders .
She is definitely present day Nelson Mandela and a voice of compromise on the global stage.
GLOBAL RECOGNITION".
Despite the challenge to her authority in the September election, Merkel topped Forbes' list of the most powerful women in the world for the seventh consecutive year in 2017, and for the 12th time overall.
WHAT NEXT FOR ANGELA MARKEL (SECRETARY GENERAL OF U.N.O)
Angela Marlel is a visionary leader ,even after she steps down from chancellorship,she would definitely remain in public life like a great statesman in one form or another and will continue to guide us for long.
Today's world body, the United Nations Organisations(UNO) needs a strong,mature and widely experienced person in international diplomacy to head it.
Angela markel fits the bill,she has amply demonstrated the role of a statesman and peacemaker several times,with her skillful negotiations,she negotiated with Russia during its annexation of Crimea,she was fully backed by White House when Barack Obama was US president,she certainly has that charisma and statesmanship,beside she has been chancellor of Germany for 16 years , her handling of Refugees crisis will definitely help her.
During her tenure as Chancellor, Merkel has been frequently referred to as the de facto leader of the European Union
Today the world is going through a crisis.She certainly has the charisma to head UNO.
To leave the high office of Chancellor of Germany ,when you are at the top is something great and she is leaving the office of German Chancellor when she has been recognized as the biggest and most respected global leader, her respect is at the peak in Germany , Europe and globally.
There is definitely a vacuum of power in Germany and in Europe, we hope the next German Chancellor will take forward the great legacy of Angela Merkel.
It definitely shows off her persona of wanting to give a chance to the next generation of leaders to be the next German leaders for chancellor .

Sir, Captain Amarinder Singh, who has stepped down as the chief Minister of Border state of Punjab is one of the tallest leader of Punjab after Late Sardar Pratap singh Kairon,who was the third chief Minister of Punjab, known as the Architect of Modern Punjab, Capt Amarider Singh is known for the sterling credentials,respected as a military historian , political moderator and for his forth-rightness and in particular for his strong views on matters related to national security and the Indian armed forces , his stand on larger national cause is highly commendable, which he has amply demonstrated on more than one occasion and is respect across political spectrum.
Captain Amarinder Singh is the only the second Congress leader to complete a full term as Punjab chief minister, in fact his second term as chief Minister was cut short by a few months due to political reasons.
During his both terms as Chief Minister, there was political and overall stability in Punjab except during the last few months of his second term.
Capt Amarinder Singh has definitely retained as a image of gentleman politician,who has earned the good will in most parts of rural Punjab for his e fficient handling of procurement, attending to farmers problem and indirect support to farmers agitation , he is also a highly popular with Ex servicemen who are in substantial numbers in all parts of Punjab.
He is not only popular with sikh community but with Hindus as well,who comprise about 40% of Punjab population, In fact in 2017 assembly election it was Hindu population which supported Congress in a big way and tilted the electoral results in favour of Congress.
For the grand old Congress Party ,retaining Capt. Amarinder Singh would have been much better than changing Chief Minister at the last movements, this change will not send a good message to the people across the nation for the Congress party, though BJP has changed the chief Ministers in Karnataka, Uttarakhand and Gujarat but BJP has an ability to change the state leadership because BJP has a culture of organization discipline and union government is headed under the stewardship of the Narendra Modi a strong leader.
Changing the Chief Minister like Capt Amarinder Singh who is definitely a political stalwart that too few months before the assembly elections may not go well with People of the Punjab,the Grand old party Congress should have taken this decision looking into larger national and organization perspectives.
They should further refrain from changing other chief ministers until the next elections.

He is known for his sterling credentials, a highly respected military historian, war veteran,prolific writer who has written several books of historical importance ,a political moderator known for his forth-rightness and in particular for strong views on matters related to national security and armed forces, his stand on larger national cause is highly commendable which he has amply demonstrated on more than one occasion and is respect across political spectrum.
After the late Pratap Singh Kairon,the third chief Minister of Punjab, widely considered as the irrefutable builder of modern Punjab post Independent India , Cap Amarinder Singh has been the considered as the most astute leader in the state, who has always combined his vision and administrative acumen, but the greatest contribution of him as chief Minister of Punjab will be, who restored the communal harmony, he always speaks about national issues and who maintained high standard in Public life.
He is not only popular with Sikh community but hugely popular with Hindus as well, who comprise about 40% of Punjab population, In fact in 2017 assembly election it was Hindu population which supported Congress in a big way and tilted the electoral results in favour of Congress.
Captain Amarinder Singh is the only the second Congress leader to complete a full term as Punjab chief minister in fact his second term as chief Minister was cut short by a few months due to political reasons.
During his both the terms as Chief Minister, political and overall stability was seen in Punjab except during the last few months of his second term.
Capt Amarinder Singh has emerged as a formidable leader in Punjab who has provided good governance during both his terms as chief Minister, with his strong drive for developmental work, he has undertaken several good decisions benefitting the common man of Punjab, he has also done remarkable work on the several fronts such as improving law and order,forming a Special Task Force (STF) to control drug menace which had reached to an alarming situation in Punjab,Drug addiction was ruining the lives of youngsters especially in rural Punjab,Debt waiver of farmers, Employment generation, as individual land holdings of farmers is shrinking due to expansion of families hence he has been working hard to generate employment outside the agriculture field.

His government has ensured hassle free and transparent Government services to the people of Punjab with emphasis on use of technology , he has put a lot of government service on an online basis,which has benefited the common man and has saved a large number of people from far away places to visit the government offices for work.
Captain Amarinder Singh,has amply demonstrated,during his second term as Chief Minister when Indian National Congress (INC) got a massive mandate in 2017 assembly elections , he is the indisputable mass leader and who is in full command of Punjab affairs and he would not like any interference from any quarter.
Cap Amarinder Singh by virtue of his exceptional leadership,has emerged as the undisputedly the tallest leader of Punjab, leading the Congress party in the front and steering the victory in every election since 2017 assembly, including 2019 Lok sabha and and Local bodies elections,recently he has been seen more aggressive in his approach and has come out in open to lead from front, Akali- Dal which has always been a formable political force in Punjab especially among peasantries, which has been considerable weakened due to virtual absence of its patriarch leader Sardar Parkash Singh Badal,His son Sukhbir Singh Badal is at the helm of affairs of SAD. Aam Aadmi party(AAP) which was also a formidable force in 2014 General elections and also in 2017 assembly elections had won only 20 assembly seats , it has also been considerably weakened.
During the 2019 parliamentary elections, Capt Amarinder had shown his best of leadership qualities,when congress romped home to an impressive victory beating the combined might of BJP-Akali dal and Aam Aadmi party(AAP), congress improved its tally from 3 to 8 and BJP-Akali Dal got two each and AAP got just one.Today in Punjab, Capt Amarinder Singh is no doubt the undisputed leader of Punjab,as Shiromani Akali dal(SAD) and BJP are on on different sides after Shiromani Akali dal (SAD) had withdrawn its nominee Harsimrat kaur from union cabinet cabinet over differences of farm bills.
In his distinguished career spanning over four decades,he has served the country in different capacities with great distinction,and has always stood against politics of appeasement and opted for politics of ideology, democratic values and social change, he enjoys a sterling reputation as an upright leader who wants to see a strong and self-reliant nation . he is one of the most prominent individuals in the Punjab politics and even he is respected nationwide.
Cap Amarinder Singh is the son of Maharaja Yadavindra Singh and Maharani Mohinder Kaur of Patiala belonging to the Phulkian dynasty, he was educated at the famous residential schools Lawrence School and Doon School,in spite of belonging to the Royal family of Patiala, he always wanted to serve in the armed forces, thus living up to his ambition, after completing his school, he joined National Defense Academy(NDA) Khadakwasla and Indian Military academy (IMA), after passing out from there in 1963, he was commissioned in the Army in the Sikh regiment, Captain Amarinder Singh served in Indian Army from June 1963 to December 1966, he is one of most notable alumni of National Defence Academy(NDA) Khadakwasla,
His wife, Preneet Kaur, is also a veteran politician,who has been Member of the Lok Sabha multiple times and was Minister of State in the Ministry of External Affairs.
In 1965,Cap Amarinder Singh had already resigned from Army , when the hostilities broke out with Pakistan, he rejoined the army again as a captain, in spite of being from the Royal family of Patiala, for him,service to the nation was foremost thing in his life, he had actively participated in the 1965 Indo-Pakistan war in the Sikh Regiment, he also had the privilege of serving as the aide-de-camp(ADC) to the General officer commander-in-chief(GOC) of the Western Command Lt General Harbaksh Singh Vr Cross, who was credited of playing a heroic and stellar role in the western front in the defence of Punjab in 1965.
Cap Amarinder singh was inducted in politics by Rajiv Gandhi ,who was his high school friend,In 1980, for the first time, he contested parliamentary election and won, but in 1984 he resigned from congress due to operation Blue star, following this he joined Shiromani Akali dal(SAD),and contested assembly election from Talwandi sabo and became a cabinet minister in the state government for Agriculture,Forest, Development and Panchayats but later he rejoined the Congress party,since then he has been a senior member of Congress party, he has the distinction of serving as the President of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee(PPCC) on three occasions(1999 to 2002, 2010 to 2013 and 2015 to 2017).
After 2002,Punjab assembly election, he was elected leader of congress legislative party and became first time Chief Minister of Punjab(2002--2007), if we trace the career graph of Amarinder Singh, who reached his pinnacle of his career ,when Congress party won 62 assembly seat in 2002 assembly elections and he became the chief minister of Punjab in February 2002.

Parkash Singh Badal from SAD became the Chief Minister of Punjab.During 2014 ,Lok sabha election he contested from the prestigious Amritsar seat against veteran BJP leader Arun Jaitley,In 2014,when massive Narendra Modi wave was sweeping across the country,but his charisma and reputation of a being strong leader, he was still able to defeat the veteran BJP leader Arun Jaitley by over 100,000 votes,who went on to be Finance minister in the Narendra Modi cabinet.
In 2017, Amarinder Singh --after a gap of ten years --led the Congress party in assembly elections to a spectacular comeback and was able to overcome the challenge posed by SAD and Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) to register a landslide win for the Congress party in the state by winning 77 seats out of 117 assembly seats and he took over as the 15th chief minister of Punjab.He is also a permanent invitee to the Congress Working Committee(CWC).
In 2017, he took over as chief Minister for the second time, he ordered a big crackdown on Drug syndicates by the Punjab police , drugs business has been flourishing in state in especially in the rural parts of Punjab,where youngsters have been very badly addicted to drugs,to control the ramput drug menace, he formed the STF headed by an highly upright IPS officer and comprising very dedicated and upright police officers to take on flourishing the drug trade.
He is of the strong view,that a monstrous Drug crisis is staring on nation in the form of drug addiction among the youngsters, the drug abuse has been brushed under the carpet for long by successive governments, drugs are being smuggled for long from Pakistan border in large quantities, Pakistan's game plan is to addictate the youth of the country , especially the northern belt in particular the Punjab state, as this belt sends more than two third of soldiers in the army and in paramilitary forces.
Even militancy in Punjab which is backed from across the border is fully controlled.

He is a true nationalist, known for his forthrightness and strong views on matters related to national security and the Indian army,his stand on larger national cause is highly commendable,which he has amply demonstrated on more than one occasion, he has always taken strong and principled stand against terrorism,this he has shown when he refused to meet the Canadian Defence Minister Harjit Singh Sajjan,a Sikh,who has pro-Khalistan leanings.
Though he belongs to opposition party party,Indian national congress(INC),but his views on national security have always been on par with national policy, he always speaks like as a true soldier, taking on not just on the Pakistani Prime minister Imran Khan but also on the pakistan army chief and the ISI,his statements have always been of a true nationalist, in a direct attack, he had been repeatedly urging caution over the matters related to Pakistan, About opening of Kartarpur Corridor,Though Kartarpur is the holiest shrine of Sikhs and final resting place of first sikh Guru Nanak, but he had warned that Pakistan was trying to win the sympathies of the Sikhs by opening the Kartarpur corridor to further the ISI-backed nefarious agenda to destabilize India .

Punjab Government should boost job opportunities to stop migration of youths to Canada.
There is a big silent migration of Punjab's youths to Canada and to some extent to Australia,especially from rural parts of Punjab, which points to lack of job opportunities for them in Punjab,farmers are selling their prime agricultural land to finance the immigration of children to Canada and other places .
Capt Amarinder Singh should form a blueprint for the industrialization of Punjab,Punjabi's have always been very good at mechanical skills , hence Punjab is a right place for putting the industries due to availability of highly technical manpower,also Punjab should focus on improving and further expanding government run education sector,that will attract youths , health is another sector where Punjab government need to focus on improving the infrastructure of the government hospitals.
His government should also improve modernization of Agriculture which will boost the income of peasantry.
Combination of these factors will definitely create large employment opportunities for youths in the state that will definitely reduce the migration of Punjab's youths to Canada .

Sir,German Chancellor Angela Merkel has become the longest serving European leader. She has emerged as a great leader who can take tough decisions. Today, the world is short of statesmen and need more leaders of the stature of Merkel. Merkel's policy of accepting Syrian refugees earned her huge respect.
Her victory means another decade of prosperity for Germany even when there is a global economic slowdown. The US has apparently vacated the position of the leadership of the western world.

It is heartening to learn that Bollywood’s most iconic actor, Amitabh Bachchan has been unanimously selected with this year’s Dadasaheb Phalke award (“Amitabh Bachchan humbled by Dadasaheb Phalke honour”, Gulf News, September 25). He is being recognised for his outstanding contribution to films. In my opinion, for Bachchan, this award comes late in his career.
The Dadasaheb Phalke award is India’s highest and most prestigious cinema award for artists, which is given in the name of Dadasaheb Phalke, for his lifetime contribution to Indian cinema. It was instituted in 1969.
Bachchan rose to stardom in Hindi cinema with his ‘angry young man’ persona. His stellar roles captured the audience’s heart in his hit films like Zanzeer, Deewar and Sholay. Despite being a huge star, he appears on television as the host of the popular television show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, India’s version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
He is still the same charismatic performer that he was five decades ago and is equally popular in Pakistan and the UAE.
In a career spanning five decades, Bachchan has given memorable performances and has been awarded the National Film Award, Padma Shri (1984),Padma Bhushan (2001) and Padma Vibhushan (2015). Bachchan’s Dadasaheb Phalke award is much deserved.

Sir, Prof Vasudev Devnani, who is presently serving as the speaker of the 16th Assembly of Rajasthan is a very honest, dynamic and workaholic politician,
He is a veteran politician who has been five term MLA of Rajasthan assemble,
he was Minister of state in Vasundhara Raje government in 2003-2008 and again Minister of State with an independent charge for primary and secondary education in the Ministry of Vasundhara Raje in 2013-18.
Generally, members of Sindhi community are in Business as by tradition, as Sindhis give more emphasis on business than on education,
but Vasudev Devnani is a rare type of personality who persuaded Engineering and chose teaching profession, as he always wanted to serve people since he joined electoral politics,
after retiring as Principal of a highly reputed college in Udaipur Vidya Bhawan Polytechnic College.
Mr.Vasudev Devnani was born in Ajmer (Rajasthan), after schooling he got admission in one of the most prestigious Engineering College of the country MBM Engineering College, Jodhpur,
after passing out B.E(elec) he started his career in teaching profession and went on to become the Principal/Dean of Vidhyabhan Polytechnic College in Udaipur, this post he held for 12 long years.
While serving there, he distinguished himself as a fair minded teacher who took keen interest in education and for welfare activities of students.
Vasudev Devnani chose to serve nation rather go to west for lucrative jobs:
During the early 1970's, young graduate engineers from reputed Engineering colleges from India will go to USA for higher studies post-graduate and settle there,
But Prof Devnani was a nationalist to the core, after passing out from one of the most prestigious Engineering college of those days, MBM engineering college, Jodhpur,
he had the option of working in the private sector or in government departments as Engineer even he could have gone abroad for better prospects,
but he chose to stay in the country and work in the noblest profession of teaching.
Entry into electoral politics:
He is a man of principles and strong beliefs, he believes in simple living and high thinking and never cared for fame, from young age only,
he was attracted towards Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and later its student wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP),
he had the honour to serve as the state president of ABVP for nine years, subsequently he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Prof Devnani always wanted to serve people at large, hence he opted to be in public life rather than continue serving in the cushy post of Dean/Principal in Vidhyabhan Polytechnic College in Udaipur,
hence he resigned from this post and joined active politics and contested assembly election (2003) and was appointed minister of state in the first Vasundhra cabinet (2003).
Prof Devnani has been five terms member of Rajasthan legislative assembly (M.L.A), starting from 2003, and subsequently in 2008, 2013, 2018 and 2023 from same Ajmer North constituency,
he was minister in the first Vasundhra Raje Scindia cabinet in 2003 and again in 2013 with minister with independent charge for primary and secondary education of the state.
Vasudev Devnani persona:
Vasudev Devnani is persona of embodiment simplicity, honesty and humility, he is a rare class of personality who is deeply concerned about poor people of the society,
you will rarely find such people in present day politics, he joined the politics only to serve people, for him, for Shri Vasdev Devnani post or not, does not make much of the difference,
he understands the issues concerning common man, he is a source of inspiration for young politicians.
He is an eminent educationist, excellent administrator par excellence and visionary, he staunchly believes the importance of imparting the quality education so that students from government school can also shine like students of private schools,
as a minister in charge for primary and secondary education, he tried his best to improve the quality of education in government schools,
in this regard he will frequently and extensively travel different parts of state to oversee his mission of providing quality education in government schools at par with private schools.
Mr.Devnani believes when you are in positions of power, one must help those who are the most needy, in his effort to help such people, he always tries to help those who approach him for any help,
whether the person is from his constituency or not.
Patriotism and Indian values: (Notable reforms as Education Minister)
Prof Devnani has always been nationalist at deepest of heart since his younger days, he believes the need to instill nationalism in children from their younger days, he always says,
it was necessary to inculcate a "feeling of patriotism" in the students, when he was the Rajasthan education minister of state for primary and secondary education,
lot of historical steps were taken to connect past glorious history of India with present day generation.
Hence it was decided that Rajasthan University history MA students should be taught about the 450 years old history of Rajput warrior Maharana Pratap, in March 2016 another notable step he took was,
that major changes were made in the school curriculum by including the biographies of our freedom fighters to let the present day generation know about our glorious past.
Speaker of Rajasthan assembly:
In 2023, when BJP won the 2023 assembly elections with thumping majority, looking his integrity and distinguished public service,
veteran leader shri Vasdev Devnani who is also five term MLA from Ajmer North constituency was unanimously elected as the speaker of the 16th Rajasthan assembly,
his name was proposed by Chief Minister Bhajan lal Sharma and seconded by Congress leader Sachin pilot who is MLA from Tonk assembly Constituency,
The house passed the motion with voice vote by legislature from both sides Treasurer and opposition benches.
In his distinguished career as education and politician spanning for about four and half decades, he has shined in all posts he held and has has set up an example of simplicity,
honesty and hard work, there had not been one single instance of any allegations of any wrong doings or corruptions against him or any of his family members.
Unquestionable probity in their public life:
Leaders like Vasudev Devnanai, who have maintained total unquestionable probity in their public life are difficult to come in the present political scenario in the country,
though he is in politics for about 20 years, but he has shown his capabilities as an able minister.
He is simple and approachable person, who is always available to meet the people and solve their problems "irrespective of any caste and religion,
He has earned the admiration from all walks of people for his dedication, sense of public service and simplicity, he has met the aspiration of People.

It is heartening to learn that Bollywood’s most iconic actor, Amitabh Bachchan has been unanimously selected with this year’s Dadasaheb Phalke award (“Amitabh Bachchan humbled by Dadasaheb Phalke honour”, Gulf News, September 25). He is being recognised for his outstanding contribution to films. In my opinion, for Bachchan, this award comes late in his career.
The Dadasaheb Phalke award is India’s highest and most prestigious cinema award for artists, which is given in the name of Dadasaheb Phalke, for his lifetime contribution to Indian cinema. It was instituted in 1969.
Bachchan rose to stardom in Hindi cinema with his ‘angry young man’ persona. His stellar roles captured the audience’s heart in his hit films like Zanzeer, Deewar and Sholay. Despite being a huge star, he appears on television as the host of the popular television show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, India’s version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
He is still the same charismatic performer that he was five decades ago and is equally popular in Pakistan and the UAE.
In a career spanning five decades, Bachchan has given memorable performances and has been awarded the National Film Award, Padma Shri (1984),Padma Bhushan (2001) and Padma Vibhushan (2015). Bachchan’s Dadasaheb Phalke award is much deserved.

Hamid Ansari has been elected for a second term as the vice president. It is the only second instance after Dr S Radhakrishnan who went on to become the president of India. As a chairman of the Rajya Sabha (RS), Ansari always carried out the proceedings of the House in the most distinguished manner and upheld the dignity of the chair.
He is respected by all the parties. He has taken many path-finding initiatives regarding the proceedings in RS, like taking up of questions even when members who listed them were absent. This way, he ensured that the questions did not lapse. He also took the initiative of making RS a paperless office. Ansari was an ambassador to UAE and Saudi Arabia and headed India’s permanent mission at the UN. After retiring from IFS, he served as the vice-chancellor of the Aligarh Muslim University and as chairman of National Minorities Commission.
He is also a recipient of the Padma Shri. He is a great consensus maker and as the vice-president of India, he will always be a great asset to nation. In fact, a better and experienced person for this position will be hard to find.

For millions in the Country, LK Advani will be remembered as a man instrumental in making BJP a frontline party in Indian politics. He helped form a sustainable opposition in Parliament for democracy to function well. He has served the nation in his full capacity, and in spite of a few blemishes, his integrity as a leader cannot be questioned.
For many, Advani will remain one of the tallest leaders and only time will judge his greatness. Moreover, by stepping down from his post as the leader of Opposition to make way for younger leaders, Advani has exhibited his generosity once again. Now with Nitin Gadkari, a dynamic go-getter at the helm of BJP's affairs, we hope the party strives to become better.

Amarinder Singh who is serving as 15th chief Minister of Punjab,is a powerful administrator and a highly popular leader in the state. In 2017 assembly elections,in spite of massive Modi wave sweeping the country, he brought a handsome victory for the Indian National congress(INC) and was elected as the chief minister of Punjab for the second term, he has also served in the Indian army as an officer with the rank of captain, though he belongs to the R oyal family of Patiala ,still he wanted to serve the Army and wear the military uniform with pride. he is still called a Maharaja,it is because of the rapport, which he has built with his people in Punjab especially in Patiala, he is also popularly known as Captain Amarinder singh, shortened to Captain Saheb.
Capt Amarinder Singh has emerged as a formidable leader in Punjab and provided good governance, with his strong drive for developmental work, he has undertaken several good decisions benefitting the common man of Punjab, he has also done remarkable work on the several fronts such as improving law and order,forming a Special Task Force(STF) to control drug menace which had reached to an alarming situation in Punjab,which was ruining the lives of youngsters especially in rural Punjab,Debt waiver of farmers, Employment generation, as individual land holdings of farmers is shrinking due to expansion of families, hence he has been working hard to generate employment outside the agriculture field.

Dal which has always been a formable political force in Punjab especially among peasantries,has been considerable weakened due to virtual absence of its patriarch leader Sardar Parkash Singh Badal,his son Sukhbir Singh Badal is at the helm of affairs. Aam Aadmi party(AAP) which was also a formidable force in 2014 parliamentary elections and also in 2017 assembly elections had won only 20 assembly seats , it has also weakened considerably.
During the 2019 parliamentary elections, Capt Amarinder had shown his best of leadership qualities,when congress romped
romped home to an impressive victory beating the combined might of BJP-Akali dal and Aam Aadmi party(AAP), congress improved its tally from 3 to 8 and BJP-Akali Dal got two each and AAP got just one.Today in Punjab capt Amarinder Singh is not doubt the undisputed leader of Punjab,as Shiromani Akali dal(SAD) and BJP are on on different sides after Shiromani Akali dal (SAD) had withdrawn its nominee Harsimrat kaur from union cabinet cabinet over differences of farm bills.
In his distinguished career spanning over four decades, he has served the country in different capacities with great distinction,and has always stood against politics of appeasement and opted for politics of ideology,democratic values and social change,he enjoys a sterling reputation as an upright leader who wants to see a strong and self-reliant nation . he is one of the most prominent individuals in the Punjab politics,
Cap Amarinder Singh is the son of Maharaja Yadavindra Singh and Maharani Mohinder Kaur of Patiala belonging to the Phulkian dynasty, he was educated at the famous residential schools Lawrence School and Doon School,in spite of belonging to the Royal family of Patiala, he always wanted to serve in the armed forces, thus to living up to his ambition,after completing his school, he joined National Defence Academy(NDA) Khadakwasla and Indian Military academy(IMA), after passing out from there in 1963,and was commissioned in the Army in the Sikh regiment,Captain Amrinder Singh served in Indian Army from June 1963 to December 1966,and he is one of most notable alumni of National Defence Academy(NDA) Khadakwasla,

In 1965,Cap Amarinder Singh had already resigned from Army , when the hostilities broke out with Pakistan, he rejoined the army again as a captain, in spite of being from the Royal family of Patiala, for him,service to the nation was foremost thing in his life, he had actively participated in the 1965 Indo-pakistan war in the Sikh Regiment, he also has the privilege of serving as the aide-de-camp(ADC) to the General officer commander-in-chief(GOC) of the Western Command Lt General Harbaksh Singh Vr Cross, who was credited of playing a heroic and stellar role in the western front in the defence of Punjab in 1965.
Cap Amarinder singh was inducted in politics by Rajiv Gandhi ,who was his high school friend,In 1980, the first time he contested parliamentary election and won, but in 1984 he resigned from congress due to operation Blue star,following this he joined Shiromani Akali dal(SAD),and contested assembly election from Talwandi sabo and became a cabinet minister in the state government for Agriculture,Forest, Development and Panchayats but later he rejoined the Congress party,and since then he has been a senior member of Congress party, he has the distinction of serving as the President of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee(PPCC) on three occasions from 1999 to 2002, 2010 to 2013 and 2015 to 2017.
After 2002,Punjab assembly election, he was elected leader of congress legislative party and became first time Chief Minister of Punjab(2002--2007), if we trace the career graph of Amarinder Singh, who reached his pinnacle of his career,when Congress party won 62 assembly seat in 2002 assembly elections and he became the chief minister of Punjab in February 2002.
In the 2007 Assembly elections,Congress party lost the elections to the Shiromani Akali dal(SAD)--BJP alliance,and wrested power from congress. Parkash Singh Badal SAD became the Chief Minister of Punjab.During 2014 ,Lok sabha election, he contested from the prestigious Amritsar seat against veteran BJP leader Arun Jaitley,In 2014, when there was a massive Narendra Modi wave sweeping the country,but his charisma and reputation of a strong leader, he was still able to defeat the veteran BJP leader Arun Jaitley by over 100,000 votes,who went on to be Finance minister in the Narendra Modi cabinet.
In 2017, Amarinder Singh --after a gap of ten years --led the Congress party in assembly elections to a spectacular comeback and was able to overcome the challenge posed by SAD and Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) to register a landslide win for the Congress party in the state by winning 77 seats out of 117 assembly seats and he took over as the 15th chief minister of Punjab.He is also a permanent invitee to the Congress Working Committee(CWC).
In 2017, he took over as chief Minister for the second time, he ordered a big crackdown on Drug syndicates by the Punjab police , drugs business has been flourishing in state in especially in the rural parts of Punjab,where youngsters have been very badly addicted to drugs,to control the ramput drug menace, he formed the STF headed by an highly upright IPS officer and comprising very dedicated and upright police officers to take on flourishing the drug trade.
He is of the strong view,that a monstrous Drug crisis is staring on nation in the form of drug addiction among the youngsters, the drug abuse has been brushed under the carpet for long by successive governments, drugs are being smuggled for long from Pakistan border in large quantities, Pakistan's game plan is to addictated the youth of the country , especially the northern belt in particular the Punjab state, as this belt sends more than two third of soldiers in the army and in paramilitary forces.
Even militancy in Punjab which is backed from across the border is fully controlled.
Captain Amarinder Singh persona.
Captain Amarinder Singh is multi-talented leader of the era, A towering personality who has proved his mettle in politics, A royal who is the scion of earthwhile Royal family of Patiala in Punjab,Former Army officer and war veteran who had participated in 1965 war,A profile reader and writer and a military historian, a leading politician ,good administrator and one of the most powerful leader of congress congress party and 2nd time chief minister of Punjab, he is also one of the most powerful leaders in North India,A strong administrator who as a chief minister of the border state of Punjab,has provided good governance there, Captain Amarinder Singh is widely respected across party lines due to views on the national security.

True Nationalist.
He is a true nationalist, known for his forthrightness and strong views on matters related to national security and the Indian army,his stand on larger national cause is highly commendable,which he has amply demonstrated on more than one occasion, he has always taken strong and principled stand against terrorism,this he has shown when he refused to meet the Canadian
Defence Minister Harjit Singh Sajjan,a Sikh,who has pro-Khalistan leanings.
Though he belongs to opposition party party,Indian national congress(INC),but his views on national security have always been on par with national policy, he always speaks like a true soldier, taking on not just on the Pakistani Prime minister Imran Khan but also on the pakistan army chief and the ISI,his statesman have always been of a true nationalist, in a direct attack, he had been repeatedly urging caution over the matters related to Pakistan, About opening of Kartarpur Corridor,Though Kartarpur is the holiest shrine of Sikhs and final resting place of Guru Nanak, but he had warned that Pakistan was trying to win the sympathies of the Sikhs by opening the kartarpur corridor to further the ISI-backed nefarious agenda to destabilize India .

Capt Amarinder Singh,has clearly shown how Indian politicians – including own Congress party colleagues – should speak in one voice on the issue of terrorism and national security, with strength and determination.
Punjab Government should boost job opportunities to stop migration of youths to Canada.
There is a big silent migration of Punjab's youths to Canada and to some extent to Australia,especially from rural parts of Punjab which points to lack of job opportunities for them in Punjab,farmers are selling their prime agricultural land to finance the immigration of children.
Capt Amarinder Singh should form a blueprint for the industrialization of Punjab,Punjabi's are very good at mechanical skills , hence Punjab is a right place for putting the industries due to availability of highly technical manpower,also Punjab should focus on improving and further expanding government run education sector,that will attract youths , health is another sector where Punjab government need to focus on improving the infrastructure of the government hospitals.
His government should also improve modernization of Agriculture which will boost the income of peasantry
Combination of these factors will definitely create large employment opportunities for youths in the state that will definitely reduce the migration of Punjab's youths to Canada .

Custodian of Two Holy Mosques King Salman’s decision to give massive monetary compensation of SR1 million (about $266,705) to the families of the victims of the deadly crane collapse is reflective of his compassion and is a humanitarian gesture.
This will definitely go a long way in alleviating the suffering of those who have lost their relatives in a fatal accident when a gigantic crane fell upon the pilgrims who were praying at the Sacred Mosque, killing 111 of them.
Other equally compassionate decisions of the king include inviting two relatives of every deceased to perform Haj next year. They will be treated as king’s guests. The king has ordered best possible medical assistance to all those who were injured and this demonstrates the king’s utmost concern and care for the guests who had come to perform Haj.
These benevolent gestures are unparalleled, which shows generous nature of the king of Saudi Arabia for people affected by this tragic accident.
I really salute the king for making this large-hearted announcement. He is a true leader of not only the Islamic world but is indeed a statesman of global level. His response to the incident must have given a message to the world that the Kingdom takes care of its guests particularly during pilgrimage.

Mr Advani remains (and will remain) the tallest figure, and only history can judge such towering personalities. He is a mass leader who is not confined to a particular caste, region or constituency. Today, if Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has a pan-India appeal, so does Mr Advani. Not even his worst critics can deny his enormous contribution to the growth of the BJP.

India must seize this opportunity to open new era of partnership with Myanmar which is a potential gateway to the east.

The landslide victory of Ms Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar's recent parliamentary election is akin to the moment when Nelson Mandela walked out of jail to become President of a new South Africa. Both moments are rare and mark a triumph for democracy. Ms Suu Kyi spent many years under house arrest and it will indeed be a historic event if she finally leads her country, after her party won a free and fair election. She has already won the heart of millions of people at home and is respected worldwide.
Once at the helm, Ms Suu Kyi should take some concrete steps to alleviate the misery of the stateless Rohingya Muslims and work with the rest of the world to open up Myanmar as the great gateway to the East.

Shri Hariwansh throught his life, has been a socially concerned person,it was even seen during his tenure as a journalist, where he was a highly concerned about social issues,now as a Rajya sabha MP, he continues to a remain concerned parliamentarian,in this polarized world,his elevation to the office of the deputy chairman of Rajya Sabha will definitely bring some sanity in politics.
Shri Hariwansh is a persona of embodiment simplicity, suave,an illustrative parliamentarian,able administrator, gentleman,and above all a great consensus maker, respected across party spectrum of the country. he will definitely uphold the Constitution and the high standards set by his esteemed predecessors of the Rajya sabha .
Best wishes to Shri Hariwansh ji ,

It's indeed a landslide victory for Myanmar's democratic champion Aung San Suu Kyi. This reminds us of Nelson Mandela who had been incarcerated in jail for 27 years before walking out to become South Africa's president.
Suu Kyi, who spent decades of imprisonment in Myanmar, has finally come out to win overwhelmingly the parliamentary election.
Myanmar, after 25 years of military rule, is all set to hand power to Suu Kyi. These are indeed the memorable moments reflecting democracy's triumph.
Suu Kyi had the option to go into exile along with her family, but she chose to stay in the country remaining under house arrest for all these years. By taking a firm stand on a democratic form of government, she won many hearts in Myanmar and outside.
This is Myanmar's first free general election in decades, with massive turnout of 80 percent of the 30 million eligible voters, especially in the countryside.
Suu Kyi will however not find it easy as the road ahead is not full of roses. She would need to take concrete measures like the one on Rohingya issue. The minority Muslims have suffered a lot under the military junta and are deprived of their basic rights including the right to vote.
The world in general must seize this opportunity to open a new era of partnership with Myanmar, which is gateway to east.

Sir,German Chancellor Angela Merkel has become the longest serving European leader. She has emerged as a great leader who can take tough decisions. Today, the world is short of statesmen and need more leaders of the stature of Merkel. Merkel's policy of accepting Syrian refugees earned her huge respect.
Her victory means another decade of prosperity for Germany even when there is a global economic slowdown. The US has apparently vacated the position of the leadership of the western world.

Sir - The landslide victory of Myanmar's champion of democracy, Aung San Suu Kyi, in the country's recently held parliamentary elections reminds us of Nelson Mandela's achievements in South Africa. The latter was elected as the president of South Africa in 1994, after being released from prison.
Such memorable moments, although rare, mark a triumph of democracy. The world has waited for the release of Suu Kyi for a long time. She has been rewarded handsomely after spending decades under house arrest. Although she had the option of leaving the country and staying with her husband in exile, she chose to stay back and place herself under house arrest. Her fight for restoring democracy in Myanmar has found the support of millions, both at home and abroad. It was remarkable to witness the large turnout of voters, who queued up to exercize their democratic rights, braving the blazing sun.
Now that Suu Kyi and her party have won the elections, she should take some concrete steps for the welfare of the ethnic minorities of the country, such as the Rohingya Muslims, who have suffered a lot under the rule of the military junta. The world must seize this opportunity to start a new era of partnership with Myanmar, which happens to be the 'Gateway to the East'.

Dear Sir,
As a regular reader of Gulf Times online edition living outside Qatar, I would like to offer hearty congratulations to HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani who was handed the reins of power by his father HH Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani on Tuesday.
HH Sheikh Hamad’s decision to transfer power to the young heir apparent was historic.
Qatar, under the dynamic leadership of the Father Emir HH Sheikh Hamad, had developed into a political and economic powerhouse with multi-billion dollar investments across world. The Qatar government has wisely used its immense oil and gas wealth to drive modernisation in Qatar with world-class infrastructure projects. It was under Sheikh Hamad’s reign that Qatar had won the right to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Under Sheikh Hamad, Qatar’s economy had grown significantly. He was a selfless ruler who always kept the interest of the nation above everything. We pray Almighty that new ruler of Qatar, HH Sheikh Tamim, will continue the legacy of HH Sheikh Hamad, taking Qatar to new heights in development and playing a greater role in Middle East and world affairs.

Appointment of New Chief of Defence Staff Lt Gen Anil Chauhan (retd), military adviser to the National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS), is timely and most needed he will be the 2nd CDS of the country after the sad demise of 1st CDS Gen Bipin Singh Rawat in a helicopter crash.
Lt Gen Anil Chauhan is a highly experienced army officer who has held the significant positions like that of the GOC of the eastern command,Director Of Military Operation and has extensive counter insurgency experience in J and K and NE, he has wide experience on strategic and national security issues.
India's prevailing security environment is marked by regional instability with a nuclear overhang, on western front is Pakistan and on eastern sector is china and both have common agenda of destabilizing India, they can't see India inching towards a global economic power.
In Fact, Appointment of 1st CDS was a most significant step to carry out India's most significant military reform since Independence. The post of CDS is an institution that carries tremendous responsibility for modernizing Indian military, hence more than ever before, it is now necessary for the national security decision-makers to be given 'single-point military advice' that takes into account the operational strengths and weaknesses and the inter-dependence of each of the armed forces on the other to meet complex emerging challenges in a nuclear environment as both our neighbors are nuclear state ,
New CDS Lt Gen Anil Chauhan has a Hercules task to carry forward the unfinished agenda of his predecessor Gen Rawat, who was pushing forward agenda of the modernisaing and reorganization of the armed forces into the integrated theatre commands .

Sir,It is saddening to see how the post of the president of India is being tarnished in the name of caste, religion, community politics, etc. History tells us that all Indian presidents enjoyed a national consensus and brought laurels to the country. All of them played their respectives roles with utmost impartiality. With the UPA coalition government announcing Pranab Mukherjee, a veteran of Indian politics, as the presidential candidate, it is believed the credibility of the institution of the president will return. In the present circumstances, Mukherjee is the best choice as he holds a long and distinguished record of public service spanning over five decades. Already, several parties have announced their support to his candidature.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) too should come forward and support him. The 78-year-old Mukherjee is a man of unparalleled experience. Secular, sauve and respected across the country, he has in-depth knowledge of the Indian constitution, history, economy, as well as national and international politics. He has the rare distinction of having served the nation as the finance, defense and foreign minister, and of holding the post of the leader of the House in the Lok Sabha.
He has presided over Cabinet meetings for last 25 years in the absence of the prime minister and has headed a large number of committees of groups of ministers. Mukherjee is a highly educated man with degrees in history, political science and law, but he chose to serve the nation. He is also a devoted family man, and has two sons and a daughter. The need of the hour is to have a president who is acceptable across party lines and Mukherjee fits this criteria.

Sir,Prof Vasudev Devnani, who is a Minister of State with an independent charge for primary and secondary education in the present Vasundhra Raje governmnet in Rajsathan is a very Honest,dynamic and workaholic minister, Generally,We will find members of Sindhi community in Business As by tradition,Sindhis gives more emphasis on business than on education ,but he is a rare type of personality who has succeeded in politics after retiring as Principal of a highly reputed college in Udaipur Vidhyabhan Polytechnic College, Prof Devnani though after passing out from engineering college,had the option of working in privates sector or in governmnet departments as Engineer even he could have gone abroad for better prospects , but he chose to stay in the country and work in the noblest profession of teaching.
Mr Vasudev Devnani after passing out B.E(elec) ,started his career in teaching profession and went on to become the Principal /dean of Vidhyabhan Polytechnic College in Udaipur ,this post he held for 12 long years.while serving there , he distuingshed himself as a fair minded teacher who took keen interest in education and for welfare activities of students,But he always wanted to serve public at large, hence he opted to be in public life rather than continue serving in the cushy post of Dean/Principal in Vidhyabhan Polytechnic College in Udaipur , hence he resigned from this post and joined active politics and contested assembly
election (2003) and was appointed minister of state in the first Vasundhra cabinet(2003)
He is an Eminent educationist,excellent administrator par excellence and visionary, he staunchly believes the importance of imparting the quality education so that students from government school can also shine like students of private schools,as a minister in charge for primary and secondary education, he is trying his best to improve the quality of education in governmnet
schools,in this regard he frequently and extensively travels different parts of state to oversee his mission of providing quality education in government schools at par with private schools.
Vasudev Devnani is persona of embodiment simplicity,honesty and humility, he is a rare class of personality who is deeply concerned about poor people of the society, you will rarely find such people in present day politics, he joined the politics only to serve people, For him, post or not, does not make much of the difference, he understands the issues concerning common man, he is a source of inspiration for young politicians .
He is a man of principles and strong beliefs, he believes in simple living and high thinking and never cared for fame,From young age only , he was attracted towards Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and later its student wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad
(ABVP), he had the honour to serve as the state president of ABVP for nine years. Subsequently he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), he has been three terms member of Rajasthan legislative assembly (M.L.A),starting from 2003 ,and subsequently in 2008 and 2013 from Ajmer North constituency, he was minister in the first Vasundhra Raje Scindia cabinet in 2003 and again in 2013 with minister with independent charge for primary and secondary education of the state,
In his distinguished career as education and politician spanning for about four and half decades, he has shined in all posts he held and has has set up an example of simplicity, honesty and hard work, there had not been one single instance of any allegations of any wrong doings or corruptions against him or any of his family members,
Leaders like Vasudev devnanai ,who have maintained total unquestionable probity in their public life are difficult to come in the present politcal scenario in the country, tough he is in politics only only 15 years ,but he has shown his capabilities as an able minister.
He is simple and approachable person, who is always available to meet the people and solve their problems "irrespective of any caste and religion ,

I congratulate Karnataka Minister of Information and Infrastructure Development Santosh Lad and his dedicated team of IAS/IPS officers, doctors and paramedics on personally joining the relief and rescue operation in Uttarakhand in midst of and unprecedented disaster and under horrendous conditions.
This team has not only managed to send 1,000 people back home from Uttarakhand, but also continued to work under inclement weather, overseeing relief work to affected people. They provided help not only to pilgrims from Karnataka but to those from other states who were stranded there.
Also I laud to Chief Minister of Karnataka Siddaramaiah for sending Minister Lad and his team to oversee this humanitarian work.

The government must give Kodavas representation in the Rajya Sabha.
The Kodava Samaj has the responsibility of pre-serving their unique language, culture, identity and attire. Today, powerful social influence is collapsing due to rapid commercialization and migration of people for better prospects due to shrinking land holdings.
Also, the government must develop Kodagu as a tourist destination with better connectivity, infrastructure, and budget hotels.

Sir,Many great personalities/stalwarts have graced the Rajya Sabha as a members which is also known as House of elders and in recent times one of them who has shined is Mr S S Ahluwalia, sadly who is retiring after successfully completing his term successfully , but what has Stunned the Nation is that BJP has chosen not to renominate to him, as a protocol persons holding positions are renominated unless they choose themselves to opts out as he was also a deputy leader of apposition in Rajya Sabhaas.
As a member and deputy leader of house Apposition, Mr Ahluwalia had distinguished himself as an able Parliamentarian with his fiercely speeches in the house which earned respect and admiration from all members of house cutting Party line,In present atmosphere in the country when non important subjects take the toll of Parliament's time , Ahluwaia was a hard task master who was always highly concerned about present state of affairs in country.
In House parliament he chose subjects which were always important for common man and nation.he was also Minister, beside he presented many private members bills and was member of several important Parliament committees like security and banking transaction,scams,stock market scams,2G scams etc to probe irregularities.
Persons like Ahluwalia are not only assets for the party they belong to (BJP) but to entire politico's class and for nation as well, he is a rare class of personality who was deeply concerns and aspirations of poorest of poor and for this he earned the admiration of nation for his dedication, sense of public service and simplicity.
he was a person with unique identity and who always understood issues concerned common man in his fiery speeches which were always listened by all in the house with pin drop silence including by members of treasuries benches.
BJP should consider bringing him to Rajya Sabha at earliest or President of India should nominate such persons to House of elders which will bring prestige to the house.
