[Goanet] Watch "Modi’s Failed Economic Policies: Conversation w/Jayant Bhandari! Part 2" on YouTube

[Roland Francis]

Are you thinking that:
India is the next China?
India is on the way to superpower status?
India’s economy rises while all others’ drops?
India’s infrastructure development is envious?
The standard of living is continuously rising?

If your answer is yes, you are a victim of a false story created by the
Western Media in America’s new battle against China.

Jayant Bhandari advises western capital investors who need true
assessments, not fairy tales. Therefore worth listening to every moment of
this 90 minute discourse.

[Goanet] Kerala Government sues President Murmu for withholding assent for Bills

[Dr. Vivek Pinto]

>"In an unprecedented move, the Kerala Government on March 23 sued
President Droupadi Murmu for withholding assent for the four Bills passed
by the Kerala Legislature without disclosing any reasons and Kerala
Governor Arif Mohammed Khan for keeping the Bills pending for a long and
indefinite period and later reserving them for the consideration of the
President."

>"The State contends that the actions of the Union Government in advising
the President to withhold assent to Bills passed by the Legislative
Assembly 11 to 24 months back, which were wholly within the domain of the
State Government, subverted and disrupted the federal structure of the
Constitution. It was also a grave encroachment into the domain entrusted to
the State under the Constitution, it argued."

>"The reservation of the Bills by the Governor after keeping them pending
for up to 24 months was a deliberate attempt to avoid carrying out his
constitutional duty and functions under Article 200 of the Constitution.
Hence the reference of the Bills to the President has to be held to be
unconstitutional, the State would argue."

Kerala Government sues President Murmu for withholding assent for Bills

The State Government also appealed against Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed
Khan for keeping the Bills pending for a long and indefinite period and
later reserving them for the consideration of the President

In an unprecedented move, the Kerala Government on March 23 sued President
Droupadi Murmu for withholding assent for the four Bills passed by the
Kerala Legislature without disclosing any reasons and Kerala Governor Arif
Mohammed Khan for keeping the Bills pending for a long and indefinite
period and later reserving them for the consideration of the President.

The act of the President in withholding the assent for the four Bills
without giving any reason was highly arbitrary and in violation of Articles
14, 200 and 201 of the Constitution. The reference of the seven Bills to
the President

has to be recalled on the grounds of Constitutional morality, the State has
argued.

*Also Read | What was Kerala Governor doing for 2 years on Bills, asks
Supreme Court
*

The State has listed the Secretary to the President, the Kerala Governor
and the Additional Chief Secretary to the Governor as respondents in the
writ petition filed before the Supreme Court.

Kerala would be represented in the top court by a senior lawyer,
specialising in Constitutional matters and C.K. Sasi, its Standing Counsel.

The State contends that the actions of the Union Government in advising the
President to withhold assent to Bills passed by the Legislative Assembly 11
to 24 months back, which were wholly within the domain of the State
Government, subverted and disrupted the federal structure of the
Constitution. It was also a grave encroachment into the domain entrusted to
the State under the Constitution, it argued.

The reasons assigned by the Governor for reserving the Bills for the
consideration of the President had nothing to do with the Union of India or
the relationship between the Legislature of Kerala and the Union of India.
The actions of the Governor subverted the delicate balance envisaged by the
Constitution between the three organs of State, by rendering the
functioning of the elected executive, which drafted and introduced the
Bills, and then the State Legislature, which passed the Bills, wholly
ineffective and otiose. His actions also subverted the federal structure of
the Constitution, by reserving Bills, which are wholly within the domain of
the State under the Constitution, for the President, it contends.

The Governor, who reserved the seven Bills, avoided a decision from the
Supreme Court by bundling up seven of the eight pending Bills and referring
them to the President. The actions of the Governor lacked bona fides and
were not in good faith. The reservation of the Bills by the Governor after
keeping them pending for up to 24 months was a deliberate attempt to avoid
carrying out his constitutional duty and functions under Article 200 of the
Constitution. Hence the reference of the Bills to the President has to be
held to be unconstitutional, the State would argue.

"The India Report on Al Jazeera
The crackdown on India’s political opposition
Elections are weeks away in India and opposition parties are attempting to
take on the seemingly unstoppable juggernaut of Prime Minister Narendra
Modi, who is seeking a third consecutive term.
The opposition claims that Modi’s success rate has very little to do with
his governance – but more because scores of his political rivals have been
arrested or charged on questionable grounds. They say it has kneecapped the
opposition and gamed the political arena in favour of the governing party.
In this episode of The India Report, Sreenivasan Jain examines whether
these actions are – as the Prime Minister claims – part of his crusade
against high-level corruption, or an unprecedented campaign against the
opposition which is deeply dangerous to India’s democracy."

[Goanet] Modi’s Party Doesn’t Control All of India. But He’s Working on It.

[Dr. Vivek Pinto]

the courts — all have largely been bent to his [Prime Minister Narendra
Modi's] will. But one critical group of holdouts remains: some of India’s
richest states, the engine of its rapid growth."

>"They [ his opponents] accuse Mr. Modi’s administration of delaying
federal money for major projects; of jailing or hounding opposition leaders
while shielding anyone who joins the prime minister’s party; of obstructing
the delivery of basic services; and of throwing state politics into chaos."

other than his Bharatiya Janata Party, or B.J.P., to come on board."

works of their governments, officials say, making it difficult for them to
deliver on election promises. The B.J.P., relentlessly expanding its base,
waits in the wings."

>“'You’re playing with fire,' India’s chief justice, Dhananjaya Yeshwant
Chandrachud, told the central government
 after the
governor in the opposition-controlled state of Punjab repeatedly prevented
legislative work. 'Will we continue to be a parliamentary democracy?'”

for over a year. On Thursday, in a dramatic nighttime raid, government
agents arrested Arvind Kejriwa

financial crimes. He is the first serving chief minister to be arrested."

As an election nears, political strife between Prime Minister Narendra Modi
and opposition-held states is straining the federal formula that holds
India together.


It is the final frontier for India’s most powerful leader in decades.

Narendra Modi, over his 10 years as prime minister, has made it his mission
to turn a complex and diverse country of 1.4 billion people into something
approaching a monolith dominated by his sweeping Hindu nationalist vision.

The news media, the national legislature, civil society, sometimes even the
courts — all have largely been bent to his will. But one critical group of
holdouts remains: some of India’s richest states, the engine of its rapid
growth.

The future shape of the world’s largest democracy — and its economic
trajectory — may rest on the power struggle that has ensued.

Mr. Modi, who is well placed to win a third term in a national election
that will begin on April 19, is wielding an increasingly heavy hand in what
his opponents call an unfair effort to drive out the governments of the
states his party does not control.

They accuse Mr. Modi’s administration of delaying federal money for major
projects; of jailing or hounding opposition leaders while shielding anyone
who joins the prime minister’s party; of obstructing the delivery of basic
services; and of throwing state politics into chaos.

The tensions are tearing at India’s delicate federal formula of power
sharing and political competition, the glue holding the country together
across 28 states and eight territories.

Regional leaders have described the behavior of the central government,
which holds more power than in federal systems like the United States’, as
that of a colonial overlord. In the south, the most developed and
innovative part of India, officials have spoken of a “separate nation” for
their region if the “patterns of injustice” continue.


Mr. Modi and his lieutenants have in turn accused the state leaders of
harboring a “separatist mind-set” and pursuing politics that could “break
the nation.”

India’s move toward more centralized governance could hurt its overall
growth, analysts say, as such efforts have done in the past. Big national
spending programs focus on basic development problems that the south mostly
solved decades ago. If that region’s freedom to make investments based on
its own needs is restricted, the effects could be far-reaching.

“It is ultimately self-destructive,” said P.T. Rajan, a cabinet minister in
the government of the southern state of Tamil Nadu.

Mr. Modi offers a simple solution: for the states governed by parties other
than his Bharatiya Janata Party, or B.J.P., to come on board.

He often draws on automotive terminology to 

[Goanet] REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE IS A KEY TO GARBAGE MANAGEMENT

[Aires Rodrigues]

Over the years Goa has been witnessing a lot of positive steps in the
collection, segregation and disposal of garbage. But much more needs to be
done to achieve the goals.

We should aim to keep our cities and villages free from garbage strewn all
over. This would be to everyone’s benefit by ensuring our health and
wellbeing. It would also attract high end tourists who have been straying
away from Goa.

Public dumping of waste all over, even throwing it brazenly in rivers
and ponds is unacceptable. The gravity of the situation has been
consistently highlighted by our High Court who has been monitoring the
progress done in Waste Management.



Goa needs three or four more garbage disposal plants to ensure proper

handling of garbage across the State. Effective Garbage Disposal needs
a complete
and total solution looking at every aspect, including the type of Garbage,
collection of Garbage besides the recycling and proper disposal of Garbage.
Conventional and Modern methods must be studied and put in place.



Furthermore, we need an educational program with clear laid down

procedures for the people. In addition, there must also be effective honest
policing of the guidelines coupled with punitive action for persistent
wrongdoers. All this necessitates a sizable investment by the Government
which must be fully utilized for the purpose intended and is an investment
worth making.
