#Federalism ?

Federalism  ?


After assuming power some 40 months back , no doubt NDA government made a few mistakes – like the ill-fated “ Land Acquisition Bill



Surprisingly BJP ruled States ( such as Gujarat / Maharashtra ) came out with their own versions , based on :


Land Acquisition Solution  [  05  May  2015  ]


Now these States have no difficulty in getting the farmers to give up their farm lands for Infrastructure Projects .


I believe , even the new State of Telengana and its twin Andhra have adopted the route of  “ making the farmers , a stake holder and share in the prosperity on a permanent basis


Then , in announcement of DE-MONETIZATION , NDA government made some mistake as well , but I am still hoping that they will come out of this CHAKRA-VIEWH , by implementing :





============================================================================


Even as the various political parties – and sections of public – continued to focus on these “ shortcomings “ of NDA government , its  greatest achievement  has gone almost unnoticed !


The achievement of ushering FEDERALISM in India

==================================================================================


Federalism 1.0   [  01  Jan  2015  ]  NITI  Aayog


Reconstituting old Planning Commission and forming of NITI Aayog – National Institute of Transforming India


NITI Aayog has , as its members , Chief Ministers of all the States – including States where opposition parties rule


During its existence , NITI Aayog has come up with many far-reaching policies which will truly transform India . All of these policies emerged after intense debate and reaching a CONSENSUS


==================================================================================


Federalism 2.0  [  08  Aug  2016  ]  GST  Act



After more than a year of CONVINCING the opposition parties , government finally succeeded in passing the GST Bill in Lok Sabha


Then a group of State Finance Ministers ( including from opposition parties ruled States ) struggled for months to finalize the formation of GST Council – once again with REPRESENTATION of ALL states


Over the past 14 / 16 months , GST Council met nearly 30 times to evolve the rules / regulations and GST rates for thousands of items – all through CONSENSUS


After roll out on 01 July 2017 , GST Council keeps meeting , almost twice a month , to sort out problems faced by businesses / traders / industries etc – again thru CONSENSUS



=======================================================



Federalism 3.0  [  Dec  2017  ]  Ram Mandir



I believe the Supreme Court will start the final hearing of this decades-old dispute between the Hindus and the Muslims , on 05 Dec 2017


I urge ALL the Political Parties / the Supreme Court and the Public-at-large , to reach a CONSENSUS ( in the spirit of FEDERALISM ) , as suggested in :


SarvaDharma Sthanam ?  [ 02  Oct  2017  ]

Federalism  4.0  [  Jan 2018  ]  Formation of State Governments



In Dec 2017 , elections for the State Legislatures will be held in Gujarat / Himachal Pradesh


Based on which party wins a clear majority , governments will be formed in Jan 2018


As per various surveys , BJP is likely to win in both the States with handsome majority or even absolute majority


This offers to BJP , a golden opportunity to come forward and offer to form “ Coalition Governments “ in both the States – despite no need to do so !



Making of such an offer , will serve following purposes :


·         It will convince our 870 Million voters that BJP truly believes in FEDERALISM


·         It will ensure for BJP , 350 seats in 2019 Lok Sabha election



·         These State Level “ Pilot Projects “ will silence the “ Doubting Thomases “ for ever



For formula of such a “ Coalition Government “ , look up :

====================================================

 


Federalism 5.0  [  May Day – 2018  ]  Kashmir



Empower our Interlocutor to make following offer to all parties ( Hurriat / National Conference , included ) :



If you give up all talk of Azadi / Autonomy , I will try to convince the Central Government ,



#   To retain Article 370 permanently


#   To hold fresh state elections in May 2018


#   Amend the Constitution which would allow formation of a “ Coalition Government “ in
     Kashmir , with Ministerial seats distributed in proportion to the “ percentage of
     seats won / percentage of votes polled “ by the contesting parties , with no recourse
     for a “ Vote of Confidence / Vote of No Confidence / Imposition of President’s Rule
    If you believe that YOU represent the WISHES of Kashmiris , then prove it in a
    democratic manner



=======================================================



Federalism  6.0  [  May  2019  ]  Formation of Central Government



Enthused by the “ Pilot Projects “ – and learning a few lessons in actualizing of FEDERALISM in  Gujarat / HP - , let BJP commit in its  Election Manifesto – 2019 :


“ If voted to absolute majority , we promise to amend the Constitution before Dec 2019 and form a Coalition Government at the Centre by Jan 2020


======================================================



Dear Shri Narendrabhai :


To create a Federal Germany , Bismarck took 20 years ( 1850-70 ) and shed a lot of blood



In 2017 , you have the opportunity to unify Indian States as never before – and in a democratic / peaceful / all-embracing manner – a Sardar Patel like statesmanship !



In fact , this is your chance to leapfrog China and offer to the warring factions of IraqSyriaAfghanistanYemenPalestine and of numerous African countries engaged in virtual Civil War , a new alternative for achieving peace and prosperity
