Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Writing on the Wall ?




Dictionary.com defines it as :



handwriting on the wall, a premonition, portent, or clear indication, especially of failure or disaster:


The company had ignored the handwriting on the wall and was plunged into bankruptcy. Also writing on the wall.





Only yesterday , I blogged :




Where I wrote :


        Future of  DEMOCRACY  rests in innovations like ( mobile app ) “ Neta “


Till arrival  of  the  2019  general election days - and forever thereafter - our politicians would log into " Neta " everyday , to know their " Share Price " in the " Political Stock Exchange " of India  !




Then today I came across following :






Now, a mobile app to rate, review your ‘neta’  


Piloted during the February bypolls in Rajasthan's Ajmer and Alwar constituencies, the app was later used in Karnataka ahead of the assembly elections in May



Today’s Economic Times carries following news report :






Extract :


“Sitting MLAs should not have any wrong notion. Party may replace them if their performance is not up to the mark.


Ticket will be given on the basis of performance and mood of the public,” he said. ( Avinash Rai Khanna –BJP incharge of Rajasthan )


“CM is particular about public feedback. MLAs not in public’s good books would be denied ticket irrespective of their status and reputation,” said a minister close to Raje.
 

“Party is evaluating the performance of all these 17 MLAs separately.
 

Most of them would be denied ticket this time. Party may bring in fresh face, be it from within the party or from opposition,” he said. 



No more it will be possible for our Netas to hide their heads under the desert sands and hope that the incoming storm [  General Elections of 2019  ] will , somehow blow away , without hurting them !


Do not be surprised if Shri Narendra Modiji asks Shri Amit Shah to use “ Neta “ for feedback of BJP MPs / MLAs , for selecting candidates for 2019 , on a country-wide basis




Shri Modiji should not let this opportunity of  a ground level “ FEEDBACK “ pass by .




For Indian Democracy , “ Neta “ could well portend “ Ides of March2019  !
