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 :
8th Nov : Anti Black Money Day ? [
26 Oct 2017 ]
============================================================================
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

=======================================================
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
Iraq – Syria – Afghanistan – Yemen – Palestine and of numerous
African countries engaged in virtual Civil War , a new alternative for
achieving peace and prosperity
