Agriculture should have been on the top of the priority list.

Sack Nepal Singh from BJP
BJP should sack Nepal Singh from the party for his recent comments on soldiers. The thoughtless comment made by the BJP MP from Uttar Pradesh, that it was normal for soldiers to die in combat, deserves nothing less than that, his apologies notwithstanding. Being an elected representative, he is expected to be responsible in his public utterances. Far from encouraging our jawans and officers who guard our borders round the clock, such remarks will only hurt their morale and demotivate them. The Prime Minister too needs to reiterate his caution to his partymen to exercise restraint as such nuances do not suit the party which claims to be ‘nationalist’.

With India’s economic growth faltering in the last couple of years, the government has been looking for ways to galvanise the economy. It first tried demonetisation. It was a bold move but its economic benefits will be long in coming while the short-term disruption has been very real and demoralising. Then, it pushed through the goods and services tax (GST). Again, this is hugely positive over the medium term, but is painful in the short run. The government also seems to have realised that a simpler, more effective remedy at hand is recapitalising public sector banks (PSBs) and enhancing the flow of credit to cheer that markets.

Dalit-Maratha conflict in Maharashtra triggered by Prakash Ambedkar, allegedly claimed by a section? Were the riots incited by the so-called resurgence of "Brahmanism" , allege others ?
The celebration has been taking place peacefully, year-after-year without rancour from any quarter. How did it flare up suddenly this year ? A deep - state conspiracy by the Congis and the Commies, discomfited by their defeats in assembly polls. At least, so it seems ?
"Bahut chubhti hai teri chuppi ae, Congis aur Commies,
Kahin Ghul ghapara bhi ho jaye, par tujhe kuch fark nahi "
Whatever may be the findings of investigation , the politicos are laughing up their sleeves showing sham empathy with the dalits

If the current PM was in tune with the public grievance redressal system, then he would have not put plugs in the implementation of Public Grievance redressal act and creation of public grievance redressal commission mooted by the erstwhile. The current government is also not allowing the Lokpal Act and Whistleblowers Act to see the light of the day.

Non-IAS officers happy
The non-IAS officers are happy with the Modi government. IAS officers in general are not happy with the decision of PM Modi to allow other services to man some senior Central Staffing posts which the IAS lobby unduly denied them for years. Important senior IAS officers are trying to maintain the status quo which PM Modi is disrupting.

Although I am a supporter of the present regime, I have no hesitation to submit that the quality of the grievance redressal, over the period, has gone down. As the present government is pushing hard for timely disposal of the grievances, the quality has suffered a lot. The grievance officers are not in tune with the PM. They just want disposal, even if it serves no purpose. The feedbacks on the portal itself certify this claim. It is time that someone takes the charge of this aspect, otherwise the poor citizens have no way to get their grievances redressed.
