Detailed Analysis and Review of IPL 2021 Auction team-wise.1) RAJASTHAN ROYALSWeaknesses observed in IPL 2020 :Constantly changing the batting order.No proper all-rounder other than Ben Stokes.Lack of an effective spinner.No good pacers to support Jofra Archer (biggest weakness).Players bought at the auction:Chris Morris (Rs 16.25 crore): Chris Morris, now the most expensive player in the IPL history, is an excellent buy by RR. Chris is a brilliant all-rounder and he can fill the spot of that missing all-rounder who can support Ben Stokes. Though he played few matches last season, he bowled beautifully, especially in the death overs which has been the most significant loophole of RR. At the same time, he can act as a finisher who can hit some big sixes in the death overs.Shivam Dube (Rs 4.4 crore): Shivam Dube too is a brilliant buy by RR. He can fill the spot of an Indian all-rounder who can bowl crucial 2-3 overs if any leading bowler does not perform well and at the same time, he can provide stability to the middle-order with his batting skills.·Mustafizur Rahman (Rs 1 crore): RR's biggest weakness was the lack of quality pacers who can assist Jofra Archer. Ankit Rajpoot, Varun Aaron, Jaydev Unadkat and Kartik Tyagi could not maintain the pressure created by Jofra from one side. With the addition of Mustafizur and Morris, RR has apparently overcome this issue.Liam Livingstone (Rs 75 lakh): Liam Livingstone is bought as a backup batsman. He has been a part of the RR squad previously but didn’t perform well in the few chances he got. I highly doubt that he will get an opportunity to play in the playing 11.Chetan Sakariya (Rs 1.20 crore), KC Kariappa (Rs 20 lakh), Kuldip Yadav (Rs 20 lakh), Aakash Singh (Rs 20 lakh): KC Kariappa is bought to add depth in their spin department still they lack an effective spinner who can create pressure on the batsman. The addition of Chetan Sakariya, Kuldip Yadav and Aakash Singh makes their pace department even more robust.Weaknesses even after the auction: Lack of an effective spinner.Probable Playing XI:1. Yashasvi Jaiswal/ Manan Vohra2. Jos Buttler (wk)3. Sanju Samson (c&wk)4. Ben Stokes5. Riyan Parag6. Rahul Tewatia7. Shivam Dube8. Chris Morris9. Jofra Archer10. Shreyas Gopal11. Jaydev UnadkatOverall, RR had a fantastic auction where they have overcome most of their issues. If they had gone for an effective spinner as well, their auction would have been perfect. Still, the team looks solid and it all depends on the approach of the team and how the players play.2) Royal Challengers BangaloreWeaknesses observed in IPL 2020:Over-dependence on Virat-AB.Weak middle order.Lack of a finisher.Weak pace attack.Players bought at the auction:Glenn Maxwell (Rs 14.25 crore): It was quite expected and even Maxwell expressed his desire to be a part of RCB and play with Virat-AB. Although Maxwell has not performed as per his potential in the past few seasons, it is still a brilliant buy by RCB. Not only will he provide stability to the middle order, but he will also act as a finisher which RCB has been missing for quite a long time. He will reduce the over-reliance on Virat-AB. He can also bowl a few economical overs.Kyle Jamieson (Rs 15 crore): Kyle Jamieson has been undoubtedly the biggest surprise of the IPL 2021 Auction. It was predicted that he would get a decent bid but even Kyle himself would have never thought in his wildest dreams that he will be bought at a whopping 15 Crore. Barring the amount, the kiwi bowling all-rounder is a decent buy for RCB bolstering their weak pace attack.Daniel Christian (Rs 4.8 crore): Daniel Christian is an amazing buy by RCB. Australian all-rounder is a big hitter and can fill the gap of finisher missing in RCB for a long time and can also bowl few overs making their bowling department even more strong.Sachin Baby (Rs 20 lakh), Rajat Patidar (Rs 20 lakh), Mohammed Azharrudeen (Rs 20 lakh), KS Bharat (Rs 20 lakh), Suyash Prabhudesai (Rs 20 lakh): To strengthen their weak middle order, RCB has bought these Indian Batsmen who can provide stability in the middle order in case of top-order collapse but they are not much experienced. An experienced Indian middle-order batsman is still missing. Mohammed Azharrudeen and KS Bharat will also act as backup Indian wicket-keepers.Weaknesses even after the auction:Lack of an experienced Indian middle-order batsman.Balance of foreign players.Probable Playing XI:1. Devdutt Padikkal2. Josh Philippe (wk)3. Virat Kohli (c)4. AB de Villiers (wk)5. Glenn Maxwell6. Sachin Baby/ Rajat Patidar/ K.S Bharat/ Suyash Prabhudesai/Mohammed Azharuddeen7. Washington Sundar8. Kyle Jamieson9. Navdeep Saini10. Mohammed Siraj11. Yuzvendra ChahalOverall, RCB had a decent auction. They could have gone for an experienced Indian middle-order batsman like Karun Nair or Kedar Jadhav. There is also a concern about how they are going to manage foreign players. If they chose Philippe to open, then Daniel Christian will have to miss out. If they want Christian to play, Philippe will miss out and Virat will have to open. RCB will have to address this issue.3) Punjab KingsWeaknesses observed in IPL 2020:Weak middle order,Lack of a finisher.Inexperienced spin attack.Weak pace attack.Players bought at the auction:Jhye Richardson (Rs 14 crore): This was yet another unexpected bid. After his performance in BBL this year where he finished as the leading wicket-taker, it was expected that he would get a good bid but 14 crore is unbelievable because playing in BBL and IPL is very different. Last year BBL star Daniel Dams could not cement his place in DC after poor performances. But barring the amount, the addition of Jhye will bolster the weak pace attack of RCB. He can also hit some big sixes in death overs.Dawid Malan (Rs 1.5 crore): It was expected that Dawid Malan, currently holding the first spot in the ICC T20 rankings, will get a high bid and many teams will be after him but the unexpected happened. No team except Punjab was interested in buying him. The Addition of Malan will further enhance the already strong batting unit of Punjab and provide stability to the weak middle order.Moises Henriques (Rs 4.20 crore): This has been a brilliant buy by Punjab. Henriques is a perfect replacement for Jimmy Neesham who was not much effective last year. Henriques can perfectly fill the spot of the finisher and can bowl few handy overs too.Shahrukh Khan (Rs 5.25 crore), Riley Meredith (Rs 8 crore), Jalaj Saxena (Rs 30 lakhs), Utkarsh Singh (Rs 20 lakhs), Fabian Allen (Rs 75 lakh), Saurabh Kumar (Rs 20 lakh): Shahrukh Khan impressed everyone during Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Punjab will be eager to include him as a finisher in the team. Riley Meredith also performed well in BBL and is bought as a backup pacer. Jalaj Saxena and Fabian Allen are good all-rounder additions to the squad. Utkarsh Singh is added as a backup spinner.Weaknesses even after the auction:Inexperienced spin attack.Lack of Indian pacer as a backup for M. Shami.Probable Playing XI:1. KL Rahul (c&wk)2. Mayank Agarwal3. Dawid Malan4. Nicholas Pooran5. Shahrukh Khan6. Moises Henriques7. Jhye Richardson8. Mohammed Shami9. Murugan Ashwin10. Ravi Bishnoi11. Arshdeep SinghPunjab was the team that entered into the auction with the biggest purse and they did have a great auction where they have solved their major issues of middle-order, finisher and pace attack. They still have inexperienced spinners and are missing an Indian pacer as a backup for M. Shami. With their name and logo changing, Punjab Kings will be hoping for their fortune to change as well.4) Chennai Super KingsWeaknesses observed in IPL 2020:Lack of intent.A slow start from the openers.Poor batting line-up.Weak middle order.Lack of finisher.Lack of off-spinner.Players bought at the auction:Moeen Ali (Rs 7 crore): CSK only had one overseas slot empty and they decided to fill it with an off-spin allrounder. After failing to buy their first choice Maxwell, they decided to go for Moen Ali who recently showed his spin skills and hitting power in the home ground of CSK. Moen Ali is an average buy according to me. During IPL, the conditions will be different from the test conditions. It will be worth watching how he plays in the IPL. According to me, Marnus Labuschagne could have been a better option considering his batting skills and he can bowl handy overs too.K Gowtham (Rs 9.25 crore): K Gowtham becomes the most expensive Indian uncapped player in the IPL history. This is yet another average buy according to me. K Gowtham’s performance in the IPL has not been something to boast of. He neither has hitting skills nor has he impressed with his spin skills.Cheteshwar Pujara (Rs 50 lakh), Harishankar Reddy (Rs 20 lakh), Bhagath Varma (Rs 20 lakh), Hari Nishanth (Rs 20 lakh): Everyone is praising CSK for buying Cheteshwar Pujara reasoning that he deserves to play in IPL after his heroics in test matches. But I seriously don’t understand this move of CSK. Bash me for this but the main issue CSK faced last year was slow start from the openers. To solve this issue, they bought Pujara who we all know takes his time in settling and has never shown hitting skills. He also can’t play in the middle order. No doubt he is a legend in Test Cricket but I don’t think he can fit in the T20 team. CSK has added Harishankar Reddy, Bhagath Varma and Hari Nishanth to their team but I highly doubt if they will ever get a chance to play unless they show some spark.Weaknesses even after the auction:Inexperienced opener with Faf on another side.Lack of finisher barring MSD.Probable Playing XI:1. Ruturaj Gaikwad2. Faf du Plessis3. Suresh Raina4. Ambati Rayudu5. Moeen Ali6. MS Dhoni (c&wk)7. Sam Curran8. Ravindra Jadeja9. Dwayne Bravo/ Lungi Ngidi/ Josh Hazlewood10. K Gowtham11. Deepak ChaharOverall, CSK had an average auction according to me.The batting unit looks much better than the last time with the return of Mr. IPL Suresh Raina. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf will have the responsibility to provide a decent start. Ali, Curran and Jadeja will have to assist MSD in the finishing role. The bowling unit looks strong.5) DELHI CAPITALSWeaknesses observed in IPL 2020:Lack of support to Dhawan from the other opener.Absence of Indian pacer.Players bought at the auction:Steve Smith (Rs 2.2 crore): I still cannot believe that Steve Smith is bought only for 2.2 crores. This has been the best buy of the IPL 2021 auction according to me. Steve can either open the innings or play at one wicket down and thus provides the missing support to Dhawan. At the same time, he can guide and assist the inexperienced captain Shreyas Iyer on the ground. His addition has strengthened the already strong batting unit of DC.Umesh Yadav (Rs 1 crore): This has been yet another brilliant buy by DC. Last year they lacked an Indian pacer who could assist Rabada and Nortje who were both in great form but didn’t get the required support from the third pacer. Experienced Umesh Yadav can play as the third pacer and fill that spot.Ripal Patel (Rs 20 lakh), Vishnu Vinod (Rs 20 lakh), Lukman Meriwala (Rs 20 lakh), M Siddharth (Rs 20 lakh), Tom Curran (Rs 5.25 crore), Sam Billings (Rs 2 crore): Tom Curran has been added as a backup all-rounder for Marcus Stoinis though he is yet to show his batting skills. Sam Billings and Vishnu Vinod have been added as backup wicket-keeper for Rishabh Pant. Ripal Patel and Lukman Meriwala have been added as backup Indian batsman and Indian pacer respectively while M Siddharth has been added to the already strong spin department.Weaknesses even after the auction:Lack of a batting all-rounder as a backup for Marcus Stoinis.Probable Playing XI:1. Prithvi Shaw2. Shikhar Dhawan3. Steve Smith4. Shreyas Iyer (c)5. Rishabh Pant (wk)6. Marcus Stoinis7. Axar Patel8. Ravichandran Ashwin9. Kagiso Rabada10. Umesh Yadav/Ishant Sharma11. Anrich NortjeOverall, DC had the best auction among all teams according to me. They have resolved the issue of top-order batsman by buying Steve Smith and that too at such a low price. By buying Umesh Yadav, they have resolved the problem of third pacer. Team looks very strong in all departments and this year they are among the favorites to win the trophy.6) KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERSWeaknesses observed in IPL 2020:Lack of support to Gill from the other opener.Constantly changing the batting order.Weak pace attack.Balance of foreign players.Players bought at the auction:Shakib Al Hasan (Rs 3.20 crore): Bangladeshi all-rounder has been an excellent buy by KKR. He has previously been a part of the KKR squad and was a part of the winning team both times. He is one of the best all-rounders being a skillful batsman and an effective bowler. He is a game changer and KKR has bolstered their middle-order by adding him to the squad.Sheldon Jackson (Rs 20 lakh), Vaibhav Arora (Rs 20 lakh), Karun Nair (Rs 50 lakh), Harbhajan Singh (Rs 2 crore), Ben Cutting (Rs 75 lakh), Venkatesh Iyer (Rs 20 lakh), Pawan Negi (Rs 50 lakh): Karun Nair can open the innings and provide the necessary support to Gill from the other end. He can be an effective middle-order batsman too. But his recent form still makes the opening position vulnerable. Harbhajan Singh’s addition has strengthened their already strong spin department. Ben Cutting has been added as a backup all-rounder for Andre Rusell. Sheldon Jackson and Vaibhav Arora have been added as backup Indian batsman and Indian pacer respectively while Pawan Negi and Venkatesh Iyer have been added as backup Indian all-rounders.Weaknesses even after the auction:Lack of an effective opener other than Gill.Weak pace attack.Balance of foreign players.Probable Playing XI:1. Shubman Gill2. Karun Nair3. Nitish Rana4. Shakib Al Hasan5. Eoin Morgan(c)6. Dinesh Karthik (wk)7. Andre Russell8. Pat Cummins9. Kamlesh Nagarkoti10. Shivam Mavi11. Varun ChakravarthyThe biggest issue with KKR is the selection of their 4 overseas players in the playing 11. This leads to various issues in KKR. Karun Nair might not be an effective opener. With their batting strong, they do not have an equally strong pace attack. Cummins will have to be assisted by two young pacers. Though they have Ferguson, they cannot play him because of overseas slots. For the same reason, KKR will have to pick one from Shakib and Narine. It will be interesting how they pick their overseas players.7) MUMBAI INDIANSWeaknesses observed in IPL 2020:Inexperienced spin attack.Lack of quality third pacer.Players bought at the auction:Nathan Coulter-Nile (Rs 5 crore), Adam Milne (Rs 3.2 crore): Last year Nathan Coulter-Nile was with MI at 8 crores. They released him and bought him along with one more quality pacer in 8 crores. This is Mumbai Indians for you. It is because of their team strategists that they have made such a powerful team that looks invincible now. Addition of Coulter-Nile and Milne resolve their issue of third pacer.Piyush Chawla (Rs 2.4 crore), James Neesham (Rs 50 lakh), Yudhvir Charak (Rs 20 lakh), Marco Jansen (Rs 20 lakh), Arjun Tendulkar (20 lakh): Piyush Chawla has been added to bring experience in their inexperienced spin attack. James Neesham has been added as a backup all-rounder for Kieron Pollard. Yudhvir Charak has been added as backup Indian all-rounder and Marco and Arjun have been added as backup Indian pacers. However, the inclusion of Arjun Tendulkar in MI was quite expected.Weaknesses even after the auction: NONE (Just hand them over their 6th IPL trophy, why doing a formality of organizing the whole tournament)Probable Playing XI:1. Quinton de Kock (wk)2. Rohit Sharma (c)3. Suryakumar Yadav4. Ishan Kishan5. Hardik Pandya6. Kieron Pollard7. Krunal Pandya8. Rahul Chahar9. Nathan Coulter-Nile10. Trent Boult11. Jasprit BumrahThe mighty Mumbai Indians, five times IPL champions, most successful team of IPL history are yet again favorites for IPL 2021. And players do deserve the credit for these achievements. But if someone deserves equal credit, they are the team strategists, selection staff, who plan and strategizes the selection process, pick such players and make such a team that has become invincible. Such is the condition in MI that players like Chris Lynn have to warm the bench the whole season. Congratulations in advance MI for the sixth one.8) SUNRISERS HYDERABADWeaknesses observed in IPL 2020:Balance of foreign players.Vulnerable middle order.Lack of finisher.Over-dependence on top-order.Players bought at the auction:Jagadeesha Suchith. (Rs 30 lakh), Kedar Jadhav (Rs 2 crore), Mujeeb Ur Rahman (Rs 1.5 crore): SRH retained as many as 22 players and hence was the most relaxed team in IPL 2021 auction. Kedar Jadhav is an excellent buy for SRH even after his poor performances for CSK. SRH needed a batsman who can manage the innings if the top order collapsed. Kedar Jadhav is perfect for that role. He can also bowl few handy overs. But still the middle order looks vulnerable in the absence of a finisher. J Suchith and Mujeeb will make the spin department even stronger.Weaknesses even after the auction:Balance of foreign players.Vulnerable middle order.Lack of finisher.Probable Playing XI:1. Wriddhiman Saha (wk)2. David Warner (c)3. Manish Pandey4. Kane Williamson5. Kedar Jadhav6. Vijay Shankar7. Jason Holder8. Rashid Khan9. Shahbaz Nadeem10. Bhuvneshwar Kumar11. T NatarajanThe biggest issue with SRH is the balance of their overseas players. SRH obviously wants Bairstow to open but that leaves the middle-order vulnerable. Saha won’t be much effective in the middle order.The only option is to play Holder in place of Bairstow and open with Saha. Even with Kedar Jadhav, the middle-order still looks weak. There is also a lack of finisher. The bowling unit is very strong but needs equal support from the batsmen. Let’s see if SRH can continue to cement their spot in the playoffs.Thank you.Image Sources: IPL Franchises Social Media Pages.

Honest Review of three years of Modi GovernanceThe Modi government has completed 3.25 of the 5 years of its tenure. There have been few misses and few hits. I evaluate the different policies based on their objectives and most importantly on their implementation. Finally what matter is the overall impact made on the life of individuals and the society as a whole. I present here my honest review of its performance for the three years:I will bring six areas under the following categories to evaluate the performance.Bad or poor areas: Where it didn’t perform well.1. Healthcare sector: The govt didn’t do anything visionary or drastic to restructure the whole sector which is widely neglected and is in terrible mess. Most of the things are mostly on paper or vision statement and nothing much is implemented. The rural and primary healthcare is completely dilapidated. Though it is in concurrent list, the central govt. was expected to do much more.2. Unable to control Hindu Fringe elements: This was perhaps the most vulnerable spot when Modi govt. came to power. When it came to power on the issue of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikaas and development, Modi govt. was expected to curb all Hindu fringe elements and focus solely on development. But unfortunately many in the ruling party have been grabbing attention for their irresponsible remarks and acts. Though Modi has condoned all such acts, more need to be done to control the. The issues of gau rakshak (cow vigilantism), Love-Jihaad, hyper-nationalism were completely unwanted. Perception does matter. The minority communities need to be completely assured of their well being (more so by this govt. due to their not so good track record in this area).3. Poor job creation and falling export: This govt. was expected to provide a big boost for job creation to fulfill the promise. Though many new schemes were started with noble intent (start up India, Skill India, make in India etc) things are mostly on paper. There has not been any visible boost in job creation. The condition of MSMEs (Medium Micro and Small Enterprises) is vulnerable (more so after demonetization). Automation is possessing a threat to software sector. Construction and agricultural sector are lukewarm. The exports are continuously falling (mainly because of global factors). The CAD (Current Account Deficit) is increasing. This sector directly relates to life of everyone and can’t be neglected.4. Poor judicial reforms: The judicial sector today is not in a very healthy state. Backlogs, judicial delay, lack of transparency in judicial appointment, rampant corruption in lower judiciary define today’s judiciary. Though the NJAC couldn’t withstand judicial review, there has not been much effort to clean and reform the whole sector.5. Lack of reform in agriculture sector: This sector is not in a very healthy state. Increasing input cost, poor returns, high risk factor, fluctuating market price and excess monsoon dependency still hinders the growth of the sector. This sector needs long standing reforms to make agriculture lucrative to the farmers. The well-developed schemes like soil health card, PMFBY (Pradahan mantri Fasal Bima Yojna) have not yielded much positive impact. Creating a national market to ensure agricultural goods price stability and mitigate the role of exploitive middlemen shall be the goal. India desperately needs second green revolution.6. Kasmir Issue: Despite sharing power with PDP in J&K (ideologically very different from The ruling party), the GoI (Govt of India) is unable to curb violence in Kashmir valley. Starting with a very peaceful Lok Sabha and assembly election in J&K in 2014 the region is continuously in turmoil. Frequent bandhs, curvew, killing of Burhan Wani, AFSPA etc have crippled the state and tourism is badly hit. Ultra nationalism is not the solution to this sensitive issue.OK OK or moderately Fair: decently good (normal go routine) but things could have been better.1. Swacchh Bharat and sanitation: This is the first govt which has given so much weightage to sanitation and cleanliness. With additional tax and budget this sector has seen major push along with attitudinal change. There are few visible welcome changes. Something more could have been done especially in major sectors like creating sewage treatment plants, proper waste disposal and landfills, effective mechanism for recycling and reduction of waste.2. Education sector: India’s education sector has been a laggard. A majority of children are deprived of good primary education. Barring a very few institute none of the institutes of higher education compete at global level. This sector needed a push to achieve goals of 100% good primary education and improvement in higher education. Though a few scheme (Vidyanjali yojna etc have been launched) something more was needed especially in primary education.3. Banking sector and NPA (Non-Performing Assets) issue: Most of the PSB (Public Sector Banks) are bleeding with abnormally high level of NPA. Though the problem started and culminated in period of 2010-2013 period, it started showing its impact in this govt regime. This is retarding growth in critical sectors of infrastructure, roads, power plant etc. Though most of the defaulters are big industrial groups, the middle class is bearing the pain with slow growth. The steps like BBB (Bank Board Bureau) and IBBI were not enough to solve the mess. Escape of Vijay Mallaya further embarrassed the govt.4. Railways: This sector has not seen any transforming change post- independence, with India still dependent on majority of infrastructure developed by the British. Though there has been a push and visible change in speeding the projects of electrification, double lanes etc more was needed. There is perceptible change in station cleanliness and WiFI at major stations. But train delay, inadequate and crippled infra still rule the sector. Railway is losing its passenger and goods share to other modes.5. Defence: Despite major push on Make in India, domestic procurement, reduce import of defence goods etc, there is no major significant change. DRDO has still not got the edge (unlike ISRO) to develop world class defence equipments in time. Implementing OROP was an achievement. Surgical strike, striking a symbolic chord with jawans and developing road infrastructure in North-East and other terrain hass been a morale booster.6. Environment: With rising global warming and other environmental threats something significant needs to be done for clean environment. The govt push on solar and wind power is praiseworthy but more was expected in sectors of reducing plastic usage, sewage treatment, recycling, afforestation etc. The govt has been softer on some development project which had huge negative environmental impact.Good where this govt has done reasonable well:1. Power Sector: This sector has seen many well-developed schemes and enthusiatic effort to provide long term solutions. Push on RES (Renewable Energy Sector), cleaning the fiscal debt of state DISCOM through UDAY scheme, major push on rural electrification, restructuring of coal allocation to power plant, transparent auctions of coal mines, push on LED bulbs has visible positive impact on many lives.2. Foreign Affairs: This sector has gained a new energy and momentum with active involvement of the concerned ministry and PM himself. Frequent visits for improving bilateral ties, connect with the Indian diaspora, safe and effective evacuation of Indians from war head countries (operation rahat and Sankat Mochan), bilateral and multi-lateral treaties for cooperation in business P2P and geo-strategically ties. India has raised its bar and weight in global media and talks.3. Road infrasturucture: Golden Quadrilateral project was a major achievement of Vajpayee govt. This govt has pushed forward the road and port connection. Significant push and faster execution of rural roads, broadening the national and state highways, bridges, developing new port and improving facilities at existing port to reduce lag time, push on inland waterways, boost to aviation sector under UDAN scheme has boosted the infrastructure with significant positive ripple impact on other sectors.4. Pro-Poor inclusive policy: From suit-boot ki Sarkar, this govt has swiftly changed to development of middle and lower class with good number of universal and inclusive schemes to direct benefit them. The free LPG distribution to 5 crore families under Ujjawala scheme, subsidized LED light under UJALA scheme, covering financial inclusion under jan –Dhan yojna, linking AADHAR with PDS to reduce leakage, LPG Give it up campaign, neem coated urea to prevent leakge, Garib kalyan Yojna, housing for all, easy loans under MUDRA yojna etc have benefitted a good percentage of population.5. War against black money and push for economic restructuring:. The push towards digital payment and formal economy through attack on benami property, voluntary income declaration scheme (Rs 65,000 crore of black money was tracked), Forming SIT on black money have been a boon to clean economy. The implementation of GST after 10 years of limbo (though its real execution is yet to be seen) can have long lasting impact. Demonetization (though didn’t achieve the best result) had given a push towards much needed formalization aof economy and digital payment. The govt has largely abided by the limit of fiscal deficit and inflation is well under control.6. A united and corrupt free govt: There has not been any case as of now of direct involvement of any member of govt in corruption charges. Unlike any govt where factionalism and coalition dharma (placate some coalition partners, the absolute majority and decisive leadership has ensured focus on governance and not on petty issues of overcoming factionalism or persuading disgruntled leaders or coalition partner unlike UPA 2. The significant push on north-eastern states has ensured to reduce their isolation. A decisive leadership, united leaders and enthusiastic cadre has been an achievement.The govt is far away from delivering all the promises it made in 2014 but has done signifantly better than previous govt (UPA 2).20 months is a long time to frame execute good work. I hope it takes more steps to deliver promises and develop the overall state of all Indians.

THOUGH as per provisions of constitution of India , the law, specially Order III of CPC, any litigant can appear on his own and he is assured of equality before law. But in reality it is quiet different. the advocates and many judges have made judiciary as their sole domain with exclusive rights to fearlessly exploit grievances and earn without any accountability and responsibility. i was compelled out of circumstances to appear and argue our case. i have personally appeared right from semi judicial tribunals, trial,district, high and supreme court. i have studied,experienced,and observed, and i can confidently say that advocates (with very rare exceptions) and judges are looting common , poor law abiding Indians and are mainly responsible for promoting criminality in India.There fore it is not just many times more efforts required if you fight your own case to win, but it is just impossible. Supreme court is almost an epicenter of oppression of poor and final guillotine sort of by misconstruing and abuse of its independence & absolute authority for finality of judgement.Ill cite u an exemplary case involving all topmost Indian institutes and u can make ur opinion. we worked without single complain for 123 months on contractual basis for taking possession and maintenance of secured asset, as per orders of Debts Recovery Tribunal Pune, a judicial body under statute, at the request and the interest of Bank of India, who is a nationalized public sector bank and a state in terms of article 12 of Constitution of India. After we took possession of the property with many difficulties under stiff resistance of Judgement Debtor, some bank officials started creating nuisance value to deny our payment, exploit situation for their unjust enrichment from us or auction Purchasers. We approached MSMEDF Council Pune for our delayed payment from Bank & DRT. An arbitral award was granted in our favor. The same was upheld by district & high court when challenged. However Bank was represented in Supreme court by Mr. Dushyant Dave, who represents Supreme court Bar association and he intentionally misled the Judges Mr. Kurian Joseph and R Bhanumati with blatant lies and fictitious documents. Knowingly relying on misleading evidence, the liability of Bank to pay us was reduced from 123 months to 15 months under the false assumption that possession of secured property was transferred to auction purchasers( one dead in 2011) on 13.11.2006. Auction Purchasers were made party to proceedings for 1st time in litigation b4 supreme court and without hearing them they were imposed with liability. when the reality is that despite paying total price in 2006 they have still till date not received possession of that property. The truth was submitted by separate IAs, review Petitions, Writ Petitions & Miscellaneous applications but none was entertained even when alleged fraud was noted. The auction Purchasers filed Curative Petition 165/19 which was placed before Ranjan Gogoi, SA Bobde, Ramanna & R Bhanumati but again they were just not heard.Bank has not even paid us for 15 months as per order of supreme court obtained by it by fraud.we therefore filed contempt petition against Bank for disobedience of order of Supreme court vide CP423/20, which was placed before hnble judges JUSTICE ARUN MISHRA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE B.R. GAVAI HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KRISHNA MURARI, but they did not find (disobedience of order of Supreme court) as any ground of contempt! In the process the supreme court has helped/helping Bank to cheat auction Purchasers after paying 70 lacs in 2006. And cheat us of our charges of work of 123 months. We are rendered like slaves by the highest temple of justice the supreme court of India.this all happened because we appeared as party in person. There are many more examples. Now you decide whether to proceed on your own.Litigants are kings of the facts of the case and therefore their presence has to be appreciated. Judiciary has to be with capacity to assess without manipulations of facts for delivery of true justice. Therefore presence of litigant can be mandatory and those of advocates as optional. The services of advocates are unreliable, & un-affordable. In India with majority below poverty line are unable to bear the cost of litigation and still somewhat educated, therefore it is necessary that they are allowed to appear and argue in person if required to allow access to justice to all. System has to be developed to deliver justice directly on basis of raw facts from litigants.we have now filed a public interest litigation ( ID4446/20) seeking a definite procedure from Union of India for ensuring rights of Party in person and prompt relief, damage in case if rights are breached by advocates/ judges.
