Minimum Acceptable Bid: Fill & Download for Free

I am writing this answer for what I know about foreclosure in Oregon, USA.There are different types of foreclosures, and how to buy them varies greatly.Tax foreclosures: These are properties that the property tax collector has taken back through foreclosure. These are typically offered through public auction, there is a starting bid published and these can be a great buy. How payment is expected varies by location, most require full payment the day of auction. Look into if clear title can be insured on this purchase, as in some cases, a title company will not insure title on a tax foreclosure property for 10 years. If a buyer intends to flip a property, this is a big problem.Sheriff’s Auction Foreclosures: These are properties that are in default of their mortgage and the Sheriff’s Office has been directed to offer these properties for sale. It is VERY important to do thorough research on these, as the buyer will inherit any clouds on title, such as liens. Payment is required at the time of purchase, so a buyer needs to bring cashier’s checks to the sale in various amounts to equal the bid amount. This is a pain, your bank does not want to do this, and you may want to make an appointment at your bank before the auction. The bidders are required to show proof of funds in hand before being registered to bid. The public is allowed to go watch to see how the procedure goes, and I recommend doing this as it varies greatly by office. Another important item to know is that there is a redemption period involved in these, so a new owner cannot do anything with this property for 180 days (in my area), essentially tying up your money waiting this out.Court house steps foreclosures: Similar to Sheriff’s Auction, a buyer must bring proof of funds to bid. These properties are offered for sale, there is a minimum bid but no redemption period. Also very important to do your research on these.Bank owned foreclosure properties: If the property is being offered through a real estate sales company, it has been through any of the above processes and is ready for a new owner. Buying a property that has gone back to the lender through foreclosure is not much different than buying any other property. It can take longer to get a response, the buyer is going to have to sign a stack of “as is, you cannot sue the bank” disclosures, and a buyer is not getting a seller’s property disclosure, as the bank has no knowledge about the property. There is a commonly held misconception that these properties can be acquired cheap. Banks get multiple opinions on real market value and that is how they establish price. The banks seem to prefer clean offers, a buyer can go out and get financing, but the “keep it simple” offer will typically be accepted over offers that involve long inspection periods, seller concessions, and extended closing dates.That is a quick overview of foreclosure properties.

Amusing idea, is this something the US Marshals failed to cover on their FAQ page?It Depends on WHAT you may have published that may force you to consider changing at a minimum your identity or perhaps even WITSEC, For example Salmon Rushdie would be a example of someone who spent years having to hide and protect his identity because of threats against his life.(He had a FATWA religious edict against him for insulting Islam, eventually the Iranians I believe rescinded their order but certainly possible some crazed lunatic wont get the memo).While more amusing than life threatening, There IS some serious rumblings in the educational and research based communities where some local Portland State professors had enough of the Politically correct and decided to mock and lampoon the politics of higher education. To be fair, This spoof applies not just to liberal academics and Social Justice Warriors, But can be applied just as equally to extreme conservatives where the desire to find facts or materials to support your views and narrative can lead to really poor judgement.See: A Portland State University Professor Made Up a Study of Dog-on-Dog Sexual Assault—and Got the Hoax PublishedA Portland State University Professor Made Up a Study of Dog-on-Dog Sexual Assault—and Got the Hoax PublishedPeter Boghossian and his colleagues launched the satirical broadside at feminist theory and race-studies scholarship.Peter Boghossian makes daily visits to Southeast Portland dog parks with his pooches, Teddy and Savannah. But he says he's never checked out the genitalia of the other dogs there.Yet that was the outlandish claim Boghossian and two co-conspirators, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay, made in a research paper submitted this year to a feminist geography journal,Gender, Place and Culture. The journal accepted and published the paper, which claimed, among other things, to have tallied the rate at which Portlanders intervened in more than a thousand dog-on-dog sexual assaults.The paper was a hoax. So were 20 other papers submitted to academic journals in the past year—seven of them accepted. Last week, Boghossian and his cohorts revealed their elaborate prank, after The Wall Street Journal raised questions about the dog-park paper.Boghossian is already a contentious figure at Portland State University, where he teaches philosophy of education. A leading figure among "freethinkers" who chafe at what they see as a politically correct orthodoxy stifling dissent on college campuses, Boghossian has been the subject of protests and Title IX complaints. (He says they were unfounded; PSU declined to discuss him or his hoax.)But the hoax papers have made Boghossian a national water-cooler subject. And he wasn't doing it just to be funny: He and his colleagues launched the satirical broadside at feminist theory and race-studies scholarship in order to prove those fields are academically fraudulent.WW sat down with him and Lindsay last week at Boghossian's home, where an Australian documentary filmmaker was recording their week in the spotlight.The actual writers of the papers are (left to right) James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian and Helen Pluckrose. (Mike Nayna)WW: Here's the obvious question: How did anybody buy this?Peter Boghossian: Well, we told them what they wanted to hear. We played off what was morally fashionable. We think they have become so steeped in these echo chambers. Thoughtful religious believers really, really know the other side of the arguments. That's the ballgame. Their ballgame [in these academic fields] is to not know those things.James Lindsay: It's racist and sexist to know those things. If you can predict what they want to hear, you can then exaggerate that, feed it into their system, and let them reduce themselves to absurdity by getting them to accept that exaggerated caricature view as if it's their own.The journals you targeted are obscure disciplines. Isn't this hoax like using a Howitzer on an anthill?Lindsay: These people have massive institutional power. Why are there bias response teams? Why are there diversity and inclusion boards that can put people through trials that can end their careers, merely on accusations, without having to go through an actual trial? These are small academic disciplines, but they've worked their way into the institution.Yeah, for college kids. What about the real world?Boghossian: How many of your readers are familiar with trigger warnings, safe spaces and micro-aggressions? These things seep outside into the broader world. They start in the literature, they're taught to kids in school, those kids get out, become leaders in the community. About 30 percent of Americans have college degrees; they incorporate those ideas into the workplace.Lindsay: The New York Times ran an article saying white women are teaming up to preserve white power. That's in The New York Times? That's not some fringe thing. Everybody gets called a racist for everything. You have people calling tacos racist—Taco Tuesday.What's been the response at PSU?Boghossian: I have a meeting and I've been summoned. I can't say anything else. I think that everybody is walking on egg shells. I think people are afraid to say, "They don't speak for me." I think these disciplines are so entrenched and these ideas are so entrenched that people are so afraid.If you want to have the rule that nobody can talk about protected classes, great. But why is there an entire wing dedicated to talking about protected classes? The word "activist" or "activism" appears seven times on the [PSU] women's studies page.Lindsay: You can't say the wrong thing, apparently.Boghossian: That's the thing, I agree. I'm on the left. I'm a liberal.Lindsay: You're a total progressive. You're about as right-wing as kale salad.Do you expect to be at PSU next year?Boghossian: Ask me next year.The Ross Dog Park (Abby Gordon)The Five Most Eye-Popping Claims in the Dog Park PaperThe following are excerpts from "Human reactions to rape culture and queer performativity at urban dog parks in Portland, Oregon," a paper written by Helen Wilson, who doesn't exist, as part of her work at the Portland Ungendering Research Initiative, which also doesn't exist. It was published in the journal Gender, Place and Culture on May 22, then retracted Oct. 5."While I closely and respectfully examined the genitals of slightly fewer than ten thousand dogs, being careful not to cause alarm and moving away if any dog appeared uncomfortable, there is some relevant margin of error concerning my observations about their gender in some instances.""The data suggest that the deciding variable for whether or not a human would interfere in a dog's rape/humping incident was the dog's gender. When a male dog was raping/humping another male dog, humans attempted to intervene 97% of the time. When a male dog was raping/humping a female dog, humans only attempted to intervene 32% of the time.""During the span of my observations, there were 29 incidents among 15 dogs in which dogs controlled by shock collars were delivered an electric shock. All of those 15 dogs were male with male owners, and all 15 of the incidents involved a sexual act with another male dog, possibly implying homophobic shame triggering a violent response in the dogs' male human companions.""Over the course of my observations there were 39 incidents of an adult human companion striking a dog (I did not count striking by children). All 39 of these incidents were perpetrated by male companions and 29 of the dogs struck were female.""Dog parks are microcosms where hegemonic masculinist norms governing queering behavior and compulsory heterosexuality can be observed in a cross-species environment. They are thusly oppressive spaces that lock both humans and animals into hegemonic patterns of gender conformity that effectively resist bids for emancipatory change."

My Credentials as Infrastructure EngineerSuch questions cannot be answered by non technical persons who do not know how new technology works and benefits . I have an engineering degree, worked as a high voltage engineer for 24 years and worked as project engineer for several new technology like 765KV AC and 500KV HVDC systems . I also did LLB in 2017 to understand legal issues in contract execution , required for arbitration and mediation in Corporate contracts.It was in my destiny ( I learned astrology in 2000–02) that I always landed up in new technology area in my power sector job like HVDC , 765 KV AC , Fibre Optic network etc so I know how new technology gets introduced and then becomes popular.( Myself in HVDC Station Training in Celilo , Oregon, USA in Dec 1992 )( We are sitting on charged 5 lakh volt 500KV, SF6 filled Gas Bus Bar )The History of Resistance to New Technology by Existing PlayersTechnology is always resisted by conventional , old generation which feels comfortable in status quo and avoids new learning .History shows that Steam Engines were resisted by horse driven carriage owners. Steam engines resisted introduction of diesel engine and diesel engine resisted arrival of electric motors.Computers , internet , online systems were also resisted with same logic that there will be huge cost or unemployment . But we know from past that technology increased employment , improved life quality . Bank Employees resisted computerization of Banks , citing unemployment .We know what happens after such resistance and why wasted interest people resist such changes.The Delhi Metro HistoryMr E Sridharan, the 88 year old Metroman, was also bombarded by similar childish questions raised by old bureaucrats of Railway Ministry , the CM of New Delhi Madan Lal Khurana and many such politicians and public in general when proposal for Metro train in Delhi came in view of Common Wealth Games Hosting for 2010 .The event was awarded to New Delhi provided Delhi improved its city mobility speed ,along with reduction of pollution caused by Diesel run DTC buses .I was posted in Delhi region at that time as Power engineer and providing uninterrupted supply to Metro train was another major issue in our company at that time . So, I can recall all the news headlines in 1998–99 Delhi news papers .BJP was in power at that time, in Centre and also in Delhi State . Prime Minister AB Vajpayee had to intervene in the fight among CM, Railway Minister, IAS lobby , Railway Board and every Tom , Dick and Harry who wanted metro of his own kind or just did not want any metro , asking for more DTC buses or interested in own share in the big pie.That time PM was worried about timely completion of the project as it was linked to CW Games 2010 and all infrastructure was to be made ready by 2008 , failing which Games would be shifted to Canada or Australia .Failure to complete the infrastructure would have been a national shame for everyone.All claimants to the post of Chief of Delhi Metro were interviewed and only Mr E Sreedharan had all the answers from funding to execution . Other Railway bureaucrats just had routine replies .But Mr Sreedharan was already retired and drawing pension . PM was impressed with his successful record of executing Konkan Railway . So, he used his privilege and asked Mr Sreedharan to head the project .An Engineer Gets Full Autonomy to Execute The ProjectNow it was Mr Sreedharan’s turn to put his conditions. He gently put his conditions to take this responsibility. His foremost condition was that there should not be any interference from anyone in any matter of Delhi Metro, be they CM of Delhi, Railway Minister, local politicians , IAS or any one else. Prime Minister agreed to that and assured him direct help . Mr Sreedharan warned that if this assurance is broken , then he would catch the first flight to his Kerala Home as he was already a retired person drawing pension at the age of 66 years .PM Vajpayee casually asked him what he could expect in return for giving him full control of Delhi Metro Project . Mr Sreedharan assured PM that there would be no cost overrun in project , it will be built in minimum cost , with global standards . He even assured PM that he can convince the international financing bodies to provide long term , low interest loans for this project , so that Govt of India which was already bankrupt in view of Pokhran-II economic sanctions and Kargil war, would not need to put its own big money .In free India’s history , first time an engineer was trusted and given full freedom from Govt to work out all the project and financing from scratch and complete it successfully in given time and cost . Ironically , that engineer was a retired engineer of 66 years so he was fearless to put his conditions to execute work. And that happened because the head of the Govt was himself under international obligation to get an operational metro train for Delhi within 10 years .PM also had other headaches of completing stadiums, hotels , building roads and flyovers, removing diesel buses , smoke blowing factories from Delhi .And rest as they say is history . A whole new culture was created and demonstrated , without help of China , Europe or USA’s involvement . Mr Sreedharan convinced Japanese to fund 60% cost with a 20 year loan at low interest rates.I can recall the outburst of Railway officials, CM Madan Lal Khurana , Congress Leaders in Opposition for not being allowed to get contracts to their cronies, not being able to push up their candidates into Delhi Metro Recruitments. A small Singapore was created in Delhi Metro Organization headed by E Seedharan as Lee Kuan Yew. Every decision was taken in the interest of organization .When first corridor was inaugurated within 3 years in December 2002 by PM Vajpayee , people just could not believe the miracle of a world class metro with global service standards at par with Japanese and European Metro trains or even better[1].(PM Vajpayee at Delhi Metro Inauguaration in 2002 )It made an organizational culture in which politicians and bureaucrats could not force their corrupt methods even after Mr Sreedharan left the organization.Delhi Metro , was built without any turn key foreign contractor and that led to creation of more metro trains in India as we had in-house expertise .How did that happen ? It happened because first time , a Prime Minister level politician trusted an engineer to get a project delivered in time , overlooking criticism of every Tom, Dick and Harry who had no knowledge of project engineering, but was writing in media all the time about huge cost , the poor condition of DTC buses , Railway coaches and so on .Rebutting The Rhetoric Against Bullet Train Introduction“Where from money will come” RhetoricFinancing a project is never a problem, if it is made in stipulated cost and time and the cost can be recovered from users of the facility. Financing institutions agree for long term loans for infrastructure at low interest .Pension funds of Norway, Japan and other sovereign funds would invest billions for 20 years or 50 years at low interest rate of 0.1% . If you buy their technology , they virtually provide interest free loans because they can benefit from exporting their technology itself.Bullet train proposed for Mumbai - Ahmedabad is similar project . The project cost of Rs 1 lakh crore is comparable to 15000 crores of Delhi Metro 20 years ago.Again the same JICA , which funded 8800 crores 22 years ago is willing to fund 88000 crores on 0.1 % interest , with 50 years term and loan installments will start after 15 years when the train fare would be enough to payback loan installments. Delhi Metro started paying back loan in 2010 and had no default except in Corona time lock down.Making A New System From Scratch is easier than renewing / repairing an old running system is time taking and resource consuming . Reforming existing , running railway system would take 20 years still it would not be as good as new . You cannot make an 88 year old person young by spending all the money on Earth.In 2019, the national debt of China amounted to around 8,091.31 billion U.S. dollars.In 2019, the national debt of India amounted to around 2.02 trillion U.S. dollars. China build their infrastructure by debts only .Adani , Ambani , L&T have no roles in such financing . It is a sovereign loan between govt of India and Japan . Adani can bid for some construction package in a global tender and if they can compete with global companies , they will get that ,else not .PNB , SBI , Central Bank of India will not be approached for Bullet train funding . It was not done in Delhi Metro case also. So don’t worry about that . Govt of India would also not invest more than 5000 crores as equity and similar amount would come from Gujarat , Maharashtra. Rest money would come from JICA which will get paid from 2040 onward for 30 years.Pakistan govt is more destitute , many African countries are also destitute , still manufacturing countries like China, Japan build trains, roads,power infrastructure in these countries as a loan . The prime reason for this is to keep their sophisticated manufacturing facilities in running condition.India also gets many such projects similarly.In my starting career with NTPC , I was posted in Vindhyachal HVDC Grid Interconnection ( Back to Back ) station in 1989[2] . It was first High Voltage Direct Current Substation in the country and it was a GIFT to India from Swedish PM Olof Palme . The real reason was that they wanted entry into Indian Power Sector Market and their factories in Sweden had no commercial orders at that time . So, to avoiding shutting down the high tech facility and loss of employment , they requested Indian PM to take this as a gift to India.All infrastructure companies in India whether in private or public sector , have big loans . Powergrid Corporation of India has about 1 lakh crore debt but it is still a profit making company and gets zero assistance from govt . Rather it pays 2500 crore dividend annually along with corporate tax.Reliance Industries built world class , largest refineries without taking any loans from Indian Banks . It went for cheaper 100 year Yankee dollar Bonds at low interest from foreign investors. Jio infrastructure also cost about 1.5 lakh crore debt over 7 years and Reliance got it easily and it repaid everything by selling part equity in 2020 .Bullet Train Project of Rs 1 lakh crore is just like Delhi Metro project if we compare Rs 15000 crore financing 22 years ago .Our entire infrastructure of NTPC powerstations, Airports , Transmission Lines , Ports by Adani have been built on the same concept so why Bullet Train project is to be specially targeted .Reason is that once such projects start executing in India , our companies like KEC, Kalptaru , L&T , Adani, Reliance Infra, Tata Projects , BHEL gain experience and start competing with Chinese in Middle East , Africa and South East Asia . Today , these companies are executing many infrastructure projects overseas in civil works .China does not want a competitor in these sectors. China also wanted that its Bullet train technology is accepted by India but India found Japanese proposal more attractive and friendly and threat free in future as we do not have any border issue with them and our past collaboration with them have been win-win for both .So, what China can do when the project has been awarded to Japan ? It is very easy . Start Kisan protests against land acquisition in Gujarat, Maharashtra , delay the land acquisition so that project cost increases. Bribe the opposition , build public opinion against the project by hiring retired , unemployed people on social media who would write 20 times a day against such projects , who will neither visit and read the official websites of infrastructure companies , Delhi Metro or Bullet Trains official website but write their imaginary fears .Still , despite these tactics of China through lazy bums on social media , India moves forward .PM Vajpayee backed the project but he was not there after 2004 . Still Delhi Metro moved ahead and people are paying Rs 50 fare happily , not knowing which PM or party was instrumental in bringing this sole Indian masterpiece of engineering in 50 years .After 20 years , how many will bother to know about efforts of Modi or BJP , they will be riding happily on Bullet Trains.Only thing we need for big infrastructure projects is people’s support along with administrative support of State and Central govt by not interfering in such projects, by avoiding social media criticism and delay in land acquisition.Our engineers are of global standards and they can make efficient projects and that has been proved in Delhi Metro case and 2 largest refineries in Jamnagar by Reliance and Essar .But Leftists , social media, retired keyboard warriors have precisely the same agenda to keep India backward and then hail China and Chinese products . Don’t support the rhetoric otherwise you will be doomed to travel in crowded Pakistan like trains.Reply to Comments / Objectionsone can not compare Metro lines with Bullet Train .Metro lines or under ground trains are essential for all major cities like Delhi , Mumbai , Bengaluru, Chennai and other emerging major cities to ease traffic and run across places where normal trains can not reach out due to already built up infrastructures like buildings , pipelines. Drainages , Electrical cables etc.Where as Bullet train will be on track in parallel to Rajdhani or Shatabdi or Doronto or other express trains already running connecting same cities but with advantage to go superfast to cut down travel time .On same route Mumbai -Ahmedabad above mentioned trains are already running sometimes full , sometimes below capacity.So putting on same route bullet train costing 1 lakh crores is needed to be justified .In sense of priority for other infrastructures / Projects / Developments verses this Bullet train in question.We all Indians want superfast trains like bullet trains if our country have strong economy and excess funds like China or Japan or USA.While myself travelling in France was fortunate to take journey on thier Bullet train called TGV .And was wondering when our India will have such superfast train to connect our major cities.Having said that when I traveled to USA and South American countries I came to know about thier railway network much poorer than us .They dont have fast trains like Rajdhani or Doronto with them leave alone Bullet trains.Strongest economy of world USA have all resources in thier hands but they didn't go for bullet trains .Reason they believed on building big network of roads across country much larger than India.Sole purpose was to promote thier Auto industries where they are very strong .That brings huge business to Automobiles & its ancelleries industries in process huge employment opportunities to country and beside making new cities and sub cities or town on way giving growth to making hotels, restaurants, repair work shop petrol stations and many essentials onway between two major cities.That generates other source of employments on all fronts.Had we gone on similar route of building major networks of roads, bridges across India instead of spending 1 lakh crores on just for Bullet train , things would have made huge difference in boosting our economy and creating employments which are major concerns prevalent in India.You mentioned of acquiring loan at negligible interest.We all want to stay in big flats or villas or bungalows.If our banks start giving loans at even zero interest will it be wise of person to take loan of 30 - 50 crores if one is having annual income 10 lacs ?Because ultimately one have to pay back loan after some years if not by you in life time then by your future generations.Same applies to Japan loan we have to pay even say after 50 years at huge exchange rate difference then now wiping out low interest advantage we are talking about.So it is matter of looking things in right perspectives and setting priorities while allocating funds.Leave things to your best understanding.USA has smaller population with respect to vast geographical area . It has about 35 crore people in an area about 3 times of India . Our population density is about 10 times of USA and just like China or Japan .We have less land available to make big roads like USA . Every inch of our land is occupied for agriculture, forest , industry or residential purposes.That is why any industrial activity requires land which someone has to vacate . US has no such issue because of abundant land . Japan has the same land problem. They are small country , yet they went for Bullet train . Europe also has similar issue .US is having its own oil production, its reserve and it controls oil prices to some extent . It was a major automobile manufacturer till Japan and other countries picked up . Where as Japan , India , China are oil importing countries . So if electric vehicles and bullet trains are used , they can shift oil imports to electricity power , which can be generated by solar , nuclear or hydel power and it can decrease the pollution and fuel bills .Coming to loans, the best point about loans is that their instalments remain constant over the years , so it becomes cheaper after some years due to inflation effect , provided the loaned asset is productive .Your example of residential flat is not appropriate as that is a depreciating asset . But making a new power plant , airport, port with such zero interest loans are always profitable because the tariff or service fees will increase every year so revenue will rise. Delhi Metro started paying back loan in 2010 when it was already operational for 7 years . I have travelled in 2005 when its maximum fare was Rs 25 . Now it is Rs 60 and will become Rs 100 by the time it pays back full loan . so, after 25 years , the asset is paid back fully and your profits start.NTPC’s initial power plants Singrauli, Rihand , Vindhyachal were made with World Bank loans in 1980s . After 20 years , these plants are debt free and producing cheapest electricity. That is why Govt goes for Build Own , operate and transfer model , where a financier consortium builds a facility ( airport) with own finances , recovers cost in 20 years and hands over the asset to govt free of cost . Here govt invests nothing , risks nothing , gets lot of GST and a free asset over years .Can you please explain what is the feasibility of undertaking this trip? Does it make sense for a traveller?It's from Mumbai to Ahemdabad and not Mumbai to Delhi, which would have been feasible and convenient. How many people on an average commute from Mumbai to Ahmedabad on a daily basis. Is it feasible to operate a bullet train on that route, make profit and make life convenient.Finally, who will shell out a whopping Rs 3000 approx one way fare of Bullet train(according to National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL), which will take 3 hours to make the one way trip, when a plane ticket on the same route costs Rs 2000(price presently high due to restriction of flights due to Covid) and makes you reach Ahemdabad in just 1.15 hours.Kindly explain.These calculations may be valid today but not after 5 to 10 years. Trains are driven by electricity , they can carry more passengers , have less risk than roads or air travel . People don't count city to airport travel cost and time, baggage limitation etc. Pollution by flight operations is also an issue in climate change.The first project is generally costly in any new technology but subsequently it becomes cheaper . For example , you need to add two more stations in Jaipur and Delhi and it will become Delhi -Mumbai .Worldwide , people would move towards trains with speeds of 200–250 Kmph which will make travel to 400–700 km cities by bullet trains a better experience than air travel. People can go long distances also by overnight trains sleeping .High speed trains fit the mid segment 300–700 kms better than flights.New technology should be welcomed because that brings a lot of new eco system with efficiency and employment and adds GDP also.Trains are driven by electricity, majority of indian electricity is produced through thermal and coal. So your point against pollution is baseless.Japanese run their trains by Nuclear power. China is building nuclear and hydel power plants along with solar power plants.Share of non-fossil fuel electricity is increasing every year because of large solar power plants of 500 MW to 2000 MW capacity . These are cheaper , fuel free, easy to maintain and take less time to install ( 1 year at most) .In future, out of total new capacity addition , 50% would come from solar power plants only .Solar to eclipse thermal power by 2030 in India's overall energy mixList of Solar Power Plants in IndiaIndias National Solar Mission was launched in 2010 with the target of just 20GW by the end of 2020. Some of the countrys biggest solar power plantshttps://www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/list-of-solar-power-plants-in-india-1607686203-1Just as every pregnancy requires full time mother, assisted by other relatives , hospital , society , offices to bring a healthy child in the world , every infrastructure is a brain child of a person ( husband - PM Vajpaee) , it is erected by the project manager ( mother - E Sreedharan) and supported by people like contractors, suppliers, financers and public in general.Most of the infrastructure projects in India get aborted or remain Work in Progress mode because these are just election time gimmicks and no politician is committed to them.One least advertised Metro project in a non-capital cities is Nagpur Metro. Nagpur Metro is distinct in one way . It started construction just after 2014 BJP win and it's first phase inaugurated just before 2019 Lokasabha Elections. It should be fastest execution of metro in non-capital cities.Do you know why ?It is Nitin Gadakari's own constituency and he did not let it fail by any chance going beyond first term ending in 2019 . He had full control as minister and his personal commitment let it happen. He did not assume that second term would be coming .In Nagpur Metro , Nitin Gadkari played the role of Vajpayee ji in Delhi Metro. Modi wanted the same in Bullet train as he had BJP govt in both states .We need such leaders who can play a parental commitment in infrastructure projects .And you can now understand why technocrats like me and Metroman Sreedharan[3] like BJP, not the regional parties or communists who just chase their selfish goal to remain in power and even disrupt such projects[4]Now, Uddhav govt targets Modi's bullet train project land for Mumbai Metro shed .Image Source : My personal photo gallery and Internet websites .Footnotes[1] Delhi Metro Becomes First Metro Project In The World To Be Registered With The Prestigious Gold Standard Foundation For Its Energy Efficiency Measures[2] StackPath[3] https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiLr6yfiajvAhV2xzgGHQykANYQFjAAegQIAhAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ndtv.com%2Findia-news%2Fmetro-man-e-sreedharan-formally-joins-bjp-2378861&usg=AOvVaw1LehZh5Vc2RVHw1ZZeha-f[4] For Singur farmers, decade-old victory over Tata motors ends in gloom
