CPEC Master PlanThis article is based on the information most people don’t know outside Pakistan, and my prime intention is to show you what is happening behind the closed doors. This article is written on my observations of events and if you want to read one different aspect of CPEC, please read this article till end.CPEC Master Plan - Dawn ArticleCPEC Master Plan is a Long Term Plan (LTP) for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. According to the Pakistani English-language news daily, Dawn, which has accessed the full report, the plan comprehensively outlines the Chinese goals in its ally's territory for the next decade and a half with the main focus being on agriculture. The plan lays out in detail what Chinese intentions and priorities are in Pakistan for the next decade and a half, details that have not been discussed in public far.Formation of the LTP was begun in November 2013 by Chinese Authorities. For the next two years, until December 2015, the Chinese Authorities worked different Government Institutions to develop a detailed plan to be implemented over the next 15 years, until the year 2030 that will open the doors for Chinese enterprises – private and public – to enter every area of Pakistan's economy. The report was first transmitted to the Government of Pakistan in June 2015 and Pakistan met their counterparts in Beijing on November 12th, 2015 and gave their feedback and finalized the draft on Dec 29th, 2015.To keep the report secret, the Pakistani government created two versions of the LTP (Long Term Plan). The full version is 231 pages long and drawn up by the Chinese Authorities in December 2015. The shortened version, dated February 2017, is 30 pages long and “contains only broad brushstroke descriptions of the various `areas of cooperation` and none of the details.” It is meant to be provided to the provincial governments in a bid to obtain their assent. The only provincial government that received the full version of the plan is the Punjab government.I have provided below the summary of CPEC Master plan if somebody interested in detailed report please check the following link.Exclusive: CPEC master plan revealedIf you have already read or know about plan please skip the following plan summery.What is a Plan Summery?AgricultureAccording to this plan, thousands of acres of Pakistani agricultural land will be leased out to Chinese enterprises to set up ‘demonstration projects’ in areas ranging from seed varieties to irrigation technology. Chinese enterprises to operate their own farms, processing facilities for fruits and vegetables and grain. Logistics companies will operate a large storage and transportation system for agrarian produce.Provisioning for seeds and other inputs, like fertilizer, credit, and pesticides. Advanced planting and breeding techniques to peasant households or farmers by means of land acquisition by the government, renting to China-invested enterprises and building planting and breeding bases.Identifies areas for engagement for Meat and milk production and processing plants, including construction of fertilizer plant, inducted to lease farm implements, like tractors, efficient plant protection machinery, efficient energy saving pump equipment, precision fertilization drip irrigation equipment and planting and harvesting machinery.To build a nationwide logistics network and enlarge the warehousing and distribution network between major cities of Pakistan with a focus on grains, vegetables, and fruits. Cities will see a vegetable processing plant, fruit juice and jam plant and grain processing.IndustryFor industry, the plan divides Pakistan into three zones: western and northwestern, central and southern. The western and northwestern zone is marked for mineral extraction, and central zone for textiles, household appliances, and cement. For the southern zone, the plan says “Pakistan develop petrochemical, iron and steel, harbor industry, engineering machinery, trade processing and auto and auto parts (assembly)” due to the proximity of Karachi and its ports. The plan shows great interest in the textile's industry and is particularly focused on yarn and coarse cloth.Fibre-optics and surveillanceA full system of monitoring and surveillance will be built in cities with 24-hour video recordings on roads and busy marketplaces for law and order.A national fibre-optic backbone will be built for the country not only for internet traffic but also the terrestrial distribution of broadcast TV, which will cooperate with Chinese media in the “dissemination of Chinese culture”.Tourism and recreationThe future cooperation between Chinese and Pakistani media will be beneficial to disseminating Chinese culture in Pakistan, further enhancing mutual understanding between the two people and the traditional friendship between the two countries.A long belt of coastal enjoyment industry from Keti Bunder to Jiwani, the last habitation before the Iranian border.The plan also speaks of a long belt of coastal enjoyment industry that includes yacht wharf, cruise, nightlife, hot spring hotels and water sports. Visa-free entry proposed for Chinese to Pakistan, no reciprocal arrangement discussedRegional SecurityThere are various factors affecting Pakistani politics, such as competing parties, religion, tribes, terrorists, and western intervention. The plan identifies politics and security as its major risks.FinanceThe primary financial risk in Pakistan, according to the long-term plan drawn up by China Development Bank, is politics and security. Efforts will be made to furnish free and low-interest loans to Pakistan But, Pakistan’s federal and involved local governments should also bear part of the responsibility for financing.$2 billion China’s maximum annual FDI in Pakistan$1 billion Pak’s ceiling for preferential loans$1.5 billion ceiling for non-preferential loansWhat's new in this report?If you watch any video on YouTube by a searching the keyword “CPEC Master Plan News Discussions”, you observe Pakistani Politicians are quite relaxed discussing this topic. No outrage, no concerns.Because they know the truth that many of these above-mentioned practices are quite old in Pakistan. Same kinds of land acquisition happening for many years with almost the same kind of Tax benefits.[1] Surprise it's a Pakistan Army. They run factories to produce and process Fertilizer, Cement, Meat, Food, Cereal, Seeds almost all the stuff mentioned in the report. They also run and operate Banks, Sugar Mills, Natural Gas, power generation, oil terminal operations, Housing Societies, financial services, healthcare, and education.[2]Pakistan Army runs these business entities under the trusts like Fauji foundation, Shaheen foundation, Bahria Foundation, Army Welfare Trust (AWT) and Defense Housing Authorities (DHAs).[3]Writing about the military in Pakistan can be risky business, almost no one reports against Pak Army inside Pakistan. The daring lady in the photo is Dr. Ayesha Siddiqa, she exposed Pakistan army's business practices and their commercial interests in detail in the book Military Inc.: Inside Pakistan's Military Economy[4], she moved to London a few years ago. Even here on Quora, I have seen some articles got collapsed because they mentioned Ayesha Siddiqa and details of Pakistan Army's commercial interests.Dr. Siddiqa estimates the military’s net worth at more than £10 billion — roughly four times the total foreign direct investment generated by Islamabad in 2007, the army owns 12% of the country’s land, its holdings being most fertile soil in the Western Punjab. Two-thirds of that land is in the hands of senior current and former officials, mostly brigadiers, major-generals, and generals.[5][6][7] But critics said also that the Pakistani military keeps a lion's share of the country's budget and is not answerable to the civilian government over its expenditures. [8]Is everyone in Pakistan agreed on this report?As per the report, China initiated creating the draft in 2013, sometimes around Nawaz Sharif elected as a Prime Minister. In May 2015, during the visit of Xi Jinping, CPEC deal was signed[9] and the report was the first draft is transmitted to the Government of Pakistan around the same time in June 2015.There are two different Power Centers exists in Pakistan, Elected Government, and Pakistan Army. If any Govt. Minister or official face any question against Chinese Investments, they simply counter their critics by quoting “If no Chinese Investments, then who else? No one other than China interested in investing in Pakistan”. It might be the same kind of argument presented by Prime Minister to Army General while discussing this draft. With reduced of coalition fund and very less budget, General also didn't have any choice to accept the proposal.To make plan details secret from Provincial governments, the second draft was created and shared with no essential details. As per the details shared in Dawn article, Punjab government received the full version of the plan, and it might be possible that they took advantage of the situation to make some favorable changes in LTA.To make public happy, massive media engagement was started to promote the CPEC plan and used social media to spread the positive aspects. The promotional video's started floating on YouTube, the campaigns to promote project was started on Facebook and tweeter.Everyone was happy in Pakistan except some media culprits who smell the rat.What will change?In this report, the CPEC projects are often called as ‘demonstration projects', that means until now Pakistan Government is not provided full autonomy to China to purchase land and set up the economic zones by their own. 6500 acres of land allocated for Chinese enterprises to operate their own farms in Punjab doesn't count much, but the availability of water, perfect infrastructure, sufficient supply of energy and the capacity of self-service power, means it is the jackpot for China.It is not the case Pakistan don't have seed's processing and fertilizer plants in Pakistan, but it seems like they don't improve the quality of their farming techniques in last 70 years. If you check Indian side of Punjab, the state is growing enough crops which feed the entire India.[10] With the provision of seeds and other inputs, like fertilizer, credit, and pesticides, China is helping Pakistan to grow crops, it is good for Pakistan.China is doing investments like this in South America and Africa from years, it is a known practice. China is protecting itself against future food supply problems caused by climate change by buying or leasing large tracts of land in Africa and South America. Some experts are also pointing the drawback, is that the Chinese are introducing industrial agricultural practices that damage the soil, the water supply, and the rivers.[11]China will build planting and breeding bases, large storage, Meat and milk production, fertilizer plants, transportation system, fruit juice and jam plants, grain processing, precision fertilization, drip irrigation equipment and planting and harvesting machinery. But if you check Fauji foundation's businesses, they are already doing most of these things mentioned here. It smells like now Pakistani Army Industries are going to compete with Chinese counterparts.Is this a new East India Company?In other economic sectors such as household appliances, telecommunications, cement, and mining, Chinese companies would exploit their presence to expand market share and the plan also called for building infrastructure and developing a policy environment to facilitate the entry of Chinese companies.The project shows great interest in the textile industry, with the focus largely on yarn and coarse cloth. The reason, the plan says, is that the textile industry in Xinjiang has already attained higher levels of productivity. Chinese companies would also be offered preferential treatment with regard to “land, tax, logistics and services” as well as “enterprise income tax, tariff reduction and exemption and sales tax rate” incentives. This is the same kind of approach what British East India Company took centuries ago, get raw material from Pakistan, shipped [to China] for pennies & finished products will be purchased back [by Pakistan].There are no friends or enemies only interests.Taking on industries, a plan is to provide basic infrastructure first with Roads, Railways, Ports and Power Plants. The setup Industrial Base and factories for petrochemical, iron and steel, harbor industry, engineering machinery, trade processing and auto and auto parts. It sounds good for Pakistan.It is quite impressive to any Pakistani, but in reality, you are living in the 21st Century. Gulf Countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are already started diversifying their businesses. They have started investing in their own countries to boost production.[12] If you take one example of Cement Industry which the most Pakistani thinks doing well in exports, Iran is making cheap and quality cement and even in Pakistan, cement manufacturers are urging the government to place anti-dumping duties on the Iranian cement.[13]Gulf countries are investing in India[14], but check why not enough investment in Pakistan. It is not cheap labor matters, skilled labor, regional security and financial capabilities also going to matter when you need investors. Some development indicators pointing that Bangladesh economy will be bigger than Pakistan in the next few years.[15] They are working very hard work no matter what bad conditions they faced.Few people argue that Once Chinese poor economy provided free land and labor to foreign investors and then suddenly Chinese economy started booming with trade and manufacturing industries. But time is changed since last 40 years, and with the dream of economic prosperity countries like Sri Lanka[16], Myanmar[17], Cambodia[18], Laos[19], Kenya[20][21], some African countries[22][23] are feeling the heat. China is running their industry on surplus capacity[24] and Chinese will not be going to shift their factory bases in such venerable area. China now dropped One Child Policy, and with increasing Industrial Robotics and Automation they have to ensure Job Security for their people as well.[25] Interestingly, on this Dawn article one wise guy named, IFTEKHAR MAHMOOD, mentioned it in his comment.Because of Free Trade agreement with China and cheaper Chinese goods, local industry in Pakistan already got hit very hard and the trade deficit is all time high.[26] Though I accept that China is providing Pakistan a chance to stand up but at the cost of very high interest rates, which will pass on to Pakistani people and businesses. Now only chance is to pay back the interests and do more hard work than developing countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam which share same business profiles and cheap labor like Pakistan do have.Surveillance, Like China?A full system of monitoring and surveillance will be built in cities with 24-hour video recordings on roads and busy marketplaces for law and order is also good initiative, and China has the good experience and doing it for many years to keep an eye on their own citizens.[27] So we wish all the best for Pakistan to have this system with Great Firewall of China.[28] But the question is “Is it part of any big game which is coming soon?”Dissemination of Chinese cultureWhy “dissemination of Chinese culture” needs to distribute over broadcast TV? Does it like to be the same kind of approach taken place in Xinjiang? Pakistan always supports Muslims Rights around the world, but when it comes to China, they will shut their mouth, whenever questions raised. On the issues in Xinjiang like Ban on long beards and veils in Xinjiang[29], suppress Islamic cultural practices[30], Government employees and children under 18 are barred from attending mosques, bans Muslims from fasting Ramadan[31], Uyghur Muslims must pray in mosques that have a government-appointed imam[32] , bans Islamic baby names[33], Pakistan always turn their blind eye on them.According to studies, more than 90% of all Pakistanis consider religion to be very important. Meanwhile, China to be the least religious country in the world.[34] It is interesting to imagine how people from both sides will mesh together with these diametrically opposed views on religion, in the religiously charged environment of Pakistan and we must imagine what kind of dissemination of Chinese culture going to spread through Broadcast TV.There are various factors affecting Pakistani politics, such as competing parties, religion, tribes, terrorists, and western intervention. The plan identifies politics and security as its major risks.Why this report is referring “politics and security” again and again, is this kind of conspiracy going on [Chinese Takeover, blah blah blah]. Politics is always affected by competing parties, so does a report suggesting some kind of authoritarian rule going to impose in Pakistan? So many conspiracy theories!The Great Chinese Money CowThe primary financial risk in Pakistan, according to the long-term plan drawn up by China Development Bank, is politics and security. Efforts will be made to furnish free and low-interest loans to Pakistan But, Pakistan's federal and involved local governments should also bear part of the responsibility for financing.Low interests loans for $2 billion, China's maximum annual FDI, $1 billion ceiling for preferential loans and $1.5 billion ceiling for non-preferential loans which equals $4.5 Billion per year that's good for Pakistan.The World Bank in its latest report projected that fiscal deficit was projected to be 4.8 percent in FY2017 sum up to Rs1.24 trillion [$118 billion][35] along with $28 billion Trade Deficit[36] plus $5 billion Interests of current CPEC loans per year[37] .For the debt-ridden Pakistan is that the plan clears this is no free ride. The report suggested the inflation will next big risk, which the plan says has averaged 11.6% over the past six years. A high inflation rate means a rise of project-related costs and a decline in profits. Plus Pakistan has to pay all the returns to Chinese Currency, there no easy out like printing money.Currently, with 66% of Pakistan's total revenue consume on loan servicing[38], falling exports[39] and Remittances[40], declining Tax Revenue[41], decreasing Foreign direct investment[42][43], forget CPEC loans how Pakistan pay off their existing loans is a big question. Nowadays China is providing vital doses of bailout packages to keep Pakistan Economy alive[44], hope China will bear rest of down payments as well to prove they are the all-weather friend of Pakistan.War Mongering MindsetSince the independence, Pakistan adopted National Security State policy which states nation's security comes before all the things.[45] This mindset has been trying to secure the state but in the process has generated tremendous insecurity among the people and leaders. In 70 years nothing is changed, check this example.Check this recent incident, this guy is Khwaja Asif, who is the Minister of Defence of Pakistan. On December 25, 2016, the story broke out, titled “Israeli Defense Minister: If Pakistan sends ground troops to Syria on any pretext, we will destroy this country with a nuclear attack.” Without thinking and confirming the news, defense minister tweeted with a scathing post directed at Israel “Israeli def min threatens nuclear retaliation presuming Pak role in Syria against Daesh,” adding that “Israel forgets Pakistan is a Nuclear state too.” The story turned out to be fake, even got the Israeli defense minister’s name wrong in the story.[46]This is not the one incident, with the North Korean type approach, he threatens to use Nukes multiple times.[47] Any surprise why FDI is not coming to Pakistan.In other hand China is moving away from War Mongering Mindset, they are becoming more focus on trade and development. China never involved in any war against Vietnam in 1979. The fact is any war could impact China's economy with very severe damage. They are too floating through the economic crisis as their economy is slowing down and debt to GDP ratio is now raised to 277%.[48] In one study said that in the case of any war scenario, if weak opponent country [such as North Korea] managed to blow up three gorges dam[49] , it wiped out their massive population with all the developed cities on the shore of Yangtze river. This will take back China to at least 20 years behind and will take a lot of time to recover the economy.Pakistan always needs super powers who protect them to protect them, and they paid a lot of cost of their “War Mongering Mindset”. From years they relied on the United States was there, now on China. To protect their investments China needs to control Pakistan which was the United States failed to do in past. We have to see in future, how these players will play with each other. This interesting game is between the Masters of Trade vs the Masters of Double Game.Why Half Measures?Pakistan has always played the double game with their counterparts, they cheated Americans by making the partnership with North Korea and exchange Nuclear Weapons with Missiles[50], supporting Terrorist group Haqqani Networks in Afghanistan war[51], providing terrorist safe havens in Pakistan.[52] They always remembered for their half measures, and recent track record also states that.This plan might finally arm the Pakistani government with the clout to reduce the religious influence in the society, but the reality is the National Action Plan they have started to reduce religious radicalization is still not implemented on the ground.[53] Despite Pakistani army's recent operations against terrorists, Pakistan still facing terrorist attacks. Many experts raised the questions on the efficiency of these operations.[54] It is also another example of such kinds of half measures, might be the way to counter future Chinese ambitions.Dawn Leaks 2There are a lot of people in Pakistan raising the question about CPEC, especially reporters like Dr. Farrukh Saleem and Khurram Hussain who wrote the same Dawn article. Mubashir Luqman already revealed these details 6 months ago, but everyone's perception was that he is spreading anti-government agenda.[55][56] In one of the news program, Pro-Government Reporter like Najam Sethi openly quoted that 10% kickbacks are standard in Pakistan and CPEC projects interest rates are actually higher.[57]Reacting to the leak, Pakistan's planning, and development minister Ahsan Iqbal Chaudhry tweeted: “I am appalled by Dawn Leak II. CPEC Long Term Plan story based on working docs 2 distort final draft taken up with NDRC yesterday in Beijing. CDB study referred to as Long Term Plan in Dawn story is factually incorrect. Definite angling in a story to malign CPEC by promoting fears.” [58]What is this Game?With CPEC the situation looks like a flowing river which looks calm and cool on the surface but nobody knows what volatile stuff are going inside. Here the game is played by lots of players; Pakistan Government, Provincial Government, Pakistan Army, Chinese Establishment, Media, State and Non-State Actors.Before signing the deal, during the OBOR summit on 15th May 2017 this report was leaked. Who is responsible for this, why this time was chosen, we have only guesses. But the game is still going on.What is Pakistan Government hiding?Two years ago, we only know that energy and infrastructure projects were going to establish through the CPEC, now information is out on these ‘demonstration projects’. Nobody knows in public what exactly at interest rates are and on what conditions these deals were been made.Now the report is officially out, then also why Pakistani Government doesn't make the final draft public, what is hidden agenda they are hiding? What more hoaxes Pakistani government still hiding from their people?This article shows you the second side of the coin, quite unknown to people outside Pakistan.

The Railway Ministry also announced the construction of five new metro lines, to be constructed in two phases, apart from the extension of the existing north-south corridor.VII. Kisan MandisIn 2013, the West Bengal government under Mamata Banerjee announced the setting up of 341 special markets for farmers called ‘Kisan Mandi‘- to help them sell their produce at the right price.About 50 warehouses for storing seeds were also part of the proposal. The government would also provide Rs. 75 crores to farmers for purchasing agricultural machinery and equipment.VIII. Nirmal BanglaThe West Bengal government under Mamata Banerjee launched the Nirmal Bangla Mission, which is seen as an offshoot of the centre’sSwachh Bharat Abhiyan, to bring all existing sanitation projects under one scheme.On 30th April 2015, Nadia district became the first in the country to earn an Open Defecation Free (ODF) status. About 3,47,000 toilets were constructed in the district, in less than 18 months. The plan was carried out by the district administration of Nadia in collaboration withUNICEF.IX. Success in 100-Days Work Scheme (MGNREGA)The West Bengal government, during the financial year 2016-2017, set a record in the100-Days work scheme under the MGNREGA, by creating a 33% increase in man-days. This was seen as the highest increase in the country.An estimate of almost 24 crore man-days were achieved during the year. The State broke another record in terms of the number of women employed in the scheme. According to official sources, in the financial year 2016-2017, 46.46% of the workforce in Bengal comprised of women.ConclusionMamata Banerjee’s reign in West Bengal has seen a host of developments in the state, first with her claim to restoring peace in Jangalmahal with the ousting of extreme Left Wing militants.She is largely credited with the empowerment of women in the state, along with the beautification of Kolkata. She was named in the Forbes’ list of ‘100 Most Influential People in the World’ and also in Bloomberg Market’s list of ’50 Most Influential People in the World of Finance’.Source List of major achievements of Mamata Banerjee as Chief Minister of Bengal - The Indian WireNow RAHUL GANDHIA leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” —John MaxwellOn that note, there is no one but one leader who comes to my mind — Rahul Gandhi. You might be surprised but he’s the same person whom I earlier mistook as indecisive, work-shy and an utterly reluctant politician. But over these years, the way he’s turned up and taken politics in stride, he has only injected greater hope and self-belief in each one of us. It’s not limited to his contribution to the Congress, but his larger commitment towards national goals. Rising way above other politicians, he stands way ahead as a matchless political reformer.2004: Rahul Gandhi enters into politicsAfter obtaining degrees in International Relations and Philosophy from the Universities of Rollins and Cambridge and working in London, it was least expected that Rahul would ever join politics. But to everyone’ surprise this shy guy did choose a public platform to voice his opinion. And the rest, as they say, is history. Rahul entered into politics in May 2004 when he decided to contest the Lok Sabha polls from the traditional family constituency of Amethi which Rajiv Gandhi had once held. At that time, this move generated great surprise amongst political commentators who considered his sister Priyanka more charismatic and likely to succeed. But hiswhopping victory with a margin of over 100,000 votes against BJP put an end to all the doubts that ever existed. While some treated it as “gene talent”, others called it a “political ploy”. The real truth that stealthily rose to great heights was the fact that a new leader had finally arrived.A new leader had finally arrived.2007: Rahul Gandhi is appointed as the General Secretary, IYC & NSUIIn September 2007, Rahul was appointed the ‘General Secretary’ in charge of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) and the National Students Union of India (NSUI). It was during this time that he pledged to reform youth politics. Consequently, keeping up to his promise, in November 2008, he held interviews at his 12, Tughlak Lane residence in New Delhi to handpick at least 40 people who would make up the ‘think-tank’ of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC). In doing so, he succeeded in bringing a positive change to the organization that he had always wanted. Not just that, it was under his leadershipthat IYC and NSUI witnessed a dramatic increase in number of members from two lakhs to twenty five lakhs. Be it his individual efforts or his breakthrough vision, finally we have a leader who believes in practicing first and preaching later.A. 2007: Rahul Gandhi is appointed as the General Secretary, IYC & NSUIIn September 2007, Rahul was appointed the ‘General Secretary’ in charge of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) and the National Students Union of India (NSUI).

Not just that, it was under his leadershipthat IYC and NSUI witnessed a dramatic increase in number of members from two lakhs to twenty five lakhs. Be it his individual efforts or his breakthrough vision, finally we have a leader who believes in practicing first and preaching later.2009 General Elections proved that the legacy of the Gandhi family and its deep union with the Congress Party is not just for namesake. Other than this, the other major factor behind the win was that barring Congress, there was no other political party which had fielded so many young candidates. And without any iota of doubt, the credit of this victory of UPA goes straight to Rahul Gandhi. He proved his mettle again by almost single-handedly winning more than 20 seats in Uttar Pradesh and an overall of 204 seats in the Lok Sabha. Such incredible results in Uttar Pradesh when no one expected Congress to do so well were not because of any significant or strategic caste calculations. Rather against all the odds, it was solely because of a young visionary who reached out to the common masses and showed them a better future without fragmenting them on the basis of caste or religion. Rahul once said, “I feel we should all be detached from power. Only then we can contribute to the society better.” Envisaging the same thought, he motivated the youth to join politics and make way for its holistic reformation. After a long time, it’s indeed refreshing to see someone doing things which this nation really needs.Rahul Gandhi worked tirelessly for the farmers,and stood by them to get them Compensation,which Modi did not give them,nor had time to meet themAfter a long time, it’s indeed refreshing to see someone doing things which this nation really needs.Rahul Gandhi has worked tirelessly to support poor farmersRahul Gandhi on building transparency and freedom of thoughtRahul Gandhi and his AchievementsLet me quote his thought here, “Give me all the power you want – give one individual all the power you want, give him everything, he cannot solve the problems of a billion people.” In a democracy where, power centralization is the ruling reality of political system, Rahul Gandhi daringly experiments and challenges the prevalent statuesque. Despite having a political lineage, this young leader finds dynastic rule undemocratic and does not flinch away from confessing it. In a meeting with the Congress MPs, he said, “I want to empower the 720-odd MPs in Parliament. I want to give voice to the middle tier, empower the middle-level leaders. There are some parties in India which are run by one leader, two leaders, five to six leaders and 15 to 20 leaders. My priority is that I want to empower the MPs as also the 5,000-odd legislators in various states.”As a believer of secular politics, he says, “The Congress as I see, does not belong to me or to you, but it belongs to the whole country.” Highlighting the problems of over-centralization of power in India, brazenness of corruption in the country, women’s rights and alienated youth who are “excluded from the political class,” Rahul has always initiated a step towards covering the loopholes of our current system. At crucial decisive times, he brought the issues of massacre of Muslims in Modi ruled Gujarat, killing of Christians in Kandhamal and problems faced by the Dalit community to the forefront. In case you don’t know, it was Rahul Gandhi, who appointed Sam Pitroda, the man behind telecommunication revolution, as a Cabinet Minister in the Prime Minister Office.Rahul Gandhi the spokesman of the massesIn 2011, he was arrested by the UP police at Bhatta Parsaul village after he turned out insupport of agitating farmers demanding more compensation for their land being acquired for a highway project. This showed his real courage to stand by his men and support their cause. Such connect with the grassroot level is something India has rarely seen in a politician. Supporting his party, he once said, “The Congress Party is now my life. The people of India are my life. And I will fight for the people of India and for this party. I will fight with everything I have.”e.The Congress needs towork majorly on increasing its booth-level presence. (Photo: PTI/file)On his part, Rahul Gandhi has started direct telephonic dialogue with district and city party presidents. Before that, he held an interaction with block presidents of the party.Over these conversations, he tried to explore how the Congress can become the number one party in UP. He took the theses leaders in confidence, and assured them that this time, poll tickets would be distributed based on their recommendations. Gandhi also stated that indiscipline would not be tolerated in the party anymore.The party president appealed to Congress workers to focus on local issues in their ‘politics of empowerment’, while giving importance to the youth, women, minority and tribal communities.Through these aggressive attempts to rebuild the party, the Congress on one hand is trying to recover lost ground, while on the other, it is trying to give a message to the possible alliance partners of the Mahagathbandhan — such as the SP and the BSP — that the grand old party will emerge as a tough negotiatorin 2019.FootnotesRahul Gandhi chose not to become Prime Minister, and even never occupied ministerial position during the decade long UPA rule. His body of work is however extraordinarily impressive. It is unanimously accepted that he was the prime mover behind these legislations and movements:–Lokpal Act: Lokpal Act came to be passed only because of the efforts and commitment of Shri Rahul Gandhi. The same was appreciated even by Anna Hazare in his letter dated 15.12.2013.-Whistleblowers Protection Act, 2011: This Bill was tabled with the purpose of providing protection to persons reporting corruption by a public servant. The Act was passed by the Lok Sabha on 27.12.2011 & the Rajya Sabha on 21.02.2014 and received President`s assent on 09.05.2014. BJP government did not give effect to the Act and instead moved an amendment bill to dilute the provisions of the original Act. The amendment Bill had sought to remove the clause which protects whistleblower from prosecution under the Official Secrets Act if any person made a disclosure under the Whistle Blowers Protection Act.-The Prevention of bribery of foreign public officials and public international organizations bill, 2011: This Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on March 25, 2011. Under this Bill any person who commits any offence as mentioned shall be liable to imprisonment between six months and seven years and a fine.-Real Estate Regulatory Authority Bill:When homeowners approached him, he undertook to have a law to protect them. It was Rahul Gandhi’s unconditional support to the Bill led to its smooth passage in the Parliament. At the time, he had stated that if the Government tables the bill in the Parliament, he would support it without second thoughts. The same was passed by the Rajya Sabha on 10.03.2016 and by the Lok Sabha on 15.03.2016 and received the Hon`ble President`s assent on 25.03.2016. The Act has become life savior for all those people who had invested their hard earned money to book a flat and were duped by the builders.-Land Acquisition Act 2013: After visiting Bhatta Parsaul, Rahul Gandhi wanted to transform the centaury old legislation regarding the Land Acquisition. He not only formulated this bill but also ensured that the Bill gets passed in the Parliament. The Bill received President`s Assent on 26.09.2013. The Act also requires developers to get consent of at least 80% of the people whose land is sought to be acquired. When Modi Sarkar sought to dilute its provisions, it again was Rahul Gandhi whose strong opposition stopped them in their tracks.-JFood Security Bill: Standing up for the hungry poor of our Country the Food Security Bill was drafted, billed and passed by the Congress with Rahul Gandhi at its helm.-GST: When Rahul Gandhi took Prime Minister Narendra Modi head on by describing Goods and Sales tax as Gabbar Singh Tax which has ruined all small scale businesses, businessmen received concessions in the form of reduced GST rates.-Democratization of NSUI and Youth Congress: Shri Rahul Gandhi have always maintained that there must be free and fair poll and therefore he got this reform initiative. He axed the culture of nepotism which crippled nominations of meritorious candidates. Rahul Gandhi is a firm believer that these moves will lead to a more transparent organization building.After 10 years of uninterrupted UPA rule, fully conscious of the serious anti-incumbency he would face at the Centre, he donned the war-paint when general elections were called. Though many knew the foregone conclusions, he ploughed on- incessantly, persistently. The BJP’s portrayal of him notwithstanding, he has come into his own as a Leader of great potential in Gujarat.During elections to the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat, the CLP Leader and Opposition Party Leader Shankarsinh Vaghela left the INC. 13 sitting legislators left the Party along with him. The BJP had employed the very same tricks of doling out huge amounts of cash and other allurements that they had employed in Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur. The number of INC Legislators dropped precariously from 57 to 44. Nobody in his right mind thought the INC had a chance of even winning back the 44 seats we were left with. It must be remembered that this is the State from where both the Prime Minister of India and the National BJP President hail.Yet, in less than six months, the INC bounced back and how!! Each and every exit poll confirms that the INC vote share has increased phenomenally. If there is no large scale EVM fraud it is clear that the INC will not get less than 80 seats.The credit for this upsurge must certainly go to Rahul Gandhi for turning a rag tag army in Gujarat just six months ago into a lean, mean fighting machine. Even the serious complications in dealing with the young trio of Hardik, Jignesh and Alpesh were resolved seamlessly. Not a single INC Leader spoke out of turn, and those that did were dealt with swiftly and effectively. His own personal style was warm, confident, charismatic and purposeful.I m not even going to try and write about Kejriwal as he is one of the Top candidate s.Or Mayawati.not required.Even these 4are good enough to stand by King of fake promises and Jhumalas,Modi SarkaarHe reminds one of Munna Bhai MBBS ,where his jaddoo ka jappis were famous.That is ALL what Modi has done in his now 5 years term.!!!!Even when people are visibly uuncomfortable about his forcing his way.Jadoo poucha kiya,kuch toilet banaya,aur 12 Million Bullet train,Fancy boat or 3000crore ka statue sab GUJARAT mei banaya.Ab Gujarat wapas jane ka samay aa gaya hai.Koi bhi ab Modi se kosoon door accha hai.KOI BHIJAGO INDIA JAGO
