It always happens - When a Politician
works favorable for the citizens, the media slash over the negatives of
the politician and the party. It is said, check the P's and beware of
them - the Politician, priest and the press. I wrote this article on
Politicians-Endangered species quite long
back. However, I do admit that some politicians may be a lot corrupted
but our Gujarat government CM is on way to road ahead for promoting the
state to newer heights and give a label of metro city to my town
Ahmedabad, which is just about next to a Bombay or Delhi and Bangalore
city in India. No wonder, by 2010, we can see tremendous changes for
sure if the CM is able to fight out the odds and the black scars on his
image.
Btw, 1st May is the 'Gujarat
Day' and I heard
Narendra Modi,
the CM on the television. A man with a vision, he spoke on the
development of the state and mentioned the many
Initiatives taken by the Government.
The government has implemented a scheme to
impart education to children in rural areas through ‘Gyan
Rath’. The other Initiatives are
Raksha Shakti,
Jal Shakti,
Urja Shakti,
Jan Shakti - Education, Security, Water, Energy and human resources
are covered up by the State government and major initiatives are being
taken for the e-Governance and with IT implementation, the Gujarat state
is expected to reach milestones in the coming years. Here is the
Gujarat
State Profile and the CM's earlier speech.
