India 2009 -Some Key Events -Recap
- The Return of the Indian National Congress, The Congress victory wagon rolls on, BJP in self-destructive mode showing all its weaknesses and washing dirty laundry in public: Congress has been eating way BJP’s vote bank across the country.
- Swine Flu Threat – Reeda Shaikh, 14, became the first patient in India to succumb to the flu in Pune on August 3. Narendra Modi and Shreeshant Maharashtra and Karnataka were the worst affected states of the country. At least 249 people have died in Maharashtra while the virus has claimed 128 lives in Karnataka. Pune, with over 120 cases of deaths due to the H1N1 virus, earned the dubious distinction of being the swine flu capital of India.

Marketed as the ‘people’s car’ and the ‘cheapest car in the world’, the Nano won the Indian Car of the Year Award for 2008-09, promising an affordable and comfortable vehicle to millions of Indians for whom a car was far out of reach.
Vidharbha Also Wants A Separate State. Bloody Hell.
Looks like every one wants a new state like Telangana, and now including Vidharbha. These weak people are now getting courage seeing an even weaker central governmemt. Now, as per Vidharbha’s congress member Vilas Mutteshwar, Vidharbha’s claim to form a separate state is more serious and stronger than a similar demand to form Telangana out of Andhra Pradesh. With dying farmers and naxalism taking its toll things are not going good in the region.
Our View: The reason for such issues is the bad governance and the greed of our political leaders. They have kept away some regions from the growth path. Forming separate states will not improve the condition as the new state or a part of the new state will again find itself in the same position after sometime. So bringing in good governance is the only solution to this “get me a new state” problem, because these guys will screw up the new state with even more audacity in the absence of checks and balances.
India really lacks a strong central government that can spank these opportunist, tantrum-throwing pussies.
