Who are the
2 Best Chief Ministers in India?
A person may answer this question according to his Political
inclination; but that may not be truthful. When we approach
this question without political bias or any other bias; I would
say that Two persons stand well above the others; as a result
of their outstanding ability in Administration and pro-people
style of functioning.
The two Best Chief Ministers in India are Arvind Kejriwal
of Delhi and Nara Chandrababu Naidu of Andhra Pradesh.
Nara Chandrababu Naidu
If you ask me to describe Nara Chandrababu Naidu in one word;
I would say that he is a Visionary. What does that mean? Visionary
is a sparingly used word in Inda, especially in politics. The
reason, I would say, is simply because we have very few Visionaries
in India. Visionaries are persons who are able to see what others
usually don’t see; but also ones who are able to plan differently
for their Society. They are also able to plan into the future.
I have been observing Chandrababu Naidu since he became Chief
Minister for the first time. He seemed sincere in whatever he
did. He was able to change the destiny of Hyderabad & Andhra
Pradesh like few leaders were able to do in any state. He saw
the future potential of IT and was able to attract lot of investments.
The two may simple, but both are difficult and Herculean tasks.
He was able to develop Hyderabad into the Hot IT destination
in India. That went a long way for the development of AP as
a whole.
In his latest stint as the CM of a divided Andhra, he was left
with little resources, as a major income sources of united AP
went to Telangana along with Hyderabad, the major revenue generating
region.
Here I would like to state that the people of Andhra
Pradesh had made a Big mistake.
When Telangana people demanded to divide AP; they should have
asked for compensation directly from Telangana. It could have
been like a Rs. 60,000 to 80,000 crores, to be paid over a period
of 5 years. They could have asked this compensation for a forced
division of the state and for their part of efforts in developing
Hyderabad. It would be also for the various difficulties that
the people of Andhra Pradesh would face when the state was divided.
It would also cover part of the cost for developing the new
capital city.
But despite many hurdles, over a period of 4 years he
moved AP into a fast developing state in India. Not only that,
he also moved AP into the top slot in various development indexes
in India.
I find a serious error of judgment by Naidu in one area. He
thinks a growing population is good for the state’s development.
But I would say that it is a short sighted view and will be
very much counterproductive in the long run. In this particular
issue, I think he needs to rethink.
To understand his competence, after Hudund Typhoon in 2014,
which created a vast destruction in Vishakapattanam, he was
able to restore normalcy in less than a month. The people told
me that he parked his caravan in Vizag, and from there directed
the rescue and restoration.
An Efficient Administrator
He is also effectively using IT in implementing & monitoring
of various schemes. When I visited the interim Secretariat in
Amaravati, I was impressed to find that each washroom has a
feedback system in place.
In his former stint in power, he made a great mistake of ignoring
the farmers and paid dearly. So at present he is paying special
attention to them. Various Irrigation Projects across the state
are one of them. A big canal is being constructed at accelerated
phase to take the waters of the mighty Godavari River across
many districts to the northern most one at Srikakulam.
While I was in Vijayawada many had raised the problem of converting
vast tracts of fertile land to develop the new capital city.
I think he has already taken that fact into consideration and
aims to balance it by providing irrigation to arid regions in
the state, presently under cultivation only a few months a year
due to draught. When they get year round irrigation, it will
enable farmers to produce at least twice their current production.
In addition to that, newly irrigated areas will vastly outnumber
the roughly 30,000 acres or 100 Sq. Kms that he aims to develop
the Amaravati in.
For a Green Andhra Pradesh
Chandrababu Naidu has rightly understood the importance for
conserving nature. He is taking many steps to promote Natural
Farming in Andhra Pradesh. For that he has roped in the legendary
Subash Palekkar.
Vanam Manam scheme of the government aims to plant crores of
trees all over AP. He also declared that 30% of Amaravati would
be a green belt with no development activities allowed. I would
like to caution him to conserve the forests in and around Vishakapattanam,
a highly polluted city, as it will be disastrous for the state.
The forest in the beach road is a very unique Eco-System in
the world, where the Sea, Forests and the mountains meet. He
should also take care to conserve all the forests throughout
AP with a mother’s vigil. This includes not only the large forests,
but specially the small disjoined ones. Increasing the forest
cover in Srikakulam and other costal districts will diminish
the effects of the regular cyclones that visit the state. I
have a theory for the reason of high number of cyclones, and
am planning to study it further.
Internationally also, he is the best known among all the Chief
Ministers in India. A much appreciated one at that.
Arvind Kejriwal
Arvind Kejriwal is a Stand-Alone Leader in not only Indian Politics,
but in the world itself.
He was one of the leaders of the RTI movement, headed by Anna
Hazare. They led a very popular peoples’ struggle, outside of
the regular party political brands. A big rarity in India. Along
with other Activists, they took the peaceful struggle to victory.
Another rarity.
When the latter stayed clear from party politics, the former
decided to take a plunge right into the greatly difficult area
of muddy politics, rather poli-tricks in India. It is, any day,
a very difficult decision for a honest person to take.
He formed the AAP, the Aam Admi Party. Paying justice to the
literal meaning of the name, meaning the ordinary man’s party,
he took his newly formed party to an astonishing victory in
Delhi elections with the help of the the peoples movement. He
defeated the strong infrastructure of two national parties by
mobilizing the common-man. An unusual feat.
From the fact that still Congress and BJP both consider him
as a major enemy clearly indicates that he is delivering.
Delhi
government under Arvind Kejriwal launches a large number of
people friendly schemes.
One of the first steps that he took after taking charge was
to stop the exploitation of electric companies and to reduce
tariff. The charges of Water and Sewer Development have been
reduced considerably and nearly 12,56,883 domestic water connections
have got benefitted from the free water supply of 20,000 litres
per month. One of the main problems facing Delhiwas pollution
and the Odd-Even rule was implemented to control the increasing
pollution in the capital.
Women and Child Department appointed Protection Officers for
making sure that Protection of Women from Domestic Violence
Act, 2005 is implemented. Delhi Government launched its first
'Car-Free Day' on October 22,2015 with chief minister leading
a cycle rally, in which over 1000 cyclists took part in the
event which encouraged people to use public transport.
A major people friendly initiative of Arvind Kejriwal government
was to bring 40 services to one’s doorstep. It offers applicants
for 40 public services spanning eight departments the possibility
of staying at home and having a “mobile sahayak” (mobile assistant)
do the legwork for a “pre-fixed facilitation fee”. The services
vary from marriage registration, caste and income domicile to
water connections, driving licences, pension schemes, permanent
IDs for disabled, land record reports and registration of construction
workers. It saves time, prevent corruption and harassment and
ensure time-bound service delivery without repeated visits to
offices.
But the task of ruling the capital city was not hassle free.
He had to battle the centre Government, the Lt. Governor, the
Police, fight it out in the court, and even on the streets.
The fact that he delivered despite all this shows that he is
an extraordinary leader.
The highlight is that he is doing all this without any allegation
of corruption. It also says a lot about him.
One serious allegation is that his style of functioning is autocratic,
due to which some of his strong colleagues parted ways. I would
say that when a person is delivering beautifully, with pro-people
measures, the autocratic mode may not be a problem at all, as
it ensures a good governance that most other parties fail to
exhibit.
The BJP should lay its hand off these two.
I would say that, the two Best Chief Ministers in India Arvind
Kejriwal and Nara Chandrababu Naidu should not be attacked,
the way now they are being targeted by BJP. It is certainly
not the way that a country should be run. The people would immediately
sense that there is something wrong with a party that attacks
the two best Chief Ministers. It has certainly contributed to
the erosion of the popularity of the BJP.
At the same time Modi has a Role.
I think that Narendra Modi, however his enemies criticize, has
a role to play. It is to end the Pakistan Problem permanently.
I think he is the best one to do that, being a strong leader.
Certainly there is no other leader in India, at present, who
can do that. Rahul Gandhi, despite whatever his mummy thinks,
is too weak for that.
I would also advise Modi not to wait for a second term in office
to do that. He also need not wait for the S-400 to arrive. There
are ways to do it Unconventionally.
If he
fails to end the Pakistan Problem permanently, after all the
hype created about Modi image, history would view him as a person
that failed. Let that not be.

[Events
after Pulwama & Surgerical Strikes 2 clearly shows that
N Modi clearly failed to Solve Pakistan Problem. Like all PMs
before him, except Indira Gandhi, he is just stage managing.]
Stop Trying to Manage Pakistan; which is Impossible; just solve
the problem permanently
