The run up to 2019 has been kick started

The BJP, as a party, is in election mode  since 2013 inspite of being in power at centre from 2014 . Never ever have I seen a ruling political party working so hard and relentlessly to strengthen the organisation and always battle ready mode . Usually when the party comes to power than the leaders and worker get busy enjoying the fruits of "Satta" but this current disposition,read NAMO and SHAH, is of a different breed . They just don't seem to sit back and relax , Always on the toes . The BJP just got out of the gruelling gujarat battle and have already kick started the campaign for '19 Lok Sabha . When the opposition is still reeling under to find leadership and issues to nail BJP ,the NAMO SHAH team have already caught them off guard by setting the agenda for the election . The duo have not only got a strategy in place but have started to implement the same . The tonality of '19 campaign was already set by the PM in the first two public interview given to...

He was asked variety of questions from Demonitization, FDI, GST Adhar card, one rank one pension, tracking money trails in swiss banks to making India free from Congress Raj not Congress party although it seems that Congress party is on a self destruction mode with Rahul Gandhi leading it to the bottom. He also enlisted the various achievement of his...

Abolish Personal Income tax and just tax expenditure : Only Team NAMO can do it !

Indians tendency of avoiding income taxes is legendary . People living in expensive  homes, driving expensive cars and shopping for expensive art and jewellery often do not even have a Permanent Account Number (PAN) card . Benaami/cash transactions are the major method to escape the tax dragnet. We go extra mile to device creative methods to avoid paying taxes. Even the middle class spend hours with accountants to find ways to pay less taxes. The result is that in a country with a population of more than 1.3 billion, barely 2% pay income tax. And those are mostly who draw a fixed salary that is tax-deducted at source.  It's easy to see why millions of Indians do not want to pay any income tax.To understand the root of this problem we will have to get at the root of the problem .  For a start, transactions are mostly cash in an unstructured environment, making evasion hassle-free. the government cannot track income for small vendors as all of it is done in cash ...
