Arun Shourie tears into Modi government, calls it 'Congress plus cow'


New Delhi, Oct 27 (PTI): In a sharp attack on the Narendra Modi government, BJP leader Arun Shourie on Monday contended that it believes that managing economy means “managing the headlines” and that people had started recalling the days of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

“Doctor Singh (Manmohan Singh) ko log yaad karne lag gaye hain (People have started recalling the days of Manmohan Singh). The way to characterise policies of the government is — Congress plus a cow. Policies are the same,” Mr. Shourie said at book launch function.

The function to launch Turn of The Tortoise, a book written by former Business Standard Editor-in-Chief T N Ninan, was attended by Manmohan Singh, Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subranamian and former Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran.

Pointing out differences between the present and the previous governments, Mr. Shourie said: “There is clearer belief (in the present dispensation) that managing economy means managing the headlines and this is not really going to work.”

Shourie, who was a Minister in the Vajpayee government, said: “I feel there was never a weaker a PMO as now... There has never been as great a centralisation of functions, not power, of functions in PMO as now. ...If fellows don’t have domain expertise, that Brajesh Mishra had, L K Jha had, all these principal secretaries had, then things get stuck.”

Shourie said, “If you see impediments that were there in tax administration, virtually no change... Banking reform has been delayed by year and a half for no reason. So therefore this tortoise is a very generous metaphor. Ye to so hi jata hai (this tortoise goes to sleep).”


'Industrialists afraid'

He claimed that industrialists are afraid of speaking against the government. “The industrialists who meet the Prime Minister don’t speak the whole truth. After meeting PM, they say ‘please do something’ And in front of the media they give the government 9 out of 10.”

There was no development in Gujrat but created fear in people to speak the government's language. BJP government doesn't know governance, doesn't know ruling and administration and doesn't have faintest idea about economy and finance and to add to the misery we have a finance minister whose IQ is lower than the mentally retarded person and has been rejected by the people in his own constituency during the elections. That doesn't t mean that rest of the ministers of BJP are any smarter.

    Modi is lacking the knowledge about economics and other financial subjects.
    He is an expert marketing PM and is in the habit of shouting only and doing nothing on the ground. Whatever policies he introduced during 19 months is only on paper and it is not fully implemented actually.
    He is an RSS guy and want to spread communal hatred, fear and he is only interested in yoga, hate speeches etc. because this is what he was taught in RSS school. rightly said by our rahul baba he is a big liar

    I don't agree with any of the comments favouring the article. Must be some hidden agenda. Or else I have not seen any of the senior profile personalities commenting negative on Modi nor his way of Execution. Everybody is happy to see our nation reaching global position and our PM standing in par with other world class leaders. IT never happened where world leaders listen to our PM nor the same response received for any of the previous PMs. Also we could hear a lot of other national freedom fighters names like Shasthriji, Patel, Bose... only after this Govt. Earlier it was only Nehru, indiraji, rajivji... as a whole only Gandhi family was projected to be the indian freedom fighters. All the postal stamps were with only Gandhi family members photos on top of that, nobody else was eligible for being printed on stamp. No other PM was able to reach a common man and children as Modi did. Now everybody knows who is our PM and what are his projects. Even students gives the answer. earlier it was like the PM used to speak in English and will be a long speech which nobody listened nor understood. When Modi speaks we feel he addresses ourselves. Shows the road map. Just with in an year of completion if asked if all the promises fulfilled, it's not stupid on Modi, it's stupid on the person questioning. Because decades could not do few stuffs and expecting Modi to complete with in no time, it's heights of stupidity. Also on black money. IT was there from decades and such a silence. Now when Modi came, at least people came to know so much about it, how mauch money, who kept... all these progress happened after Modi took over the PM post. So, unlike Congi politicians , let's not simple bark at Modi's success. Let's give him the tenure of 5 years and then judge how was his tenure.

    Apart from the highlight comment of top industrialists being fearful of speaking against the government other hard hitting highlight comments from Arun Shourie are :

    "I feel there was never a weaker a PMO as now"

    and

    "The difference really is that there is a firmer, clearer belief that managing the economy means managing the headlines of the economy, and this is not really going to work." (taken from NDTV24X7 website report)

    So according to Modi bhakts does this make Arun Shourie an 'anti-national' and a 'Congi agent' ?

    People were angry on UPA on corruption so they voted BJP, with the hope of containing corruption.
    Of the 31percentage votes BJP got, less than 1percent voted rightwing politics of BJP, rest for other reasons.

    Today, after 2 years if one has to access the status.
    1) Corruption - Modi failed to bring back or even to find lakhs of crore he claimed looted by congress. Further, 15lakhs he promised each Indian family within 90days. He failed there too. He therefore fits the nick name he deserves. Go to any Govt offices you will find corruption is actually more and rampant. Corrupt leaders are getting protected from Modi. So, the first reason why Modi won election with complete majority, is a utter failure.

    2) Policy implementation. People hoped for better roads, better infrastructure etc., where contractors are pushed to do quality job. No, it is not happening. Babus and police getting bribed to get away with everything. Even swatch Bharat is a good initiative, but huge failure on the ground, due to lack of govt action.

    3) Secure Border: Pakistan people will believe will be taught a lesson and no more it will indulge in terrorism. Today, pakistan is almost there in Kashmir.

    If these are hope vs reality, the reality that is biting the people more is mis-management of everything. Starting from finance, law to education everything is tinkered to make RSS is more superior than Indian Army.

    In nature after every good decade of prosperity, famine has to return. Its nature's way of balancing. Indians found Modi to help, to make it more severe. But, BJP and Modi is not to blame, it is for people to blame themselves as they can easily taken for a ride.

    In all fairness, you cannot disagree with Mr. Shourie. For common people like us, there has been no change between the present government and the previous one. We have only heard the P.M. make tall promises but nothing appears to have been translated into reality. I think Congress, minus the corruption, would be any day better than this government. At least, the minorities did not have to live in a state of fear and instability during the previous government. Personally, I had pinned a lot of hopes on the P.M. and I had expected a lot of better things from this government but sadly, nothing has changed since they took over. Just the communal tensions have increased. Nothing else has changed.

    Shourie joins the chorus of the innumerable utterly frustrated & deep heart jealousy on Modi! Same like most NRI's and deeply frustrated souls who vent out venom on Modi in this forum!

    Though For Shourie actually its a story of sour grapes since he was not appointed Minister

    What our Honorable Scholar Arun Shourie said is nothing but - During previous UPA time there was a policy paralysis now there is a bureaucracy paralysis.

    But the major highlight of his opinion/views is "TOP INDUSTRIALISTS FEAR TO SPEAK AGAINST GOVT" and before the media give ranking of 9/10.

    Is it not ullu banaawing...!!!

    "TOP INDUSTRIALISTS FEAR TO SPEAK AGAINST GOVT"

    Not only top industrialists but almost all Indians are fearful of speaking against Modi because of the verbal backlash they will have to face on Social media, TV media and Print media from Sangh Parivar groups and/or Sangh Parivar overt or covert supporters branding such people as 'anti-national' or 'Congi agents'.

    Another reason industrialists in particular dont want to openly speak against Modi is for the fear of being harassed, sidelined or having to face retribution from the govt..

    Grape is sour .Arun shourie was expecting Finance ministry. NaMo didnt give him .Until he was told he will not get ministry things were ok .Now everything is bad for him
    Is IMF is wrong in predicting 7% growth for India? Is S&P wrong or Moody wrong? Is 1,2 billion Indians of which majority still consider NaMo as the best PM
