894 Poultry-keeper cannot count eggs and promise omelets, before hens lay the eggs

Mr. Narendra Modi in his Election Speech at Jullundhur on 27.01.2017, promised to bring Indus Waters to Punjab (presumably from Jammu and Kashmir). Let us believe that it is not election jumla. Let us believe that he is sincere. Yet, one question remains: Why promise to pick up eggs, before hens lay them? Indus River Water may become a subject of an International River Water Dispute. Of course, as Indus River passes through India, before it flows through Pakisthan, India may successfully and forcibly divert Indus Water southwards to Punjab. Unlike his past promise of bringing trillions of India's black money stashed in foreign banks, amounting and crediting to the personal Bank accounts of Indian citizens @ Rs. 1.5 million (Rs. 15 lacs), which Mr. Modi cannot and could not fulfill owing to non-co~operation of stash-benefited and stash-encouraging countries, this promise of diverting Indus Water to Punjab, may be within his control to execute. Of course, trillions will have to be invested for building dams, digging irrigation channels, drilling tunnels through mountains, installing motors for lifting water- wherever needed, is going to be a stupendous task. We can also be sanguine that INdia will be able to overcome technical difficulties involved in shifting water from Kashmir to Punjab.

But, will Pakisthan dumbly accept it as their fate, when India diverts Indus Water? Mr. Modi may want to use Indus Water flows, as a lever to make Pakisthan to come to terms about the Jammu-Kashmir being an integral part of India.

yb-donkey's personal views, which are not intended to be imposed on others

1. This type of promises which may involve international disputes, promises which require huge investments, promises which require surmounting great technical problems, -- it will better, they are not made in advance. It will be like picking eggs, before hens lay them, or milking a cow, before it delivers a calf.
2. We do not know how the Jammu and Kashmir State Government, and the People of Jammu and Kashmir, are going to react to the proposal of diversion of INdus Waters from their State to Punjab. Ordinarily, upper Region States do not easily allow water to be released to riparian States, even if Supreme Court orders them to release.

CAN CENTRAL GOVERNMENT REALLY CONTROL 'UPPER REGION' STATES?

Our readers may recall, how Karnataka Government refused to release water down to Kaveri Delta, in spite of Supreme Court's Orders. Central Government has to answer to the People of Tamil Nadu, why it could not enforce Supreme Court Judgements on release of Cauveri water from time to time. It is not going to be as easy as compromising on the brutal sport of 'jalli-kattu' with the Tamil Nadu Government, asking them to issue an Ordinance, with the help of the Governor.

Karnataka Government also locks supply of Krishna water to Telangana and Residual Andhra Pradesh States, unless and until it gets unstoppable floods to Krishna, and unless and until Almatty and Narayanpur Reservoirs flow upto brim and reach a breaking stage. Karnataka wants to use Krishna River only as a drainage channel for sending its useless water to Bay of Bengal.

WHICH PARTY DOES MR. NARENDRA MODI WANTS, TO BE HIS OPPOSITION PARTY, AT NATIONAL LEVEL?

Okay, as desired by Mr. Narendra Modi, Congress Party will become defunct, and vanish from the political scene. Which Party does Mr. Modi want, to replace Congress at National Level? CPI? CPIM? Trinamul? AAP? Samajvadi? RJD? JDU? Or a Front of all of them? Or does he not want, any Opposition at all? Mr. Narendra Modi has to think, talk and act like a Real Great Statesman. A Healthy Opposition Party(ies) is/are necessary for survival of Democracies. Only in Dictatorships and Totalitarian States, Opposition is totally annihilated. If there are no Opposition Parties, Mr. Modi will not have any challenges, and life will become dull and uninteresting for him. For his own health, he needs good, responsible and Sensible Opposition Parties.

BETTER PM RESTRAINS HIMSELF IN USING BARBS AND SARCASMS

When compared to ordinary politicians, Prime Minister of India is expected to exercise some self-restraint in use of barbs and sarcasms. By using them, a PM may win elections, but if he uses barbs and sarcasms too frequently, people may not worship him on a high pedestal. Our Prime Minister, seems to want to emulate Mahatma Gandhi, by spinning yarn on a spinning wheel, and in other words, we may visualise him as 'abhinav mahAtmA Gandhi' (Modern Mahatma Gandhi). For reaching that State, which I welcome him to reach definitely, he has to work really hard, and honestly, while overcoming petty political temptations.

To continue. सशेष. ఇంకా ఉంది.
