Seems Like Modi Is Clueless About His Bihar Rally Preparation

Imagine yourself as the leader of your group. You have to deliver a presentation in the end of a week. As a leader, what do you think will be your role in the preparation? Well, if you think that you have leadership qualities similar to our PM, then your role in the preparation will be around 5%. The 5% of the preparation only includes the effort that you have made in preparing the presentation. Do you want to claim that your involvement in the preparation was more than 5%? Don't do that because it will prove you as a fake person (in other words, a good actor). 

Enough of beating around the bush, now let me tell you about the preparation that is going on for Modi's rally in Bihar. If you are following the national news, you will be aware of the fact that PM, Narendra Modi is going to run a rally for BJP-led NDA candidate in Madhepura district on the first of November.

The preparation that has been done till now for Modi's rally in Bihar includes the following works:-


  • 400-500 trees are cut down, chopped off and uprooted from B P Mandal University.
  • Over 1000, two year old plants of several species (which includes fruit bearing trees) are uprooted and chopped off. 

What was the reaction of district magistrate, Mohd. Sohail regarding the preparation process of the Modi's rally in Bihar? It was blank. He didn't even utter a single word regarding this issue. What was the reaction of local people? It was a very simple reaction where they said that they were helpless and the only thing they can do is protest. (Just a thought: Would we have valued Chipko Movement if the women would have protested after the trees were cut down? It requires a certain amount of courage to voice the opinion when the cruelty is going on. Anyone can protest and sympathize after process has ended.)

Well, do you know who is the rescuer? He is Anil Kumar Yadav, BJP district president who assured that the damages incurred before and after the rally of Narendra Modi in Bihar would be paid by the party. I have to say that the BJP has a heart of gold because they further added that new saplings will be planted after the rally. (A sapling takes 30 years to grow into a mature tree. I am 20 years old now, which means when I will be 50 years old, I can say to my grandchildren that the damage has been undone. Wow, that was a really short period of time to replace the damage. Please note that he didn't mention the number of saplings that will be planted.


Now, that you know the background of the preparation of Modi's rally in Bihar, let me tell you why do I think Modi is clueless about his party's preparation for his Bihar rally. (Does this clueless stuff make him an irresponsible and careless leader?)



On 3 August 2013, during the event of Van Mahotsav, Narendra Modi said that he encouraged social forestry.

On 16 July 2014, The Economic Times reported that our honorable PM has urged the industrial ministries to stop cutting trees when clearing lands for project and transplant them instead. (Transplanting hundred of trees within a week is difficult and perhaps that's why they chopped them).

On 5 June 2014, Modi inaugurated a tree plantation campaign by planting a sapling on his place of residence. He also said that, "Living in harmony with nature is the only way to avoid a catastrophic situation on Mother Nature."

On 2 October 2015, when Narendra Modi was in Jharkhand, he said that, "Today is the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and he will be happy if forests are saved by not cutting trees for fuel wood to cook food." Not even a month has passed, and trees are cut for his rally.


Our environment loving Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, without a doubt is clueless about the preparation made for his rally in Bihar. Is such a negligence acceptable?  Chances are also there, that he is very active and he knows everything about the preparation of the rally but doesn't that make him a good actor? Whatever, is the case, such kind of actions should not be tolerated

Facebook Comes Up With Alternate Dislike Buttons!


Hi! Many of you while using Facebook must have wished for a 'Dislike' button after encountering a post that you don't like. Many of you must have also faced a situation when you are confused whether you should like the post or not. Many of you have also voiced about this confusion in the social platform. Guess what? Your prayers have been heard. 




Mark Zuckerberg in his recent post has said that, 
"For many years though, people have asked us to add a dislike button. Not every moment is a good moment, and sometimes you just want a way to express empathy. These are important moments where you need the power to share more than ever, and a Like might not be the best way to express yourself.'
Facebook has come up with more expressive buttons for the users of Facebook. Today Facebook is launching the test of Reactions- a more expressive like buttons. You must be thinking, what took it so long to introduce the dislike button. Well, I would like to inform you that there is no 'Dislike' button, Facebook has come up with more wonderful way of expressing your emotions in this social platform. Instead of a dislike button, Facebook has come up with buttons that can show the following reactions : Like, Love, Haha, Yay, Wow, Sad and Angry. 
Mark Zuckerberg has also explained very nicely why he has not added a dislike button in Facebook. He posted that, "We've spent a lot of time thinking about the best way to give you better options for expressing yourself, while keeping the experience simple and respectful. Reactions give you new way to express love, awe, humor and sadness. It's not a dislike button, but it does give you the power to express sorrow and empathy-- in addition to delight and warmth."

In short, Facebook doesn't want to hurt the feelings or emotions of any individual, and therefore as a favor, it is gifting the users, other alternative buttons. The test Reaction will currently operate in Ireland and Spain, which means that users in other parts of world will have to wait a bit longer to experience the change. 
How many of you actually like this fact?
