3.3.10

My response to the anonymous letter from "Stupid Common Man"

In the previous post I have uploaded the letter to Shiv Sainiks from a "Stupid Common Man". My response to him was as follows:

I have a few questions for this most stupid common man...
1. Yes. Shiv Sainiks probably failed to create job opportunities. Which other political party has created a few in Mumbai?
2. Mumbai sank on 26/07/05. Of the 35% of the income tax of the country (which is more than 60K crores annually, you may not know since you are stupid) Mumbai needed only 1200 crores to avoid a repeat, it still awaits. Rahul G's cadre were at the helm then & even now. His spineless cadre at center could not press enough for these funds. How much have they given Mumbai till date?
3. Yes, outsiders have made it big in USA . However:
These outsiders stayed in USA legally.
They paid all taxes.
They did not defecate on roadside expecting the tax payers of the city to clean their shit.
They never spat at every nook and corner of the roads
They did not break pipe lines to steal water.
They did not tap electricity in an unauthorised manner to evade payment.
They did not cut mangroves & construct illegal hutments
They did not overcharge local residents for their cab / auto services nor did they do any arm twisting if anyone protested.
They never resorted to thefts to fill their stomach. How many of migrants to Mumbai can boast of all these? Can Mumbai become an economic superpower with such residents?
4. South Indians bashed Mumbaikars for an entire decade between 1970-80. North Indians were bashing us till 90s. Is it wrong if the sons of the soil stand up and agitate against them?
5. Is it not foolish to compare stand against racism against Indians in Australia with stand against illegal Indian migrants in Mumbai? SS never stopped legal migrants from thriving in the city.
6.Are businesses moving out of Mumbai? No. They are moving out of Maharashtra. This is solely because of stupid economic policies of Rahul G's cadre which ruled this state for a better part of years since its inception. What is the use blaming it on sons of soil who are only voicing against oppression? What is the use of blaming non-availability of power on BMC? It is a state policy that is hurting. BMC cannot do anything in it. Will you advise Rahul G to take some economic lessons from Mr Narendra Modi?
7.You talk of businesses moving to other cities. Is Ahmedabad safe? You forgot what happened there after Godhra? Is Hyderabad safe? You forgot the bomb explosion during the famous laser show & also the current fuss over Telangana? SRK hails from Delhi. If it was easy to make films in Noida do you think he is a fool to have waited till date in Mumbai?
8.Mumbai has always been ruled by politicians coming from outside Mumbai. All of them are interested in development of their respective areas (or their respective kin?). They want money from Mumbai but do not want to give back any thing. How do you explain the recent decision of central environment ministry to sanction a power plant at Ratnagiri & hold expansion of Dahanu plant that would have wiped off Mumbai's power deficit? What are Rahul G's Maharashtrian followers doing at center?
9.SS gave flyovers to Mumbai. What has other government given? Bomb blasts? Terrorist attacks? Even after 26/11 Rahul G's men are dilly Dallying on giving land for the NSG which wants to set up a base at Mumbai. How do you explain this?
10. Who says maharashtrians do not make it to top echelons of army? How can you forget General Arun Vaidya who paid the price of his life for cleansing the Suvarna Mandir of terrorists? How can you forget Captain Vinayak Gore who laid his life during the Kargil Conflict? In spite of a north Indian lobby in IAS selection process there are numerous maharashtrians who have made it to the IAS & IFS too.
11. Agreed that strong arm tactics are deterrent for a good healthy economy. However what is the first priority? Survival against thugs or economic upheaval? The British came here for trade. We welcomed them as we felt they were good for our economy. Rest is history. Will you say Veer Sawarkar was a bully? Do you have any suggestions to bring to book illegal migrants?
12. Rahul G talks of Biharis fighting the 26/11 terrorists. Yes we too adore them. However how can he forget the likes of Vijay Slaskar, Ashok Kamate, Hemant Karkare, Tukaram Ombale who fought the terrorists without any advanced weaponry that was available to the NSG, till the NSG arrived(after 24 hours)? Also do you know what Rahul G was doing when Mumbai was under attack? Do you know where his cadre Govinda was when Mumbai was sinking on 26/07/05?
13. The aging tiger never had to do a stunt of traveling in local trains to gain popularity. He spent his life helping oppressed Marathi manoos. He is any way popular. Do you not see this fact?
14. If this tiger was not there, Mumbai would have been void of Marathi manoos, just like Kashmir is without its pundits today. Do you not see this fact?
15. You advise SS to create job opportunities. Can you not tell the same to Rahul G to do it in northern India so that people do not have to migrate to Mumbai? Will Rahul G advise illegal migrants in Mumbai to immediately start paying takes, water bills, electricity bills and stop defecating in public? I know SS was not able to do this completely in their 5 year stint. However they at least started.
16. In the aftermath of 26/11, the CM & Dy CM were removed to appease the voters. Both now have plum assignments. Is this not a slap on your face given by your adored Rahul G? If you have seen the film "A Wednesday" & understood it properly (which you could not have since you are stupid) it talks of eruption of a lean person against oppression.
No. I am not a shiv sainik but am also a common man. However I am not stupid. I can see through the lies people try to spread. I do not support any particular party & rate them on their work. I do not believe in showing someone else in poor light because I wan to shine. If SS has skewed policies, so have others.
I do not deplore any politicians because I know how difficult it is to be one.I put my own name below the message that I type. I do not impose my words on others by signing off as a common man. I have my own identity !!
Regards
Vasuki
