WORTH of MINISTERS Union Ministers Have Shared Information Regarding Their Moveable and Immovable Properties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi
WORTH OF MINISTERS Union ministers have shared information regarding their moveable and immovable properties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Some of these numbers vary from those filed in the affidavits before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda, for example, recorded the largest increase in assets. The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) claims most ministers have not declared the true worth of their assets to the Prime Minister’s Office. Here is a snapshot of the comparison of the numbers by ADR: MINISTERS WHO SHOWED AN INCREASE OF MORE THAN ~50 LAKH IN ASSETS MINISTERS WHO HAD NOT CONTESTED THE LOK SABHA ELECTIONS IN 2014 Piyush Goyal Minister of state — power (independent charge), coal (independent charge), new D V Sadananda Radhakrishnan P Arun Jaitley Upendra and renewable energy (independent charge) Gowda Minister of state Cabinet minister— finance, Kushwaha ASSETS AS DECLARED TO PMO: ~94 crore+ Cabinet minister — Railways (independent charge) — corporate affairs and Minister of state (independent *ASSETS DECLARED IN POLLS: ~30 crore+ ASSETS AS DECLARED TO PMO : heavy industries and public defence charge) — rural development, CHANGE: ~20 crore+ enterprises ASSETS AS DECLARED TO PMO: panchayati raj, drinking water ~64 crore and sanitation INCREASE: 212% ASSETS DECLARED IN POLLS: ASSETS AS DECLARED TO PMO: ~114 crore+ ~9 crore+ ~7 crore+ ASSETS DECLARED IN POLLS: ASSETS AS DECLARED TO ASSETS DECLARED IN POLLS: ~113 crore+ PMO:~3 crore+ Ravi Shankar Prasad Cabinet minister — CHANGE: ~10 crore+ communications

India: the Weakening of the Congress Stranglehold and the Productivity Shift in India
ASARC Working Paper 2009/06 India: The Weakening of the Congress Stranglehold and the Productivity Shift in India Desh Gupta, University of Canberra Abstract This paper explains the complex of factors in the weakening of the Congress Party from the height of its power at the centre in 1984. They are connected with the rise of state and regional-based parties, the greater acceptability of BJP as an alternative in some of the states and at the Centre, and as a partner to some of the state-based parties, which are in competition with Congress. In addition, it demonstrates that even as the dominance of Congress has diminished, there have been substantial improvements in the economic performance and primary education enrolment. It is argued that V.P. Singh played an important role both in the diminishing of the Congress Party and in India’s improved economic performance. Competition between BJP and Congress has led to increased focus on improved governance. Congress improved its position in the 2009 Parliamentary elections and the reasons for this are briefly covered. But this does not guarantee an improved performance in the future. Whatever the outcomes of the future elections, India’s reforms are likely to continue and India’s economic future remains bright. Increased political contestability has increased focus on governance by Congress, BJP and even state-based and regional parties. This should ensure improved economic and outcomes and implementation of policies.

1 PM's Reply to the Lok Sabha Debate on The
1 PM’s reply to the Lok Sabha debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address (Preliminary Lok Sabha uncorrected transcript) March 05, 2008 New Delhi THE PRIME MINISTER (DR. MANMOHAN SINGH): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to join all the Members of this august House in conveying our sincere thanks to the hon. President of India for her inspiring Address. Sir, in the 60th year of our Republic it is a matter of pride for us to have the first lady of the State a very distinguished woman and it was our privilege to listen to her inspiring Address. Sir, it is also a matter of satisfaction that over the last three days we have had a fascinating debate on the issues covered in the Rashtrapatiji’s Address. While some of the hon. Members have expressed their satisfaction at the performance of the Government on many fronts, there have been others who have found fault with us on some fronts. This, for me, is the essence of democracy. Democracy is about debate, about argument and constructive criticism. Democracy is about acknowledging the existence of multiple view points, about tolerance for dissent and diversity, about respecting the opinions held by others without necessarily agreeing with them. The debate we have witnessed is in the best traditions of parliamentary democracy. This is what makes our nation unique and makes me hopeful for our collective future. I sincerely hope that we will have more of such debates and less disruption which has become a sad feature of our parliamentary democracy.
