  1. Not saying, BJP fully succeeded. But they don't make freebies as centre of their policy.

  2.  @31snehalkshirsagar36  Correct

  3. TAX on Farmers next 2025 ? That would be only just!

  4. She has not invested in Adani. Stop repeating lies !

  5. Saudi Arabia should invest that money in Indian government rupee bonds, just like they were doing with US dollar. This will make INR stronger and oil imports cheaper. And Saudi can earn interest and equity gains.

  6. Banks are not giving cheaper loans because of two reasons - a) people don't have good creit history, b) Not enough banks to compete for giving cheaper loans. And also, we are not taxing big farmers. But giving them all the subsidies and freebies. If we correct this atrocity, then petrol tax can be removed. And then people will have more money in their pockets.

  7. ​Yes, that 10 lakh crore of rice has zero value. Because you are producing in excess. Grow less rice, then price will increase. And grow more pulses, that we are having to import. In fact, Punjab should not grow rice at all. Eastern UP, Bihar and Bengal are right place. They have abundant water. No water pumps required. But irrigation canals are lacking there. So, we should invest in irrigation canals in Eastern UP, Bihar and Bengal, and increase the yields of rice there. Punjab should grow pulses, millets and oilseeds. And leave some land for industries also, so that non-farm.hobs can be created. Reducing electricity subsidy by not growing rice, will give cheaper electricity to industry and enable them to create jobs.

  8. UK's problems are different. More due to bad government policies. Not due to foreign policy. This gas trouble is faced by whole of Europe, and by next year, Europe would have switched to nuclear and renewable power. All this gas price troubles are temporary. Europe and UK have enough money to get over this crisis. At the moment, Russia is having to sell gas at a discount to India and China. So, India and China are benefiting and Russia is going to suffer in the long run.

  9. Projects went to Gujarat, because investors want political stability. They saw Uddhav Thackeray cancelling bullet train, doing drama over Mumbai metro shed, and splurging on farm loan waiver. So, investors are afraid of commiting anything, in case UBT comes to power and does drama again. And Rahul Gandhi has become well-known as anti-business guy. And btw, Gujarat has cheaper petrol and very less power cuts. These are attractive to businesses.

  10. Beta. Crypto would lead to money laundering, and pumping of hawala money into India and cause inflation. Gold can be detected at airport security. But crypto is a encrypted number, that no one can detect. RBI opposed this, because their job is to control money supply in and out of India, and India would lose monetary sovereignty.

  11. No. Currency is given fair value. It's based on market supply-demand. But a good credit rating, will increase demand for rupee, and improve it's value.

  12. ​ @cyrusthegreat3081 While Manmohan is to blame, you must understand exactly how it happened. It was actually some stupidity. In 2012-13 period, when US Fed was raised interest rates, US dollar started strengthening. At this time, RBI started selling forex dollars in the hope that Rupee will strengthen. But speculators bought the dollars, and caused further depletion of the rupee. It's called the Taper Tantrum. If they had not done anything, and just allowed rupee to naturally depreciate, then the amount of depreciation would have been less. It was again free market dynamics , affecting the currency, but an attempt to go against it, caused damage.

  13. It won't kill the dollar. But it will reduce fluctuations and uncertainties in our oil import prices, due to stupid money printing and unpredictable interest hikes by US Fed. We suffer every time, when Fed takes any action with their currency - whether they print money or withdraw money, and raise interest rates.

  14. Pakistan's population has grown 8 times after independence. India's population grew by 4 times. Pakistan should implement population control immediately.

  15. West is not pressuring India. Is India facing any problems because of abstaining? No, not at all. Asking is not pressurising. There was no effect on our relations with US, due to this.

  16. You worry about West Bengal. WB is worse than Bangladesh. Actually, if Bangladesh were a state of India, then it would be in middle position for Gdp per capita. Maharashtra, Gujarat, TN, Karnataka are doing much much better than Bangladesh. In few years, UP will improve because of improvement under Yogi. But West Bengal will always stagnate, because you have anti-corporate, anti-business mindset.

  17.  @harshatsingh8055  Exports have increased my friend. Highest ever at 670 billion after independence. Problem is oil and gold imports are increasing. We need to reduce those. Chinese imports will come down, as govt is encouraging local production of electronic items and pharma API through PLI schemes.

  18.  @unimpressedsquidward3059  who is asking to reinvent the wheel to compete? Just invite foreign players to setup factories. We are already doing that.

  19.  @pranabjborah7906  Our manufacturing will improve now, because new labour laws are very manufacturing friendly. UP especially, will see lot of growth.

  20.  @sivan8224  No. Quick resolution of disputes is essential. The best policy will not show results, if disputes keep pending for years, during which time company will go bankrupt.

  21. Some parts of India are better than Bangladesh, and some parts of India are worse than Bangladesh. If Bangladesh were a state of India, then it would be exactly at the middle position in gdp per capita. India is large country, so average becomes low. So, don't make hasty conclusions. You should ask, if your state is doing better than Bangladesh. Don't worry about whole India.

  22. Gold-backed is not good. It is not flexible. And where will you bring so much gold? What we need is, increase in productivity of poor people, by any means. One way is to reduce oil dependence, by switching to renewables and biogas.

  23. It is very normal of startups to fail. Only few startups succeed, and many of the big names today, were startups in the past. Failures are the stepping stones to success.

  24. I think we should also look at aluminium based swappable battery because India has lot of bauxite ores. Then we should also harness biogas and ethanol in rural areas. Because plants are naturally capturing solar energy and storing into plants, and that gets concentrated in biogas.
    1
  25. What do you think about biogas? There is so much potential for biogas generation in rural India, using cowdung and agricultural waste. We have 500 billion cattle in India. When they stop giving milk, all they gotta do is, eat agri-waste and shit. By channelling all that shit (including human waste) into biogas plants, we can meet cooking gas needs of the rural areas. And our natural gas imports would come down significantly. And since, the biogas plant geberate manure also, our fertilizer needs would also reduce by some amount.

  26.  @devanshmittal5314  Woh BJP ko bhi gaali de rha hai, video mein. Aur Delhi ameer state hai, isliye free bijli ke paise hain. Delhi humesha profit mein that. Police ka kharcha Centre utha raha hai. Lekin Punjab mein yeh scheme kaise chalega? Punjab pehle se kangaal hai.

  27. The Electricity Reforms Bill is important ! Discom debt should be on govt balance sheets.

  28. We should focus on Aluminium -Air battery, because it is simple and India has large aluminium ore reserves.

  29. ​ @bhaskarms2291 Global prices are cheap because of mechanized farming. Less labour cost and effective irrigation, and correct fertilizer like NPK, not urea.

  30.  nishn111  Bjp did recover from Mallaya. Jaitley passed Fugitive Economic Offenders Act and confiscated his properties to recover much of his money. And he was not running a successful airline. Otherwise, why would he default? Aur bank managers ne chupaaya toh, UPA kya kar rhi thi?

  31. Buy Indian govt bonds.
    1
  32. Govt bonds are meant for pension funds and low-risk investors with less liquidity needs. Adani invests in high risk, high yield with high liquidity themes. Investing in a business itself is better than simple bonds and stocks.

  33. India can catch up by increasing domestic manufacturing, and reducing/replacing/buying-cheaper oil/gas imports.

  34. Japan had great companies like Sony, Toyota, Sansui etc. India also needs to have great companies like these. In every state of India.

  35. Maharashtra is not paying the highest taxes. Just Mumbai and it's suburbs are paying. What is contribution of Eastern Marathwada part? They are following wrong agricultural practices of growing water guzzling sugarcane, which is causing drought. And the politicians of that region are owners of sugar mills, and become insanely rich through that. They only want their business to keep running while farmers take their lives. This is the real crony capitalism (or rather crony socialism) going on.

  36. Japan is a small country. India is a big country. Some parts are like Japan, some like Europe and some like Somalia. We need to make everyone Japan.

  37.  @manikantansv105  That doesn't mean she is running the firm, and providing advisory services. She disclosed, it was dormant. Maybe, she can't transfer stake to husband as he is perhaps not Indian citizen or resident.

  38.  @Neelinmact  Can I assume the same about you, without evidence? In whatever job you are doing?

  39.  @manikantansv105  They can make accusations, but they won't reply? Then why should they be taken seriously? Can we say, they had no jurisdiction to make an accusation? It can't be one way.

  40.  @yeh_desh_hai_humara  Lol! You copied that phrase wrong. You can't even read my comment properly. No wonder, you can't understand, neither Hindenberg's allegations nor Madhabi Buch's replies.

  41. ​ @yeh_desh_hai_humara  You are giving wrong info. LIC was NOT sold. A percentage stake was sold. To public as IPO. It is still owned by govt only. Loan write-off is not the same as loan waiver. For 10 years, you people are spreading this lie. The loans are still active, and have to be repaid. Many recovery done under IBC. And in write-off, money is given to vanks, and new loans given in clean way. But you never questioned UPA, who actually gave loans to their cronies, and didn't bother to recover. The loans were given in 2006-2008 period and hidden by evergreening for 6 years, until Raghuram Rajan became RBI put banks on prompt corrective action, and forced recovery. In 6 years, companies siphoned off the money, and you don't question that.

  42. Kerala is Argentina of India. Too much expense on govt salaries and pensions. Like Javier Milei, someone has to fire govt employees.

  43. Manipur is a unique issue, caused by its own history. 54% people are restricted to 9% of the land. And outsiders are encroaching the forests. Land restrictions on Meitei must be removed. They should not be treated as second class citizen in their own land.

  44. ​ @AjayKumar-ni7ee China is facing deflation. They want to create minimum level of inflation, to keep the economy going. India already has inflation. We don't need to create more.

  45. You never mentioned most important reason. Private entrepreneurship is strong in Japan. In India, people keep begging for govt job. Business people are hated. Japanese founders like Toyoda, would be abused in India. This is the problem.

  46. Important reason for Jio's success was others were crippled by huge spectrum license fees by govt. The govt, charges a percentage of non-telecom revenues also, as license fees. And then they TRAI caps the cost of mobile plans. So, no one ever made money.

  47. One district One Product scheme in India, can replicate the small town mittelstand model.

  48. You have not spoken about the heat wave, that has spiked the demand.

  49. That was actually true. When US Fed raised interest rates, global investors started selling investments from emerging markets and started buying US dollar to invest in US savings accounts. This is called dollar strengthening.

  50. States are putting biggest hurdle in all projects. Whenever Congress comes they will oppose building of new cities and give farm subsidies and loan waivers. This stops development and keeps people poor in farming occupation. Eg- Jagan Reddy stopped building of capital Amravati, which would have created a Hyderabad like revenue generator and jobs for people moving from rural areas.
