Dr. Manmohan Singh
Prime Minister of India
New Delhi.
Dear Dr.Singh ,
Over the last few weeks, we have seen that that our hard earned money ( about 40 % of our hard earned money goes to government as direct and indirect taxes ) was been looted more blatantly by our own politicians under your leadership than by Moguls or Britishers !!
We are ashamed of your leadership, more so, because you are a highly educated Prime Minister . It was hoped that a highly educated person has become the PM , the politics & governance would be without compromise and would improve , but seeing the massive loot of the our money in IPL, Rotting of food grains , naxalite problem , unchecked inflation , CWG , 2G & 3G , MCI expose , Adarsh’ & now LIC , it seems that the game of looting the nation will continue unabated . I still recall that you were the first one to back A .Raja last year , when the issue of 2G allocation was raised , you have stood beside him . Now that post the Supreme court intervention , Raja is gone , what are your thoughts ?
This is the first government in the country where the supreme court had to intervene many times and express shock ( remember the supreme court questioning CBI in Mulayam & Mayawati case , telling the government to give grains free rather than letting them rot !! & now the silence or patronage of the 2G minister !! ).
Dr.Singh, do not forget that the media reaches till the last man in this nation , and when they hear that the Prime minister lead government has looted lakhs of Crores , the reply in 2014 is going to be worse than Bihar. Over 400 million poor people do not even get one full meal a day & more than 5 million kids die every year of malnutrition !!
Dr.Singh , in history , you will go down as the most ineffective Prime Minister . You are the only Prime Minster, who was blatantly used & his position repeatedly abused by the Gandhi family . No wonder, Sonia came to your rescue saying that you are 100 % above board, and that your honesty should never be questioned . Dr.Singh , can you raise your hand and say that you are honest and you lead ministers like Sharad Pawar, A. Raja , Shashi Tharoor etc...........Your integrity and Honesty is just a matter of your 'being an educated & learned person' and nothing beyond. In the last 7 years that you have lead this country , you have denigrated the government institutions & investigative bodies to mere puppets, and systemically allowed the loot to happen just to retain your chair . Dr.Singh . It is high time that you resigned and moved on and start writing your memoirs ‘honestly’.
I think it was a clever ploy to make you the Prime Minister , so that you could share all the blame for the planned loot , and when it comes to taking credit for NREGA , food security bill or women reservation bill , it would be the NAC headed by Sonia . ...............You should keep this email for your record . Post your stepping down( whenever it happens ) , you will be the first one in the line of fire from the Gandhi family for your inept handling of security , inflation and corruption . They will be the first one to say that could not understand managing a coalition and became morally flexible and allowed the loot of the nation !!
I also urge the opposition ( BJP ) to work on a program to educate the common man, that we must ensure that the congress is out of power for the next 10 years to get this nation back on track .........from 2014 till 2025 we do not need congress at all .
I am sure that all marked in this email will understand the anger of the common man and act as per our wishes !!
A common man

Healthy foods- A must have
Rajendra Pratap Gupta
President
Disease Management Association of India (DMAI)
Dated: October 22nd, 2010.

Hon'ble Minister for Health & Family Welfare

CEO’s of the industry
Subject: An important appeal
Dear Shri Azad ji & CEO’s ,
This appeal needs your esteem, kind and personal attention.
Disease Management Association of India (DMAI ) – The Population Health Improvement Alliance is thankful to the Ministry of Health & Family welfare for taking action on its recommendations for health reforms appeal sent last year ( dated November 23rd 2009 ). Members, associated organizations and the Board of Directors of DMAI – The Population Health Improvement Alliance, are highly appreciative of the steps that the current government is taking to tackle the healthcare issues concerning our nation.
One area where DMAI feels that the Ministry & the industry have to draw its focus and attend urgently is:
Issue guidelines & standards ( and enforce them ) with regards to the food served in airlines , railways , other public transports, government canteens, private dining establishments, School canteens & packed foods ( all forms )
All such foods / foods items must carry the calorific intake for each serving
The customer must be given a choice of low calorie, low glycemic index, and zero cholesterol options rather than forcing them to eat unhealthy foods that adds to the disease burden of this nation.
Above all, all packaged food companies must carry tips for good health on the individual packs – at least a one liner if not more!!
It is proven that Indians are genetically susceptible to circulatory disorders , and that we can only fight it by inculcating healthy eating habits by educating the public on healthy foods, promoting healthy foods ,and at last , giving them an option to eat what is good for their health .
I have personally experienced that all the airlines, Indian railways, public transport and eateries are serving foods that have a high glycemic index, high in fat content and are loaded with calories that remain in the body as excess fats. Such foods are a slow poison for consumers!! This is the main cause of India becoming a diseased nation, and the alarming rise in the obesity amongst children in addition to diabetes and hypertension. DMAI had conducted a random Health Risk Assessment with 2000 people in association with IIHMR, Delhi. The revelations have been shocking!! We have an abnormally high incidence of diabetes, hypertension and obesity. It’s a call to action.
We have to aim at keeping the BMI of Indians below 23, and today, it is shocking that about 50 % of Urban Indians are either at the risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension or joint pains or suffering from it.
By the time Indians reach forty years of age, they become patient of one form of illness or another. It is high time that we all get together and put efforts to make India a healthier nation. We cannot just blame the government for the healthcare issues and leave it to handle this issue alone!
Through this appeal, we expect all the airlines, public transport and eateries to ensure that they serve healthy food and carry the total calorific intake for each serving.
It is also expected that that all the concerned will take the health of Indians as a top priority in all the offerings when it comes to foods intake , and give options like brown bread , sugar substitutes , low calorie and low fat meals as an option and not force the passengers & customers to eat high calorie meals.
DMAI is committed to working with all the major stake holders in the entire continuum of care to bring about a population health improvement through actionable steps
We expect the government to formulate definite guidelines on this issue, and the industry to take a proactive approach. Work place wellness must be focused on by the HR captains and CEO’s of all the ‘responsible’ corporations.
DMAI appreciates the proactive approach of the government to ensure healthcare for all. Should the government agencies need any assistance in drafting guidelines or in the implementation plan, DMAI would be more than happy to volunteer for the same
In hope of the needful
Sincerely

Ecorape in Navi Mumbai
( Via email )
Dear Jairam,
I suggest you to send your team to Nerul, Navi Mumbai ( opposite Dr.D.Y.Patil stadium ). You can see that the beauty of Navi Mumbai ; the hillocks are being razed down under the patronage of the NCP leader , Ganesh Naik.
This is nothing short of an 'Ecorape' . Please save the beautiful hills and the natural creations . Today , these are being razed to make way for sky scrapers . Our next generations will pay a heavy price for such neglect and callous attitude of builder lobby in Navi Mumbai
Expect an immediate stop to such activities
Best regards
Rajendra Pratap Gupta

Government ( MP's ) , Government employees & the Common Man !!
A few days back, the members of Parliament got a raise ( Over 300 % ) . Today, the government employees got 10 % increase in their dearness allowance , and the “poor” Common Man gets to read the headlines that, the inflation for food items has crossed over 15 %. But Pranab says, economy will grow at 9 % next year
This is the government (of ) MP’s, (for ) government employees & (at the cost) of the common man !! This is what happens when there is “democracy” for a population that is either illiterate or unemployed or both ............Votes count and voters don’t .
Democracy will function effectively in a population that is literate and employed .Else dictatorship or democracy mean the same !!

US increases VISA fees and Bans outsourcing
It is quite natural for any country into recession to resort to protectionists measures. So for sure, that Indian IT / BPO companies will face a flack and lose business . So what to do ? How to counter the threat ?
Improve & increase the current offering , slash prices and force the US firms to come over to you..............this is the best way for Indian companies to help US based companies to lower costs and increase profits ...and ensure that Indian IT companies are more compelling value proposition for US corporations hungry for profits . Let's see what works better - Business over politics or Politics over business ?

An Open Letter to the Prime Minister
13th September 2010
Dr. Manmohan Singh
Prime Minister
Government of India
7, Race Course , New Delhi-110011
An Open letter from a common man
Dear Dr.Singh,
Namaskaar
I wrote you a letter on 14th February this year asking about creating wealth and employment ( available on my blog www.rajendragupta.wordpress.com ). Post that letter , i did hear Pranab da stating that we need to create wealth ........but as always, i have not seen a concrete action plan post that “loaded statement”
For the past few months , i have been wanting to communicate to you what an ordinary Indian thinks about the current state of affairs, so that you can take appropriate action. Since so many things have happened, i will just randomly start than prioritizing any particular issue
Wastage of Food grains : In India , it has been a tradition of not wasting food on the plate . But we are wasting more than 50000 of tons of food grain and on the other side , we are having unprecedented and unchecked inflation. Conditions are revolting for the common man. If i was born in a deprived family , i would have become a ‘Civilian with a gun, out there to seek revenge’; what you can call as a naxalite !! But i have a very decent corporate job , i live with my family in Mumbai and i have a more sophisticated way to vent my anger with this note ( i presume that is the reason why we say that the Pen is mightier than the sword ! ). Else , for sure , i would be a more dreaded naxalite that Koteshwara Rao !! My social & financial standing prohibit me to think on those lines for moment ............
Back to the point of the wastage of food grains , i am quite surprised that supreme court ( knowing well , that our courts are the most inefficient & corrupt ). Still they felt that the government should distribute grains free than letting them rot and even passed an order . Not just the citizens but the court also believes that the government is a laggard when it comes to addressing the issues of the common-man & So it had to pass an order !)
What are the steps you are taking to ensure that this wastage does not happen again ? Have you taken the FCI & Ministry of agriculture to task for a poor job on forecasting the production , planning storage and facilitating distribution of grains or exporting them rather than letting them rot when the country is facing a double digit inflation ? If i were in your position, i would sack the minister , the secretary of the Ministry & a bunch of senior officials responsible for the criminal waste and start the legal proceedings to penalise them & disqualify them from holding any post ever . So that no one would ever repeat this even for one KG of food grain, leave alone 50,000 tonnes. You seem to be enjoying as a silent spectator !!
Dr.Singh , how would you feel if your children or grand children slept hungry for a few days or just had one meal a day ? Do not forget that , 4 lac of children have their first birthday as their last & 56 % of the women suffer from anaemia . All this is easily preventable . I wish your children were malnourished and then you became the Prime Minister
Honesty , inefficiency & Corruption : Dr.Singh, i sometimes wonder why people call you honest ! In my view , you are not honest at all . Yes you might have some integrity ( though you have become morally flexible to a large extent ). Let me quote your silence on ministries handled by Mamta , Lalu, Raja, Sharad and others........if you were honest , you would never tolerate their incompetence and corrupt practices ! You are the patron ( rather the Head ) of this gang of inefficient ministers . CBI has become ‘Congress Blackmail & Bachane ka institution” . When there is a show of strength in Lok Sabha or there is a need for support , CBI goes to the Supreme court to withdraw cases against Mulayam , Maya and Lalu etc . Whenever these people take congress to task , CBI starts knocking the door with charge sheets. Which honesty are you talking about Dr.Singh or are you selectively blind ?
Leadership abilities : You had once remarked that the history will judge you & not the opposition . Let me tell you that history would judge you as the most incapable leader who moved with the tide & sometimes it worked ( like in 1990’s ) and most of the time you failed miserably
Your party always projects you as the person who modernized India. Totally wrong !! In 1990’s , you were pushed against the wall with foreign exchange left for just a few days . Dr.Singh, you had no choice but to let the rupee devalue , and let the foreign investors bring money , and that too, was envisioned by PVNR ( who will never get his due share as he is was not from the Gandhi clan !! )
If you are such a great economist ( Look at your team: Finance minister is an economist , Home minister is a past finance minister , Montek is a finance man , In addition to this , you have Kaushik Basu, Raghuram Rajan etc....bunch of economic advisors ) . Then, why the hell are you all floundering !! You are all simply clueless about inflation and its solution!
I heard Pranab da saying yesterday that he was worried with inflation rising again !! He actually meant that he was failing ! I know that sometimes it is hard to put the right words, but public is not a fool Dr.Singh . We can make out what is underneath your statements .
Here is what historians would actually consider while rating you :
1. Allegiance to the Gandhi clan and not to the nation
2. Sharm-Al Shaikh & your love for Bush ( the residents of America hated the man and you loved him , i always fail to understand this one )
3. Double digit Inflation ( You even failed as a astrologer here )
4. Common Wealth Games fiasco
5. Kashmir violence ( Worst thing to imagine is that house wives are on the streets pelting stones & Omar & you are on the same boat !! )
6. Naxalites
7. Relations with China ( Visa row clearly indicates that relations are at an all time low )
8. US sanctions against outsourcing and increasing the VISA fees ( you just get flattered by Barack’s calling you ‘Guru’ , and you have gone overboard to get the nuclear deal through . Look at India’s past, and you will see that whenever India has faced sanctions , India has come out with its innovative research and developed the capabilities . Agni & Chandrayaan were built by Indian scientists. I don’t think that we should have surrendered our ‘Nuclear Sovereignty’ by signing the nuclear deal with a lot of riders and opening our sites for inspection to foreign powers .....You have let us down & undermined the capability of our scientists Dr.Singh ! Long term prospects of India of being the nuclear giant is gone with the deal . Without the deal , we could have taken longer but become stronger
9. Relations with Pakistan , Nepal & Sri Lanka have gone at an all time low during your regime
10. Farmers suicides are a blot to this nation
11. Andhra Violence
12. You are the only Prime Minister who has appointed & tolerated incompetent & disobedient ministers like Mamta , Sharad , Raja , Tharoor et al.
Under your Prime Ministership the political health, Social health & Economic health of the nation has touched a new low . I am not a fan of Advani , but when i see what Mani Shanker Aiyer did recently w.r.t. the Common Wealth Games or what Tharoor did a few months back or what Digvijay Singh has been saying about the Home minister or your own M.P’s criticizing the Kapil Sibal or Jagan defying congress and continuing with its Odarpu Yatra , i think Advani was right in saying that you are a weak Prime Minister . This is the worse government we have ever seen . The things have gone so bad that people curse you and your team . Even those who are well to do, are revolting in conscience and criticizing you ............you should be ashamed Dr.Singh of still sticking in your chair . Media calls you night watch man !! I feel ashamed to mention the language common man uses for you .
Dr.Singh , you represent the ‘political culture’ of this nation . If you are silent ( or helpless ) seeing the corruption and inefficiency of the ministers who report into you , how can you expect the citizens of this nation to stand up against corruption and inefficiency ? You are leading by a wrong example . Please change it immediately or do not give talks that calls the people to stand up & raise voice , when you are silent and blind to acts of corruption , inefficiency and nepotism !!
Seeing what you have done , i can put here that you never could become a politician and failed , and also that the professor in you died as you could not convince your colleagues of looking after the nation as per the mandate given to your government .
Every minute you stay in office or every inch you move is financed by my taxes ( read common man’s tax money ), and i have every right to question you about your indecision and decisions both . Please do not ignore the concerns of the common-man . Change your style of working , make changes in your cabinet , let the corrupt ministers go .......and do not do the mistake to pass off Rahul as a representative of youth for the nation .........He does not represent the youth , he represents the Gandhi’s
I expect you to act on this ...............you already have a detailed note sent out to you on Feb 14th about the steps you could consider to take in the interest of this nation . Else , resign and go. For sure , we will get a better Prime Minister ........

Change your style of working , make changes in your cabinet , let the corrupt ministers go .......and do not do the mistake to pass off Rahul as a representative of youth for the nation .........He does not represent the youth , he represents the Gandhi’s
I expect you to act on this ...............you already have a detailed note sent out to you on Feb 14th about the steps you could consider to take in the interest of this nation . Else , resign and go. For sure , we will get a better Prime Minister ........

Don't try to copy and chase China
One of the most important ( and expensive ) learning’s out of common wealth games experience has been that we should stop following China !!
We hoped to repeat the Beijing Olympic games at Common Wealth Games , and are very close to mess up with the much smaller games event than Olympic Games ( CWG )
It is time for our politicians to wake up and stop dreaming of making Mumbai like Shanghai or aping China in terms of double digit growth. India can never do a “China story”.
We tried to copy SEZ's model from China , and today we know how many SEZ bidders have walked away from their signed deals for setting up SEZ's
We have to come up with our indigenous model of growth rather than making references of China and trying to bench mark our growth numbers with China's milestones !
