Article authored by @Ajain and @Rgov - astute political observers

As the election season is heating up in India and race to 272 is on, there is a lot of misinformation that is being propagated. Most of this comes by way of people leaving comments which are pole-opposite to the actual truth. So if you are annoyed by some of the comments on various YouTube videos, you can cut and paste this list as a rebuttal to the comments :-). Facts are facts and data is data. Opinion hyperbole doesn't warrant my attention.

So before you criticize Modiji and his government, answer these three questions:

  1. How do these figures compared to 55 years of Congress or UPA government?
  2. What more do you expect in 5 years?
  3. Just who do you want to see as the next PM if not NARENDRA MODI?

Very nicely articulated. One thing which bothers me is closing of airlines. Not a good omen considering future air travel prospects.

Organizations have to stay competitive and be financially prudent while creating stakeholder values. Those who adapt to changing business environment thrive at the expense of others who don't. Airline sector is particularly vulnerable to consolidations. If you look at fortune 500 companies, 90% of the companies don't exist today. Key parameter to note is whether there is a decline in air travel or not. Looking at the data, air travel is increasing leaps and bound suggesting vibrancy in this sector.
