Point
Out
• NARENDRA MODI
‘In the past, there
used to be a big
gap between
the people
and the processes of
governance. In the
past sixty days, the
experience of his
Government was that
there were many people who wanted to
contribute towards nation-building, and
devote their time and energy. The only
thing they required was an opportunity
to shine and showcase their contribution.
The MyGov platform is a technologydriven
medium that would provide this
opportunity to contribute towards good
governance. The platform - MyGov -
presents an opportunity to the citizens to
both ‘Discuss’ and ‘Do.’ There are multiple
theme-based discussions on MyGov
where a wide range of people would share
their thoughts and ideas.
• DR HARSH VARDHAN
‘During my
career as
a medical
practitioner, I
have had many life
threatening medical
cases that the doctors
here have helped me
with. I have a lot of
respect for Indian doctors that’s why I
have never gone out of the country to
seek medical treatment.
• GENERAL DALBIR SINGH SUHAG
‘My focus will
be the soldier,
what ultimately
matters is the
man behind the gun.
I will ensure that our
soldiers are motivated;
they are comfortable,
competently trained
and provided with the latest weapons and
equipment. My other focus areas would
be to enhance the Army's operational
preparedness and effectiveness as well
as infrastructure development on the
borders. Force modernization and
optimisation of human resources, welfare
of serving personnel and ex-servicemen
are issues that are very close to my heart.
• DIGVIJAY SINGH
‘It doesn't matter
whether Sonia
Gandhi listened
to her son or the
MPs; what matters is
she didn't become the
PM when she could
have. Natwar Singh's
allegations don't put
him in a good light. His son is a BJP
MLA; he has been across many parties;
that point has to be borne in mind. It is
possible that he is saying all this to create
a platform for his son.
• SHARAD YADAV
‘The way the
future of Indian
language
students is
being destroyed
by the UPSC, it is
like snipping our
mother tongues.
These students are
our future. It is time for them to study
and they are sitting on roads. The UPSC
is ensuring that the number of Indian
language speaking students in the exam is
coming down by each passing year.
• ASHISHKUMAR CHAUHAN
‘India currently
ranks 134th in
the world on
the parameter
of “Ease of doing
business”. We may
disagree to the extent
of problems in India,
but it is understood that developments are
required. We need to create an environment
where companies and entrepreneurs don’t
fail just because of lack of access to funds;
the youth don’t go unemployed due to lack
of opportunities or lack of skill training.
• VINOD RAI
Your Voice
‘Economic prosperity for Indians is
not an option –
it is a necessity.
Economic
empowerment can
be possible if growth
is founded on good
governance. Such
growth is sustainable
only if it is premised
on an ethical code of governance. When
the story of India is written, it should be
written that governance was the solution
and not the problem wherein the State was
the facilitator and not the predator.
• BHUPINDER SINGH HOODA
‘No one is
unhappy
because of me.
There is no such
thing in the party,
only some individuals
may have vested
interest. They may be
finding excuses, but I have cooperated
with everyone.
