Rahul Gandhi said India is for Indians, and 99 percent people think it. I am with him in the first statement. I have no idea about the second statement and wish it were true. I want to know a little more deeper about his thought. Whether he is meaning Mumbai is for Biharis(No insult to Bihari brothers, you are fantastic set of people) or India is for Indians? In case he is talking India is for Indians, what are the places belong to India?
I know Kashmir is not for Indians, and for Kashmiris. Article 370 separates it from rest of India. Kashmir is even not for Kashmir Hindus who were thrown out from the place. Mr Syama Prasad Mookerjee was killed in Kashmir for visiting it. Does Mr Gandhi think in line with Mr Mukerjee? Or he just thinks Mr Abdullah was right in impriosioning Mr Mukerjee and Kashmir is not for Indians.
Mr Gandhi is more interested about Bihar and UP votes (Congress performed very badly in UP and Bihar since 1993). He is least interested with India is for Indians. I would salute him, if he can tell the same thing in Kashmir or Nagaland.

Odishaku khaila kie?? Congress..
It is a modified version of Odia geeta E gaura. Odisha is one of poorest states in India. It is the state with higher minerals, more number of rivers, rainfalls above the national level, higher percentage of forest in land. Why is it still poor? I broadly put it on two different reason. 1) Attitude of Odiya people and 2)Attitude of central leadership towards Odisha.
Not all but most of the Odia people are happy with whatever they get. And they believe in simple living. So they are happy with whatever they have and don't aspire and dream. This has lead to laziness and dependent on luck. If people don't get their regular crop (due to flood or drought) they blame their luck and go ahead with the life. This in turn become a part and parcel of their live and they have not thought of having a better life. They have not dreamed, so having a lion share in the mines, Odisha has a low share in industrial production.
India's revenue model was designed to federated where central government collects the revenue centrally and let the Govt of India do the expenditure and state government spend it as per the donations by central government. Odisha government was not getting enough money from India government. Until a couple of years ago salary of the Odisha government staff was higher than the the annual income.
Odisha provides income to indian railway, but never gets its due. Nalco was done at the expense of odisha's mine and environment, but AP (Vizag port) gets more revenue from Nalco than Odisha.Odisha has more mines and income of state govt is heavily dependent on mine royalties. Central govt always put the royalties less than recommended. Odisha supplies the iron ore, and coal and steel plants are in neighboring states. Vizag steel plant gets steel and coal from Odisha.
Congress planned with green revolution and white revolution and Odisha was not a part of the experiment. When odisha is going through worst flood in the century Congress government is granting aid to Assam and Bihar and declaring them as national calamity. And our prime minister has no time to access the flood situation in Odisha. Whatever his deputy says,congress ensures that we don't get it. For them popularity of chief minister was a bigger concern than the problem of the people.
When odiya MPs went to meet Congress PM to discuss Odisha issue and special package, PM denied to discuss and worst, he said money does not grow in tree and can't be given to Odisha. Idiot PM, money grows in the mines of Odisha, it is in the deep forests, it is in the rivers with water and futile lands. Give us what we deserve. We don't need mercy from you.
Things have changed a little now. Currently every MP gets money to spend in his constituency and tax collection is distributed. Odisha government gets some money to plan its development. The development done in last 9 years was probable more than what congress has done in more than 50 years. Congress leadership in Odisha has been weak. There are no cabinet minister from odisha during Congress government (Barring mahtab and Biju Patnaik who did not even complete a year). And those who are minister are more loyal to Congress (Read Nehru family) than Odisha.
