Re: Abandoned as a child bride, India’s first lady still hopes her husband will call
Okay … Well I think that is crazy … The leader of a nation now has no control over security and no control over his wife and the media picks up this story to blame who exactly?
Re: Abandoned as a child bride, India’s first lady still hopes her husband will call
He does have declared asset of 1.6 crore rupees and one can ask where did he get that money from. but i take that any day as compared to lakhs of crores of corruption per politicians that happen in congress.
But again, he got no family so its hard to believe he would do any corruption. Under congress rule rahul's brother in law made 2-3 lakh crores in just last few years. That is like total GDP of many nations, Raja choudhary was involved in 20 lakh crores in telecom sector. As compared to these guys our PM are practically god sends.
Maybe he isnt guilty of embezzlement or nepotism, but as a politician he must have special interests, lobby groups etc that he needs on his side. And how does one serve those interests without getting involved in the system and the corruption that is part of it? Either he ignores it, which is in itself rather corrupt, or he finds ways to make things happen by working in and sometimes around the system... and that sort off corruption goes undetected because its written off as business as usual, and because corruption that gets results is the sort of thing people overlook, being more concerned with things like nepotism and theft.

Well there has to be someone or someones who are in charge of security…
With Modi being as popular and powerful as he is, isnt it possible that he can find some way of influencing said persons either directly or indirectly?
Im sorry, but I simply cant believe Modi could have done all that he has done in India given the endemic corruption in the system without knowing how to manipulate it and arm twist where needed.

She has already filed an RTI with the govt to know the details. We will know when she knows it.
Re: Abandoned as a child bride, India’s first lady still hopes her husband will call
Its not crazy, its standard practice all over the world. Even American president has to follow orders of his security.
Media being just media.
Correct me if im wrong, but didnt Indira Gandhi choose to have Sikhs as her bodyguards, against the wishes of advisers? And then was assassinated for her troubles...
How did she get to choose her own security if its not her call?
Re: Abandoned as a child bride, India’s first lady still hopes her husband will call
I dont get it… Congress can control security but Modi cant (or wont). Clearly if the Congress could do it, Modi can as well. That you believe he doesnt just seems to be a conclusion based on wishful thinking.
Now, whatever you say, you’ll get a response that India under Modi is doing fantastic and it was in deep **** during congress rule. So, Modi’s wife getting security is an epitome of democratic values according to Modi fanboys and as a true torchbearer of democratic values, he would not exert influence on such matters.

I had heard this in documentary I once saw..
Dont know about that. I think by that time security to PM was provided by delhi police. SPG was created after her assassination.
Re: Abandoned as a child bride, India’s first lady still hopes her husband will call
I'm saying because she stills lives in the sticks it must be her decision - not his ... she would get better security living in comfort in the city, and if that was MHA's decision to make they would force her to go live in that high security, but it is not like that
Where she lives is her decision. The MHA can decide if she should get security or not (maybe Modi had some input in that), but they cannot force her to live anywhere.
Re: Abandoned as a child bride, India’s first lady still hopes her husband will call
So, it is not 'her decision' as you were implying earlier.
Looks like you are having comprehension problems. Here, let me simplify - the state cannot decide where she lives, its her decision. That's the right of an individual in a democracy. However, she cannot force her husband to live with her, since he also has the right to chose where he lives. She can chose to go rent a house in New Delhi and live close to her husband if that's what she chooses.
