Quick look at the group of ministers press meet in Ahmedabad, and full video of the question/answer part (Video)
Ahmedabad, 13 June 2012
P.Chidambaram
He refrained from attacking the Gujarat government on any issue. He accepted Gujarat’s growth story and expressed pleasure, but gave long answer on how central government resources too were responsible for that. He talked about the progressive figures of plan outley of Gujarat and made his point that there was no injustice to Gujarat. He said it’s obvious that NDA states would complain about injustice to them from UPA govt in centre. He said when NDA was ruling in centre, non-NDA ruled states were complaining about injustice from centre.
Ambika Soni
She had only one point to raise throughout the press conference, and that about the “highest rate” of malnutrition among women and children in Gujarat. At one point Soni told journalists what questions they should ask to the ministers. A journalist followed Soni’s advise and asked the question that Soni had suggested. Soni was repeatedly saying one thing that centre gives fund, but it is to be checked that whether Gujarat uses it properly or not. Soni questioned the vibrancy in Gujarat in light of the figures of malnutrition among women and children.
Salman Khurshid
He was obsessed with two things. One was the sub-quota to Muslims, and the other was one particular minority scholarship scheme that Gujarat govt doesn’t accept, and doesn’t contribute its 25% as per the provision in the scheme. When asked about the objection of the Supreme Court in the issue of religious quota, Khurshid said the vacation bench tends to be conservative, and showed optimism that full bench will okay the quota.

Planning Commission observations : Social Sector Issues
Gujarat has been registering a robust growth but human development indicators are not matching the pace of economic growth.

There is a shortage of health human resource particularly the Health Workers (51.1%), Specialists at CHC (28.1%), and Laboratory Technicians (21.5%), etc.
44.6% children under 5 suffer from malnutrition. (UP and Bihar fare better)

Chindi thinks like center allotting funds from his “Lunghi” or from Sonia’s Swiss account. It’s tax payers money which they are allotting in all state. In Atalji’s government Gujarat has received 3.82% of tax money return back for development work & in UPA’s government Gujarat is getting 3% of Tax money for development, That % is reducing day by day. I believe center should declare Ahmadabad as metropolitan city and give metro rail facility to the state like center supporting in other state(Mumbai,Delhi,Calkata,Banglore,etc).
THESE three idiots came to AHD. GUJARAT and complained and congratulated at the same time….
REMEMBER they are from the people who have ROBBED and FOOLED us for 60 plus years….
I do not know what kind of questions and answers were given….
THIS SALMAN KUSSHID is a best crook with soft voice and fool people… THEY still want to DIVIDE and RULE … THIS strategy has worked for 60 plus years and why change now…. THANKS and JAY HIND…
THIS AMBICA SONI is nothing but english loving person who only knows how to complain and she will never talk about mistakes and blunders of UPA- CONGRESS government….JAY HIND..
BY making comments about P.CHIDDU. I do not want to insult my comments.. He is not worth making any comments…. THESE IDIOTS days are numbered… YOU will not find them in 2014 ….
JAY HIND…
SHOCKING TALKING OF RESERVATIONS, QUOTAS ETCETC IN GUJARAT. SALMN WHO IS LAW MINISTER SEEMS TO SUGGEST LAW IS DIFF DURING VACATION WHEN VACATION BENCH SITS & LAW IS DIFF WHEN VACATION IS OVER WHEN DIFF BENCH SITS. ARE WE IN INDIA OR IN SOME LAWLESS COUNTRY.?
WITH NONE OF THESE QUOTAS STATE IS FAR AHEAD OF ALL STATES SINCE GUJ GOVT DOES NOT DIFFERENTITE BETWEEN PEOLE ALL ARE GUJARATIS.
AMBIKA SONI HAILS FROM PUNJAB EARLIER PUNJAB & HARYANA WERE SAME STATES. DOES SHE KNOW THAT HARYANA WHICH IS BORDERING DELHI HAS THE WORST MALE /FEMALE CHILD RATIO IN INDIA. THEY GET GIRLS FROM NORTH EAST & KERALA & ORISSA TO MARRY BOYS IN HARYANA. ITS A CONGRESS STATE. SHE IS INFO & BROADCASTING MINISTER (CENTRAL GOVT) WHY NOT SHE ANNOUNCE ALL THIS NEWS ? ALSO ABOUT KHAP PANCHAYAT IN HARYANA.
HOW MANY TIMES HAS SHE TALKED TO SHRI NAMOJI ABOUT GUJ MALNUTRITION?
THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE REASONS FOR THEIR VISIT THAN MEETS THE EYE.
Salman Khurshid is cunt. His behavior during UP election was disgusting and he was giving speech like Muslims do not have a mind. His speech regarding Sonia’s tears on seeing killed terrorists was like stupid woman telling story to her 5 year old child story. Also he must be corrupt as well because he was fighting case in court for Pakistani who migrated during partition and was not given properties worth of crores of his forefathers because as per agreement/law between India Pak, such properties were to be taken by Govt. But after loosing case he lobbied with PM and got Govt. legislation changing law to give property to that Paki.
salman khurshid is a pig but point that ambika soni raised is somewhat valid & am hoping that government must be doing something about that
Resources come from Central/Federal govt to State govt in any country. So, why any other UPA congress govt could not show performance like Gujarat? What was the reason Modi able to put a performance even with all obstacles.
It says people follow the leader. Finally, these people started to accept Modi’s lead.
This is a good indication. Modhwadia, Vaghela, Gohil, Amin Company is uncapable to lead Gujarat. They have to bring help from outside.
narendra modi……….married sonia gandhi
india get maximum benefit……..before king do marriage infavour of country………..now they have to do that…….
What a FLOP show ! Modhvadia and company will surely miss several nights sleep now. DigVijay or any one who proposed and sponsored the the grand tamasha could not not have foreseen such a disaster. First someone pulled the string and dancing dolls were stilled (in view of developing drama of presidential selection. Second they lost the media attention completely. Sorry Narendra Modi, You lost a great chance to show your curatorial skill. There were supposed to be several tigers roaming in Gujarat for a great kill, but they turned out to be punny little mouses.
Ambika Soni – should look at I&B ministry………see the state of Indian films and TV. It has become so vulgar and obscene day by day….what impact it is having on the social fabric of society will be felt only in next few years…Times Of India is like a soft porn site…
Movies are so violent, with foul language and sex/sleaze…i worry how she would rate it on malnutrition of morality of Indian society.
I agree it is democracy and there should not be censorship, but there has to be a domain for everything and that is why we have regulations….people are welcome to watch what they want and can find it and see……….but please dont thrust it on us…news site should give news not who is baring it all!!!
Lesser said about Chidambaram and khurshid the better…I just ignore these thick skinned people who will understand when they are kicked out of office
All the stats mean nothing if they are not compared for the same parameters across multiple states without changes in definitions and as a function of time. For example, even if every kid in Gujarat goes to school now, the literacy rate will take 12+ years t start showing marked difference. Besides, these central ministers should visit CONgress ruled states and compare the same parameters there. Also, they should answer all Qs related to spectrum of scams worth 10s of lacks of crore (worth several hundred billion dollars).
You guys have got it all wrong !!
The 3 ministers and diggy actually came to Gujarat to see the developments.
Till now they had heard about the progress in Gujarat and now they took an opportunity to see it all by themselves.
Hope Ms.Ambica Soni makes the facts known to all and sundry in the UPA !!!
Japan bhai .. Video nathi aa PC no?
Let me be realistic and say that THESE congress party people are not too smart but well organized , plenty of money to burn…..and MANY hired GUNDAS,,,, SO it will not become easy to defeat them… UNLESS all CONGRESS hating people unite and send message to all family members that your nation is being ROBBED by these worthless people….
I have seen their strategy and all dirty work they do during election….
ONLY IRON CUTS IRON… so we all nation loving people must become active to take nation back from this foreign born woman…. SHE still thinks BHARAT is her property….
CONGRESS will send ministers to GUJARAT now more and THIS PURCHASED-PAID-CORRUPT media will honor them like anything ….. TO me THESE CONGRESSES ARE NOTHING BUT “KAURAVAS:”…..JAY HIND.
Three idiots in ahmedabad.they have nothing to do in center so they are on tour of country.hope they learn something from gujarat on how to govern.
this chidamber is biggest liar ,i was no one ask him how he come in power,i have answer by fraud,is this fraud man know he is in gujarat ,no body interested in your lie,why you allow

The three did not acknowledge that Gujarat sends money to Center in the form of different taxes. It is Gujarat money that it gets back after being retained by the center for a year.
