Tourism Ministry plans hotels on Chinese border

Published by Faking News in Aug 13
Ministry of Tourism today announced a scheme for building 170 low budget hotels along Chinese border, the Minister of state for tourism announced at a glittering function in New Delhi
These hotels are being built to meet the increased requirement on account of manifold increase  in incursion tourism from China in recent times.
Terming this as a victory of Incredible India campaign run by the ministry, the minister said, “The paucity of rooms to house the guests was being faced for a long time. In fact, in the recent case, an army unit tourist group came to Arunachal Pradesh and had to leave within two days due to lack of facilities. Earlier too, many such groups had to live in tents and barracks and this does not go well with our culture of treating guests as God.”
The hotels will be built under PPP (Private Politician Public Partnership) and government has rolled out several incentivization plans to attract the private sector’s interest. A proposal by Skylight Hospitality is under consideration. It is likely to be cleared in a few months weeks hoursminutes.
Responding to a question on plans for other borders, the minister stated that the profile of tourists from other bordering countries was different and the plans have to reflect the customer profiles.
“For example, the many visitors from west as well east arrive with one way tickets. One type of visitors use India as transit point onward to heaven thus requiring special facilities like burial grounds while others stay here for decades. Several proposals to cater to various groups are on the anvil”
On being asked whether the hospitality plan of the ministry would not dilute sovereignty of the country, the minister responded, “This is unnecessary politicization by opposition and media. Our leadership has clearly stated that abstract terms like sovereignty, security, poverty etc. are individual perceptions created by one’s state of mind. In fact, we are seriously thinking of bringing a bill about Freedom of Perception. This bill aims at reducing the harshness in public discourse by changing adjectives like corrupt to income source deviant, criminal to law defiant and poor to FSB dependent  etc.”

What went wrong for AAP - A letter to Arvind Kejriwal

Dear Mr Arvind Kejriwal, At the outset, my sympathies for the unkind hand dealt to you in the Parliamentary election results. Kindly do not get disappointed by these. We Indians have a habit of leaving incomplete loops even when the verdict seems to be conclusive. We never finish off anyone completely, always leaving a door open for the vanquished to claim his or her self respect and a chance to bounce back into the reckoning. Gain of 4 seats in Punjab is the door which the populace has left open, for you. It is easy to understand your disappointment, though. Not even a single seat in Delhi which was supposed to be your pocket borough. In Haryana, where AAP was planning to fight assembly elections, even dreaming, rather salivating, of forming state government, all candidates finishing 4 th to 6 th with less than 4% vote share! Even Yogendra Yadav who had begun treating himself as Chanakya of Indian politics, came fourth in Gurgaon which happens to be a part of NCR, centre of

Bechara's of the world triumph - always; Why bypolls went the way they did.

Most of us would have heard or read this story before but its relevance to the current situation makes a retelling necessary. A sword smith came to the King’s durbar (any King, let’s be secular) and declared that he had the world’s best sword. It was so good & sharp that it could pierce any shield, repeat any shield in the world.  The claim was tested on the few shields available and when found to be true, the King became happy, and as usually happens in such stories, gave a lot of gold and other jewels to the smith and sent him off. A year or two later, the smith came to the King’s court again, this time brandishing a shield which, he claimed, no sword in the world could pierce. The people were simple in those days and he was believed.  The King was about to be relieved of some more gold and gems but then, one smart Ram Singh remembered the sword that the smith had sold earlier. He got up and reminded the king of the impossibility of both claims being true and asked the

Mufflerman; A blow to the dreams of Kejriwal

Image
It is the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) cadre which seems to have delivered the deadliest blow to the ambitions of Arvind Kejriwal, by creating and hyping the imagery of the Mufflerman! Just look at the situation that prevailed when LG took a decision to dissolve the assembly. Kejriwal was picking up the pieces after the disastrous performance in parliamentary elections and subsequent flip flops between demanding elections and asking Congress to support an AAP government when re-elections became a certainty. He was believed to be an honest politician who did not get the opportunity (Even a Raja could not have done anything in 49 days), an opportunist who would not hesitate in taking support from the people he has fought earlier, an ambulance chaser who would not hesitate in eulogizing the terrorists and defaming a police officer if he could get few more votes, an unprincipled one who would change his enemy from corruption to communalism just because it was convenient to do so a
