Agree bro.....Thats the big reason US president Obama himself opposed Walmart & asked American people to stay away from it.......
At Railway they already raise FDI by 100% and in Broadcasting by 75%
Agree bro......even America refused more FDI in sectors like banking, telecom & defence.....citing national interests......
India was banned from banking & still banned in US for defence FDI.........

FDI in the country should be less then 50% if Govt. can't run the Country without FDI then better to step down from the position currently this Govt. belongs.Agree bro......even America refused more FDI in sectors like banking, telecom & defence.....citing national interests......
India was banned from banking & still banned in US for defence FDI.........
Views from a BJP basher................
When Kejriwal defeated the media
The AAP leader had gone over our heads, effectively used social media, but most importantly, gone directly to those who really mattered: the voter! Pompous editors, noisy anchors and a corporatised media ownership had all been defeated, says RAJDEEP SARDESAI.
In the 2015 Delhi elections, Arvind Kejriwal didn't just demolish his political opposition; he also defeated the media. That might seem a strange thing to say since the general impression for a long time has been that Kejriwal and his AAP party are a creation of the media, and television news in particular.
The fact is, February 2015 is not December 2013. Then, we couldn't get enough of Kejriwal: he was popping in and out of TV studios and every move, every soundbite of his, was tracked with relentless energy. "Would you do it with any other chief minister?" I recall Narendra Modi asking me once in a phone conversation. His concern was not unjustified. The so-called 'national' television media essentially operates out of a small corner of Noida. So much easier to have OB vans parked outside Kejriwal's residence in the vicinity than, let's say, in distant Panaji. "I am also an aam aadmi chief minister," Manohar Parikkar told me in 2013, "but you won't highlight that I also live a simple life because I am not in Delhi." I have no doubt that Manik Sarkar living in far-flung Agartala would have had a similar grouse.
Yes, Kejriwal received disproportionate coverage in the build up to the 2013 elections. He was the new start up, there was a buzz and excitement around him. He also had an astute media strategy and understood prime time television (his party has an unusually high proportion of journalists too in its ranks!) And then, there was the ill-fated dharna in January 2014 and suddenly the bubble was burst. 'Anarchist' Kejriwal became the most common epithet we used to describe the man, and AAP now became bad news.
And yet, the fact is, right till the end of the campaign, every prime minister rally was live but no Kejriwal speech was given similar prominence. Most exit pollsters were cautious in predicting a Kejriwal win. Some fly by night operators even suggested that the BJP was level pegging and in some cases even in the lead (I do hope these truly 'bazaroo' pollsters are held accountable). In the end, none of it mattered. AAP won an astounding 67 of 70 seats, one of the biggest victories in the history of Indian elections. The mainstream media's ambivalence to Kejriwal didn't matter.
The AAP leader had gone over our heads, effectively used social media, but most importantly, gone directly to those who really mattered: the voter! Pompous editors, noisy anchors and a corporatised media ownership had all been defeated. In a democracy, we in the media are only the surround sound: the actual power in the end rests with the real aam aadmi. As they would tell you on the streets of Delhi, Janata janardhan!

Who is biased ? 
Sardesai 
I don't care what he thinks
he's a very diplomatic guy supports Congress as his and his wives whole career has been made by Congressi's but he knows that he can't flow in opposite direction as almost all media owns by some corporates. He did cover AAP and even support them backhand whatever platform he got but not able to raise his voice because of his corporate boss.
