  1. These four problems are as old as the state and Bharat Mata ki Jai gimmick is of recent origin.Gimmicks have to be of the trends of the day to pull crowds and keep problems at bay. Apart from the problems of which the CM is fully aware, he has the additional responsibility to retain his chair firm. The responsibility will be easily fulfilled if wide publicity is made through the gimmick of the day together with passionate words on the epithet from the mouth. If only a leader of India would spare time to utter "Bharat Mata ki jai" from the heart true to his/her conscience, he will find time and means to address the problems through viable solutions which could really benefit the land and incite beneficiaries such as farmers, children, women to join the chorus.
