Sanjay Jha
Sanjay is a “former” banker , and thus would like to clarify that he has nothing to do with the current global financial crisis. And even at ANZ Grindlays and Bank of America he was the innocuous retail man , with no big expense accounts like his smarter colleagues , who only understood swaps and year-end bonuses. At Alliance Capital and ITC Threadneedle, he was part of the mutual fund industry, but did more investor education than sales. Jha started his career selling oil and gas, but soon ran out of steam in Bharat Petroleum , when he found some MBA sort moving around with a big halo of hubris. So he enrolled in XLRI and survived it’s grind, dust and endless masala omelets to join the business school gang.
Sanjay wanted to do a Phd in Economics, but a B+ in his Masters’ at Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics ensured that the Dr title would elude him permanently, as he had no interest in alternative medicine either. Thanks to some loose purse-strings of some risk-prone guys, he joined the crazy bandwagon of dot com kind ( wearing khaki pants and a light blue shirt) and started CricketNext.Com. The site rocks. He then pursued his big passion for people-development in the areas of training, leadership, media, change management, HR, strategy etc through being part of the Dale Carnegie Training India team.
Sanjay believes that we in India need to get engaged with politics beyond the superficial level. The TV studio is becoming far too powerful, and the politicians are to blame for losing touch with those who really matter; not the anchors, but the simple chap in a tea-shop looking for a job and a safe walk home. Despite the several challenges they face, Jha believes the Congress is best poised to take India fast-forward into the future.

I’ve read in your about section that there are 101 reasons why one should not vot for BJP. Dear friend I tell you that there are 1001 reasons why one should not vote for Congress.
Since you have not enlisted the reasons, I am also skipping. One you enlist the reasons, I’ll start sending you my reasons.
D/R sir , the achivement of indian people that they got a family who gave their bood for the sake of the nation , that is gandhi famili. Hou has personal vote in india is 15/ ,There is no party in indian politice
can compare with gongress .so i am proud about cong and olso cast my vote for cong .The nation got every thing by the help of the The family from the date of freedom. In west bengal where is on great leader like cader lover , but cong got 15/ vote by the donation of The said family.BJP is not a party but communallike RDX.
Please check out http://www.congress.org.in/, in the header it says congress ruled states. This tag reminds me of the British Raj, I read few of your articles and find your arguments to be logical, I am unbiased and vote for the person who can best serve regardless of the party he is from. It can be Congress Served states instead, I have brought their attention to this but nothing seems to have changed. If they have such a mentality the they do not deserve to be at the center.
Dear Sanjay
been an active reader of your comments here and also on IBNLIVE , always agreed to your point of view about the indian politics . I subscribe to your view of congress being the best option among all others today .
The best party to have a comprehensive insight into how the representation needs to be given to all sections of the country not leaving out any is a example for all other party’s to follow.
Unfortunately what used to be a big strength earlier is a major weakness for the party today !!!!, i am sure they should be able to come out of it soon .
I am from bangalore , and this election predictas have missed a major change in the poll fever in karnataka , BJP had earlier 18 seats , is likely to fall to 12-13 kind in just about an year of their Misrule !!!!!!!. A little more smarter decisions on candidates , congress would have won close to 17 seats , they missed the opportunity. There has been a massive OBC consolidation like the KHAM formula of Gujarat earlier , karnataka has its own AHINDA ,meaning Alpasankhyat (Minorities) , Hindulidava (OBC) , DAlit factor will be the key factors in these results.

Would like to
Prosparity in backward comunities in karnataka have made them blind to the historical facts. Their forefathers were treated badly and they did not have right to enter the temple. This was because Hindutva did not treat all hindus equal. This equality and equal rights to boys & girls we enjoy now is because of the laws enacted by the first congress govt. Earlier generation could get cheap education because education was subsidied by early congress Govt. Because of this many poor from all cast benefited. Land reforms benefited to poors then are now rich. Even recently RTI act is instrumental in reducing corruption. There are thousands of reasons why we should vote congress. Neorich backward class people in Karnataka are worried that Hindus are in danger because of the brainwashing done by Hindu organisation. They consider themself BRAHMINS. They do not know that there is no upgradation system in Hindus. I wonder why people are not able to analyse their difficut past and able to think how their family benefited by Govt policies earlier.
Congratulations , As UPA has made Govt. this time also.
Congratulations on a stupendous victory. I read the Congress manifesto to see what is in store in terms of reforms. I strongly believe that it was the reforms of the past decade which has generated the limited means which today finance NREGA and the loan waivers . If we need to see growth ,reforms need to be jump started ( they were practically stalled during the past five years- maybe because of the left) . With that impediment out of the way the UPA should forge ahead. So it was really disappointing to see that the manifesto completely silent about economic reforms. Perhaps I have missed it . Would you have any information on what exactly the economic development/reforms/ opening up the economy plans are.
Mr. Jha,
This is not done…I thought it is a forum…..
