In the year 2012, the former banker Meera Sanyal during a visit to Gujarat, particularly the rural areas, seemed quite impressed with the work done by the locals and the government.

In her blog, Sanyal had mentioned about people in rural Gujarat being well aware about the importance of education and how the kids including girls were encouraged to study. She particularly, was quite impressed with the empowerment of women in most rural areas of the state.

Meera had affirmed back in 2012, that each region in the state had 24×7 uninterrupted power supply owing to the ‘Jyoti Gram Yojna’ and had also appreciated the discipline of charging electricity for both agricultural use and domestic consumption instead of doling out freebie culture.
The former banker, however, had pointed out certain issues that needed attention like cleanliness of the villages, use of solar energy and weather insurance for the farmers. But she had clearly mentioned that Gujarat has achieved areas of success which the rest of country can emulate.
{@meerasanyal ** Every village in Gujarat has 24x7 power courtesy Jyoti Gram Yojna. Solar not visible. Some villages have gas, but many still use firewood..........2:15 PM - 20 Mar 2012
@meerasanyal ** @saltandpepper yes effective market linkages are key. V good initiative by Gujarat govt to create farmers mkt in Ahmedabad ....12:12 AM - 26 Mar 2012 }
Interestingly, just days after Sanyal’s visit and her recommendation of escalating use of solar energy, in April 2012, Gujarat Chief Minister had dedicated Asia’s largest solar park to the nation.
INDIA HONEST has observed how Kejriwal planned and focused his "Modi Opposing Election Campaign 2014" only; by presenting false allegation on the performance of Modi as regards to development in Gujarat, while narrating sometimes as if the rural and urban Gujarat is worst off than a naxal dominated village in Chattisgarh,with no water,no electricity, no roads etc etc.
While Aam Aadmi Party chief "Honest" Arvind Kejriwal has tried hard to debunk the development story in Gujarat during his ongoing self-audit tour of the state, even he has said that villages in Gujarat don’t get electricity, but the March 2012 blog and tweets of AAP candidate and banker Meera Sanyal exposed the duplicity of AAP and crooked cheating by Kejriwal, who has been indulged solely in maligning Modi , just because he wants to oppose him in politics.
The banker lady has been put to awkward position, as once said the true picture of Gujarat, she is embarrassed to negate that out rightly, but she has to, to be in line with her party chief a bluff master, a naked liar Arvind Kejriwal. And she retorted saying that she (CHANGED VERSION, AN AAP KAJRIWAL EFFECT ) had praised the people of Gujarat and not the government or Chief Minister Narendra Modi........a laughing proposition separating the people from Modi..
INDIA HONEST wonders on the repeated attacks and even today's slapping of Kejriwal , as if it is meant to remind the honest Arvind Kejriwal that how much people of India now distrust and hate the changed or exposed face of a liar Arvind, who can twist hundred truth for his ambition of power in politics and election.
ADDED ON 8th MARCH 2014 : WHAT DOES THESE REPEATED SLAPS ON KAJRIWAL BY ANGERED DELHITE / AUTO DRIWER SHOWS ? IF THE COMMON AAM ADMI DEEPLY HURT BY THE BETRAYAL BY AAP ? AUSUTOSH COMMENTED THAT BECAUSE HE (KAJRIWAL) IS HONEST; SO THE DISHONEST COMMONMEN ATTACKING HIM :) :)..
