Narendra Modi "stole" Chai pe charcha concept from Anhad, claims senior activist Shabnam Hashmi

By A Representative
Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi's "Chai pe charcha", which began in Gujarat towns on February 12 evening, has made national headlines. It seeks to counter Congress propaganda, which had sought, at one point, to ridicule that Modi, during his youth, worked as a boy selling tea at a tea stall.
However, a prominent anti-Modi campaigner Shabnam Hashmi has created a stir in the social media by claiming that the BJP's prime ministerial aspirant "stole" the idea floated by the voluntary organisation she heads, Anhad, bout 14 months back. Ahnad had organised a "Chai pe charcha" in Ahmedabad with Tushar Gandhi.
"The video below is of Anhad's programme with Tushar Gandhi in December 2012 ,discussion at various chai ki ketlis in Ahmadabad. The difference of course is by the time we reached the third chai ki ketli RSS sent people to heckle us which of course won't happen with Modi", she said in a statement.

Hashmi has forwarded the following Youtube video to prove herself:

IMF's policies 'stabilise' external creditors' balance sheets, 'generate' crisis in Africa

By Grieve Chelwa, Vijay Prashad Across Africa, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) presents itself as the custodian of macroeconomic stability. Its latest Article IV staff reports on Ethiopia . Malawi , Nigeria , South Africa , and Zambia are written for economies with very different histories and institutions. Yet they converge on a familiar prescription: fiscal consolidation, tighter monetary policy, market-determined exchange rates, subsidy reform, deregulation and ‘private-sector-led growth’. No serious economist can dismiss macroeconomic stability.
