We are living in a time right now where Petrol is worth 70 bucks in Mumbai. When and how did it become seventy bucks. I still remember the days when petrol was just worth 50 bucks. Everything was cheaper back then. Anyways the oil companies increased prices twice in the last month. The government we selected should have done something about it, right? Something on the lines of controlling the price. When the price of petrol is increased, it leads to a domino effect where every essential commodity price also increases. Do we Indians have so much money that we can afford it?
Maybe the answer is “YES” but that money is stashed away in the Swiss Banks. There must be lakhs of crores of black money in the Swiss banks belonging to all Politicians and corrupt babus. Why hasn’t the government taken any steps retrieve it? And why are they trying to stop Baba Ramdev? He’s only asking about the black money.
Moving on, Whatever happened to the Lokpal Bill? There’s absolutely no development on that front apart from the government people in the committee trying to disrupt the talks. The govt has very good firefighters in Kapil Sibal and Digvijay Singh. If someone asks an uncomfortable question, one of these two often attack that person and try to undermine him. Good tactics, I must say!
This govt. was supposed to be the Common Man’s govt. And it is the common Man who is suffering the most. Why doesn’t Rahul Gandhi do anything about these failures of his govt.? Doesn’t he get some time away from his shenanigans to focus on something like this?
The govt. was pushed into taking action on the whole 3G spectrum case. If it wasn’t for the media who didn’t let this issue die down, A.Raja would still be roaming free and probably would still be the Telecom Minister. Same was the case with the Commonwealth games, the Adarsh society scam! If the media wasn’t adamant on getting the culprits to book, all of them would have been roaming free.
As far as the state govt. of Maharastra goes, what should I say? They have the time to pass a bill for increasing the legal drinking age to 25, but yesterday after a single pre-monsoon shower, all the street s got water logged, what did they do over the last one year?
Who is to blame in the end? It is Us, the people of India who vote for these guys who are too busy filling their own pockets than to actually work for what they have been selected. We have to change to bring about a change and the sooner we change, the better it is for the nation!
