In middle age, the proverb was 'wrinong kritya, grhitang pibet' means borrow to eat ghee. This govt. is borrowing heavily to eat today and financial and revenue deficit going through roof. The ultimate beneficiaries are govt employees with a hefty pay increase, politicians who get a percentage on all govt. expenditure and wealthy farmers who did not have to pay bank loans. For common man and private sector employees, they are loosing jobs, prices of everything going up. If the per capita income has gone up so much, why, as per recent survey, 70% Indians earn less than 2 dollars, i.e.Rs.90 a day? Let govt. increase BPL level from Rs.450 at present to at least a reasonable Rs.1500 per month to assess the actual no of people below poverty level instead of artificially keeping it at a pathetic level. If calculation of per capita income of Mukesh Ambani and 100 more people are made, every person will be a billionare. God save the country.
What is this Budget is all about. This shows how careless this cong Gvt is. They want the common man to remain common or poor and the rich would get richer and we will have scores of Ramalingam's floating around the country fooling the public as well as their monies.God bless this country. In this time of economic crisis, it would be prudent to prop up the economy than spending crores of rupees on welfare schemes. We do need welfare schemes. However, the need of the hour is measures that would make the economy stronger. Pranab has not thought on this aspect at all. Bad budget.

Even the CNN reported that it was a Hindu that was killed by a Christian mob.

Media is more obsessed with Mangalore pub attacks and Valetine's day, dubbing anyone oppposed to this morbid depreciation of social values as "Saffron Taliban". They want to do more business. They are not worried about the millions of aborted female foetuses, gender violence against women and women's health and education.As I have said in one of my earlier posts, I look after the education of some poor girls in Trichy, where I live. If one individual like me can do this much, people who organise "pub-bharo" and "chaddi chalo" can do that much useful things. S.Suresh sivaramsuresh@rediffmail.com

I wish we all could share your opinion.. however, we just do not.
Congress has ruined India and continues to do so. WHY? There is a clear need to define many points for India to grow strong. However, none have been defined as yet. Do you know who is Aam Admi? What is secularism? What is Bharat Nirman?
Gosh slogans slogans and more slogans that is what Congress is all about, Deliverance of good governance is beyond congress and its cronies. Think about Mulayam and Laloo.. what are they doing int he cabinet? They are criminals aren't they...

Congress is the worst government. It is in the hands of this Indian public to get them out of improper governance. The Rice rate has gone up to Rs. 35/- and Petrol is still very high as compared to the reduction of crude oil at global level.
It is in the hands of this public to get out of this useless and shameless Congress in the next elections.
Re: Job well done
by Abdul Jabbaar on Feb 16, 2009 12:57 PM
Is rice selling at 35 and 40 good result ? Is petrol selling at 50 and 60 good result ? You must be out of your mind.. Besides, all these happened before recession. God Save India if these dynasy lic*ers come to power again.
