remembering congress forefathers-

If it was not for Jawaharlal Nehru who thought of a mixed economy, we would have been in a different situation.

If Indira Gandhi did not have the foresight of nationalising banks, what would have happened to all the private banks today? If Rajiv Gandhi had not thought of revolutionising information technology in the country, we would have been lagging far behind. The Congress has always thought of the poor, weaker sections

This success story of the past five years is important because the previous non-Congress Government ruled for nine years and had not been able to achieve anything, or record any development

Rajiv Gandhi didnot do anythig. He only enjoyed his position and destroyed the nation.

PV and Vajpayee did a lot to the nation. If ou have good heart praise them.

The governement should invest money in infrastructure projects than lowering the rates. All past efforts have just lead to banks hoarding money. the effort of these exercise should be to increase disposable income in hands of common people and not fillup coffers of the banks. The biggest culprit is ICICI who has an idot called kammat running the show. he is more intrested in creating his political future. The bank in running a ponzi fund please withdraw all your money or don't keep anything above 1lach in this bank

Moral is don't see today. See in future. ICICI is following fottsteps of Satyam. Surely.

Funny name dude. Kammat has been the Guru for all the fraudsters, wait till Anil Ambani gets caught. ICICI bank is know for exploitation in the name of career they hire young people at low salary and they in turn return to all possible means to up the numbers. On the other hand they cheat people by offering attractive schemes which turns out to be a shell once you pay up. They are true cheats. ICICI says Hum hai na which is so true there are always there to cheat you

Bankers have to pay for what they did
by mallaiah anchoori on Mar 01, 2009 10:04 PM  | Hide replies

The main reason for the private sector banks & foreign banks for proving somewhat recalcitrant to the RBI advice to reduce the lending rate is that these banks had,earlier,thoughtlessly spent preposterous amounts on infrastructure-especially for face lifts in their bid to attract deposits & in their attempts to do also had raised the deposit rates steeply in the wake of stiff competition whereby they were also forced to raise their lending rates in order to keep heir margins.Now if they are required to cut down the cost of credit,they fear a mismatch in their maturity pattern,assets & liabilities.
This cannot,however,be the sole reason since some of the private sector banks like ICICI had earlier gone for reckless increase in the pay package of its staff ardently hoping to do matching business.With melt down of economy, they are feeling suffocative for deposits on one hand & defaults by borrowers on the other owing to liquidity crunch with all most every one,of late.Further,as one of the bankers rightly felt,there is an element of fear gripping as regards the future of private sector banks while they feel confident about the govt owned public sector banks.RBI had full control over the banks' functioning when the interest rates used to be regulated by it.Some ambitious bankers,however,have been abusing the freedom accorded to them under deregulated atmosphere & now started feeling the pinch of their thoughtless actions. Recession has affected every one & more the lenders.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES BY FOLLOWING THEIR ADVICE? AFTER ALL IN PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS., IT IS THE MONEY OF THE PUBLIC

If u r sharehoder of ICICI, sell your stocks immediately.Check BSE/NSE. ICICI is 330/- and SBI is 1100/-. Delaying in selling ICICI stock may need you to go Himalayas to search lost money.

Rediff.com should take active part...
by Venu Rao on Mar 01, 2009 08:55 PM

...but unlikely as rediff.com is receiving huge ad money from ICICI. For example, rediff money has delayed comments by 30-40 minutes on request from ICICI as most of comments are against ICICI. ICICI has also recruited some ppl just for making favorable comments on forum and rebuking others who raise voice against it.

It is high time union of laon takers is need to be formed urgently. Kamath should be hanged immeditely as economic terrorist none less than Kasab.

ICICI is sucking your blood...
by Venu Rao on Mar 01, 2009 08:47 PM  | Hide replies

I have received numerous complaints from my IT friends in Pune/Mumbai that ICICI is resorting to violent means to recover EMIs for various loans. As I told u time to time, ICICI is about to break around Dec-2009 - Mar-2010 as number of defaulters increasing exponentially throughout India. Repurcssions of US economy meltdown comes late India by about 6-8 months. My sincere advise to friends is foreclose your ICICI loans at any cost as interest rate is very high (around 13.00%). Also, if possible, transfer your loan to public banks as they offer laons at 8-10% interest. If there are atrocities by bank, report it to paper like mumbai/pune dailys. I have never seen such a badmash bank in my entire life. They are first-rate cheaters. Very bad for long-term investors and loan-takers. Govt of India is doing nothing. This is very serious. Also, if possible spread this message to all your friends through all possible communication channels(emails,blogs,forums). Find out is it possible to form union of loan takers to this issue to the highest level.
