Parliament impossible

It is full of culprits, thiefs and criminals, rapists, money launderers.

They are uneducated, good for nothing opportunist people. They had taken the place of earlier intellectual, educated people, who thought for the country.

For the sake of the country, we need to reorganise everything.

agree. finest laws he mentioned not made by modern generation parliamentarians but by early parliamentarians and judge made laws percolating from Privy councils... true our parliament lost its touch of parliamentary language but uses all kinds of slangs and gesticulations and if you see state legislatures in the past two or three decades, you will be shocked, and you will commit suicide!

It is because of the middle class with out the reservation privilege , to a great extent ,India has achieved the economic success . The parliament on the other hand has really bought us down to lower level of success . The parliament has played a very bad negative role for that matter the whole so called elected netas as there are no more leaders in true sense

Still there is hope

Q48: How to raise India GDP growth to double digit irrespective of unruly scenes we see daily in our Parliament?

A48: Telecom sector alone is contributing 1.5-2% raise in annual GDP growth. Many perennial bottlenecks namely electricity deficit, long pending cases in courts, poor index towards ease in doing business, complexity in our systems & procedures, infrastructure deficit etc are holding back around 1 to 1.5 % each in GDP growth rate. Their cumulative impact is of the order of 5 to 7 %. Adding this value to the existing GDP will make it growing double digit to minimum around 12 %. Our Government is in over drive mood to achieve it.

While others are busy in criticizing Government & UPA–II, we want to cross the point of inflection amidst mist of criticism to cross all hurdles. Just wait & see the amount of changes happening all around and will be happening at double the speed in next two decades.

Reality Check: Point of inflection has already reached and certain complex messy issues have circumvented the Government & UPA-II leaving with their leaders little energy and attention for other priority stuffs like the above narrated deficits.

author aakar patel is wrong
by shilpy on May 13, 2012 07:49 AM

for him to say indian parliament is a better institution than the indian people deserve is so wrong as to hold him in contempt of common decency. he is trying to throw cold water on ramdev ji baba and anna hazare's whole movement against a parliament of the corrupt and criminals which we all feel is the real problem for india's poverty.

we don't care if m.p. can't debate like scholars; we don't care if they behave like tribesmen. what we care about is honesty, vision and purposefulness. a pm modi will do immensely well.

Article drives home the point clearly, and people posting

here can learn something on how to converse rather taking sides like our rogue politicians in parliament. Only a total renaissance is needed.
