The new government has announced upward revision in Railway passenger fares by 14.2% and freight charges by 6.5%. Were not they who protested the loudest when UPA would increase prices. How roles change. Only the public gets same treatment. soon there will be rise in petrol and diesel prices. Onions are likely to touch Rs 100 per kg in October as per TOI report yesterday. Good prices are coming !

It is convenintly forgoten that Congress and BJP both follow same economic and fiscal policies. With change in ruling party, nothing changes as such. Just partis change position. There will be same acts and same reactions. Just roles have changed.


It is not proper to say that earlier governments spoiled the economy. After all today on PPP ie Purchase Price Parity India is the third largest economy in the world ,after USA and China. Is this possible if government policies were faulty and other adjectives that are being liberally used. Economics follows its own laws irrespective of who is in power. For the very same reasons prices are being increased today, the BJP used to protest and stall Parliament. So nothing has changed only the parties have changed position.


Mother of all Financial scams that lead to collapse of the economic condition happened in UPA regime. 2 G scam to coalgate scams are just a few to name.


We condemn scams but acievements of previous govts are not to be ignored. There will be no scam when there is no achievement. The 2g scam also is linked to the telecom revolution. Now every one has mobile phone. The scam in common wealth game is also acompanid by world class sports facilities in the capital. Moreover, whatever infrastructure- Railways, Dams, roads, computer, roads- we see, we owe to good leadership and work by Congress. When the first P.M. was working for development of infrastructure and development, electricity, the opposition were fooling the general public. One opposition leader said in an election speech- The water for irrigation is not pure and strong. The Congress government has extracted eenergy (electricity) from tthe water and so you are getting only 'separata' for irrigation.


Certainly there are achievements. Unfortunately they are outnumbered by scams.


Scams only show achievements. You can't indulge in corruption unless you achieve somethingh. Most of the scams have been in telecom sector. First name that comes to mind is of sukh Ram. Maximum achievement and progress has also been in telecom sector.

Incidentally, no scam is reported so far in 3G. Is this because there has been no progress in 3G technology?


Mother of all scams is Bofors. What we achieved by that ?


Was there anything wrong in BOFORS. Definitely we got good equipment for defence services though many earned by way of commission. Now if you remeber BJP government led by Vajpayee, there was scam even in buying coffins for the dead soldiers. We should remember that basically Congress and BJp are no different. several BJP ministers includin Uma Bharati are involved in many scams that occured in state governments under BJP rule. While comparing congress and BJP, assumption that congress is all satanic and BJP all divine needs be shunned. BJP has been bettr in publicity or propqaganda and have been able to hoodwink people for some time. Nothing more nothing less.


BJP used BOFORS guns purchased by Congress to win Kargil back from Pakistanis. Courts have acquitted Rajiv Gandhi of alleged corruption charges. Bofors was milked by BJP before every election. In between they would lie silent and did not pursue the matter when they were in power. Yes they have far better propaganda machinery and are good at negative publicity .

Punish the guilty. We seem to spend all our time crying for the 5% scam money rather than enjoying the contribution of the 95%.


Yes. that is not far off Guilty will be punished along with the collaborators and protectors of the guilty. By what calculation the scams are mere 5%?


This could be ratio or the scam earning to total value or benefit of project.


Benefit projected. Not real benefit useful for the common man,


It is estimated by many studies that generally the amount siphoned from projects averages around 5%. It could be more in some cases. Even if amount looks low it should not be siphoned off and scamsters should be punished. But the attention given to it is disproportionate.

Acqittal of Rajiv ? YS jagan Mohan Reddy is also acquitted who had swallowed 100 times more than Rajiv. And now he's the opposition party leader in AP assembly.
Bofor Guns were bought for the nation with peoples money and for the protection of the nation so whether it is used under Congress rule or BJP rule it does not make any difference , here what matters is the manner in which all scamsters ( Quotrocchi) involved were given an opportunity to get away because they were all close associiates of Nehru/Gandhi family. Propaganda wise Congress wins anytime, the way they go on and on about Modi and Maut ka saudagar etc etc, no wonder people saw through all that and decided to kick them and the lady behind the slogan out ...

Propoganda does not win votes, it is real work in motion which people see and feel gives votes and about corruption I think these are not issues, people want development and if it is done near to them it is ok for them.
Development should be visible and be available to to all the people in the country. Mere cooked up figures created by secretaries is not development. The new government is both sincere and innovative under the able leadership of Modi who had made a niche for himself through his developmental work in Gujrat.
Modi believes in work culture instead of false propaganda and he is engaged with his work to build a stronger nation.
India has suffered a lot due to wrong work culture which involves, "What is there for me?". Modi wants to put an end to This trait in the work culture
Prices hike is essential fro developing country.
But it should divided among all people not only middle class people.
Because we know the maximum subsidy goes to the industrialist and corporate ( the amount come from Middle class people Give that Tax), and rest money goes to the below poverty line people.
But we are the only sufferer.
I am now sure no Government is bother about bring black money and Narendra Modi giving sufficient time to move their money from swiss banks by not taking immediate action.

I don't think so. What Modi is going to get by this action? It seems a baseless allegation.

Why shd he even make an effort to bring back black money since everyone would know the figures and also where will they send the money ? any idea? some other safe haven like the Cayman islands or Dubai ? But it leaves a trail from Swiss banks ...If they withdraw it also it will not be easy since again there will be some formality that gets recorded.By the way Swiss banks have their own code of conduct and although money can be kept there, there are regular records maintained ...
After construction of SIT, it is hopeful for speedy process about black money as India wish to know names of persons who have black money.

I believe lot of black money comes back from Mauritius investment route - allegedly a deliberate loophole. Havala routes are used both ways to transact in black money. Availability of black money within the country also is one of the reason why prices do not come down in spite of economic measures taken by RBI and Govt.
It's an undeniable fact that Availability of Black money is a major contributor for the spiraling prices. As long as Black money is there, all other measures are an exercise in futility.

Black money is generated by the rich to avoid taxes and accounting for illegal profits. Hawala route is also used by common NRI's to transfer funds into India as itv is fast. leaves no trail and many times the exchange rate is higher than official rate. I feel it will be difficult to stop generation of black money. We are after BM abroad because we know where it is parked, but many times more is circulating in the country which no one is after. prices will continue to be impacted by BM esp real estate.

True. But there is nothing wrong in trying to contain BM, though not to eradicating it totally.

Including myself I have seen many times given an option to pay against a bill and pay taxes or pay without bill and save taxes.everyone chooses the latter and expect govt to control BM.

Yes. Human nature is always drawn towards unhealthy practices.
