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.
The amount of negative propaganda that was carried against previous government and earlier ones has resulted in a lot many young and not so young persons fall to it. For them India has not achieved anything till date and real progress will only start now. Scams have been wonderfully exploited, but hat is politics.
The problem with Congress government has been a fractured growth, UPA 1 was good UPA 2 was scam ridden which wiped all the good performance of what was done during the first tenure... Before that Rajeev Gandhi spoke abt leaping to 21st century only to fall flat with mother of all scams , Bofors which I am sure Congress wants to sweep under the carpet, but noone can forget it. The real growth happened only when P Narasimha Rao teamed up with Manmohan Singh and opene4d up the economy, but of course his name is never mentioned ...No wonder people hardly remember the so called good governance of Congress except party workers and party loyalists. Their 10 year rule has been indifferent and the only good thing was that there was no negative growth like it happened with Bihar under Lalu !
