Shameful governance

Liberhan report has leaked out and no prizes for guessing the culprit behind this leak. It is definitely the ruling party which is trying to use this mileage at a time when it was cornered for Koda case, 1 yr of 26/11 attacks and the price rise. The real issues have been back tracked for an issue which has absolutely no relevance. The country is going through one of its worst crisis ever and the biggest apathy is that we have all turned a blind eye to all of this. The discussions in the parliament were on this report rather than being on the more important issues for the country.
.

Food inflation is something that is killing the middle class and the lower class and is creating a serious hole in our pockets, one can argue that this is a global phenomenon but there are governments that have tackled all of this in a much better manner. Commodity markets need to be tracked and regulated and black marketing which has been regularly seen has to be shot down. The government has done absolutely nothing to stop the food inflation and all it has done is to blame it on the global price rise, it could have well tackled it by increasing the interest rates, but then who would feed their greedy tummies in case the industry slows down temporarily due to increasing rates. This is the most important issue for the government but as usual our incapable government is just sitting back as the opposition is disintegrating and the government is enjoying it.



When Mumbai was attacked last year it was presumed that the action from India’s side would be stern and swift as India’s elite was attacked, around the same time a blast in Assam took 100 lives and no one talks about it but anyways even for an attack that the media still covers every day and we have weeklies dedicating one issue to remember that dreadful day we have not done anything and nothing is in the pipeline for something to happen and the perpetrators are prosecuted. Indian PM travels to US and the US commits nothing as there is no solid will to resolve this issue. Pakistan has to be cornered militarily as well as economically and we have to twist the arms of US and the rest of the world in case we ever want to do this. If this country can afford a KODA it can also afford to live without external help and assistance of the west in our economic development. This is a demon that we need to kill now. The west needs us for their economic survivals and we need to capitalize it right now, China uses it and Its difficult to understand why we can not.
