DO AWAY WITH WISHY- WASHY APPROACH

Far from being swayed away by the hullabaloo  of  organizing 19^th. Commonwealth Games in Delhi , I am very much concerned  about the fate of the indepth enquiry as  announced by PMO to dig out the massive corruption involved in it.and to see that the culprits must not get away with impunity. Despite the great achievement made by our sportsmen and women who have excelled immensely in thisCWG the huge corruption involved into it has marred  the sporting event of this nature. That too, `744 Crore ( allotted )money for the welfare of SCs has been  diverted to conduct such a sporting extravaganza( out of a cumulative spending of  `.70,000 crores from the state exchequer).

This apart, India has been elected as a non permanent member of  UN Security Council for a period of 2 years after 1992,of course, without a voting power. In the economic front there has been a massive hike in SENSEX touching 20K mark, Gold price also rose to  `.20K in addition to it there is `1 Trillion FOREIGN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTMENT (FII) with the GDP is standing at 8-9%.These are the Shining India’s part which are being glorified by the Govt. By Contrast, the suffering India’s story has outweighed abysmally the much publicized Economic Achievement made thus far.

India stands at 62 in the GLOBAL HUMAN INDEX  where as China is at 6, The food inflation  has risen to 16.37% thereby further pushing the impoverished 836 million people to remain hungry since as per Arjun Sengupta’s report 77% people  earn   `.20/- a day. This is the state of affair today with the much vaunted and touted about LPG (Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization) adopted by the govt. since 1991

Thus the inclusive growth of our economy has become a myth . By allowing to increase the number of middle class in our country which is 35 million (the total population of USA & AUSTRALIA) and along with a handful of super-rich people who are holding 25% of the national wealth ,the govt of the day are simply duping the vast majority of the toiling and most suffering masses.. The mere lip service and rhetoric will not suffice. There needs to have a paradigm shift in declared policy implementation formulated by a few selfless honest eminent experts in their respective fields. The need of the hour is to put the best foot forward by the govt  and implement the different welfare programme to the mal/undernourished children, provide food, shelter and employment to the vast majority of  our country. In absence of giving the top priority to such programmes the power that be would simply pave the way to the violent protest by suffering masses in a befitting manner in  more often than not. This does not at all augur well for a country who is aspiring to be global Economic power to match our neighbour.
