Poverty & Power Play

Amidst much fanfare the much touted Food Security Bill is doing the rounds in the form of an ordinance.

A cursory look reveals that roughly 65% to 70% of the populace is to be covered. What a sham and a shame ?. Now that is "Garibi Hatao" for you !. Having enjoyed power to the hilt for close to five decades, how did the wisdom dawn on the Congress Party all of a sudden ?. Mired in scam after scam, (we tend to lose count), it saw the writing on the wall before the 2014 elections and so the food security bill or ordinance.

Citizens are no more fools. They well understand that manufacturing,infrastructure (roads, housing),energy,  agriculture etc are the engines for real growth. They generate jobs and enables a dignified living and not resting on freebies. Have food without a job.  This is what we call a developing economy. Where is the econimist in the PM ?. Consigned to archives !.

Please start governing instead of  sop-operas.
