Whats going on?

When I read news articles all I can see is stupid policy making.
For example, the agricultural minister Sharad Pawar acts in such a way that he increases supply mismatch resulting in price increases. Then he will step in with a retrograde scheme to bring the prices down! So smart politically but suicidal to the economy. Well why will he care
Then, the Congress-NCP government imposes a rule that you need to read/write marathi and have lived in mumbai for 15 years to get a taxi license. For heaven's sake we are talking of being a taxi driver! Not a defense head of the country. We live in a country where a person not born in India can become the prime minister but the same person wont be able to drive a taxi. Does this make sense? What are the policy makers trying to do? Simply political gain. Screw all the poor people emigrating to Mumbai trying to survive.

In AP, the growing nonsensical handling of Telengana. Give it or don't give it make a decision Damn it! If you give a separate state make sure the rest of the state is appropriately supported for creating a new capital. If you intend not to give it, provide telengana region with an increased funding for sometime to improve it. Just don't drag it on forever and disturb lives of common people who really don't care.

All these above issues are simply because of the spineless behavior on the part of the Congress. But guess what I dont see how there will be any change. There is no viable political alternative. Forget about alternative, I don't even see somebody standing up against these stupid policies. All political parties are acting in a way that is outright disgusting.

I think it too optimistic to expect sensible behavior on the part of these power mongers.

Lets wait and see!
