I find so few articles lamenting the state of affairs under the UPA rule. The economy has posted a very low growth rate this quarter. The growth rate has been successively reducing for the last 7-8 quarters. Well, that does not attract any attention. Moreover, it seems like it is not important.The growth rate of the economy does not influence people right. Whenever an economy slows down the most affected are the poor people. Their windows of oportunity to escape poverty are dashed.
The recent court directive on interlinking of rivers has attracted criticism. I mean is that greatest problem affetcing India now. The wonderful and faulty schemes such as NREGA, Right to Education and Right to Food are draining the economy so poorly. but well who cares, we dont comment or even discuss such stuff. The number of lost opportuntiies for people is not an issue. What I can't understand is how can you see people affected in a one time event versus a daily event. I agree if say a dam is built people and environment is affected. But at the same time the policies of this government are affecting the whole country. This I guess isn't the sexiest thing you can write on your facebook status. Man i get bummed at such ridiculous and skewed comparisons of reality.
On top of that I see huge articles on how Narendra Modi should not be the next PM candidate. Really, has BJP announced Modi to be the PM candidate? I personally believe Modi should not even consider being the candidate. For his role in godhra riots he should not even be a politician, but thats life for you. he wins his elections and BJP does not have an option but to be with him in Gujarat. But give me a break, you have no issues with Rahul gandhi being the next PM candidate. I dont see 2 page editorials on why Rahul Gandhi should not be the PM. We are ok with Rahul Gandhi being the pm because he has "Gandhi" at the end. Talk about hypocrisy... Anyway..
