Present political scenario in Rahul’s favour
DEBATE (1)
Present political scenario is leaning on Congress after BJP Government led by Narendra Modi retreated from its pledge to provide employment to the common man and realise ‘golden days’ (achhe din). We can expect changes in the political landscape in 2019 Lok Sabha elections. I think Rahul Gandhi is expected to realize his political ambition to rule the country.

As of now, there is no comparison with Hon’ble PM Mr. Modi

Relief in Finance Ministry style
I don’t remember a single budget since 1968 which did not provide “relief” to the tax payers or the poor, farmer, labourer, women, salaried class and dozens of such categories, we may call them neo-casteism. While the exchequer had suffered loss of revenue, the beneficiaries are no better as a class (different from the individual). How long will such British Raj techniques of revenue generation continue to afflict the nation? On the one hand we want to turn fast into an economic superpower, on the other hand we discourage development and investment. What defined “luxury” some 60 years ago in India was illustrated by the roti, whether it was chupdi or rukhi (buttered bread or dry bread). Today it needs to be re-defined on the basis of consumption of technology: how much do we consume by way of heathcare, education or gadgets, which constitute “essential” for growth and proper development of a child and not “luxury” as the tax experts are quick to label. A visit to a government school, hospital or professional institution would reveal in no time new poverty in India, the new haves & have nots, the new privileged class and disadvantaged people. Unless the finance ministry starts thinking “socialist” or Dharma and stop levying luxury tax on goods that generate high income jobs, consumption of high technology and accelerated growth, we will be getting only relief in every budget. Having travelled 50 years or so with relief in the prices of post card to paanmasaalaa, our relief providers must be tired and need some rest. Let the country march on a fast track before we are reduced to a digital colony. You can’t access DD or RS TV or LS TV direct without going through YT/FB/Twitter etc. when transmission is disrupted due to bad weather in Delhi in the middle of the reply of the Prime Minister to the debate on the motion of thanks to the President. Is that a luxury to ask for?
