Manmohan Should Quit

The prime minister has concluded his meeting with the G-8. There, he talked some climate change stuff and some nuclear deal stuff.

Both these are stuff-and-nonsense.

In India we waste fossil fuels – on bad roads.

Read this lament on Mumbai’s roads – India’s wealthiest city.

Then think of how much fuel we waste throughout India.

The waste is surely enormous.

If our planners did some “cost-benefit analysis” they would definitely find that good roads would deliver far more benefits than they would cost.

But they want to teach!

(They want to teach “cost-benefit analysis”!)

They think they are smart – and that the people are stupid: that these stupid people need some “knowledge” from them.

Actually, as our cities, towns and roads prove, the planners are the ones whose brains need medical examination.

The people are smart: they can sing and dance (just watch TV) but nightlife is banned throughout India.

They can make exotic alcoholic drinks like feni, urak, mahua, handia, apong, toddy and so many more – but these are banned.

These smart people of India need Liberty, not State education – all ugly propaganda, harmful for the mind.

While Manmohan pyarey, the Greatest Planner of All Time, jets about meeting foreign politicians, talking about lowering emissions and generating nuclear fuel, our embassy gets bombed in Kabul.

This is the condition of our “foreign policy”.

But what about conditions at home?

Should the government try and fix the godalmightymesscalledindia or what?

There is a news report today from the capital of socialist India, New Delhi, the capital city of Manmohan’s government: An incense seller’s little son is mowed down on the road. He doesn’t get justice for over 9 months. The cops want money; he is poor. He and his family therefore start begging outside the courts and then send this money to the police commissioner!

I am therefore inclined to accept the crux of Harsh V Pant’s column: “Dr. Singh, Lead or Leave”.

Indeed, every idea of this man has been wrong-headed – from the “education cess” to the “rural employment scheme” to everything else.

In reality, the man just sat back and let Indian crumble.

He should quit.
