Looking Mayawati In The Eye

The Finance Bill is up for vote today. I had called this "The Monster's Budget" and urged the citizenry to rally their representatives to defeat this Bill - and "bring Chacha down." I had later asserted that Chacha Manmohan S Gandhi was India's "gravest threat" - to our financial security.

News has it that Chacha may survive. It seems the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), with its 21 MPs, will side with Chacha, as will the Samajwadi Party (SP) of Mulayam Singh Yadav. The BSP is a pro-Dalit party led by Mayawati, who is now chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. Mulayam was UP chief minister earlier. These rivals from Chuttar Pradesh are going to keep Chacha in power, messing up the whole of India's prospects forever.

Yet, the Opposition has brought much of the country to a standstill with protests over inflation. Inflation hurts Dalits the most - because they mainly earn daily wages. It is shocking that a pro-Dalit outfit should support an inflationist like Chacha and his Finance Bill.

It becomes obvious that Mayawati, like Mulayam, is interested in the budget outlays for Uttar Pradesh - all based on inflationary finance. Her huge collection of "disproportionate assets" comes from this inflationary finance. She is thus an accomplice of inflationism too - and therefore an enemy of Dalits.

How is the daily-wager the worst affected by inflationism?

When increased quantities of money enter the system, the price of everything he survives on rises although his earnings remain the same. As a result, the daily-wager's consumption keeps falling in inflationary times. There are other classes of people who lose under inflation - pensioners, fixed-income earners, creditors, but none lose so much as the daily-wage earner, who is mainly Dalit.

Meanwhile, those who get to spend the newly-printed government paper money first - like Chacha, Mayawati and Mulayam - buy up everything at current prices. They do not lose; they gain. There are gainers too in inflation, which is why it continues. Agents of the Total Chacha State are permanent gainers in permanent inflation.

The news report on Mayawati says she is supporting the inflationist Chacha government because they have promised to keep the CBI off her back in the disproportionate assets case. This is corruption heaped upon corruption. Both Chacha and Mayawati are corrupt. Period.

Mayawati's BSP is voting against the true economic interests of all Dalits.

Down with inflationism!

Down with Chacha!

Down with Mayawati too!
