HON’BLE FINANCE MINISTER – AN AMAZING COMBINATION OF SUPERLATIVE FINANCIAL SENSE AND POLITICAL NONSENSE
It is an unquestionable fact that our Honourable Minister of Finance, Govt. of India, is a financial wizard in its widest of definitions. But unfortunately his Political immaturity puts his financial wizardry to shame.
In a very recent example, he delivered a speech during his campaign for the Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, wherein he stated that it is definitely financially possible to give Rice at Rs. 2/- per kilogram in the Ration Shops and free Colour Television to every family in Tamil Nadu.
A veteran parliamentarian rightly asked as to why then the Hon’ble Finance Minister not distribute free Colour Television to every family in the country. Here I would like to add another question that if it is viable for the Indian Government to sell rice at Rs. 2/- per kg then does it mean that all these years the Indian Government have been making profits by selling rice at a higher price.
It is a shame for Indian Democracy that even after more than 50 years of its existence we neither have matured politicians who talk about guiding the country to a bright future during their election campaign nor have matured voters who would declare to these politicians that they are no longer kids to be happy with Colour TVs and lollypops and instead look forward to electing a leader who can create avenues for the voters to participate in the development of the country and proudly EARN their decent living.

Our FM usually opposes all the free stuffs. Its all the compulsion of their alliance. Soozhnilai kaidhi. Even he opposes free electricity to Farmers.
As u said, if its possible, why can't they do it now.

Rightly said. Everybody (educated) well the financial status of our state.
During the reign , the ruling party blames the opposition party (previously ruling) for emptying the 'kazana'. How come the same 'kazana' is full during the election time???

Hari,
Hmm..i see you've indeed posted your thoughts on this one. Question: Why do you think the vast majority of Indians are deliberately kept below the poverty line? Answer: Coz announcing freebies to them at the time of elections and getting voted to power is the only raison d'etre of our politicians!
God save India!
