In India allocation is not the issue. When the allocated funds are not used (and most often misused), there is no meaning in allocating more funds. What is required is efficient and honest implimentation of the programmes/utlisation of the funds. In an election year,more allocations should not mean more funds available for misuse. Unfortunately that is what will happen.
This News post has given a lot of statistics to show the inefficiency of the delivery mechanism. May be some one could make a study of how much money the Govt of India has spent on such programmes in the last 60 years. The picture could well be mind-boggling. Yet, we have calls just asking for more allocations and no effort towards proper utilisation of the funds. Should one be surprised?
Today people are educated, everybody knows the truth. You thought no necessity to give education for poor people. Know more about the Left government which formed before 50 years back in Kerala.
the faremers who are serving our lunch , dinner table for our food requirement whith out food you cant see or experience your so called luxurious life. 70 % population of india relates to farming only. your so called Industry, service sector though growing with 11 % it unable to provide employment to all. Farmers are facing two things at a time : he is fighting against Nature & most dangerous are politicians, corroupt beaurocrats. only waiving int. on lonans, giving packages(not reaching to beneficiearies)doest not help to poor farmers. this is the time to write off whole debt of farmers no intermediaries inbetween them. considering the fact that Indias buget is over 6 lack crores. giving farmers 35000 crores to 60000 crores is less than 10 %. for a population of 70 % i think very small amount. so i in the favour of waiving 100 % loan of Farmers.

Shankar.. You know why this clamouring for loan write-of? Most of the big loan defaulters are rich farmer politicians! They take lakhs from different co-operative banks in which they themselves will be board members. They get money, spend them on non agricultural use.This writting off, should be only for small farmers.

i dont agree with your guess or conclusion that every rich farmer is not a politician , & every politician are not farmers. some farmers are entered in the politics. there are some loop holes in the co-op sectore which needs to be strictly regulated. i agree some big farmers are mis-using co-op, system only solution is that co-op sector should be strictly regulated & supervised.

That is not as issue. The write off amount will capped to a reasonable amount.
The lefitsts will make sure that the PM and FM will not be able to take progressive steps to propel the economy at even a faster rate.
As long as the shackles are on,the FM and PM will be constrained to take bold steps.
Another important issue is--Do they have the will to take bold steps.
Chidambaram does not have the frredom enjoyed by Manmohan under P V Narasimha Rao. He was by far the best PM we had in the sixty years of independence. He assured that Punjab remained a part of India. Unfortunately, he did not know how to blow his own trumpet and made way for Sonia Gandhi toe at from a ready platter.

Left did nothing for education. The literacy is due to the schools started by churches, nothing else. How many of the state studeies in govt schools and what is the situation in those schools?

Bah.. educated Kerala..100% literate..Why there is unemployment? The employment Exchange of Kerala shows that if you register today, you will get a job after 48 years. People find no jobs there, fly to Gulf, Mumbai. Commies made this hell. 50 years ago EMS saw to it that no Mallu should live a peaceful life. What Education has gained in Kerala? Unemployment and communism! Political killings are the highest in Kerala especially in Kannur. Don't boast of education. Now even HMT is made scapegoat for giving land for IT park! What was the gain. Nook and corner of Kerala waited for that moment and some officials and many politicians did not even attend the opening, because they were not invited. Bakwas.. they did not get share as bribe. If the palms are greased properly, everythng should have been in order. Education is not the only solution. Willingness to improve the situation is the basic requirement

Is the Left just being targetted or is the Left also sincere in its fight. Tough question. Consider two issues :- 1) The Left's stand on the Nuclear deal. They fought tooth and nail, warned the Govt of serious consequences (read withdrawal of support), yet they did nothing but quietly allowed steps to be taken by the Govt. No judgement on this issue, but just an assessment on the Left's stand.
2) The recent view of the Left regarding increase in fuel prices. They warned the Govt again of serious consequences. Yet, the Govt policy did not change one bit.
May be people are giving the Left more margin than they actually deserve.
RE:When is this budget???????

Sure . Today is railway budget. Lalu is presenting it in Lok Sabha. This budget will be the policy of allocation money to different upcoming projects for Railways. New railway lines, updating the railway system, reducing railway fare, putting new railway lines to remote parts of India.This will also show how much money Railways gained from Train fare and goods transportation. Another budget for other purposes in due on 28.2. by Chitambaram. If you have still doubt, wait till eveening and watch TV.
