Dear Mahanty you sre true, our politicians are patting their back for raising the old age penisionfrom rs.50 to rs.200, and shame on these politicians when they know that some of them wards require rs.500 note for snorting the herione, how come this rs.200 will serve a poor old man, where in that age he requires more care, and when asked for increase these same shameless politicians says that there is financial crunch, when all these happens , than a missile and gslv failure costing this much big amount is really a shame on india,indians in general and the shameless politicians and sceintists involved in these missions in particular, hereafter these type of big unsuccesfull projects should be stopped. First the hunger of poor has to be satisfied and then only this type of fancy thaughts shuold be think. If govt is so ken on this, then it should allow the private companies to do this. Atleast the govt should realize and stop the fancy unralistic projects from,kasturi,kumarswamy and so on who sit in aircondition labs with unbudgeted money of tax payers
