Will the UPA survive?
by bkchatterjee on Jul 12, 2008 05:47 AM

It may or may not. The biggest challenge is to explain the issue how this deal is going to benefit the "AAm aadmi" in the medium term (say 10 years). If it goes through it will generate big trade and boost the bottom line of big companies. That's fine, but Government (rather PM) should come out with an article in the National press and arguing how this will ameliorate the lives of some 700 million plus citizens who are leading a life below the poverty line. Will it give more power to the nation,by what percentage Power cuts will be reduced etc. etc. To some extent it has to have some concrete plausible figures. Mere qualitative statements are fine to hood wink public but without a quantitative analysis Lord Kelvin (the famous scientist) would have said that your knowledge in this respect is either meagre or you do not anything about it.
