No system which so totally centralised and controlled by downright corrupt and self serving politicians can ever work for the benefit of the Nation oe common man.It will work only for a few.It is imperative that all development planning, execution and control is done from bottom-up and not top-down as is the case at present where noy mote then 10-15% of the total allocation reaches the bottom, the rest being siphoned off from the pipeline.This excessive lust for power and wealth displayed by most politicians is the real bane and cause of the gross mismanagement of the country as a whole. The priorities are all lopsided and non-productivity is encouraged and rewarded in the form of generosity and largesse to the bureaucracy and fellow politicians who all believe in living a moghul life-style without any responsibility or accountability. The entire focus is on grabbing power and wealth through hook or crook and let the nation go to hell.We seriously need to re-think and restructure our presently disastrous socio-economic and political system along with the executive and the judiciary which is nothing but a colonial legacy. Let us genuinely free ourselves from this past legacy and design veritably a new equitable and people friendly structure for their and strengthen the nation.It may require a revolution peaceful or violent otherwise this country will continue to suffer and people will become helpless spectators.
