I appreciate Mr Shenoy's bold article. In order to save his minority Congress govt, Narasimha Rao allocated Local Area Development fund of Rs.2 crore per MP (for MLAs by then respective state govts)per annum. This amount was given to them as a bribe to keep his govt complete his term in office. No one is spending for local development and only at the time of elections they remove the old dividers on the road to by spending some few thousand rupees favouring his own family and pocketing the rest for his personal use. That apart, the govt is giving freebies to all MPs, MLAs. Withdraw all these facilities including LDA so as to save the country to overcome the crisis. Austerity measures should be adopted by the govt since they are looting the common man's fund. A moratorium on this should be issued immediately. To overcome food crisis, Lal Bahadur Shastri appealed to the nation to fast on Thursdays. But this Congress govt does not adopt such austerity measures. Curtail all govt wasteful expenditures. Ban should be in place barring politicians getting treatment abroad on govt expenses. They should get treated by OBC doctors in india only. Insane leaders should be shown the door to save the country from division. Politicians must pay for all things rather than getting free by wasting comman man's fund. By the by, how much arrears these people have to pay for telephone, water and on other items. What happened about recovery of NPAs from industrialists. Make it public.
