Mr. All Right, I fully agree that the Congress has announced this to woo farmers that constitute directly or indirectly 70% of the entire population. But they have not targeted the Left. The Left would be non existant any more, anyway. Definitely, this waiver, once workedout fully, will go down well with these poor people, who actually VOTE.
And this Waiver Scheme has been worked out very carefully in all these years so that the impact would not be much on the economy.
There will surely be expectations in the non-farm poors that one day this government would elevate their condition as well. And that would surely be many more Crore Votes.
It is the 60 Crore VOTEs that count, and not the Nuclear Issue or anything else.
