Finance Ministry : Higher taxes (till last month) Other indirect taxes %u2013 VAT, Cess, Service included.
VAT: PM/FM stated that it will not affect common man. Fooled. Actually traders are billing it separately. You pay for this when for everything %u2013hotels to movies.
Edu Cess: Everyone pays for this. Still fee hike is since last four years is more than 400 %.It is not IITs/IIMs alone ..even school fees is hiked. Over that reservations have affected chances of the so called general castes.
Other expenses : Every city roads are not built using tax payers money but sold to individual contractors in the name of privatisiation. Toll for almost every impt road in every city.
Essential commodities : Price rise since last four years is 35% to 115%. Though the govt claims that inflation is now 7%. This is not a new thing happening since last few months. Gas, food items, cosmetics, power, water all incl.
Aviation Min.: Claims building or developing airports. Actually existing airports are sold to private bodies who in turn charge like toll you pay for traveling on road. Airports no longer are a public property they are shops of private ownerships like GMR. Airline company takes just Rs. 500 to 1000 for ferrying passengers. But Govt takes 1650 and the private airport owner takes Rs. 700.
Agriculture Min.: Neg growth since last four years. Worst since 1947. This is inspite of huge expenses on free loans,subsidies on elec,
water, ferlisers etc.
Contd..

Child and Social Welfare : Male to female sex ratio on rise in many states. Noida child abuse accused is out on bail. Paedophila is getting rampant. Child labour is still an issue. It is easier to buy 4 children than buying one goat or bull.
      
Health Ministry : Fiddles around with the best institution AIIMS. Sacks honest director %u2013 Venugopal, delays issuing certifcates. Doctors strike takes casualities. Unavailability of medicines in govt hospitals inspite of huge procurements. Replaces honest directors of CRI %u2013 Kasuali, CDRI, Pasteur Institute Coonoor, DCGI with the most corrupt ones.

Home : Rise in terrorism. Kiran Bedi sacked. CBI not being made independent. Corruption / scams are no more a crime.

If you object to government then you are a non-secular Hindu fundamentalist BJP driven person.

VOTE CONGRESS FOR AAM AADMI
