I feel this article is so pathetic that I am contributing another comment section.
Dear MrShenoy, what do you mean by the word "performance" when you attribute it to PM's 15 Aug speech. Please give some respect to that man, the position and his words.
When you question PM's resolve to do something about energy independence, do you forget that he worked out a "controversial" deal to obtain nuclear fuel. The gas pipeline issue is on the cards. Our oil-PSUs are on an investment and overtaking spree, extensive gas and oil exploration partnering foreign firms was initiated by Mr.PC long time back and there are some promising results. Himachal is increasing its hydro-power utilization...so on and so forth.
Things do progress but at their own pace and it would be inappropriate to imply that no one is doing anything useful in the union or state cabinet.
