Its a move in the right direction
by syam kumar on Aug 01, 2008 07:28 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The future would prove that this was a right move.Yet another right one from the Congress Party.Though majority of its leaders are oppurtunists and dishonest, a handful in there like Singh and Antony, though they lack leadership qualities can be counted on when it cmes to the question of national interest. Now we should move full steam towards liberalisation but ensuring in the process that the rich doesnt get richer and the benefits percolates down to the millions of poorest of the poor.

Its time for evaluation of performance of government but media is busy projecting as if new government is being sworn in.

Today we are being bombarded by only one news that is "MM Singh Wins Confidence Motion" and its being projected as if he has Won A War Against Pakistan. Media is showing people dancing in streets, I am cent percent sure those idiots wont even know how many WATTS they burn in there homes but they are dancing as if they have solved the mystry of power need of whole nation.

I was reading an article on McKinsey report on projected power need of India in next 10 yrs. As per report today India has a capacity of 144,565 MW and in next 10 yrs to sustain current growth rate we will need 315000 MW which shows a defecit of about 2,00000 MW. Now as per current buzz going on Indias current capacity of generation of Nucler Power is about 2.9% and by 2022 we want to stretch it to 7%. So we are looking to increase the capacity to roughly 20,000 WATT of nuclear fuel powered energy in aout 14yrs from now.

I fail to understand will 20,000 WATT have any value in light of figures shown by McKinsey? And why the hell whole nation is getting euphoric as if we are going to achieve something great? This issue is being blown out of proportion.

My sensibility says we are being fooled to keep us away from real issues we are facing today. The issue of nuclear agreement is being blown out of proportion to cover up the failures of current government, Issues of roads, rising petroleum prices, inflation, crashing civic infrastructure in cities, increasing crime, corruption list is never ending.

Media has totally forgotten the burning issues that were in news and which were relevant to us today
1. Issue of land allocation for Amarnath pilgrims, totally vanished. Its a great injustice done ot majority sentiments but our media is silent.
2. Issue of 17 yrs high inflation is getting no coverage.
3. Issue of rising petroleum prices.
4. Long due Pay Comission repo

Hope Congress have all the answers to tackle terrorism effectively and inflation before they start campaigning for next elections.

There is already concerns raised by Congress themselves, Congress has sold Indias strategic strength vis a vis Pakistan

If nuke power can generate only 7% of the requirement, do you think, hydel and cole can generate much more by 2014? some people keep talking about wind and wave enegery generation which I wonder is commercially viable at the current technology we have.No matter what we do, we will have a deficit of power but generating something is better than nothing.
