land for poor
by srinivas on Jan 09, 2008 07:47 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

many of us do not know that it is Mr.P.V.Narsimhar Rao who has started distributing land for the poorer sections in the society when he was the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh

He more than deserves Bharat Ratna

He is also the first PM to face criminal charges (bribing JMM MPs).

Yes ! History will rate that man as the Prime Minister who took India to the 21st Century . His vision and Dr MM Singh's planning make India into what economists globally call the second fastest growing economy in the World.
But sadly neither the Congress nor the BJP will agree to that line of thinking since it conflicts with their current agendas

He had only unshakled our economy from the rigid Licence-Permit Raj, a legacy of Nehruvian socialism! It was in fact only the undoing of the disasterous economic policy followed by the Congress party since independence! So nothing great about it.

This step was taken by CPI and CPI(M) long time back in 1970s and that too by using existing laws. They never got nor claimed any Bharat Ratna for this. Till then the rights of the tillers existed only on paper.

To a jaundiced person, every thing looks yellow! You will never say a good word for the Communists despite knowing that had it not for the Communists, the Chruches and imperialists would have swallowed the entire world long back! There might have been some mistakes but they were inevitable.

The Kerala Land Reforms act was in existence long before Shri PVN Rao became the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. The said law was the pre-curser of all land-reforms in India.

No doubt he was an able PM and deserves the respect of all our Countrymen.
