chidambaram's election budget

Chidambaram.Harvard returned.Drawing room Economist.India's present Finance Minister.Presents his 5th and perhaps last budget full of Election Manifesto Promises and Doles for Aam Aadmi to woo him to vote for Congress in 2009.
Whose Grand Father's money is Chidambaram distributing,anyway ? Not his grand father's in any case. Its the honest tax payers hard earned money sincerely paid to the ITO hoping to see a better India.
The poor Indian Farmer has been fed on doles,subsidies and loan waivers for the past 60 years.To-day 60,000 crores are being spent on loan waivers for poor and marginal farmers hoping to win their vote bank.
The Indian Farmer wants a dignified self respecting income from his land,not mere doles and waivers. He needs minimum support prices for his staple crops.He wants needed fertilisers at reasonable prices at the needed hour. He needs protection from black marketing merchants of Fertilisers and pesticides. He needs good seeds at cost price which the government can and must supply. he needs good schools for his children.Schools where teachers are present the whole day and teach sincerely. He needs Primary Health Centres where the Staff work without asking for tips (bribes). He expects to be treated like a human being by the Government.
Then and only then we will have the satisfaction that we are a Sovereign Demovratic Republic.
To-day we are a money and muscle dominated Polity where might is right.No one ever knows what Democracy is and what is meant by Republic.We are still slaves under monied Politicians and local Gundas who are patronised by the nasty Politician.
