OPen Letter to the PM



I am your die hard supporter, but somehow i am getting a strong feeling that on the following issues the government actions appear to be tentative and not at all proactive.


  •     OROP - why the veterans of armed forces are being subjected to such an embarrassment, particularly when you, the defense minister, the home minister , all have been saying that it is a matter of few days only. On one hand you have doled out huge sums for Bihar ( Certainly keeping the other eye on the elections ) then why not declare OROP. It is a shame if deserving people are made to fight for their rights. if financial burden is the issue, the 125 crore people of the country will not hesitate to pay additional tax levied as cess, to particularly take care of our retired armed forces. You know us we have done that by opting out of LPG subsidy.
  •      The spiraling food prices is another area of big concerns. The monsoon was supposed to be poor this year. We came to know about it well in advance. Then why the government did not import essential items like pulses, onions etc well in time ? Why the government has not declared limits for storage of such items to curb hoarding ?

  •        The government is to be squarely blamed for many delays in getting the bills cleared in the both houses of the parliament. Please note that the earlier governments too had the problems of numbers in the upper house, but still the Narsimharao Government, The Vajpayee Government and the UPA I & II have had much better success rate. It appears that the floor management is very poor. Secondly, it appears that there is lack of transparency.  Take the case of GST. The congress feels that you will change or not accept the recommendations of the select committee or some parties.

In all it appears that either the government is lacking the political will or succumbing to the pressures or the bureaucracy and that should not be acceptable to a person like you. Please take strong punitive actions against ministers / MPs or the bureaucrats who are stalling the wheel of growth. Please note that you will be remembered for your actions or no actions. Action will bring you back in power again and again and Non - action will throw you out the next time. Choice is yours, sir
