Edit 1:

@ Ratnesh Singh:



Mid Day Meal Scheme: Center provides the funds for this scheme and monitoring the mid day meal on daily basis. Also has provisions for monitoring this scheme. Why are teachers monitoring the cooking process?

NREGA and corruption, for any corruption in India the first and foremost responsible parties are we. We the citizens are the one encouraging corruption on all the level. We start corruption since the child is borne, we pay bribe right from birth registration to death registration. Unless we stop that, and be ready to fight that hassle, we have no moral right to talk to about corruption.



Loan Waiver: I would put it other way round, other than UPA opposition everyone knows what benefits did it do to the common man and that is they UPA returned to the power. It is proved in parliament elections as well as assembly elections in Vidharbha.



Reservations, I am all against caste based reservations, but to answer your comments, those who are benefited from reservation will say that reservation is good, but others will say it is bad.



Edit # 2: I am not sure if the citizens of India really understand the difference between the State governments responsibilities and central government's responsibilities? I am not also not sure, if they understand that in most of the cases, Central government only plans, funds and directs the schemes, without proper implementation from local governing bodies, no scheme can be implemented correctly.



How can you deny the changes the union government has brought in and is directly impacting the life of "AAM ADAAME"? The best example the new Tax Code. Can someone on deny that would increase the take home of middle class family by 15-20%? How about the Mandatory Education for children under 12 that is still under discussion and I am not sure if that was included in last education reform?



If you want to just sit and criticize Union Government though enjoy the development provided by the very same government that is your wish. I have courage to appreciate the good work of BJP government in my state Madhya Pradesh, I do appreciate DMK and AIADMK's efforts to make Chennai as hub for Auto Industry at the same time criticize the wrong decision of Congress when it make though I am a hard code Congressman. But for me, India is first, not the party.

Answer 2

The money of the big interest is running big in Washington and US public servants are getting some of it. This is something that we as Americans, middle class can not permit or tolerate. The majority of the Congress that are pro illegals are doing it because of the money and not because it is humane or anything else. They are selling their soul and going against the rights of the American people. So we have to keep alert and watchful. They are in both parties but more in the Democratic party. The Democratic party is doing everything to win in the 2008 election if it take selling the country to the government of Mexico. Now the US Government is going to permit Mexican truckers to drive in our roads and they are not worrying about the illegal drugs and illegal aliens that are going to come through this new way. There are no controls and no security for this new ideas of this so called US government. Wake up America, something is wrong and the government is part of it.

Answer 3

The state governments use language, job reservations and river water dispute for a long time to keep people guessing who would do the economic reforms in that also the parochial politics is to blame the centre for not allotting more money to the states. Ever since captured power on volatile subjects race, religion and language they keep it up to feed the peoples passions not the belly. One such problem is foreign nationals came as refugees doing politics in India whipping up communal sentiments, I hope, in all earnestness Dr, Manmohan Singh as an economist who is not obsessed with anyother bullshit ideology but to bring millions of rural population out of the poverty, abject poverty, I'm ashamed of using the word poverty as India is not that poor if it can look after thousands refugees from Sri Lanka and other neighbouring nations too for more than three decades!

Answer 4

Hats off!

I respect PM Dr. Manmohan Singh and His Government. BJP is wrong here! (What BJP is doing there on the benches of opposite party then? If Our PM is doing nothing- they say then are they able to tell us about their achievements during the period?)



Now we are waiting for the result of Afzal Guru.



We are also waiting desperately for the action as per Kapil Sibbal promised us for “Exams on demand.”



We hope Dr. Manmohan Sing also recognize the scattered tiny groups of So called Hindu community divided in number of casts, languages, regions, and many dimensions as real minority and a single, very unique, offensive religious group of Muslims as real majority. We do expect, accordingly he will distribute the resources because he said that minorities have the first right to get the benefits!

Yes Dr. M Singh government has done too many atrocities to our Foundation but we forgive and still love India and indians very much

Answer 6

India never had a PM as good as Dr. Manmohan Singh. The people of India know that and that's exactly why there is practically no opposition for the Congress.



Who cares what those who do not represent the people rant?



A. B. Vajpayee was not half as capable as Dr. MMS is.

Answer 7

Miss ap dont u have better things to do or to discuss on better "issues", rather than anti bjp and sanctifying the congress. Sitting in front of ur comp n cutting / pasting report cards does not change the situation.

u talk abt mid-day meal - Iam very close to this system n u know what it looks very good to read "MID DAY MEAL" for childeren attending schools- Its just Bullcrap. Do u know that the govt has asked to provide mdm's but have not established a seperate body to look after, the school teachers have to bear the brunt, imagine a teacher who is supposed to teach children, is now instructing the cooks n keeping inventories of rice n dal... n the children they just come for the meal n not to study.



About NREGA: just move ur lazy as* n take a check on the ground reality, the level of corruption has gone into it.



About 65000 crore loan waiver: Has the farmer's situation improved, NO, that is bcoz the loan waiver is not for the farmer's rather it was for the middlemen who took loans from banks n then in return lent it to the unassuming farmers at a very high interest rates (everyone knows abt that).... n who has paid for the 65000 cr waiver.... every1 knows it. (Certainly NOT ur congress).



About the reservations: I cant believe still ppl think it has done good....

Dont have words for that....

Answer 8

The great economist as he is known to be has increased the prices of commodities so high that it is practically impossible for a man on the street to buy even "Dal" for his family. So even if he has done so many things as u have listed he has utterly failed to address this price hike so he is a failure.

Answer 9

Even anti-congress brigade in this forum know the caliber and efficacy of Mr. Singh.But still they do it so out of frustration.



Have any one of this BJP supporters given any matchable qualification, caliber in your previous question about Dr. Singh. NO! Becuase they do not have any body of this stature.



BJP may provide us what you have enunciated above. But we want this :- Can they?



BJP may give us good and prosperous India. But we want "COMMUNAL FREE INDIA". Ideologically that is not possible from BJP side.



BJP may give us safe India. But we want "UNITED & PEACEFULL INDIA" Religiously they do not leave us to get united.



If this is possible we do not mind voting for BJP.

Answer 10

Why? They did so many achievements like Spectrum scam, dropping the case against Qutrochi, supporting one state and avoid another in issues like Mulaiperiyar, Cauvery. These are very few examples.
