“Thank God it’s not Friday,” Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said on May 22, 2008. He was asked to comment on the impact of rising crude oil prices on inflation. Fridays see the release of inflation data.
I wondered when I read this on my Hindu Newspaper next day. I managed to reach my village life. People in the village still believe in Ghost. According to them, ghost reaches out at midnight on Fridays like a cute lady, wears a white sari, spreads out her hair, and shows two lengthy teeth, etc. Ghost is cute, however, people live in fear.
Our minister Chidambaram is also in the same style, like villagers. He says a lot daily. He changes his tune on every seminar, whenever and wherever he appears. Our GDP is just near China’s GDP, we will go beyond China within a few years, growth brings inflation, do not afraid, I have no magic wand to bring down inflation, inflation will come down within 6 weeks, now change his tune to 6 months. According to his words, inflation is good; but above comment shows, still he lives is in fear, when every Friday reaches.
We seldom gave our votes for Congress for last 60 years… Now about 120 crores people who are hardworking in country like donkeys. However, they do not get sufficient food. 70% people earn below Rs. 20 per day. They are being looted by others in the name of price rise, corporate retailing, mobile connections, school fees, private electricity, private universities, etc.
People have started to think before vote. Election results from various states prove this thing without any confusion. Caste & religious fundamentalists compelled their followers to vote for goons, economists etc., but we did not know that those were crooked and corrupt MPs and MLAs. They have gained a lot of wealth. Media seldom helped them a lot to stay this situation here. No god is there to help the poor followers who are starving today.
