Rahul Gandhi desperately wants to be the PM and he is leaving no stone unturned in trying to achieve this quest, like a adamant child who is creating a ruckus for a toy…Mamta Banerjee is in Delhi to forge an alliance which is supposedly to be bereft of the Congress, intended to keep BJP & Congress out of power and maybe make her the contender for the coveted chair. The only agenda that these politicians have today is to “play politics”. And, if they somehow succeed in their agenda, then what? Infighting for the seat of the Prime Minister. It is absolutely ridiculous. Everyone wants to fight for the trophy-the power to the PM’s Chair. But does anyone deserve it. Are we the voters – the choosers or the beggars. At the mercy of how the politicians try to carve a niche for themselves. I am sure no one has the good of the Country in their hearts. It is all vendetta and pride and AMBITION.

The Government is never held accountable in the true sense for its “performance”. The Ruling Party can levy “extra” cess and additional taxes at will, but the expenditure book of Accounts is never shared. For instance an education cess has been levied for a long time and all the “tax payers” have been religiously paying it (no choice), but whether the money has been put to its end use. The other day the Punjab Finance Minister, proposed the implementation of a monthly tax of ₹200. Where does this “crowd Funding” go? If any Venture Capital Fund invests in a business, they keep a close watch in ensuring that the money they have lent is put to the right use and in turn the VC also has a clear, well defined “exit” strategy/plan. In the case of the state it is always a one way ticket. A tax is mooted and the two tier House of Representatives approve it and the Funding begins. Where is the end use accountability? Five years get over and each one of them is out on the streets garnering “votes” to continue their “good work”. In fact the manifesto should have the balance sheets and the Profit & Loss Account. How much money was collected in the name of Development and what has come out of it. I wonder why as in the case of Businesses, should we not have the Balance Sheets and Annual Returns filed and uploaded on Registrar of Government for all to see. Why is the Government not asked to prepare a Profit & Loss Account? Budget is just a one way communication on which the opposition will make some noise or even create a ruckus and not participate in the discussion by boycotting parliament and the Incumbent Government will somehow pass the Budget and implement. It does not matter what the citizen wants, it is what the politicians want and the rising decibels is becoming quite deafening and incomprehensible…
