Games govt play....

The headlines today say that govt(read PM) is trying very hard to get the Nuclear Deal through despite of all the opposition of the Left parties and even Manmohan Singh has "threatened" to step down in case it doesn't go through. Well I thought this issue was in the as there wasn't much noise about it in the recent days,infact PM himself has said few days back that there are few "ironies" of life one has to live with. Now what possibly has happened over last few days that this thing has surfaced again.There are two things that have happened in the recent times which could have jolted the govt..

1. Congress has lost state election in few states which have gone to elections in last year or so.
2. Inflation is rising like never before in the recent weeks(latest figure that came out today is at 11.05% which is much higher than RBI limit of 5%). And needless to say common man is feeling the heat. The rising oil prices all over the world have made the matters worse.

Now we can probably understand the latest "concern" of PM about the nuclear deal. As this govt doesn't have anything meaningful to show to the Indian citizens(Elections are only 6 months away) so this seems like a last throw of dice. They want to show that power doesn't matter to them as much as nation's "welfare". Well this attempt is more out hope of than realty. You can't hide your face under a "cosmetic make up" for too long, as finally it will start coming down and I am afraid this has already happened with present govt. Now let's see how much "make up" they are left with. By the way there has been a huge campaign being run by govt cuerrently to show its "achievements" and the good work it has done over the last 5 year. I can't understand if you have done something nice for someone(common man) why you need to put it on a poster for him to know it? Well govt is "hoping" to come to power again this time by "advertising" their achievements. There was something called "India Shining" campaign that came 5 year's ago from BJP led govt. It couldn't convince the nation then. So what are the chances that UPA will come to power this time again. Well there's an old saying "History repeats itself..."

well if u take a glance to present marketing policies it emphasise on show off...there is a saying "jo dikhta hai, wo bikta hai"..n politics is not an exception...Wat BJP govt had done was still justified coz the had things to put on the "poster" but UPA govt..huh..i dont see anything...the "poster" is hazy n taking out the nuclear deal issue not gonna help much. Now only thing dat can save this alliance to some extent is declaration of sixth pay commision..give some benefits to people, they might consider u next time...
