One of recent moves of Congress Lead UPA
government which is attracting negative comments from all quarters of life is
setting quota of maximum of six cylinders per year for each family. This move
will mean that now first six cylinders will be provided at subsidized rate and
to get next cylinders you need to pay market price.
An average middle class family
in India
needs at least 12 cylinders per year. By giving only six subsidized cylinders
will cause extra burden of Rs 2100 on each family. The other worrying sign is
high inflation rate. First it becomes difficult for people to buy food and now
it will become difficult to cook food. There are still millions of households
in India
where monthly income is less than Rs 10000.
Such families can not take this
burden and this move will cause unrest in country. It is duty of country to take
measures for the well being of its population. UPA government is involved in so
many corruption scandals that it can easily increase its revenue by cleaning
itself of this dirt. Government and its ministers spend billions of rupees on
themselves and there is no cut on such spending then why there is cut on poor
man’s limited benefits?
