Skewed Governance

This afternoon I experienced a common problem that most of us come across: unwarranted telemarketing phone calls. This is a nuisance to people in general, and particularly so to senior citizens like me who like to be free from phone calls as much as possible. I used to block such calls, but found that this costs memory space in my phone.

Though BJP has been doing well in Governance, it has not been satisfactory. As I mentioned in a previous post, cost of living has drastically increased in the past few years. Any well qualified statistian or economist would agree that it deviates from the norm.

I think that the Government should change it's order of priorities and work for the welfare of common folk instead of basking in ancient glories of our country and in trying to race against financially rich countries in space research etc. and thereby wasting taxpayer's money.

I certainly don't think that exploring the moon's surface is of any benefit to common folk and the poor. Any good Government should basically work for the welfare of all citizens across barriers like how it was in Raam Raaj. Actions speak better than words.
