What good happened to UPA? the following would account to:
a)Allocation of 3G spectrum brought in huge sum of money. whooping 7400 crores.
b)Right to Education gets a shoot.
c)Women's Reservation bill is passed in Rajya Sabha which reserves 33pc seats in for women.
And many more...
However, there were setbacks to UPA too.
a)Naxal issues: UPA blantly fails to deal with this issue. It has perhaps become one of the major issues of the government.
b)Corruption: With the news of Telecom Minister A. Raja's involvement in illegally allocation the 2G spectrum, UPA suffered a great setback to its image. A tainted minister in the Cabinet is what would be the worst thing any government would expect to have.
c)price rise: Issue hitting hard on the janta. Price rise upto 17pc. and they siad it was a economic slowdown!!!
d)International relations: A failed Sharm al Sheikh meeting reflected poorly on the UPA's efficiency to maintain cordial relations with the Pakistan. While on the other hand, China has been stiff over its stances regarding Sikkim.
And many more...
All said and done, UPA faired many more negetives than giving a positive boost to the nation's infrastrucural and political growth(thts y i prefered to write 'And many more... ' twice). However, in my opinion, the leadership under which UPA functions gives me no reason to loose trust!!
Though, Right now what comes to mind is the meek face of PM Dr. Manmohan Singh. Has he always been like this? So unsure and ultra-dimplomatic? The press conference which was actually organised to make the nation aware of what the government holds for it in the future, ended as a mere speech of commitments which wr made long before during the election bt never saw the light. All i could infer was somehow somewhere Dr. Singh wr bounded to supply information to the media. His answers were short(even shorter than my TWEETS!!!!!), sometimes inappropriate and many times not upto the expectations. The media wanted answers, but all they got were assurances that evn Dr. Singh wasnt perhaps sure will materialize.
And yes rest is explained by this cartoon by shreyas navare(In HT) has pretty much explained the performance of UPA-2.. My first reaction to this cartoon was..obviously bursting into laughter and ramming the sofa, seconds later when i realized i have spilled my morning tea and my mom was frowning at me...
Anyways, mom can be dealt with a sorry and a smile!! Bt seems UPA is having hard time dealing with the nation!!! With P. Chidambram caught in traps by maoist issue is giving them a hard time, on the other, inflation has razed them through(thts Pranab Mukherjee). Mamta's rail has incurred huge losses( Laloo ki mehanat paani me) and no sign of peace at international borders.. But whats most important thing to note is, UPA still stands strong( Cake katiye Manmohan ji and sonia ji). They sense no threat to their government.. Janta k paas aur koi option bhi to nahi he shayad!!.
