Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Less is More


Dear  Shashi

Here is my today's blog

regards

Congressmen   are   Confused   !

AAP made a few poll promises - prominent being ,

>   700 Liters of free water per month

>   50 % subsidy in power bills

And people of Delhi elected them to power

Then within 48 hours of forming government , AAP fulfilled these promises

Total cost  ?

Less than Rs 40 Crores / month

Congressmen are asking themselves ,

"   We promised Rs 200 Cr / month of freebies - and got thrown out of
    Rajasthan / MP / Chhattisgarh

    What went wrong  ?

    The more we promise , the more we lose  !

    And , to win 2014 elections , we have promised 600 million poor people
    a monthly subsidy of Rs 8,000 Crores by way of Food Security Bill

    At this rate , what will happen to us  ?

    It seems , the more freebies you promise , the greater your chance of
    being thrown out of power  !

    And look at what Rahul Gandhi has promised the people of Amethi  :

   >   A railway coach factory

   >   A University

   >   A paper mill

   >   40 food processing units

   >   Indian Institute of Information Technology

   >   Footwear Design and Development Institute

   >   IT hub in Tikarmafi

   >   A railway line  ..................etc


  But Kumar Vishwas (  AAP  candidate for Amethi ) is promising only ,

  >    A clean / corruption-free / pro-poor government

No more  !

With just 5 months before the 2014 elections , how can our would-be Prime Minister , withdraw those promises  ?

And , since the logic of " Less is More " seems to work , does that mean Kumar Vishwas will defeat Rahul Gandhi  ?   "


And Rahul Gandhi is asking Sheila Dikshit :

>  Why , in 15 years , you did not implement what Arvind Kejriwal did  ?

>  Why you did not ask CAG to conduct an audit of Discoms  ?

>  Why you did not hold Mohalla - Sabhas  to connect with Aam Aadmi  ?

>  Why you failed to figure out that people wanted toilets, not highways  ?

Now , all of you , repeat after me ,

>    Less is More

>    Simple is Elegant

>    Adarsh is not Ideal

>    Aam is not Ordinary

>    CAG is credible

>    Jhadu will sweep

>    Congress will weep

    


Sheila Dikshit , Chidambaram , Kapil Sibal , Salman Khurshid , Jairam Ramesh , Manish Tewari , Kamal Nath , Digvijay - and sundry other Netas , are utterly confused !
