Less is More

Dear  Shashi

Here is my today's blog

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 !
