The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
Socialist Modi hasn’t missed but overlooked danger signals in economy. I feel he is helpless as his hands are tied by swadeshi jagran manch and RSS which have an affinity for economics quackery. He wants RBI and SBI to fund the government’s socialist bribes namely freebies subsidies reservation loan waiver housing for all healthcare for all and innumerable bunkum schemes.
The troubles in the economy are above the FS’s pay grade. To be perfectly candid, also the FM’s. The beating heart of this government must take a complete review, act with urgency and a great deal of far sightedness to restore it to health. Just two statistics underline the extent of the challenge. Is growth 7% or just 4.5% ? Was the fiscal deficit for a recent year 3.4% or 5.8% ? After the sugar high of sharply lower prices, the economy has been adrift, bereft of any reformist impulses. Demonetisation was like someone taking an axe to a cherry tree. Pretty much downhill since then. Each Indian housewife gets an MRI scan of the economy when she looks at her larder. One exit may not suffice.
PM taking full charge of economy? He will do by congratulating Yedurappa for cancelling Tippu jayanthi calibration. For starters.
