One of the comments I received for my previous posts was that the majority isnt always right!!Of course the majority is usually never right.Precisely because what is obvious to most eyes is just what is happening in front of their eyes-the present.
My last post was about how Chandrababu Naidu ended paying for his good governance.Yes people like chief ministers who give them free electricity,free seeds,free water,free insecticides-you name it.These chief ministers are always the more popular ones.But then let me put a question-Wont somebody have to pay for this?So who pays?The chief minister?The agricultural minister?The government?Naah.Its you and me-the working class who end up paying taxes which are used for giving subsidies.And to whom?To the rich farmers!!Yes I said rich farmers.
People who own more land,who have more land under agriculture will obviously profit more from these subsidies.And farmers with more land usually tend to be better off than most of their counterparts, except ofcourse during famines when perhaps larger land holdings might mean larger debts.And what finally comes out of these gross subsidies which in any ways dont reach out to the people actually in need thanks to rampant corruption, gross inefficiency and a lethargic bureaucratic approach-deficit!!The treasury runs out of cash that it cant even pay its own employees.But then our politicians make good out of even this-just blame the previous government.Like they say spend the first two years of your tenure giving media interviews on how the state was being inefficiently and corruptly managed by your predecessor,the next two years in trying to swindle as much as you can from the treasury and last one year thanking people for voting you, telling them how five years werent enough to wipe out all the bad that your predecessor had done and so requesting them to give you another five years for the business left unfinished.
