Congress is a joke !!By: Ramesh | Monday , 6 Jul '09 18:01:51 PM Reply | Forward Dear friends, We have been writing messages about implementing Retirement Age to Politicians. Atleast now, NGO and Election Commission should wake up and fix retirement age for Politicians. Nobody should work after the age of 60 years, even if he is a governor or PM or CM or President. Minimum Qualification should be Graduate. They must and should implement these two immediately without further delay. What can you expect from the persons who are not mentally and medically fit and wants to rule our country still...?? All these oldies have wornout and obsolete ideas. First we should end this family run politics in India.

Economics is more than it reads- Do Not Discredit it at an outset By: Guitty | Monday , 6 Jul '09 17:49:47 PM Reply | Forward Sir , it is pre-mature to comment on budget without even reading it . Income tax surcharge removal can be equivalent to rebate of another 10000-60000 to mass salary class . Containing fiscal deficit to 6.8 % can not be a joke on required corrosponding GDP numbers . Nutrient based Fertiliser subsidy reaching to farmers -details and time frame to be known , means a total change of space for the Fertiliser business producer to dealer (involving one lakh crores of subsidy ) - like comprehending in detail the transparency and plucking of the last rupee to exchequer accounting - Blame media - for raising minimum expectation of tax payers out of proportions . At least today evening news channels will not boost of their forecasts .

We still remember your budget Mr. SinhaBy: Guruji | Monday , 6 Jul '09 16:27:56 PM Reply | Forward We have seen the kind of budget you used to deliver Mr Yaswant. We still remember your increasing of the income tax on the hard working people by 25% and then telling in your arrogant manner that you cannot get money out of thin air without increasing taxes. The budget is not even fully out and you have already dismissed it as "timid, trepid and unimpressive". Shouldn't you have actually read the budget first before shooting from your mouth.. But then you are in BJP... Shooting from mouth without applying brain is a hallmark of you people.

Congress is a joke !!By: vivek | Monday , 6 Jul '09 16:19:24 PM Reply | Forward I fully agree wth the views mentioned in the above mentioned title. What type of dynamism one can expect from people above 70-75 age. There is no proper presentation, communication and commitment in the budget. This budget displays lack of vision and itis full of patchwork policies. Even budget speech is boring and copybook and lack innovative approach in presentation. Even MPs sitting in LOKSABHA were feeling sleepy, what type of message it can give to the common people?? This is the difference between India and China. China's planning, decision making and execution skills are amazing. We need to display those skills and leaders in the age group of 40-60 should take the lead and throw out the old guys. These old guys will not be existing to see the downtrend of the country. India's problems are complex and we need matured young leadership to take some bold decisions and steps alongwith thoughtful risk.

Congress is a joke !!By: viv | Monday , 6 Jul '09 15:34:54 PM Reply | Forward The Stock market has basically given a thumbs down to the budget while the congress like a pompous prick is self-congratulating itself.Congress has come out all guns blazing to basically secure a complete majority in the next elections and the country is being crucified for congress to retain power.While China is powering ahead ..india is being held back by this party of grand old men...who are serving themselves more than this country.India will regret this period ...the time being wasted now will haunt the country because these oldies will anyways be dead by then.
