It is not a good sign.By: Indian | Tuesday , 10 Nov '09 13:51:20 PM Reply | Forward Right to recall. Amend in the constitution to recall the elected leaders / electees by the voters or electors. Every year there should be a review voting in each constituency for a period of one week, for the people, to give their opinion and views on the satisfaction of the performance by their elected representatives, whether they are satisfied, not satisfied, need to improve and give time or recall immediately. Then only all such problems in our political system will not happen. Corruption based review must be included including bureaucrats. Dictating and becoming powerful to take people for granted by politicians and bureaucrats will stop with this.

So much for austerityBy: Ritesh Thatte | Tuesday , 10 Nov '09 4:04:23 AM Reply | Forward I live in Australia and during my India visit last month I had planned to visit our family temple which was close to Latur in Maharashtra. I was surprised to find that Latur had an airport which was serviced by Kingfisher. We booked our tickets and landed at Latur late morning. It is a small airport with a couple of rooms, plastic chairs and a ceiling fan. The bathrooms had no lights. A decent crowd, all holding Congress flags had gathered at the airport. We were informed that no one generally comes to Latur and hence there is no rickshaw or taxi facility there. The airport was mainly built for Vilasrao Deshmukh and his family and the flights which serviced Nanded from Mumbai only landed in Latur when they had some passengers. The crowd was there because Deshmukh and family were flying into Latur on a chartered plane and from there they were going for a 'goddess darshan' in a helicopter. And he is a cabinet minister. That proves that all that austerity thing is a complete farce.
Travel by Ministers - Austerity Drive my footBy: Sid | Tuesday , 10 Nov '09 3:02:19 AM Reply | Forward There goes the Austerity drive by the ministers, my foot. Where is Mr. PM and Ms. Gandhi shouting now?
Ministers and state visitBy: MK | Tuesday , 10 Nov '09 1:01:42 AM Reply | Forward There should be a free will to travel to the constituency using public money for the welfare of the people. The out of state and within state visits are to be monitered jointly by the finance and the comptroler general's office and verify whether the visit is liable out of public pocket or minister's own pocket. The elected person in goodfaith is the mirror reflaction of the constituency - the people.
PM has no guts to stop this!By: Balu,Canada | Tuesday , 10 Nov '09 0:25:17 AM Reply | Forward If the question is posed to our P.M, he will blink like pussy cat and lament within himself and murmur somethiong amounting to advice ministers! But no clear instructions will eminate from him or his office. So, BJP called him a weak P.M, but Nation find in him the weakest ever P.M for the century!!!!
