UPA II Report Card

[Marxist]

Government has no control over foreign prices

The irony is that government tried it's best to pass the reforms in the parliament ..

It was BJP who blocked the FDI reforms in retail sector .

first part ...why there was no price rise during election season ?

BJP blocked ...here in India policies are made by the ruling party (or coalition)not by the opposition... its a stupidity to blame the opposition for Government's failure to implement a policy

I said BJP because they have 2nd most numbers .. For a change they could have supported Congress .. The bill was actually awesome and well made which was going to benefit the rural people the most ..
Btw I had no hopes from SP , BSP , Trinamool they are plain retards

Price rise wasn't during elections because as U said here in India policies are made by ruling party and Congress is the ruling party

This is the Most Dumbf*ck Sh!t that Media Feeds you. You should have been Growing at 9%-10% if We Follow the Natural Way Right Now. Because of the Stupidity of the Dumbf*ck Government, The Growth Rate has Fallen to 6.9%. Get it?

Calm down .. The growth rate during Great Vajpayee government was much lower than 6.9%
Plus there was no recession going on that time and our growth rate was slightly higher than World's growth rate ..

Now the world's growth rate is 2.6% and ours 6.9% .. Much higher

 

[bindaas]

Now the world's growth rate is 2.6% and ours 6.9% .. Much higher

It seems expectations of we Indians have increased over the time, most expect 8% GDP growth.

 

[Zeeshan360]

It seems expectations of we Indians have increased over the time, most expect 8% GDP growth.

Many Indians have a mentality that we are superior than China .. But in reality it isn't
So people always keep on comparing ourselves to them .. As the Chinese are clocking 8% even Indians want India to clock the same thing but forgetting that political parties in India prefer playing politics than the welfare of the people

Even Chinese are suffering. Their GDP growth rate has come to 8% approx. from 12% and it is expected that they will have 7.5% growth this fiscal. Their export sector is one who suffered a lot because of Euro crisis.

Yeah ..
China is actually in a good position because they are a manufacturing based country so their clients are wide spread to many countries

But India being a service based country our clients are mainly based in US and EU .. So we suffer the most if anything happens there

shame on UPA.

 

[Fireurimagination]

UPA II has been a GIGANTIC Failure on all fronts

- Ministers/Govt looted the country/Tax-Payers with massive corruption and scams
- Inflation has touched crazy limits so much so that a common man existence is becoming a struggle, prices of everything essential have increased 4 folds
- Arrogance and lack of Political will driving away Investment, FDI, hitting the economy hard
- All the growth index(s) going down
- Political and arrogant undemocratic blunders/behaviour by arrogant govt. (Curbs on Media/Social Media/Ramdev/Anna..etc)
- Spineless leadership
- Lack of political will to initiate reforms or take any tough decisions

UPA II should themselves resign and do a favor for the country

 

[pt1982]

1st of all sorry my dear Congressi ,i know ur A$$ burning after seeing all these ,but what to do truth is bitter to digest

\
You have been trained to use these words at RSS camp or in home!!! In democracy there is nothing about digestion in the middle of a discussion. It is all about view and counter view. It will go on till some rational view comes up. Still, there will be people who uses bad words without good argument to make other avoid to involve in discussion. Though, I am not running away.

so u r indirectly lauding the greatest epic scam in india's history HuH,???
nice
In 2011, Time magazine listed the 2G scam at number two on their “Top 10 Abuses of Power” list
India's Telecoms Scandal - Top 10 Abuses of Power - TIME

Well dont tell those loss & gain farsch to me like ur SIBAL chacha told in parliament to save congress's face ok

I think we have a SC which is more credible than the magazine you are quoting. In the verdict, they faulted the policy. If you go by that then there is loss. If there is loss during UPA, then the loss was due to the NDA who brought the policy into act. Mind it, the govt. still thinks the policy is a good policy. Also going y auction policy there was loss during NDA period also. What I meant is that the policy is the domain of the govt. which it takes based on many different factors and one of the most important one is to reach the service to the last person. I think the policy brought by NDA and taken forward by UPA did achieve that.

Yes, there is a scam. The scam is well articulated by SC verdict. It talks about the willful wrong implementation by the concerned minister and the scam is only limited to that.

oh yes why not ???? it's for india only not for UPA my dear congressi

u forgot how great kalmadi uncle did secret dealings under the leadership of IOA & that even crowd booed him in ground in front of foreign guests . & india's image was indirectly tainted for such corrupt officials

well i did agree MMS did a desperate job to save india's face & thank god he somehow suceeded in the end to save india's face.

Have I said I am attributing the success to Congress, but yes the incumbent tries to take credit because that is how democracy functions. Obama did not kill Laden, but during that his rating increased. Yes, there were some mistakes during the hosting, but it is not that other sports event is not marred with such last minute glitch. Many of the construction work was delayed due to the court cases on environmental ground. Another thing, who was the vice-president of IOA and has he done his duty if there is large scale irregularity as you have suggested?

loolz
u should look Standard / poor's report about India who is to be blame my dear congressi??
the common man ,or the industrialists or the Government
Rupees constant fall against a dollar is a not a good sign for our economy for sure

well infact states like Gujarat shows the promise how economic development should be if all states of india develop like it then one day we would defintely be a economic super power for sure

Where was this Standard / poor when America was plunging into crisis in 2007/2008? There is a host of problems that india is facing today. Nobody can wish away some back tracking of govt. on policy has dampened the spirit. but that can not be the only iisue. Then why is there a dip in the growth in China? Global economy, lack of decision making due to the hyper media for so called CAG reports (which is at best a multiplication expert), an opposition which is suffering from the inferiority complex after the 2004 loss and some regional players who think they own this country. This is a perfect recipe for economic slow down. But, I think this is good because it shows democracy is functioning and with time this will mature for better.

Regarding, Gujurat..I have strong reservation about its growth under Modi. There are better performing states than Gujurat, but they don't tom-tom every little thing that happen in their state. Also, historically, Gujurat is a developed state with a lot of focus initially in 60/70 on industry as it was npt a irrigated state. The people of Gujurat are also responsible for waht Gujurat is today. They have the best entrepreneurial capability in India. That is a historic fact.

One small example of exaggeration when one or two auto major wanted to set shop in Gujurat it became a huge news, but Maharastra and TN are already major auto hobs. Nobody shouted fro the roof top about that!!! This is also the sycophancy that you people talk about Congress.

haa haa
my dear congressi the petrol price has risen 7.50 rupees from tonight .Who knows it may further increase further & how that increase will have catastrophic effect on inflation we all know .

It has to increase. Those who can afford must pay. Middle class does not need protection; there is bigger population to think about.

My dear
i know this is not the right place to speak such things ,but forget more than enough preparedness but minimum basic preparedness is also not done .
Common tell me if thats not the case why the government is fast tracking the purchases of those equipements which our Army
chief had stated in that secret letter.
I know it's bad to say such things in this forum ,but defintely it should have been sorted much earlier for sure

You are talking about fast tracking....that shows the intention of the govt. I would not give credit to govt. They have to do it. But, It is good that it is happening. But to say they are doing it willingly is also wrong. Look at Navy and IAF, their procurement process is so fast; why IA falter? They should also take the responsibility of their inefficiency.

my dear congressi
do i have to remind u what happened in Sharm-el-Sheikh in NAM summit that made an uproar in parliament
meanwhile our country was reeling under the trauma of terrorist attack in Mumbai
Balochistan bungle may prove costly - Times Of India
India's Baloch dilemma | Foreign Policy Blogs
asianaffairs

I want a link which quotes the PM's actual comment, not the media spin. The PM just allowed the Pakistani side to provide the proof of their claim. He never uttered a single word to endorse the claim that India supports terrorism in Baluchistan. He did one thing good, which might not appease the hawks; de-linking terrorism from peace talk. And I believe this a good think to do.

Lollz
but the fact under UPA's government rule (madamji) entire country's future 's looks dark & of course people of UP were not wearing dark glasses for sure when ur dear yuvraaj campaigned in UP & everyone saw the result there ,????

Congress was down and out after 1996. Nobody gave it a chance to be in power in 2004, but it came to power. It got elected the second time also. So, to conclude a election defeat or two as end of road is not an intelligent one. Yeh, they can be booted out in the next election, but who would come to power? The opposition house is much divided one. If theere is anyway Rahul can become the PM, it is only through the democratic process. If he can good...If he can not that is also good.

hmm aleast he brought the attention of indian public about this black money issue ,i know all politicians have black money,Dont
pass the buck on another party to justify UPA's politician & ministers are saint & have real interest to bring black money back.

Where am I passing the buck. Advani is doing that. He was the Home Minister and the de-facto Deputy-PM, but never bother to talsk about that. At least this govt. has penalized some people and got back some money. It at least signed double taxation avoidance treaty with around 70 countries, negotiated with Swiss govt. to treat it equally with UK and other European countries while seeking information from the Swiss bank. Somedays back, the govt. came up with the white paper which endorsed Lokpal and lokayukta. They are doing something if not all the thing. But their performance in this front is wa way better than those who shout from roof top.

[/QUOTE]
hmm sure why not ???
instead bringing the upliftment of downtrodden & poor people of all religion & caste why target only a particular community & religion .& now what does that mean????
it is petty votebank politics my dear congressi.[/QUOTE]

U did not understand my point. If SC & ST can be Hindu and get the benefit, so alos the lower caste in other minorities based on religion. Till you get rid of SC & ST benefit, you should not have any problem with others. What is the point of view of BJP regarding the reservation; go and check their stand.

well ask urselves why are they doing this & what is the need????
Had any earliear government done that.???if thats not a point why there was an uproar in parliament by BJP over this issue.Huh??

U still did not understand. My point is don't you think NDA govt. have not done that. Whether it is that difficult to know. That s what my theme of my reply.

But by the way, what is the problem in doing that. It would show the representation of a section of society in the army. It will help the policy makers to mke the army more inclusive and that will strengthen the unity of this country whose existence is based on the same principle.

Wow what a solution by u to dissuade farmers from commiting suicide.???u better gave that suggestion to Sharad pawar may be
he will admire ur suggestion .
Meaning is it is the fault of indian middle class who are greedy to pay more money for food so that farmers are commiting suicide.

Yes and no.


Look I am from a family who employs some people for agriculture. I am from odisha. There, people are only involved in regular non-cash crop like rice, mung. These produce fetch less money to farmer though experience shows our investment is much higher. Still, I have not seen any case of suicide there. Because, no farmer takes bigger loan. As expectation is low so is the pressure to meet it.

Look at the farmers in Maharastra and AP. Those who kill themselves, are farmers involved in cash crop like cotton. They take huge loans from loan mafia or banks. If the crop fails, their world is shattered and they took this extreme step.

SO suicide is actually a different ball game altogether. And also all the suicide ca not be grouped into farmer suicide. All are farmer, but many have different reasons to suicide. Saying so, I am no way ridiculing the farm distress. There is genuine cases and needs to be tackled humanely.

 

[bindaas]

Yeah ..
China is actually in a good position because they are a manufacturing based country so their clients are wide spread to many countries

But India being a service based country our clients are mainly based in US and EU .. So we suffer the most if anything happens there

US and EU are largest importer of Chinese products. So, their client base is also mainly these two and that's why Euro crisis is hitting China's export sector very hard.

 

[Fireurimagination]

The biggest problem with UPA II is it's ignorance and arrogance..they bloody believe that the country is their private property

 

[SamantK]

The failures of congress

1. They have introduced schemes where a person is given guaranteed employment, availability of work or not, which is leading to non-availability of labour for the farmers who are not so rich to afford big machines and now cannot afford cheap labour despite the living standards remaining the same. People are getting lazy, seen from my eyes.

2. Congress even in paralysis does not want to let go of the proverbial 'kursi' even after knowing that the allies are only about the word instead of the meaning

3. Social media is being scuttled like anything, any thing anti to them should be taken down. How does it effect the common citizens.

4. Another big scam in the making in AP read Jagan Mohan reddy and YSR.

5. Food inflation has remained consistently high

6. Please tell me the new economic policies introduced?

7. Trying to now play the Muslim vote bank for reservations

8. Neopotism in the biggest party in the country. Why Pranab Mukherjee was not selected as the PM for UPA 2, cause he was not a puppet.

9. 2G scam, people think they are thankful for the low cost of mobile bills. A hungry person will not eat his cell-phone, get real.

10. PM being an economist, no real economic reforms, FDI was shot down by Mamata not BJP, clear your facts guys.. and for BJP to support them were they taken into confidence? How do you wish a party to support you without even discussing it with them. How unrealistic can people get here!

11. What has Congress Govt has done to reduce the dependency on Oil based products? Nothing.

12. Interest rates have remained high, how does it effect the entrepreneurs?

13. Tax on Captial gain, is that a joke?

14. LCA inducted into the Air force without FOC, joke of the year..

15. I forgot to add the Lokpal fiasco and the biggest one

16. UPA-2 tried to dilute RTI bill, the worst thing it could.


Quite a big list, innit?

Nicely summarized

But the problem is we don't have a potent opposition party which could solve these problems

I just hope that people vote either BJP or congress .. People should refrain from voting regional parties .. Allies politics is killing India

If Congress allies had supported them we wouldn't be facing a reform crisis which we are suffering now

 

[Fireurimagination]

It will go on till some rational view comes up. Still, there will be people who uses bad words without good argument to make other avoid to involve in discussion. Though, I am not running away.

Well everybody is not Congress lover and to blind to see the happenings around

I think we have a SC which is more credible than the magazine you are quoting. In the verdict, they faulted the policy. If you go by that then there is loss.

I think the policy brought by NDA and taken forward by UPA did achieve that.

Yes, there is a scam. The scam is well articulated by SC verdict. It talks about the willful wrong implementation by the concerned minister and the scam is only limited to that.

It’s not about a scam it’s about ‘SCAMSSSSSS’ and the crappy statements and actions by everybody in Congress including the PM about compulsions of coalition politics, these leeches just want to be in power to suck the country dry

Have I said I am attributing the success to Congress, but yes the incumbent tries to take credit because that is how democracy functions. Obama did not kill Laden, but during that his rating increased. Yes, there were some mistakes during the hosting, but it is not that other sports event is not marred with such last minute glitch. Many of the construction work was delayed due to the court cases on environmental ground. Another thing, who was the vice-president of IOA and has he done his duty if there is large scale irregularity as you have suggested?

If you are quick to take credit, also be forth coming in your utter failures

Where was this Standard / poor when America was plunging into crisis in 2007/2008? There is a host of problems that india is facing today. Nobody can wish away some back tracking of govt. on policy has dampened the spirit. but that can not be the only iisue. Then why is there a dip in the growth in China? Global economy, lack of decision making due to the hyper media for so called CAG reports (which is at best a multiplication expert), an opposition which is suffering from the inferiority complex after the 2004 loss and some regional players who think they own this country. This is a perfect recipe for economic slow down. But, I think this is good because it shows democracy is functioning and with time this will mature for better.

Governments work for the betterment of the country, where as your beloved UPA II policies and decisions/non-decisions are screwing up the economy and public in general

Regarding, Gujurat..I have strong reservation about its growth under Modi. There are better performing states than Gujurat, but they don't tom-tom every little thing that happen in their state. Also, historically, Gujurat is a developed state with a lot of focus initially in 60/70 on industry as it was npt a irrigated state. The people of Gujurat are also responsible for waht Gujurat is today. They have the best entrepreneurial capability in India. That is a historic fact.
One small example of exaggeration when one or two auto major wanted to set shop in Gujurat it became a huge news, but Maharastra and TN are already major auto hobs. Nobody shouted fro the roof top about that!!! This is also the sycophancy that you people talk about Congress.

LOL Now what happened to the Obama/Osama Logic? You can believe what you want to believe results are there for everyone to see
Gujrat – Power Surplus
Maharashtra/TN – Power cuts

It has to increase. Those who can afford must pay. Middle class does not need protection; there is bigger population to think about.

The bigger population will benefit when prices of essential commodities will increase 4 folds, the India growth story is fueled by the Middle Class and now things are going from bad to worse, where the Middle class has to think on lines of survival, forget about the poor

You are talking about fast tracking....that shows the intention of the govt. I would not give credit to govt. They have to do it. But, It is good that it is happening. But to say they are doing it willingly is also wrong. Look at Navy and IAF, their procurement process is so fast; why IA falter? They should also take the responsibility of their inefficiency.

And the red tapism on the part of the Government? They had 10 years, to set things okay, right? What progress did they make?

I want a link which quotes the PM's actual comment, not the media spin. The PM just allowed the Pakistani side to provide the proof of their claim. He never uttered a single word to endorse the claim that India supports terrorism in Baluchistan. He did one thing good, which might not appease the hawks; de-linking terrorism from peace talk. And I believe this a good think to do.

And the Flip-flops, let’s talk..don’t talk..let’s talk..don’t talk

Congress was down and out after 1996. Nobody gave it a chance to be in power in 2004, but it came to power. It got elected the second time also.

The opposition house is much divided one. If theere is anyway Rahul can become the PM, it is only through the democratic process. If he can good...If he can not that is also good.

UPA I’s performance was average, we are discussing UPA II

Where am I passing the buck. Advani is doing that. He was the Home Minister and the de-facto Deputy-PM, but never bother to talsk about that. At least this govt. has penalized some people and got back some money. It at least signed double taxation avoidance treaty with around 70 countries, negotiated with Swiss govt. to treat it equally with UK and other European countries while seeking information from the Swiss bank.

Names/Action??

Till you get rid of SC & ST benefit, you should not have any problem with others. What is the point of view of BJP regarding the reservation; go and check their stand.

Reservations for the minorities, why not EBC, wasn’t the same vote bank politics

You still did not understand. My point is don't you think NDA govt. have not done that. Whether it is that difficult to know. That s what my theme of my reply.

But by the way, what is the problem in doing that. It would show the representation of a section of society in the army. It will help the policy makers to mke the army more inclusive and that will strengthen the unity of this country whose existence is based on the same principle.

What happened to we are secular?

Look I am from a family who employs some people for agriculture. I am from odisha. There, people are only involved in regular non-cash crop like rice, mung. These produce fetch less money to farmer though experience shows our investment is much higher. Still, I have not seen any case of suicide there. Because, no farmer takes bigger loan.

Shouldn’t the Government own responsibility?

 

[pt1982]

The failures of congress

1. They have introduced schemes where a person is given guaranteed employment, availability of work or not, which is leading to non-availability of labour for the farmers who are not so rich to afford big machines and now cannot afford cheap labour despite the living standards remaining the same. People are getting lazy, seen from my eyes.

MNAREGA a scheme which has benefited the person for whom this has been targeted. The best thing about this apart from the guarantee of work is to increase the wage to a respectable level. It has certainly reduced the availbility of labor as right now my home renovation is facing the problem. But, then this might cause problem from me, but they are getting good money is good. My work can be done in a later date. But their empowerment should not stop. Their living standard has increased the proof...the way the rural market saved the day for the iNdian economy in 2008/2009. Rural India is now an attractive destination for FMCG companies.

To counter this, unproductive side effect, the new MNAREGA 2.0 is a good step forward. here the focus has shifted to skill development programs.

2. Congress even in paralysis does not want to let go of the proverbial 'kursi' even after knowing that the allies are only about the word instead of the meaning

How many times Mamata left Vajpayee Cabinet? Alliance politics is difficult to manage.

3. Social media is being scuttled like anything, any thing anti to them should be taken down. How does it effect the common citizens.

Which media has been scuttled? Why should one post defaming the other anonymously. Use the media responsibly....if you want to have freedom, then other has the right of honor. Have some concrete fact approach SC as 2G licenses were cancelled.

4. Another big scam in the making in AP read Jagan Mohan reddy and YSR.

If there is any scam, the court is ceased of the matter. You did not cite Punab, Uttrakahnd, Karnataka and Gujurat (CAG reported loss of 30k crore and Modi did not allow a debate on that in assembly)

5. Food inflation has remained consistently high

Agriculture is a state subject. Ask Modi what is the price of potato in Ahemadabad. I don't want to say centre has no role, but state has a role too.

6. Please tell me the new economic policies introduced?

Please tell me which new economic policy was introduced in UPA 1.

7. Trying to now play the Muslim vote bank for reservations

BJP played Ram card to come to power.

8. Neopotism in the biggest party in the country. Why Pranab Mukherjee was not selected as the PM for UPA 2, cause he was not a puppet.

Do you expect Congress to choose the PM candidate for BJP?

9. 2G scam, people think they are thankful for the low cost of mobile bills. A hungry person will not eat his cell-phone, get real.

If govt. is rolling out any service, that should not be targeted for a particular strata of the society. It should be able to available to the as many people as possible. It has.
For hungry person, govt. is planning to get food security bill. Help the govt. to feed the hungry.

10. PM being an economist, no real economic reforms, FDI was shot down by Mamata not BJP, clear your facts guys.. and for BJP to support them were they taken into confidence? How do you wish a party to support you without even discussing it with them. How unrealistic can people get here!

Has BJP supported the FDI in parliament? The answer is no the way they were protesting against it in Parliament. The party in 2004 advocated for 100% FDI. Do you think, they needed to discuss.

11. What has Congress Govt has done to reduce the dependency on Oil based products? Nothing.

Which govt. has done that? I think Nuclear deal is in that direction. India is investing more in solar R&D after China. India has now a clear policy framework to go ahead in renewable sector.

[/QUOTE]
12. Interest rates have remained high, how does it effect the entrepreneurs?

Of course if the world economy is in bad shape, you don't expect comfort at home.

13. Tax on Captial gain, is that a joke?

Why? If you gain by exploiting the market provided by the country in which you put money you should pay.

14. LCA inducted into the Air force without FOC, joke of the year..

Good....then laugh. How does it a failure. It is on the verge of becoming the reality.

15. I forgot to add the Lokpal fiasco and the biggest one[/QUOTE] UPA is in majority in Loksbha and it got passed. NDA is in majorty in Rajyasabha and it could not be passed there. To conclude who wants the lokpal bill does not need much brain.

16. UPA-2 tried to dilute RTI bill, the worst thing it could.

UPA 1 brought the bill. Even if they have tried to dilute it it was never materialized. By the way, states like MP has raised the price of application to 500.
