Blame game serves no purpose. The situation now calls for all to stand united and give go ahead signal to the Government to take up policies and programmes that will improve economic condition of all people living in the country. Prime Minister Dr. Manmohon Singh opened his heart and mind yesterday when he addressed the nation on DDK on the following issues FDI, diesel price hike and LPG cylinder. He categorically stated that no Government wants to put burden on its own people. He compared the present situation with that happened in the early nineties. A major decision taken then in 1991 during Narasimha Rao regime when he was the Finance Minister averted the catastrophe that loomed large. Earlier India survived by mortgaging gold. The present situation is little different from what happened in the past. But the situation now calls for allowing foreign direct investment in retail sector as it will improve financial position of the country. He was of the view that the country and its people will reap fruit from such policy. He came down heavily on the opposition parties, which misled the common masses on the issue. He defended Government decision to subsidise only six cylinders per family saying this will not affect the economy of the poor and common masses. More gas is used by rich families. Rich families can afford the gas at its original price. But the opposition parties do not trust the UPA Government on these issues. They even went to the extent of calling Bharat bandh and Trinamol Congress withdrew support to the UPA Government. Congress might have been heaving a sigh of relief when Trinamol separated ties with UPA. Mamta’s party was a liability to the smooth sailing of UPA. She will lose. Left Front has gained. This will be revealed when the elections are held in West Bengal in the near future. The entire masses understand what is happening in the country. Amazingly opposition and Trinamol Congress think otherwise. In the name of fighting for the common masses more problems had been created. Manmohon Singh was worried when the Government ideas on the matter were misinterpreted by the opposition parties. So, he took the microphone himself. Having heard his statement everything stands out crystal clear. It is time his Government go ahead with all the policies it has unveiled. The general masses are desperate to see what comes out after the implementation of FDI. A leader like Dr. Manmohon, who was hailed in the past as the best Finance Minister for the bold decision taken when he was Finance Minister under the Narasimha Rao regime cannot be misconstrued. But he needs support from all. He has openly said future generation will not pardon present regime if it fails to take up bold and gigantic task of improving economic condition of the country. What more are you looking for. We all are behind you. Go ahead. India with one billion people cannot live with begging bowls. If the entire people of the country are convinced opposition cannot be the exception. They too are representatives of the people. Having heard the prime Minister’s address to the nation their thinking on the matter too might have gone sea change. There will be no more resistance to the FDI. Let the fruit be reaped early.
