JAIPUR: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday said the country was
passing through difficult times and the economic growth in the current
fiscal would be 7 per cent, down from 8.5 per cent a year ago.

"Our country is going through difficult times ... We are up to the
task of meeting these challenges we face as a nation", he said while
addressing the 10th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas being attended by over
1,900 overseas Indians.

Despite an adverse international environment, Singh said, "the Indian
economy is expected to grow by about 7 per cent this financial year
ending March 31."

All the govt (both central & state) has been looting the country for
last 62 years (UPA, NDA, congress etc)....and of course, few rich
industrialists as well.....But cong has ruled almost 50yrs, that's why
I was very particular about congress....they hav shown no respect for
the 70 yr old Anna hazare; first they spread wrong info abt him, then
tried to break the team and then making all posible allegation against
the team members......BJP, RJD etc are jst trying to take advantage of
the situation....but from heart, they never supported lokpal
bill.....how we should respond or react? The way, govt is filing cases
against the activist, it seems that they want to teach a lesson to all
AAM admi that "dont cross the line"...........these MPs & MLAs jst
forgt that they are servants of people, not the kings.........

India will continue like this. The country is stuffed and the
politcial system is spineless. The country cant even build roads and
all the attempts has been spectacularly a joke as there is no lane
discipline, at night people drive on hig-beam, lorries do 10kph in all
three lanes overtaking each other, road signs are non-existant and the
ones that are has chronic spelling mistakes. Guys I even had to give
bribe to a customs officer at an international airport in Novemeber
2011.What more can i say?

Mr. Prime Minister, the joints of your Chair become weak and loose and
in such a condition that the same can be collapsed at any movement.
This is becuase of a spine less Prime Minister. You are not able to
take firm decisions but support the corruption. The expections of the
common man are spoiled by you. You are simply like Mayavati or
Jayalalitha or Lallu.

Dear PM,we hv been passing thru difficult times ever since we became
independent, if we go by the statements of our ruling elite during the
last 60 years ( except probably during 2003-04, when the ruling NDA
leaders - or was it only the BJP leaders - talked about INDIA SHINING
, but their detractors said it was only on the surface and the
electorate proved them right! ). So what is new about it and what do
you intend to do about it? Do you have an implementable Road-map to
turn arround the situation? Else, what is the use of such statements?


Basu (USA)

08 Jan, 2012 09:53 PM

This is happening because of you. You are the weakest prime minister
in the history of India. DMK along with congress looted the country
and you are numb. You can not take bold decision that helps country's
economy while so called your policy makers spend time to save
corrupted people and their black money instead of brilliant ideas that
may support country's growth. Now you are using soft tricky words to
touch people's most sensitive site to get sympathy as well as to
divert people's attention from corruption and your inability to
develop the country.

All these 6 years you were talking about curtailing inflation , but
failed and now you are rewarding the Nation’s patience with another
bad news. After being a mute spectator and allowing your high command
and allies to loot the nation – 1.76 lakh crores in 2G, Tens of
thousands of crores in CWG , 2 lakh crores in Godhavari basin scam ,
daily looting of Indian public on artificially inflated food prices
thru the twisted mouth sharad pawar , highest fuel prices and if the
hundreds of billions looted money is put in safe haven and Swiss banks
abroad – definitely the country will go through difficult times except
you and your friends , so called Mr. Clean? Prime minister.

08 Jan, 2012 08:36 PM

Dear Mr PM what data do you use to calculate our GDP could you let the
people of India know. For the Last 60 years we couldn't get our census
right. Every time you open your mouth you just talk about GDP and
inflation. Could you get to the core of governance Provision of Health
Care Facilities, Schooling for Kids Employment Relations, Roads and
Infrastructure, Security, Power. water. Its congress and the Gandhi
family which has been ruling India since Independence & the situation
in the country is pathetic. The British had given us a larger India,
Honorable Nehru gave out Pakistan and Lost the China War. Now that we
have lost the North East........

Dear Dr. Singh, India has been passing through troubled times from the
past 65 years because of the corruption scandals your party has
delivered to the citizens. I don't believe you a single bit and I have
completely lost whatever little respect I had for you in my mind. Time
and again the only thing which you and your finance minister have done
is give false assurances about the dip in inflation from the past two
years. There has been no change in the inflation rate at all. On the
contrary, it just kept on rising and rising. I seriously doubt what
kind of Ph.D. did you do in the field of Economics from the University
of Cambridge?

ROGER RUPANY (HONG KONG)

MR. PM MM, NO NEED TO MAKE STIUPD INDIAN JANTA. EVERY BODY NOW COME TO
