CAG nails the lies in UPAs "aam aadmi" claim

http://news.in.msn.com/national/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1827250&page=1

But it looks like Congress is losing its grip on ‘aam admi’, at least.According to reports, UPA government has fallen short of expectations and many of its schemes like NREGS (national rural employment generation schemes) are reported to be anything but dismal in all senses.

Even in key areas like ‘bijli-sadak-paani’ achievements has been nothing but poor, if one goes by the governments replies to the queries put forward by the MPs in the ongoing parliament session.With hardly any time left for the announcement of the general election dates, Prime Minister Manmohan Sing was reportedly upset with the report card at a recent meeting to review UPA flagship schemes.

According to a leading newspaper report, the funds to the tunes of Rs3000 crores in those two years were diverted from infrastructure development into the kitties of some NGOs, cultural organizations and spend for celebrations. When CAG asked for clarification, the government washed its hands off saying that it was not really aware of the actual expenditure of the things done with the money transferred to the bank accounts of NGOs, autonomous bodies and district authorities.


And does the government have any money of its own, NO
The government spends the money of the tax payer, of the small salaried person who struggles to keep his home, struggles to send his kids to school, struggles to take care of his aged parents. Only in India can we see tax payer money being handled so carelessly and spent with so much audacity. Refuse to pay taxes? The government will send the IT goons after you.
