No, scrapping or signing the deal will have no impact on these poverty levels. The actions needed to alleviate poverty are manifold, including power generation. There are many options, to be explored in the short to medium term to generate power. None, will come on a platter - the way MMS seeks it through this deal.Kanson wrote:So, scrapping the deal will alleviate them from poverty ?ShauryaT wrote: And, you think this deal will solve those levels of poverty. Do you have any idea of the kind of waste in the Indian system, the level of loot and just scraping that from the outside will yield a lot more results towards alleviation of poverty than any such deal.
So, with the other party in power you achieved everthing ? All are same donkeys from the same pond.[/quote] First, I am not here to defend or tout the actions of the BJP, when in power. That is a red herring, as far as this deal is concerend. Second, you are again, taking a broad stroke to describe ALL parties leaders, in the same brush stroke. A serious fallacy in my view.Now, go figure, which party has been most responsible for our system of waste? Which party, even today, stands in the way of basic reforms of the state machinery - today? Which party has promoted the mai baap government culture and continues to do so, with NREGS as its symbol of crowning glory as opposed to disinvestment?
If not for this deal, India will continue to be in the dark and the city will never have those shining lights as seen in the west, when a plane lands at the airport, in the middle of the night.
Who is afraid of globalization here? If anything, I believe we should be running at 200 miles per hour towards it. Just at acceptable costs.Its like saying without globalization &opening of the market, we could have achieved the present status in the sametime.
Please learn to differentiate between the fear based objections of the left and the self interests based arguments of others.
I completely understand, why some members support this deal. The people, I have come to resepect, who support this deal, feel it is a compromise, in order to move ahead on the economic front and away from the world of sanctions and anyways, as time moves on and with our growing strength, we will have more flexible options in the future. I respectfully, disagree.
A compromise of this kind today, will have a lasting impact on the interests of India and its capabilites in the future.
