Five Years of UPA: Bluffing the Aam Admi

Tue, 2009-03-10 18:31 — subhanil

The five years of Congress led UPA Government's economic policy making was enmeshed in neo-liberalism under the garb of working in favour of the aam admi. An analysis of the economic performance of the UPA only shows that the UPA Government's policies bypassed the aam admi.

CPI(M) Politburo Statement on the Interim Budget

Mon, 2009-02-16 14:43 | CPI(M)

In view of the global economic crisis and economic slowdown, the UPA Government could have announced at least its intention of providing relief to the people through massive increase in public investment in agriculture, rural development, social sectors and infrastructure besides steps to protect workers and farmers from lay offs and price crashes.

During the last one month, the UPA Government has been doling out concession and relief at jet speed to the airlines – more precisely the two private airlines viz Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines, who now share 60 per cent of the domestic aviation market.

Resist This Undermining Of Our Parliamentary Democracy

''To the best of one’s knowledge, the session which was summoned on July 17, 2008 primarily to enable the trust vote on July 21-22 will now end somewhere in the third or fourth week of December, if one were to believe the government.

Parliament has hardly been treated with such utter contempt ever before.''
