Austerity

Austerity drive taken by union govt has had hardly any impact on masses.Image of political personalities in our country is generally very poor. India is the largest democracy in the world and here transfer of power from one political group to another takes place smoothly and peacefully unlike our neighboring countries. Ours is a democracy that is based on solid foundation and democratic values are deep rooted in our people’s psyche. But unfortunately, we’re as proud of our political system as we’re disgruntled with our politicians We always question their honesty and integrity and even 'politics' is sometimes used as a dirty word.However,in general corruption is now part and parcel of our life. Corrupt practices are not only confined to high places but they’re very common in every walk of life. So public look upon so called austerity measures adopted by govt as a ploy to divert their attention from serious issues like unprecedented price rise and drought. In other words the austerity move is nothing but unmitigated hypocrisy to hoodwink people!
