Subsidy for LPG is for families having combined income of rupees ten lakhs per annum with central government appealing those above the stipulated income-limit to voluntarily surrender subsidy. But instead of expecting voluntary surrender, Union Petroleum Ministry should ask to submit affidavits regarding total family-income to avail subsidy.

System will further reduce financial-burden on the exchequer because of LPG subsidy. At least LPG, if not pe...

But the sub-judice matter is about making availability of land for a grand Ram-temple at birth-place of Lord Rama, and not on worshipping the existing deity.

Make people work hard rather than making them beggars dependent on freebies Congress President has come with big pre-poll announcement to give rupees 72000 per annum to five crore families covering about 25 crores population in case his party comes in power. Poll-promise is gimmick in itself because Congress President has said that the scheme is planned to be introduced in phased manner without any elaboration of the term phased-manner. India would have been a developed nation if such allegedly pro-poor gimmick schemes would not have been allowed distributing free items or providing money without or nominal work just on paper like MNERAGA. Useless subsidies have tend to eaten up Indian economy like termites where most such subsidies in name of poor are misused by affording ones like ...
