A bird in the bush seems better!

A bird in the bush seems better!

The sharp drop in the rate of interest on FDs on which those seniors who have no income from pension or other sources depended in the past, a 100% or more inflation presented to us as only 5-6% during the past 3-4 years, leaving the banks free to fleeeeece the depositors by introducing new charges for every banking activity which did not exist before, including the failure to maintain a minimum balance in the PM’s scheme for every Indian to have a bank account with no requirement for a minimum balance, and the depositors’ money not being safe anymore, forcing a digital culture in a country dominated by the illiterate, without a feasibility study, demonitization, without any warning or legal procedures,  which caused havoc and took the lives of  more seniors than ever before in history, leaving the healthcare in the country in a disarray and in the hands of the corrupt, leaving the police in the country to work 24x7 to fine two-wheeler drivers driving without a helmet (and now with a half helmet), instead of catching the bank looters and preventing them from leaving the country, is a recipe for disaster.

 The farmers - the "annadatAs" are still committing suicide and the poor are still going to bed hungry.

 The hungry cannot eat the progress reports on the initiatives, published in both print and electronic media for which crores of rupees are being spent. The poor want just two square meals, which they did not have before and they do not have even today.
