Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Congressmen are Confused !







AAP made a few poll promises - prominent being ,


>   700 Liters of free water per month


>   50 % subsidy in power bills


And people of Delhi elected them to power


Then within 48 hours of forming government , AAP fulfilled these promises


Total cost  ?


Less than Rs 40 Crores / month


Congressmen are asking themselves ,


"   We promised Rs 200 Cr / month of freebies - and got thrown out of Rajasthan / MP / Chhattisgarh

   

    What went wrong  ?


    The more we promise , the more we lose  !


    And , to win 2014 elections , we have promised 600 million poor people
    a monthly subsidy of Rs 8,000 Crores by way of Food Security Bill


    At this rate , what will happen to us  ?


    It seems , the more freebies you promise , the greater your chance of being thrown out of power 
    

    And look at what Rahul Gandhi has promised the people of Amethi  :


   >   A railway coach factory

   >   A University

   >   A paper mill

   >   40 food processing units

   >   Indian Institute of Information Technology

   >   Footwear Design and Development Institute

   >   IT hub in Tikarmafi

   >   A railway line  ..................etc



  But Kumar Vishwas (  AAP  candidate for Amethi ) is promising only ,


  >    A clean / corruption-free / pro-poor government


No more  !


With just 5 months before the 2014 elections , how can our would-be Prime Minister , withdraw those promises  ?


And , since the logic of " Less is More " seems to work , does that mean Kumar Vishwas will defeat Rahul Gandhi  ?   "



And Rahul Gandhi is asking Sheila Dikshit :


>  Why , in 15 years , you did not implement what Arvind Kejriwal did  ?


>  Why you did not ask CAG to conduct an audit of Discoms  ?


>  Why you did not hold Mohalla - Sabhas  to connect with Aam Aadmi  ?


>  Why you failed to figure out that people wanted toilets, not highways  ?


Now , all of you , repeat after me , and loudly please


>    Less is More


>    Simple is Elegant


>    Adarsh is not Ideal


>    Aam is not Ordinary


>    CAG is credible


>    Jhadu will sweep


>    Congress will weep



     


Sheila Dikshit , Chidambaram , Kapil Sibal , Salman Khurshid , Jairam Ramesh , Manish Tewari , Kamal Nath , Digvijay - and sundry other Netas , are utterly confused !
