Key Concerns :
[ A ]
Preparing “ Investment Estimates “ was never any serious
problem for us
5 years
ago ( on 07 April 2014 ), I had made
following estimates ,using BJP Manifesto of
2014 ( Don't Ask
" How " ? ) :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROJECT .................................... Approx
Cost ( Rs Lakh * Crores )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 100 Mega Cities........................ 90
# Interlinking of Rivers.................. 60
# Sagar Mala of Ports.................... 30
# Highways ( 25,000 Km ).............. 50
# Housing ( 100 mill
units )............ 100
# Rivers Cleaning.......................... 10
# Other Infra
Projects.................... 100
* Freight Corridors
* Gas Grids
* OFC Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total ..........................................Rs 430
Lakh Crores
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the current
“ Sankalp Patra ( new name for Manifesto ) “ of BJP, there is no mention of
precisely WHAT / HOW MUCH got actually achieved ( - a kind of REPORT CARD ) against
whatever “ Physical Targets “ were set
in 2014, - and using HOW MUCH investment !
Simple
Summary of Sankalp
[ C ]
How are those funds going to be mobilized ,
considering that :
# For the
past 2 years, Private Investment has dried up
# Govt is
seriously considering reduction in Personal and Corporate Income Tax
# Banks /
Financial Institutions are plagued by huge NPAs and unwilling to give loans
# Many
bankers are under investigations and more are expecting !
To me, getting BLACK MONEY to get into PRODUCTIVE
ASSETS , through AMNESTY SCHEME ( along the lines of Indonesia which last year managed
to raise $ 342 Billion through such a Scheme ), seems the only way out !
Dear Narendrabhai :
Even RAMAYANA and MAHABHARAT are having
incidences where Lord Rama / Krishna had to resort to ( apparently unethical )
MEANS in order to achieve ultimate GOOD !
