UPA has failed to empower people.
Not all the rhetoric of Shashi Tharoor (IE,July 23) can hide the fact that UPA has failed the people.As Pratap Bhanu Mehta has pointed out (IE,July11) roads building has almost stopped, power is still a scarce commodity, education sector has become a money-making business, manufacturing industry is not growing and the Indian businessmen are looking abroad for opportunities to invest, farmers are committing suicide and inflation is raging. Instead of improving infrastructure, reviving industry and supporting agriculture (with irrigation,credit,marketing etc),UPA has busy with 100 days of work, right to education, and now with food security. UPA's right-based strategy will not eradicate poverty but fatten the pockets of middlemen, bureaucrats and politicians. UPA has not heard the famous Chinese proverb that it is better to teach fishing to people than give fish. Can we build our country on doles ?
