The Common Minimum Programme of Congress
Over at rediff.com, I just read the CMP of the United Progressive Alliance (Congress and it allies).
One point made was that "All regulatory institutions will be strengthened to ensure that competition is free and fair. These institutions will be run professionally."
LOL!!!! Perhaps they should read up on what constitutes "competition".
The CMP is laden with more social than economic growth. The repeated connotations to "rural prosperity" & "poverty abolishment", keeps making me think of more elaborate state expenditure. Those taken out of context are great, but whose money are they going to drain to achieve it. Thats the question.
