In a speech to the Confederation of Indian Industries ( CII ) on 24th May, the Hon'ble Prime Minister made two points. The first point was that they should refrain from ostentation as in expensive marriage parties. But sir, may I grovellingly ask ' have you never read about the marriage parties of the criminal offspring of your political colleagues?' Goons of the Rustic Buffoon raided car dealers and made off with new cars waiting for delivery. The Southern Fat Lady claimed that her foster ( bastard? ) son should have a marriage befitting Her status and a very fat status it is too. The second point was that they should refrain from price increases through cartelisation. Sir, if I may grovellingly point out, it was the licence permit raj of the Congress Party which allowed Indians to be ripped off for 50 years by giant monopolies. In the sixties you would wait two years for an Ambassador car which cost Rs. 30000. For that much money you could buy land and construct a decent bungalow in Delhi. Even now your government levies huge taxes on plane tickets to force people to use the railways. The ticket price for the Dehradun Shatabdi has just been increased from Rs 535 to Rs. 565 but the train is always late and the coaches are full of cockroaches. I hope you have taken delivery of the seven Embraer luxury jets for yourself and your VVIP colleagues. What's that? It is all for the benefit of the aam aadmi? My grovelling thanks to you sir.
