Before the elections the freeloading press was constantly reminding us about the reforms initiated in 1991 by Dr. Manmohan Singh, then Finance Minister and now the Prime Minister, and moaning the fact that being reliant on communist support he has been unable to carry out any reform in the last five years. Well, if he is such an honourable man of such high principles surely he should have resigned rather than hang on to his gaddi inspite of barbs about being a remote controlled PM. Perish the thought. Now that the Congress has won the freeloading press has changed tack completely. We are now being prepared for the fact that no reforms will take place and it will be much the same as before which means good old 'neta babu raj' wherein grand projects to help the aam aadmi will be announced only for taxpayers' money to end in the pockets of politicians and kleptocrats. The aam aadmi will be kept alive on a drip feed of small change so that they stay suitably grateful but remain hungry and naked. The private sector will be threatened with reservation for undeserving people who have barely managed to pass their school leaving exams. High taxes will cripple airlines and devious laws such as censoring the internet will be enacted to emasculate the educated middle class. The Congress cannot exist without the naked aam aadmi and will do everything to keep the people poor and illiterate as they have done for 50 out of the last 60 years. If we had a free press the Congress would not get away with its pernicious policies but our journalists also come from the same society that has been conditioned to beg for alms since independence. A freeloading press has been the biggest success of the Congress.
