Five years back when the Congress sneaked into power with support of the commies the world was about to embark on a liquidity fuelled binge which would end with the mother of all bubbles. As the Indian economy grew, inspite of the Congress, taxes were increased to stratospheric levels. In 2008 useless, parasitic civil servants were bribed by almost doubling their salaries costing hundreds of billions. Then all farmers' loans were waived costing further billions. More bribes were offered by promising rice at Rs. 3 a kilo. Once the results were in smaller parties have been bribed with ministerial posts resulting in the largest government ever with 79 ministers. Indian politicians being criminal beggars there will be demands for VIP status with resulting security, free bungalows, free cars, foreign junkets and countless other freebies. The hapless taxpayer will foot the bill for all these bribes which should keep the Congress in power for another five fruitless years. Meanwhile according to a thinktank, CMIE, Indian companies have lost Rs. 430 billion because of erratic power supply with voltage fluctuations. Will anything change? Doubtful. After all it is in the service of the naked aam aadmi that the Congress is khas.
