A casual article in one of leading english dailies announces that the Finance Minister, Mr. Mukherjee has decided to remove service tax on the transportation of food by rail and waterways. This tax was levied by the same Mr. Mukherjee in this year's budget after the Congress won elections held in May based on its heart breaking love for the aam aadmi. So now there will be no service tax on transport of edible oil, seeds, cereals, pulses,flour, fruits, vegetables, flowers, agricultural goods, fishery, marine produce, meat, poultry, water, tea, coffee and other food items. However this move is mainly rubbish because most fresh foods are moved by road transport which continues to attract service tax. Food inflation is already around 20% year on year so a 10% service tax on food is especially cruel and belies all the promises made by the Congress to win the election. This should have been pointed out by our press who analyse the budget but sadly mainstream newspapers are a propaganda arm of the Congress. They distort perception by printing only favourable stories, ignore all the lies and support Congress pseudo secularism by constantly abusing Hindus. Analyses of the economy by so called experts are falsely optimistic never discussing the dangers unlike in other countries where there is a frank debate about all the pros and cons. India faces dangerous enemies such as China, Naxals and Pakistan but a bootlicking press is probably the greatest danger faced by the country.
