Better than the US.

Following the power outage on 30 July lasting for over 12 hours across 9 states affecting 300 million people the power ministry assured everyone that the fault would be fixed. So, of course, on 31 July the power outage affected 13 states and 600 million people. In response to criticism the Power Minister, Sushilkumar Shinde said," We got electricity in a matter of hours.... people should appreciate how work is done at the grid." Not content with this piece of inanity he went on to compare this with an outage in some states in the US in 2003 which took 4 days to fix. " I have briefed the PMO ( Prime Minster's Office ).....in the USA light ( electricity ) does not come for 4 days, here we got it ( restarted ) in a matter of hours," he said. Oh yes! The US is represented at the London Olympics by Michael Phelps and India by Suresh Kalmadi. Need we say more? So what did our Dear Leader do to reward such efficiency? He promoted Mr Shinde to be the Home Minister, a most sensitive post considering 4 IEDs exploded in Pune on 1 August. These have all the hallmarks of the Indian Mujahiddin but Mr Shinde refuses to call this a terrorist attack. He used to be a sub inspector in Mumbai Police and has sneaked in through the Rajya Sabha, just like the Dear Leader. In February 2010 a blast at the German Bakery left 17 dead and 60 injured. At that time a CCTV camera at the north main road was not functioning. Not surprising that the case remains unsolved. Following the German Bakery bombing the police asked for 837 CCTVs but Pune Municipal Corporation installed only 79. However, the PMC left it to the police to activate the cameras while the police thought the Municipality will do it. Consequently the cameras at Dena Bank and McDonald's were not functioning. Maharashtra Home Minister, RR Patil said that the Mumbai police have received " sufficient " CCTV footage from cameras set up by private shops. Needless to say Maharashtra has a Congress government. On 18 February 2007 a bomb went off in the Samjhauta Express, which links Delhi to Lahore twice a week, killing 68. On 1 July 2009 the US Treasury and UNSC placed sanctions on Lashkar-e-Taiba for the bombing and named one Arif Qasmani as having played a role in the attack. However, a Lt Col Purohit and Swami Aseemanand are in police custody for the bombing. On 8 September 2006 a bicycle bomb, just like the ones in Pune, went off in a Muslim cemetery in Malegaon. It had all the hallmarks of Indian Mujahiddin but the police are holding Sadhvi Pragya Kumari Thakur. After the Mumbai attacks of 2008 the Congress blamed Hindu extremists. While the Congress is whitewashing terrorist attacks on India it has allowed Pakistan to open businesses here and given permission for 2 banks to open branches. The ISI now has a direct route to finance its killers. Meanwhile the US is cutting aid to Pakistan and insists that it has the right to use drones to blow up anyone it wants. That is why the US is safe and we continue to die. Only the most thick skinned moron will compare the two.
