Nothing seems to change.

The Comptroller and Auditor General has checked 90,576 cases of farmer loans forgiveness and found serious discrepancies in 20,216 cases or 22.32% of the total. This was a Rs 520 billion scheme enacted in 2008 to win general elections in 2009. The CAG has raised " serious concerns about the implementation of the scheme ", especially about Rs 1.646 billion distributed through microfinance institutions in contradiction to the guidelines which specifically forbade distributing through any agency. The loans were to be forgiven by banks working with individual farmers. We may conclude that most of this money was pocketed for use as election expenses. In India elections are very expensive. Candidates need money to travel through their constituencies, which may not have proper roads, necessitating the use of helicopters and large numbers of SUVs. While the government is able to fund voter bribery schemes with taxpayer money candidates need cash to  bribe voters on the ground with bottles of alcoholic drinks, in the case of men, and saris or cooking utensils, in the case of women. This is clearly shown in 21,000 of 61,800 cases checked by CAG in which  there is no acknowledgement from farmers of the relief they had received and no certificate of debt write offs were provided to farmers. We can safely assume that all this money was pocketed which is the main aim of starting such schemes. In another scheme touted by politicians called the Integrated Child Development Services to supplement nutrition in children the CAG noted that more than 40% of children in 10 states were malnourished. 49% of children in Andhra, 82% in Bihar, 43% in Haryana, 40% in Jharkhand, 50% in Odisha, 43% in Rajasthan, 41% in UP and 50% in Delhi showed signs of being malnourished. Funds were being diverted for paying salaries and there was a lack of toilets and drinking water. 33-47% of children were not weighed for growth between 2006-7 and 2010-11. TOI, 6 March. With elections due in 2014 we wait to see what the Congress will come up with this time. A drive is under way to provide Permanent Account Numbers, needed for filing tax returns, to everyone, including housemaids and sweepers who will never earn enough to be liable to pay income tax. Meanwhile everyone is being forced to apply for Aadhar cards which incorporate photographs, iris scans and prints of all 12 fingers. This is apparently to supply government assistance to people. Since taxpayers are not eligible for any government assistance there is fear as to what nefarious tricks the Congress is up to. The Congress will remain a criminal organisation.
