5 guarantees of congress have destroyed state economy of Karnataka. Even CM's economic adviser admitted this yesterday. There are growing voices resentment from ruling party MLAs of not getting MLALAD Fund for constituency. They have destroyed KSRTC. In himachal they'll be going to central government with a begging bowl, state finances are going in negative

[@Sawali_Sasu]

That's the state strategy. They'll ask more from center and then cry that center isn't helping. Effectively Karnataka is screwed.

These fools do not understand That giving 10000 to women means 1800 will come back to the government very quickly as GST of 18%, as women have immediate needs so they will spend this money. Then the shopkeeper will buy all the stuff again and as rural sales will increase, the income tax of shop keepers will increase. Shop keeper will buy more from wholesale, finally manufacturer of cosmetics, clothes, shoes etc will get that 10000 , they will invest in stock market their again they will pay tax. Government will get most of the money back as taxes, they give as cash transfer.

In Short, there needs to be A LOT of Bureaucratic reforms. PM Modi is one man and just like the rest of us, he too only has 24 hours. 24 hours mein kitna project review kar sakta hai? There will be projects he cannot review during a PRAGATI meeting. Babudom needs to start working together - Modi needs to crackdown on babugiri. PRAGATI meeting se sirf kaam nahi chalega.

I echo professor's thoughts on wrong Infra spends, in Madhya Pradesh Govt. has announced airport in Ujjain which would be of no use because there is already an airport in Indore which is only 60 KM away from Ujjain city and it hardly takes 60-70 mins to reach Indore airport from Ujjain. Such infra spends will not do any good.

The existing Modi Govt. Is facing flak for the budget ( from even hard core Modi supporters...especially the middle class). This govt. has done a lot and Modiji must understand that the relationship of the people of this country to him..has become a personal one ... We can cry in front of him because we know he will hear and he will empathise and act. Now if this was the Cong. Govt... We know there is no point... All these years...they milked the middle class too and the middle class just kept getting exploited.

[@tendrhurt]

Good discussion. However, some of the recommendations are not practical. E.g. Government supported employee training program. If create a program, every employer will want to take advantage of the program for all hires, not just the incremental hires. So the program will cost a lot more. Also, the employers don’t like training employees because the employees can get hired away by competitors once they are trained. I disagree that the infrastructure spend needs to more bottoms up. You need certain level of infrastructure nationwide for development. You can’t attract investment without infrastructure.

In my view, India’s biggest problems are its diversity, political system, and over population. India needs following revolutionary reforms to achieve China like growth: 1. The state must be created based on population rather than based on language, culture, religion, ethnicity, cast, etc. If any state’s population surpasses more than 3 cr, the state must be bifurcated immediately. 2. The state level parties are not allowed to participate in national election (loksabha) and the national level parties are not allowed to participate in state election. 3. To be eligible to vote in national election (Loksabha), one must have at least 12th pass qualification. 4. The selection of ministers in parliament must be based on meritocracy. For example, the elected member who has served in foreign service as an ambassador is only allowed to become a foreign minister. 5. Population Control Bill (Only 2 child policy). 6. One county One election

One disagreement Sir, Khatakhat will not be for 10 crore women. Assuming 20 crore of the bottommost poor households in India, (5 member on an average) only 4 crore women needs to be provided Rs 1 lakh translating to 4 lakh crore. The govt lost 2 lakh crore approx in cutting corporate tax that can be reimplemented. Further, GST collections will increase as these poor households won't spend in New York or Munich but in India. Rest is easily manageable by issuing 10 or 20 year bonds.

It's either BOT or PPP model, where the Companies and the govt. take some part of the risk by funding a portion of the road then give out the road to the companies for a few years so that they can recover their investment, after which the roads are transferred to the govt. The % of the govt investment is anywhere between 30-40%. It's not a small no. If govt has to fund everything then the road development would move at a snails pace.
