Dear Readers:

 

Every country in this earth has to face the wrath of nature; this is inevitable.

 

Even the lone Super Power United States has to face the wrath of hurricanes and tornadoes every year; they even create a pool of names for such forthcoming disasters. Had it been possible to destroy the so called "eye" of these hurricanes by a nuclear bomb, they would have done that already. Unfortunately, they can't.

 

But of late Bill Gates & a dozen of scientists have registered a patent for a "Hurricane calming Technology". Click To read

 

Where there is a will, there is a way. Last year after a flood Orissa demanded 2500 crores; center helped with 100+ crores. Congress led Centre don't have money to deal with disasters but they can divert the river linking money  to NREGA for creating dummy local project to generate short-term employment. NREGA projects are analogous or equivalents to the student projects or dummy projects of IT Industry, which are not revenue-fetching projects but keep the bench-engineers busy and gain some practical skills.

 

In 10 years, the amount we are going to spend , in  aftermath of floods, could be sufficient for a National River Linking Project. Our CIVIL Engineers are capable of development of  both long term and short term plans to deal with floods. But, for Ms. Sonia Gandhi, NREGA (Vote grabbing ) scheme was more important than Vajpayee's River Linking. Rs. 60000 crore farmer loan waiver was important than calming the river and utilize their water to improve irrigation water availability. Tamil Superstar Rajnikant had donated 1 Crore for the river-linked project after due appreciation. 

 

But, I wouldn't blame Congress because they are liberals , pro-socialists. They have been short sighted since last 60 years, that's why India has to wait for a Vajpayee to invest heavily on infrastructure projects such as National Highway, Golden quadrilateral and PM's Gram Sadak Yoyona. In a poor country, poor people wants every thing , even a job, from Government. Any party which will talk sense will be designated "anti-poor", however visionary they are. The long term benefits of a multi-billion dollar River Linking Project  would far outweigh the annual cumulative emergency flood expenses. In stead of waiving 60000 crore farmer loan, if the same amount were utilized for irrigation improvement across the nation, wouldn't that be better.

 

If you are an Indian Citizen and concerned about the sorry state of citizens and getting appeal of donations to PM's CM's relief fund every year - it is your judgement. The policy of the Government is responsible for the flood. Had there been any effort by the Union Government, like Bill Gates, to try a plan to link the rivers, however absurd that may they sound to certain far left liberals, I wouldn't have blamed them.

 

But, this has been a fashion. Every year millions of people will be affected by flood. States will demand 3000 crore more from Center and Center will pay about < 10 % of the estimated damage. Add in to that the salary of the resources and efforts of volunteers to deal with it.

 

In America, thousands of sand bags are kept in possible flood affected areas to minimise the impact of flood. If you are from a flood affected area, go an look out for such sand bags in your village, town or district ? Don't be surprised, if there are none. Neither they have any plan to deal with it nor allocate money for it.

 

Did you vote for Congress because you are a Muslim to feel safe and now affected by flood ? Don't complain - deal with it

Did you vote for Congress because you have got 90 days NREGA Payment and now affected by flood ? Don't complain - deal with it

 

It is a trade-off. You want to live in a better and prosper India, reject the short term vote grabbing schemes of liberal Governments, which includes Muslim appeasement, SC/ST appeasement. Mohammad Azharuddin, the match fixer MP, not only get elected but was sent to villages to solidify the SC/ST Vote bank of Congress on Gandhi Jayanthi day. Don't buy the Rs 2/- kg rice unless you are widow with no income or an ageing old man with no income.

 

It is the duty of the Government to create opportunities, environments for profit making enterprises in your locality , which will create  jobs for locals. Conservative Governments across the world follow this policy, while liberals think that tax the rich and distribute them among poor for free (Rice Kg. 2/- ) and raise their expectations from Government. e.g. If Karunanidhi gives a Color TV to family for free, expect a bike or car from Jayalaitha or next election expect some thing else from Karunanidhi. When you give your vote for a color TV, where the money will come for linking the rivers ? Your free color TV and your tiny house may become victim of flood.

 

So, if your country is in bad (Congress) hands and still you are not aware of it, it is time to wake up - please don't complain. If you haven't voted Congress, you did a good job and at least not a partner in the crime  of abandoning the river linking scheme.

 

There are consequences for bad decisions; it is important to understand the long term adverse affects of socialist and liberal policies, which you have been enjoying so far. So please deal with it now yourself.

 

Thanks

Manoj Padhi
