Mr. PM, what a move!

This is by far the lowest point in Moral-Politics in India. A minister as incompetent as our current FM (whose head was demanded by UPA allies themselves) is sought to become India's Home Minister in its' hour of crisis.

How on earth can we forgive the largesses meted out to farmers when an impending financial crisis was looming. The writing was on the wall, and our FM went about doling freebies when savings were the need of the hour. Rs. 8,00,00,00,00,000/- were sqandered away by our Home Minister in playing appeasement politics. My only question here is "Why he not do so in the first year of power and present a roadmap to earning it back without too much taxation? Why the last year of its' regime?"

The same FM, was extremely docile when India was stuck with Financial Crisis, and immediately ducked under the table and has now been moved to Home Ministry. Where is the accountability?
