In his recent address
to the nation justifying hike in diesel price and FDI in multi-brand retail,
the Prime Minister cautioned the people that “money does not grow on trees”. Dr.Manmohan
Singh also said that the UPA was “voted to office twice to protect the
interests of the aam aadmi”. But the government of the aam aadmi splurged
nearly 2.9 million rupees to celebrate the third anniversary of UPA 11
(courtesy: RTI querry of Hissar – based Ramesh Verma).While the Planning
Commission estimated that 22 rupees a day would be enough for an aam aadmi in
rural areas to subsist, a whopping amount of 7,721 rupees per meal was spent on
the UPA dinner: that is an aam aadmi’s Planning Commission – prescribed amount
for 350 days. Further, of the 603 invitees, only 375 turned up. What a criminal
waste of money? Unless money grows on trees, how could the government be
extravagant?
