Bullet Train at a cost of Rs. 80,000 crore
Shivaji statue at Rs. 3600 crore
Vallabhai Patel statue
at Rs.2989 crores
... and many other projected spending that doesn’t seem the
need of the hour!
What we don’t want is Criminal negligence;
…like the Elphinstone Bridge Stampede incident which took
the lives of 23 and injured many
…like the Gorakhpur & Farrukhabad tragedy where over 100
kids died due to lack of oxygen
… like the recent Train derailments in UP or the ever
increasing farmers death and lack of attention to it!
What we do need is
… The best education
- need to improve education
standards for coming generations
- India ranks 92 in
education among 145 countries
… The best Healthcare
- need to have
increase access to quality healthcare for everyone
- India ranks 154 in
global healthcare
… The best Safety
- need to make the
country safer for women and the likes of everyone
- India ranked 101 &
141 on Safety Index & Global Peace Index respectively among 163 countries
The whole point is not to go against bullet trains or
statues or whatever, rather about setting priorities right. Isn’t Education, Healthcare,
Safety and likes make the basic need for people.
Shouldn’t a people’s government be willing to spend and
act on satisfying this before spending lavishly elsewhere???!
Hope it does for the betterment of people and the
country.
Jai Hind!!!
