Being socialist is compulsive emotion in Indian democracy

Congress party is going agog about the Food security bill so much so that it could not wait for even monsoon session to begin, which is not even a fortnight away. For the bills such as women reservation and lokpal, it always countered that they need to go through the parliamentary process but didn't even  blinkered to pass the ordinance on food security. This BRAHMASTRA they were holding for the eve of elections. They find it equally potent and election certainty as MANREGA and loan waiver scheme proved to be in 2009.It doesnt matter what the country will eventually pay for this generosity!!!
The problem is the people sitting in opposition also cannot oppose this vehemently as they are also compulsive socialite. Everyone knows this 1.25 lakh crore or 65 Mt of food grain would be huge burden to the government exchequer in years to come but who will raise the voice? let the country see its dooms day, we will continue to toe the socialist line because this brings votes. Those who understands this will not stand in the voters queue and those who only understand "do time ki roti"  will hardly bother for the fiscal deficit, will have a reason to press the button of the election machine. 
Unfortunate part is ,we live in democracy where everyone has equal rights and no matter who is their leader, it's their duty to give free virtues and make their constituency continue to look ugly  and convert them to languid from laborious. By speaking my mind out, I would be perhaps bracketed as one who doesn't have to fight a election so ...can write this . But dear left, and right and centrist.....can't you stand up for the sake of the future of this country? doesn't this intrigues your mind? who is going to pay for it? no one likes poverty but there are other methods to remove poverty. Not by providing freebies, but making people skillful, providing opportunities to learn, earn and grow. These will not only give them rice but will give them chicken, meat, fish, egg, milk, fruit and whatever they want to.Am I sounding capitalist ?. It s close to 70 yrs since independence and we cannot blame the Britishers any more for killing our industries, it's we and our similar policies which is leaving us way behind the rest.
This is only going to fill up the already full pockets of FCI babus. I read that FCI is going to recruit some 11000 additional employees to rollout this plan. One thing is assured there will be 11000 lesser poorer people in this country and so will be some wealthy farmers , who will open food granaries to sell their grains and store with themselves. We already have a inefficient food distribution system on which a book can be written and still it will be incomplete. 
I hope my compulsive vote catcher pseudo socialistic leaders would have given a little bit of thought on it...how will you get this much of grain? how it is going to be distributed and who is going to bear the 1.25 l crores? 
don't forget with 4 % growth rate, our coffers are going to be emptied much faster and we will still have many other subsidies to take care....
I am not against the poor but against any freebie, why not focus to improve competitiveness of nation rather than taking a step backward. The repercussions will be too huge.

  1. Nice comment by ultimate thinker to set freebie outside the arena of vote bank...but the poor perhaps don't know the burden behind there" DO TIME KI ROTI"....if once they know that fact, it becomes difficult to digest THE FREEBIE....
