India needs alternative policies to prevent rise of communalism – Hindustan Times
On the two most important issues before the Indian people — growing economic burdens and relentless price rise and unscrupulous loot of our resources through corruption — there is very little to choose between the Congress and the BJP in terms of their policies.
Both the BJP and the Congress pursue similar policies of economic reforms that facilitate profit maximisation by foreign and domestic corporates at the expense of the Indian people. On the issue of corruption, there is very little difference between the two when they had governments. Recollect that when major corruption scams like the ones on 2G spectrum or coal allocations rocked Parliament, there was a sort of ‘match-fixing’ between the Congress and the BJP. The BJP was never prepared for a thorough discussion on these issues lest skeletons from the cupboard of the earlier NDA government stumble out.
What the country, more importantly the people, needs are alternative policies that can prevent such large-scale loot of our resources through corruption, and economic policies that marshal our resources to improve the welfare of our people rather than for maximising corporate profits. The people are in search of such an alternative.
