India unveils $2.5B plan to electrify all households by end 2018
It&#x27;s highly ironic that the ruling party is now receding to the level of the previous govt that they destroyed in the 2014 elections. The UPA also used to offer free things to poor and used to do minority appeasement two years before the elections.<p>The thing is, this govt came to power in all but 4 Indian states and it has just destroyed the economy. The GDP rate has skid down to 4% just as the previous PM, Dr Manmohan Singh said it would and at that time, everyone mocked him.<p>Guess who is laughing now?<p>The current govt has failed absolutely at every way, the Demonetization exercise was a total and epic disaster and it shocked the economy without fulfilling it&#x27;s motive of &quot;war on black money&quot; as 99% of the invalid notes were returned to the RBI.<p>But that&#x27;s not the only problem, the problem is, this govt takes decisions just to win elections. DeMo happened just before UP elections after the &quot;surgical strike&quot; lost it&#x27;s glitter in the media.<p>Even the most ardent supporters of the current govt are asking the question, if the earlier govt was able to keep the GDP growth rate above 7 in horrible world economic condition, why is the current govt unable to do so even when the crude oil prices are half of what it was earlier?
