This is going very quickly from<p><pre><code>  &gt; Nothing to worry about, I trust the people in charge
  &gt; to do the right thing, after all they did show better

to<p><pre><code>  &gt; We hope the people in charge know what they are doing

The worst part is this (Narendra Modi&#x2F;BJP led) government is enjoying popular support these days due to the progressive steps that they have taken as far as public spending on development and infrastructure are concerned. These appear to be well thought out and are pro-development (albeit might also be involved in cronyism)<p>However, in this one instance the government seems to think that Facebook&#x27;s Free Basics thing is a &#x27;Good Thing&#x27;. I hope better sense prevails !
