Austerity Drive- Holy cow shit!


( I have updated the title of this post after Shashi Tharoor's tweet!!)

There is lot of news these days regarding the Congress Working Committee's (CWC) so called austerity drive where all the politicians of congress would keep their life simple and they will travel by economy class. Day before yesterday Sonia Gandhi travelled in economy class flight and then last night Rahul Gandhi travelled by Shatabdi Express economy class, though the stones were pelted on the train midway by some hooligans. But I think this is just another crazy shit method of Congress to gain some popularity and driving away attention of people from more important real issues.

But the dice thrown by Congress seems to be hurting themselves. We know how much people's money these politicians waste every day. They all have occupied posh areas of New Delhi and everyday we see so much money wasted on their security. These people want to live their life king size, every now and then creating traffic jams when they travel here and there in the city.

My humble request to Mrs. Pratibha Patil to vacate the Rashtrapati Bhawan (President House) now. What's the use of living in a more than 100 room building. Come on, you can easily find 10 bedroom posh house in New Delhi. We guys pay property tax. What you pay Mrs. Patil? Occupying 100 room building without paying property tax.

If Congress really wants to remove poverty from India, there are whole lot of issues to concentrate rather than harassing Indian public by traveling in economy class because of your security concerns.
