View Photo »Despite the adverse economic conditions of the global economy, we are hopeful that because of the steps taken by the government, we will see a reduction in inflation from March 2012
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi have promised to the nation that the Lokpal bill will be passed in the upcoming parliament session. We are watching the situation carefully and, for now, hoping that they would keep their word
I am confident that foreign direct investment in retail will help to bring modern technology in the farm sector, less wastage and more jobs
The trial is not proper against the terror accused in Pakistan, while Prime Minister Manmohan Singh terms his Pakistan counterpart as a man of peace...It is unfortunate
We believe that it will bring modern technology to the country, improve rural infrastructure, reduce wastage of agricultural produce and enable our farmers to get better prices for their products. The differential that exists today between wholesale and retail prices will reduce and consumers will get c...
I had made an appeal to the Prime Minister Shri Manmohan Singh in the month of April 2011 requesting him to grant a pardon under Article 72 of the Constitution to Dr Chishty
This will curb inflation and the common man can get daily essential commodities at lesser rates
We have received Dr Manmohan Singh's letter from the Indian High Commission in Dhaka but since madam (Zia) is outside Dhaka on a political programme, we are yet to know the contents
We have not taken this decision (on FDI) in haste. It is our firm conviction that the decision will benefit our country
That is a twisted question. I said Manmohan Singh was the then finance minister.
The decision on allowing FDI in retail was not taken in any hurry, but well considered
Oil prices have skyrocketed and there have been direct and indirect repercussions on the common man. I understand that unhappiness among people can be converted into anger. It is a difficult situation which the government under Manmohan Singh will overcome
MPs from Lok Sabha view issues differently from those of Rajya Sabha. People come in Rajya Sabha directly and as such they do not feel the pain of people the way Lok Sabha members, being in direct touch with voters, feel.
By allowing 51 % FDI in multi-brand retail, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his government have prepared the grounds for making poor villagers, Dalits jobless
MPs from Lok Sabha view issues differently from those of Rajya Sabha. People come in Rajya Sabha directly and as such they do not feel the pain of people the way Lok Sabha members, being in direct touch with voters, feel.
We want to bring laws, but the Opposition is not letting Parliament run. This betrays public trust.
The Right to Information is helping in bringing in transparency in the work of the government. We want to do more. In the coming days we will enact the Right to Food so that no citizen of our country goes hungry
We have taken so many initiatives, including fiscal initiatives. . . We hope by these measures, inflation will come down
I am confident that foreign direct investment in retail will help to bring modern technology in the farm sector, will improve rural infrastructure, reduce wastage of agricultural produce and enable our farmers to get better prices for their crops
For those who do not see benefits of FDI in retail, there are ways not to implement it
There is no compulsion on states to implement decision on FDI in retail
I am confident we will successfully face the global slowdown ... I expect inflation will sharply decline in the next few months due to government measures.
I don't think it is right time to take such a decision. It will finish off lakhs and crores of vendors and small shop-keepers...my submission to the PM is simple that this angle should have been taken into consideration. The majority of MPs in Lok Sabha on Monday felt it not correct. If a decision like ...
This is not the right time to take such a major decision
But if they do get into difficulties, we have to find ways and means to help them get out of the process.
