Promises of Politicians??

Greetings,

It seems to have become an habit of politicians to make promises; without even thinking whether they will be able to fulfill them or not? How long would they need to fulfill this? Can't solely blame on the politicians; they do what they are good at but public needs to ask the right questions.

Recently, Mr Sukhbir Badal announces so many things in a single go that even factory of hajmola won't be enough to digest that. Metro Rail, World Class air ports, AC bus stands and buses, international lifestyle. What not..everything has been offered by Mr. Badal. The biggest irnoy is that all these promises are made just 5 days ahead of MC elections.

Badal Sarkar has already spent more than 4000+ crore. The plan is to invest 5000+ crore on Jalandhar. Did he ever think where would he arrange the funds from to do what he just said? I like the money being spent on development of much needed infrastructure but the public needs to see the strategic plans as to how this money will be raised, how will it be spent, when will it be spent. Money just doesnt keep flowing in from World Bank, IMF, Central Govt etc. If you really wish to scale well, you got to learn how to run your state with your own resources.

But anyway, those talks are already over. WHY? Elections are over. There are more important things to do..Captain, Chahal, Dera, Virk..list goes on.
