Dear Prime Minister, we need your help


Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
Well said, though you have turned topsy turvy your own set of economic ideas. Believe me we understaqnd the pressures you labour under. We know the perils of holding together coalition govt's. We know that your message is for the upstart corporates of India and is not directed to the pioneers - the corporate houses who laid the foundation of business in India. They have always done whatever you have outlined in your ten point charter.But tell us Mr. Prime Minister what happens when corporates who already have been doing all this, are penalized and grouped together with the upstarts ? Today the rage and trend in this country, specially with politicians and self proclaimed activists is to rabble a rouse around land acquisition. Their arguement - the poor people are being mauled. They seem to want the poor to remain poor and continue to be their vote banks. Can, you group the Good, the Bad and the Ugly together ? Is that not a wrong practise. My heart, and i am sure millions of Indian hearts bleed when they see how in many areas the poor farmers are being denied a better life as a handful of scoundrel politicians want to exploit the situation to bargain power for themselves. I am sure you are aware of the small Bihar township called jamshedpur and how one Indian corporate changed the life of its inhabitants. If that is not doing great community work, then there never will be any. But alas! how today they are being hounded in neighbouring states by poor misguided farmers. What is the solution for such incidents ?
Yes, Prime Minister, we request an answer. Probably you need to intervene and counsel the farmers. I am sure, your counsel and message would be impactful and will open the eyes of the poor misled farmers.
regards
