Isn't this wealth destruction of another kind? 

(Apr 11, 2012)

The current situation has become so murky that every one is anxious to maintain or increase their group`s strength by any mean. Hence they hatch plans each morning to keep the strength intact.Scruples get a back seat.We know already that profession(?) of MPism pays most hefty than any other in India.They try best to cling to their for 5 yrs without rendering any service to the country.CM of west bengal has been plundering by asking for additional funds for development to spend imams by paying reatainership @Rs.2500/- per month.Is it an element of state`s development? Centre cautiously agrees to all her demands without any checks.Should not CAG poke its nose in such sanctions! These are from tax payers`money.West Bengal is facing fund crises left behind by former Left Front govt.But present govt has started spending in painting local parks`railings doubly and streets`lighting needlessly out of MLA`s local area development funds.Are these not wastages?CM begs to waste. But centre after some initial murmurs sanction her demands as UPA 2 are scared not to loose the strength of her nos.in Parliament.So no body cares the country but only for counting no.to stay UPA 2.I shudder at the thought of what kind of tsunami has been awaiting India.Only Occupy Wall Street perhaps may thwart to some extent.

The sad thing about Indian democracy is that there is not an iota of accountability among our elected representatives -- otherwise with the combined intelligence and financial acumen of the IAS guys ,many great things could have been accomplished-- You think they would not have deliberated on the options availbale ? So long as our elected folk think only about the next elections and amassing wealth when they are in power, things won't change. Maybe an annual performance review of each ministry/offical in public will help.regds

what was this regulator doing for all the four years.was they sleeping on the job.why shouldn,t we kick them out.what will happen to the tax & divdend the company has paid.on monday gujarat gas has increased prices of gas by 10-15% what this regulators are doing

While the objective of operationalising the power plants is important from the standpoint of generating power and thereby growing economy, the support from cash rish corporatons should be at market rates so that PSU do not subsise other companies. For example, averaging out the coal price based on Cal value of domestic+imported coal . In a free economy pricing should be a factor of demand and supply . When individuals pay for oil price at market rates why not cash rich corporations pay market price. The FSA however will improve productivity at CIL and make up and improve profitability further.

Does the Government has any other options to prolong its survival ? All Measures of last resort will be tried, till we go the Greek Way. The coalition rules must be changed. No political party has patriotic leaders they are all vote earners.

now on the one side all psu s are acting detrimental to the compnys interest and are platying to the tunes of politicians we small investors since disorganised the govt and its bureacrats taking advantage of
all investors should refrain from subscribing to public issues of psu boycott them
even sebi which is formed for the so called protection and education of small investor are having alrge sums of mony of 2000 crores why a regulator should have such ahuge reserves of money it is a simple loot from smll investors and sebi babus are buying property worth 280 crores to live apalatial life at whose cost infact cag has already pointed to give back or give it to central funds sebi is indirectly supporting all shady promoters to loot from the public otherwise why a share listed on first day should come down to rs 12 when its issue price is rs 150 sebi does not take any responsiblity and collect fees and watching the funand lot of so called consent orders are given which are appear to be be very shady . ithink a day will come when investors cant comment on sebi like supreme court /high court judges take for example sending of balcnce sheet of companies it is mandatory on the part of the company to send hard copy .and it goes on asking by mail to inform thwem wheter i need hard copy and if i need i should ask .why the hell i should go on asking each company after all with my money and banks money co has been formed and writing expenses of all nature and a company like nestle also does not send inspite of asking specifically the balance sheet hard copy before agm .the company gives one telephone number which no one picks up and it gives two tel no of registrar who informs that i should contact the company .and i had to speak to some sebi offiial to get a balance shhet which i am entitled to and that too after agm is over se the plight of investor.
in another case like kilburn chemicals numeric power the company has sold enire business with fixed assets for rs 900 crores and 100 crores and the co is yet to give anything to minority shreholders .sebi should make it mandatory that 30 to 40 percent should be given back to minority shareholders if more than 90percent of assets are sold .like this there are wholelot of isues
which can be fought in court and we can win .where is the time for small share holders a subramnia swamy or prsant bhushan should come to our rescue .so iniffect we have all lost interst in the capital mkt since it is always one sided barring very few companies which to find out is real art and very very few can only find

I have not seen a more inept and corrupt Government than what we have now.Central Government and State
governments compete with each other in proving which is most destructive and corrupt. As long as Political parties raise funds for electioneering, as long as large discretionary powers are
enjoyed by politicians, as long as no Balance Sheets are published by political parties and as long as donors names are held confidential, corrupt practices will continue.

Our country was looted by Md Gazni 19 times and later the invading forces decided to stay back rule and plunder. This was put an end to by colonial Powers which came for trading, slowly and gradually through unfair and corrupt practices established empires.They exploited the colonies for a couple of hundred years. Is not this wonderful? A limited Liability comPany gaining land masses of immense wealth and passing them on to the Crown which became crown colonies?

Similar things could happen. India may be sold/ sovereign wealth plundered without any body realising. Politicians are actively assisted by Corrupt Beurocrats and businessmen. Bharatmata ki jai.

I fully agree with your views. This government lacks any good ideas to steer country towards prosperity. It is using hackneyed old ideas like gold import duty. It is a throw back to the days before liberalization. It can not think out of the box and find imaginative ways to find solution to country's problems which is the need of the time to build up on last twenty years economic progress. It should take up some ideas from China in this matter though in democracy things may not be easy.

Its crystal clear that the government is unable to come out with any significant policy formulation - be it on defence, foreign policy, natural resource distribution, labour, social welfare, FDI, taxation or even the basic ones like education, health or infrastructure. In order to compensate for this, the government can announce doles like free power, unemployment/ old age allowance or free lunch of any kind. We have the highest ratio between the income of our MPs and MLAs and the average citizen and in return we get the most slow and bureaucratic system. This results in ineptitude and corruption. What better way to please the public than announcing doles to inefficient PSUs like SEBs which have highest losses in Transmission and Distribution? Competition can help provided the government stays out of the loot mode and behave like true shareholder.

Its not ineptitude, but rather a short-sighted shrewdness in wanting to please the public with a view to seek popularity and vote-catching! PSUs are meant to be used keep the dirty politicians/parties in office at any cost!
