UPA Government - habitual negative thinker

UPA government has developed an expertise in negative thinking. The latest is the govt bid to muzzle media. All parties across the board have slammed the proposed broadcast bill which seeks to arm civil and police officials with such powers which remind people of emergency days. But I&B minister is justifying this bill. It makes me remember that during those black days emergency was touted as 'Anushashan Parv".

Delhi Government has topped in thinking negative. It has not carried out any preventive maintenance of power equipment for last seven years. When asked why, both the power minister and power secretary justified it by saying that it was not done in peoples' interest.

Well... self regulation by media, or some such organization (created) by media itself would be the best route.

As for govt. regulation - most regulations simply result in one more avenue for the corrupt to make some money.

apun ka desh, thanks for your comments.

You are right that self regulation is the best way. If people and organizations including Govt learn self-discipline then the problems our country is facing will be reduced to a large extent. But for the people and organizations with negative thinking, it seems a very tall order.
