As expected Congress demagogues are appealing to emotions of poor people which will have unfortunate logical consequences of increasing fiscal deficits and in turn debts of Government.
Unfortunately the most logical minded competitors are also forced to use the cheap grain card instead of promise of Development to make every one capable of buying the grain without subsidy.

Views Of Political Parties on Issues Facing the Nation Or their absence altogether
http://yourvoice2009.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4224305.cms
referring to the link from times web site. its a good work to gather the responses of candidates on major issues faced by Nation. Might help some of our educated voters who plan to vote.
What baffles me is that Congress hasn't given little more than one-liners and no response at all in some cases as they don't find issues important at all OR don't have anything substantial to mention.
Its actually very embarrassing for a party which has ruled India for most of the post-Independence democratic period to not have concrete answers for such important issues.
What probably explains there careless dismissal of the idea to provide answers is the fact that Congress Leaders are Demagogues. And their campaigning mostly seeks support by appealing to popular passions and prejudices Instead of Logical Developmental plans. classic example "Bharat ki widvah bahu" ( this is what Mrs. Sonia Gandhi used last time). Going just a little deeper into the emotional quote was my minds emotional response "woh bahu jo sasural ko apna ghar manane se bar bar inkar kare" this is based on the fact that Mrs Sonia Gandhi was offered India Citizenship more than a dozen times after marriage. Which, she promptly rejected 13 consecutive years, until she had political aspirations in India. Clearly she valued her Italian Citizenship more than Indian.
Another worth mentioning assumption of Mrs, Gandhi is that "Parliament is platform of hearing for personal complains". this is a personal unfortunate observation that I've had one fine day tuned in to live telecasts Parliamentary session on DD channel; where I was baffled to find Mrs. Gandhi complaining about parliamentarians ridiculing her on her usage of Hindi language in ongoing Parliamentary session. This scene took me back to the long forgotten school days when we used to complain to class teacher on some one teasing us in school. What imbecile Mrs. Sonia Gandhi needs to learn is that Parliament is platform to address issues facing the Nation not voicing personal complaints to gain sympathy.
Other thought which I find more irritating is the fact that Congress is still banking on its underprivileged, uneducated voters to elect it again. As it is sure that major educated salaried class voters of India will enjoy the holiday at home watching exit polls against standing in queue to exercise their right to vote. Why explain to those who won't vote, so why waste time in framing logical answers to Times Of India (I believe largest read English News paper in India) in turn a news channel only for the well-educated. Well if the educated class is not bothered of exercising its right to vote it deserves the Government that double taxes and robs it, falsely claiming to offer support to the underprivileged. Can't blame the uneducated as they cannot see through the false claims as they incapable to asses the statistics of growth and development. But I believe its our educated class' responsibility to explain every one around us to understand the futile claims of the Party which enjoyed most long tenure of power in India.
About our PM Mr Singh, as much as I respect his capabilites, sympathize on his inability of being able to use them. India might have developed atleast little more had Mr. Singh been allowed to use his brain power instead of party high commands' .
