Subject: "Bitter medicine" is long overdue and necessary, BUT .......
The PM's reference to "bitter medicine" to save a dying patient is a necessary and long over-due necessity. One can be certain that the nation will accept, even appreciate, the medicine PROVIDED it is preceded and / or accompanied by stopping the free-booting by MPs, MLAs, and babus in areas like free (or near free) housing, petrol, electricity, water, air and train travel, subsidised loans, foreign junkets, 5-star "conferences", 30 days annual leave, LTA, plots / apartments, etc., etc. etc. Austerity / medicine should begin at home, i.e. parliment and government officials. It would set the right background / atmosphere to stern measures.Such and other such free-bootings would account for 10 - 20% of the budget. Such a wastage is by no means peanuts, and would run into tens of thousands of crores each year. This alone would fix the "dying patient" very quickly.Another area that the Hon'ble PM and Law Minister need to fix is the lop-sided justice system (probably better described as the lack of it). Each day hundreds of matters are listed before the Supreme Court itself, and many, if not most, of them are adjourned. Senior lawyers charge 10+ lacs, and less senior 1.5 - 3.0 lacs per appearance. Now, if one calculates the criminal wastage / imposition of hidden taxes on citizens, it would amount to crores each and every day in the SC alone. Add to it, hotel, travel, taxi, eating out costs, ... and you would know why India is a "dying patient". Of course the same thing happens the high courts and lower courts. The loss figure would easily be 100 - 300 crores per day. Per annum we are talking of 20 - 60,000 crores! Would any "dying patient" survive such "medical negligence" for long?Please first fix these and many other such things before / alongwith the bitter medicine, and we would welcome it as necessary.Victor
