#Giveitup

I have been seeing ads pretty frequently on ‘Giving up LPG subsidy’ since past few days. The first ad which I saw on this – the PM himself was telling how giving up LPG would help the poor have clean and safe cooking fuel option. The first thought when I saw that ad was – is the PM or any of the politician really qualified to ask the common middle class man of India to give up one of the small benefit he/she gets , that too after waiting for atleast 30-45 days to get a cylinder, which one has to keep track off and keep following up.

Wonder how many LPG connections each politician must be having , how many of these connection will these people surrender ?  Mr PM does not have a family/wife to worry about so probably he does not feel the heat of  LPG and the its rates . For me somebody who wears a suit (with his name imprinted throughout) worth 10 Lakhs for just couple of hours  occasion has no moral right asking me give up my Rs208.68/cylinder  LPG subsidy. Someone who had to get the whole of AIIMS shutdown so that his checkup could happen in tight security has no right to tell me  and send me sms asking me to Give up LPG Subsidy. They have no right to play with emotions of people (especially general category people) who don’t get any sort of preferences/quotas/relaxation anywhere.

Its high time these politicians stop misusing the privileges and powers they get/ take after being elected by the same common man of India. Its high time these people #GIVEITUP Double standards and misuse of power …..
