    S Jaishankar's appointment is a tacit admission that if you want to get things done, it is not the minister but the babu behind who executes is important.
    So, along with portfolio announcement it would always help, if the name of secretary to the ministry is also published.

    Do you know how many Indians do not get a meal for sometimes even a week?
    do you ever know the plight of adivasis and people who live in areas like kalahandi and bolangir of Orissa?
    India is developing but there is poverty also which is worser than some African nations. That is what saddens me and none of the leadres are bothered about that.
    See the extravaganza of oath taking yesterday. What is the need for all that? The money could have been used to feed poor people no?
    I am not saying only about BJP. All political parties are same.

    Mr.Shetty
    Do you have any idea what is Inr against USD today
    I have no issues you praise Modi a day may come you urself will feel y Govt is
    We need religion it is our faith but it will not feed us unless we work
    So first we want better economically grown India than the religion
    Now for next four years all will be increased including petrol and hen in fifth year cost will be reduced to fool us and religious card will be played
    We educated Indian youth till we think of development instead of religion then India becomes a developing otherwise we will be counted underdeveloped country
