Not through my nose.....

Dear Mr. Arun Jailtey,

There is statement attributed to you in the media which says that you said that 'If people of India want development, they will have to pay the price'.

Dear Jaitley ji, not for a moment did any Indian have a doubt that they will have to pay a price, in fact, all along, since the last 70 years after independence, it is the public that has been paying a price for development. All the taxes that governments collect comes from the people of India to go into the consolidated funds of India, I am sure as the Finance Minister of the country, you are already aware of this fact.

Dear Jaitley ji, no Indian for a moment thought that you would bring money from your own bank account, which is quite substantive I am told, to do development of India.

Dear Jaitley ji, neither did any Indian ever think that money will come from any other leader of your party or that of other parties to do the 'development' of India.

You see sir, our problem is different. It seems that for the last 70 years, the Indian public has been doing the development of leaders like you and those spread all over the political spectrum irrespective of party they belong to.

The political class is the parasite that feeds off the money provided by the Indians. The parasites have been growing at a massive scale so much so that the Supreme Court too is worried at the impressive growth of wealth of politicians and is taking notice of the same.

Therefore dear Jaitley ji, given that we, the people of India, are aware that it is our money only that does development and given the fact that we are aware that people like you are nothing but parasites on the system, please don't lecture us on how to go about the development process.

And we are more than willing to participate in the development process but the taxes that you seek to extract should be reasonable and not extracted through our noses.
Otherwise, I hope all is well with the economy and that we can see some development towards removal of parasites that feed on our money such that we can see some real development a.k.a 'Vikas'.

In management, there is a saying, lead, follow or get out of the way.

In the present situation I think as your government is unable to lead and it can not follow, therefore the best would be for people like you and your government to get out of the way.

Or be thrown out of the way.

Choice is entirely yours.
