Politico's go "Economy"


Three months since taking to office, the Union External Affairs Minister & his better half, the MoS were "requested" to vacate their stint of "lodging" at five star hotels at the Tax payers cost! And since ever, the entire bunch of seem to have taken the que from their colleague, the MoFin after his statement asking his fellow people to "save" money & travel "economy"!!! Suprisingly our politico's seem to have finally realised the value of the tax payer's sweat & hard work! Is this another just another political reality show or do they really care about taking this country forward?? Not to forget their "buddies", who obviously started making statements in the media against the government's drive to save some money, calling it a "drama". As much as a cliche it is, they don't portray themselves any better as against the "active" souls running the government. When are these honchos really "growing" up & worry about bigger things than such petty issues?! If a minister wants to travel Business class or even the First class, let he/she do so at his/her additional personal expenditure upon the allowance he/she is eligible for! Basically, something has to be making "news" in our system & sustain the limelight on the people running the nation. It is time, even the media shifted focused on issues plaguing the citizens than getting higher TRPs!!
