Another article showing how free marketers twist things around. India shining has been twisted to saying "Private sector shining, govt tarnished". It basically gives some numbers criticizing the govt. schemes are praises private sector.

Notice the people who are thought to be responsible for this -

" But 90% of civil servants are clerks and chaprasis, and less than 10% are Class I and II officers. Will the Congress reverse the ratio? Will it sack chaprasis and clerks while increasing the number of officers, judges, teachers and other badly needed staff? "

"Will the Congress empower parents' committees or panchayats to withhold salaries of errant teachers?"

" Subsidies remain at 14% of GDP.."

No mention in this of the more than Rs. 1 Lakh Crore of SEZ corporate subsidy and the other subsidies given in form of land transfers and other benefits in the article. No mention of Rs. 10,000 crore in export incentive. No mention of the lowest tax-GDP ratio India has (~10%) [ in Europe it is ~40%, in US its 25% ] which India has, no mention of farmer suicides or their distress due to govt's penchant to open up agricultural sector. No mention of Mid-day meal scheme's success or the growing inequality or of the not-yet-passed Right to Education Bill (6 years and still pending).

I agree with some points in the article on how some of the subsidies are structured (LPG or Petrol subsidies, fertilizer subsidy) but most other points are just selective looking at numbers (looking at numbers which dont show the complete picture like GDP growth rate or teacher absentism without looking at why). Anyway be careful with these numbers they can deceive very easily.
