Where is Rs. 5 ????

The Markets may have been at a record high. The financial status of large caps might have gone north. But those small and medium sector enterprises which are the backbone of people's life has gone drastically south. Due to #DEMO and #GST the consumers and traders are hit hard. Although I have written many posts raising this issue, I certainly feel a need to write this especially at the time when Congress has performed better in Gujarat reflecting people's sentiments against these policies. The PM has been trying to bring alternate healthcare services like Organic/Traditional natural products in the market and appreciable in terms of bringing up life, medical and accident insurances for all the common man especially who are poor and can't afford. Yoga has been made a practice in many schools. One Nation - One Rule - One Tax - One Policy  - A scheme which time only will tell if it receives a favorable response from the people.

The agenda of this post is to describe how shops, small vendors, roadside sellers, small and medium enterprises have been affected by the new policies. It was initially said that this scheme will bring down the fod commodity products which are the primary factors in calculating Inflation. Still the prices haven't come down, but against the Govt.'s statement the prices are going up. Both the traders, middlemen and consumers are hit due to this. These policies have made many roadside sellers and independent businesses to close down forever. Farmers at one end are committing suicide due to high prices of the required products. Farming is turning costly and the output also has been dependent on the monsoons and water availability from the rivers especially in the southern part of India. 

Although the petrol prices in the global market came down, the benefits were not pushed to the consumers. Our PM has been acting aggressively against corruption and bringing back illegal money. But we are not told about the amount of money that is now with the Govt. All we can see is market going up and growth expectations of 6.2%. But does this make any sense to the common man? A normal roadside shop owner? People are losing jobs and there is no improvement with respect to the common man's beliefs. We lost track of Rs. 1,2 but a stage has been reached now that even the Rs. 5 coin has no value. We cant see 'em at all. The primary responsibility of the Govt is to bring inflation down and provide good interest rates from the banks on FDs and other deposits. But the Govt. has certainly failed to live up to the expectations that we had. We voted for improvement in infrastructure and change in our lives but it is still yet to be seen. 

With the way the current Govt. is progressing, only the Adani and Ambani are favored. They have made huge money. What about the small producers? The Govt.'s propaganda is on development but ironically can we show any state governed by the BJP where they can certainly say that there is indeed development? Being a Pro-BJP guy and a fan of Modi, the truth is that the Govt. hasn't achieved a single thing financially to claim that people's lives are better now. I am sure if not acted now, people will lose faith and the Govt. will collapse in the next term like the Rs. 5 coin which is elusive these days.
