1. Chandra Babu Naidu, pioneered to reduce Petrol/Diesel prices in AP, followed by Kumara Swamy in Karnataka.
2. What are duds in PMO/UFM/Petroleum Ministry doing? Neither they can bring down Petrol/Diesel prices nor arrest Rupee’s fall.
3. NO VISIONARIES IN RSS/BJP?
4. Indian intelligence is 2nd to none; provided the authorities/decision makers apply their minds.
5. We have genius mindsets aplenty amongst the retired visionaries in IAS/IFS/RBI/PSBs, to advise various Ministries [dominated by Duds of adhocism] to tide over the crisis. But, BJP/RSS cadres are too busy.
6. What can a lone PM with an excellent vision can achieve; no competent, honest visionary advisors - with no followers to implement?
