Garibi Hatao ?

The recent speech by the PM seems like yet another case of diversion tactics.
Coming from the man who's credited with the economic reforms (though it was the forex-crisis which forced to take tough decision, still no one can question his wisdom and service to the economy),it shows the frustration and political compulsions.
Are CEOs drawing fat pay-cheques, people spending on lavish weddings responsible for the inhuman conditions in which millions of our countrymen live ? It could to a certain extent in few cases, but isn't it the duty of the Government to prevent any exploitation of the poor and the labor class?
What has been done to tackle corruption in the last three years ? We have some of the best policy makers, one of the best delivery mechanism in place - the local self govt. bodies, panchayats, and innovative welfare schemes. But all this is rendered useless due to the inefficiency and leakage (for those who want to avoid the word 'corruption').
What is more disgusting - pocketing the money meant for drinking water in villages or spending one's money on family wedding ? Who is more irresponsible - those government school teachers who never turn up in classes or the CEOs who get paid in crores?
No doubting the intention behind the speech, but it is a matter of individual freedom and conscience as to how one spends one's money. You can't eradicate poverty by bashing the rich, neither would you get votes doing that !
Charity they say starts at home, lets see what the PM can do (if allowed to do).He's one of the weakest PMs who's forced to have murder-convicts in his cabinet and let go an efficient minister.
Till then, let's see how many Netas in Delhi refuse to attend lavish wedding receptions !
