DEBATE (1)

How can you term Modi dictator ? He made senior most bureaucrat as Cabinet Secretary, he appointed Army Chief by going seniority and he did not disturb hierarchy of the CJI. Had he been a dictator, he would have disturbed the system.

Where Tax Payers money goes ?

The money which is collected thru tax by chasing low income group tax payers and it is given as a support to Air India for their poor performance,meeting PSU NPAs and many other loss making companies. We should be careful when we collect money it should be properly used. Cash is very prevalent during election period. It is perceived that a suitable method should be devised and it is supported by a newly created fund (proposal)which should be funded by each party.
