Oh Yes! MPs are in a miserable state!! I am afraid, the country is in a miserable state due to the selfish, mostly uneducated, thuggish and corrupt MPs. The economy and the rupee are going down, the farmers in the country are suicidal due to the effect of Sena bugs and the price of fertilisers, people have no money to give food to their children but MPs have been provided with fat salaries, cars and free allowance of fuel and discounted meals etc yet they request an increase in the salaries and allowances,
I fully agree with the writer that our engineers lack the practical approach and communication skills. It is partly the fault of our parents who dissuade their children to dirty their hands. As students they must orientate in engineering drawing, dismantling and assembling machinery,constructing working models etc, to develop their innovation and conceptual skills. Graduate engineers must work for years on the Drawing board and Construction Projects to get hands on experience in engineering as done in the U K. The best experience a graduate could obtain is working for the Private sector and not the Government service.

Please don not tolerate liars and antinational elements. MM

Of the two brothers there is no doubt Gota, is the better one to get the country into good shape.

Future politicians must be professionals to govern our country with qualifications in the field of Constitution Law,Political Science,Accounting, Economics or a proven track record of his skills, in order to apprehend and assess proposals from other developed countries.
