The B B Ramaiah Chat

Vineet Dixit: You have seen the latest RBI credit policy. The direction is to make available more liquidity in the banks and also reduce the deposit rates and interest rates advanced for industry. And this policy will continue as we proceed.

Dr. Ramaiah -- I am from your home town of Tanuku by the way My grandfather was actually a teacher of Mr. Harishchandra Prasad. How is everything down there ??

What do you think of Foreign investments with the current instability?

Could you give us some insight into Nara Chandrababu Naidu? What kind of man is he? I want to know because he may be our next PM.

Dennis: Before the Budget presentation, various issues to make the country's production go up and increase the export thrust were given. The FM has also removed the MAT for exporters and also gave a lot of concessions for industrial activity and investment opportunities both within and outside the country. A lot of thrust has been given for infrastructural development. These are the things which I could impress on the FM.

Mr Ramaiah, Has congress given any assurance this time, that they will not repeat their shameful act again in the near future and push India again on the brink of Uncertainty?

Sir what are the new economic policies your government plans to employ to take India into the global market?

Sir, I would like to thank you personally for the immense service you are doing to your constituency Tanuku and my home town.

James: Well, we are having a dialogue with the Congress party. We want to get an assurance from their side to see that this government lasts for a longer time by having a coordination committee between the UF and the Congress so that many issues in which there is a difference of opinion can be sorted out with this coordination committee. Just like what we were doing with our UF parties. The same system can be operated with the Congress.

Hello every body

Do you think it is constitutionally and morally correct for the Budget to be passed in Parliament next week after the government has been voted out of office? I think it is shameful that the Constitution is being so violated. Will your new government, Sir, present a fresh Budget if it is sworn in next week?

Mr. Ramaiah, With no intentions to cast aspersiona on u, can u please tell us if there are any honest politicians at all in Indian polity? And if yes! can u name one please??

Hari: In fact, we, the TDP, are happy to go to the elections with no problem. And we will gain substantially also. But some constituents of our UF and Congress MPs as well as newcomers -- there are more than 265 first time MPs in Parliament -- are all very keen that we should not go for elections so soon. And also in the large interests of the country. The expenses that are involve in an election are also going to be very high. And even after the elections if the same type of hung Parliament comes back , we will face the same problem again. After taking all these facts into consideration, we also thought it is desirable if we can avoid elections at this stage.

Sharmila: As I mentioned earlier, after taking proper assurances from the Congress and also having face the problem, the Congress also felt that they may not do the same experiment again. And in order to keep it more stable, we are now putting a coordinating committeee between the Congress and UF. Which will always look after any issues on which we need moderation between the two parties. Now we are quite sure that this will last for longer and we can deliver the goods as promised to all the people in the country and abroad.

Dr Rammaih: WHO DO YOU THINK WILL BE THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA?

Mr Ramaiah, Was their a big war between Deve Gowda and Kesri, which prompted Congress Chief to withdraw support?

Ajit James: The Federal Front is the only model that we want to show the nation. That regional parties can join together, work together and can also give substantial amount of support and play an important role in national politics. This is what we are looking for.

Don't u guys feel even a single moment of guilt of taking the whole nation for a ride? U need to be in power (and make money for ur coming generations!!) by whatever means. People who elected u do not matter - for u it is a game of numbers to keep on earning lots and lots of money. I am glad I am not in India. I do not blame 90% of the population who wish to be out of there as well.

Mr Indrajit Gupta has criticised Mr Deve Gowda for ignoring the Congress. Do you believe that is correct? Would you put it down to Shri Deve Gowda's inexperience or was it his mistrust of Mr Kesri? Maybe he could vibe well with Rao and Pawar, but Chacha Kesri was a different kettle of fish altogether!

I think people ought to know that the script writers for the bollywood are also the speech writers for most of Indian political leaders.

Dr BB: Will the Federal Front fight the next general election on one platform on issues like greater autnomy for the states, implementation of the Sarkaria Commission recommendations? Or will ' the partners go their own way, with the BJP and Congress making a bid for each party's support?

DR BB WHAT DID MR DEVE GOWDA SAY AND DO AFTER HE WALKEDF OUT OF THE PARLKIAMENT WITH HIS SUPERB COMEBACK....................what has he been doing in the last few days?
