Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 30 Dec 17,Promises made need to be kept

I have been watching the Indian parliament and Indian politics for more than five decades. Whoever comes to power won’t fulfil their promises to the people. I do agree that it is not possible to fulfil all promises, but at least 50 per cent of them can help the country develop. All the political parties want to retain their power and do not bother with actual development of the country. Today, every political party is blaming the other party. All the members of parliament are responsible for running and using the taxpayer’s money for development. India is the largest democratic country in the world. The present National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government is trying it’s best to develop but has been branded as a communal party by the opposition. According to me, neither is the present ruling party is communal, nor the opposition. I do not belong to any political party but I raise my voice for the lower income groups and the common man. The present NDA government has certain policies that make me unhappy. They have completely neglected the senior citizen bank deposit interest rate. Those senior citizens getting the pension depending only on their deposit interest, will find it difficult to make both ends meet because of inflation and meagre bank interest. I appeal to the present NDA Government to revise the bank interest rate for deposits for senior citizens.
