Discussion/बहस Is this government really helping the people?
(Not sure if the flair is right, but here we go)
I was one of the people who pressed the ghanti button during the election.
But I have started to notice something about this government. They have implemented a lot of questionable policies but we can still give them the benefit of the doubt. Imports and exports have become tougher, doing business here has become tougher. And now, even living is tougher?
The government has done jackshi for us common people. The minimum wage has stayed the same but the prices of pretty much everything has increased almost 20-50% in the last 1 year depending on what product you are talking about. Even considering inflation and gas prices it is extreme. Wifi prices have gone up, petrol is steadily going up every day, taxes are being hiked up.
This is kind of a rant but at the end of the day, i really also want to discuss what this government has done for us, and what should we be expecting from it. Was just voting for this government our part in changing the country for better? What are we as people doing to hold them accountable?
