We Got Our Priorities Straight

• The Prime Minister announced ex-gratia assistance of Rs 2 lakh each to the families of those who have lost their lives and Rs 50,000 each to those injured.

Just to put this into perspective, Delhi Govt gave Rs 2 crore to MSD and Rs 1 crore each to Delhi boys Kohli, Viru, Gauit and Nehra for winning the World Cup.

• Rajasthan Govt. announces aid of Rs.2 cr to flood hit Uttrakhand.

Just to put this into perspective, the Rajasthan State Cricket Association announced 1.3cr when the Rajasthan Ranji Team won the cup.
Plus the Rajasthan Govt. gave the entire world cup winning team a free ride in the "Palace On Wheels" luxury train.

• This in closely following Tuesday's media farce.

Close to 100 people dead, about 25,000 stranded in what is predominantly a man made disaster in Uttrakhand, a pernicious concomitant of the unchecked and random construction activity in the name of development, but Mr.Arnab Goswami is still infatuated with incessant and petty political bickering about some fake encounter.

Utterly disgraceful and odious.
