00:00 Always people eagerly watch the union budgets, state budgets as well.
00:08 Here the point is that whether the government will introduce any pro-people policy which
00:16 is beneficial to the common man of this country.
00:20 Apart from rhetoric and distorted facts, this government is not doing anything for the general
00:30 public.
00:31 For example, when the U.P.
00:34 This NDA government came into power in 2014, the major campaign of the NDA, especially
00:42 the BJP was against petroleum price hike.
00:48 Many many programs, jadas, speeches you can see, still available in YouTube.
00:54 The promise was to reduce the amount of petroleum products including diesel and petrol to minimum
01:03 to 50 rupees.
01:06 Now what is happening?
01:07 We have the highest cost of petroleum products in this subcontinent, comparing Pakistan,
01:15 Sri Lanka, other neighboring countries.
01:21 So rhetoric and bada bada bhashan one side.
01:24 On the other side, the reality is that the common man of this country is suffering.
01:29 Unemployment is at its peak.
01:32 Employment is getting to a section of our youth through the development of gig economy.
01:38 Gig economy means, as we all know, it is this Uber, taxi, divers, this Somato, Siggy, these
01:44 types of online food platforms are there.
01:48 So these people are being exploited by the company.
01:50 That is another part of the story.
01:52 But the major provider of the employment is these sections only.
02:00 Educated youth are unemployed and the health care expenditure has decreased.
02:06 A doctor's panel also prepared a report.
02:09 So as far as the life of the common man is concerned, it is very miserable.
02:14 So I am not expecting anything positive from this government.
02:18 But since this is the election year and they may announce certain soaps, that is what.
