Banks unsafe for depositors

To obtain a small loan from the bank is a cumbersome and laborious process for the common man, while defaulting businessman have ease of securing loans without any collateral. Then they default and flee the country. The government has yet to extradite any of such rogues living luxurious lives abroad. The NPAs of all banks amounts to crores of rupees. But all the BJP does is place the blame at the door steps of the erstwhile UPA. The promise of 15 lakhs black money in accounts was a dream sold for propaganda. The government has fished out our own money putting Indians through untold misery. The cost of printing new currency must have outweighed any advantage. With so much unaccounted money coming in, the tax burden has not reduced one iota. While Indian citizens have to account for all other incomes, legislators earn tax free pensions and freebies. Indians are fooled by talk. No one complains of astronomical rise in prices, which do not affect the politicians as they receive everything free or highly subsidized. Intolerance of dress, food, religion are at a high. Cow gets more protection than humans. The punishment for cow related issues is much more than that for murders, rapes, etc. We are being promised ache din only in the distant future. Another term for the BJP will be disastrous.
