Mumbai's makeover gamble 

The article - Mumbai's makeover gamble - by Ramnathan Swaminathan makes one correct point. When the rural poor see no reason to migrate to cities, slums will stop expanding. Problem is that politicians only pay lip service to "garbi hatao" and instead swindle all the money and line their pockets. The Indian National Congress party is the prime example of this - for decades they did nothing to decrease rural poverty. Nothing except mouth inane slogans. Will the current central government be any different. Will they be able to implement their grandiose Common Minimum Program?

My bet is that they will not be able to.

Because they are not sincere.
Because they are corrupt as hell.
Because they are incompetent.
