A good article regarding car prices and FTA
1 USD = 154.73 Japanese Yen will explain that.
Bro, china and Japan have net positive economies. They are known to intentionally devalue their own currencies. They do that to stay competitive on exports while keeping domestic inflation in check.
It’s why Trump hates them.
It’s a win-win situation for these countries.
India doesn’t have that luxury, nor can India afford to intentionally devalue its currency several folds.
Edit: it’s not win-win for them. It’s more like win-win-win-win-win.
It would be r-tard move on their side if they didn’t devalue their currency (by printing more money).
It’s a free rain of money, and your own population thanks you for keeping inflation in check.
You end up with so much money that you end up becoming a financier to uncle Sam. You have him by the balls. This is reality.

Wow.
Govt. Of India - 
Govt. Of Ambani & Adani ( Ambani- Adani ki sarkar) - 
Major economy policies are now in their hands it seems.
Where is his army of trolls in TE that descend on every thread to defend the emperor?
Data Centers take the max resources and offer lowest employment. The One at Vizag is giving jobs to just 100 people. So the “billions of $ of investment” is nothing but BS. All the hardware for it will be imported. Only thing that will be local is the construction material.

But that is true for both ends if I must point out …if one tries to point out Congress actions that were not in favour of country and created problems.
You invite other side of army of trolls descending and calling you bhakts and all.
It is not easy to bring neutral anymore and calling out spade a spade.
People cannot see beyond their loyalty to politcial parties. Whereas only thing that really calls for loyalty today is your country overall.
Loyalty towards the Nation first. Not Blind loyalty for an political party that has its foundation on hatred and division.

Show me one instance where a person " …if one tries to point out Congress actions that were not in favour of country and created problems." has been trolled, name called, ( jihadi , leftist, commie, anti national) when one had pointed out the deficiencies of congress. And mind you, most of the so called ILLS are whatsapp manufactured stories.
Congress hasn’t be relevant (with regards to policy making) for 12 years now.
They’re just finding ways to bankrupt states because they suck at budgeting.
Ha do you think BJP started copying them out of spite?
You give free buses? We give 20 year tax break!
Free bus rides has helped economy by the ladies spending elsewhere. 10000s of beneficiaries. Tax break ? 2 beneficiaries.

The freebies culture should be stopped.
Everyone used to give freebies before elections unofficially aka liquor and money.
Kejriwal made it official.
BJP and Congress ridiculed Kejriwal then adopted the model afterwards.
Elections are being won on freebies, reservations and appeasement. You can’t even have an alternative as every political party is doing the same.
Freebies = giving CRORES in cash - ( ladli behan scheme, then same copied in Maharashtra where CASH was transferred to every one, not just women, then came " business loan" of 10k to women of Bihar - 14,000 crores.
Compare with FREE BUS rides where the money gets back into the economy.

The “bus rides put money back into the economy while cash doesn’t” has some issues.
1. When q woman get XYZ money, she doesn’t stash it in offshore account. She spends it for her family on groceries, clothes,books, fees etc. That cash goes to store owner , wholesaler, transport companies used in transportation, paying of wages etc.
In fact cash transfers circulate faster than bus subsidies do.
2. When the government makes bus rides free, it still has to pay transport corporation. Most transport corporations are inefficient. The tax payers are paying more than double cost per ticket due to various operational inefficiencies like maintenance issues, management issues etc.
3. This adversely affects private buses (eventhough delhi doesn’t have them the karnataka has ample of them)
I am not defending giving money. In fact I am extremely against it. Just highlighting issues with argument. Both are equally bad.
Don’t bother quoting me back as I won’t be wasting time on this issue any longer
Your first point is factually incorrect. A woman does not get money to pay bus fares. The money in her hand gets spent to clothes, fruits and vegetables and general well being of the family.

Yeah, it’s pretty hard to argue that free bus rides are a bad thing for women, there’s a net benefit for the entire state when there’s more people swimming around in that state’s economy (vs staying at home).
My criticism is that Congress is just bad at budgeting. The state’s cost of paying for the bus rides is laughably low and they still can’t figure it out.
Here in Telangana, this bus “freebie” costs the government around 400 crore per month while the state budget is 25,400 crore per month and they still end up in the red.
(napkin math for both numbers)
I myself have been accused by people here of being bhakt and all even after pointing out BBC reports on poor one sided Indus treaty and all. Some people here believe Congress have done no wrong in this country.
They would say forget about the past and talk about now. We do talk about now also and many here have criticized current govt. but we cannot complete forget the past because we still suffering from it.
There is so much course correction also needed in this country that you simply cannot move out of past that easy also,
India is a very slow progressing country.
To give you an example…it took Govt. 8 years to ban ORS wrong labelling. even after thgat lady doctor alone kept fighting the whole system.
Bad loans to Vijay mallayas and Modis and all did not happen in BJP time alone.
Dawood too manage to escape during Congress /Sharad Pawar time.
Both these parties have caused lot of damage to this country…I can go on and on but lets leave it for some other day.
and this freebie is not BJP’s game plan alone.
here in Himachal too Congress Govt. announced Rs 1500 per month to women (18-80) do the maths how much this would be costing the state.
All of them are playing this horrible game at tax payers money whereas all they need to do is give people good roads, free or subsidized education ,jobs and skills.
The Indira Gandhi Pyari Behna Sukh-Samman Nidhi Yojana is a Himachal Pradesh government initiative providing ₹1,500 monthly financial assistance to eligible women aged 18-59 (or 18-80 in some reports) to empower them economically and recognize their household contributions.
