RAM RAJYA ... 1

RAM RAJYA ... 1

Public funds must be judiciously spent with minimum wastage. The nation is populous and poor. The government ought to go on austerity drive. That will mean living like Shree Ram and looking after his subjects. Vain declarations alone cannot usher in Ram Rajya. For that politicians at the helm of affairs must manifest character. It will be good if they live the lives of 'tapasvis' (ascetics) as Prabhu Shree Ram, Shree Lakshman and Mata Seeta lived in their forest exile of fourteen years. Then Ram Rajya will happen, otherwise not.
