Toilets First, Temples later

Modi's remark is remarkable. After 65 years of Independence the very basic facility of toilet is not available to a large section of the people is a very poor reflection of the Government's concern for the masses. A part of the money looted since independence if spent on poor people's basic needs, such remarks would not have come from a leader who is also hailing from a poor family. The inexpensiveness of the Government in power to the peoples' genuine requirements if highlighted should not make the Congress sensitive. Even now it is not too late for the Government to act. It wont take more than six months to provide toilet facilities to the needy . Before next election the work can be executed and the authorities can claim that toilet facility is made available.
