As an Indian voter who cheered for Mr Tharoor, on his way to the Parliament, and Ministership, I have to say, I am puzzled by his stand on the Government's/Congress Party's austerity drive.
This austerity drive, late though it has come, is a symbolic gesture to the Indian public, to curb wayward spending trends.
Living luxuriously out of one’s own pocket is all very well; but such indulgence is not acceptable when one purports to be a People’s Representative, and the People’s Government that one is part of, has decided to cut-back on spending, and advocate austerity.
