We have all been taught to imbibe good things

of our father, grand father, teachers, saints

,leaders and any other person who has virtues.

So finding good things and assimilating these in

us is an art which all human beings are

bestowed with.

Call it symbolism or tokenism, Shri Arun Jaitly , India's Finance

Minister leads about a dozen central ministers who have opted

out of the subsidy given by the government for LPG gas

cylinders. Oil companies say it may not be much in terms of

financial gain but surely it shows the way. Subsidy is for those

who need it.

He also mentioned this in the Lok Sabha while presenting Union

Budget.

Let the affluent among us think over it and decide if God has

given us enough financial strength, we should (write a letter to

our Gas Cylinder supplier and) opt out of the subsidy. Let this be

a daan which would be useful to someone else who needs it. Let

you and Bharat Vikas Parishad be the first to spread this

message.

I am sure many others will follow us. Let us start it as a

movement.
