Whom to blame?

Hi Madurai Folks,

Whom should I blame for our situation today we are in?

I am one of the guys who came back from US from a lucrative job in Software, to start and do business in my native place, Madurai for a brighter future and also to stay in my home town and flourish in the business we are in.

I understand businesses will have problems to run, but what benefit does government do to small companies like us? The government does not need to do favour or donations to small companies. But, at least they can be the basic infrastructure!

Government gives following benefits to the small companies -

1) Power cuts
2) Price rises
3) Increase in power rates
4) Increase in all product prices
5) Increase in taxes
6) Increase in bus fares
7) Increase in petrol or diesel prices
and much more.

We have power cuts starting from morning and all through out the day.

Morning 6 AM to 7:30 AM
Morning 9 AM to 12 noon
Afternoon 3 PM to 6 PM
Night 9:30 PM to 10:30 PM

At times in between these times also power will go off. Even in the nights, it is upto the Electricity department to cut the power.

How can small companies and shops who depend on computer, machineries to run their business expected to run? How can we make some profit? How can we maintain the employees? How can we bear the employees idle in the office without work?

We are making loss, oh Mr. or Mrs. Government! Oh, Dear TNEB (Electricity Department)! This is the return you give to people who live in the city?

I feel it is probably better to live in foreign countries and prosper, probably!

Don't even talk about small business growth. Don't even talk about income tax from us! Service tax..come on!

You are not doing any favor to us.

Because of your poor planning, why should we bear the losses? We are NOT in a position to buy a generator. We are not in a position to buy huge inverters. Only for 1 hour we can back up with small inverters. Not all small businesses can afford these kind of generators.

When there is not sufficient power, do proper planning or you should have planned properly. Because of your carelessness, the small businesses are suffering.

Why do you need Collector, commissioner, so many MLAs, MPs, Mayors, etc., for running this utter flop government.

Provide constant power, do not price hike in all the items. This will lead to JOB losses, companies closing etc., You are making the Tough times!! It is not happenning by itself!!!
