New Delhi: After several weeks, drought was not the central topic of discussion at a cabinet meeting. The reason, the heavy downpour calmed the sentiments of several ministers, who otherwise appeared disturbed over the impact of drought on their states.
According to one minister, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh himself would start the debate on drought in the past, but the heavy rainfall during the past few days was seen as a very welcome sign for the economy.
Another minister believed the actual reason for not holding a debate was something else. Ministers were so agitated by the finance minister’s austerity drive there was little room left for any further debate!
