--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computing Manifesto promises.
STEPHEN DIAS While parties are busy making manifestos to woo voters, many of these promises will be difficult to keep taking into consideration generation of revenue to be to finance the social security schemes.We have already experienced what has happened because the BJP promised Griha Aadhar, Ladli Laxmi as well as abolition of VAT on petrol. The BJP had to rob Peter to a greater extent to pay Paul so as to keep these promises. In the end it was the people's money that was being redistributed to pay for these freebies. Now computer programs has made it so easy that if you feed the sources of revenue and the outgo towards payment of these social security schemes as well as other expenses, it is possible to generate in advance a balance sheet that addresses all these concerns. So, given a chance to make a new manifesto the particular party can in advance predict their mathematical calculations precisely. Stephen Dias Dona Paula
