'If I were prime minister...' | ||
| As the world's largest democracy holds elections, BBC News Online asks people on the streets of India what they would do if they were prime minister. And keep sending us your views. Raminder Singh, railway station porter, Delhi If I were the prime minister, I would increase the charges of porters and make railway and bus stations cleaner. I would work for the poor and create more job opportunities for the millions who are fighting to survive.
I would also abolish begging on the streets. But most importantly, I would try to root out corruption, as it is proving to be dangerous for the nation. | ||
