Is not KBC a gambling?

The programmes like 'Indian Idol' and 'Dance India Dance' select champions through proper screening by holding competitions across the country. Selection is based on merit and not on lottery. But the programme 'Kaun banega crorepati' selects candidates based on lottery. In the hot seat selected candidates answer questions and get exorbitant prices. Normally when a candidate answer questions he passes an exam and either gets a certificate or a job. But in KBC the stake is Rs 5 cr. No question-answer system offers such a price. So KBC is nothing but gambling. Since law of land doesn't permit lottery or gambling, this programme should be banned.

Coal, petroleum and metallic ores should be nationalised to avoid scams

According to CAG report there has been 1.85 lakh crore scam in allocation of coal blocks to private companies. There would have been zero scam had there been no private parties. All natural resources should be nationalised and should be owned and handled by govt agencies only. Had 2G spectrum been nationalised there would have been no 2G scam. Indian railways, SAIL, ISRO are bright examples of how public sector can serve the nation. Natural resources are limited and so need conservation also. Exploitation of natural resources should not be fast with the private participation. Exploitation of natural resources also destroys forest and environment.
