Lok Sabha passse the 100 day job guarantee bill. What remains to be seen is whether the bill can translate into real bills for the poor.

Another important point is that the job-guarantee is given to all rural households, and in many parts of the country many households in the rural areas already enjoy a lot of privileges due to which they are pretty much "rich". And it is they who garner all the government resources. They would probably make best use of this law while the condidtion of the masses might not improve as much.

The fact that the Congress government chose to overlook this is clearly indicative of its interest in the elections than development.
