After reading the NIPFP report i see that citizen benefits are expected to kick in only after 2015. In 2013-2014 mere 1082 crores will go as benefits to aam aadmi and by year 2019 the next year when elections are expected the citizen benefits go up to 23989 crores so 2014 elections are crucial. Whoever captures power in 2014 is sure to win in 2019.
