		A single common minimum programme should avoid discussing matters which are not of relevance to the 300 million people of India who are below the poverty line.

		Though the common minimum programme of the UPA government promised an immediate enactment of a legal employment guarantee of at least a hundred days per rural household in all parts of India, there has been a consistent dilution of the Act.
		Alternately, the center should support the statutory minimum wages fixed by the respective State Governments for agricultural labourers as in the case of the SGRY and the FFW programme.

	MacroScan - The Budget and the National Common Minimum Programme
		The promises made are no longer phrases uttered in the heat of campaigns; they are put down on paper and evident for all to see, including allies in the coalition and any parties who are supporting from outside.
		Therefore, when governments still choose to ignore or even go contrary to the declarations and promises made in the stated programme from quite early on in their tenure, they must be either rather stupid themselves, or else relying quite strongly on the stupidity of others.
		But there is no doubt that the National Common Minimum Programme must be an increasing embarrassment for some of the most powerful ministers in this government, and the Finance Minister in particular.

		Eligible workers could submit applications for employment subject to a minimum period of availability for work of say 15-20 days, and will have to be provided employment on one or other of the available public works projects.

		The cost of the programme could be lowered if all casual employment of unskilled manual labour under other ongoing programmes in the area is counted as part of the 100-day guarantee.

		However, the programme is silent about the need for providing autonomy to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

		People and the media appreciated the peaceful and democratic manner in which the programme was announced by the mainstream opposition parties.
		First, the programme has pledged to establish a secular democratic government through free and fair elections to be held after bringing reforms in the CTG and the EC on the basis of the guidelines announced on July 15 this year and free the elections from fl money, violence, and communalism.
		It appears from the above that the common minimum national programme announced by the AL-led 14-party opposition combine contains issues that need immediate solutions to save the country from grave crises ahead as well as issues that come within the normal functions of any popularly elected government.

	New coalition's 'common plan' silent on media & entertainment - Indiantelevision.com's Breaking News
		NEW DELHI: The United Progressive Alliance (UPA), the banner under which the new coalition government has been formed in Delhi, today announced the adoption of a common minimum programme (CMP) that pledges to take the lead in introducing the Women's Reservation Bill, repeal a controversial anti-terrorist law, POTA, and encourage foreign investment in certain sectors.
		However, the flip side of this criticism may be that since there are not very many important policy decisions to be taken in the field of media, the CMP has refrained from making any unnecessary mention of this sector.
		Meanwhile, coming back to UPA's common minimum programme, it sticks mainly to the promises made before the elections.
