Vice-president BJP/ Churachandpur District
So , it is the same odd situation and there has not been any perceptible progress and development .The poor remains pauperised , the rich richer ; difference in terms of economy and income has become wide with the least care being given to the lots of the poor majority . Those who can do prosper and those who couldn't has to either perish or lead undignified life no matter how able and educated he may be.
The road conditions are deplorable , water supply pathetic, medical services unreliable, fees of education and its system exorbitant in case of private institution while the government run educational institutes are in a mess with appointed teachers drawing fat amount of hard cash not commensurated to their labour inputs.That is the result when those leaders claiming as genuinely concern for the people and their welfare took the reins and are at the helm of affairs .
Living under the guidance of such leaders reluctant to give anything for the welfare of the people they represents , it is natural things has to go topsy- turvy and in certain case beyond redemption .To me like many , when I made a close retrospect of the past 20 years or so I ,for one,am feeling the people have been duped so much so that nobody knows when they are deceived.
We are living in a world of changes in every aspects of life due largely to hi and fi technological advancement and so on. It is ripe time to give our thoughts with an open eye and catch up the real implications what they do .It is not the time to get fooled by their tall promises and rhetorics .Its time to be pragmatic and to reorient thinking to suit the changing scenerio.
As for instance ,atleast 97 percent of the total district populace are under BPL with most of them living in homes on rent basis.They have no means to raise standards nor multiply incomes and has to live in that wretch condition .The sobs given by government through the Below Poverty Line,BPL, Card has not lessen their problems . Mere possession of this card means nothing for them as nothing is provided to them .The rice, sugar ,dal ,edible oil ,atta ,flour and such other items they are supposed to get at subsidized rate had never provided .Over and above these the Anganwadi centers exists only in name .Claims have been made that a good numbers of such centers running into thausands have been constructed in the district by an officials during one of the seminars at Vengnuom Community hall . Claims was made in favour supplying nutritional diets to thausands of children and pregnant have been looked after.Upon close scrutiny the claims made turn out to be a hollow .Proper operations of such center for providing nutrition to growing children is a must but is a far cry to hope . Centers attaches to workers house means no construction of the centers and is a violation of rules .Where has all those money (Rs 6 Lakhs Plus) alloted for each centers gone .
The Fair Price Shop centers is another instances of governments abject failure .Such centers are mean for sale of governments sponsored supply of any kind at cheaper and affordable cost by the people under BPL. But alas,it is again a hub of unwanted practices.Again when we take the case of Indira Awaz Yozana ,IAY, it fail flat and failed to serves the desire purposes .Normally poor and halpless who couldnt afford a decent roof and dwelling huts are extended the facility but in our cases only well off ,having no sincere requirements were given the facility with the result that even 30 percent are not constructing it .
Same is the case with LPG .when a citizen is entitled at least 12 cooking gas cylinder per household as was in the case of others hardly 3/4 cylinders are provided to consumers in the state .That too ,with prices of non subsidy @Rs 600-700 per cylinders .Those who get incomes less than 10 Lakhs are entitled for grant of subsidy but in the state all are made to pay the same exorbitant prices .
The Tribal Development department ,which is the department is the treasure trove of the government ministers more so for tribal MLAs. So many of the schemes under the department has not been leaked out as it is the perennial sources of riches and enrichment as well as incomes of the ministers. Had the funds with the department been made available to all the tribals and made uses of it ,levels of scenerio may have been the other way round .
Moreover the current practices of discriminating certain areas of the town in terms of development on the basis of caste , creed,clan,class and for that matters their blocks is a negation of democratic norms .Such parochial mindset entertain by some persons and meting out ill- treatment to a, particular areas has to be rooted .Infrastructural development should be installed in all areas in equal terms .
Remaining in a long spell of silence I have heard the sounds of cries people who are reeling under extreme hardship and genuinely felt something needs to be done .
Regarding political party I have been a regular and active member of the BJP in Churachandpur district.Holding at first the post of Vice president in charge of all Morcha now I have been assigned to handle the cudgels of Vice President Ccpur (organization)with the approval of the state president till date.
Such being the things,if the next round of assembly election could take place as per the constitutional provision, as approved and consented by my people I am going to join the fray by contesting from 58th Ccpur A/C segments so as to bring political ,administrative ,economic changes of the people by sticking to the principle of "All for All ".JAI HIND.
