Letter
to the editor
Sir,
Govt spending on the
population by way of welfare schemes are treated by political parties as if
they are spending from their party coffers. A number of schemes floated by the
BJP in Goa keeping in mind the elections are
funded by the tax payers and not by the MLA’s. But the party workers are
made to work and do the paper work as if to show that the the money spent is
going from the MLAs pocket and the receiver has to be in debt to the local MLA
and his ruling party. The hype created by the BJP in Goa about the Ujalla led
bulb distribution is one such a last ditch effort by one and all from top order
to the last BJP party worker to project the central Govt funded scheme to be their
freebies to the people of Goa keeping in view of the 2017 assembly elections.
The way all the top brass of the BJP leaving important assignments are busy
distributing the lamps as if they have spent their hard earned money to buy the
lamps is comical. They must have not heard about the 13year old US born Meera
Vashisht who has distributed free led
bulbs worth 2000 USD to the slum dwellers in Delhi after raising funds. This is
yeomen service without any expectation. It looks like the top brass of the BJP
are out of ideas to woo Goan people to vote for them in the coming 2017
elections. All the schemes of the BJP are number based count the number of
people registered for a scheme and print the figures on the newspapers like the
Medi-claim scheme where 57 k applicants are recorded but how many have taken
the health card after paying Rs 300/- and agreeing for a ECS of like amount to
be debited from their bank yearly is the question...
