OPen Letter to the PM

I am your die hard supporter, but somehow i am getting a strong feeling that on the following issues the government actions appear to be tentative and not at all proactive.

•     OROP - why the veterans of armed forces are being subjected to such an embarrassment, particularly when you, the defense minister, the home minister , all have been saying that it is a matter of few days only. On one hand you have doled out huge sums for Bihar ( Certainly keeping the other eye on the elections ) then why not declare OROP. It is a shame if deserving people are made to fight for their rights. if financial burden is the issue, the 125 crore people of the country will not hesitate to pay additional tax levied as cess, to particularly take care of our retired armed forces. You know us we have done that by opting out of LPG subsidy.
•      The spiraling food prices is another area of big concerns. The monsoon was supposed to be poor this year. We came to know about it well in advance. Then why the government did not import essential items like pulses, onions etc well in time ? Why the government has not declared limits for storage of such items to curb hoarding ?
• 
  
•        The government is to be squarely blamed for many delays in getting the bills cleared in the both houses of the parliament. Please note that the earlier governments too had the problems of numbers in the upper house, but still the Narsimharao Government, The Vajpayee Government and the UPA I & II have had much better success rate. It appears that the floor management is very poor. Secondly, it appears that there is lack of transparency.  Take the case of GST. The congress feels that you will change or not accept the recommendations of the select committee or some parties.

In all it appears that either the government is lacking the political will or succumbing to the pressures or the bureaucracy and that should not be acceptable to a person like you. Please take strong punitive actions against ministers / MPs or the bureaucrats who are stalling the wheel of growth. Please note that you will be remembered for your actions or no actions. Action will bring you back in power again and again and Non - action will throw you out the next time. Choice is yours, sir

Land Acquisition Bill

I do not know why the Modi Government is facing so much of opposition for many of the bills they want to bring in , particularly the Land ( Acquisition ) Reform Bill? There is certainly something amiss, or else why they were required to agree for 9 amendments. 

I am inclined to agree to their recent claim now that the congress and the other opposition parties are eying for elections in Bihar, and hence they are trying to drive mileage out of this issue. But then there are avenues open to them. They should utilize the power of electronic media ( TV ) - Radio and the print media too, to explain to the common man as to what the earlier bill ) introduced by UPA ) had vis a vis the current one, why did they bring new bill, why did they not refined the earlier bill, what were the plus and minuses of both the bills. They should make an effort to educate the common man and take them along with them. Hand - Holding is the need of the hour to win the confidence of the common man. If the opposition and the NGOs like Anna Hazare are not willing for an open debate, then call a meeting of all CMs and other stake holders like leaders of farmers' associations / unions etc. 

This needs to be done on priority as it is holding many growth related investments back, including the FDIs etc in infrastructure, Roads, defence etc.

Let them not make it an Ego Issue, Let them not try to call a joint session to get numbers in their favour, because that may lead to more protests and it will be sort of carrot in the hands of the opposition who will not miss the opportunity to spread this move as high handedness on the part of the government. There might be nation wide agitations and the image of the government might nosedive to a point of no return.

I wrote to the PMO India, on their web site the following:

Your Land Reform Bill is facing big time hurdles from all opposition parties. If you and your ministers feel that you are pro - poor and pro farmer and the opposition is just trying to increase their vote bank, why don't you reach the masses through electronic and print media ? Invite media in press conferences, invite leaders from farmer fraternity, invite NGOs and have open debate in HINDI & English. Similarly Spend money on giving full details in Local papers in Hindi and other regional languages. Expose the Congress, Don't Attack them That, in my opinion will be a pro active step. I am ready to provide my services once i am convinced myself that you are on the side of the poor and farmers.

Choice for the government is to win the confidence, by educating the people, taking media in confidence, carry the nation with them. Only PM can and shall do this, if he is convinced that the government is on the RIGHT side of the issue.

Positives from Delhi Election

Last week has been quite eventful in many ways. Yes, we had a Congress Mukt Bharat, but it was not the BJP but AAP who made it free from congress. The fact of the matter is that the AAP made Delhi almost BJP mukt too, almost literally.

AAP won 67 out of 70 seats in the assembly.

The Kejri - WALL stood rock solid between the BJP and the electorate of Delhi. He did not allow the juggernaut of Amit = Modi duo dent his grip in any way.

The Jhadu ( Broom )  swept them all for SWATCH Delhi, to begin with. The Jhadu swept away the HAND of the Congress, The Lotus of the BJP and the hefty elephant of the BSP too, forget other small and fringe parties.

Let us not look in to statistics of vote shares, victory margins, number of seats etc etc,

but look for the real tangible issues. 

There are big positives of this stupendous outcome.

1.  People of Delhi will probably get to see Ache Din for themselves, if not the whole country as promised by the NAMO team.

2.  AAP will act as a counter balance to the NAMO juggernaut. NAMO team and the BJP will not and can not afford to be arrogant anymore.

3.  BJP will resist the temptation to destabilize the government of other regional parties in their respective states, with an eye to garner requisite numbers in the upper house ( Rajya Sabha ).

4. There is a great possibility of this change coming to all big metropolitan cities. The citizens of these cities are sick of the  existing system of politics in India. There is hardly any difference amongst the major political parties in terms of transparency, corruption, taint - free politicians etc. That is precisely the reason that the electorate of these cities  do not come out to exercise their votes which results in bringing the more established parties back to power That stands to change now

5. Most importantly, BJP will be forced to live up to the promises they have made during the general elections. 

6.  If nothing else,, the non performance of AAP , though I do not wish failure for them, will force the electorate to rethink and look for Alternatives.

However, I strongly feel that the AAP will provide a Clean Alternative in the Indian Politics. Thankfully the AAP will not be the alternative party to look for, away from Congress & BJP but an Alternative to a political system.. That will force the BJP also to change course, which will be for the good of the country.

There is also a possibility of the third front frittering away, which would have been otherwise made the politics more messy.

Let the Common Man rule the cities and the BJP the country at the Center.

Tribute to R K Laxman

Common Man:

मैं एक साधारण व्यक्ति हूँ

      आम आदमी हूँ , यही मेरी पहचान है !

पाँच दशकों पहले, मुझे पहली बार आप लोगों से मिलवाया गया!

अधेड़ सी उम्र, सिर पर ठीक बीच मे चाँद,

उसके नीचे, कानों तक , तीनों तरफ बिखरे बड़े बाल,

       चेहरे पर मोटी काली फ्रेम का चस्मा,

उनके पीछे, हमेशा कुतूहलवश,  कुछ खोजती सी आँखें,

शायद, चेरे पर, च हूँ  और फैले निराशावाद मे, आशावाद ढूनडते भाव !

एक धूलि - अन धूलि कमीज़, उसपर एक चौकड़ी वाला कोट,

         नीचे धोती और पैरों मे चप्पल,

हाँ, यही पहचान लिए मैं आप के बीच आया !

और फिर मैं आप का ही बन कर रह गया !

शायद आप सब लोग भी मुझमे स्वयं को पाते होंगे,

इसीलिए  मैं आप का अपना बन पाया,

या फिर मेरे ब्रम्‍हा ने, मेरे रचनाकार ने, मेरे जीवनदाता ने,

आप सब की स्थिती देख ही मेरा लालन पालन इस प्रकार किया !

खैर जो भी हो, मेरी आप सब की खूब जमी ,

क्या दिन थे वे भी !!

मैं वही आस्चरय चकित भाव से,

    अपने आस पास की घटनाएँ निहारता ,

किसी कोने मे, या भीड़ मे पीछे कहीं छीपा सा खड़ा रहता

और मेरी विस्मयता और लाचारी देख आप मंद मंद मुस्काते थे !

       पाँच दशलों तक, वही अपनी दिनचर्या रही !

इस रोजमर्रा बदाल्ली मे भी, मुझे इस तरह देख कर,

 क्षण भर के लिए ही क्यों ना हो,

      आप के चेहरे पर एक हल्की सी हँसी आती थी,

यही मेरे जीवन दाता की शक्ति थी !

इस क्षण भंगूर जीववन मे , एक क्षण मात्र के लिए ही सही,

मेरे जीवन दाता आप लोगों मे खुशी बटोरते थे !

मैं तो सिर्फ़ एक माध्यम था, और रहूँगा भी !

हाँ यही मेरी सोच थी आज तक !

अचनाक,

मेरा जीवन दाता, अपने ही जीवन से झुँझ रहा था ,

अस्पताल मे उसके बिस्तर के पास, नर्स, डॉक्टर्स

बाहर रिश्तेदार, शुभ चिंतकों का ताँता ,

और वहीं गलियारे में, मैं भयभीत, और असमनजस भाव से सब को देखता खड़ा ,

उन सब के पीछे !

खैर आख़िर अनहोनी को कौन टाल सका है !

मेरा जीवन दाता नही रहा !

मैने रुमाल निकाल कर अपने आँसू पोंछे,

तभी किसी अदृश्य हाथ ने मेरे खनदे पर धीरज से थप थपाया

और कहा " Life must move on, Learn to Live alone  "

यह उनकी ही आवाज़ थी

.मैने भी उपर की तरफ देख कर, थोड़ा सा मुस्कुरा कर कहा

“ You Said It ”

Ghar Vapasi

Is it a case of " Dhobi ka xxxx na Ghar ka , na Ghat ka "??

It is really sad that some radicals want to pull the wheel of growth to a grinding halt, that too in 21st Century. Yes, it is true that BJP is the largest party in the centre. But that does not give any outfit / wing connected in remotest way to the BJP, a free hand to push its own agenda forward in the largest democracy in the world.

It is true that many Hindu families from backward or dalit or adivasi classes were converted to Christianity or Muslim religion by inducements, financial aids etc, for past so many decades, and similarly the RSS, Dharm Jagran Manch etc have been reconverting them back to Hinduism. It is also true that these Hindu outfits have not been indulging in converting Muslims or Christians to Hinduism but concentrating only on reconversions.

However, the biggest problem today is that many parts of rural India are still backward, and illiterate. So all these poor people who do not have a thinking mind of their own, who follow their cast leader blindly fall a pray to the words of their leader, who is allured, induced or compensated well in advance. Then it is all sheep walk. Or else how on earth can explain the mass conversions, which have been taking place.

First these Dalits - Backwards are converted in to Christians or Muslims. Nobody cares a damn, because of vote bank politics. However, when the Hindu Fundamentalists awake and reconvert, then socalled all the secular parties create ruckus, on the streets and in the parliament.

History:

The root cause for this malice perhaps is - Illiteracy.  

There were no anti-conversion laws in British India. After Independence, the Lok Sabha debated two bills that sought to curb conversions, the Indian Conversion (Regulation and Registration) Bill of 1954, and, six years later, the Backward Communities (Religious Protection) Bill. While both bills had wide support, Nehru, playing his usual role as the one-man vanguard of Indian liberalism, saw that both were eventually  binned.

In certain ways it was Gandhi -  Nehru - Congress combination which was responsible for many a problems that we face today. They all did a lot for the country, and their contributions cannot be ignored, but so is the case with many of their gross mistakes.

Situation Today:

Orisa and MP came out with suitable laws for Anti - Conversion. Chattisgarh, Gujrat, Himachal Pradesh followed with similar laws. Foiled at the Centre, anti-conversion laws had greater success in the states. In 1967, Orissa, then ruled by the right-wing Swatantra Party, became the first state to enact a “Freedom of Religion” Law. Madhya Pradesh followed suit the next year, with Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh following with similar legislation. Chhattisgarh inherited Madhya Pradesh’s law when the state was partitioned.

There was a caveat though - the individuals would require permission from the  state governments before such conversions. The major evils of coercion and deception can be dealt with under the general law. It may be difficult to obtain proof but so is it difficult to obtain proof in the case of many other offences, but to suggest that there should be a licensing system for propagating a faith is not proper. It would lead in its wake to the police having too large a power of interference.”

In Madhya Pradesh, it seems, conversions are banned if they take place away from Hinduism.

A good example of the law at work was seen in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh, earlier this fortnight. Four Dalits converted to Islam as a reaction to the caste discrimination they faced. However, under the Madhya Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act, a change of religion requires the permission of the state government. Not only were those four arrested, but Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal activists ensured that they were reconverted to Hinduism. A number of applications for religious conversion now lie with the state government, which refuses to act on them, even as right-wing organizations discuss punitive measures such as the destruction of standing crops and dispossession of land and other property for Dalits who dare to convert in the future.

When these laws first came out in Orissa and Madhya Pradesh, they were immediately challenged in the courts. Matters eventually reached the Supreme Court in 1977, where in the landmark case, Stanislaus v. State of Madhya Pradesh, the court held that conversion, per se, is not a fundamental right under Article 25 and can be regulated by the state

A core belief:

Conversion is often a core part of religion. In fact, restricting conversion not only violates the right to religion but also the right to free speech. Moreover, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ensures that a person’s right to religion also includes the " freedom to change his religion or belief ".

The state has no business policing the religious beliefs of its citizens; neither is it in a position to allow or disallow a change of faith if India is to be a liberal state.

My Recommendation:

The Big question, though is - How to decide that the conversion is not due to allurement, inducement or force , by an outfit of other religion through a leader of the community ?

I feel that the grant of such permission for conversions should be handled by a 3 - 5 member tribunal under the court, consisting of retired judges, and not the state governments. The tribunal should check and verify if the individual / mass conversion is a conscious decision or is it because of inducement, allurement, benefits like - food / health care assistance / education or cash benefits etc.

I have one more wild suggestion  - The Central Government should come out with a bill to Ban all such conversions till India achieves a literacy level of above 70 - 75 % ?

Uber Ban - Knee Jerk Reaction

This one rape has again shaken the countrymen who watch the various TV channels on 24 x 7 basis.Unfortunately the so called experts, activists and politicians and a couple of citizens from the affected city o0r place of incidence, who make rounds on all the TV Channels, in rotation, and on issues under the sun. We hardly see the right people who know the subject and are not affiliated to any party on these channels. Any rate, that is not the issue.

Let us consider the recent rape case:

Whatever happened  has happened. We should not politicise each and every issue, if want our systems to improve. Banning is no solution in my opinion. I remember a case when i was in service in Ranbaxy Ltd, Dewas.

Omelettes was an option to employees who did not like the regular food. One fine day, our receptionist wanted omelette , but it was denied. that resulted in a ruckus. the matter went to our Manger HR. He passed an ordinance of sorts - No more serving of Omelettes. Period. So rather than trying to get to the root cause of the problem, he looked for a simpler, short cut solution, which was dramatic, sensational  but draconian in my opinion.

I am afraid the government of the day also looked for a short term, dramatic, sensational solution by banning Uber Services. It is different issue altogether whether it is a blanket ban because of this incident, or because the company did not have necessary approvals to operate in Delhi. Whatever it may be, it certainly looks a Knee - Jerk Action.

What measures should be taken immediately ?

In my opinion, the following steps are all doable things. How much safety aspect will be addressed is for the experts to discuss and decide.

• The government can open a on line link to get specific suggestions from the public, collate these, scrutinize the same and list down action plan based on considerations of Complexities , Time for Implementation , Cost and set up a cell to implement these in a time bound programme. The status should be made public to see for themselves the progress and get a confidence in the machinery at works.
• Certainly Uber should be held accountable for the security lapses and punished.
• Certainly all the taxi service agencies, who do not operate with proper licences, approvals, check drivers' history from the police etc, should be taken to task with huge penalties, and asked to regularize their records before operating.
• Certainly all taxi operators / Auto Rickshaw drivers should be made to take a Yearly Renewal Permit from the RTO - Police .These agencies should check their records, check his behaviour pattern from the locality  and then only issue  the renewal for the next year 
• Now with Biometric based Adhar Card System, Licences of all drivers should be linked with the Adhar Cards and the data should be made available to the respective States / Cities / Towns. Drivers not having the Adhar should be given time to do so, failing which their licences should be cancelled.
• I propose one more simple system. The Police in Each Town or City should give a Toll Free  Number  and also a Free SMS Number and make it Public with advertisements / display hoarding all over the town / city. The Auto / Taxi Person should call the number and give his personal details like name, auto / taxi number, starting point - End Point etc. and should again call the same number and confirm safe service. The customer should send  SMS giving all the above details and forward a copy to their family members too.

I feel such actions will certainly help us in minimizing recurrences. But these will only be applicable for auto / taxi services. How do we handle other cases of Rapes ? 

I feel each type and category of case should be dealt with in similar way to find a workable solution

Kiss Of Love - A Volcano or a Tsunami ??

It all started in Kochi. It was a small incident, which turned out violent in the end, when some outfits not only opposed and manhandled the kissers, but damaged the assets of the hotel. It was a Kiss in a Hotel in Kochi.That was enough of the spark, needed to lit fire as the other two components the material which could burn - the passion and ego of Youth, and the Oxygen - TV Media and the Internet medium - Twitter and Face Book were readily available to let the heat and fire turn in to a Volcano. The Lava has spread now to other cities like Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangaluru etc. 

Is it not a man made - Volcano or a Tsunami ?? Don;t we see such scenes on the beaches of Bandra, Chaupati, or any such public places or gardens ?

Had it not happened a decade back when Valentine Day was opposed by certain sections of the society.

Sadly when the western countries are slowly but gradually leaning towards our Indian culture and its values, we are moving towards their culture and values, if at all these exist. What is bad or good, what is an acceptable norm or not is and will always be a debatable issue. What movies / scenes people should see or what music to listen and what not is again a debatable issue, and similarly what people should wear and not wear, what they should speak or not and how they should behave or not are all such debatable issues.

There will always be strong Yes and a strong No for such matters. These are all equated with and linked to an individual RIGHT. No doubt about it. But then there is always a thin line which the individual should not cross, which is deemed unacceptable in our Society. However nobody gets a right to take law in his - her hands, just because he - she feels the act is unacceptable in our society. Nobody has a right to sit on a judgment on others behaviour / act. No one has got a right to Moral Policing.

Leave them alone. Let them decide what is good or bad. 

But the very fact that the youth today gets attracted to these behavioural patterns, is certainly alien to our culture. It may require lot of counselling from parents , friends , teachers etc. They may listen and change or may decide against it. In the worst case our culture and values may take a beating, collapse and rise again like a phoenix , if it has intrinsic strengths or finally evolve in to a culture which has goods from all cultures and values.

Let time tell who and what is Right. 

I for one have never supported such moral policing acts, because I am quite positive about intrinsic strengths of our Culture and Values. I am of firm belief that these are all passing times. Our Culture and our Values are Centuries old.  These will stand all such challenges and come out stronger.

To Be Or Not To Be - with BJP ??

The talks between the BJP and Shiv Sena are said to be very positive and constructive at some time in a particular day and the tie up between BJP and Shiv Sena appears to be getting closer and closer and suddenly the everything collapses and falls apart like a castle made from pack of cards. This is the scene for last 20 odd days now. Both sides take a position at the end of the day, and the talks continue on the next day. 

What Shiv Sena has said loudly about the BJP and Mr. Modi during and after the elections is very well known. On the other hand though BJP has maintained non committal stance throughout, BJP is playing tough with Shiv Sena, in the aftermath of the election numbers and pushing Shiv Sena to the corner.

On one side Shiv Sena says that it is not power hungry, but keeps on demanding for larger pie in the power and is demanding plum posts, on the other hand. Where as BJP is acting tough more so, because of the position taken by NCP's Shard Pawar.

The confusion is as good or as bad as it was on day one after election. However, I feel that BJP should show it's 56 inch chest filled with humility in success, rather than showing the 56 inch chest filled with Ego , Revenge and thoughts of cutting the other partner to size. That will be in the larger interest of both the parties and the state too, and to a great extent, of the country too.

Otherwise this state of " To Be or Not to Be - with BJP ",will be the condition of  Shiv Sena.

Politics - A big timeTeacher

If the recent elections results in the Lok Sabha, the Haryana & Maharashtra and also the by polls are any indication then yes, The Politics is a big teacher. No one can take himself, or his party for granted, particularly in Indian Politics. People can talk of waves, anti - incumbacy, governance, development, cast factor, illitracy  etc etc. and come out with loads of statistics and when the results are out, the politicians fall flat on their faces, and have to chew their words and claim that all their utterances were either misquoted by media or were only meant for the the duration of elections alone.

These elections have once again taught the politicians a couple of things:

• Never Ever Assume that you or your party will be on the winners podium with majority numbers, if not absolute majority numbers.
• Never Ever Speak Foul about any party, who is likely to become your strange bed partner after the election.
• Never Ever be so rigid that you eventually eat your own words.
• Never Ever Think that the other party members only should come forward with options and demands.
• Always it is advisable to keep your Ego aside 

In Maharashtra, the BJP is sitting pretty with numbers to their advantage, however they would have been better off if they were little cautious before the elections and had avoided total aggression against NCP. Now it is difficult for them to even consider unconditional support by NCP as a safe bet.

Similarly the Shivsena went hammer and tongue against BJP and Mr. Amit Shah and Mr. Narendra Modi in particular during the elections. The language used by them was unparliamentary and like Mumbai Taporis to say the least. Besides, their ego was so high that they expected BJP to take initiatives and approach them with Offers on Golden Plate. They also thought that Delhi ( BJP bigwigs in Delhi ) would and should come to Matoshri ( Udhav's residence ) like it used to happen in good old days.

Eventually it has so happened that Shiv Sena is looking like fools and beggars of sorts. Now they are making efforts to reach Delhi, with a begging bowl..

They have been taught a lesson, no doubt. But even BJP has a lesson or two to learn, if they want to survive in the rough seas of Indian Politics.

You never know when the tables could turn upside down. Look at the Congress. Arrogance of power can make you bite dust any day. It would do a world of good if BJP has its' feet grounded and if it does not allow the power of the chair to go to their heads.

Labour Reforms

The central government has taken the first step in making big ticket reforms. However, it falls short of some game changing steps, which could have given a big boost to both the workmen and the industry.

As some print media said " It is an attempt to pluck low hanging fruits ", it surely appeared that way. I have read somewhere that the Rajasthan Government has come out with a better plan which is pending with the President of India for final approval. In that case the center should have been a step or two better only.

I would have like to see following inclusions in the proposal:

By the way the Rajasthan Government has already covered some of these issues.

• Labour Unions shall be recognised if they have a membership of at least 40 % of the strength as against 15 %.
• Applicability of Contract Labour ( Regulation & Abolition ) should be raised from 20 at present to 60 - 70 contract labour. But then the rules for regularisation of such labour and converting them to permanent employees, should be changes on the lines suggested down.
• The Contract Labour law should be reviewed and revised. I would suggest that the contract labour needed to work on a repetitive work for more than 1 year continuously should be taken on regular pay role of the company, if the work is operational in nature and directly related to production - manufacturing activity. The contract labour engaged as helpers, cleaners, sweepers etc can be engaged through a contractor. However, it would be the responsibility of the corporates to ensure that their salaries are given as per minimum wages acts, from time to time.The corporates should also ensure that the contractor covers them under ESIS, and other welfare schemes and also give a reasonable profit to the contractor.
• The Labour Unions should first give their demands in writing and seek amicable solutions through dialogues. The Corporates should give a timeline for at least 3 - 4 meetings for arriving at an amicable solution, failing which the matter should be taken up to a tribunal or state governments labour department. If no solution is arrived at, then the Labour Reforms should first seek redressal from the labour courts or high courts, before taking up the last step of a strike, after giving a notice of 1 month. This will certainly help in minimizing labour unrest.
• The working hours should be fixed. O T should be allowed only in case the reliever does not report on duty. This will ensure necessary health fitness levels across the board.
• The Overtime should be fixed at 2.5 / 3 times as against 2 times their basic and DA. This way the menace of engaging people on OT and not taking workmen on regular roles, will be minimized. The corporates.
• The Factory Act should be applicable for  minimum 40 workmen , against 10 at present, for  industries using power and 70 workmen against 20 at present, for industries not using power.
• Employers having a strength of 300 workmen against 100 at present, should be allowed to retrench workmen without seeking government's approval
• I have also observed that the unions normally enter in to an agreement with the managements for a period of 3 years, and the salary hike is normally 15 to 20 % and spread over 3 years. The corporates should be forced to agree for a hike which is either equal to or more than the cumulative inflation rate of preceding 3 years.

If these and some more steps are taken then we can see good boost to the economy and manufacturing sector as a whole.

Toilets for All

I have thought of an idea for providing toilets in farthest of corners of india. The government should introduce a bill &  Tell all the MPs of Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha that they all would get Rs.1 Crore  each in a year  for building toilets in the villages falling under their constituencies  besides their allocation of Rs.2 crore to be spent on development  works in their respective constituency and produce a certificate of completion from the respective gram panchayats / corporations etc. In case they spend that in earlier than one year, they can be given given additional Rs. 1 Cr. This will be then truly an INCLUSIVE Growth, no one earlier had thought off. Let it not be the responsibility of the government machinery only for implementing this and many such similar dream projects, Be it City Cleaning, Ganga Cleaning etc. And yes, extend the same to the MLAs at State Level. There the cap could be Rs. 50 L each. If this approach is adopted the completion of this laudable project would create a history of sorts for inclusiveness and speedy completion. I do not think any opposition, including the Congress would dare to oppose this bill.
