Lucrative but Deceptive.

Lately the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) promulgated the new Food Security Bill. The food security bill which has been enacted by the government in order to woo the pauper denizens of the nation in the election time is somehow in the long run going to condemn and upbraid the whole nation.

The bill plans to distribute grains to two-third of the Indian population at 90 per cent subsidy costing over Rs. 100,000 crores.

The food security bill aims at giving people many things with nothing and is going to deteriorate the work ethics. At election time the government is just bus in pitching its permanent perpetual vote bank. This bill can be termed as the most brilliant strategy used by the UPA government to woo the voters.

But if we mull over the real welfare of the nation then I would suggest that the government should invest such a whopping amount for the amelioration of country’s business. The colossal amount of money could have been spent on roads, business, for the erection of new hospitals, dams and schools, in order to renovate the sloppy economy and such things if used warily could be used to raise the state’s revenue taxes and could be used to create new jobs and could carve out new path for entrepreneurial development. But if Congress does this thing then it would probably lose its vote bank but the thing is that if you want to lead the country then you have to do what a political party can’t do. You have to come ahead as a leader, have to think for the nation but not for election.

There are other risk factors pertinent to the bill to.

The first thing is our economy. We saw in the latest budget session, the vulnerability of the national finances as well as dearth of monetary funds being faced by country’s economy. The country’s faltering economy just can’t afford such an enormous amount. The other thing is that, what the whole India has noticed in such provisions are scams and that the money intended to be allocated to poor people have been diverted in glut to some unauthorised people. Hence the bill is not implemented impeccably at the grass root level could bear huge scams leading to tarnishing and slandering of country’s image with scam charges and accusations.

The other thing is forgery. In Karnataka around 83% people call themselves poor which the state data blatantly shows that even less than a quarter of people in the state are pauper. While last year the West Bengal government came to know that the 40% of the BPL (Below Poverty Line) card holders are in fact not at all poor and impoverished.

 

And in this case it looks as if the government is itself trying to make people lazy and indolent and want to create a vote bank for it rather than creating new jobs and opportunities in the country.

 

At last I would like to conclude that the government notwithstanding making its people lazy should help the poor people in rising above and debilitating the poverty word from the country.
