The parliament's monsoon session is just a month away and the political parties are all ready to raise matters with utter gravity to exhibit themselves as the Pro-People party. But UPA (United Progressive Alliance) has gone a step further than others to woo the vexed and miffed people of India who are unhappy with the incumbent government over the rife of scams which they have noticed in the tenure of this government by making the food security bill an ordinance.
The scam-tainted UPA government's desperate measure to sway the voters by portraying its "alacrity" for "welfare oriented reforms".
But the thing is that this food security bill is completely sham and has been ingeniously developed to dupe the naive poor people who have been wrongly shown the bogus dreams of good standard of living by the UPA government.
First thing is that the programme would require more than 61 million tonnes of food grain and is expected to cost the government about Rs. 1,25,000 crore. Procurement of such a grandiose amount of the grains are definitely going to shock the financial figures and the second thing is it would restrain the open market supply of grain and would inflate the prices of food.
It is an established fact that over 25 Lakh people in India die every year of hunger and that 1/3 of the world's hungry are Indians despite the economic development. But all these things have taken place just due to wrong policies. We are investing on industries, foreign economy matters but we have made no significant investment on the indigent population of our nation and on human resource development.
But unfortunately this bill is also doing what its predecessors have done. It is trying to expand the concurrent food security measures without discarding the impurities in the existing one. More the impurities and defects, more the malfunctioning. People of India would be more delighted if they even get a small system but sans impurities but the contemporary government in order to secure seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha Polls could do anything to efface the stigma that it is a "scam-oriented government" and just wants to rub the old memories of haunting scam which even today continue to scare the leaders and that why they are doing things which are good for their government rather than the people of India for whom they function.
According to an estimate a third of food subsidy reaches the house of the beneficiary and around 71% is frittered away going futile due to imperfections and leakages in the system of distribution of food to the needies. While these wasteful organisations are going to be given so much attention very less attention would be allocated to the sectors which indeed want them.
UPA has said that it has fulfilled its promise, but think over it, if people to whom the promise was made are not going to be benefitted then what is the significance of that promise. If you are to fulfill your promise then do something good and wonderful for people who have elected you to that supreme throne. And what about the UID scheme which has been thrashed by the red tapes.What about the government's flagship UID, which has not been able to come up?
If the government goal really was innocuous and gentle then I think that it should have focused on schemes like MGNREGA and Child Development Services. The government should look on these sectors rather than fulfilling its old dirty "promises".
May God bless you.
May God bless India
