Tomorrow (29th Sept) our Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh will be visiting a tribal village called Tembhali in Nandurbar district to inaugurate the Unique Identity Card. And guess what? Almost overnight the facade of the tribal village has changed for better because Mr. Singh is visiting there...
Tembhali is situated on the bank of Gomai river bordering Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh with a population of 2000 villagers. While the CWG’s work is taking ages to get complete, the district administration in the small unknown (till now) tribal village have built a cement concrete road almost overnight and provided electricity to 100 houses under Rajiv Gandhi Electrification Scheme... imagine where were these district administration since 1947??? Why the village never got electricity before the Prime Minister had to pay a visit (for vote bank obviously) since the last six plus decades??? Any answers Dr. Singh???
Newspapers report says that a telephone set was installed at Tembhali’s Gram Panchayat Member Subhash Sonawane’s house... Ration shops, old school building, gram panchayat office, aganwadis and primary school of the village have a brand new look with fresh whitewash... all these happened because the PM is visiting... what a sham!!! Really, the UPA – II government has no shame at all for neglecting the interior rural villages of India, where electricity, drinking water, roads, sanitation and proper schools are not meant for the less fortunate ones... while they can spend crores and crores on, for a 14-day sports extravaganza to put the nation to shame with corruption seeping from every single drop of these white-clad political leaders...
All these years the poor tribals must have not even seen how a ration card looks like when they were given new ration card and like a magical wand working out of nowhere, work was being in progress to fill up prescribed form on computer in village’s old school building as all key officials are on the double to get the work done before PM arrives on 29th September to launch the UID card...
The reason I am sharing this piece of news with the world is because I just want everyone to know that things can be done almost overnight because of fear factor but they are never done if they are sanctioned through the red tape mechanism... If I would have been PM, I would be visiting one remote village every day, so that every single village will be lucky like Tembhali... but our PM prefers to sleep even when the Parliament is in full session... and mind you he sleeps well with all the noise and hungama...
But there is an after effect also, which is much uglier than the rosy picture that you have just read above... no sooner the PM will depart, the computer from the school will be lifted to some official’s house, new ration cards will be snatched away back from the villagers by officials, electricity supply will be cut and what not...
Well, God save my country from such leaders and system!!!
