Food Security Bill- A farce..Food4Vote

Food Security Bill, popularly known as FSB, has been passed in Lok Sabha and most of the political parties, of course with demand for various amendments, eventually supported it. We all know, that Congress is viewing it as a Game Changer, to camouflage, their deteriorating performance in UPA-2. Otherwise, why did it choose such a timing when the elections of 2014 are just round the corner? Food Security for people under BPL, was promised in UPAs manifesto, way back in mid 2009.. Were they waiting for poor people’s patience and problems to increase extremely high, hence they would immediately succumb to this plot of cheap food and eventually vote for food.

In BJP ideology,

Antyodaya-that is providing for the person belonging to the lowest starta of society, residing in the remotest corner, is it’s basic philosophy.. A part of its Panch nishtha..

Hence, the idea of Food Security is not at all novel for BJP and BJP run states, where large section of the society, is under BPL, such schemes have been successfully operative, since years. In fact, Hon. CM of Chattisgarh, Shri Raman Singh, is popularly known as “Chawal wale Baba” by the people of his state..

But,

 many loopholes in the bill that UPA has created.

First and foremost, the planning commission has charted out new dimensions for BPL. Any person earning Rs. 28 a day in rural areas and Rs. 33 in urban area falls under BPL. People earning little more than this DO NOT come under BPL!!! [Meaning, all those earning about Rs. 40 to 50, will not be liable to gain benefits from this scheme!!!] This has created a new Lower Income group, as rocketing price rise of basic food would not be affordable to the people earning little above BPL.

Secondly, with this new definition, GOI claims that they have brought down the poverty from 37% during 2004-05 to 21% in 2011.

But, in reality, they may have mathematically brought down Poverty, but have increased Poor.

Poor, who are bearing the brunt of steep price rise but are unable to get solace in form of Food Security from the Govt.!!!

Thirdly, This new bill is going to impose large burden on the economy. With failing rupee, sensex dipping low, Gold increasing, basic food prices sky-rocketing, the economy is already in doldrums. Does the Govt. have any action plan to procure the huge sum necessary to fulfill the commitment of this bill.. If, the back breaking load is put on tax-payers back, he would surely stumble, creating yet another poor class.

Fourthly, Colossal quantum of grains that would require to be sold at throw away price, will have to be grown and sold by farmer. Will the farmer be able to afford this lumber on its shoulder??? Possibility is, farmers may sell their land and stop farming or they may fall in the group that requires Food Security!!!

BJP demanded answers and Amendments regarding these basic nitty-gritty, but of course, UPA refused to oblige. Being only 116 members in LokSabha, BJP had no other alternative to prevent it from passing.  Many argue, that BJP should have opposed the bill.

But,

The truth is, BJP does not oppose the food for the poorest as Antyodaya is its soul. At the same time, BJP did raise demand for Amendments for its execution  but for UPA it is not Food for all, but it is Food for Vote..

Strangling of Secularism...

We dwell in belief that we live in Secular Democratic set-up.

But,

Do we really do so??? Does this term “Secular”  really prevails??? Doesn’t this Democracy that we proudly portray has vanished in thin air???

With each passing day, the term Secularism is hit so hard that it has lost it’s glory.

Is the Secularism projected by Congress is, what the term is meant for??? On the contarary, it has been twisted as per converting it into Vote Bank!!!

Secularism is treating each religion or religious beliefs with equal respect, where no religious beliefs are imparted any special provisions. Freedom to hold peaceful religious rallies and processions are also the beeline of Secularism. VHP and the Sant Samaj plan 84 Kos Ayodhya Yatra, every year. This year the UP Govt. feared that their failure in Governance in last one and half years and increasing chaotic condition, in UP, would drive away the voters in upcoming elections to the party that has communicated Good Governence, in most of the states, like MP, Gujarat, Chattisgarh, Goa. Hence to camouflage this malfunction, the Samaj Wadi party indulged in forbidding the 84 kos Ayodhya Yatra, that takes place each year!!! Moreover, to woo the minority votes, that SP rides mainly on, it stooped to lowest ebb of creating rift between two religions. SP Govt. had not dared to deny Muslims offering idd prayers publicly or taking out Tajia proicessions during Idd festivals. Now, what do we call that? Secularism or Appeasement???

Constitution of India has provision for taking out peaceful rallies and procession as Freedom of Religious Expression, but the UP Govt has limited this provision to suit its appeasement policy. It has denied the VHP supporters and the Sant Samaj to take out their procession, which is a regular practice of theirs, especially this year as this is pre-poll year to mollify Muslim voters!!!

Now,

Who is politicizing the issue??? The VHP-Sant Samaj or the SP Govt ???

By strangling the soul of democratic provision of our constitution, the SP is feeding poison of appeasement to the Muslims of state. Promoting inclusive tolerance and inclusive growth is the solution for this situation but SP would not agree with it as development is not the road map of their election strategy of 2014!!! If the Govt. feared chaos, law and order is state’s duty and it can always take non-biased action against those damaging the soul of democratic provisions.

Samajwadi Party ‘s conduct has deviated many voters away from them.

Bonding with national interest...

As the festival of bonding approaches closer, mindsets revolve around numerous happenings that are taking place each day, sending shivers down our spines for our tomorrows.

All around us, with each sunrise, there comes a moment, a situation that provokes us to dwell in shudder and pray God for a better tomorrow.. External as well as internal abuses on our Mother Land, from China and Pakistan borders to insurgent terrorism from Pakistan to instigating Naxalism and creating Red Corridor within the boundary of our nation, by China are increasing at rapid speed. No single day passes off without violation of ceasefire on our borders. Not to mention natural calamities like Uttarakhand flood that our Central Govt. has been unable to handle it effectively.

But,

What pains the most is our administrations incapability, to pay the reply in befitting manner..

And,

That is not due to lack of strength in our resources but the cause lies in deficiency of pure intention because of vote bank appeasement.

Today,

To mollycoddle minorities and to portray Secularism, to the world, the ruling Govt. has twisted the term Secularism to Appeasement and they have stooped to he level of pleasing the minorities even at the cost of country’s valuable security. Each passing day, Pakistan indulges in open and shut attack from Jammu s Poonch border, once beheads our soldiers, the next kills 5 of our jawans, still our Defence Minister pleads their case as “it could be terrorist insurgency in camoflague!!!” Had there not been steep pressure from Opposition as well as Media, the Dear Mr. Anthony would have been pleased to address the Pak army attack as one more of terror attack and rest aside the case!!! Sadly, the Hon. PM can not get over with the idea of terminating Peace Talks with Pak, unless they confirm of behaving themselves.. On the contarary, Pak’s representatives, every single day, declare on our national media that it is India, that is indulging in unprovoked attacks on them!!!..

The story does not end here..

India s most wanted terrorists like Dawood Ibrahim and Hafeez Sayeed find protected shelter in Pakistan and Pak completely denies their existence on their soil. Their officials are unwilling to consider Hafeez Sayeed as terrorist but instead respectfully address him as Philanthropist!!!

But,

Indian Govt. won’t raise a voice..

The prime reason, along with appeasement is concealing their indulgence in one scam after another.. At the moment, the Coalgate scam has been roaring its existence and its dark shadow covers every nook and corner that reaches the PMO!!! Hence, suddenly few files have been found missing and the reason propagated for those “important” documents disappearance, says they are kept in vertical boxes, thus unable to be located!!! Sounds weird and absurd, both..

But,

What is not???

The entire existence of UPA Govt and the role of Congress chairperson emerges as fishy, with least commitment towards welfare of this nation and using this country’s unlimited resources to fill their bellys..

But,

Today, starts bonding day.. Bonding between brothers and sisters, bonding between intelligence and strength, bonding between courage and commitment..

And,

A bonding between an oath and triumph, to take this country forward and leave behind unfaithful creatures that have ruled our Mother Land for a long time.

Bharat Mata ke charno main...

They say India was born 66 years back!
But,
I beg to differ..
As this belief, that has been consistently propagated by Congress, that they have been the cause for birth of this nation is untrue!!!
This country known as Bharat varsh came into existence more than 6000 years back and since then it has shouldered the most glorious heritage filled with courage, culture and commitment.
Bharat or Hindusthan has been the epicenter of prosperous civilization dating back to about 6000 years ago.
About 200 years ago, the foreigners, mainly from the Western Europe, penetrated into Bharat, being attracted by its flourishing legacy. First, with the projected motive of business and later on with the idea of ruling, the Britishers captured Bharat under its clutches. After a prolonged span of war of independence, the country was successful in driving away these bandits. Of course, lot was sacrificed in attaining this freedom and our freedom fighters fought tooth and nail to make Bharat, a proud nation.
But,
Sadly and scornfully, these Brigands from Europe did not go without damaging the sovergenity of the land. The British felons ignited the 'divide and rule' fallacy and set fire in Bharat Mata's undivided heritage.. It set fire to religious endurance that was prevailing since last 1000 years, on this land.
And,
Very painfully, one child, [probably that had portrayed notorious personality since quite some time] became prey to this provocation and separated from Akhand Bharat.
Thus,
14th August can be a birthday for Pakistan but not that of Bharat. In fact, on this grim day, Bharat Mata lost one of her child. It is yet another story, that this disreputable child, named Pakistan has not been able to earn brownie points, be it economically or socially.
Today, the same dishonored child, Pakistan is consistantly shamelessly attacking the soul from where it was born and violating Bharat Mata's heartbeats. It seems the caretakers of Bharat Mata, sitting in Delhi are too weak, to protect her from such devilish child. His Master's voice that was to issue a stern warning from The Laal Quila, today, on 15th August has been victim of vulnerability..Probably it is extremely weak to present a befitting reply to this tarnished child, in our North West.
But,
There is always a Silver lining in every Black cloud. This time, the sun has risen on Western coast in Gujarat and a leader dedicated to serve Ma Bharati, is born on soil of Gujarat. The strong reply to Pakistan's misconduct is being given from Lallan College in Bhuj, Kutch by Shri Narendra Modi..
It was India, that came into existence 66 years back but Bharat Mata has been the jewel of this globe for time eternal.
Bharat Mata ki Jay.

Mr. PM.. Indians will not forgive you for stooping to Pak.

The conduct of current UPA Govt. has rendered the term “shame” also appear inadequate to expose the incapability and gutlessness.

Now,

The shame has been left behind...

And,

In the process, Manmohan Singh on the verge of bending backward on the most crucial issues that hampers Indian pride to a great extent. After Nawaz Sharrif appearing on the Pak political scene in May, Pakistan has been attacking on Indian border repeatedly and not in isolation. In fact, the attacks appear well designed and with blessings of highest authority and being followed under able guidance!!! In last 5 days, the recent attack at Poonch, in Jammu is the third one!!! Since last few months, Pak atrocities have reached a level that if it is not replied and shown a red eye, it could lead to colossal consequences. The intrusion from Pak has momentously increased in last few months.

The blood on the bodies of two Shaheeds, one of them who was beheaded, has not even dried up.. We still talk of peaceful reconciliation...Newly appointed Pak Govt. insistently forces us to indulge in peace-talks excluding mention of 26/11!!!..We still talk of peaceful reconciliation...

And,

Pak army violates ceasefire and breaks LOC and within the Indian territory, butchers 5 of Indian Jawans..We still talk of peaceful reconciliation!!!

Is the UPA Govt. on the spree of earning Aman ki Aasha at the cost of Indian pride???

Today, when the country awaited a tough address portraying determination to dare such occurrence ever happening in future, the Hon. Defence Minister read out spineless communication that frustrated the common men of the country.. As usual, the Hon. Prime Minister took a Maun vrat!!! expecting the country to believe that when he shares Chole-Bhature with Pak PM, Nawaz Sharif, in US next month, he will bow down to Pak PM and the matter will get resolved!!! The country wishes to know the secret understanding between the two, that compels the Indian PM to seal his mouth from uttering any warnings.

Where are many of the always outspoken Chief Ministers of this country? BJP’s Chief Minister, Shri Narendra Modi who was first to register his anguish and fury over Pak’s atrocities. Where are Mulayam Singh, Lalu Prasad, Mamta di, Akhilesh, Nitish Kumar? Preserving their minority appeasement programme?

Dear PMO..

Its pity you can not hear the bells ringing around.. Bells that project sheer pain of countrymen.. Today, the entire Parliament in session, condemned severely the Pakistan’s massacre but PMO did not concede..Media, too has sternly disparage such cowardly act of UPA..

But,

All that Congress leaders will coddle in is Opposition bashing...

Now, it has not remained just an opinion of opposition but it has turned into people’s voice. Voice that is extremely annoyed with UPA’s pusillanimous conduct. 

Bharat Nirmaan... Huk ya Shque???

Bharat Nirmaan ‘s glossy ads definitely are attractive as well as eye-catching.

But,

That’s the creative part of it...

wly projected figures regarding poverty line and poor, has created a deprived class, which does not fall in the category to receive food aid from the Govt. but does not even earn enough to fill its tummy with sufficient food...The person earning Rs. 32 in urban area and Rs.28 in rural area is entitled to gain the benefit of “great” food bill that is proposed through Ordinance by UPA Govt..!!! Any one earning a little more, does not fall under poverty line and they fail to gain the basic food at extremely low prices..

And,

The life’s misery does not end with basic food. One needs accommodation, basic clothes to cover the body as well as medicine and education.

And,

All these to be afforded within the sum of Rs. 32 and Rs. 28!!!

We seem to be living in fool’s paradise..

Those barely earning above this stipulated amount, has been categorized as not poor!!! Imagine, a person making about 40 to 50 Rs a day but has to buy basic food at sky-rocketing price that has shot up fiercely. Not only the basic food but also the other basic necessities for survival has to be included!!!

And,

This back breaking expenses without any Govt. assistance has turned them into helpless class.

On the other hand, the desperate UPA-2 has resorted to lowest levels to re-gain the power. The non-visionary, commitment-less UPA Govt  has stooped to such tactics that has created un-canny scars on their souls as the dreadful picture of forever ascending price-rise may turn them into new-fangled underprivileged class!!!

All these, to regain some honor from their wrong-doings. To propagate and gain the sympathy of decreasing poverty from 2004-05 at 37% to 2011-12 at 21%, on paper the poverty is forcefully denied and sadly the poor have increased.

And,

Not to talk about the quality of food that is being provided to BPL people. The fiasco of Mid-day meal is proof enough of deprecating quality that is being fed to our own people, in order to gain sympathy and eventually votes.

Mid-day meal is the recent example of our shameless soul. The generation next has been the victim of such thirst for votes and power hunger. The inferior quality food that was being fed to destitute kids is heartbreaking.

And,

Such debacle has unveiled the failure of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan in certain states as well as center. 27,258 crore is being spent on this mission.. 13,215 crore is the yearly expense of mid-day meals.

But,

Still, 81 lakh children not attending schools and 12.5 lakhs posts of teachers lying vacant.

Hence,

The Bharat Nirmaan, that is being done by our taxes is not uplifting an under-priviledged.. Instead, being treated as an lustrous ad film to create a fictious appeal to gain votes...

Shame.
