Lets discuss two things: should we stop the construction of the Central Vista project(And why is Shiv Sena kissing the ass of Congress Party(
Hello and welcome to The show!
Many of the same arguments have also come from Congress and their IT cell”, that Modi doesn’t care about people, that’s why he is continuing with Central Vista during COVID
Shiv Sena’s turn from Alpha to Beta continues as they act like lawyers of the Congress Party
And we will come to Shiv Sena’s love for Nehru gandhi family, but let’s talk about the first issue
WHat is Central Vista? Goal is to redevelop Rajpath between Rashtrapati Bhavan and India Gate, by creating a new common Central Secretariat to house all ministries, a new Parliament building near the present one with increased seating capacity
new residence and office for the Vice President and the Prime Minister near the North and South Blocks
So there are two questions here
First question is: Why spend the money on Central Vista when it could have been spent on COVID relief?
The big misunderstanding is, that when it comes to COVID relief, its not a money problem.Its a supply chain problem
The PM cares fund has a lot of money:
The PM CARES Fund had allocated Rs.201.58 crores for installation of additional 162 dedicated (PSA) Medical Oxygen Generation Plants inside public health facilities in the country.”
The problem is that only 33 have been installed so far:
They didn’t extend the supply credit line soon enough to SII to make the vaccines in time. They should have done it in December/january, but they did it in April
This is why we shortage of Oxygen and Vaccines. Money is not the problem, delay is the problem.
Second question: Why do it now when the country is going through a pandemic
They are right. Lets stop everything. Lets stop making bridges, roads, all infrastructure projects, all industrial production,
There are hundreds of projects being executed by various depts. Because of this situation, you cannot let Governance come to a standstill.
Government employees are still getting paid, public works are still happening
Third: What is the need?
Currently, Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and Central Hall have seating capacities of 552, 245 and 436 respectively, with no scope for adding any new seat.
During joint sessions, temporary chairs are placed on the aisles so that all the members can sit.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha election, 545 MPs will represent a population of over 1.30 billion.
India tops the people per MP ratio with India’s 543 MPs serving 1.5 million people each, far higher than the global average of 145,880/MP
The number of MPs has to increase
The number of Lok Sabha constituencies was frozen in 1976 up to 2001. When this 25-year term was over, it was again pushed back by 25 years
and now the next delimitation exercise is scheduled for 2026, which is fast approaching
After delimitation, number will reportedly increase to 888 from 545 and 384 members from 245 for Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha respectively
.We will have to seat them in the grounds
Over the years, three new buildings had to be added because of the workload on Parliament
The Parliament House Annexe came up in 1975; the Parliament Library Building in 2002, and the extension to Parliament House Annexe was done in 2017
Already, this has required crores of rupees from time for maintenance.
Infrastructure is antiquated and deteriorating
So we either sink crores into this dilapidated building, or we create a state of the art building for the needs of the next 100 years
Finally, when the economy and people’s incomes have suffered so much
the Central Vista project will create income for small to large construction, steel, design companies
and create direct & indirect employment for thousands of skilled, semi-skilled & unskilled workers in these times
Now let me explain to you why people don’t like voting for Congress Party. Because Congress Doesn't know what it wants
just like they proposed same farm laws as BJP and then opposed them
During the Congress-led UPA rule, Meira Kumar’s Officer on Special Duty (OSD) sent a formal letter to
the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs., stating that the construction of a new Parliament building should be given top priority
And finally, Congress & its allies are splurging on a new project reconstructing an MLA hostel in Maharashtra worth 900 crores
& building a new Legislative Assembly building in Chhattisgarh.
These people are like the sass in an Indian serial. Cannot make them happy.
If you don’t do it, then they will say, why are you not expanding, 56 inch chest, couldn’t plan to fit the new MPs?
Speaking of confused Party, lets talk about Shiv Sena. This was a party of hard Hindutva
When LK Advani said that his tears weren’t stopping after demolition of Babri, Balasaheb thackeray said, if my workers did it, I am happy.
I'm painting a picture of Shiv Sena's previous stance
Same Shiv Sena today, is now putting up posters where they have removed Hindu hriday Samrat
Thackeray Used to ally with Congress
Balasaheb Thackeray had respect for Indira gandhi, who he saw as decisive
But he hated the Congress leaders that came after her, because of their support to pseudo-secularism. He called them and NCP scoundrels
He had gone as far as saying that it would be better to hand-back India to the Britishers than being governed by Sonia Gandhi
November 2012. He said, “Overthrow the Congress governments in the state and at the Centre, which are a ‘cancer’
But today his son is simping for the Gandhi family
We used to say about the English that they are not their own but this can apply to Shiv Sena as well.
But just as when the party made an alliance with Owaisi for Amravati Municipal
there is a danger to them politically for allying with Congress because their core base is Hindutva and Anti-Congress.
So for Short term political gain, viz, to sit on the throne once, Uddhav is willing to sacrifice the long term future of the party
Because voters are looking at this and thinking, why not vote for the BJP.
PLus, they have a Maharashtrian as CM face.
