We have numerous examples in Delhi, the proud initiator of the Bhagidaari movement, where details of projects that directly affect the lives of millions of residents are rarely put before the RWAs even as they meet high-level officials regularly at gatherings hosted by the government. The planning and execution process is not part of even legislative business. Most of these projects are rarely discussed in the House and rarely take into account inputs from the MLAs or councillors. The authorities find it easier to have their way where the RWAs are a divided lot. Proliferation of more than one RWA in a locality, each trying to subvert the other, is the biggest handicap for the citizen's movement in Delhi and the NCR. Half a dozen residents from a disgruntled faction and a few thousand rupees are all it takes to register yet another RWA under the Societies Registration Act.
