BJPs SDMC has given a new spin to PM Modi's famous Election Promise "NA KHAUNGA AUR NA HE KISI KO KHAANE DOONGA" ......
In blatant disregard for Federal Structure of Governance, SDMC has hit a new low. These are harsh words, but when elected representatives throw Public Welfare to the winds in order to stop another elected wing of governance from discharging their duties, then Residents cannot remain mute spectators.
It all started in October 2015, when I requested our MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj to install Open Gym in our colony park. Constant followup with MLA got repetitive response, "Funds have been sanctioned and it is in the process". After seven months of followup, we wrote a stinker to our MLA, who produced letters showing dates on which amounts from MLA Fund were transferred to SDMC.
Dispelling charges of lack of interest in Posh Areas, Saurabh Bhardwaj circulated a White Paper (attached) and raised the issue of non compliance by SDMC in Vidhan Sabha and moved a Privilege Motion against the Commissioner in the House, prompting SDMC Commissioner to float tenders.
In a Surprising and Reprehensible move SDMC Standing Committee in its November 2016 Meeting held on 25-11-2016 passed a resolution prohibiting Commissioner to carry out projects under MLA Fund, not stopping at just that ..... even instructing the Commissioner to return any funds received under MLA Fund immediately. (full minutes of November 2016 meeting attached)
WHERE DOES THE HAPLESS CITIZEN GO ...... IS A PIL IN HIGH COURT THE ONLY SOLUTION ?????
