Further to what Mr. B.S. Vohra has already stated with documentary evidence reminding the CM of his pre-poll promise of empowering the RWAs, by introducing the RWA Act which will make RWAs Statuary Bodies.
This election promise far from being implemented seems to have been shelved as the introduction of Mohalla Sabhas does not include RWAs. Nor were RWA representatives invited for discussions while formulating the Guidelines for Mohalla Sabhas.
By introducing one more layer of elected body for Grievance Redresal, it seems to be another attempt to accommodate Party Carders in positions of pelf ..... apart from the already established Avenues of Public Representation ie MP, MLA, Councillor, RWAs and now Mohalla Sabha ....... EVEN MEDIA PLAYS A ROLE in Voicing Public Issues ....... Where was the need for another Body to do what all the above have failed to achieve.
There are many avenues to voice our concerns for delivery of services ...... what needs to be addressed is to streamline the Delivery Mechanism ....... ON THAT FRONT BOTH MODI AND CM ARE SILENT.
We the RWAs will continue to play our Role ....... unwanted as we may be by the Political Class.
FOR REAL CHANGE ...... CHANGE WHAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED ...... WORKING OF DELIVERY MECHANISM.
Warm Regards,
Rajiv Kakria
