| While MLAs fight for their salaries; CDF, common man suffers: Harsh | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, June 4: Expressing concern over the failure of the elected representatives to espouse the cause of common man in the Assembly, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP and former Minister regretted that such mandated leaders were fighting for enhancement of their own salaries and perks inside the legislative rather than projecting the concerns of the general public. He said that the state was passing through a worst ever phase of mis-goverance with different sections of society agitating on the streets but their voice hardly found any echo inside the legislature. He was addressing a huge public gathering in Palnoo, Balpur and Sundla villages of Majalta tehsil. Pointing towards the unprecedented unscheduled power cuts in harsh summers, Harsh Dev Singh said that the people were experiencing the worst nightmares with the government sleeping over the issue and the elected representatives unconcerned enjoying the cool breezes of Kashmir. He said that regular protests on the issue of power supply and water crises had fallen deaf ears with no takers for the same in Assembly. He said that while the people were expecting their representatives to project their grievances in the Assembly so as to mitigate their woes and sufferings, the said leaders were fighting for enhancement of their own salaries and emoluments besides their discretionary grants of CDF.
Describing the demand of legislators for pay hike as unreasonable and ill-timed, Harsh Dev Singh said that the government was presently faced with the worst ever financial crises with the negligible wages of DRWs, Casuals, contractual, consolidated workers, Anganwari and Asha workers, SPOs, SSA teachers, academic arrangement lecturers and others remaining unrevised and unpaid for months together. Pointing towards the mis-utilization of CDF by certain legislators, as recently reported in the media, Singh called for strict vigil in the use of the said discretionary grant. Ridiculing the demand for enhancement of CDF by certain unscrupulous members as againstseveral scrupulously honest MLAs, Harsh Dev Singh said that these MLAs had not utilized even 10% of their CDF released to them after the new government was formed on March 1, 2016. He pointed out that MLA Ramnagar had spent only Rs 23 lakh till date out of Rs187 lakh released by the planning department and needed to explain the reasons for his further demands. He said that recent reports of some of the MLAs releasing CDF grants for personal reasons in favour of individual beneficiaries for repairs and renovations of their private houses for votes was required to be thoroughly probed. |
