Minority politics: All promise, no delivery
ZEE News | Jan 18, 2012, New Delhi:
Minority politics gets a facelift every time elections are due. And when Uttar Pradesh is going to polls, temperature rises beating even deep winter chill. But this does not change the course of the destiny for the minority community.
Again, when it comes to the number of upper primary schools constructed in minority concentrated districts, Manipur, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh score poorly. Manipur witnessed a 100 per cent gap while it was 30 per cent and 10 per cent gap respectively for Uttarakhand and UP.
The number of teachers sanctioned for districts with substantial minority population is also on the lower side in states ready for elections. While Goa and Manipur show 100 per cent below performance targets, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand show a deficit of 50 per cent and 40 per cent respectively.
‘Indira Awas Yojana’, which aims to provide housing for the rural poor, ended up not spending the allocated budgets for minorities under the PM scheme. Manipur and Punjab have spent less with 94.7 per cent 85.44 per cent gap respectively. Goa, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh too fared poorly with 81.6 per cent, 73.43 per cent and 43.89 per cent gap respectively in the prescribed spending target.
