One should attempt to realise what these centrally sponsored schemes are. In doing so one will realise what the Government has done for us. It seems as the trend reveals no one realises what these schemes mean to us. Leaders of political parties can easily hijack public opinion if the common masses are ignorant about the Government policies and programmes. Some leaders also attempt to befuddle public mind by presenting concocted lies of the important policies launched by the Government of India. Food security Bill, IAY, MGNREGA, SSA, RTI etc are for uplifting the living conditions of the common masses. Influential men, who are well to do or moneyed men, have no right to talk about food security bill. If they speak anything on the topic it will be distorted version of the act. For when the act is implemented successfully they will not get anything. The act is for the millions and millions of poor people, who constitute 80 percent of the 1.23 billion people of the country. We feel sad when someone makes irresponsible utterances on the act. Equally irresponsible as they are with the blabbering clash they say, the act will jeopardise the growth of the country. Many others all influential say, the act will make millions of people of the country dullards for when the rice and food grains are made available at cheaper rate they will not like working. Oh God teach these speakers how to show love and care to the needy people. One must know all these moneyed class people were once poor kids, who were brought up by their poor mother selling vegetables or shaking rice at the rice mill. As if they were born with the silver spoon in their mouth like the prince of Buckingham they have forgotten the past and they speak invectives that hurt the sentiment of the poor people rather than comforting them. Congress party understands that the act will wipe out the hungers of the masses. The other parties took time to realise that. Owing to pressure from the masses they followed the line set by the ruling party. The situation now calls for serious thinking by all. It is time we discuss, which party will be able to carry down all these policies and programmes launched by the Government at the centre. Efforts should be made to make all people realise the importance of the policies and programmes launched by the Government. When realisation has dawned better days will step in.
