BJP has so much hatred for Gandhi
1. 100-Day Work Scheme: From Name Change to Funding Cuts
Major changes have been made to the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. The ruling faction, which celebrates Nathuram Godse—the man who assassinated Gandhi—as a 'patriot,' has now removed Mahatma Gandhi’s name from this scheme and renamed it "Ji Shri Ramji." This reflects their low-level politics and the deep-seated hatred they harbor toward Gandhi.
"They have removed the name of Gandhi, who uttered 'Hey Ram, Hey Ram,' and replaced it with 'Ji Ram.' This shows how much hatred they spew toward Gandhi."
Furthermore, the annually allocated funds are being gradually reduced. Consequently, no one in India is provided with a full 100 days of work. The claim that the government has increased work days to 125 is described as a "drama." With the intent to completely abolish the scheme, they have introduced a new rule requiring state governments to provide 40% of the funding.
2. "Privatized Nationalism": Turning Government Assets over to Corporates
During the Congress era, private assets were nationalized. However, it is pointed out that under the current regime, all government assets are being privatized and handed over to corporations.
The 'nationalism' they speak of is actually 'privatized nationalism.' That is, they define nationalism as selling the nation’s public assets to private entities. Their goal is to corporatize everything and hand it over to individuals like Adani and Ambani, using communal politics as a tool to mask these actions.
3. Voter List Verification: A Conspiracy to Snatch Voting Rights?
Thirumavalavan has raised serious concerns regarding the Special Voter List Revision process. Initially, the government claimed this project was brought in to remove illegal infiltrators from neighboring countries.
However, it has come to light that out of the 4.7 million voters removed in Bihar, not even 300 were from neighboring countries. Similarly, shocking information has emerged that the names of approximately 8 million indigenous people ('sons of the soil') might be removed in Tamil Nadu.
By stripping voting rights, they plan to strip citizenship. Since the Election Commission does not have the authority to verify citizenship, this is an attempt to misuse the Commission to indirectly implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
4. Diversionary Politics: Religious Sentiment and Corporate Welfare
It is argued that the government is simultaneously implementing two extreme agendas: one is 'Sanskritization/Hindutva-ization,' and the other is 'Corporatization.'
Religious and caste sentiments are being intensely provoked to distract people’s attention from the gifting of the nation’s assets to private entities. As part of this, in a planned effort to spread communal politics in Tamil Nadu, they are trying to turn Thiruparankundram into another Ayodhya.
5. Virudhunagar Textile Park: A Request to the State Government to Attract Investment
A complication has arisen regarding the Central Government’s Textile Park project in Virudhunagar district. Complaints have surfaced that the Tamil Nadu government is asking investors for a very high price of 55 to 60 lakh rupees per acre of land.
In comparison, states like Bihar have provided land for free, and states like Maharashtra have offered it at subsidized rates. Compared to these, the price requested by the Tamil Nadu government is very high. Therefore, the state government should make a favorable decision to encourage industrial investors; this matter will be brought to the Chief Minister’s attention.
