Congress and Vote bank politics

Congress in the name of development of minority (read Muslim) districts is providing hard earned tax payers money to appease its Muslim vote bank.

Rs 3,500-cr scheme for 90 'minority' districts

NEW DELHI: The Centre will spend more than Rs 3,500 crore in infrastructure development projects in 90 minority dominated districts across the country as it approved the package for improving basic amenities in these areas.

With the UPA Government entering the last leg of its tenure, it announced the major minority-centric scheme called Multi-Sectoral Development Programme under which basic infrastructure projects would be undertaken during the 11th Plan in designated districts.

The Centre will bear the entire expense of Rs 3,780 crore while the local governments will help in implementation of projects. Under the scheme, basic infrastructure like roads, health centres, skill development centres and marketing facilities would be developed in the minority dominated districts, said a government spokesperson after a meeting of Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) which cleared the scheme.

The official said the focus of the scheme will be on rural and semi-rural areas of the identified 90 minority concentration districts which will be given funds as development deficits.

The money will be given after seeking a commitment from the state governments that they will constitute a committee for implementation of the Prime Ministers 15-point programme for the welfare of minorities.

The 15-point programme aims at improving education, creating employment opportunities and addressing the security issues for the minorities.

It seeks to involve minorities in the Integrated Child Development Services Schemes and calls for measures for preventing communal riots and fast track compensation for victims of communal violence.

It also talks about modernizing Madarsas and introducing scholarships for meritorious students from the minority communities.

Why is an constitutionally mandated secular government providing money to Muslim Madrassa whose only contribution to the nation is the production of terrorists who kill people of other faith in the name of Islam. We don't need more such jihad factories to be setup with money that we pay as taxes to the government. If the government has got so much extra money why does it not invest in building schools & colleges which will provide good education and mould the children to serve the country.

QUOTE
The implementation of the 15-point programme has not been on track with several complaints pouring in about laxity shown by the state governments.
