We are proud of our Ministers and MLAs. They are presumed to be men of mature judgement and a great spirit of responsibility. They are experienced MLAs. They have intelligent supporters to give them healthy advice. Before and during election they knew the problems of the people; and after they have become MLAs, they are expected to fulfil the promises they had made during election. Fortunately, we have not herd anyone who says, “The MLAs were not elected by us and we cannot consider them to be our representatives to work for us.”
There are times when people did not approach their MLAs for redress of their grievances and started agitations without the knowledge of the MLAs in matters of public interest, many unfortunate incidents would have been avoided. Do we not have confidence in them or are we unwilling to engage them? If MLAs do not want to work in public interest, it is necessary on the part of the public to tell them that they will be condemned by the people. There is corruption not only in FCS department but also in other departments. Crores of rupees were drawn without executing works. Do you know any contract works under the government where UGs have not demanded percent? We have to know that Ministers/MLAs are the government who solve the problems of the people. To launch any kind of agitation without their knowledge is an insult to them. We have to consult them in all matters of public interest before we start bundh, strike etc.
If any Minister/MLA fails to function efficiently and honestly, the public may condemn him for his inefficiency and they will move the government to redress their grievances. It appears that the public leaders do not want to condemn MLAs and at the same time they want to work as representatives of the people as if they were MLAs thereby putting the Ministers/MLAs in awkward position occasionally. If MLAs of other constituencies could get PDS rice directly from FCI godown, your MLA also will be able to do the same. If your MLA cannot do what other MLAs can do, you have the right to blame him because you supported him at the time of election wholeheartedly at the risk your life. His inefficiency may be made known to the public for their opinion.
If you think that our Ministers/MLAs are not up to your expectation, they will surrended before the public when you have the courage to find out the amount of money drawn under PMGSY without work, the works executed under MLA Local Area Development Fund, all fake appointments, teachers who drawn their salaries without attending schools under District Council, medicines supplied by the government but not reached district hospitals, primary health centres, primary health sub centres, doctors and nurses who are not at the places of their posting, etc. It is necessary to make them understand to what extent they have failed to serve the people of their respective constituencies. What shall we say when we have no courage to tell the truth?
Truely speaking, the tragedy is that after every election there are many persons who think that they are more capable than the elected MLAs and such people have given so much hardship to poor people. Another tragedy is that unemploy graduate and postgraduate degree holders of the society underestimate MLAs and they do not want to approach them before they move the government in any matter of public interest. If such things go on, some day both the so-called leaders and the public will fall into a pit.
