RANCHI: The opposition, namely
Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee
(JPCC) and
Jharkhand Vikas Morcha
(Prajatantrik), on Tuesday recounted the failures of
chief minister Raghubar Das
led government, ahead of the second anniversary of the Das government.
Releasing a two-year-report card, JPCC chief Sukhdeo Bhagat said, "Government's budget for Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao and Gender Budget is useless as it has failed to solve the recent rape and murder of 19-year-old engineering student."
Bhagat said the rate of organized crimes has increased statewide since January. "Cases of burglary and murders as well as firings in courts have increased. Dacoity, loot and kidnapping cases have also increased," he said. About health scenario, he said, "80% of 3,957 health sub-centres lack electricity, while 60% do not have drinking water facility. Most are not connected with concrete roads. Similar is the situation of 327 primary health centres and 91 community health centres,'' said Bhagat.
Blaming the government for implementating Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'cashless drive', he said, "90% ATMs are working on old Microsoft window format in state. Moreover, government is unable to tackle cyber security issues. In such circumstances, supporting cashless campaign is useless."
Out of 14 lakh toilet construction under the Swacch Bharat Mission in the ongoing year, Bhagat said Das government completed construction of merely three lakh. "20% toilet work is pending in 15 districts," he added.
Meanwhile, JVM (P) principal general secretary Pradip Yadav said a black paper would be released by the party on government's miserable performance by party chief Babulal Marandi on January 14.
Like Bhagat, Yadav also focused on increasing crime in urban and rural areas. "For the first time since 16 years of state formation, tribals, para-teachers, anganwadi sevikas and home guards were beaten by batons by police. The dictatorship was followed in state assembly when eight bills including CNT-SPT Act Amendment Bills 2016 were passed on November 23," said Yadav.
