Sir,
Delay after delay in holding much delayed ULB Election, is a slogan being audible again and again from everywhere. Feeling the pinch of want; being the head of a social organization it was represented just at the opportune time, when the Deptt of local bodies through their congress Minister, conveyed to the Govt of their having been fully preparedness to hold such Election at any time.But there remained complete silence over this important issue from Govt side. Leaders including PCC president Saif Din Soz have already indicated their inner feelings in this regard. All others had been putting forth this genuine demand for so many years.
Now the Bajpas have sounded their Shankhdhooni, the violent thunder of which is audible from every nook & corner of the State. They have started coming out in streets, protesting for this demand against the Govt with their paraphernalia. PDP & NC conveners being against such constitutional values of democracy. More over the hurdles pointed out, are going to be over with the passage of time. No doubt security scenario shall have to be tightened at this juncture, if the govt is seriously sincere to offer opportunity of local self Govt to our deserted towns, which is thought to be our constitutional right as the citizens of a democratic State. Otherwise we can be swayed by the feelings that we are still under arbitrary autocracy of the bureaucrats which is not at all healthy in a model State as ours. It can be counted as exploitation of the masses and nothing else.
Yours etc….
