Govindacharya slams Modi government policies
New Delhi, May 12
Former BJP ideologue K.N.
Govindacharya on Tuesday described the Modi government's land
acquisition policy as worse than its predecessor United Progressive
Alliance (UPA) government's.
"There is no doubt about Prime
Minister Narendra Modi's intention. However, his policies are
questionable. There is a gap in the understanding about the
implementation mechanism of projects," Govindacharya said at a press
conference.
"The land acquisition policy was formulated only on
the basis of compensation. The consent of gram sabhas and public
interest, which was part of UPA's policy, has been sidestepped," he
said.
Questioning the Modi government's policies, Govindacharya
also described the 'Make in India' campaign as licence to foreigners to
benefit at the cost of national interest.
Govindacharya said that
he was unable to understand the policies of the government and felt
those who are in the government too (were unable).
"No poor and
tribal will benefit from 'Make in India' programme and 'Smart City'
project. It seems that this government is taking decisions without
proper home work. This government is not even following basic rules of
governance," he added.
He said, "Modi government is about to
complete its first year in office, but it looks no different from its
predecessors. Still four years are left with the government. Lets hope
they will fulfil the aspirations of the people, what they have pomised
during last lok sabha polls."
