Not long back when BJP was in power and their term was about to finish they started the INDIA SHINING campaign to publicise their achievements of the years they had been in power.
The Congress then in opposition won the elections, in which one of their areas of target, to mar BJP image, was this movement. The congress said the BJP govt. was using tax payers money unfairly for their benefit to come to power.
Now the question is how is the passing of the bill that, funds for election campaigns will be allocated by state and central govt, is any different from "INDIA SHINING". The money that they are talking about is the same hard earned and unwillingly paid money that was for India shining movement.
I am sure the bill would pass because that is in the benefit of all members of the parliament, "Legal money to spend, play with apart from what they have always got. So the gist is extra money thru legal channels". So here they are doing nothing but making themselves richer, by taking the tax payers money, that should have been invested for public benefits. Using this to fund their campaigns.
There is another point too, this money ,mostly paid by the upper middle and upper class segments of the Indian society, is invested (from the point of the govt.) in posters, pehlwans, the Desi indian liquor, bribes, booth capturing, arms and the usual buying of MP's (also cow and buffaloes in the case of Laloo prasad Yadav). See what a lovely strategic investment plan for the overall development of the nation , where a financial Guru like Mr. Manmohan Singh is leader of this nation.
KUDOS .....
I think i am not Intelligent enough to suggest a Good solution but can atleast point the flaw as I see it. So guys think over this again.
