Letter for PM modi...!!!! Dear Prime Minister, Your government has completed nearly four months in office now and its performance is being widely discussed. People have mixed feelings. They believe that you are an excellent orator. But your own partymen and ministers are doing exactly the opposite of what you speak, and when they do that, you remain silent. This has perplexed many people. For instance, your speech on the Independence Day impressed many. You said that we should shun communalism for next ten years, since communalism does not help anyone. People were so happy to hear these words. But just a few days later, an MP of your own party, Yogi Adityanath, delivered hate speeches. Your own partymen tried to spread hatred in the name of ‘Love Jihad’. People were surprised. How was it that your own partymen were not listening to you? People expected that you would admonish Yogi Adityanath and other partymen who indulged in spreading communal hatred. But you chose to remain silent, which disappointed the countrymen. You spoke against UPA’s corruption during the Lok Sabha elections and it was one of your main campaign planks. You had promised a corruption-free India. Recently, you went to the extent of saying – “Na khaunga, na khaane dunga.” ((neither will I take bribe, nor will I allow anyone to take bribe). People were so happy to hear that. There was a feeling that from now on, the corrupt would be punished and honest ones would be rewarded. But when your own health minister Dr Harsh Vardhan removed a very honest officer, Sanjeev Chaturvedi, from the post of Chief Vigilance Officer at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, for no reason, it was a major disappointment. The entire country knows how Sanjeev Chaturvedi has been fighting against corruption. His work has been appreciated by none less than the President of India and a parliamentary standig committee. People expected your government to reward such people. Both, the media and the public have severely criticized Chaturvedi’s removal. Everyone expected that you would intervene and get Chaturvedi reinstated as the CVO of AIIMS. But when you remained silent on this issue also, people were further disappointed. A few days back, the union home minstry issued a notification severely curtailing the powers of Delhi’s anti-corruption branch (ACB), which has now turned it into a completely ineffective body . How can you remove corruption by curtailing the powers of ACB? To remove corruption, you need to provide ACB with adequate resources, effective powers and honest manpower. People hoped that since you have always been speaking so strongly against corruption, you would certainly reprimand your home minister and ask him to withdraw this notification. But you remained silent on such a critical matter also. There were strong rumours that the son of one of your ministers accepted bribes for transfers and postings of some Delhi police officials. When you came to know about it, you reportedly called the father and son and scolded them. People felt so good when they heard this. (Though your office issued a statement on August 27 calling such reports as malicious and denied any such incident). My humble request is that next time, if any minister’s son accepts a bribe, kindly hand him over to the police in addition to scolding him. The vice-president of Delhi BJP was caught on camera offering Rs 4 crore to an Aam Admi Party MLAs to defect. BJP’s Delhi unit has been trying its best to form a government dishonestly. People are desperately waiting that you will stop your Delhi unit from doing all this. But you have again preferred to remain silent. The Supreme recently observed that those leaders facing serious criminal charges should not be made ministers, but at least 13 of your ministers face such charges, including that of murder and bribery. People hoped that you will immediately remove them, but yet again you remained silent. You had repeatedly accused Dr Manmohan Singh of inaction when our soldiers on the Pakistan border were being beheaded and when Chinese were violating our borders. People liked your speeches since it matched their patriotic feelings whenever you raised this issue. But Pakistan and China are violating Indian borders with greater frequency since you took over. China’s attitude is even stranger. At a time when you are according such a warm welcome to their visiting President, they entered deep into our territory. So, people are wondering whether there are any compulsions that first Dr Manmohan Singh and now you can’t take those effective steps which you had been demanding all along? Times of India carried a news item a few days back that your coal ministry was in the process of signing agreements with 9 private companies to sell them coal at Rs 1500 per tonne, much below the market price of Rs 4000 per tonne. According to news item, this would cause a loss of Rs 1.5 lakh crore. Many scams took place right under Dr Singh’s nose but he remained silent. People expect that you will not remain silent. Kindly stop this scam before it happens. During elections you had promised “acche din”. The country has been waiting since 65 years for “acche din”. In fact, people don’t even know how “acche din” look like. However, it is becoming extremely difficult for the middle class and poor people, who voted for you, to make two ends meet due to sharp price rise. You have all the powers now. You have full majority in Parliament. We would sincerely urge you that people can live without “acche din” for some more time, but kindly do something to contain prices and provide relief to the people from inflation. Mr Prime Minister, you have been given a historic chance. There are huge expectations from you. However, bypoll results show that people are slowly losing hope. We hope you would not let this historic opportunity slip. Yours sincerely, Arvind Kejriwal..!!
