Congress ready to attack govt at VS

Raipur, December 14, 2011

The Congress spokesperson Amir Ali Farishta on Wednesday said the opposition was ready with its weapons to attack the ruling party at Vidhan Sabha by moving no confidence motion. “The CM with his corrupt team has become bête noire for the public as well as his own partymen. Exploitation, corruption and naxalism ramified during his regime while the touts flourished,” Farishta charged.

He said the government hospitals have lost their credibility in wake of Balod eye camp incident. “Now, the people are scared of undergoing treatment in government-sponsored eye camps,” he added.

Rubbishing government claims of having most effective public distribution system (PDS) in the country, Farishta said, “The state’s PDS has completely collapsed due to corruption prevailed in it from top to bottom. According to survey conducted by India Corruption Study 2010, highest corrupt PDS in the country is in Chhattisgarh. Another survey agency ICS says that corruption increased by 58 percent in state PDS in 2010-11,” said.

Citing example of Amrit salt being distributed to poor under PDS, Farishta said the packets contain 100-150 grams less salt, an apparent irregularity which bleed huge amount of fund. “The government is also responsible for large number of graft cases in Central schemes,” he said.

“Even the people have lost trust on Public Service Commission (PSC) in wake of PMT paper leak case,” he said adding that there was no government in the state and the BJP had failed in all departments to perform.
