Fate of Government welfare schemes.

Sir ,

Ms Sonia Gandhi , with tremendous fan fare and in the glare of publicity launched Rajiv Gandhi Jeevandayi Arogya Yojana in Nagpur . The very first health card  under the Yojana was personally handed over by Ms Gandhi  to one Shakuntala Bhagat selected by Government machinery to be a person below poverty line.

Major head line in the paper now claim that First BPL health card holder is a rich lady . Now "rich" is a relative term , but if  son of Shakuntala Bhagat owns a Maruti Alto car , the mother can not be a BPL person . Benefit of the scheme clearly having gone  to a person who does not deserve or merit it .The But then this has been the story of ALL the welfare schemes costing thousands of crores of tax payers money . In all the schemes major part of that money  has gone down the pockets of politicians , Babus and the middle man .  it has not  gone to people for whom the schemes were meant.That is also the reason as to why, despite of  all those crores of money spent quality of  of life a a person in BPL.

PM Velankar.
