"POLITICAL HINDUS" & "SCHEMING" (HAPPY) BEN


Thank god, at last, one state government (though late) has accepted that non reserved category ordinary citizens are not just "Political Hindus".They too have their woes,pains & immensely deep problems.They too need solace from various woes.yes, I am talking about Gujarat Chief Minister Smt. Anandiben patel's latest youth welfare scheme 'Mukhyamantri Yuva Swavalamban Yojna".If this on paper glossy looking scheme is implemented properly,will be fruitful for both the "parties" i.e. it's actual stakeholders & BJP.

"MYSY" may have its flaws in financial terms but it has tremendous inner social & political currents.let's take a small example.The highest limit of Rs. 4.50 lac is given to take benefits of various student oriented schemes.Now in modern urban Gujarat where generally a single bread winner earns around 32 to 35 thousand per month,especially in nucleus family of "hum do hamarey do" will get monthly relief of around 2500 to 3000 Rs. in his kids education expenditure .That makes a big difference to any middle/upper middle class family.Well, this is just one part of the scheme.There are various benefits for youth as far as their higher education & employment is concerned.

Basically I want to analyse the scheme from it's socio political angle.as i said early if this scheme is implemented seriously & without much bureaucratic tantrums it may become a flagship program for Gujarat BJP and who knows it may take a form of law someday in future,but for that government ,BJP office bearers & beneficiaries must take pains.

Interestingly this scheme has more chances of success not just because it is declared on "right time" but probably it is the only governmental welfare scheme which has been designed by its all stakeholders. Sarkaar maibaap, bureaucrats & representatives of various general category communities.It has less chances of failure from this angle because in other schemes generally governments depend on bureaucrats & "invited representations" through various mediums for which no one cares.

Most important aspect of this scheme is that OBC/SC/ST communities have accepted it wholeheartedly .Entire scheme is based on various inputs of welfare schemes made for OBC/SC/ST communities because there were no model schemes available for general categories before this one,so government automatically made this scheme "Samras" by using already implemented welfare schemes for OBC/SC/ST communities.

Well, its a fact that this scheme can not be an alternate for "reservation" demanded by Patidar youth."Reservation" has it's own merits & demerits,only beneficiaries of it know the truth(apart from politicians).As one faction of Patidars (PAAS to be specific) is against this "Lolipop" but probably majority Patidars & other general category communities have started thinking seriously about this alternate as political confrontation can not give them much benefits. May be in future Patidar youth may start it taking seriously when they will see its real benefits.

Even today this scheme is seen only from "Patidar" angle & it's other beneficiary communities are not responding openly.Even a certain part of media is also highlighting "Patidar Angle" of this scheme.Other stakeholder communities need to clear the air asap to avail the benefits of "MYSY"

In fact the scheme has various benefits for youth as Patidar youth is fighting for education & employment opportunities.Though it has strong political roots,it could be beneficial for them. As usual congress just did lip service to condemn the scheme & again reduced it's political stature.Congress need serious "Atmamanthan" on it's own political policies else it will get wiped out of it's "KLBP"(Kshatriya,Lohana,Brahmin,Patidar, to name a few) voting communities.
