Central Funds

Central funds are not Congress property: Jaitley to PM

Patna: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arun Jaitley on Sunday slammed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for his remark that central funds had not been properly utilised by the Bihar government, saying 'central funds are not Congress property'.

Jaitley, who is Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, also said 'the prime minister should not have made that remark on Bihar as a Congressman but as an economist'.

'The remark that was made on Saturday - the money that the central government collects is the tax-payer's money. People from Bihar also pay tax. Central funds are not the property of the Congress party,' Jaitley said.
On Saturday, the prime minister had told an election rally in Narpatganj assembly constituency in Bihar's Araria district that funds provided by the central government were not utilised properly.

'The Bihar government has failed to spend funds properly which resulted in lack of progress and development,' he said.

The prime minister also said that Bihar's Janata Dal-United-Bharatiya Janata Party government was 'misguiding' people by naming centrally-funded schemes as its own.

I am glad Arun Jaitley has brought up the issue of "Central funds".
Just before elections in any state Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and other congress leaders go about beating their chests and accusing the local government, if it is not the congress,of not using central funds allotted to it, as if, it is the Congress money and they are obliging the said state government.

Have you ever been to a school's parent teacher meet.
To every parent the teacher will say "very naughty', "talkative", should pay more attention in class.Do the teachers expect that all children will be LORD BUDHA OR LORD MAHAVIR.

In the same fashion these leaders repeat the same clinches of not using "Central funds"
Reminds you of the BJP and opposition always raising the Bofors gun issue, just before elections.
And why does Sonia and other congress leaders accuse Nitish of being communal.
Aren't these congress leaders, Mamata Banerjee, Mulayam Singh being communal when they initiate programmes for just one community.
In present India, you are secular if you favour one community but are accused of being communal if you favour another community.
Why?
It is because the Hindu votes have been divided by these leaders on caste basis but the Muslims are united by people like, Bukhari and Mehbooba Mufti and the SIMI organisation.
