•-No doubt, there are other policies which the NPF government has framed well but those will not pardon them for the wrong policies that they are implementing.
The job reservation policy has been an issue for years with the NSF demanding total review of the policy but the government never paid heed to it. But in spite of the long pending demands the government instead enhanced the quota. This is a direct insult to the NSF. What is more surprising is the NSF who has been raising hue and cry for total review did not raise any voice than simply calling the enhancement of quota as unfortunate. What double standard policy of the NSF!!! That’s NSF but set aside.
The latest decision of the government to “especially reserve” ten EAC posts for ten selected tribes is the latest dirty policy decision which the government has taken. This policy is not accepted by the advanced tribes because they know the government is giving reservation to the ten tribes when they are already getting quota. If all seats are reserved for the backward tribes where will the advanced tribes go to compete? Does the government expect the other remaining tribes to go outside the state and compete?
The government’s road show policy was also criticized by the Congress. Some public only happened to like the road show only in the first year but they too began to see the extravagant use of finance. There are several other policies of the government but it’s no use digging the past. The government should only introspect itself and see that its future policies are well received by the public. The cabinet ministers comprise the government who frame policies. Let the minister’s discuss among themselves and rectify their own fault.
