Dear Shri
Amitbhai Shah,
Today, Congress will release its Election
Manifesto , which will include :
Minimum
Income Guarantee Scheme
From
BJP's candidates , you will be under tremendous pressure to incorporate in BJP
manifesto , some equally POPULIST scheme
Please
, do not fall in this trap of " OneUpmanship "
Only yesterday, Shri Modiji said :
" Winning elections is only a MEANS
to the ultimate END of eradicating POVERTY "
Congress's scheme is a " Perpetuating
Poverty Scheme "
I urge you to consider my following
suggestion which will EMPOWER people to rise above POVERTY , on their own , utilizing
the SKILLS they can acquire , with BJP's scheme
Basic Income : a Bad Idea ?
Today
, Rahul Gandhi is expected to release Election Manifesto of Congress Party
Among
the umpteen untenable
schemes , it will promise Minimum Income Guarantee Scheme
Elsewhere
, known as Universal Basic Income [ UBI ]
It
may turn out to be a Bad Idea
It
would appear so from the following news :
Highlights :
·
It was supposed to last
for three years, but Ontario canceled it after just one — and now several of the project’s
participants have filed a class-action lawsuit against the province for the hardship that
early cancellation has allegedly caused them.
·
One woman, Harley
Worden, saw her income double through the project, which led to her signing a
lease on an apartment she can no longer afford
·
Doyle Hillion, meanwhile,
claims in the suit that she will no longer be able to pay the tuition for a
broadcasting program she enrolled in after finding out she’d be a part of the
basic income project.
·
The lawsuit alleges that
other participants have reportedly suffered “mental distress” and
“psychological injury” due to the program’s early cancellation
=========================================================================
If UBI
is proving to be a BAD idea for Ontario , it could be even a WORSE idea for
India
Here is
why :
[
A ] Resources needed
Ontario
experiment covered only 4000 persons , offering Rs 72,300 per month to each ( Rs 34.7 Cr in all
per year )
Minimum
Guarantee Income Scheme of Congress will cover 5 cr
families
And each
family will get Rs 6000 per month
[ B ] Long Term
effects
Here is what I wrote on 20 Jan 2017 [ Universal
Basic Income ] :
* I
think the proposed Universal Basic Income scheme will not solve the
problem . It
may even worsen the situation by institutionalizing a " DEPENDENCY
CULTURE " among the
recipients
, who will forever look up to the " SARKAR
MAA BAAP " to feed them !
There is a danger that , in order to continue receiving the monthly DOLE ,
the recipients
may never make any effort to rise above the POVERTY LINE !
Any amount of money received under UBI Scheme will get
spent , and never " Empower /
Equip "
the person with " Knowledge / Skills "
to earn his own living and rise above
poverty
line
[ C ] Corruption
/ Litigation
In order to stay “
eligible “ to receive this dole , poor people will need to bribe the “ Poverty
Certifying Authority “ for their low income certificate . Year after year !
Those who fail to
get such certificate ( may be ONE CRORE persons ? ), may even file court cases
There will be
plenty of organizations which will fight these PIL on their behalf, without
charging any fees !
=================================================================================
What
should be an alternate / better scheme that BJP should include in its Election
Manifesto ?
This
is explained in detail at :
What
will win the War ? [ 26 March 2019
]
Dear Shri Amitbhai Shah,
I
hope you will find time to read this email
