Vyapam to police constable recruitment, it's endless series of scams: Patwari
Bhopal: Congress state unit president Jitu Patwari on Friday came down heavily on the BJP govt for the recently exposed police constable recruitment "scam". "MPPSC (Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission) has now become a corruption recruitment department," Patwari said. "Fake candidates were made to sit in the constable recruitment exam through solver gangs. So far, 16 FIRs have been registered, but no concrete action seems to have been taken. Earlier, the same pattern has been seen in the Patwari recruitment, primary teacher recruitment, and many other recruitment examinations," he said. He argued that lakhs of youth in the state dream of govt jobs and toil night and day for it. "But this govt is busy digging the grave of their dreams. I want to ask the govt - why are the children and youth being strangled? Will the hard work of the youth now be sacrificed to conspiracies?" Patwari asked. "From Vyapam to constable recruitment, it is an endless series of corruption. Till when will the MP govt put the future of the youth at stake?" he asked. Recalling the Vyapam recruitment scam, the Congress chief said, "Not only did a scam take place, but justice was murdered. More than 50 deaths took place, including students, journalists and officials associated with the scam. Even today, not a single accused has been punished. All have been acquitted. What kind of justice is this? Is this the Ram Rajya that the BJP talks about?" Patwari said the Congress would raise these questions on public forums. "This is not the time to sit quietly. We will ask questions and demand answers from the govt and society. When the daughters of the country are unsafe, when the future of the youth is in the dark, when the recruitment system is in the hands of mafias, then it is the responsibility of the opposition to raise its voice and get justice for the people." Besides, Patwari asked who is taking the salaries of the 50,000 missing govt employees over the past two decades. He claimed that 50,000 govt employees did not withdraw their salaries amounting to Rs 250 crore this year. "Fifty thousand employees of the state govt have gone missing. More than Rs 250 crore in salary is not being withdrawn by these employees. The govt has appointed a commission for this and asked to find the missing employees," Patwari said. "The state has 4.5 lakh employees, and the govt is trying to track 50,000 of them. This is a huge financial and administrative chaos. Now there is no one to take the salary, so in the last 22 to 25 years, who was taking this money of Rs 500 crore per year? It is an amount as big as Rs 12,500 crore that has been taken, but by whom." He said the state govt was continuously taking loans. "We have again taken a loan of Rs 450 crore. The people of the state need to awaken; they (BJP govt) have made govt employees disappear and have been taking their salaries for years. The BJP govt has made unique scams in the state – a Chambal scam, a snake bite scam, there are 42 different scams that have hit the state under BJP rule.

Unpaid house tax: Canacona civic body to cut power & water supply
Canacona: In a recent meeting held at the Canacona Municipal Council office, it was unanimously resolved that it will ask electricity and water departments to disconnect supplies to the residents who failed to pay house tax. Of the nearly 5,000 registered houses within the municipal limits, just 30% are regularly paying the house tax, and the remaining 70% of the houses have been in arrears for over 5 years despite being issued repeated notices. It is learnt that seven surveys were conducted to increase the house rent of some houses by just Rs 100 per year and that there is an urgent need to increase it. At the council meeting it was demanded that the administration initiate immediate action in the matter. The issue of non-implementation of pre-monsoon works in some wards was noted. Despite concerns, gutters and drainages were reportedly still not cleaned, resulting in numerous water-logging incidents throughout the municipality. CMC chairperson Sara Naik Desai said that the CMC's door-to-door garbage collection contract is over and a subsequent new tender was cancelled too. The municipal engineer is asked to start the procedure again, she said. If we don't start the door-to-door garbage collection, the residents will be highly inconvenienced, and re-tendering the contract is a priority.
