BJP workers will get
priority for government schemes, Says CM. (head line) Navhind Times 25.03.2014
Chief Minister
Manohar Parrikar has assured party workers that they will be the first to get
benefits of government schemes and later on others will be considered without
any discrimination. (!!!) (report)
I read the sentence twice to make sure that I am reading it
right. I had not read it wrong. Now, either the CM was wrong, or got his
wording wrong or the press got it wrong. I hope that it is one of the later
two. Because if our CM really meant
what he said, he will lose what little respect I still have towards him and BJP
will be out of consideration in my voting priorities.
If he means what he said, then it translates to “if you want
to be a beneficiary of government schemes then enroll with BJP and be a party
worker.” And after this glaringly
discriminatory statement he ridiculously goes on to say “later on others will
be considered without any discrimination”.
Every time I see some such statements from our politicians I
feel that this is the lowest our politicians can stoop but they always excel
themselves and manage to stoop lower than the lowest.
I read till the end hoping to see a disclaimer in small
print stating “I have made this statement just to appease the party workers and
do not really mean it” but unfortunately there was none.
