PANJIM: Slamming the BJP government, the Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday urged Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant to stop wasting taxpayers’ money on what is essentially an elections campaign.
The government’s “Sarkar Tumchya Daari” programme has been nothing but a public relations (PR) “jumla”. Once again in the rush to copy the AAP, Sawant has made a mess. Instead of reaching to the doorstep of Goans, Sawant is asking Goans to assemble again at a town hall. Moreover, he is offering no solutions to Goenkars and only political “bhashans” for the media.
“Goans have been waiting for services and are forced to line up for schemes for their documents and can’t even get an ambulance to their doorstep. This attempt of the Sawant Sarkar to copy the AAP while flattering is completely lacking in planning or intent. It is not enough to just announce a PR campaign, the Sawant Sarkar need to work like Arvind Kejriwal for its citizens,” stated the AAP in a press release.
“AAP’s doorstep delivery scheme allows citizens to ask for services via a toll free number and have ‘Mobil Sahahyaks’ turn up at their doorstep. Unlike this, Sawant wants Goenkars to come to him. After lining up outside offices now they will line up to see their CM as if he is a king and they are his subjects,” the AAP stated.
“The call to 1076 leads to a call centre who finds out what it is that the Citizen wants, the call centre then sets up an appointment for the ‘Mobile Sahayak’ to visit their house, collect documents, fill up forms, scan details and provide a receipt. After this the service is provided to their doorstep. This is what is called real doorstep delivery of services. 99 per cent of RTO work is done via doorstep delivery and has cut down heavily on corruption,” the AAP further mentioned.
