Provide full assistance to Gujarat for droughtproofing but with check: Gujarat Congress/NCP to Sharad Pawar and Jayram Ramesh
Gandhinagar, 2 August 2012
A delegation of senior leaders of Gujarat Congress and Nationalist Congress Party’s Gujarat unit led by GPCC President Arjun Modhwadia today met central Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar and Rural development minister Jayram Ramesh in Gandhinagar at leader of opposition Shri Shaktisinh Gohil’s residence to discuss drought like situation in the state.
The Congress/NCP delegation spoke with the minister on the issues like proper supply of drinking water, fodder and need to provide 16-hour power where underground water is available. The delegation told union ministers that centre should fully extend all support to the state government and provide financial assistance as per the state’s demand, but at the same time it should be checked that financial aide for drought proofing is not used for festivities and political programmes.
Both the ministers promised the leaders of Congress and NCP that they would meet the Chief Minister and officers on Friday and ask them to make proper arrangement of fodder, announcement of scheme for more cultivation of fodder, supply drinking water through a special scheme, and chalk out a plan to start relief works to provide employment to needy people. Union ministers also promised that centre would provide full assistance to the state government including the financial aide and it would see that the resources are not used for other purposes.

ridiculous, do union ministers in every state meet opposition leaders to discuss what should be done in state….
congress is playing with fire…interesting times ahead
…as i am a strong believer of what goes around comes around…it will be interesting how BJP and Modi will treat them when they come to power in centre
So the twisted face will give money to Gujarat so Gujarat electorate will think that congress/NCP gave the money! Dont play dirty in Gujarat. You are just repaying a portion of taxes paid by Gujaratis. Your sidekick Prafool Patel was succesful in NOT starting New York -London -Ahmdabad does not mean you and your cronies will be successful.
It is very interesting to note the instructions taken by the union ministers from the congress about what to do and what not to do. Can anyone highlight about the authority of congress leaders to instruct the union ministers? Is it that in absence of clearance from the congress leaders in Gujarat the people of Gujarat are not eligible for the support (less than what is taken away by central taxes from the people of Gujarat).
The misguided elements of Gujarat are desperate to impress upon the voters of Gujarat that at their instance Soniaji has agreed to dole out some help to people of Gujarat out of the funds received from bankrupt Italy.
This is nothing but a HOG WASH…. ALL talk and no action….
PEOPLE with power from CENTRAL GOVT. must talk to people with power of STATE GOVT……
WHAT is the use of PARTY POLITICS?…..I would say one thing to these worthless people ….
“YOU CAN NOT CONTINUE FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME..” YOUR days are numbered….. JAY HIND.
so, it is the minority party going to decide the central-state govt deals? never heard anything more ridiculous. but congresis have internalized that india is their baap ka maal. they need a swift kick on their back again to knock some sense in to them that the people of gujarat have an elected govt that has the sole authority to deal with the central govt, and that the state congressis have no locus standi in this deal.
