Direct Subsidy of Rs 600/- per month for Every Voter
No Middle-man, No Corruption - Money Deposited directly into Voter’s Bank Account
There are two kinds of Subsidies -- Merit and Non-Merit. Merit subsidy is for sectors like elementary education, research, forestry, environment, information etc where the benefits are reaped by the society as a whole. Non-Merit subsidy is directed towards specific groups of population – such as subsidy on food, fertilizer, petroleum, electricity etc. The total expenditure on Non-Merit Subsidy is currently estimated at $100 billion or Rs 4,00,000 crores. It is common knowledge that a major chunk of this subsidy ends up in the pockets of the middlemen and only an insignificant portion manages to reach the intended beneficiaries. Jago Party advocates the complete abolition of Non-Merit Subsidy only. Instead an equivalent cash amount will be deposited directly into the bank accounts of every voter.
There are at present about 40 crore voters in India. If the total subsidy of Rs 4,00,000 crores is distributed equally amongst all voters, it amounts to Rs 10,000 per year. Keeping in view the rising number of voters, Jago Party has allotted an amount of Rs 600/- per month per voter as direct cash subsidy. This money will be deposited directly into the bank account of every voter without the interference of any middleman. This will reduce corruption, encourage people to vote & participate in the democratic process, and provide a life-long steady income to the poor, the senior citizens & the needy. This is not just a sugar-coated, unlikely proposition but a declaration of commitment backed by solid financial facts.
Jago Party is also dedicated to abolishing all Reservation based on Caste or Religion. The party is also committed to provide Quality English Education for all and free education poor students. This will ensure that every student possesses creditable education & commensurate job skills and is not dependent upon the bane of reservation for jobs. The party considers schools and colleges to be the temples of modern India where the next generation will formed and shaped. With quality education, we pledge to fight hunger, poverty and unemployment.
Jago Party will also bring about radical changes in the country’s taxation system. The Tax Regime will be simplified. The total Number of Taxes will be significantly decreased. 10% will be set as the Maximum Tax Limit for any kind of tax. These measures will virtually eliminate the need for tax evasion, black money and bring transparency to the system. The crooked governmental structure will be curtailed to curb corruption. To achieve this, the scope of Government dominion would be limited to law & order, justice, defense, currency, foreign relations, taxation, security-related industries, scientific research and overall facilitation & monitoring of economy. Hence, all other activities such as those pertaining to education, municipality, hospitals, records management etc. currently undertaken by the government would be replaced by private commercial enterprises.
The safety and security of the citizens is top priority for the party. To achieve this stronger legislation and firm implementation of strict anti-terrorism acts will be utilized. The Law & Order Infrastructure will be significantly improved and further empowered. Anyone committing heinous crimes like terrorism, murder, rape, kidnapping or dacoity will be punished with death. Also, the party will ensure that all cases are decided within 3 months by all courts.
Speaking on the occasion Sh Mittal said, "Our nation is a democracy, a ‘Lok-Tantra’, a Government for the people and by the people. It is the ‘Lok’, the People that should be given precedence, not the ‘Tantra’, the Administration. The ‘Lok’ should rule and should be serviced by the ‘Tantra’ and not vice versa. The objective of the Government is solely to provide good governance to all the people. Till that happens, I will not allow a moment of peace to myself or to those obstructing the rights of the common man."
Sh Mittal asserted that soon the people of India will witness the rise of a new national power. He further voiced that the masses are currently disappointed with and largely disinterested in the democratic process in the country. This is a highly worrying scenario for any democracy. The empty promises and corrupt administration & governance have disillusioned the public to such an extent that the common man does not even bother to vote. Jago Party is dedicated to reigniting the interest of the voters in the democratic process to strengthen the Indian democracy. ***
