RTI reveals that Peoples' Representatives CARE-LESS for the People

In democracy the people elect their representatives , hoping they
shall represent them in the Parliament and raise their issues
concerning the interest of the larger section of the society. Every
fifth year this is happening in India also . But the question is did
our representatives fulfill our expectations ? If we go through a
reply to a RTI petition of mine by Ministry of Statistics and
Programme implementation Government of India ( available at given link
) ,

It shall be crystal clear how careless attitude the peoples'
representatives have towards the people. At a time when our members
of parliament are leaving no stone unturned to convert their personal
expenses as the official ones only because for sure their personal
budget is always in negative ( despite there being crores of crores in
swiss banks and other modes of black money ) .

Such M.P.s find themselves unable to spend a meager amount of Rs. 2
crore of Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme Fund (
Sansad Nidhi ) a year in their constituency .

The reply of the ministry says As per records available , as on
31-03-2010 , on all India basis Rs. 1862.23 Crores of released Sansad
Nidhi was unutilized .

Should we believe that India has developed fully and it does not need
any such scheme anymore ? if not , then it shows the careless attitude
of our Members of Parliament towards us , the masses.

So , next time you get a chance to meet your M.P. , do ask him about this .
