Rahul Gandhi wants democracy reaches grass roots
Rahul Gandhi said that the graft could be curbed if the democracy touches the grass root. It can be proved right to a certain extent by analyzing the example of ‘people’s planning’ model implemented in Kerala in mid 90’s, following the vision of Late Rajiv Gandhi’s ‘panchayati raj’ policy. Before the ‘people’s plan’, each and every project of any parts of the state had to be sanctioned by the state Government. And of course in those cases, the chances of corruption and mismanagement of funds were high. But after the new policy was adopted, the people were given powers to discuss, plan, finalise and implement any project in a village through the local bodies. Every panchayat constituted small committee of the local people to discuss their issues and planning the projects. When the decision making powers came to the grass root with high level of transparency, there was no question of corruption. And the scar of corruption slowly got removed to a greater extent. This new policy created wonders in the small state of Kerala, and during the first five years of the ‘people’s plan’ there were tremendous improvement, mainly in the area of infrastructure and basic amenities in the rural areas, which was applauded by the people even outside India. Rahul Gandhi also said "If the country is to be changed, it cannot be changed from the top, it can be changed from the ground level. Policies can be from the top, ideas can come from the top, thoughts can come from the top, but their implementation has to be at the level of municipalities, panchayats and wards". If we connect the example of Kerala with the words of Rahul Gandhi, we can realize once again the value and strength of democracy and we can also feel the importance of a visionary leader like young Rahul Gandhi. Our country needs such energetic, dynamic new generation leaders.
