why we need 1000 new small towns

Politicians have become masters, people have become slaves. Large percentage of every penny spent by the Government is stolen by politicians directly or indirectly. Politics have become the art of Corrupt. Politicians have no interest in alleviating poverty and wealth creation for People. In order to perpetuate this master-slave bond, politicians give 'free current, free rice, free money, etc' as if people cannot have self-respect and earn what they need if proper environment is created. They do not have plans to uplift society so that people can live with self-respect. Poor people are never given opportunity to get educated, raise and fulfill their potential. Enough is enough.

Common man today aspires self-rule and self-respect and from this desire arises Loksatta (The People Power) Party. While a part of educated previleged society is starting to dream big, rural and impoverished sections of society find it too difficult to even make a living. Loksatta understands that the benefits of riches of India should be shared with all sections of Society including Rural India.

A town typically has all the basic infrastructure facilities

• Super-speciality hospital
• Schools, colleges
• Small Scale Industries
• Roads & Transport facilities
• Marketing Facilities

Ideally every village should have all these amenities. However the above said traits of Politicians never really allowed any distributed Growth. Only a few cities prospered and villages are becoming increasingly uninhabitable by modern standards. So, Transforming atleast one Village in each Mandal will ensure atleast one economical hub in each mandal so that people in the Mandal need not migrate for mere living.

Is it financially viable for State's Exchequer to build 1000 new towns?

Each year, Rs 6 Crores can be allocated to each of 1000 villages, meaning Rs 6000 Crores from a budget of over Rs 1 Lakh Crores(merely 6%). Dont these Mandal dwellers who constitute 75% of total population deserve 6% direct investment for their livelihood? Only a cruel government could deny them that. Loksatta will remind people of their deprived rights, challenge government of its indifference.
