Centre wants to take Full Credits for its Schemes?
By: Tupaki Desk | 7 March 2022 8:30 AM GMT
The issue between the Central and state governments over the schemes is not a new thing. While the Union government says that it was them who is funding the schemes, the state governments have something else to say. The state governments have been telling the other way round.
The topic of who is actually funding these schemes became intense, unlike in the past. With the Union government Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) trying hard to foray into the southern states, the leaders there are highlighting how the state parties are getting benefited from these schemes while the state governments are enjoying the credit.
With the blame game between the Central and the state governments reaching the peak, the Union government is said to have decided to make a few changes to the existing schemes' structure and the changes are expected to hinder the image of the state governments.
If the media reports are to be believed, the Union government wants to send the benefits to the beneficiaries directly to their accounts rather than the state governments intervention.
This will work for the Center in two ways. One is that the state governments cannot endorse the schemes as their beneficiaries will receive the fruits directly. The second one is that the BJP can claim the credit alone for the schemes.
Once the new system gets applied, then the state governments should have to face the financial burden of the schemes if they have to launch any new ones.
On the flip side, the state governments cannot claim the credit of the existing schemes also. This would reduce the image of the parties among the people. Voters who thought that the state governments are helping them would know who is helping them indeed.
The new system is likely to come into effect from next month and this is expected to create a lot of trouble for the state governments as far as the schemes are concerned. The union government is also aiming at putting a full stop to the alleged diversion of funds from the funds that are being released by the Central government.
