Akrama Sakrama - what is the stand of opposition ?

  • The stand of opposition on Akrama - Sakrama is not clear.
  • There was a strong opposition by both Congress and JD during re-introduction of the scheme as they feared that citizens of Bangalore might support BJP in the last BBMP elections. Now, the election is over and BJP is ruling the BBMP.
  • In fact, this scheme was originally introduced by Congress party when they were ruling. Later on, JD and BJP lead alliance run govt also supported this.
  • But, when it came to actual implementation - BJP wanted to take full credit and as such reintroduced the scheme with some modifications. But, again opposition parties made a big hue and cry. Governor also did not give assent to the bill.
  • As a result, the scheme is in limbo and the affected citizens are left in the lurch.
  • Hence, Let opposition parties come out with a clear stand on this so that some concrete decision is taken by the people at the helm of affairs and lakhs of affected citizens get relief finally.
