New Delhi, May 8 (India Today) : With the NDA set to celebrate its one year in power at the Centre, the resentment brewing among party MPs against the government and top party leadership has begun to come out in open.
At the party's parliamentary meet on Wednesday, when the first-time Ballia MP Bharat Singh attacked the Narendra Modi government and union ministers for failing to fulfil people's expectations.
He said that despite tall promises and claims ahead of Lok Sabha polls, the government has failed to deliver on the ground. Talking about his constituency, Singh said despite large amount of funds being released by the government for the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, not even a single kilometre of road has been built in his constituency.
Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu clarified that Bharat Singh's resentment was against the state government for not properly utilising and distributing funds. But sources say Singh's anger was aimed towards the union ministers who are inaccessible for party MPs and they have to wait for months for a reply of their queries. Many other MPs also supported Bharat Singh in the meeting by clapping when he ended his tirade.
BJP has announced that it will mark the NDA government's completion of one year in office as 'Jan Kalyan Parv.'
Under the week-long celebration from May 26 to June 1, the party will highlight the schemes, policies and programmes of the Modi government.
Ministers, MPs and senior functionaries of the party will travel across the country to highlight the government's welfare measures and various policies for the welfare of the poor.
Modi will also launch his two ambitious insurance policies.
Union minister Arun Jaitley and Rajnath Singh have been assigned to launch the scheme from Mumbai and Lucknow respectively. Party MPs have also been instructed to launch the scheme from their respective constituencies.
The government aims at implementing the scheme at a large scale like the Jan Dhan Yojna and insurance agencies will be given targets to ensure the scheme's success.
