The MLAs of ruling party, who enjoy enormous clout in the day to day administration and influencing the decisions at grass-root level have cut a sorry figure by scoring very poor marks for their performance. It is not known how serious the TDP supremo is about the progress reports he himself got prepared for the 175 MLAs of the party on their role in the implementation of all flagship programs of the government such as pensions,loan waiver, NTR vaidya seva etc. The progress reports have been given to the MLAs concerned in Saturday’s Telugu Desam Party’s extended meeting held in Vijayawada.
Over all, the the people are not happy with the MLAs, the survey conducted by the party president said. Only 33 PC MLAs have got good marks from the people while 23 per cent fared poorly with the people. Another 38 per cent received “not-bad” marks. The survey was conducted to know the people’s perception about the seven flagship programs of TDP government. After that subjects have been asked to reveal about their perception of the participation of the MLAs in the implementation of these programs.
Except Arogya Sri, schemes like loan-waiver to the farmers, and self-help group women did not find favor with the beneficiaries. Schemes-wise, the pension scheme scored well in the implementation by scoring 77 per cent approval while 17 per cent people were expressed their dissatisfaction. 70 per cent people are happy with the way the ration being supplied through the PDS system. Janma Bhumi committees have failed to fare well by getting a score of approval of just 38 per cent.
Much to the chagrin of CM chandrababu Naidu only 27 per cent beneficiaries have expressed satisfaction over the way the loan waiver was implemented. The people who were not happy with the scheme were 29 per cent. Similarly, the loan waiver to DWCRA fared poorly with the beneficiaries. About 34 per cent wowen were not happy with loan waiver while those satisfied with the scheme were a meager 27 per cent. The program touted as revolutionary by the government, the sand mining to SHG groups received miserable score with an approval rate of just 24 per cent. The approval rate of Arogyasri, renamed as NTR vydya seva got highest approval rate of 38 per cent.
It is not yet clear whether there was any column related to the performance of chief minister and other ministers. As the MLAs role is limited to the constituency only, it is important to know the rate of approval of the ministers and chief minister statewide.
