SETTING EXAMPLE OF GOOD GOVERNANCE
Good governance is the term which every third political party promised to deliver to the country men ahead of Lok Sabha or even Vidhan Sabha polls in the country but it is only BJP leadership has set example for ensuring good governance by taking so many decisions meant for public welfare without caring about the outcome or their impact on its vote bank. Taking the example of J&K, the BJP led government has gone too far to provide succor to the people and set the model of good governance in recent times. The major steps which will go down in the annals of the history as insignia of good governance by the BJP Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi include package for the PoK refugees, justice for West Pak Refugees, daughters of the soil who solemnize marriage to someone from outside the UT, Valmiki and Gorkha community people and now grant of ST status to Paharis which otherwise is a tough decision because the powerful Gujjar and Bakerwal communities are opposing this by tooth and nail over the apprehension that the reservation to Paharis will eat up their piece of pie. Knowing to the hilt such kind of repercussion, the BJP has kept on stake the political outcome though Paharis also hold a big population with Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs being the part of this segment of society. There is no doubt that after getting the status of ST by the benevolent Narendra Modi Government the Pahari tribe in Jammu and Kashmir is jubilant. Reportedly, the Pahari leadership is fully convinced that the incumbent government at the centre is a welfare state and thinks for all without giving any preference to elite classes as was the case of successive governments which adopted different measures for dealing with different segments of society while keeping the elite class at the top pedestal. It is pertinent to mention that the movement for justice to Paharis was started way back in the 1970s when the Paharis demanded reservation for being the inhabitants of backward and underdeveloped areas. It is good that the BJP Government has set an example of good governance by giving much delayed justice to Paharis.
