Already UPA -2 has been bombared with many bill requests, in addition to many amendments which are pending by the way due to annaji's effect, now its time to make another request for the bill to nationalize and link rivers throughout India.
A Bill that is needed more than anything else in India is a Bill to nationalize all the rivers. It would really help the majority of India and it would also solve stupid river water disputes. Differentiating and rationing the national resources with linguistic based boundaries is a stupid thing to do.
Almost three fourth of Indians are in agriculture but their contribution to the national income have vastly declined to one fourth. Also the farmers suicide is an important issue that can't be sidelined. Could we afford to let the majority suffer just because of damn politics?
I'm quite surprised that the voters and common public have'nt voiced their concerns by exercising their right to vote. State having perennial rivers doesn't love to share it with the states having scarcity but they don't shy away from accepting welfare schemes by cg, funds for which are collected from all over India.
Many leaders and prominent figures including superstar have called for nationalisation of rivers and their unification. But no one have had the guts to do that. It is just amusing to see how the political greed and regional imbalances have slowed the process to an absolute standstill.!!!
