Challenges of SiddaKumar sarkar in Karnataka

Its appropriate to call this new Congress government SiddaKumar sarkar taking first half from CM and second half from DCM's name. People of Karnataka have plenty of hopes on this new double bull powered by government as the previous BJP government ditched them. Even till today they don't have voice to counter 40% corruption. It doesn't mean that SiddaKumar sarkar is going to be fully cleanest government but people wish it to be above the present mark in delivering goods to their constituents. It would be a joke if any one talks about clean administration in SiddaKumar sarkar. Because this double engine is fuelled from PM Modi's good old allegation of 10% sarkar. We have to imagine our common man's plight of moving from 10% to 40% and may be even beyond it. Instead of going to discuss the merits and demerits of this corruption saga let us concentrate on the pros and cons  of delivering the approved guarantees made by this double bull powered sarkar to the people of Karnataka.

There are five free guarantees waiting to be implemented immediately. People who voted this government has already  demanding electric bills, bus tickets to be paid with immediate effect. They are impatient.  At many villages voters are refusing to pay bus fare and current bills.This is just a sample of voters resistance towards delayed tactics. SiddaKumar sarkar is weighing the options in front of it as to how to  go about it. Its confused. In his first press briefing after the first cabinet meeting CM Siddaramaiah announced enthusiastically that his government has principally accepted to implementing the free guarantees given to the voters.In his second and cabinet meeting after expansion of ministry  sanction was accorded to the said guarantees perhaps with conditions. Opposition wants no conditions to be tagged. They want guarantees to be implemented in their bear nature. Its not easy to SiddaKumar sarkar to mobilise resources of 65 thousand crores in the ensuing budget next month. Still Siddaramaiahis not sure of how to fund them. But where is the  way for them to fund these free bees. He hopes to ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give back  around 5 thousand 500 crores of Karnataka's share of taxes collected. Along with additional 5 kg rice to each person. This may not be easy to get and only triggers the gap between both the governments.

Their own rough estimates  for implementing these free gurantees are around 50 thousand crores per year. But it will be higher to about 65 thousand crores according to financial experts.  The CM instead of finding resources to this scheme made a scathing attack on PM Narendra Modi for not giving the proper share from Karnataka taxes collected. This looks as a political gimmick and not a solution to the issue in front them. SiddaKumar sarkar  enthusiastically  announced the dates for each one of the guarantees and conditions for Kannadiga voter beneficiaries. Many common people particularly womenfolk are overwhelmed by these benefits still uncertain about getting those free bees as government is still underway to working out their modalities to save as much as possible by putting restrictions like annual average of power used, identifying lady owner of the house etc. If sufficiently  rice is not provided by the central BJP government, SiddaKumar sarkar wants to shortcut it with Ravi and jowar. So, it may not be easy walk for SiddaKumar sarkar to roll out guarantees to needy people or to the so called beneficiaries of Congress government.
