West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee has been taking various steps to \u201ccleanse\u201d the political system of corrupt practises. One of the measures taken by the administration is to introduce from July, the concept of a \u201cgrievance day\u201d \u2013 a particular day of the week \u2013 possibly Monday, when the district magistrates would hear from people their grievances.<\/p>\n
It could be about any problem \u2013 getting cheated by local politicians in government schemes, lack of facilities somewhere, or not getting the benefits of particular schemes and projects. It could be about having to pay a bribe to get work done, or having to share money from a project they benefited from.<\/p>\n
Districts officials are also being asked to go around from place to place and talk to people locally, to find out gaps in the system and where political functionaries are coming in the way of implementing government projects.<\/p>\n
Already Banerjee has introduced a toll free number to receive complaints on people\u2019s grievances on corrupt practises. Hundreds of complaints are pouring in every day. While people are making their grievances known to the government, a section of Trinamool Congress workers are upset that this is taking place.<\/p>\n
But Mamata Banerjee has said that those who are aggrieved with the Trinamool Congress because they cannot make money, were free to leave and joined some other political party. She mentioned this at a meeting with councillors from all over the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
