Participating in the debate on state budget in the State Assembly he said that the budget of any government is an indication of its motives and will. In Gujarat youth is being exploited by giving a meager fixed wages despite High Court’s order to increase the salary. Widows are not given sufficient pension. There is no relief for framers, small entrepreneur, labourers and middle class people. This budget would further widen the gap between rich and poor, he said. He said that he had proofs to show that how few industrialists had been given land at nominal price while the state had become poorer. He cited the case of scandal in land allocation to L&T. He said that the company had demanded more than 20 lakh sq.m land in 2007 at various places in the state. Of this the land at Hazira near Surat was important. The state level SLVC had finalized the price at Rs.2020 and 2800 respectively but the Narendra Modi government gave away the land at only Rs.700. The same company had demanded thousands sq.m. land at Bopad and Akhol villages at Vadodara for technology park. The valuation committee fixed the price at Rs.346 per sq.m but the Modi government gave away the land at only Rs.134. The government bulldozes a small hut of poor on government land but it regularized encroachment of 7,24,897 sq.m. of Essar in Surat in 2009. The valuation committee had fixed Rs.2020 per sq.m for regularization besides penalty but still the Modi government charged only Rs.700 per sq.m and there was scandal of Rs. 238.50 crore , Gohil alleged. Protesting against the recent increase in property tax in Ahmedabad he said that the government should not put taxes on common man for benefit of few rich people. He also opposed closure of AMTS routes and said that the government must work for the benefit of common man. During elections the BJP government had promised to build 50 lakh houses for middle class people. But there was fraud in Gujarat housing Board draw and the government was forced to cancel the draw. In this budget the government has mentioned only 3 lakh houses but the amount which has been allocated is not sufficient even to build a hut in the city, he said. Referring to the work of Narmada canal, he said that had government completed the work on schedule, the golden period of Gujarat would have started. Only 2.09 lakh hectare of land gets irrigation water because of criminal negligence of the government. Government is totally indifferent in providing Narmada water to Kutch. The monetary provision it has made will take water only up to Anjar. He said that the the government was generation power much lower than its installed capacity. Giving figures of 2013-14 from government records he said that it was just 32 per cent of installed capacity while in 2001 the figure was 58 percent. In 2013-14 the generation was 15850 million units against installed capacity of 48177 million units. In 2001 the installed capacity was 39770 million units and power generation 23327 million units. The shortfall in power generation was just to benefit favourite industrialists. Exposing claims of government of creating employment, he said that there were more than 7.50 lakh registered unemployed. Even in recruitment there was money making by agents who belong to the BJP. He said that the name of a BJP leader Nandlal was exposed in police investigation followed by a supplementary charge sheet. He is present in BJP functions while police claims that he is absconding. Gohil showed a photograph of a BJP function to prove his point. In this case, he said Kalyamsinh Champawat who was arrested by police was only a mask while real culprits had deep rooted connections in the BJP. shaktisinhgohil/press-release/press-note-eng-dt08072014-on-gujarat-budget/
