At time when chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and his Government was doing brainstorming under 'Manthan 2014' Right To Information (RTI) activist Ajay Dubey has alleged that State Government failed to act on recommendations made in the past.
“lakhs of tax payers money has been spent on the grand events like this hence the Government is accountable to the people, especially when the similar events held on earlier occasions failed to bring in any change in the Government functioning,” Dubey said.
Dubey said that the Madhya Pradesh government has been indecisive on recommendations of 'Manthan 2009', an initiative of Chouhan for good governance and policy initiatives, of the 850 odd recommendations for good governance proposed during 'Manthan 2009,' 300 are gaining dust for five years now.
Dubey said while the state government failed to act on recommendations made in the past, 'Manthan 2014' began at RCVP Noronha academy of administration here on Saturday.Documents procured under RTI Act by Dubey states a total of 964 such recommendations aimed at bringing good governance in State were made in 2009 of which 96 were rejected by the state government and of the remaining 878 government has failed to act on 338 till date.
However, Chouhan said 'Manthan' held in year 2007 and 2009 has given better results and a lot of administrative changes have taken place on the recommendations made during these brainstorming. He termed it as attempt to improve governance and empower people of the State.
