New
Delhi: Amid the much hue and cry over the cow and its related issues, Prime
Minister Narendra Modi has expressed anger at self-styled “gau-rakshaks”
(cow-protectors) who “run shops in the name of cow protection. PM has demanded for action against criminals who masquerade as
protectors of the cow.
He was addressing in a unique “townhall” interaction
that marked two years of MyGov, - the Government’s web platform for
participatory governance - the Prime Minister asked State Governments to
prepare a dossier of such people.
During
the show, PM answered a range of
questions on various subjects such as good governance, foreign policy, and
participatory democracy.
Mentioning
how cows were dying due to plastic consumption, he urged all those who were
genuinely concerned about the welfare of cows to devote their efforts to
ensuring that cows do not consume plastic.
He
said that the spirit of democracy is incomplete if one thinks the citizen's
role stops at voting. Participative democracy is essential, he emphasized. He
said 'last mile delivery' is as important as policies, and the benefits must reach
the intended beneficiaries. He said good governance means those processes that
are redundant do not exist. Grievance redressal systems are the biggest
strengths of a democracy, he added.
Narendra
Modi said if there is one sector that can power the economy, it is agriculture.
Mentioning the Rurban Mission, the Prime Minister said that his vision was to
provide modern amenities to the rural areas, while retaining the soul of
villages.
