Aam Aadmi Canteens

While most political parties are busy giving out doles to corporates. Delhi's Aam Aadmi Party's government has decided to launch a string of Aam Aadmi Canteens that would provide people good food at very low cost. Meals would be available for as low as Rs 5 or Rs 10.

This shows that if you give votes to people with clean and right intent, they will do good work for you. While the previous Delhi governments pilfered away thousands of crores of rupees , which ultimately went into the pockets of few thousand corrupt people , the government of Delhi on one hand has stopped corruption, while on the other hand has taken initiatives for public welfare.

After increasing the education budget by 106% and increasing the health budget by 46%. The Delhi government started Moholla clinics , followed by the announcements of launch of Aam Aadmi Canteens. The fact should be noted that  48% of Delhi's population lives in jhuggis so the Aam Aadmi Canteen is a blessing to them. Also street food is not hygenic and can cause lots of diseases. So the Aam Aadmi Canteen is boon for those people who consume street food.

The idea of the Aam Aadmi Canteen has come from the Tamilnadu's example of of success of Amma's Canteen. This also shows that if the government has clean intentions then public would be happy. 

Narendra Modi, when he was the CM of Gujrat gave thousands of acres of land near Kandla port to Adani group at a throwaway price of Re 1 to Rs 32 per sq meter. The Adanis made hundreds of crores from that deal by leasing the same land to other organisations at much higher prices. The Reliance Group was given the gas wells at KG basin, and they are charging India $ 4.34 for every mmBTU of the gas they extract. The highest rate in the world , while extracting gas from the same well costs less than $1 per mm BTU. 

While corrupt governments give benefits to crony corporates. The AAP government of Delhi has given the benefits to the common people and needy people.

Its all about changing the way politics is done in the country. Politics need not be dirty. When politics is done with clean intentions , it can be the highest form of social service.
