Conclusion on Duare Sarkar Campaign
Therefore, what we can understand from this Duare Duare Sarkar Prakalpa is that the Govt. is trying to reach out to the maximum number of people just before the next Assembly election in West Bengal.
There is no harm in it. There should not be any problem with it either. Your own Govt. is visiting your doorsteps to know if there lies any problem regarding any benefits that you did not receive.
You don’t need to be very confused. Don’t judge this campaign from the political aspects, just take full advantage of this campaign if you have been deprived earlier. Every political party whether in States or Centre does similar things to conquer the hearts of the Voter and it’s your turn now to take advantage of this.
However, the main benefit of this Duare Sarkar Scheme from the common people perspective is that the people would get an opportunity to voice their demands and grievances. It will enable the existing Govt. to introspect their performance so far.
In my personal opinion, the Govt. is trying to implement this Duare Sarkar Prakalpa for checking whether they have been able to deliver what they promised earlier, and if they find any lacuna from their part, they would try to rectify it to the best of their abilities.
But there is a very old famous saying that ” Its better late than never”. The Govt., through Duare Sarkar Campaign, is trying to make a damage control to a large extent which would ultimately benefit the common people who might have been left out of the benefits that they deserve. Ultimately, the common and less financially abled people are going to benefit from this campaign.
Finally, the common people would decide whether the short term Duare Sarkar damage control scheme would have been able to satisfy their hearts to the fullest and whether this would leave any impression on the ballot box in the next election.
