FURTHER DISCUSSION on the following Resolution moved by SHRI AVINASH PANDE on the 19th December, 2014:— “Having regard to the fact that:- (a) the Constitution of India envisages a system wherein the Union Executive is held accountable to the Union Legislature, and the Union Legislature is held accountable to the citizens of India; (b) separation of powers between the Legislature, Executive and Judiciary has been recognized to be part of the basic structure of the Constitution of India by the Supreme Court of India in the landmark case of Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala; (c) the Supreme Court of India in the landmark case of Ram Jawaya v. State of Punjab, upheld that the functions of the different parts or branches of the Government have been sufficiently differentiated and consequently it can very well be said that our Constitution does not contemplate assumption by one organ or part of the State, the functions that essentially belong to another; (d) the functions of the Union Legislature under the Constitution are clearly and unequivocally restricted to lawmaking and ensuring accountability in the exercise of Executive powers by the Government; (e) the Union Executive is vested with the powers of implementation of laws enacted by Parliament and limited powers of legislation to aid implementation within the Constitutional framework; (f) there is nothing in the Constitution of India which empowers the Union Legislature or individual Members of Parliament to undertake the executive function of implementing the laws 166 enacted by Parliament or Schemes formulated by the Union Government; and (g) the Guidelines for Vigilance and Monitoring Committees at State and District levels were formulated by the Ministry of Rural Development for the constitution of State and District Level Vigilance and Monitoring Committees to provide a crucial role to sitting Members of Parliament to ensure the effective monitoring of the implementation of and expenditure upon rural development programmes of the Ministry of Rural Development, this House is of the opinion:- (i) that the Guidelines of the Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (hereinafter “the Scheme”) issued by the Ministry of Rural Development on October 11, 2014 are vague, unclear and incapable of implementation in its present form; (ii) that the powers sought to be vested in Members of Parliament under the Scheme guidelines create a conflict of interest for Members of Parliament who are nominated to the State and District Level Vigilance and Monitoring Committees pursuant to the Guidelines for Vigilance and Monitoring Committees at State and District levels to monitor Rural Development Programmes formulated by the Ministry of Rural Development and hamper the effective discharge of their duties to: (a) supervise, exercise vigilance and monitor the implementation of programmes of the Ministry of Rural Development, and (b) monitor the flow of funds through various channels; (iii) that the Guideline no. 12(a) designates Members of Parliament as agencies of implementation under the Scheme by vesting in Members of Parliament the following powers: (a) identify and select the Adarsh Gram, (b) initiate start-up activities to build up the right environment, and (c) mobilise additional resources to the extent possible, particularly from Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and philanthropists; (iv) that the Scheme guidelines, by making individual Members of Parliament interested parties in the actual implementation of the Scheme and through it, other Centrally Sponsored Schemes, indirectly curtail the power of the Parliament to question the Government and hold it accountable in respect of the implementation of the same; (v) that Guideline no. 12(b), by designating the Ministry of Rural Development as the nodal ministry, attempts to empower the Executive to hold individual legislators accountable to the Executive; 167 (vi) that Guideline no. 10 of the Scheme, which mandates that a facilitatory role is to be played by Members of Parliament in the planning process of the Village Development Plan, by spearheading interactions with the Gram Sabha, tampers with the three-tier federal structure of governance, and tantamounts to a sanctioning of undue influence and interference into the functioning of bodies of local self-government by the members of the Union Legislature; (vii) that the Scheme Guidelines permit collusive and corrupt practices as they do not specify: (a) that Members of Parliament should not be permitted to adopt villages where they own any property, business or financial interests, (b) the manner in which Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) and expert agencies are to be selected and appointed to conduct baseline surveys; (c) the manner in which Members of Parliament are to liaison with the private sector to raise and mobilize Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds from companies; or (d) the manner in which

  • WORTH of MINISTERS Union Ministers Have Shared Information Regarding Their Moveable and Immovable Properties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi
    WORTH OF MINISTERS Union ministers have shared information regarding their moveable and immovable properties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Some of these numbers vary from those filed in the affidavits before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda, for example, recorded the largest increase in assets. The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) claims most ministers have not declared the true worth of their assets to the Prime Minister’s Office. Here is a snapshot of the comparison of the numbers by ADR: MINISTERS WHO SHOWED AN INCREASE OF MORE THAN ~50 LAKH IN ASSETS MINISTERS WHO HAD NOT CONTESTED THE LOK SABHA ELECTIONS IN 2014 Piyush Goyal Minister of state — power (independent charge), coal (independent charge), new D V Sadananda Radhakrishnan P Arun Jaitley Upendra and renewable energy (independent charge) Gowda Minister of state Cabinet minister— finance, Kushwaha ASSETS AS DECLARED TO PMO: ~94 crore+ Cabinet minister — Railways (independent charge) — corporate affairs and Minister of state (independent *ASSETS DECLARED IN POLLS: ~30 crore+ ASSETS AS DECLARED TO PMO : heavy industries and public defence charge) — rural development, CHANGE: ~20 crore+ enterprises ASSETS AS DECLARED TO PMO: panchayati raj, drinking water ~64 crore and sanitation INCREASE: 212% ASSETS DECLARED IN POLLS: ASSETS AS DECLARED TO PMO: ~114 crore+ ~9 crore+ ~7 crore+ ASSETS DECLARED IN POLLS: ASSETS AS DECLARED TO ASSETS DECLARED IN POLLS: ~113 crore+ PMO:~3 crore+ Ravi Shankar Prasad Cabinet minister — CHANGE: ~10 crore+ communications
