What could be the cost of recently launched Laadli Laxmi Ceremony? Well, the event dated 6/9/12, the launch may well cross the controversial ‘Parrikar Govt. Swearing in Ceremony’ cost which was Rs.11 lacs I am sure, half page size colour Newspaper ad alone cost Rs. 1 lac per newspaper. We saw it all 4 English dailies and there are another atleast 4 Marathi dailies etc http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943377768/sizes/h/in/photostream/ Add: - Cost of Catering (there were 4 large buffet tables – see pics) http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943129500/sizes/k/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943129500/sizes/k/in/photostream/ - Cost of flowers stage decoration (Parrikar Swearing in ceremony it cost Rs.64,000) - Cost of Free Transport / Buses (there more buses at Campal garden lane) http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943186098/sizes/k/in/photostream/ - Volunteers men and women at help desk/counters, organisers /Security etc ( I don’t think they all come free). http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7953173244/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7953175128/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943176994/sizes/l/in/photostream/ An RTI would reveal lot more.. What was really pathetic was to see laadlis with their parents made to stay in the long serpentine queues. Never seen like this at Kala Academy before, attended several programes or events with Chief Ministers along with other cabinet ministers. http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk58/7943142212/sizes/k/in/photostream/ At the most, they could make them to form a separate line with the ones with handbags (for frisking). Someone left this comment elsewhere on the net: "You know Joe? It's unfair for the govt to make these people wait in such a long queue all day. If the govt is really keen on helping the people of Goa, they can find a way to reduce the queues. It reminds me of how I used to make my dog jump up high for his bone, knowing that I had eaten all the meat off it and it was just a bone. And what is the grand buffet all about? No queue there?" Its all about Cheap publicity stunt and that too at our cost It’s same with all politicians, BJP is not different Birds of feather flock together. fulu kusta fozne Remember, ‘the idea of Laadli Laxmi may be of BJP but not the money’ Fest korta gaum ani prizdenti naum (Feast celebrated with villagers' money but the president takes all credit) More info of the scheme including pics and video of the launch http://joegoauk-pointofview.blogspot.in/2012/09/laadli-laxmi-scheme-launched-today-6912.html [email protected] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc
