NEW DELHI: Nehru-Gandhis can continue to shine down on us from welfare scheme posters but institutions created by Jawaharlal Nehru as part of his grand socialistic vision will have to go. That sums up the new Sangh policy on welfare scheme/project iconography as articulated in Budget 2014 that also saw the debut of a slew of new schemes bearing the names of Sangh stalwarts Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Deendayal Upadhyaya besides Madanmohan Malaviya and Jayaprakash Narayan.A minister in one of the social sector departments, who wants to go unnamed for obvious reasons, recollects an anecdote in this regard.Soon after he took charge, an award named after former PM Indira Gandhi came up for discussion, and someone raised an awkward question. “I was asked whether the award, named after Gandhi, be given this year or suspended till a final call was taken?” said the minister. He instructed that the award be continued. After all it was named after a former PM, and besides the new PM didn’t want to be seen churlish on such issues. “This has been discussed in the government, there is no move to scrap any schemes named after the Nehru-Gandhis,” the minister added.A couple of days later, budget came out with two schemes named after Sangh stalwarts Shyama Prasad Mookerjee and Deendayal Upadhyaya, and two more named after Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel.All this would of course lead one to presume that NDA redux would have none of the agenda of NDA-I under Vajpayee. And yet, there has been a question mark on the changes in several institutions which bear the Nehruvian stamp, most notably, the Planning Commission It’s been over a month, neither a Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, nor the Planning Commission has been constituted. Staff appointment of ministers have also come under the scanner to weed out appointees of the previous regime. So what template is the new NDA government playing to? According to top sources in the RSS, who have given Arun Jaitley ’s maiden effort as “A”, the difference lies in the comfort of numbers.“The BJP has a majority of its own in Parliament, unlike in the previous NDA regimes. The generosity is selective as is the change,” said RSS leader. “In the case of schemes and awards named after the Nehru Gandhi family, it will appear ungenerous to scrap them and this government probably won’t. Nehruvian institutions are a different matter,” said the source. “The effort for a BJP government this time is to go forward without any apraadh bodh or guilty conscience,” said the source.
