New Delhi, Apr 1: Indian Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu has emphasized the need for people to elect their representatives on the basis of 4Cs of Character, Conduct, Calibre and Capacity and not other considerations. The Vice President was releasing the book ‘Suparipalana’, that is the Telugu translation of 'Echo T Calling: Towards People-Centric Governance'.
The book is written by former Telangana Chief Secretary, S K Joshi. Vice President M Venkaiah further added that unfortunately the other 4Cs of Caste, Community, Cash and Criminality were replacing Character, Conduct, Calibre and Capacity, which are essential for providing good governance. He reminded, “Citizen-centric governance will come from governance-centric electorate."
The Vice President said that good governance was essential to fulfill the aspirations of the people and in ensuring that various schemes were implemented effectively. Good governance was also equally important to fulfill the aspirations of the people. He further added that, “Happiness comes with good governance.”
Describing elected govts as ‘holders of public trust’, Naidu advised them to act responsibly and serve the people conscientiously. He called for streamlining govt’s efforts to make the ease of living better for all citizens.
