Everybody is shouting there are lot of development in Gujrat during BJP rule? First of all I am not a supporter of any political party, congress, cpm or any other party. What development in Gujrat? I am settled in Delhi for last 15 years and I use to read almost all periodicals and news papers. I found that under BJP rule Gujrat has become a purely Hindu State. During their regime, a lot of godmans like Asaram Bapu, Ramesh Oza, etc etc have emerged and they are earning crores of money in the name of religion without paying a single rupee as tax and CM himself is supporting these activities. This Asaram Bapu has occuppied acres of land in the heart of Delhi illegally without the permission of any authority. These Godmans makes public fool and earn money by just speeches and dances (Even it is heard that Asaram Bapu performs Raas Leela on the Stage!!!) Whatever development is being going on in Development, the full credit goes to NRIs and Reliance group. What is role of Modi in this? He visits foreign countries every year and spend his holidays there. The Gujratis are wasting their money in constructing temples and ashrams. In Delhi they have constructed Akshardham temple at a cost of 100 Cr (on paper). This they are doing in a country where a majority of people in our country are living in streets and slums without a proper house and find very hard to have food for at least one time. But these people are selfish and they waste money for religion.
You are right, 100s of people are dying of lung diseases in Gujrat due to ship breaking industry:
Today apparently 50 per cent of the world's ship recycling is done in Alang GUJRAT by a work force of some 35,000.
Many of them earn a meager Rs 100 a day.
The white and blue asbestos found in the skeletons of these ships is one of the most toxic chemicals in the world. Prolonged exposure to asbestos guarantees a date with lung cancer a few years down the line.
These end-of-life ships, most of them built before laws regulated what a ship could be built from, may also contain PCB, lead and explosive materials. These materials damage the environment, the health of ship-breaking crews and cause serious accidents and explosives.
It is estimated that 300 people die each year in Alang.
