GOVERNMENT GETS CONTROL OVER 30% OF FUNDS DONATED @ SHIRDI

GOVERNMENT GETS CONTROL OVER 30% OF FUNDS DONATED @ SHIRDI
28th July`2011

The Maharashtra Government has set its eyes on the large funds donated by devotees @ Shirdi.
And so in-order to fulfill its own duties towards the State,
the Government has decided to utilize the donations offered by devotees at the Shirdi Shrine.

On Wednesday 27th July`2011, the Maharashtra Government passed the Bill seeking an amendment

to the "Shree Sai Baba Sansthan Trust (Shirdi) Ordinance 2004",
which gives the Government the right to access up-to 30% of the donated funds collected

by the Shirdi Sansthan Trust through devotee's.
This Bill was passed at the Maharashtra Legislative Council

without any discussion what-so-ever and irrespective of the huge political opposition
against this idea till now, there was no opposition by any political party when this Bill got actually passed.

So now, the Maharashtra Government legally has got the right to utilize up-to 30% of the funds

collected by the Shirdi Sansthan through donations.

It can use these funds to implement a slew of Infrastructure, Development and welfare projects at Shirdi.
In other words, the Shirdi Sansthan Trust now has the Authority to give Financial Assistance & Grants to the Boards,
Companies or Institutions falling under the control of Maharashtra Government.

The Government can now use the devotee's donated funds for the development of the Shirdi Airport, Railway Station,
Bus Depots, Car-Parking and other projects which were stuck earlier due to the Government's lack of funds like the construction
of a 6 km long Skywalk around the Shirdi Temple, Footpaths, Pedestrian Pathways, a 10-level-high multi-layer Parking lot, Ring Road
and a bypass road for the Traffic, widening & reconstruction of around 25 km of road in and around Shirdi etc

Earlier, on 21st July`2011,
the youth activists of a political party had organised a Begging Rally just outside the Sai Baba Temple @ Shirdi,
in-protest of Shirdi Sansthan using the donation funds for the completion of the Shirdi Airport,
which actually was the duty of the State Government.

They begged on the roads and decided to give the collected money to the Shirdi Sansthan,
for them to use it instead of the donation money for completion of the Airport work,
as they were against the Sai Santhan giving Rs.50 Crores to the Government for the same.

They have also threatened "Shirdi Bandh" and Self-immolation near the Sai Temple itself,
if the Sansthan goes ahead & gives the money to the Government.

While, on 22nd July`2011,
Union Tourism Minister Subodh Kant Sahay visited Shirdi

and said that his ministry would provide Rs.300 crore for the development
of the Sai Baba Temple premises and Shirdi town.

He assured that he would discuss the issue with the Maharashtra Chief Minister.
He said that the development of Shirdi has been rather slow,

considering that nearly 30,000 devotees come to the town every day
and so if they could double the sector''s contribution to GDP, lakhs of new jobs would be created.

As to the Sai Baba Temple Trust giving money to the Maharashtra Government for proposed airport at Shirdi,
he said it was not right for the Government to turn to the Shirdi Trust for this purpose !!!
