Lack of transparency in the implementation of Aadhar card is affecting services to the common people, CPI-M state secretary Biman Bose said today and accused UPA government at the Centre for it.
"This lack of clarity in issuing Aadhar cards should be removed as it is effecting the common masses. The lack of transparency is affecting the services to the masses," she told a press conference.
Bose said Aadhar cards to be linked with bank accounts will affect the masses as many poor people in villages do not have bank accounts to avail its facilities.
Asked to comment on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's recent tirade against the Centre over Aadhar cards, Bose said "When this matter was brought up by the UPA regime, the Left had protested against many anomalies. But what was the stand of Trinamool Congress, which was then an ally of UPA, needs to be looked into."
"What was their (TMC) stand then and what is their stand now needs to be looked into," said Bose.
Banerjee had few days ago said Aadhaar cards must not be made compulsory to receive LPG gas subsidy and called for immediate review of the oil ministry's move.
Banerjee in her capacity as TMC chief had also warned that the IOC regional headquarters here might be gheraoed if required.
