" GNH has not reached rural population"
declares DNT candidate in Bumthang debate this evening. Lying is an incorrigible habit and it seeps into core character of a person.
GNH is not intangible. It is not abstract. It is there for all to see if you are not in the habit of denying and lying. Do not get into the habit of denying the Tsawa Sum in every word you utter. How did a rural boy reach the stage of vying for MP seat if GNH is yet to reach rural Bhutan?
GNH comes in the form of schools that provide education to children of all Bhutanese whether rich or poor.
GNH comes in the form of hospitals and BHUs in all Dzongkhags and Geogs that service the health of all Bhutanese.
GNH comes in safe drinking water, motor roads to all geogs and hundreds of villages. In improved crop seeds, introduction of cash crops and development of markets for products. Promotion of cottage and handicraft industries and trade. The King who gifted the development philosphy of GNH, had rural population at the core of his vision.
GNH comes in electricity in all village homes and at subsidised rate too. In mobile phones that connect all to each other both farmers and urbanites, rich or poor.
GNH comes in power tillers that have replaced bullocks and farm works done in few days that used to take weeks. In Boleros that scoop up farm products and reach to markets for better prices.
GNH come in election of local government
by the local population. GNH comes in the form of national government elected by the people of the nation. Whether in rural or urban, you have just one vote and same right. Thus please do not deny the absolute reach of GNH all over Bhutan. Leadership is not about who tells the most convincing lies.
GNH in practical forms of facilities and services are prevailing in every corner of the Kingdom and at the service and benefit of all villagers and urbanites alike.
GNH is not just a royal vision like a " castle built in the air ". It has been implemented on the ground. And today all Bhutanese enjoy peace and properity that was never imagined when the 1st 5 year plan was developed. GNH has been brought into lives of every Bhutanese in the most tangible and transparent deeds as desired and planned by the Kings of Bhutan.
Yes we still have much to do but we need to do for all. Not only for poor or just for rich. But please recognise and give credit for what have been achieved so far.
And yet DNT candidate declares that GNH has not reached rural communities. Perhaps the DNT candidate has been living in another country such as Sub Sahara under a Zulu Chief. He certainly is not talking truthfully about Bhutan.
It is the gift of GNH that has enabled this same DNT candidate of Bumthang Tang to receive both education and professional employment opportunities. And made it possible for him to stand before the nation on BBS TV today in equal opportunity with the Leader of Opposition Party. But lying to the whole nation first in a dramatised taped video with ficticious audience inserted about his fabricated BBS laments and second today lying that GNH has not reached rural Bhutan is his own manufactured character. Nothing to do with GNH wisdom and gift.
