In my opinion ,the loosing the ELECTION in BIHAR is very similler to that of DELHI. The BJP could not connect themself to the GRASSROOT or POOR or RURAL Electorates to know their problems,Where as the OPPOSITION contected most of them.BJP party at center must take lesson from here. more  
Community parks/gardens have to managed jointly by the RWAs and ULBs. But the local bodies are generally indifferent because this kind of work does not give them any opportunity of percentage cut. Hence, the RWA has to constantly prod them for the help. more

So I think by just providing these resources is not sufficient. There is a strong need to come up with an accountability plan which comprises of penalties also. more
