Tourism and BJP’s one-track mind

The BJP can only see tourism everywhere as even as elections loom they refer to leaders as political tourists. Recently, they are forcing  hinterland tourism! There are no STPs or police outposts in the hinterland, yet they want to push for the same? What will those  passing out from the 5 engineering colleges, the pharmacy college and the numerous science colleges do? Does the govt plan on converting them to schools for masseurs and casino dealers? 

In UP, a principal of a govt school, punished a Std II student by holding him upside down by one hand on the ankle from the first floor balcony! In MP a headmaster forced some girl students to dance with him in a locked room while he was drunk! Are these the kind of tourists we want to force into the soft underbelly of Goa where there are no police outposts? The govt is also giving loans upto Rs 10 lakhs to start any tourism business: this is an open invite to all the riff raff in India! Where are the TMC and AAP? Cannot they see the rot in front of their noses?
