In this article, we use data from the 2019 NES post-poll survey to assess the impact of BJP’s welfare schemes on voting behaviour. We demonstrate that compared to earlier elections, voters are more likely to give credit to the central government as opposed to state governments or local politicians for welfare schemes. This centralization is especially the case for some of the BJP’s new welfare programmes such as Ujjwala and the Jan Dhan Yojana. However, even earlier Congress-era schemes such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and the Awas Yojana are now more associated with the central government. Schemes such as the Public Distribution System (PDS) and Old Age Pensions are still more likely to be associated with state governments. At the all-India level, we find some evidence that voters who received benefits under Ujjwala, Jan Dhan Yojana or Awas Yojana schemes were more likely to vote for the BJP, whereas recipients of pensions or MGNREGA were less likely to support the BJP.

The article deals with the impact of instruments of state financial control on the management of state and municipal property. The subject of the research is methodological approaches to the classification of violations revealed during control and expert-analytical activities carried out by state, regional and municipal financial control bodies. The topic of the work is the influence of state financial control instruments on the assessment of the state and municipal property management effeciency and the prospects for their application. The aim of the work is to present the author’s position on the effectiveness of the application of methodological rules and norms during control and expert-analytical activities. As a result, the importance of the principle of independence as a separate category of activities of state and municipal financial control (audit) bodies was expanded in order to focus on its leading role. The theoretical and practical provisions in the field of state financial control over state (municipal) property were combined using the example of a new object of state financial control and audit; analyzed the classification of objects of control in terms of violations and shortcomings. As conclusions, positive opportunities and negative consequences of strict adherence to standards developed in this area, collected by the method of economic grouping, were predicted. The author has used the following research methods: substantiations of proposals in the field of state financial control in terms of assessing their impact on the state and municipal property management efficiency, a literary review of scientific methodological developments in terms of attracting, using and disposing of state and municipal property, a method of data classification with using statistical groupings

This paper attempts to explore the adoption of changes introduced by an IT-intervention in the context of a social welfare scheme. Using case study methodology, we have studied the changes introduced through the project ‘CORE PDS’ (Centralized Online Real-time Electronic Public Distribution System) in the Chhattisgarh Public Distribution System (PDS). CORE PDS was a far-sighted project aimed to integrate the retailers (Fair Price Shops, FPSs) with IT infrastructure. It simultaneously introduced two changes. One was an automated transaction processing system while another was the provision of portability for the beneficiaries. After 2 years of its implementation it was observed that despite the government’s diligent efforts, only the automated transaction processing system was adopted, while portability was discarded by the FPSs. We use the theoretical lenses of stakeholder theory and agency theory for identifying reasons for this partial failure. Our analysis suggests that information system (as monitoring and reporting mechanism), outcome uncertainty, risk aversion and goal conflict play critical roles in the adoption of changes. Changes with higher monitoring, lower outcome uncertainty and lower goal conflict are easily adopted, and on the other hand, lower monitoring, greater outcome uncertainty and higher goal conflict result in lower possibility of adoption.

Examina procedimentos do Tribunal de Contas (TC) de Mato Grosso para a contabilização da receita e despesa vinculada à Manutenção e Desenvolvimento do Ensino (MDE), pesquisa que pretende abranger todos os Tribunais de Contas do Brasil. Embora a documentação consultada não seja suficientemente detalhada, foi possível constatar equívocos e oscilação nas interpretações do TC. Por exemplo, num ano o TC considerou o percentual mínimo dos impostos (35%) fixados pela Constituição estadual, porém em outros se baseou, sem nenhuma justificativa, nos 25% da Constituição federal. Outro equívoco foi incluir na base de cálculo do percentual mínimo receitas que são adicionais a este mínimo, como os convênios e salário-educação. O surpreendente foi constatar a aceitação pelo TC, desde 2004, a partir de consulta formulada pela Secretaria Estadual de Fazenda, de que o imposto de renda dos servidores estaduais e municipais não seria classificado como imposto e, portanto, não entraria na base de cálculo dos impostos. Na classificação das despesas em MDE, o TC não teve uma interpretação uniforme sobre o pagamento dos inativos com o percentual mínimo, ora aceitando-o, ora rejeitando-o. Na questão das renúncias fiscais, que correspondem a centenas de milhões de reais por ano, o governo estadual e o TC não cumpriram a Constituição estadual, pois elas não podem ser subtraídas do montante sobre o qual incide o percentual mínimo vinculado à educação. Outro equívoco do TC foi contabilizar restos a pagar que sejam pagos no exercício. É um equívoco, porque tais despesas pertencem a exercícios anteriores, mesmo porque suas fontes também a eles pertencem. Em síntese, em conseqüência destes procedimentos equivocados dos governos estaduais e provavelmente dos municipais e sua aceitação pelo TC, é possível estimar em centenas de milhões de reais o prejuízo anual para a educação pública estadual e municipal do Estado de Mato Grosso. Palavras-chave: financiamento da educação; orçamento da educação; Tribunais de Contas; Mato Grosso. Abstract The article examines procedures adopted by the Audit Office of the Brazilian State of Mato Grosso to calculate revenue and expenditures linked to the maintenance and development of education (MDE) and is part of a research intending to cover all the Audit Offices in Brazil. Although the documentation consulted was not sufficiently detailed, it was possible to find mistakes and oscillation in the interpretations by Audit Office. For example, in one year, the Office took into account the minimum percentage of 35% of taxes set by the State Constitution, but in other years, with no justification, it considered the percentage of 25% stipulated in the Federal Constitution. A further mistake was to include in the minimum percentage revenues that are an addition to the above said minimum. It was surprising to find that the Office has accepted since 2004, after a consultation by the State Treasury Secretariat, that the income tax paid by state and municipal civil servants would not be classified as tax and would not, therefore, be included in the calculation of the percentage linked to education. In the classification of expenditures in MDE, the Office has not adopted a uniform interpretation about the payment of retired education personnel using the funds linked to education (the minimum percentage). In the issue of tax incentives reducing the funds to education and amounting to hundreds of millions of Brazilian reais per year, the State government and the Audit Office have not complied with the State Constitution, for the incentives may not be disregarded in the calculation of funds linked to education. Finally, as a result of these mistaken procedures adopted by state governments and probably by municipal administrations and their acceptance by the Audit Office, it is possible to estimate that the state and municipal education in Mato Grosso lose hundreds of millions of Brazilian reais every year. Keywords: education funding; education budget; Audit Offices; the Brazilian State of Mato Grosso.

Drawing on empirical observations of operation of public distribution system in different states of India, the paper constructs a preliminary game theoretic model. It argues that an effective public distribution must be as universal as possible, delivery mechanism of fair price shops should be re-formed, they should be make them commercially viable and that special attention should be paid to PDS at times of high food inflation.
