      CPI(M) will make Third Front workable: Biman Bose


       




      Kolkata (IANS): The Communist Party of India(Marxist) (CPI(M)) will use its rich experience of running a Left Front government in West Bengal to make the Third Front a success if it wins the Lok Sabha elections, says the party's politburo member Biman Bo se.

      He accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of encouraging "divisive and fissiparous" forces by aligning with the pro-Gorkhaland Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) in the Darjeeling constituency in the northern part of the state.

      Secretary of the CPI-M's powerful West Bengal unit, Bose told IANS in an interview: "The Third Front, the way the Left parties have initiated it, is not just a conglomeration of different parties."

      He said to make a Third Front government workable, "there will be a Common Minimum Programme which will be accepted by all the constituents.

      "I am hopeful this is possible. We have the experience in West Bengal where nine parties have been running the state government for more than 30 years. We consider the Left Front as less than a party and more than a front.

      "If we can apply this practice in forming the Third Front and can move accordingly, we can set up a sustainable government at the centre."

      Mr. Bose underlined that the Left started coalition politics long before other political parties in India. The Left Front government led by the CPI-M came to power in West Bengal in 1977 and has won successive elections.

      He dismissed as "meaningless" Congress president Sonia Gandhi's comment that the Third Front was born out of some of its leaders' ambition to become prime minister. "She should remember that in any case the prime minister has to be elected."

      Asked if West Bengal Chief Minister Buddahdeb Bhattacharjee could be one of the candidates for prime ministership, he called the question hypothetical.

      Mr. Bose came down heavily on the BJP decision to field heavyweight Jaswant Singh from Darjeeling with the support of the GJM.

      "The way the BJP has shown sympathy for the GJM and its Gorkhaland demand in its election manifesto, that will help the divisive and fissiparous forces to divide West Bengal.

      "The BJP is playing a dangerous game with the GJM. This will definitely break the unity and amity of the people in the hills and plains of Darjeeling," Bose contended.

      Mr. Bose discounted speculation that the Congress-Trinamool combine could end up with a much greater share of seats than in the previous elections five years ago.

      In 2004, the Left Front bagged 35 of the 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal, while the Congress and the Trinamool got six and one respectively.

      "This combination cannot gain more seats since electoral results do not depend on arithmetic calculation," he said.

      He also disagreed with the view that the Congress-Trinamool combine was severely denting the Left Front's traditional rural base.

      "It's a fact that in last year's panchayat (rural bodies) polls, the Left lost seats. But still we got more than 52 percent of the votes."

      He contended that the Left Front suffered reverses in the panchayat elections because of disunity in its ranks, leading to the partners fighting each other in more than 10,000 seats. He claimed that the differences had been ironed out this time.

      Criticising the Congress, the fulcrum of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), Bose said: "It is now becoming a victim of rightist forces. Their policies are not meant for the common people. Rather, they are aimed to benefit the wealthy sections."

      He said it was a pity the 123-year-old Congress was fighting the elections in West Bengal as the junior partner of Trinamool, its breakaway group.

      On Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee's call that it was battle for "mother, land and people", Bose said: "Their so-called 'mother, land and people' battle is not covering 543 constituencies across India. It is concentrated only in the 42 seats from the State."

       

      Cong. alleges widespread rigging by West Bengal govt.

      Kolkata (PTI) Alleging widespread rigging in the first phase elections covering 14 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal, the Congress on Thursday demanded that election observers be given the authority to recommend deployment of paramilitary forces.

      Alleging that the practice of deployment of central forces by the concerned state government posed a serious problem, AICC secretary Shakil Ansari said, "The West Bengal government deploys the forces where the ruling Left Front cannot rig the polls and don't post them where the front indulge in such practices."

      "Because of this problem, service of the central forces cannot be properly utilised in giving security to voters at sensitive areas. As such, central forces should be deployed through election observers," he said.

      Elections 2009: a comprehensive coverage


      http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/000200904291031.htm 


       

      Times Now this MORNING engaged itself to focus on the Next Government! The Interactions amongst the CREAM of Ruling Intelligentsia leaked the EXCLUSIVE EXIT POLL Result, congress is out! It would come down under 145 seats and the HYPE created the Toilet Media with continuous projection of 260 seats for UPA withers away.

       

      Earlier the  Quattrocchi case focused on the CONGRESS EXIT!

       

      The RULING INTELLIGENTSIA India centred on THIRD FRONT Government supported by Congress! However,BJP rules out supporting Third Front govt! Adani sets up foodgrain storage, handling facility!

       

      Thus,Red or SAFFRON, Get Ready for the Disaster Even after Congress Gets OUT!

       

      FIIs in FULL CONTROL!

       

      The Airports Authority of India Employees on Thursday deferred their proposed nation-wide agitation from midnight following a "favourable" order from the Delhi High Court on their demands, a top Union leader said.

       

      "Keeping in view the High Court as well as the ongoing general elections, we have decided to defer our proposed industrial action from midnight," General Secretary of the Airports Authority Employees Union M K Ghoshal told PTI.

       

      TRADE UNIONS are no more interested in any AGITATION and always make LAME Excuse for the RETRET!

       

      Amid economic slowdown, the New Pension Scheme will be thrown open to all Indian citizens on Labour Day on Friday, assuring the common man a safety net for old age.

       

      The New Pension Scheme (NPS) is a system which has defined contribution unlike assured benefits of old pension system.

       

      "The necessary infrastructure for the roll-out of NPS will be available to all citizens of India from May 1, 2009," interim pension regulator PFRDA said in a statement here. The PFRDA has got the approval of the Election Commission to roll out the NPS.

       

      NPS was originally scheduled for the beginning of this fiscal but was deferred due to the model code of conduct.

       

      Only non-withdrawable portion of the pension system will be launched Friday, while withrawable portion will be operational in about six months, the statement said.

       

      NPS is mandatory for all Union Government employees, who have joined the service on January 1, 2004 or later.

       

      Most of the state governments, except for Left-ruled ones and a few others, have joined NPS for their employees.

       

      Earlier, PFRDA Chairman D Swarup had said that the main objective NPS is to provide old age income security.


       


      BJP today ruled out supporting a Third Front government in the event of the NDA failing to cobble up a majority, stating the "nucleus of any non-Congress government has to be BJP or the NDA".  

      "The question of a BJP or an NDA support to a Third or a Fourth Front is a ruled out possibility," BJP general secretary Arun Jaitley said.  

      "There is a possibility of a non-Congress created government emerging after the polls and the nucleus of any non-Congress government has to be the BJP or the NDA, " he said.  

      "There is no Third Front possible in India as a government because a Third Front or a Fourth Front all together does not total up to more than 150 seats beyond any calculation without either the Congress or the BJP support," he told NDTV.  

      Jaitley said in such a scenario the Congress would have to decide whether it wants "short term or long term gains".  

      "But I see the politics gradually drifting in favour of a larger non-Congress party doing better," he said.  

      The saffron party's chief strategist said such a non-Congress formation could not form the next government without BJP.


        

      On the other hand, while we depend  so much so US Economy and do everything possible to defend US interest with the steps like Indo US Nuke deal, Strategic Realliance in US Israel lead, handing over Internal Security to Mossad and CIA, turning South Asia a War zone on the name of War against TERROR, making IT and Outsourcing TOP MOST PRIORITY Killing Agriculture, Indigenous Production system and market and Livelihood, the COUPLATION with ZIONIST Corporate Imperialism going to prove DISASTROUS for so called RISILIENT Indian Economy exposed very well by FALLING FREEsenSEX!

       

      As the US clears the meltdown "wreckage", more Americans will lose jobs and face tough times before the recession is out, President Barack Obama said after completing 100 days in office.

       

      "Millions of Americans are still without jobs and homes, and more will be lost before this recession is over," Obama said at a press conference in Washington.

       

      While his administration was "off to a good start..., the government is not as efficient as it should be," Obama said.

       

      Millions of Americans are without jobs and homes. Credit is not flowing as freely as it should. "Countless families touched by (the) auto industry still face tough times ahead ...," he said.


       

      Congress and NDA have become IRRELEVANT in north India. The Srilankan Crisis and ethnic Cleansing of the tamils have TREMENDOUS effect on the Dravid nationality based in all over South India. It sounded the DEATH Knell for the DUAL Party Political syastem advocated by the Ruling Class so fondly and now, it has to make Strategical Adjustment in case the Third front holds the Key of power in the Centre marginilysing the BRAHAMINICAL Mainstream parties Congerss and BJP, both assumed not to be able to cross 150 mark and Possibly, they may not be able to make a Cong BJP Coalition Govt suggested by Ex RSS Ideologue and Activist Gobindarya!

       

      Closing in from three sides on the cornered LTTE, including its leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, in their shrinking territory in the northern part of island, Sri Lankan forces on Thursday pushed back the rebels further killing 41 of them in fierce fighting.

       

      The army, which outnumbers and outguns the rebels, is now virtually close to encircling Vellamullivaikkal, close to the coast where Prabhakaran and his top aides are believed to be hiding, as President Mahinda Rajapaksa on Thursday declared that terrorism cannot be given a second chance.

       

      "We have no plans to go for a ceasefire with the Tigers," Rajapaksa said and warned the rebels that they must give up or be killed.

       


      His brother Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa told the British and French foreign ministers that Sri Lanka will keep up its military offensive until the leaders of the LTTE, mainly its chief Prabhakaran is captured "dead or alive".


       

      An estimated 50 per cent of the 14.4 crore electorate exercised their franchise on Thursday in the third phase of Lok Sabha polls nine states and two union territories, which passed off by and large peacefully barring stray violence in Bihar and West Bengal. India Inc and Bollywood VOTED amidst LIGHT and Sound signify the Panic in the Ruling segment!

       

      The Communist Party of India (Marxist) foresees a realignment of political forces after the Lok Sabha elections in favour of the Third Front and rules out its supporting the Congress in government formation as it does not want to be that party’s “palanquin-bearer.”

       

      The CPI(M) says it will “very seriously” consider joining a non-Congress secular government and does not outrightly rule out the possibility of its heading such a formation.

       

      In a wide-ranging interview to PTI, CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat spoke on various issues, including how the Left parties would approach the India-United States nuclear deal, an issue on which they withdrew support to the UPA government, and on the Sri Lankan issue.

       

      He was not in agreement with NCP leader Sharad Pawar that the Left parties would have to support the Congress and the UPA it heads in the post-poll scenario to keep the BJP out.

       

      “We don’t have to be palanquin-bearers for anyone …There is no danger of the BJP coming to power at the Centre this time. The choice will be a non-Congress secular government or a Congress-led government. I don’t think the BJP is going to be in the picture,” Mr. Karat said.

       

      In fact, more parties would join the Third Front after the elections. “We expect a realignment of forces. I am saying parties which are not with us now will come towards us,” he said.


      The overall trend, Mr. Karat said, was very clear that the UPA had practically ceased to e

      xist. Most of the parties (of the UPA) were going their own way and parting company with the Congress as far as the elections were concerned.

       

      “All these parties will have to decide after the elections what they propose to do,” he said.

       

      Asked whether the realignment could affect his combination also, the CPI(M) leader said the parties of the Front came into the grouping with the aim of defeating both the Congress and the BJP and their allies in the States.

       

      “We have already discussed that we need to carry forward this after the Lok Sabha elections and to see that we form a government at the Centre. The regional parties that have joined with the Left parties have a stake in this project,” he said.

       

      Asked if he had parties such as the RJD and the LJP in mind when he talked about realignment, Mr. Karat said the Front made a general appeal to all non-Congress secular parties to come together on a joint platform for pro-people economic and independent foreign policies and in defence of secularism.


      “Many of these parties share this approach and it is up to them to decide,” he said.

       

      On Mr. Pawar’s statement that the Congress and the UPA could not ignore the Left and had to do business with it after the elections, Mr. Karat said “his intentions are good.

       

      “But as far as we are concerned, we cannot accept and support a Congress-led government. We are working for a government which will be a non-Congress secular one.”

       

      Asked if he would mind the Congress being part of it, the CPI(M) leader said it was for the Congress to decide whether it would facilitate the formation of a secular government.

       

      “It is for them to decide.”

       

      He dismissed a view that the position of the Congress and the Left was only posturing before elections. “Let us see what happens. After the elections, everybody’s position will become clear. My party adopts a political line. It is not some on-the-spur-of-the-moment decision.

       

      “We have adopted a political line in which we have called for the defeat of the Congress and the BJP and the formation of an alternative secular government. We will work for that to succeed. Let us see.”


      Asked about the possibility of the CPI(M) joining the government at the Centre unlike in 1996 when it spurned an offer, Mr. Karat said it had been a long-standing policy (not to join a government if it cannot influence its policies) and it would take a decision after the elections.

       

      Mr. Karat said: “But we cannot say what type of government will be formed after the elections. If a non-Congress and secular government is feasible, then the matter will be taken up by us.”

       

      He said that last time the matter was not taken up very seriously because it was a Congress-led government and the party did not want to join it.

       

      “As I said, if there is a non-Congress government, the matter will be considered very seriously.”

       

      Asked if the party would agree to have its own Prime Minister if an opportunity came its way, Mr. Karat said “first of all, let us discuss whether we will join a government. Then we will see what is to be done.

       

      “There are various factors we have to take into account when we decide to join a government. So let us first see what are those circumstances and then we will take a decision,” the CPI(M) leader said.


      On his assessment of the polls so far, he said it was clear there was a three-way contest between Congress and its allies, the BJP and its allies and the non-Congress, non-BJP combination.


      In States such as Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, the parties of the Third Front were ahead, he said.

       

      On Mr. Pawar’s view that the CPI(M) and the BSP together would not cross 65-70 seats and the Third Front would not be in a position to form government, he said Mr. Pawar had forgotten parties such as the BJD, the TDP, the JD(S), the AIADMK, the PMK and others of this front.


       

      Desi Illuminati as well as Media wants Congree Involvement in the Next governments to continue the LPG RAJ and the ECONOMIC Reforms. At the same time, Mayawati taking over is not accepted as the most POSSIBLE Equation! Lal Krishna adwani is not wanted either!

       

      Congress is out, thus, the best equation is a THIRD Front Government with effective Congress Role to sustain Manusmriti Apartheid Rule in this divided Bleeding subcontinent!

       

      The electoral fate of political heavyweights Congress President Sonia Gandhi, BJP's prime ministerial nominee L K Advani, former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda, senior Left leaders Gurudas Dasgupta (CPI) and Basudeb Acharya (CPI-M) and senior BJP leader Jaswant Singh were decided in the third phase that covers 107 constituencies.

      The court then inquired as to what options were left with the prosecution in the case against Quattrocchi.

       

      "There were eight accused in the case. Three are already dead, four were acquitted by the Delhi High Court in February 2004. Various attempts to get Quattrochi extradiated to India have failed," the ASG said, sidestepping the question put to him.

       

      In her order deferring the hearing till September 8, the Magistrate said, "An application filed on behalf of CBI seeks period of two months to decide further course of action in the matter".

      The court had on February 10, 1997 send letters to Malaysia and the UAE seeking the arrest and extradition of Quattrocchi.

      Third Front will form govt: Buddhadeb

      Raigunj (WB) (PTI): Exuding confidence that the Third Front would form the government at the Centre, West Bengal Chief Minister and CPI-M stalwart Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee today said it would keep "communal forces" like the BJP and the RSS at bay.

      "The Third Front will come to power and would keep communal forces like BJP and RSS at bay. BJP means danger to the country, because the saffron party in power means riots and violence," the chief minister told an election meeting here.

      The NDA allies are deserting BJP because of its communal agenda, he claimed.

      Hitting out at the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre, Bhattacharjee said, "...Manmohan Singh betrayed us by signing the civil nuclear deal without discussing it with us...Has the prime minister thought of the price of per unit of nuclear power?"

      Referring to the Congress, the CPI(M) leader said the party has to be voted out of power. "Its 'Garibi Hatao' slogan, adopted decades ago, has remained a merely a slogan as poverty continues to stalk the country...We have seen the Congress for 62 years and we are disillusioned," he said.


       


      Satyam fraud: Full text of Raju's letter to board


       Hyderabad Following is the text of the letter Raju wrote to the Satyam board:

      "It is with deep regret and tremendous burden that I am carrying on my conscience, that I would like to bring the following facts to your notice:

      1. The Balance Sheet carries as of September 30, 2008,

      a) Inflated (non-existent) cash and bank balances of Rs 5,040 crore (as against Rs 5,361 crore reflected in the books);

      b) An accrued interest of Rs 376 crore, which is non-existent

      c) An understated liability of Rs 1,230 crore on account of funds arranged by me;

      d) An overstated debtors' position of Rs 490 crore (as against Rs 2,651 reflected in the books);

      2. For the September quarter(Q2) we reported a revenue of Rs 2,700 crore and an operating margin of Rs 649 crore(24 per cent of revenue) as against the actual revenues of Rs 2,112 crore and an actual operating margin of Rs 61 crore (3 per cent of revenues). This has resulted in artificial cash and bank balances going up by Rs 588 crore in Q2 alone.

      The gap in the balance sheet has arisen purely on account of inflated profits over several years (limited only to Satyam standalone, books of subsidiaries reflecting true performance).

      What started as a marginal gap between actual operating profit and the one reflected in the books of accounts continued to grow over the years.

      It has attained unmanageable proportions as the size of the company operations grew significantly (annualised revenue run rate of Rs 11,276 crore in the September quarter, 2008, and official reserves of Rs 8,392 crore).

      The differential in the real profits and the one reflected in the books was further accentuated by the fact that the company had to carry additional resources and assets to justify a higher level of operations thereby significantly increasing the costs.

      Every attempt made to eliminate the gap failed. As the promoters held a small percentage of equity, the concern was that poor performance would result in the takeover, thereby exposing the gap. It was like riding a tiger, not knowing how to get off without being eaten.

      The aborted Maytas acquisition deal was the last attempt to fill the fictitious assets with real ones. Maytas' investors were convinced that this is a good divestment opportunity and a strategic fit.

      One Satyam's problem was solved, it was hoped that Maytas' payments can be delayed. But that was not to be. What followed in the last several days is common knowledge.

      I would like the board to know:

      1. That neither myself, nor the Managing Director (including our spouses) sold any shares in the last eight years - excepting for a small proportion declared and sold for philanthropic purposes.

      2. That in the last two years a net amount of Rs 1,230 crore was arranged to Satyam (not reflected in the books of Satyam) to keep the operations going by resorting to pledging all the promoter shares and raising funds from known sources by giving all kinds of assurances (statement enclosed only to the members of the board).

      Significant dividend payments, acquisitions, capital expenditure to provide for growth did not help matters. Every attempt was made to keep the wheel moving and to ensure prompt payment of salaries to the associates. The last straw was the selling of most of the pledged shares by the lenders on account of margin triggers.

      3. That neither me nor the managing director took even one rupee/dollar from the company and have not benefited in financial terms on account of the inflated results.

      4. None of the board members, past or present, had any knowledge of the situation in which the company is placed.

      Even business leaders and senior executives in the company, such as, Ram Mynampati, Subu D, T R Anand, Keshab Panda, Virender Agarwal, A S Murthy, Hari T, S V Krishnan, Vijay Prasad, Manish Mehta, Murli V, Shriram Papani, Kiran Kavale, Joe Lagioia, Ravindra Penumetsa, Jayaraman and Prabhakar Gupta are unaware of the real situation as against the books of accounts. None of my or managing directors' immediate or extended family members has any idea about these issues.

      Having put these facts before you, I leave it to the wisdom of the board to take the matters forward. However, I am also taking the liberty to recommend the following steps:

      1. A task force has been formed in the last few days to address the situation arising out of the failed Maytas acquisition attempt.

      This consists of some of the most accomplished leaders of Satyam: Subu D, T.R. Anand, Keshab Panda and Virendra Agarwal, representing business functions, and A S Murthy, Hari T and Murali V representing support functions.

      I suggest that Ram Mynampati be made the chairman of this Task Force to immediately address some of the operational matters on hand. Ram can also act as an interim CEO reporting to the board.

      2. Merrill Lynch can be entrusted with the task of quickly exploring some merger opportunities.

      3. You may have a 'restatement of accounts' prepared by the auditors in light of the facts that I have placed before you.

      I have promoted and have been associated with Satyam for well over 20 years now. I have seen it grow from few people to 53,000 people, with 185 Fortune 500 companies as customers and operations in 66 countries. Satyam has established an excellent leadership and competency base at all levels.

      I sincerely apologise to all Satyamites and stakeholders, who have made Satyam a special organisation, for the current situation. I am confident they will stand by the company in this hour of crisis.

      In light of the above, I fervently appeal to the board to hold together to take some important steps. TR Prasad is well placed to mobilise a support from the government at this crucial time.

      With the hope that members of the Task Force and the financial advisor, Merrill Lynch (now Bank of America), will stand by the company at this crucial hour, I am marking copies of the statement to them as well.

      Under the circumstances, I am tendering the resignation as the chairman of Satyam and shall continue in this position only till such time the current board is expanded. My continuance is just to ensure enhancement of the board over the next several days or as early as possible.

      I am now prepared to subject myself to the laws of the land and face the consequences thereof.

      LTTE killed Tamil civilians: surrendered Tiger leaders


      Colombo Two top LTTE leaders, who gave themselves up before the Sri Lankan Army, have said the Tamil Tigers used the civilians as "hostages" never allowing them to flee the war zone and resorted to "mass killings" if they failed to heed.

      Velayutham Dayanithi alias Daya Master, former media coordinator of LTTE, and George, official interpreter of top leader, also appealed to the remaining Tamil Tigers to renounce violence and join the mainstream.

      "The LTTE is still using innocent civilians as hostages. They don't let them go out of the areas controlled by them. 'Viduthalai Puligal' (LTTE cadres) have killed a number of people in Sudanthirapuram area when they tried to flee from them," Daya Master, who surrendered to the Army last week, told the Sri Lankan state television.

      "More than 200 people lost their lives at the hands of LTTE in that one area," he said.

      George said people were scared of LTTE and after the humanitarian operations started "little by little" they used the vantage points to cross over to the Government-controlled areas.

      "Many died when LTTE cadres, manning the vantage points, resorted to killing," George, who was close to slain LTTE leader S P Thamilchelvan, said.

      Daya Master said he had been trying to escape LTTE for several years.

      "When the LTTE broke away from the peace talks in 2006, I decided to break away since I believed in negotiations," Daya Master said.

      He said after killing innocent civilians who tried to flee, the LTTE put the blame on the Sri Lankan Army of killing them.

      Daya Master said the Tamil Tigers, now confined to a 5 sq km coastal land strip in Mullaitivu, were forcibly recruiting children in the age of 14-15 years.

      "People who were born after 1994, 95 and even 96 have been forced by the LTTE to fight. They were recruited forcibly... they (LTTE) did not even spare the families which had only one child," Daya Master, who is now under the custody of the army, said.

      "They did not spare even people who were sick and were suffering from heart diseases... they recruited everyone and attacked people who refused to heed," he said.

      Recounting his more than 9-day journey from the LTTE-held areas to the 'Safe Zone', George said being old he could not run away from the LTTE.

      "I could not run as I am old... I used the opportunity when people broke out in a group to escape from the LTTE. I was among thousands of people… so I was able to escape," he said.

      George asked the remaining LTTE cadres to "renounce violence, throw away their arms, leave the leader and come to the military-controlled areas."



       Rahul mocks Advani over Jinnah issue


      Ghaziabad Launching a frontal attack on BJP, Cong General Secretary Rahul Gandhi criticised the saffron party's prime ministerial candidate L K Advani on Thursday saying he was not a "strong" leader.


      "For the first time they sent a minister to release terrorists. Then Home Minister (Advani) now says he was not aware of it. Does a strong leader talk like this?" Gandhi asked taking a dig the BJP leader.

      Addressing an election rally in support of the party candidate Surendra Goel in Ghaziabad, who is pitted against BJP president Rajnath Singh, Gandhi said, "In such a situation, a strong leader would have said I am resigning."

      The young Congress leader also said Advani was now claiming such things when the former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee "is not in a position to defend himself on the Kandhahar episode".

      "Strong leader does talk about Jinnah in Pakistan," Gandhi said with sarcasm.

      Hailing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the Gandhi scion described him as a strong leader.

      "When the Left parties put pressure on the government and said they would withdraw the support on nuclear deal, I met Manmohan Singh. He told me it was important for the future. ‘Governments come and go'...this is the characteristic of a strong leader," the Cong general secretary remarked.

      Gandhi also hailed Manmohan Singh saying the PM talked about the poor and wanted to take them along in the process of development.

      Ridiculing BJP for giving the slogan of 'India Shining' in the 2004 elections, Gandhi said Congress does not believe in such slogans until every child goes to school and college, until poverty is abolished and every farmer is happy.

      "We will continue to say India is progressing fast and until all the problems are resolved," he said.

      The youth leader referred to rural job scheme, NREGA, loan waiver for farmers, mid-day meal at schools, nuclear deal in describing them as a step forward in the country's development.

      Gandhi claimed that though BJP was opposed to the N-deal, but they (BJP) were ready to do it themselves. "But when we (Cong) found that there was some lacuna, we renegotiated it (N-deal). If Congress is doing it, it is wrong. This is their thought," Gandhi said.

      He claimed they (BJP) would not tell you about the plan for your future but only criticise Congress. "Congress stand for progress for everybody, rich and poor, people belonging to every religion, every caste, and every state," Gandhi said.

      Criticising the MNS leadership in Maharashtra, Gandhi said they asked people from UP and Bihar to go away from Mumbai. "All of us are Indians and we have to progress together," he said.

      Referring to the Mayawati government, Gandhi said it was the matter of regret that "we cannot provide all help to the people as our one hand is tied".

      "We have to change it in three years. We will change it," Gandhi said referring to the next assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh.

      In a sharp attack on BJP for describing Manmohan Singh as a weak leader who cannot fight terrorism, Gandhi said after the Mumbai attack, the PM puts so much pressure on Pakistan that it admitted that terrorist came from there.

      "Recently I went to Kashmir. There is peace... there is tourism," he said referring to the normalcy in the Valley and claiming credit for the situation after UPA came to power there.


       


      India Inc freezes hiring but no layoffs: PwC

      New Delhi Grappling with the economic downturn, most Indian companies have frozen their hiring plans for the short term, even as majority of them still rule out layoffs as a way of controlling costs, a PwC survey released said.

      Over three-fourth (76 per cent) of the respondents are reviewing their recruitment strategy to manage their costs in these unprecedented times, the survey by global consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers revealed.

      The report stated that most companies have frozen or deferred hiring and are adopting a "wait-and-watch" policy.

      However, most companies are shying away from employee layoffs as a way of controlling costs, with as much as 84 per cent of the respondents voting against it.

      The survey, carried out across 12 sectors and over 100 respondent companies, found that the IT/ITes sector is severely conservative in its hiring plans, with 84 per cent firms stating they have put a freeze on recruitment.

      Moreover, about one-third of Indian companies (35 per cent) revealed they have frozen salary increments for the coming year and are reducing bonus or variable pays.

      "Most companies in India are gearing up for tough times but are avoiding knee-jerk reactions, employers are uncertain about the extent, duration and depth of economic slowdown and the timing of a recovery," PwC India leader (People and Change Practice) Sankar Ramamurthy said.



      Modi’s role in ’02 riots: top cop Rahul Sharma among witnesses

      Express News Service

      Posted: Apr 30, 2009 at 0031 hrs IST
      Ahmedabad Senior IPS officer Rahul Sharma is among a dozen IPS and IAS officers who have been named as witnesses in the Zakia Jafri vs the State of Gujarat case. It is in this case that the Supreme Court has ordered a probe on Monday to establish if Chief Minister Narendra Modi and some of his then Cabinet colleagues had any role in the 2002 riots.

      Sharma has been included as a witness as he had been privy to the breakout of large-scale violence in Bhavnagar where he was posted as the Superintendent of Police. He had “contained it by displaying unusual examples of independent ethical behaviour” and had also taken a bold stand during deposition before the Nanavati-Shah Commission.

      Despite comandeering a skeleton force, Sharma managed to protect the students of a madrasa by firing at a mob resulting in the killing of several and injuries to 21 others. In fact, the then state home minister Gordhan Zadafia had taken him to task contending that more Hindus had been killed compared to Muslims as a result of the police firing.

      Sharma subsequently protected a mosque when it came under attack from another mob and arrested 21 miscreants on March 21. In his depositions before the Nanavati-Shah Commission, Sharma said he had differences with senior police officers over the release of arrested persons. Later he was transferred from Bhavnagar in March that year.

      Sharma was assigned to assist in supervising the investigations in the Naroda Patia and Gulberg Society massacre cases. Later, he had serious differences with senior police officer P P Pandey and others like D G Vanzara about the chargesheets filed in the cases.

      He had submitted his differences in writing to the then Ahmedabad Police Commissioner K R Kaushik on June 4, 2002. His main objection pertained to the inconsistency in the FIR and chargesheet filed in the Gulberg Society case. He was then transferred as Commandant SRP, Group XI, at Vav near Surat. Subsequently, he was sent on deputation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

      In his depositions before the Nanavati-Shah Commission, Sharma also submitted a CD carrying call details of senior police officers and politicians belonging to the ruling party during the riots. An independent analysis of the call details by The Indian Express in November 2004 proved that claims of many police officers and politicians about their location during the riots were totally false and misleading.

      However, the Commission did not order any inquiry into the evidence provided by Sharma. Even the police officers, who reviewed 2000-odd cases as per the Supreme Court orders, also did not bother to inquire into the revelations made by the CDs.

      Ahmedabad | New Delhi Describing the withdrawal of the Interpol Red Corner Notice by the CBI against Italian businessman and Bofors suspect Ottavio Quattrocchi as “the last nail in the coffin of the judicial process in the Bofors scandal”, NDA prime ministerial candidate L K Advani said he considered both Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi “guilty” and promised to “examine the Quattrocchi issue if voted to power”.

      Reacting to The Indian Express report on the CBI decision not to proceed against Quattrocchi, Advani told reporters in Ahmedabad that Singh and Gandhi were “directly responsible” for this and other “shameful acts of misuse of government institutions”. He said voters would punish the Congress the same way as they did in 1989 when the Bofors issue swept Rajiv Gandhi out of power.

      Advani said the Quattrocchi affair showed that the UPA was “not confident of returning to power” and, therefore, “could not put on hold such an important decision” until the next government took over. He said “all this amounts to a conspiracy to bury the truth about Bofors”.

      “I consider both the Prime Minister and Congress president guilty (of the withdrawal of the RCN)... His (PM’s) silence over the past five years on the systematic misuse of the CBI and the Law Ministry confirms his guilt. It also confirms my assessment that he is a weak and unworthy Prime Minister who had devalued his high office by making it subservient to the diktats of 10 Janpath,” Advani said.

      He questioned how the Congress could be trusted on its promise of bringing back black money to India, alleging that kickbacks in the Bofors scandal too were deposited in secret Swiss accounts.

      In New Delhi, the BJP promised to investigate the “CBI collusion with its political masters” if voted to power.

      “It is time the CBI is made accountable,” BJP general secretary Arun Jaitley told reporters, saying the agency “deserves to be investigated” to restore its credibility.

      He said the BJP would appoint a commission headed by a Supreme Court judge to investigate “the collusion of the CBI with the accused in several sensitive cases and suggest steps to institutionalise the independence of the CBI.”

      Jaitley said the RCN had been withdrawn by the CBI “at the behest of the political establishment and at the cost of its own credibility.” He called it a “farewell gift to the nation-in-law” by the UPA government. The timing, he said, suggested that the UPA was convinced it would lose power. “Like most despotic regimes, it is obliging its friends in the last days of office,” he said.

      The CBI, Jaitley said, had mastered “the art of self-goals” and “sabotage in criminal cases involving friends of the ruling establishment”.

      On Quattrocchi being let off, he said it was evident from the CBI “delay in lodging an FIR, delay in sending letters rogatary, not appealing against an erroneous judgment of the Delhi HC in 2004, collusion in defreezing his bank account in London, making statements in London to the Crown Prosecutor that there was no case against him, allowing the statements to be used against itself in the arrest case in South America and, finally, the withdrawal of the Red Corner Notice”.

      Has the UPA lost its early advantage?

       


       


       


       


       


       


       


       


       


      — A. Roy Chowdhury

      Is the wind blowing against the UPA?

       


      Rasheeda Bhagat


      Chennai: When you travel anywhere in the country bang in the midst of an election, no conversation can stray too far away from political parties and election prospects. More so, if you are a journalist. And so it was at a health writers’ workshop in Goa last week.


      On the very first evening an animated debate broke out on the poll prospects of the two main groups contending for power — the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance and the BJP-led National Democratic Front. It soon appeared that the UPA, which was thought to have some advantage before the five-phase polling began, is fast losing that edge, at least in journalistic perceptions.


      Nursing a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other, a tall and lanky gentleman from Delhi waxed eloquent on how the BJP would win all the seven seats in Delhi this time. This sounded exaggerated, till he admitted that he was a BJP MLA from Delhi.


      Hopefully, at least for his party, his political acumen is better than his sense of health, for the medical doctor countered a wry comment about the cigarette, saying, “... and I deal with cancer patients.”

      UP’s changed equation

       


       


      Then it was the turn of Mr Vivek Shukla, a feature writer from Dainik Jagran, Kanpur, to bat for the BJP. “I am no admirer of the BJP but this time it will do much better, thanks to the Brahmin vote. Even though UP Brahmins voted overwhelmingly in favour of Ms Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party last time, this time she will not get such huge support from them.”


      He says that though the BSP — which is now chanting the mantra of welfare and development of sarva samaj (all communities) — enthused by the Brahmin support it got in the 2007 UP Assembly elections has fielded 20 Brahmin candidates in the State, “UP Brahmins are not very happy with her work. Much of her support base from this community will shift back to the BJP and even the Congress, the two parties the Brahmins have always supported.”


      Club Mr Shukla’s perception about the Brahmin vote and the apparent anger among the educated classes in the State over what they call Ms Mayawati’s failure to ensure much development and her regime’s preoccupation with constructing stone memorials and installing statues of Kanshi Ram and herself all over Lucknow, and the BSP does not appear as strong as perceived earlier.


      The optimism in some quarters that Ms Mayawati will be able to get 40-50 seats from UP and emerge a strong contender for the prime minister’s post seems overstretched. Her party might improve on its tally of 19 seats won in 2004, at the cost of the Samajwadi Party which had got 36 seats and which banks more on Yadav, Muslim and Other Backward Class votes. But the number 40 appears stretched.


      The Congress, on the other hand, is wooing Brahmins and other forward castes quietly, in direct contrast to the highly visible campaign of the Gandhi family scion, Mr Rahul Gandhi, pitching for Dalit support. But having failed to forge an alliance with the SP in UP, it might find it difficult even to hold on to the nine seats it got in 2004. This means the BJP and the BSP are likely to gain at the cost of the SP.


      If senior journalists from both Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, who were present in Goa, are to be believed, the BJP will do quite well in both these States. The Ram Sene issue, pointed out Mr R. Shankar, a senior editor from Bangalore, “has been blown out of proportion. Even Mr S. M. Krishna has been saying in interviews that this was the making of the media.


      The BJP, which is ruling Karnataka right now, is likely to do very well here.”


      Mr Jain, a senior health writer from Indore, had no doubt that the BJP would do “very well in Madhya Pradesh; people are very happy with MP Chief Minister Shivraj Chauhan. Without much hype, he has quietly been working for the development of the State and he will be rewarded.”

      THE PM Question

       


       


      All this is bad news not only for the Congress but for the UPA and its fair-weather allies such as the Nationalist Congress Party chief, Mr Sharad Pawar, and the Lalu-Paswan combine in Bihar. While Mr Pawar bowls a googly at the Congress every now and then — his latest being the election of a prime minister from the UPA only after the polls, clearly indicating that Dr Manmohan Singh is only the Congress’s, and not the UPA’s, prime ministerial candidate, each passing day makes the going tougher for the two champions of social justice in Bihar. They are pitted against a strong pro-incumbency current for Mr Nitish Kumar, who is an integral part of the NDA, and will help to swell its numbers.


      In Andhra Pradesh too the Congress is not expected to sustain its 2004 performance, and there is no question of the UPA getting all 40 seats from Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, as it did in 2004. Small wonder, then, that voices are emerging from the UPA — first it was the Prime Minister and now it is Mr Pawar — for support from the Left.


      This has emboldened the CPI(M) General Secretary, Mr Prakash Karat, to say that instead of the Congress expecting the Left parties’ support to keep out the BJP, it should think about extending support to the Third Front to keep out “communal forces”!
