Uttar Pradesh parks , monuments and statues are historical in nature for the future will remember what the SC/ST/OBC icons have done to the society as we find only non SC/ST/OBC icons all over the country. What better use for the sarvajan could be there than these. No other parties even imagined to create history than this.

In the 2007 assembly polls, 46.58 per cent votes were polled for 67 seats of which BSP got 35,Now it will win 51 seats. 60 per cent turnout in 6th round of UP poll   The high stakes battle for power in Uttar Pradesh entered the last lap Tuesday with 60 percent peaceful voting in the sixth and penultimate round of the assembly elections that end next week.  Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati  UP elections: I hold master key to power, thunders MayawatiBahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief called upon SC/STs along with the Sarvajan Samaj to vote for her if they wanted a Scheduled Caste to remain at the helm of affairs. "If you vote for the Congress, all the poor and unemployed would have to go to other states to earn their livelihood." A victory of the Samajwadi Party in the ongoing assembly elections would only usher in "goonda, badmash and mafia-run jungle raj", she warned. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), she said, would only bring back communal and feudal politics. "The state under BSP has been free of communal tensions and people have lived in amity," she said, referring to the five years since 2007 when the BSP took power on its own. She accused the Congress-led central government of creating hurdles in Uttar Pradesh's development. "The high court benches in Meerut and Agra have to be cleared by the centre. Many of our financial problems are the result of centre's lack of support," Mayawati charged. "If you want a Scheduled Caste ki beti (SC's daughter) as your chief minister again, vote for the BSP." And she added to thunderous applause: "Today I hold the master key to power." Mayawati said the BSP did not believe in election manifestos. She warned that small shopkeepers and businessmen would be without work if the Congress allowed foreign direct investment in retail sector. Chief Minister and BSP Supremo Mayawati has alleged that the Congress is responsible for backwardness of UP. She wondered how the party could change the face of the state in five years, when it had done nothing during its long rule at the Centre. Most of the time, it was the Nehru-Gandhi family which had ruled the country, she said adding, "When they could not do anything during this period, how can they develop the state in five years." Mayawati confident of winning more seats
Referring to the slow pace of development in some sectors in the state, she said, "Our target is to provide 24-hour electricity per day if we are given further chance to serve the state and if the Centre cooperates with us". She said that the Centre had been very stingy in releasing funds for the state and "whatever development has taken place in UP during the past five years has been achieved with our own meagre resources and in some cases with the help of private sector". Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Monday attacked the Congress on the issue of corruption asking why the party was not uttering a single word on graft and price rise. "The Congress is not uttering a word on corruption and price rise in its regime. If you all made a mistake while exercising franchise, you all have to face life of insult and hooliganism," she said while addressing an election meeting. Attacking the Congress for defaming her government on the issue of corruption, Mayawati alleged 62 scams of Rs 20 lakh crore took place in the Congress-led government at the Centre.But a scam worth thousands of crores like 2G is different. Congress's support was scattered, organization weak. This wouldn't help the party.Congress spoilt it by bringing in Muslim quota and going back to caste and community politics Promising to provide 24-hour electricity, Mayawati said contrary to Oppositions' claim, BSP would get absolute majority in the state. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati today rubbished media surveys that projected BSP to be in bad position in the Assembly polls and reminded voters that her party had got majority in 2007 despite similar predictions. A BSP worker taunts media: "Have you seen such support for any leader? But you will write about Rahul Gandhi, not her.""I want to tell the people that the surveys being shown on TV channels and in the media are showing BSP winning only a few seats. They should not be misled by these as in the 2007 polls too, BSP was not shown in surveys, yet we formed government with absolute majority," the BSP supremo said. At an election rally here, she said, "We will prove all such claims by the media as wrong this time as well and achieve absolute majority," he said. "When the Election Commission ordered draping of statues of elephants in the state, the media kept showing it for 15 days thinking that we will get negative publicity. Instead, we got very good publicity free of cost," she said. More than anything else, this has helped in the party's symbol being recognised all over the country, she said. Referring to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remark that he had a lot of respect for Kanshi Ram, she posed, "Where did all this go when he died and the central government did not even declare a holiday. Our community will never forgive the Centre for this." She said that in spite of "limited resources" from the Centre, her government had helped the SC/ST, backward and very backward sections to progress. Congress is bracing for the possibility of defeat in Uttar Pradesh. Congress and Rahul Gandhi are getting in ahead of the game to reposition the narrative since the Congress will fare considerably worse than expected. He appeared to concede that with such a performance – that will come about – will not be enough for the Congresss to secure a large enough chunk of Assembly seats. According to Rahul Gandhi, the electoral arithmetic of UP dictate that only when a party secures in excess of 20 percent of the popular vote will it translate into substantial representation in terms of Assembly seats. He now argues that his effort is to revive the Congress in UP over eight to 10 years. Congress will fare badly and it will be construed as a personal defeat for Rahul Gandhi, who has invested far more of his time and energy in this campaign than any central-level Congress leader has in any previous elections in UP. Doubts will increasingly be raised about his ability to be a "game-changer" for the party. Just as important, a poor verdict for the Congress in UP will render the Manmohan Singh government even more of a lame duck than it is currently. Mayawati said the Election Commission had hurt the feelings of SC/STs by ordering the covering up of elephant statues across Uttar Pradesh because the animal was the election symbol of her party. And in a mocking tone, she thanked the media for giving the elephants and her party so much publicity for free. Ask people why I am confident, says MayawatiUttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati has claimed that her government has done more for the state than the Congress, the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) put together. Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo has said that she is asking for votes in the assembly elections on the issue of development.

| No action against Nasimuddin Siddiqui: UP govt Lucknow: The UP government on Monday told the state Lokayukta that a CBI probe as recommended by it against its minister Naseemuddin Siddiqui cannot be initiated as the charges made against him were not related to any of his decisions or approvals taken during his tenure as minister. "It is not possible to take action as per the law on the recommendations of the Lokayukta as there is no charge against Naseemuddin on approvals granted by him or any of his decisions and works as a minister," an official spokesperson said here. Won't people see the contradiction between his promise of political morality and the tainted Congress-led UPA government at the centre? Won't that Rahul's team in UP isn't exactly lily white or has an edifying record? The Hand of Congress was used to swindle lakhs of crores of rupees meant for Aam Aadhmi through taking bribes and depositing the black money in Foreign Banks with the very same hand  . This hand has stopped the progress of this country. This hand takes money from the rich. Buy votes from the poor and shows ta..ta...  to help the TATAs and Birlas. Youth are rubbing ganja in this very hand because of frustration of not getting enough jobs. 
Neither the Congress nor the BJP nor the SP that ruled UP for 40 years but never provide any reservation to Muslims. Now for the sake of votes they are making bogus promises.

Their comments are not published agsinst their views. As long as they are paid they are not bothered about their sales as they are paid by their bosses. They are forgetting that there is a very powerful media in this country. Their prediction that Ms Mayawati will get 303 seats will come true just like in 2007 where the predictions of the above views papers and the ideas of the medias failed.

VOICE OF SARVAJAN
FREE ONLINE eNālandā Research & Practice UNIVERSITY & BUDDHIST GOOD NEWS LETTER Through :http://sarvajan.ambedkar.org Poll managers are rapidly coming to the conclusion that the BSP is gaining 303 seats.
Party supremo Mayawati, is still going to emerge as the number one player in UP, with as many as 303 seats. This is because the BSP, has been exceptionally careful in the selection of candidates.
Mayawati has denied tickets to as many as 100 sitting MLAs and has removed the ministers perceived to be corrupt. While the Congress may be seen to be 'appeasing' the Muslims, the fact is that the BSP has given tickets to the maximum number of Muslim candidates.
The BSP has fielded 85 Muslims, and the Congress, which has given tickets to 60 Muslims.
Mayawati,will account for a lot in the presidential poll.
'The BSP will certainly be a player in Uttarakhand.

[dhamma_voice] ANOTHER ELECTION STUNT FROM THE DYNASTY CLAN: Manmohan stresses on cashless outpatient care in public hospitals
JOYSINGHC@aol.com ;
Sugarcane farmers benefit through SIS system in Uttar Pradesh
LUCKNOW: For sugar cane farmers in Uttar Pradesh a novel e-governance project has come as a boon for dealing with delayed payments, under weighing of their produce, problems in selling cane and a host of other related issues.
In a state starved of any innovative governmental initiatives, the Sugar Information Service, started by the Uttar Pradesh government has earned accolades and is now the largest rural information technology platform in the country receiving 8 lakh hits for IVRS generated updates to farmers in the last 90 days and updating 2.5 crore webpages.
UP is the largest producer of cane in the country and the sugar industry is one of the mainstays of the state's economy. But cane farmers have always grappled with issues like-getting their cane fields surveyed, selling their produce to mills, correct and timely measurement of cane, prompt payment etc.
There was lack of transparency at each level and farmers at times illiterate were taken for a ride. Millers also suffered at times, as due to these hassles many farmers had started shunning cane cultivation or used to sell it to the local jaggery or 'khandsari' units leading to shortage of cane for mills.
"We figured that most farmers have a mobile phone or atleast have access to it with telecom services reaching remotest parts of the state. We thought of harnessing the mobile phone and for those who do not have a mobile or are illiterate and cannot read SMSes incorporated an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) feature" said Cane Commissioner Kamran Rizvi.
As part of the project a model website was developed and adopted by all 116 operational sugar mills in the state. A password protected webpage for each of the 30 lakh odd farmers was developed.
The website is supported by SMS and IVRS facility. Farmers can access all information regarding them through either visiting the website, SMS or making a call to the IVRS number.
The website is updated on time 24x7 and SMS sent out to individual farmers as soon as any transaction is done with them. All 7,000 cane purchase centres were equipped with Hand Held Computers to complete the system.
The system helps farmer gets instantaneous updates right from the start of the cane farming season till he receives payments for his produce. The SIS informs all farmers by sending individual SMS when the mills start operations in their area and begin buying cane.
Mills only buy cane in installments and according to the date allotted to an individual farmers, so that they do not have excess stock and a situation where cane is left drying in the open leading to low recovery of sugar.
Nearly 126 million people are registered to vote in the Uttar Pradesh state elections Congress alone believed in fighting corruption- Congress president Sonia Gandhi Sunday pointedly blamed the SP, BSP and BJP

Blaming the Congress for starting 'corruption culture' in the country, the BSP chief has alleged that the maximum black money in foreign banks was that of Congress leaders.
Attacking the Congress for defaming her government on the issue of corruption, Mayawati alleged 62 scams of Rs 20 lakh crore took place in the Congress-led government at the Centre.But a scam worth thousands of crores like 2G is different.

Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh is right in saying that Congress is not fighting Uttar Pradesh elections to form a coalition government, because of their fourth position. Gandhi scion was not one who can "make or break" by any one election knowing well that the congress is not going to win.
Election Commission notice to Sriprakash Jaiswal for President's Rule comments
New Delhi: Holding prima facie that his comments on imposition of President's Rule in Uttar Pradesh a threat to voters and violation of Model Code of Conduct, the Election Commission on Friday slapped a show cause notice on Union Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal asking why action should not be initiated against him.
"The commission is, prima facie, satisfied that Shri Sri Prakash Jaiswal, by making the aforesaid uncalled for statement has attempted to threaten the voters of districts going for poll in 6th and 7th phases either to vote for his party i.e. INC, or face imposition of President Rule in Uttar Pradesh and has thus violated the aforesaid provisions of the Model Code of Conduct," the poll panel notice served on him said.
The commission asked the Coal Minister to explain his position on the matter by 2 pm on Monday, failing which it will decide the matter without giving any further opportunity to him.
The commission discussed the matter at its meeting attended by Chief Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi and Election Commissioners V S Sampath and H S Brahma and decided to issue a show cause notice to Mr Jaiswal on his comments.
The poll panel action comes in the wake of complaints received, charging Mr Jaiswal with violating the Model Code and for threatening the voters of Uttar Pradesh.
The Election Commission acted on the complaint made against Mr Jaiswal yesterday and the complaint received by it today.
Mr Jaiswal had, after casting his vote in Kanpur in the 5th phase of polling on Thursday, said, "If Congress gets majority, then it will form the government... in case we don't get clear majority, we sit in the opposition and I see no alternative but Governor's rule."
The commission had earlier sought the video of Jaiswal's speech besides also a report on the matter from the district magistrate of Kanpur, which has since been given.
The commission held the Model Code of Conduct was for the guidance of political parties and candidates and it provides that "all parties and candidates shall avoid scrupulously all activities which are 'corrupt practices' and offences under the election laws such as ... intimidation of voters..."
Reacting sharply to Mr Jaiswal's remarks, the Congress is treating the state like its fiefdom and the minister's comments is "undemocratic and a threat to the voters".
President's rule in UP if Congress does not get a majority would be blatant misuse of the provision.
A Union minister has publicly announced that if our government is not formed, President's Rule will be imposed... Article 356 will be used. Nobody can even think of such blatant misuse. The makers of our Constitution had never imagined it would be used in the manner the minister has stated.
"The commission is, prima facie, satisfied that Shri Sri Prakash Jaiswal, by making the aforesaid uncalled for statement has attempted to threaten the voters of districts going for poll in 6th and 7th phases either to vote for his party i.e. INC, or face imposition of President Rule in Uttar Pradesh and has thus violated the aforesaid provisions of the Model Code of Conduct," the poll panel notice served on him said.

He is issuing a threat to voters that if you do not vote for Congress, we will bring President's Rule. This (UP) is not Jaiswal's fiefdom. This is a democratic country. By issuing such a threat, in a way Jaiswal has violated the model code of conduct and threatened people.

Akhilesh Yadav, president of the Uttar Pradesh unit of the Samajwadi
Party, tells Aditi Phadnis what his party's agenda will be if it comes
to power
Your party is seen as being opposed to big industries and anti-investment…
Not at all. It was during the regime of Netaji (former Chief Minister
Mulayam Singh Yadav, also Akhilesh's father) that Uttar Pradesh got
its first-ever Economic Development Council, which brought the top
people in the field into the state, including Nandan Nilekani, who was
then with Infosys, Kumaramangalam Birla and Anil Ambani. We conceded
it is possible that politicians don't understand business. So, the
Development Council was mandated with overhauling and tweaking
policies to bring investments to the state.
What we did specify was a positive bias to those industries which are
linked with the interest of farmers. So, our government set up 29
sugar mills, which could produce power from bagasse, and we exempted
them from taxes. The Tatas set up a bus plant, producing Marcopolo
buses. The Anil Ambani group set up the Rosa thermal power plant,
adding 600 Mw power with the provision of producing 1,200 Mw in the
future. It was our government that set up the Anpara-C thermal power
plant, given to Lanco, with 1,200 Mw capacity. Also, there is the
hydel power plant at Srinagar, which was given to the GVK group.
The Dadri plant could not come up because of the opportunist agitation
launched by V P Singh. Otherwise, Uttar Pradesh would have been a
power-surplus state.
During the same period, hotelier Lalit Suri suggested our government
should set up industries that involve skill development of young men
and women in the state. We thought if the state was able to set up 12
to 15 world-class hotels before the Commonwealth Games, it would boost
employment. So, we proposed hotel management courses as well as gave
land to the Tatas, ITC, etc, to set up hotels in the state.
But when the Mayawati government came to power, the land allocation
was cancelled, taking the case to the Supreme Court. The SC has now
ordered the Noida authority to charge an additional Rs 70,000 per sq
metre of land allotted for the 14 hotel sites. If the matter had not
gone to the court, the hotels would have been ready, up and running by
this time.
A charge often levelled against us is that we are against English. But
it was Netaji who set up the Amity University, which is one of the
finest universities in the region today. No one has been able to match
the private medical colleges set up by our government. But,
unfortunately, the government that succeeded us made a hash of medical
education. I only need to give the example of the medical college cum
hospital that was to come up in Azamgarh. The Mayawati government did
not allow it to happen. We have also set up universities for
minorities.
Many of these ideas came from a man, who you have now thrown out of the party…
There is good and bad in all of us.
Why does this perception still persist that the Samajwadi Party is
narrow and backward-looking, as well as opposed to modern ideas?
Take a look at our manifesto. We are offering inter-colleges and
midday meal schemes, especially in endemically backward areas such as
Mirzapur and Bundelkhand. We are offering laptops with Hindi and Urdu
softwares to students. We will build roads and increase connectivity,
so that people in the most backward areas can also access progressive
education.
I don't think these are backward-looking objectives. In fact, Mayawati
emphasises on the inferiority complex of Harijans. The Congress and
the Bharatiya Janata Party offer you fear and hatred. Ours is the only
party that has a positive campaign. The Congress tried to cheat the
Muslims in the name of 4.5 per cent reservation for them. This quota
will not help the community in any way. The Samajwadi Party will
provide more reservation for the Muslims on the basis of the Sachar
Committee and Rangnath Mishra Commission's reports.
Your party is associated with a return of rowdyism and politics of
thuggery on campuses…
Law and order will be the highest priority of our government. There is
a committee in our party, under the leadership of Ramgopalji (Mulayam
Singh Yadav's brother), to scan the people who should be allowed to
enter the party. As far as law and order is concerned, we want to set
up CCTVs everywhere — in police stations, tourist and religious
centres. This will serve as a deterrence to anti-social activities.
You are believed to have said on the record that if you come to power,
you would auction statues of elephants and dismantle Ambedkar parks.
How do you think the Dalits would react to such a statement?
I was misquoted. I never said statues would be auctioned. There is
enough political space for everyone. Most of these parks occupy
several acres of land — some span 600 acres. We would like to use the
land in a better way — create aesthetically modelled medical colleges,
research centres and information technology centres. We will seek
advice from their (Mayawati-government appointed) architects! In fact,
these complexes will be meant for the Dalits. Except they would be for
their progress, and not for statues of individuals.
Your party is undergoing a transition, as the leadership is shifting
from the hands of one generation to another. How are you going to
manage it?
True, there have been some issues. Some things have come up. But there
is no change in principles. The Samajwadi Party believes in equality
and prosperity for all. The whole party is engaged in campaigning.
Who do you consider as your closest political ally in Uttar Pradesh,
helping to form a government if you don't get the numbers?
We will get a majority on our own. We won't need any help from anyone.
The people of Uttar Pradesh will ensure that.
Do you see yourself as the chief minister?
Netaji will be our chief minister.
