Most Respected Chief Election Commissioner of India,

Could not find his email ID, may he doesn't like to be in front and cant lead by example.

Following email ids of some of his senapati's, could be found. We may send our mails to them.

With the issuance on Thursday of the notification for the first phase of Assembly polls on February 8, there is and apprehension in the minds of the people of this country in general and the broad minded people of Uttar Pradesh in particular, that the comedy action of the Commission may even postpone the UP election out of fear that the BSP may cross 300 seats.You have ordered for draping of elephants in Uttar Pradesh which are not the symbol of BSP.

But this is the BSP election symbol

Yet you have ordered it to be draped saying elephant is an elephant whether its trunk raised above or low. In that case will you order the following standing sitting dancing, milk drinking elephants found all over UP to be draped. Will it not be a comedy?

BSP general secretary Satish Chandra Mishra fired a missive to Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi on Thursday, protesting against the "one-sided order." Describing Ms. Mayawati as Scheduled Caste ki beti (daughter of a SC), Mr. Mishra wrote that the EC's diktats had demoralised the SC/STs and downtrodden sections.BSP general secretary and Rajya Sabha member Satish Chandra Mishra criticised the order. Mr. Mishra had written to the Commission saying its order was in violation of the law, and that it be reconsidered. Mr. Mishra had even said the Commission had demoralised the party and left SC/STs and backwards "cheated." The BSP also appeared to raise questions on the Commission's intentions to hold free and fair polls in the State.

Mr. Mishra had written: "The decision is [in] violation of Article 14 of the Constitution, which provides right of equality. Similar decisions should be taken against other parties also."

All the 170 million pairs of hands, bicycles, lotuses and all the photos of Lakshmi standing on lotuses, lanterns, hand pumps, sickles with hammers and stars must be draped in clothes or plastics.

By draping the statue of an untouchable who is revered as Kanoon ki Devi Maha Mayawat Ji by the Sarva Samaj i.e., entire people, the EC has made provision for the people of UP to practice Unseeabilty.

We request the CEC to drape the other political parties symbols such as hand,bicycle,lantern,hand pump, sickle with hammer and star like this or to cancel the order for draping elephants and Kanoon ki Devi Maha Mayawati Ji which is an insult to the people of the Nation:

Slim victory margin behind Maya's sacking spree

RAMENDRA SINGH Posted: Jan 06, 2012 at 0305 hrs
Lucknow BSP chief Mayawati has sacked several of her ministers and
denied them and several MLAs the party ticket, claiming they failed to
discharge their duty or misused their official position. However,
records reveal that most of them had won by a small margin in 2007
and, according to a BSP leader, would not have been able to defy
anti-incumbency factor this time.

In the last few weeks, BSP has sacked and denied tickets to 10
ministers and several MLAs.

The ruling party denied ticket to Bijnor MLA Shahnawaz Rana who
recently joined RLD. During 2007 Assembly polls, Rana had fetched
61588 votes against 61031 votes of Kunvar Bhartendra of SP, winning
the seat by just 557 votes.

Shahjil Islam Ansari was sacked as minister and denied ticket. Ansari
was minister of Wakfs and represented Bhojipura constituency of
Bareilly. Ansari had fetched 39339 votes against 38209 of BJP's
Bahoran Lal Maurya, claiming a win by just 1130 votes.

Ayurveda minister Daddan Mishra who represented Shrawasti's Bhinga
seat was also denied the candidature and subsequently he resigned from
the minister's post and recently joined the BJP.

Daddan had fetched 28707 votes against 28616 of Congress's Mohammad
Aslam, winning by just 91 votes.

BSP also denied ticket to Sahaswan MLA DP Yadav who is now trying to
get into the SP fold. Yadav who had contested on the symbol of his
Rashtriya Parivartan Dal, had received 33883 votes against 33774 votes
of SP's Omkar Singh, winning by just 109 votes. Yadav had merged his
party with the BSP after elections.

Higher Education minister Rakesh Dhar Tripathi, who represents Handia
constituency of Allahabad district, after being denied ticket by the
BSP, is now trying to enter the BJP. Tripathi had scored 62151 votes
against 60809 votes of SP's Mahesh Narayan Singh, winning by a margin
of just 1,342 votes.

Technical Education minister Sadal Prasad, who was also sacked and
dropped from the list of candidates, represents Bansgaon constituency
of Gorakhpur. He had fetched 41586 votes against 39302 votes of BJP's
Sant Prasad, winning by just 2,284 votes.

Secondary Education minister Rangnath Mishra, who resigned after his
indictment by Lokayukta, was also dropped by the BSP from Aurai seat
of Sant Ravidas Nagar which he represents. Mishra had received 53759
votes against 51028 votes of Apna Dal's Rita Singh, and won the seat
with 2,731 votes.

Agriculture Education and Agriculture Research minister, Rajpal Tyagi
who was sacked from the cabinet on December 25, had received 37796 as
an independent candidate from Muradnagar against 34776 votes of BSP's
Wahab, winning by 3,020 votes.

"When these candidates could win with so small margin while there was
a strong anti-incumbency against SP government, they will definitely
will not be able to resist the anti-incumbency factor working against
themselves," said a BSP leader adding that other factors like
corruption charges and delimitation of constituencies have also played
a vital role in the denial of tickets.

[ZESTCaste] Two surrender over Dalit leader murder

http://ibnlive.in.com/generalnewsfeed/news/two-surrender-over-dalit-leader-murder/950050.html

Two surrender over Dalit leader murder
PTI | 11:01 PM,Jan 12,2012

Madurai, Jan 12 (PTI) Two men surrendered before a local court today
in nearby Tirunelveli district in connection with the recent murder of
Dalit leader Pasupathi Pandian. M Arumagachamy (26), and J
Arulanandhan (27), who belong to Idayathavanai and Mullakadu areas in
Tirunelveli and Tuticorin districts, surrendered before the Valliyoor
Magistrate Court in Tirunelveli district. Pandian (50), founder of
Devendra Kula Velalar Kootamaippu (Federation) was hacked to death on
Jan 10 when he was sitting outside his house at Nandanampatti near
Dindigul. Police said they had already detained 20 persons for
questioning in connection with the murder that led to many incidents
of violence in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu. Three special
teams had been formed to nab the culprits involved in the murder,
police said. The accused were remanded to seven days judicial custody
and lodged in Madurai central prison. Police said the murder could be
a fallout of group clashes between the Pandian group and the Subhash
Pannaiyar group, who both belong to the Tuticorin and Tirunelveli
belts. They said they suspected that the accused belong to the Subhash
Pannaiyar group. Meanwhile, normalcy returned to most parts of
southern districts today and bus services resumed after violence
marked the funeral procession of Pandian at Tuticorin yesterday.
Police said the processionists deviated from the route prescribed by
the police and indulged in damaging public and private property, such
as TNSTC buses, two wheelers and name boards of shops. S Murugan,
General Manager, TNSTC, Tirunelveli Region, said windshields of ten
buses had been damaged. Meanwhile, Pandian was buried at his native
village, Alangara Thattu in Tuticorin district, late last night. PTI

[ZESTCaste] We will offer seats to Dalit leaders: CM

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/We-will-offer-seats-to-Dalit-leaders-CM/articleshow/11469262.cms

We will offer seats to Dalit leaders: CM
Prafulla Marapakwar, TNN | Jan 13, 2012, 04.13AM IST

MUMBAI: A day after negotiations with the NCP for the crucial BMC
elections were tied up, embattled chief minister Prithviraj Chavan has
drafted a plan to woo Dalit leaders and voters.

"Initially it appeared to be a difficult task, but we pursued the NCP
to contest the BMC polls jointly. Since the Congress policy is to take
all sections of the society with the party, we are now interacting
with senior Dalit leaders. Though there is no commitment, we are sure
they will join us. If they agree, Congress will offer them seats from
its own quota,'' Chavan told TOI in an exclusive interview at his
official residence Varsha on Thursday.

Elaborating on the electoral understanding with the NCP, Chavan said
since all previous attempts to join hands with the NCP, particularly
in the 2002 and 2007 elections, had failed, it was assumed that an
agreement between the two parties may not be reached this time as
well. "I discussed the proposal for an alliance with all MPs and
legislators from Mumbai. When each and every one of them agreed, we
took it up with the NCP. With a common goal to dislodge the saffron
combine from the BMC, we decided to contest the polls jointly,''
Chavan said.

For the Congress, Chavan said gaining control over Mumbai and Thane
municipal corporations was of paramount importance. "All municipal
corporations are equally important for us, but securing BMC and TMC
will have a bigger political significance. We will be able to send a
message across the nation that we have dislodged communal forces."

On the sharing of seats, the CM admitted that there was a dispute, but
was confident of resolving it amicably. "I have been told that there
is a dispute over certain seats. The NCP has asked for exchange of
seats with the Congress. We will look into the matter, but it should
not be a cause of worry.''

Chavan said a joint manifesto and campaign programme have been
proposed for the BMC polls. "We feel that since we are contesting the
polls jointly, there should be a joint manifesto. Similarly, a massive
joint rally will be held to launch the campaign and also on the last
day of campaigning,'' he said.

Though Chavan did not rule out rebellion, he felt that it will not
have any adverse impact on the alliance. "Even if they win, we will
not require their assistance, since we will have big numbers."

The low-profile CM said if one takes a cursory glance at the outcome
of the 2002 and 2007 civic polls, he would conclude that owing to the
division of votes, the BMC was entrusted to the Shiv Sena. "We lost to
the saffron combine in 2002 and 2007 since we contested the polls
independently... We have learnt lessons from the past; we will not
make the same mistake again,'' Chavan said.

[ZESTCaste] Naveen seeks report on dalit rape case

http://ibnlive.in.com/generalnewsfeed/news/naveen-seeks-report-on-dalit-rape-case/949982.html

Naveen seeks report on dalit rape case
PTI | 09:01 PM,Jan 12,2012

Bhubaneswar, Jan 12 (PTI) Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today
sought a report on the alleged rape of a dalit girl in Puri district,
as the opposition parties demanded a CBI or judicial enquiry into the
incident besides seeking resignation of Agriculture Minister Pradeep
Maharathy. The chief minister's action came a day after Orissa High
Court directed to shift the girl from Capitol hospital to the SCB
Medical College Hospital in Cuttack with adequate security. "The chief
minister has asked the home department to submit a report on the
Pipili incident where a dalit girl is allegedly raped," Chief
Secretary B K Patnaik told reporters. Stating that the in-charge
officer of Pipili police station in Puri district had been trasnfered
and the case was handed over to the CID, the chief secretary said that
the state government had taken the incident seriously. The 19-year-old
dalit girl from Arjunagada village under Pipili police station was
allegedly raped by a group of youths from the locality on November 28,
2011 after she dared to become a witness in another rape case
involving her friend. The victim's friend had meanwhile committed
suicide, police said. Opposition Congress and BJP demanded demanded a
CBI or judicial probe into the incident while seeking resignation of
agriculture minister who was charged with protecting the four accused.
The minister rejected the charge and said "I have not given protection
to any one and never tried to put pressure on the police. I too demand
justice."
