Ambedkar criticises Cong-NCP for delaying decision on alliance
PTI | 07:01 PM,Jan 15,2012

Mumbai, Jan 15 (PTI) Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh leader Prakash Ambedkar
today criticised the Congress-NCP coalition for delaying decision on
alliance with his party for the upcoming Zilla Parishad and municipal
corporation polls in Maharashtra. Talking to reporters after meeting
NCP president Madhukar Pichad, Ambedkar said Cong-NCP had authorised
their local district leadership to take decisions on alliances. "This
is time consuming and delaying tactic. We will fight alone for the
Akola Municipal Corporation and the Zilla Parishad. While in Nanded,
we have tied up with local outfits," he said. Ambedkar said if
decision was not taken soon on the alliance, his party would contest
alone elsewhere as well. PTI MR

[ZESTCaste] Stir planned for setting up Ambedkar memorial in Delhi

 

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/Stir-planned-for-setting-up-Ambedkar-memorial-in-Delhi/articleshow/11504496.cms

Stir planned for setting up Ambedkar memorial in Delhi
TNN | Jan 16, 2012, 02.01AM IST

GONDIA: Dalit Mahapanchayat will launch a nationwide campaign to press
for five major demands, including a national memorial of Babasaheb
Ambedkar at his residence in New Delhi and separate constituencies for
backward and tribal communities. This announcement was made by Indresh
Gajbhiye, president of National Dalit Mahapanchayat, New Delhi.

Gajbhiye is also chairman of Dr Ambedkar Sanman Samiti, New Delhi and
Finance Corporation of Madhya Pradesh government. Gajbhiye said that
if Mahatma Gandhi is addressed as father of the nation, Ambedkar
should be given the honour of calling as father of the Indian
Constitution. He was critical of foreign dignitaries visiting
memorials of Gandhi and Nehru families only.

Gajbhiye said that most of Ambedkar's literary activities, including
writing Indian Constitution and on religion were done at 26, Alipur
Road, New Delhi residence and there cannot be any better avenue than
this for the national memorial. He recalled that this building
belonging to the Jindals was purchased by NDA government in 2003 at a
cost of Rs 16 crore. The then prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee had
declared it as a national memorial with a provision of Rs 100 crore
for its development and beautification. But NDA lost power in the next
general elections and successive governments ignored the issue.

Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh had in a meeting on November 29 last
year accepted the demand in principle and a committee of various
ministers was appointed to decide further course of action within
three months. The wait is on, he said.

If this deadline is not met, these committees will launch a nationwide
campaign, he said.

About separate constituencies for backward communities, Gajbhiye said
that although there are reserved constituencies for this class, since
the voters of the developed class are in majority, the representatives
from these constituencies can ill-afford to work against the interest
of these communities. He pleaded for separate constituencies for
backward communities. The other three demands also related to the
memorial issue.

Re: [ZESTCaste] On 56th birthday, Mayawati keeps it low-key; slams poll panel for draping of statues

 


15 01 2012 LESSON 495 Fruitful words-Sarvajan Samaj i.e.,The Entire People of This Nation and supporters all over the World Wishes to give an advance gift by making Kanoon ki Devi Ms Maha Mayawati JI once again the Next Chief Minister for the 5th time and the Next Prime Minister of PraBuddha Bharath on her Happy Birthday occasion on 15-01-2012.

The Buddha's Advice to Laypeople

Fruitful words

Like a beautiful flower,
Brightly colored but lacking scent,
So are well-spoken words
Fruitless when not carried out.

Like a beautiful flower,
Brightly colored and with scent,
So are well-spoken words
Fruitful when carried out.
Dhammapada v 51-52, translated by Gil Fronsdal

There are several meanings in these verses: sincere vs. insincere words; pleasing but empty words; promises kept and ignored.

This being a political season both in India,America and Australia, there are a lot of words unconnected to deeds flying around. This disconnect may be why so many of us think of politics as a stinky business. When a politician says something true (for example, "that's not in my power to promise"), it's like a breath of fresh air.

For us, only our own words can be made fruitful. There are two parts to the equation: being careful in what we say and doing everything we can to follow through on our words. The most important element here is simply truthfulness. If we hold back from saying "I have compassion for you" when we don't, a world of hurt can be avoided. If we say and mean "I have compassion for you", then it's perfectly natural to perform the actions that fulfill the words.

If we say "I'll be there" and mean "I'll try to be there, if nothing else comes up", then our words are not only empty but misleading.

The most important thing we can do is think before we speak, and take our own words and their effects seriously. If we don't, surely no one else will. To me, care with speech is based on a real understanding that what we do (to ourselves and others) matters at the most fundamental level. When we are careless with the truth, a hurt comes into the world that cannot be undone.

This is why our words - beautiful and colorful - are only sweet-smelling and fruitful if they reflect our true and wholesome intentions.

Sarvajan Samaj i.e.,The Entire People of This Nation and supporters all over the World Wishes to give an advance gift by making Kanoon ki Devi Ms Maha Mayawati JI once again the Next Chief Minister for the 5th time and the Next Prime Minister of PraBuddha Bharath on her Happy Birthday occasion on 15-01-2012.

Mayawati today  alleged that the poll panel's order was "one-sided" and "anti-Scheduled Castes". "The Election Commission made a one-sided decision to cover statues of elephants and those of mine installed to honour the will of Kanshiram, without hearing my party."

"Centre and Opposition are insulting Kanshiram; SC/STs will not forgive them", she said.

She also cited the example of a park in Chandigarh erected by the Congress that carries a 45-feet-high hand - the party's symbol. Calling upon the poll panel to cover such structures of the Congress in other states, she said, "If the CEC is not just, BSP will call it anti-SC/ST, under Congress pressure."

Putting up a brave face, she also said that the statue-screening incident had saved the party crores by giving it huge publicity. "CEC, other parties have publicised BSP for free, I thank them."

 Mayawati will truly win in the upcoming elections next month. A wish she has already expressed to the electorate, something she reiterated again today- UP as her birthday gift. Victory in the polls would truly be a sweet surprise, a fitting belated birthday gift.

The BSP will encash the Election Commission's directives on draping the statues of Ms. Mayawati and party symbol elephant. Party 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, the EC has made provision for the people of UP to practice Unseeabilty.

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.Statue of elephant covered up in Ambedkar Park in Noida (10/01/12)

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?

Limca Book of Records 2006
India at her Best (Pape.208)

She has created a record by completing full five years term as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh in her 4th time since 2077. After her 5th term from 06-03-2012 BSP will be the permanent Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and Kanoon ji Devi Ms Maha Mayawati will becomew the next Prime Minister of PraBuddha Bharath.

Hon'ble Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh

Ms. Mayawati Ji

Led Government's four-year term

has been very

promising

And the best in the


sphere of

"Law & Order and


Crime Control"

Besides

"Development and Public


Welfare"

Important and Historic Steps pertaining to Development and Public Welfare

·        Hon'ble Ms. Mayawati Ji-led government formed on 13 May, 2007 in Uttar

Pradesh, after its four-year term, has kindled a new ray of "bright" future

Among the general public in the State, especially the SC/STs,


backwards,

religious minorities and upper-caste poor in respect of law and


order and

crime control together with development and public welfare


activities.

·        


This very government, by pursuing the path shown by great saints, gurus

and seers born in backward classes, especially 

Mahtma Jotiba Phule, Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj, Shri Narayana Guru, Baba Saheb

Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and Manyawar Shri Kanshiram Ji in development

and public welfare activities with government following the
policy of "Sarvajan Hitay – Sarvajan Sukhay".

law And order, crime control, development and public welfare
activities.

·        
In the last four years, the central government did not release on time its

Share payable to the state totalling Rs. 21,385 crore. If this amount had

Been paid by the centre in time, achievements of the state
government Could have been far far better.

the state,

money Was received from the central government at all.

·        Thereafter, under government's new development strategy several Major projects /schemes on the PPP-model, like the Ganga Express-way, Yamuna Express-way and Upper Ganga canal were prepared to spur Development in the state in which no central investments were
involved Except a departmental 'no objection ' from them; the centre, however, did Not cooperate even in this matter.

February, 2011 to 2nd

surprise inspections to take stock of law and order situation and creime
control in all the 72 districts, together with development and public welfare
activities, with strict action taken against authorities, if anything wanting
was detected. Necessary directions and guidance for improvement were also
given.

In a nutshell, the four years of the Uttar Pradesh Chief
Minister Hon'ble Ms Mayawati Ji led government has been
 " highly promising and the best" in the area of "development and public welfare".

Every policy of Uttar Pradesh
Govt. is based on
 'Sarvajan
Hitay – Sarvajan Sukhay'

Important and Historic Initiative for Law
& Order and Crime Control

1.    Since the formation of the present
government in Uttar Pradesh, on 13 May, 2007 till date, an Unprecedented
environment of "peace and order and communal harmony, free from injustice,
crime and fear" has been created by giving "top priority" to "law-order and
crime control" for which several important decisions had to be taken with iron
resolve at the different levels e.g:

2.    Rigorous and effective action taken
against more than 1 lakh known notorious criminals/Mafiosi.

3.    1.707 notorious criminals detained under
the most stringent "National Security Act (NSA)".

4.    Strict action taken under th "Gangster
Act" against about 40,000 professional offenders.

5.    A total of 8.013 notorious delequents,
carrying reward on their heads, were arrested, including those "carrying on the
head a reward" upto Rs.5 lakh.

6.    Another 374 notorious criminals carrying
reward, between Rs.50,000 – Rs. 5,00,000 were "killed" by the police in self
defence.

7.    Also, thousands of anti-social elements/goondas
and white-collar criminals were sent to their right place i.e. behind the bars
in the "jail".

8.    For the first in the state, action was
also taken against " influencial people and those occupying high positions"
found guilty of breaching the law, establishing the motto "all wequal before
the law" under which several ministers, ex-ministers, MPs and legislators were
proceeded against leagally with due strictness.

9.    "Historic action" continues, without let
or hinderance, against arrant criminals and Mafiosi to "confisticat their
ill-gotten wealth" in order to break the economic backbone. Property worth more
than Rs. 443 crore forfeited so far.

10.  Elimination of fierce dacoits – synonymous
of terror, Rs. 5 lakh rewardee bandit chief Shivakumar alias Dadua, Ambika
Patel i.e. Thokia, Mussafir Yadav, carrying a reward of Rs.2lakh from Bihar
atate and Santosh alias Kittu Gupta with a reward of Rs. 1.5 lakh besides,
several other offenders carrying rewards between Rs. 1 lakh and Rs. 50,000 were
killed by police in encounters inself-defence.

11.  In the terrorist attack on CRPF group
centre at Rampur by 4 terrorists of HUJI – Harqat UI Jehad Al Islami as wellas
an active member of Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) together with ISI agents
were also apprehended.

12.  Noor Baksh, a shooter belonging to the
gang of international criminal, Dawood Ibrahim was shot daed while trying to
escape from police custody.

13.  To secure justice to prosecuted people
under the previous government, 10,000 cases filed through a "special campaign"
and action taken against 31,136 persons. "Legal" action also initiated against
those trying to register "fake" reports.

14.  The area of 'jungle raj', goonda tax,
'mafia rule' and 'anarchy' inherited in legacy, ends, entirely due to the
"missionary and struggling" efforts of Hon'ble Chief Ninister Ms. Mayawati JI.
People, coming out of the suffocating "jungle raj", breathing in, today, the
wiff of fresh air of the "rule of law by law".

15.  The result of such strict action was that
an environment of " communal harmony" continued to exist and no untoward
incident occurred in the whole of the state, in light of the court decision on
the very sensitive Ram Janmbhoomi/Babri Masjid "case". The peaceful conditions
prevailed in Uttar Pradesh, there was calm and quiet in other states of the
country as well.

16.  So also Common Wealth Games 2010,
three-tier panchayat elections, Mahakumbh fair, Haridwar-2010, Allahabad Magh
Mela-2011 passed off peacefully. Lok Sabha-2009 general elections were also
conducted without violence, with peace and impartiality.

17.  In order to ensure "justice" to the
general public and create "trust" towards the law and order system in them,
strict instructions issued to record the First Information Report (FIR) in the
thanas from victimized persons without the slightest difficulties.

18.  Instructions to all district, division and
tehsil level authorities to be available to the people, as a must in their
offices from 10 to 12 in thye morning.

19.  Observance of "thana divwas" on every 1st
and 3rd
 Saturdsy of the month with the object of taking effective
action against victimization of poor people of the sarv-samaj.

20.  As a result of these special efforts made
by the government, remarkable "decline" in the rate of all kinds of crime
against "SC/ST" in the state. Eqally notable has been the percentage of
disposal of crime enquiries which stands at 92.

21.  Appointment of a special public
prosecutor" for prosecution of cases under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities
Act.

22.  "Considerable reduction" in incidence of
all crimes against "women" in the state.

23.  The percentage of action was 94.1, last
year against those accused of crime against "women" and 91.9 of cases disposed
of, which is a "record" in itself. Consequently, the rate of crime against
women in Uttar Pradesh is much less than even the national average.

24.  The effort to secure "justice" in every
matter and at every level
  to every
segment of the society and the sarv-samaj, the poor people, farmers, labourers,
businessmen, lawyers, service-class and non-service-class people as also students
in accordance with the policy of "Sarvajan Hitay Sarvajan Sukhay".

25.  Together with the arrest of more than two
dozen hard core naxalites, a strategy of
 
"tatal development (samagra vikas)" in identified areas adopted in order
to deal with the "naxal" problem so that a feeling of trust towards the
administration in kindled in the public psyche in the affected areas and they
do not go astray. Efforts to provide the various basic amenities under Dr.
Ambedkar gram sabha yojns to the 423 naxal affected villages.

26.  Many important and historic decisions
taken to establish "rule of the law by law" in the state
  in order to "modernize and strengthen to make
the police administration alert and vigilant".

27.  More than double the increase in police
budget with about Rs. 7,740 crore sanctioned. For the first time in Uttar
Pradesh a service manual for different sections of the police force
promulgated.

28.  Formation of "Uttar Pradesh Police
Recruitment Board" for transparency in view of complaints of corruption in
police recruitment.

29.  In a "historic" decision about 2.04 lakh
new posts for policemen created, in one stroke. Already 35,000 constables
selected in a transparent procedure – a step which has been praised at the
national also.

30.  Constitution of two new zones Viz.
"Poorvanchal and western Uttar Pradesh" to further strengthen the "Special Task
Force (STF)".

31.  "National Capital Police Zone" formed for
effective control over law and order and crime control in western Uttar
Pradesh.

32.  Establishment of "women police stations
(mahila Thana)" in all districts together with "mahila helpline", "family
planning Centre" and "mahila sahayta prakoshtha" at the state level.

33.  "Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS)" set up in
November, 2007 itself.

34.  "SIT" constituted to investigate serious
economic offences.

35.  For proper security and up keep of the
newly constructed sites/memorials

highlighting its achievements during the last four years.

Hon'ble Chief minisre Ms. Mayawati Ji herself made surprise inspections of
"Law-order and crime control:, for one full month i.e. from 1 February – 2
March, 2011, visiting police stations in all the 72 districts in the state,

On 56th birthday, Mayawati keeps it low-key; slams poll panel for
draping of statues

Anant R. Zanane, Updated: January 15, 2012 14:11 IST

Lucknow: In the midst of the heat of the electoral campaign, Uttar
Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati is
celebrating her birthday today. She has turned 56. But unlike the
usual spectacle that marks the Dalit czarina's birthday in the state,
celebrations this time around were low-key, courtesy the Election
Commission (EC) which seems to have played party-pooper of sorts.

Hence, the ubiquitous sight of Mayawati dressed in her trademark pink
salwar-kameez was there. But there was none of the leader, flanked by
her partymen and bureaucrats, cutting a massive cake. Instead, Behenji
released a book of her memoirs, aptly called the "Blue Book" - in sync
with all things blue that symbolises her party. She also announced
that her birthday would be a small affair, involving her family only,
acceding to the limitations set out by the poll panel.

The modest celebration was there for all to see. The state capital,
Lucknow, which in the past has been awash with blue to usher in her
birth anniversary, bears a barren look.

In the poll season, the Election Commission has ensured that the
extravaganza, that has marked Behenji's birthday in the last four
years and has been much-criticised, has been done away with.

"We will be watching the expenses," said Umesh Sinha, Chief Electoral
Officer of Uttar Pradesh.

The birthday dampener has been preceded by the Election Commission's
order earlier this month asking for draping of the statues of the
Chief Minister as also her party's symbol, the elephant, across the
state. The controversial directive was put forth as a move to ensure a
level-playing field to all political parties ahead of the assembly
elections.

But Mayawati today cried foul, alleging that the poll panel's order
was "one-sided" and "anti-Dalit". "The Election Commission made a
one-sided decision to cover statues of elephants and those of mine
installed to honour the will of Kanshiram, without hearing my party."
With elections round the corner, the Dalit agenda clearly dominated
her speech at the party headquarters. "Centre and Opposition are
insulting Kanshiram; Dalits will not forgive them", she said.

She also cited the example of a park in Chandigarh erected by the
Congress that carries a 45-feet-high hand - the party's symbol.
Calling upon the poll panel to cover such structures of the Congress
in other states, she said, "If the CEC is not just, BSP will call it
anti-Dalit, under Congress pressure."

Putting up a brave face, she also said that the statue-screening
incident had saved the party crores by giving it huge publicity. "CEC,
other parties have publicised BSP for free, I thank them."

With little to cheer about on her birthday, Mayawati would be truly
hoping for a win in the upcoming elections next month. A wish she has
already expressed to the electorate, something she reiterated again
today- UP as her birthday gift.

With corruption, incumbency and a resurgent opposition seriously
threatening her chances, victory in the polls would truly be a sweet
surprise, a fitting belated birthday gift.
