[ZESTCaste] Mayawati plans `40cr ad blitz

Mayawati plans `40cr ad blitz
February 14th, 2011
MANISH ANAND , Age Correspondent

BSP supremo and UP chief minister Mayawati has planned an aggressive
media blitz in the run-up to next year's state Assembly elections,
with a budget of `40 crores having been earmarked this year for ad
films to propagate achievements of her government.
Amidst a flurry of negative news hitting the UP government in recent
time, Ms Mayawati is going to leave no stone unturned to reach out to
as many voters as possible for the next year's state elections.
"A report was submitted to the chief minister to go aggressive in
selling achievements of the Mayawati-led government through ad films.
The report called for making a large number of ad films to capture
achievements of the Mayawati-led administration to counter negative
propaganda of the Opposition parties. The report has been approved by
the chief minister," sources revealed.
Sources said that the total budget approved for broadcasting ad films
is `40 crores, which is much higher then a similar move in the run up
to the 2008 Lok Sabha elections.
A number of agencies which earlier worked for the incumbent
governments of Narendra Modi-led Gujarat, Sheila Dikshit-led Delhi and
Bhupinder Singh Hooda-led Haryana have been asked to submit their
concepts and proposals to the office of the UP chief minister soon.
The brief that the ad filmmakers have been given is that they can show
the visual of Ms Mayawati in the background, while showcasing success
stories of the individual government programmes as the theme, sources
revealed.
The ad films will especially take on the attack of the Opposition
parties on the law and order front, with comparative statistics on
crime during the earlier reign of Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh
Yadav as chief minister featuring in the campaign.
The ad filmmakers have reportedly been given full liberty to use their
creativity skills while making their ultra-short documentaries, which
would be broadcast on electronic news channels.

[ZESTCaste] SP to launch movement against Mayawati govt

SP to launch movement against Mayawati govt

MUZAFFARNAGAR: Ahead of the Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh next
year, Samajwadi Party today said it would launch a movement against
the Mayawati-led government from next month over various issues
allegedly resulting in deterioration of the state on many fronts.

"The SP would launch a movement against the BSP rule from March 1 to
raise the issue of corruption and the law and order situation,
especially rising crimes against women," SP national vice president
Rashid Masood said here.

Slamming the Mayawati government over the "deteriorating" law and
order situation, Masood said the common man was living under fear
while BSP was indulging in the rhetoric of providing fearless
atmosphere to the people.

"The BSP government is a failure on all fronts...the SP is gearing up
for the polls," he said.

Masood, who was union minister of state in the erstwhile V P Singh
government, accused the state police of acting as "agents" of the
ruling party.

Adding a gist to the grindmills of speculation, the former SP MP did
not rule out the possibility of a pre-poll tie-up with "secular"
parties, including Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) of Chaudhari Ajit Singh ,
for the 2012 Assembly elections.

[ZESTCaste] Dalit computer engineer ends life

Dalit computer engineer ends life
Yagnesh Mehta, TNN, Feb 13, 2011, 11.02pm IST

SURAT: Alleging mental torture and fear of being framed by his boss
for leaking data, a 28-year-old computer engineer committed suicide on
Saturday night in Adajan area. Vipul Baraiya, a Dalit software
developer in Innovera Computer, blamed his boss in his suicide note.

Baraiya was found hanging from a ceiling fan in his room at Darpan Row
House on Pal Road. He had locked himself in his room and had first
tried to slit his wrist. The police found a suicide note in his room
which said, "In anger, I sent a mail to a competitor firm but I have
not sent any data. I feel that (his senior) can do anything to take
revenge for an old issue." He further said that his personal computer
and friend's laptop were taken away by his senior and he feared that
they may install some data in it to frame him.

On Saturday, Baraiya was called to Umra police station around 11.30 am
for questioning following a complaint of data theft by Jignesh Shah,
manager in Innovera. "In his answer to police, Baraiya confessed that
he sent a mail to the competitor firm out of anger and to threaten his
current bosses. After noting down his reply, he was allowed to go,"
said A R Chaudhary, police inspector Umra.

In suicide note, Baraiya stated that, "Even after I confessed in Umra
police station, in writing, about sending the mail my senior is not
ready to believe."

Bharat, elder brother of Baraiya, said, "Vipul was sent to Philippines
for training by his US based main boss Mickey Shah. After that his
local senior was jealous about Vipul's progress following which he
used to harass him time and again. "Vipul resigned from the job a week
before as he got a new job in Pune. But his immediate boss was
accusing him of stealing data and selling it to a competitor." Bharat
also alleged that this senior used to make derogatory remarks Vipul's
caste. Baraiya's family members said he committed suicide for fear of
being framed. However, police have not registered their complaint.
"The case is still to be investigated," said P R Desai, police
inspector Adajan.
