Maya wants Ambedkar corridor

April 7th, 2010
DC Correspondent
UP Lucknow, April 6: Continuing her initiative to immortalise Dalit
icons, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Ms Mayawati now plans to
build an Ambedkar Corridor in the heart of the state capital.

The proposed Ambedkar Corridor that will extend from the Kalidas Marg
crossing to the Gandhi Setu will have shopping complexes, parks,
multiplexes and hotels.

The Haider Canal that flows through the land on which the corridor is
proposed, will be shifted further in to make way for the construction.

Though not a single official in the state government was ready to
confirm the project, a government official on condition of anonymity
said the land use would have to be changed as the area earmarked for
the corridor is presently defined as a green belt.

Besides, the existing office of the DGP, some private bungalows and a
portion of the government residential colony would also have to be
demolished to make way for the project.

"The CM is treading cautiously this time as she does not want legal
hurdles to come up in the way of this project," the official said.

Youth arrested for defacing Maya's hoarding

STAFF WRITER 14:30 HRS IST
Ghaziabad, Apr 6 (PTI) A youth was arrested for defacing a hoarding of
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati at the Collectorate campus here,
police said today.

Braham Pal Singh had painted the face of the chief minister black in
protest against alleged police inaction in a theft case, they said.

Singh, arrested yesterday, said during interrogation that he was angry
over delay in action by the police in the theft case which he had
registered recently.

District Magistrate R Ramesh Kumar said Singh was arrested on charges
of damaging government property and the act amounted to a "gross
disrespect" to the Chief Minister.

[ZESTCaste] Call to dissolve Mahadalit Commission as meeting with Buta turns unruly

http://bihartimes.com/Newsbihar/2010/April/Newsbihar06April6.html

Call to dissolve Mahadalit Commission as meeting with Buta turns unruly

Patna,(BiharTimes): The review meeting held on Monday under the
chairmanship of the National Commisson For Schedule Castes and
Schedule Tribes, Buta Singh, witnessed unruly scene after some of the
leaders questioned the constitutional validity of the setting up of
the Mahadalit Commission.

Former MLA, Om Prakash Paswan, even submitted a memorandum to the
chairman of the National Commisson For Schedule Castes and Schedule
Tribes demanding the dissolution of the Mahadalit Commission.

Another leader, Suresh Paswan, also raised the issue of the
constitution of the Mahadalit Commission. The ruling party leaders
present on the occasion strongly objected to this demand.

The memorandum submitted by Om Prakash Paswan also sought action
against the speaker of Bihar assembly, Uday Narayan Chaudhary, welfare
minister, Jitan Ram Manjhi, former minister, Shyam Rajak and
Vishwanath Rishidev on charges of dividing Dalit castes.

The memorandum accused the principal secretary, welfare department, K
P Ramaiah of participating in the Janata Dal United meetings but
denying scholarships, hostels, and appointment as 'Vikas Mitra' to
Paswan community.

He also alleged that Ramaiah refused to provide information when asked
as to under which Article of the Constitution was Mahadalit Commission
set up.

The services of Ramaiah should be reverted back to Centre the
memorandum said demanding action as per rules against him.

He also complained that 14 per cent Schedule Castes and 10 per cent
Schedule Tribes had been sent to Bihar Vidhan Parishad and Rajya Sabha
from independence to the advent of the Nitish Kumar government. But in
the last four years not a single Dalit or tribal has been sent to the
Upper Houses of Bihar and India when more than 40 got elected.

Paswan said that if the Commission failed to give him justice he would
seek it from the court. He said that there was a great conspiracy to
deny reservation to Dalits.

A copy of the memorandum was also sent to the home minister, P Chidambaram.

[ZESTCaste] Tributes paid to veteran leader Jagajivan Ram

Tributes paid to veteran leader Jagajivan Ram

TNN, Apr 5, 2010, 09.58pm IST

DHARWAD: Rich tributes were paid to former deputy Prime Minister Babu
Jagajivan Ram on his 103rd birth anniversary here on Monday. At a
function organized jointly by the district administration, zilla
panchayat and the department of social welfare at Kala Bhavan, the
speakers recalled the untiring efforts of Jagajivan Ram to help the
downtrodden.

Legislative council chairman Veeranna Mattikatti described Jagajivan
Ram as a visionary who realized that educating the dalits was a major
tool in making them economically and socially self-reliant. He said
dalits should follow in the footsteps of Jagajivan Ram and come up in
life while judiciously using the facilities being offered by the
government.

MLA Veerabhadrappa Halaharavi said dalits should be united in fighting
for their legitimate rights but mind their duties at the same time. He
said Jagjivan Ram's life was worth emulating as, being from a
downtrodden background, he had risen to heights in Indian politics and
held important positions for almost 25 years.

ZP president Savitri Bhagavati, prof L Hanumantahiah, Nijalingappa
Mattihal, MLA Chandrakant Bellad and Nishkal Mantap head
Nijagunandaswami hailed the contributions of Jagajivan Ram for the
welfare of the working class.

S A Mulla welcomed. Vani Kulkarni compered. Prahlad Gejji proposed a
vote of thanks. Earlier, MLA Seema Masuti inaugurated a procession of
Jagajivan Ram's portrait at the DC's office.

DC Darpan Jain, deputy mayor Bharati Patil, former minister
Hanumanthappa Alkod and others were present.
