AAM AADMI should have upper hand

The election has clear cut message that the so called AAM AADMI is step ahead in thinking about the inclusive development.

Now the power given to the parties are huge, some they might ride the masses to the darkness during their feast of power, however, public is now queue up to read them properly. The election was a lesson for all the party, especially Left which has tried to be right and the BJP, for the congress too, which has left out from the UP in the last decade.

There is a specific intuition that this election has yielded, only the fools can ignore it. The class of people who were neglected and marginalized by all means in the society, they wield great power. They are not looking for lessons; rather they are there to assert the things.

Indian corporate seems to have forgotten that Dr. Manmohan Singh has to look in to whole country, not mere business houses that are bee making money even during recession. Most of the news papers are filled with instructions for Finance Minister, thinking that UPA is now free from the shackles of Left front. But Indian corporate should know that the left was drowned not because it stalled the triumphant march of capitalism, but it has leached the leftist impulse out of itself. The BJP learnt this in 2004, if Congress also repeats the same formula, no amount of Gandhi family magic or revival of party will keep it in the power in the next election.

Whole corporate world is crying about their losses that occurred during recent economic slowdown, which has marginally taken Indian economy to its fold. Will they have same voice, if they were asked to spell out the real profits that they have made during good days? Thus, its time to realize that AAM AADMI has awakened; many people’s movements have stalled number of giant corporate projects across India and the SEZ act. Political parties seems to have learnt the lesson, are the corporate? If not, then this is the time learn that AAM AADMI is always ahead on the carve of knowing what is good for India.

Now, educated middle class just don’t want a share in the spoils, but they want to debate the nature of development. The common man has already started to have comment on every thing, if the ruling government don’t tune I, and prepare budget for all—then there will be a another surprise in coming assembly elections and same could repeat in the next general elections.

BANGALORE: Twelve years after the Framework Agreement (FWA) between the Government of Karnataka and the Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise (NICE) to implement the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Project (BMICP) was signed, startling information on the acquisition of excess land for the project has come into the public domain, thanks to the Right to Information Act.It is now established that over these years, the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) acquired excess land of nearly 7,000 acres for the controversial project in violation of the FWA.The documents, obtained by many individuals and activists under the RTI Act, and in the possession of Express, disclose that the KIADB, as early as 1998-1999, notified 21,000 acres of private land as against the sanctioned area of 13,237 acres in FWA.These docume nts have been compiled into a book titled “White Paper on BMICP fraud” published by the Dalit Sangharsha Samiti The KIADB, in 1999, notified 5,688 acres of government land to be given to the project as against the sanctioned area of 6,956 acres in the FWA. In all, the KIADB agreed to give 26,688 acres of land to NICE instead of 20,193 acres as agreed in the FWA.Section A comprises 41 km of peripheral road, 9.8 km of link road and 13 km of expressway from Bangalore to Bidadi.The documents also point out that KIADB notified 5,675 acres for peripheral road portion alone as against 2,193 acres required in FWA.For the link road, the KIADB has notified 563 acres of land as against 278 acres required in the FWA. For the expressway, KIADB notified 6,348 acres against the requirement of 4,568 acres of land.The NICE spokesperson said, “The expert panel formed to study this issue has given clear guidance. We are following the same. All allegations are baseless.The matter is still in the court and we will adhere to the court orders given earlier.” Clause misused All these years, officials have buried these violations under the confidentiality clause in the FWA. The clause says, “Each party shall hold in strict confidence all confidential information received by it from the other party. The party receiving such confidential information shall not publish or otherwise disclose or use the confidential information for its own purposes.” Thanks to RTI activists and farmers, the issue came out in the open. Acting on this, the government on July 17, 2008, wrote to the chief executive officer of KIADB seeking explanation about the basis on which these lands were notified and in some cases, given to NICE.In Section A alone, KIADB has notified 12,586 acres of land instead of 6,999 acres sanctioned. The then special DC had said that KIADB had admitted that land acquisition notifications were issued based on requirement indicated by promoter company and not on the basis of any technical drawings approved by the government or PWD or the FWA.

BJP discovers ‘neighbourly’ Pak

For a change, the BJP is not calling for war against Pakistan after the Mumbai attacks and has instead asked the government to bring international pressure on the neighbour.

The reason could be the general election that is only months away, sources said.

A statement issued after the BJP’s core committee meeting here tonight was shorn of pet phrases such as “hot pursuit” and did not sound like the party at all.

It condemned Pakistan for using terror as an instrument of state policy but didn’t call for military action, not even air strikes to destroy militant training camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

The BJP requested Pakistan to abandon the “perilous road” of confrontation and “observe at least an elementary code of neighbourly conduct”. The statement said: “To Pakistan, we say: Do not please violate the commitment of January 6, 2004, also of all the UN resolutions and international opinions on terrorism.”

The polite appeal came from a party that has in the past threatened to teach Pakistan a lesson at the slightest provocation. Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had talked of “aar-paar ki larai” and sent troops to the border. “Hot pursuit” has for years been the favourite phrase of L.K. Advani, who hopes to become Prime Minister in 2009.

BJP leaders Jaswant Singh and Arun Shourie today justified the restraint, saying military options could not be talked about in news conferences. They said the “nationalist” BJP would stand by the government if it took “stern steps to ensure that Pakistan desists from jihadi terrorism.”

But at a time the national mood is jingoistic, the BJP’s caution is surprising. While there is a view that the six-year stint in government has made the party more responsible, another explanation is that the party is afraid any military action will hurt it in the election.

The party believes in this atmosphere of public anger, a military strike on terror camps would only benefit the ruling Congress.

With the general election due in months, this is not something the BJP would want.

That the party has polls on its mind was given away by this paragraph in the resolution: “The BJP believes that the ultimate solution only lies with the people: they must ensure that power rests in the hands of persons who will always place the interests of our country above all else, who will never barter them for electoral gains.”

BJP president Rajnath Singh, who often sounds more strident than his party on every issue, also spoke of the need to bring international pressure on Pakistan.
