Complaint against criminal conspiracy going on in Supreme Court
under influence to abet me to commit suicide, to protect interests
of Mafiadom and its supporting Powerful Advocates, in serious
violation of the Fundamental Rights to Remedy.

Hon'ble Lordships,


I am severe victim of the powerful mafiadom, having nexus with the
several Powerful Politician in India including Shri Jyoti Basu, who
with the help of such politicians, using muscle and money powers,
and through embracement of Judicial Officer and some Powerful
Advocates caused such a situation under which my all fundamental
rights including Rights to Remedy become infractuous, which I have
referred in detail in Writ Petition filed on 29th October 2003 under
filing Diary No. 22474 of 2003. Matters relates to my suffering were
examined by Vohra Committee, headed by the then Union Home Secretary
Mr. N. N. Vohra for its Report, in respect of Criminalisation of the
Politics. Said Mafiadom is so powerful, influential, and competent
to effect Administration of Justice even some extent up to the level
of the Supreme Court.


The Constitutional Bench headed by as he then was Hon'ble Chief
Justice of India Mr. S. P. Bharucha by Judgment Dated 20th April
2002 shown courage to admit that mockery of justice under
miscarriage of justice, and / or abuse of judicial proceedings,
and / or orders without jurisdictions or under bias, in to some
extent is going on in the Supreme Court. To remove such situation
new platform of curative Writ Petitions were created. However,
conditions laid down by the said Judgment, for filing of Curative
Writ Petitions by the Petitioner-in-person like me (having suffered
from the embracement of Judicial Officers and Powerful Advocates,
committed criminal misconduct violating their respective duties for
the monetary gains and benefits of the said Mafiadom), inconsistent
with the provisions of Part III of the Constitution, due to impact
of the principle of finality of the Supreme Court Orders. In fact
the principle of finality of the Supreme Court Orders in respect of
the orders passed under the provisions of Part III of the
Constitution was held and made applicable, without considerations,
as the same were never placed before Hon'ble Supreme Court, of the
important substantial question of law relating to clear concept of
Virtual Two Supreme Courts, as defined in a separate sheet.


From the entire Constitution mockery of justice under miscarriage of
justice cannot be justified. Rather Supreme Court has been assigned
very important independent, separate and untrammeled responsibility
of the guardian, guarantor and watchdog armed with unchallenged,
untrammeled, with unrestricted Supreme Powers over all other
authorities (including Parliament) to protect Indian democracy by
protecting the Fundamental Rights of the Individuals, contrary to
which reversed impacts from such responsibility, in any manner
whatsoever, cannot be justified, while in my matters it appears. In
fact mockery of justice under miscarriage of justice could be
possible in violation of the oath taken under Constitution for it's
upholding.


After the said Judgment, on 4th September 2002 I filed Writ Petition
under filing Diary No. 17454 of 2002. When I presented my said Writ
Petition before the then Assistant Registrar, of Section 1-B, of the
Supreme Court, who after going through the entire Petition, appeared
to be intended to get refused the said Writ Petition from its
Registration, to pleased some one named in the said Writ Petition.
As such by Letter dated 22nd October 2002, Supreme Court Registry
informed me that my said Writ Petition is refused to register as a
Writ Petition. Such conduct of the respective Officer of the Supreme
Court Registry was in serious violation of Rule 7 and 8 of the Part
IV Order XXXV of the Supreme Court Rules, 1966, which specifically
meant for the Application for the Enforcement of Fundamental Rights.
Thereafter, I lodged formal complaint before the Registrar-General
of Supreme Court. In the Complaint I referred wrong name of the said
Assistant Registrar, under wrong report about his name.


However, after, a long correspondence, on 29th October 2003 I filed
fresh Writ Petition. Between 4th September 2002 and 29th October
2003 situation in Section 1-B was changed. Under new situation, Writ
Petition by the Petitioners-in-person should have been presented
before Joint Registrar as against Assistant Registrar. But within
the same period said Assistant Registrar of Section 1-B, was also
promoted as Joint Registrar. When I presented my said Writ Petition
before Joint Registrar, Section 1-B, he just seen my name from the
Writ Petition and apparently not objected about anything from the
Writ Petition. But, possibly back of me he instructed to scrutiny
officers to cause harassments by withholding my Writ Petition by any
means from listing for hearing or registration as Writ Petition. As
such on 10th October 2003 when I met with the concerned Scrutiny
Officer of section 1-B, to know about the status of my Writ
petition, I was asked to submit a letter whether my Writ Petition is
Civil or Criminal in nature, which I submitted by, letter dated 10th
October 2003.


Thereafter, matter was sent, by Section 1-B to Section X, where it
was came to my notice that a long list of alleged errors of total
item Nos. 22 were referred in my matter. In which one issue was
referred that V.I. P.'s were made Party Respondents. I was asked for
each such Respondent to deposit Court Fee of Rs.10/-. When I asked
to Assistant Registrar of Section X to name the V. I. P., Party
Respondents? Then Assistant Registrar of Section-X, returned the
file to Section 1-B, where the said alleged error was corrected by
directing me just to deposit deficit stamp of Rs.10/- as shortage of
Process fee.


However, most of the alleged errors were not possible to be
corrected by the Petitioners in person. However, I corrected them
using scanning machine, paying heavy cost for the same. However, one
such alleged error already replied by me by Letter dated 10th
October 2003. Out of 22 errors I corrected mostly as far as possible
for me, and referred the reasons for not correction for the rest by
Letter dated 15th December 2003. For instance under Item No. 22, I
was directed to Change the Writ Petition as PIL, which I replied
that "Since the Writ Petition is with regards to infringement of my
personal fundamental rights as such I cannot add the word PIL".


After 15th December 2003, I was expecting that matter, may come up
for preliminary hearing at any time thereafter. When I enquired from
Section X, I was informed that file was sent back to Section 1-B for
the final examinations of the correction made by me. As per my
knowledge, thereafter file never come back to Section-X where it was
withhold for the reasons best known to said Joint Registrar of
Section 1-B. However, on 23rd February 2004 I sent a Press Statement
to about 500 Newspapers, TVChannels, Media person from India and
abroad, posted the same at the various Boards of discussions E-
groups. Possibly under the impact of the same and after withholding
the matter for more than four months in the garb of "Under Scrutiny"
letter No. D. No. 5610/2003/X dated 19th April 2004 was sent by
Section-X which was delivered me on 24th April 2004, directing me
thereby "that the prayers, which have already disposed of / decided
by this Hon'ble Court are required to be deleted" and "You are
therefore, requested to amend the Writ Petition accordingly within a
week from receipt of this letter failing which action contemplated
under the rule will be initiated", from which criminal conspiracy to
get refused or rejected my said Writ Petition, is appearing.


Since, I have raised very important substantial question of Law
related to concept of Virtual two Supreme Courts, which earlier
never been placed before Supreme Court, and as such any prayer with
reference to that context cannot be considered as already disposed
of / decided by this Hon'ble Court, till such important substantial
question of Law related to concept of Virtual two Supreme Court is
not examined and decided by the Larger Constitutional Bench of
Hon'ble Supreme Court. However, to remove confusion from the
language of the prayers I have amended the Prayer portion of the
Writ Petition.


Therefore, this is my humble prayer that enquiry should be ordered
in the matter for the sanctity and efficacy of the Supreme Court, as
it's not the Court of the Money Powers, rather of the Common man, to
uphold the Constitutional values and Core Principles of the
Jurisprudence, which at present are at a serious threats, for
various reasons.

||Om Sai Sri Kalki||
Namaskar Concerned People,

Dear NCP members I have a serious as well very much concerned about
the prospectus of young entrepreneurs not being supported by Bank
and Financial Institutions!!!

The main reason given is lack of collateral security and Initial
Capital?

I do not understand when a person needs to start his/her own
business venture from where the hell he should bring the capital,
either he has to beg borrow or steal !!!

So who is to be blamed for rise in crime ? People or the GoV

Intellectuals, Business Class and So Called politicians and so
called SOCIAL WORKERS should now stop talking about EMPLOYMENT and
should really start working over it ….

People who are capable of funding should help Young Entrepreneurs in
every possible manner and should support them instead of just giving
a ray of hope !!!

GoV could play a very vital role in improving the current situation
by extending support not only to Young Entrepreneurs but by also
getting the Tax Exempted / subsidized to those people who monetarily
help Young Indians to become well versed Entrepreneurs in there own
way !!!

This is just my concept  and I think that more intellectual people
on this Yahoo Forum will give a thought on it and  we all can make a
difference….

Its masses who have charge up and set the right things in the right
manner

Regards

God Bless Us

Bk

Dr Rafiq Zakaria , who is seen as a pragmatic Muslim intellectual.
and there is two mind that he must go to Upper house,

  Mr. Husain Dalwai or any Muslim I think so has to fight and go to
upper house because on the name of Muslim Minority, the two party
NCP and Congress always has some people in eyes, and give them birth
to Rajjya Sabha or Vidhan Sabha this practice they must stop for
some time
Then see the many new Muslims will be shining, in this political
party and Muslims want new leadership then the present leadership in
Maharashtra

Today Muslims are fearing to entering in this two party and reason
Samjwadi Party has grown to large, because they are always Bandhwa
Majdoor for the so called leaders, they are always throw out even
they are very intellectual like Dr. Rafiqbhai and it has happen many
time it  has happen with Muslims  Workers in  Maharashtra

  Vilas Rao has given scarify   for party and gave the birth to Shri
Shushil Kumar Shine so his value to be counted. (But one seat should
give to young Person will help the new generation )

  NCP the real candidature to be give is Bhujbal his leadership will
grow and his commitment for party and scarify will give him chance,
or new Generation candidate if they can give is choice is Babanrao
Pachpute may be very helpful to party because he has good relation
with old Janta Party Members, which will help NCP to in cash in some
matter related to Maharashtra or the best choice is Vasant Chavan
then the election in September will help party to gain ST/SC/and
tribal vote in his favor he is loyal and dedicated party Worker and
scholar in many subject

  Pritish Nandi I think so Balasaheb will not consider but yes
Manohar Johshi Sir is confirm but for second Candidate may be new
face this is my observation but for the next seat if Bala sahib fill
fit for   Udhhav or Raj will boots the moral of Shiv Sainik that's
for sure and Shiv Sena will do miracle in next Assembly Election
This is my view

If this People will go to upper hose it may benefit to nation
because upper house has many thing to decide and to take
consideration

We can now see new strides being achived in the food and agriculture
sector with the broad-minded leader at the reins. We can expect
major gains in exports, and significant growth in the processing
industries and refrigerated storage and transportation facilities in
the coming years under Sharad Pawar.
Poor farmers of AP, Maharashtra and Gujarat can expect someone who
will listen to their problems and provide viable solutions which
will be implemented. A balanced growth in all sectors may be
expected in the near future.

New Delhi: Nationalist Congress a Party president, Sharad Pawar,
today said he had insisted for Agriculture portfolio in the Manmohan
Singh Ministry and he was happy he would get it.
"Seventy per cent of people of our country live in villages, earning
livelihood from agriculture. My heart beats for these people," Pawar
told reporters here.

He said he was satisfied with the representation his party got in
the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance.

NCP, with nine MPs, has been given a cabinet and two Minister of
State slots.

Pawar denied he lobbied for the job of convenor of the alliance
saying "We are not discussing that."

On the coalition's Common Minimum Programme, he said "whatever we
suggested, whatever proposals we made, have been accepted."

Two other Members of NCP in Manmohan singh Cabinet is Mr.Praful
Patel and Mrs.Suryakanta PAtil of Hingloi

NGBK

New Delhi, May 20. (PTI): The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) will
decide by tonight on the issue of its participation in the Congress-
led coalition at the Centre.

This was stated by NCP spokesman Praful Patel after Congress
formally invited the Sharad Pawar-led party, which has nine members
in the Lok Sabha, to participate in the government.

Congress leaders Ahmed Patel and Pranab Mukherjee called on NCP
chief Sharad Pawar today and where informed about the NCP decision
during the meeting that followed there, sources said.

http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/holnus/002200405201919.htm

Did Sonia Gandhi step down from the race to be Prime Minister because
her "inner voice" suddenly told her to do so?
Why did this "voice" speak now, despite her being elected Congress
Parliamentary Party leader and after obtaining letters of
support from all allied parties?

Apparently, it was not the "inner voice" but certain queries that
could have been put to her by the President of India, custodian of
the Constitution, which caused her to withdraw her name.

Contrary to attempts by Congressmen and Communists to portray her
eleventh-hour retreat as a "personal decision" spurred by
her children, it could be the clarifications apparently sought by
President A P J Abdul Kalam that resulted in the rethink.
The President, it is reliably learnt, did not outrightly reject her
candidature for the post of the Prime Minister. However, he is
believed to have sought certain clarifications on a few points
regarding the precise status of her Indian citizenship. In doing so,
he may have referred to some pointed queries referred to him by legal
luminaries who met him since the declaration of the Lok
Sabha election results.

That probably explains why Ms Gandhi's decision to opt out came only
after she emerged from the Rashtrapati Bhawan after
meeting the President on Tuesday at 12.30 pm. That could also explain
why she did not allow the entourage of allied parties to
accompany her for the meeting, contrary to custom.
According to highly placed sources, the President may have conveyed
to her that in view of the legal and constitutional queries
raised, he would need some more time to examine the matter.
Accordingly, there could be no swearing-in on Wednesday, May
19 - a date unilaterally announced by Left leaders and
enthusiastically endorsed by Congressmen on Monday without
consulting the Rashtrapati Bhawan.
Highly placed sources in the Government told The Pioneer that on the
basis of various petitions submitted to him, the President
could have sought to clarify a few issues from Ms Gandhi. He is said
to have informally communicated to her on Monday
evening that certain queries needed to be answered, even as he
invited her to have a discussion on Government formation.
On the basis of pleas submitted to him by people like Janata Party
leader Subramanian Swamy and BJP leader Sushma Swaraj
against any person of foreign origin occupying a top constitutional
post, and the legal advice that he had obtained from top
constitutional experts, the President could have sought three
clarifications from Ms Gandhi. This would be a haunting experience
for Ms Gandhi. The BJP leaders had already declared that they would
continue to support any form of agitation on the foreign origin
issue.

The most damaging clarification that has apparently been sought
relates to Article 102 of the Constitution that says: "A person
shall be disqualified for being chosen as, and for being, a member of
either House of Parliament" on any or more of five
possible grounds.

Clause(d) of the same Article says "... or is under any
acknowledgement of allegiance or adherence to a foreign state".
The term "adherence" had to be clarified specifically as Ms Gandhi in
her affidavit before the Returning Officer of the Rai Bareli
parliamentary constituency had stated that she owned ancestral
property, namely portion of a house, in Orbassano, Italy, the
country of her origin. This fact of ownership, legal experts say,
makes her subject to Italian law in this matter and could be
interpreted as "adherence" to a foreign country.
Since this portion of the ancestral property was apparently
bequeathed to her by her father in his will, she inherited it only
after
his death. Consequently, the property was not her's when she filed
her 1999 nomination affidavit.
Article 103 states that "if any question arises as to whether a
member of either House of Parliament has become subject to
disqualification mentioned in Article 102, the question shall be
referred for the decision to the President and his decision shall be
final". Clause 2 of the Article says: "Before giving any decision on
such question, the President shall obtain the opinion of the
Election Commission and shall act according to such opinion."

This means that the President is required by the Constitution to
undertake an elaborate process of examining the legal and
constitutional issues involved. Thus, Ms Gandhi's swearing-in could
not happen before the matter was fully clarified and
resolved. Another point that came in the way of Ms Gandhi was Section
5 of the Citizenship Act. Under this, there is a reciprocity
provision whereby citizenship granted by India to persons of foreign
origin is circumscribed by the rights that particular country
confers upon foreigners seeking citizenship there.

The crux of this provision of "reciprocity" is that a person of
foreign origin, who has acquired the citizenship of India through
registration by virtue of marrying an Indian national, cannot enjoy
more rights (like becoming Prime Minister), if the same
opportunity is not available to an Indian-born citizen in that
particular country.

While it is not known whether the President mentioned this, legal
luminaries pointed out there could be a further lacuna over the
issue of her surrendering Italian citizenship. It is believed that
while acquiring citizenship through registration in 1983, she
surrendered her Italian passport to the Italian Ambassador in New
Delhi but did not obtain a formal notification from the Italian
Government that her citizenship of that country had been cancelled.


This might be only a technicality that could be rectified in a few
days, but it would have certainly helped the BJP raise the pitch
of the campaign once the citizenship issue returned to the fore.
Another petition submitted to the President on Tuesday by Sushma
Swaraj pointed out that as the Supreme Commander of India's Armed
Forces, the President should examine a key issue. It
referred to the fact that a Defence or Indian Foreign Service
official cannot even marry a foreign national without permission, or
must quit his post. How could a person of foreign origin be handed
over the nuclear button in such circumstances, Ms Swaraj's
petition demanded to know.

What could have prevented Sonia?

Article 102 of the Constitution says: "A person shall be disqualified
for being chosen as, and for being, a member of either House
of Parliament - (d) if he or she is under any acknowledgement of
allegiance or adherence to a foreign state." Sonia Gandhi, in
her affidavit, had declared she owned a house in Italy and may thus
invite, the term "adherence" of the said provision.

Under Article 103, the President is the sole adjudicator on the issue
who has to decide on such matter in consultation with the
Election Commission.

Section 5 of the Citizenship Act, dealing with the reciprocity clause
for a person who registered herself as an Indian citizen, says
the said person could not enjoy more rights than those available to
an Indian born person in that other country if he/she acquires
citizenship of that country, like Italy for instance.

The clauses of the Citizenship Act were apparently not fully met when
Ms Gandhi relinquished her Italian citizenship.

Dear Chanakya
Thanks for replying me,  I hope u still have the some problems

never given Muslim PM and it is not the hand of any one, but the
ruling party or the party who gets the highest majority, then among
them they will decide the candidate of PM

As you say, we hate Hindus as Muslim my friend u making big mistake
by writing on the papers you can not became fundamentalist Hindu or
Muslim or any other cast, try to became Indian first what u r ? And
what we r ?  My grandfather was freedom fighter my Kaka was head of
the Esso Oil Company in Lahore posted from Bombay, but when he was
asked what u preafer u like to be in India or u wants to stay hire?
He said sorry I have to go to my Motherland and he came back

Look I don't know your age but since last 80 years my family was
selling books in India and we have educated lots people by providing
books, we know India we know our motherland, we know our duty in
fact people try to teach was wrong, u maybe surprise that CPM/CPI
and many political party's leader have brought book from my father
today I am at 55 writing you today so u can understand the time my
father serve the nation, many Indian scholar and readers used to be
our customer

Me as a congressmen for many years I remembers many of
fundamentalist came and went away but nationalism is still here,
please try to understand our new generation don't want your
religious philosophy they want humanity as predicated in Gita,
Mahabharata, and many other religious books, You said your self
Chanakya, it is understand, u believe the principal of only Brahmin,
but rest of is not to be consider, well this is your personal
understand may be,

Here you say u have burnt out Hindu women and so on,   my friend no
one is Hindu or Muslim or by any cast when their is riot, I have
lost my one of the best friend Francis in riot which cast was he is?
can you tell e u the new generations and all of you must understand
now, Please do best for nation try to understand the castism and
fascism or fundamentalisms will not help future India, India will be
grow if we together decide to grow our motherland, not like this, as
the way you all wring this letter to nations e mail users, now
election is over all is went well, who is lost is not a matter, who
will rule and who will do best we don't know?

But we know what we can do best? You please try to understand a
person like us who has responsibility, toward the motherland; we
must decide who is using us? Is politician? Is fundamentalist? Is
capitalist or who decide, but do best, in coming days we r planning
to do street play for better India to be project if any one

THEY ARE COMMITTING ANOTHER GODHRA ON MOTHER INDIA.

The Constitution doesn't debar Sonia from trying for the South Block
office. After all, she is a bona fide citizen of India. However, the
Citizenship Act of 1955 enunciates six distinct types of
citizenships:

i) citizenship by birth
ii) citizenship by descent
iii) citizenship by registration
iv) citizenship by naturalization
v) citizenship by incorporation of territory
vi) citizenship rights conferred on basis of
reciprocity.

The first, second, and fifth categories, are of permanent and
superior kind, which if not voluntarily renounced can never be
revoked by the state. The state can't deprive such citizens of their
citizenship even if it may deprive them of life. But citizenship by
registration or naturalization is like a permit, which can be
stripped off by the state.

Sonia Gandhi's citizenship is of the second kind, and in principle,
revocable by law. Her credentials thus, on this criterion alone,
fall short of Prime Ministership.

Whether it is a national shame or not, it is certainly a danger to
national security. Why do we have rules in the army which prohibit a
foreigner, a foreign born person, even though he is a citizen, from
occupying certain high-ranking offices in the army? Why do we say
that our IPS officers should not be of foreign origin? Why do we say
that our IPS officers cannot marry foreigners? Now, herein comes the
idea of the modern nation-state.



A modern nation-state has a built-in insecurity and that is the
reason why it has to secure itself. But can the Prime Minister have
a foreign wife? Can the Prime Minister's son have a foreign wife?
Sitting in the Prime Minister's Office, in the Prime Minister's
home, a foreign wife for 15 years; who ran away with her husband
when the nation was at war, breaching the discipline of commercial
pilots is now a well, established fact. In India, the MLAs, MPs, and
ministers are not subject to any rule or discipline. Even today
whether an MLA or MP is a public servant is a matter that is being
debated in courts.

So, can an MP have a foreign wife? Can a minister have a foreign
wife? This distortion has crept into the system. And what are the
consequences of foreigners penetrating our polity?



When George Fernandes spoke on this issue on the national
television, it was chilling. He spoke of a particular file, which
contained all the secrets of the government. Where are the nuclear
weapons, where are the missiles, who can press the button, which
missile points in which direction, who are our spy links in
different countries? This single file contains all this information.



That file is not handled by anybody other than the Prime Minister of
India. If Vajpayee ceases to be the Prime Minister and Sonia becomes
the Prime Minister, he will have to hand over this file to her. It
will have every nationa1 security secret. If it falls into wrong
hands, it will strip India naked before inimical forces.



`Can we afford to hand over these secrets to her? ` Fernandes said
even the Defence Minister cannot do anything; he cannot look at that
file. Even the services chiefs know only their part of the secret.
The combined, collective national secret is in the hands of one man
that will be handed over to this foreigner, should she achieve her
political ambition.

"Vinashaya Dushkritham Sambavami Yuge Yuge".

Media have created TWO more DEVILS - of NUISANCE VALUE, like Nehru
created POK and Missionaries in North East. The Nation will have to
suffer from these parasites. Those innocent people of Rae Bareily
and Amethi do not know that Mother Nature is Furious. Every One is
Lord Krishna - these people are forcing all Krishna's to come out to
take on these Devils and Asuras- breeding on our Motherland fed by
Vatican, Missionaries and Pope, Anti Hindu Media, Psecs, Communists
and Congress.

Let the MAHABHARATH start-the Commies, congresses, Psecs and Anti
Hindu Media- will be forced to hide under the water like Duryodhan.

How did this Italian Born Catholic Christian Fe-Male OR SONIA
MAINJI, and her Chief Operator The Catholic Bishop Council Of India,
with the help of The Anglican and Antokian Churches' agents' IN MAHA
BHARAT, with her 17
Indian Christian FRIENDS could take over Our National Political
Party.

The Answer to the Question is: we are partly or wholly responsible
in Inviting these devils agents into our Homes and offering our
Hospitality like, Tea, coffee, food and later Our Temple Land/ Our
fe-males / our   males, and what not.

  Swamy digs out 'legal bar' on Sonia becoming PM

http://us.rediff.com/election/2004/may/03swamy.htm?
headline=Legally~Sonia~can't~become~PM:~Swamy

May 03, 2004 19:29 IST
Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy on Monday said that there
is a 'clear legal bar' on Congress president Sonia Gandhi becoming
the prime minister because of a 'reciprocity' proviso to Section 5
of the Citizenship Act.

The proviso stipulates that an Indian Citizenship, conferred under
this section to an Italian, shall be subject to the same conditions
and restrictions that apply to Indians, who sought Italian
citizenship, he told a press conference.

In Italy, a naturalized citizen could not hold a high public office
like the prime minister of the country.

"Because of the conditional reciprocal nature of Sonia Gandhi's
Indian citizenship, she is disqualified to become the prime
minister," he said.

He claimed to have consulted legal experts and legal officers of the
country, who had concurred with his views, and has written to Deputy
Prime Minister L K Advani to issue a Government Order to make this
position clear.

If the Centre does not issue an order, he would consider approaching
the Supreme
Court.
                                                     Hindus should
take lessons from the happenings in IRAQ. We should not just
be "entertained" by the news coming from there but draw some
CONCLUSIONS. These are (1) Their UNWILLINGNESS to accept a NON
MUSLIM and a NON IRAQI in their midst. and (2) their fierce
RESISTANCE to occupation. Everyday they are FIGHTING a war to throw
the Coalition troops OUT.

Given the equivalent of these two Iraqi traits, every Hindu would
have shouted, "QUIT INDIA!" at the cheap ITALIAN import by BOFORS
CHOR.

             Sonia Maino says that she has a mission to shape Indian
according to her own image and beliefs. This is the colonial
ideology of the "White Man's Burden." This is what makes her behave
so rudely with Indians. Her followers essentially accept her
superiority because of her race. And these are not the illiterate
villagers but products of India's elite (colonial) institutions. Her
court is full of them.

     So, don't blame Sonia, blame the educational system that
produces such people-- people willing to sacrifice their freedom and
identity for comfort and a subordinate position. They value comfort
above responsibility of leadership.

LeavesIndia   awaits   a   new    Parliament   of   Thugs !


India will be glued to Media that gets ready to welcome another group of
gangsters in parliament in a few days from now.Let us not give them any more
chance to cheat and loot the people as they have been doing for past over 5
decades. But what can be done so that new arrivals do only work brilliantly with
a sense of service towards the people and our nation.?

The country has since long been discussing about the manner in which the leaders
and political parties, in league with the dark and evil forces, equipped with
the Corporate and hidden Media support, loot, plunder the nation and conduct
themselves in a manner that scams and scams of hundreds thousands of crores of
public money, remain hidden from public eye while just a few somehow leak but a
simple poor Indian is never able to see the culprit leaders ever being
apprehended,adjudged, tried and punished by our Judiciary !!

They have been doing their job so well that they have deviced smart and
complicated games of subversion in our system to throw dust into the eyes of a
billion people by their control over Judiciary, Media and entire governmental
working smartly works against the public interest and we the people, who witness
this year after year, have not been able to evolve any effective strategy so
that they are forced not to repeat the same corrupt practices as they have been
doing every time we voted them to power.

As awareness amongst people of India increase and their henious acts come to
fore, they will soon see that happy days of loot, plunder, and disinformation
are perhaps over. Let us ensure that those, who now will rule India, will
rapidly see that their powers to cheat people falling apart. This ongoing
process is opening up new opportunities every day for us to expand the
cooperation and our resolve to pledge an end to their dark practices and bring a
closing to this already nearing their 'end game' which is reaching a point where
a new beginning can be expected if we are prepared with a plan ! Now one may ask
"What Plan ?" This is what we have to discuss amongst ourselves.


   a.. No more Cover ups.
   b.. We need absolute Transparency and corruption free clean governance
   c.. Common man's right to information without delay and immediately when
asked.
   d.. We need Clean Judiciary and a fair police system.
   e.. We are asking for role,social responsibility and Rules for Media,Corporate
Sector and Leaders defined clearly and explicitely by Supreme Court.
I find more than a thousand positive and concerned Indians involved at various
e-groups discussion.If we are able to come together and look beyond with a
broader view to bring improvements in our society we must discuss and evolve a
clear and an effective strategy so that atleast now onward we ensure that
qualitatively and financially -every average poor Indian can really Shine.

Dear  Friends,

Inviting to be District / Team Leaders, for  NTAT - India, Sri Lanka, Nepal,
Burma, Bhutan, B'desh.


As Director of the NESARA Take Action Teams (NTAT) for Southwest Asia, I'm
informing you of some beneficial winds of change which are moving across the
world and am inviting you to join us in bringing improvements to your countries.
The improvements that will be coming to your countries include: World Peace,
Forgiveness of bank debts, New prosperity options, Humanitarian improvement
projects for our countries and Greater individual Freedom.  These improvements
are ripple effects of a new law in America which is called NESARA.

In America, some powerful people have been working to reform the American
government and to remove the Bush regime from power through implementing a law
called NESARA - the National Economic Security And Reformation Act.  Because
NESARA will cause America's new US Treasury currency to be backed by precious
metals, these improvements in America will have financial ripple effects which
will benefit our countries also.  NESARA's major improvements are:- 1)
Establishing a US Treasury Bank System which absorbs the Federal Reserve Bank
and provides US Treasury currency backed by gold;  2) Requires bank debt relief
for mortgage loans, credit card debt, car loans, education loans, business loans
etc.; 3) Requires the Bush regime and all the members of the American Congress
to resign their positions and be temporarily replaced by Constitutionally
acceptable NESARA Designates running America until new elections about 4 months
after NESARA's announcement; 4) Abolishes American income taxes; 5) Restores
Constitutional Law which abolishes American laws back to 1933 and requires the
President Designate to declare America is at peace and to end all aggressive
American military actions.

NESARA is the New American Revolution and ends many of the American government
activities causing problems for other countries.  NESARA's ripple effect
improvements for our countries include Income taxes abolished worldwide within
two to four years; Bank debt forgiveness to people in 140+ countries within a
year after NESARA's announcement; New prosperity options for people around the
world within four years after NESARA's announcement; World peace within four
months after NESARA's announcement; greater individual freedom for people
through adoption of Common Law worldwide within four years after NESARA's
announcement; Availability of new Energy devices, Alternative health therapies,
Technologies to clean our Air, Water, and land; and much more.  The winds of
change are bringing us these improvements.
A new phase has started in our work as these new winds of changes have started
blowing, sweeping clear and unobstructed all over the world. This is when all of
us can come together and contribute in positive and constructive manner to bring
about the holistic and healthy changes in this region and work on many critical
issues that are concerning our society and people.

This letter is a call request to all friends to support the work and be a part
of social change that we are desiring. Cleaning up society, getting rid of all
the corruption and disinformation muck being spread and in nutshell, attepting
to bring improvements in all walks of life in non partisan and with a humanistic
mindset and most important of all providing a framework for all individual
members of society to achieve abundance and improve their financial status.

As Director NTAT South West Region I officially started formation of NTAT TEAMS 
and invite volunteers for NESARA Take Action Teams willing to take up important
assignments in their region. This, at present, is a voluntary work and I am
inviting committed friends with  "a vision and an attitude of service" towards
people in society, country and this region to join the NESARA Take Action Teams
(NTAT).

In first phase of our work we are focussing on having District / Team Leaders in
all States, districts, cities, towns who, in coming weeks, shall add to the
network their own team Team Members. This work is to complete soon and if not 24
hours during 7 days, still requires a little serious commitment and some hours
every week from District / Team Leaders with passion to move forward with coming
improvement projects in their area which will be well supported.

Second phase of NTAT shall entail wide spread projects to be taken up by all of
us that will aim at bringing awareness, true information to people, removing the

Forward from another list_

Former Indian Law Minister Ram Jethmalani has a book collection worth
Rs 4 million (US$91,297). Mayawati, the acerbic chief of the Bahujan
Samaj Party is the daughter of a lowly peon and belongs to the
economically marginalized Dalit caste. But she has in her name a
whopping Rs 97.8 million in different bank accounts. Ram Naik has
generally been considered that rarity - a member of parliament with a
clean image. Yet he owns a house in south Mumbai worth Rs 6.3
million, from which he earns a rental income of Rs 30,000 every
month.

Jethmalani, Mayawati and Naik are among the thousands of eager
politicians vying for the 543 seats in the Lok Sabha - lower house of
the Indian parliament - election campaigning for which is currently
under way. And these juicy tidbits about their personal wealth are
now in the public domain thanks to a recent diktat from the Election
Commission of India. Aspiring members of parliament now have to
declare via affidavits the details of court cases pending against
them as well as the breakup of their and their spouse's movable and
immovable properties, including bank balances, financial investments,
real estate, vehicles and jewelry.

Local politicians have always been known to hoard assets, to use a
quaint Indian _expression, "disproportionate to their known sources
of income". Nevertheless, the novelty of the declarations and the
nuggets of trivia springing from them continue to be the topic of
conversation in many coffee shops. Thus, Srikantadatta Narasimharaja
Wodeyar is the richest aspirant for a Lok Sabha seat, having declared
assets worth Rs 15.2 billion. The portly scion of the erstwhile royal
family of Mysore state in south India claims the Mysore and Bangalore
palaces among his personal possessions. But the ownership of the two
world famous properties is under dispute and the matter is presently
before the Supreme Court of India. According to the affidavit filed
by the former prince, he also owns seven other large properties in
south India, including three palaces.

The plunge from royalty to commoner is sharp, with the next
wealthiest, actor-politician Sunil Dutt, declaring his total assets
at Rs 220 million. A two-time MP belonging to the Congress party,
Dutt's wealth is largely derived from some shrewd real estate
investments made when he was a popular film star of the seventies.
His party's president, Sonia Gandhi, opposition leader in the last
Lok Sabha and widow of former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi,
pegs her wealth at Rs 7.4 million. Among her assets are an ancestral
home in Italy, bank deposits, gold and silver jewelry and two plots
of land.

What has raised eyebrows is the declaration by Rahul Gandhi, her son
and the Congress candidate from Amethi in Uttar Pradesh state. He has
made shrewd investments worth Rs 700,000 in the Indian money markets,
owns jewelry worth Rs 125,000 and has deposited Rs 1.1 million in
Indian banks and about $65,000 in banks abroad. "All this while, we
were told that Rahul Gandhi is a student at Trinity College,
Cambridge. Then how did he acquire these assets?" .

But the BJP's leaders, including some of the leading lights of the
party, have also not escaped scrutiny. Prime Minister Atal Bihari
Vajpayee's assets are worth over Rs 5.8 million. This includes Rs
20,000 in cash and Rs 382,886 in a bank account. He also has a term
deposit account of Rs 2.5 million and has made investments worth Rs
120,782. He owns a flat in New Delhi, worth about Rs 2.2 million. He
also has a share (worth Rs 600,000) in an ancestral house in the
central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani, often praised for his modest ways,
is worth Rs 11.8 million. External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha's
wife Nilima Singh owns a house in New Delhi worth Rs10 million. She
also has a bank bond of Rs 800,000 and jewelry worth Rs150,000.
Minister for Non-Conventional Energy Sources Karia Munda owns three
buildings valued at Rs 1 million and agricultural land worth Rs
450,000. Finally, Rabindra Pandey, a MP belonging to the BJP, owns
three apartments in New Delhi and one each in the east Indian cities
of Patna, Kolkata and Ranchi.

There are similar other surprises from the declarations of candidates
belonging to other parties. Wrestler-turned-politician and Samajwadi
Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav owns land worth Rs 3.1 million.
Newspaper delivery boy-turned-politician Vasant Davkhare, the NCP
candidate for Thane constituency, whose mother was a vegetable seller
even when he was the mayor of Thane, has declared assets of Rs 31
million.

An interesting case is that of underworld don-turned-politician Arun
Gawli, who is fighting as an independent candidate for the Mumbai
South Central seat. He has declared assets of Rs 20 million. A school
dropout, Gawli has often been booked on several cases of murder and
extortion and even spent a stint in Yervada Prison, four hours away
from Mumbai. Apart from land and investments in various financial
instruments, Gawli possesses ornaments valued at Rs 1.8 million,
vehicles worth Rs 1.4 million and Rs 700,000 in cash.

Three topics of conversation have repeatedly turned out to be great
ice-breakers at Indian social gatherings: the performance of the
national cricket team, the off-screen sex lives of film stars and
corruption among the political class. "Apart from providing great
entertainment value, these net worth reports have proved what we knew
all along - our politicians are among the most corrupt in our land,"

India has the dubious distinction of figuring 83rd in the Global
Corruption Index, a survey of 133 nations recently conducted by
Transparency International. Media exposes have often pointed fingers
at the corrupt ways of Indian politicians and some of the celebrated
cases have even gone to court. However, most of them have got
entangled in the over-burdened Indian judicial system and the cases
have dragged on for years. In the interim period, some of the accused
have died and the political careers of others have run their natural
courses. But in most cases the politicians involved continue to enjoy
the fruits of office and, it is sniggered, do what they are best at -
making money by way of bribes and commissions.

It has now been 13 years since Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in a
bomb blast, but the ghost of the Bofors guns scandal continues to
tarnish the former prime minister's name as well as that of his
Congress party. The grandson of India's first prime minister was
alleged to have pocketed Rs 640 million by way of commission from
leading Swedish armaments manufacturer Bofors AB. The jury is still
out on that case. His successor, Narasimha Rao, was hauled to the
Indian courts by Lakhubai Pathak, a London-based pickle manufacturer,
on charges of bribery. Pathak died last year and Rao's political
career is more or less finished, but the case drags on in the courts.

Communications minister Sukh Ram fell from grace in 1996 when federal
authorities uncovered wads of Indian currency totally worth Rs 350
million from under his mattress. The money, it was alleged, was part
of the bribes paid by a leading New Delhi-based telecom company. But
Sukh Ram went on to float his own political outfit, the Himachal
Vikas Party, which in turn became a key ally of the ruling BJP
government in his home state of Himachal Pradesh. Ram has now
switched allegiance to the Congress.

A R Antulay had to quit his chief ministership of Maharashtra in 1982
after an intensive campaign by the Indian Express newspaper proved
that he had accepted illegal political donations from Mumbai's
builder lobby. But the scandal did not finish his political career
and he is now the Congress candidate for the Kolaba constituency in
the ensuing Lok Sabha elections. Former cine star Jayaram Jayalalitha
made the usual rounds of the courts after figuring in a series of
corruption-related cases but she is now the chief minister of the
south Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Whenever an Indian politician is faced with corruption charges, he
always comes up with the favorite line: all this is the handiwork of
my political opponents. This is the pat explanation that Laloo Prasad
Yadav, the silver-haired supremo of the Rashtriya Janata Dal party
gave to the press when he was accused in 1998 of siphoning out funds
meant for cattle fodder in the north Indian state of Bihar, of which
Yadav was then the chief minister. Yadav's is the perfect example of
the scant disregard that Indian politicians have for corruption
charges against them. He faced a short jail term while the
investigations were on. But in a brazen act that had no parallels in
India's political history, he appointed his wife Rabri Devi, an
illiterate mother of 11, as the state's chief minister before setting
off for jail.

Yadav is now standing for elections in the Madhepura constituency.
This son of a poor farmer has bank deposits worth Rs 500,000 against
his name. His collection of precious stones is worth Rs 25,000. In
addition, he owns jewelry worth Rs 28,000. Housewife-turned-Chief
Minister Rabri Devi, meanwhile, owns 50 cows and 31 calves valued at
Rs 520,000. The reluctant politician also has bank deposits totaling
Rs 400,000, jewelry worth Rs 260,000 and land estimated at Rs 1.4
million.

In all these cases of asset revelation, the initial disbelief
gradually gave way to extreme skepticism. Political pundits insist
that most candidates have grossly under-declared their assets. It is
a well-known fact that in order to escape scrutiny, many politicians
transfer their assets to the names of their kith and kin. It is
believed that the Yadav kids own assets totaling Rs. 9 million.
Others appoint close political associates as benami (bogus) owners of
their properties or businesses. Thus, the owner of a well-known
chemical firm is believed to be fronting for an important politician
who has often played key roles both at the state and central levels.

The affidavits also fall short of presenting the correct picture
because in many cases the politicians have declared the purchase
prices of their real estate possessions and not their higher,
prevailing market rates. This is particularly true in metropolises
like Mumbai some areas of which fetch the highest real estate prices
in the world. Doubting Thomases point out the case of Manohar Joshi,
who came to the city in 1951 as an impoverished lad of 14 and later
rose to become an important leader of the local Shiv Sena party,
mayor of Mumbai, chief minister of Maharashtra, the country's
minister for heavy industries and public enterprises and finally, the
speaker of the Lok Sabha.

Alongside his political career, the witty Joshi made a name for
himself as the owner of the Kohinoor Technical Institute (KTI), which
has branches all over the city imparting technical education. He is
now seeking re-election from the Mumbai North Central constituency
and has declared as his assets eight properties in Mumbai's prime
areas of Worli, Dadar and Matunga, totally valued at Rs 26.4
million. "Nearly every KTI branch is a three-storied structure. His
property in up-market Worli alone must be worth around Rs 12
million,"



The salary of an Indian MP is only Rs 12,000 per month. But add the
various allowances and privileges he enjoys, and a MP's take-home
every month ends up exceeding that of even a senior-level manager of
a multinational corporation. Every MP gets Rs 20 million per annum
ostensibly for development work in their constituency. The government
takes care of all medical expenses. An MP is entitled to free air
travel in business class, three telephone connections and a fully
furnished bungalow. He/she gets a daily allowance of Rs 500 for
attending parliamentary sessions and a monthly constituency allowance
of Rs 10,000. Finally, the privileges extend beyond an MP's tenure in
the form of a monthly pension of a minimum of Rs 3,000 (the amount
can increase, depending on the number of years the MP has put in as a
people's representative in parliament).

Of course, nowhere on paper are the intangible benefits of being a
politician mentioned. These include lobbying for moneyed groups and
getting legislation enacted in their favor. Then there is the
advantage of getting your near and dear ones appointed on lucrative
government corporations and committees, both at the central and state
levels.

With all of these resources to make money on the side at their
disposal, the figures declared by the politicians seem highly
unrealistic. Nevertheless, the common Indian feels that making it
mandatory for Lok Sabha candidates to declare their assets is a good
first step towards bringing greater probity in public life.

It is now important for taking the process forward and as a next
step, perhaps the next time around, the asset figures should be cross-
checked by the Election Commission so that their veracity is
established. Only then will the Indian politician stop taking the
rest of his countrymen for an unnecessary and long ride.

Does our Electrol system allows for compulsory scrutiny of this
assets declared by the peson who is contesting election, what are
there are sources of Income, whether they had declared the property
in their Income Tax Returns, wealth tax return . Whether this member
are filing properly Income tax return, how this wealth had earned
when they had no business and also the allownancesd and salary what
are getting is sufficient to cater to purchase the wealth. Is there
is some unearth wealth also in name of relatives. I think there
should be a system of compulsory scrutiny of weath declared with
Income tax returns, wealth tax returns, and their source of income so
that the member who is contesting election should be free from
corruption.

Mumbai, April 19: Arun Gawli now appears to be getting a taste of
his own medicine.

The don-turned-politician, whose name still strikes terror in the
hearts of many, is running scared that he might be "bumped off" in a
fake encounter.

And the enemy to watch for the don of Dagdi chawl — who's contesting
from Mumbai South-Central on an Akhil Bharatiya Sena ticket — is not
some old rival but his very own nephew and Nationalist Congress
Party candidate, Sachin Ahir.

Gawli's entry into the fray has turned the constituency into one of
the most eagerly watched "fight spaces" in these parts. He is up
against sitting Shiv Sena MP Mohan Rawle, who has won the seat a
record four times, and Ahir, who is no pushover either.

But there's little doubt that his candidature has upset calculations
and added spice to the big fight. Both his rivals and the ruling
Congress-NCP combine look jittery.

Once Gawli let on that he would fight the polls, the government
began to dig up old cases against him. It even had him arrested in a
1990 extortion case just before he headed in a big cavalcade of
riotous supporters to file his nomination.

The reformed don was let off almost immediately after he furnished a
Rs 10,000 bond, but the message was clear: the government wasn't
happy he was in the fray.

Gawli immediately called a news conference and complained his own
nephew was after his life. "My own nephew is getting the police to
harass me and I may be bumped off on a fake encounter. My life is at
risk,'' he whined, at his Dagdi chawl fortress.

A rattled Ahir waved off the allegations and threatened legal action
against his uncle. "What nonsense is this? It is surprising that the
person the whole city fears says he is scared of me."

Ahir, who cut his political teeth at Gawli's feet, denied asking him
to withdraw in his favour. "Old habits die hard — he (Gawli) has
threatened some of my supporters. How can anybody threaten him?"

But Gawli sang a different tune. Gandhi cap firmly in place, he
said: "I have been through a lot and will not be cowed by threats.
This is a democracy and I will not withdraw my nomination under any
circumstance.

"Sachin is scared of me, that's all. The kid who got into politics
after I gave him a break in the trade union has turned into a
rakshash (demon) now. Power has gone to his head.''

Rawle won the last election by 176,325 votes.

Satara: Will NCP Chief Sharad Pawar be able to maintain his
dominance in Western Maharashtra, the land of sugar cooperatives
that holds the key to power in the state?
This has become a million dollar question with the Shiv Sena-BJP
combine attempting to make inroads in the NCP territory where
Congress is playing a second fiddle to Pawar in the Lok Sabha
elections being held on April 20 and 26.

Despite the NCP and Congress coming together in an alliance, the
situation has turned complex in the region ahead of the crucial
Assembly polls in the wake of drought, crisis in the sugar industry,
closure of several sugar cooperatives and other industrial units as
also non-completion of the ambitious Krishna valley project.

There is also a growing perception that the area is being neglected
in view of the strident demands for completion of backlog of
development projects in Vidarbha, Marathwada and Konkan region.

Besides, the NCP-Congress alliance itself has resulted in an
overnight change of political equations with local leaders who are
apprehensive of not getting nominations in the Assembly polls moving
to other parties including the Shiv Sena and BJP or remaining
inactive in the campaign.

Matters have not helped much in spite of the Congress-NCP coalition
running the state for the past over four years. The Government has
been handicapped by a growing debt burden but its detractors say it
was all a question of management.

The Shiv Sena-BJP combine is upbeat in view of the coming Assembly
polls as its feels that the incumbency factor would hit the ruling
coalition hard. Western Maharashtra comprises of 12 Lok Sabha
constituencies in the districts of Pune, Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur,
Solapur and Ahmednagar.

This time, Shiv Sena and BJP are banking on leaders from NCP and
Congress, who parted ways ahead of the elections, to spring a
surprise on Pawar and his colleagues in Congress.

At least five of the nominees of the Shiv Sena-BJP in Western
Maharashtra are fresh entrants from Congress and NCP and are leaders
in their own right in their areas.

At least four of these new entrants are giving a tough fight to NCP
and Congress in Ichalkaranji, Kolhapur, Khed and Kopargaon.

In fact, the BJP nominee from Baramati against Pawar is Prithviraj
Jachak, a close associate of the NCP President in the sugar
cooperative sector who moved to the saffron party last month.

In the 1999 elections, when Pawar had parted company with Congress
on the foreign origin issue of Sonia Gandhi, he won seven seats in
five districts of Western Maharashtra which included Pandharpur from
where RPI leader Ramdas Athavale had emerged victorious due to the
NCP's support.

That time Haribhau Mahale of the JD-S had won from Malegaon in
Nashik district of North Maharashtra in the wake of his party's tie-
up with NCP. The Congress had won two seats from the area with
Sushilkumar Shinde emerging victorious from a seat bagged by BJP in
a bypoll last year.

Another seat won by Congress was Sangli where Prakash Patil, son of
late Chief Minister Vasantdada Patil, was the candidate. Prakash is
trying his luck again this time in a difficult situation as the
sugar cooperative started by his father, known to be biggest
cooperative mill in Asia, has closed down bringing hardships to
thousands of families who depended on it.

The BJP had won two seats, Pune and Ahmednagar, and Shiv Sena's
Balasaheb Vikhe Patil had romped home from his pocketborugh of
Kopargaon in the same district. This time, the former Union Minister
is back in Congress and is contesting on its ticket.

Barring these eight seats, Pawar's party had drawn a blank in other
parts of the state including Marathwada, Konkan and Vidarbha.
Maharashtra has a total of 48 seats.

The parting of ways by Pawar had also hit hard Congress which could
manage just 10 seats. Shiv Sena had won the largest, 15 seats
followed by 12 by BJP in the 1999 elections.

This time, Pawar, who was the architect of the spectacular victory
of the undivided Congress in 1998 when it had won 38 seats in the
state, wants to repeat it and his supporters claim it would be a
total sweep for NCP and Congress in Western Maharashtra.

NEW DELHI: If there's a tide in political fortunes in the run-up to
the first day of polling, it's ebbing for the NDA and rising for the
Congress. Opinion polls have brought down the BJP's tally to not
only below the initial projection of 335, but also below the NDA's
strength of 302 to somewhere near the half-way mark. Since Prime
Minister Vajpayee kicked off the BJP's campaign on his birthday on
December 25, the NDA has seen a desertion of allies, collapse of
the "feel-good" and "India Shining" platforms.


This was despite excellent macroeconomic and fiscal figures. In
contrast, alliance building and dynastic charm have worked for the
Congress: It has dug in and reversed a slide to the political
margins and is back in the ring, ready to fight, perchance to deny
the NDA an outright majority. The 100 odd seats that would go to non-
NDA, non-Congress alliance parties have assumed unexpected
importance. Leaders who would command a largish group of MPs
suddenly zoom into post-poll focus: not just Mulayam Singh Yadav,
Mayawati and CPI(M)'s Harkishan Singh Surjeet but also potential
rank-breakers like Sharad Pawar and Chandrababu Naidu.

The dazzling growth numbers, meeting the fiscal deficit target,
peace moves with Pakistan, complete with exhilarating cricket, an
influx of movie stars and a brilliant, high-tech campaign in which
NDA mascot Vajpayee made personal contact with individual voters —
the NDA campaign started off scintillating. The sheen began to wear
thin when the PM and the deputy PM met groups and sections left
behind in the umbra and penumbra of India Shining, and had to
concede that India does not shine for everyone, offering some
respite to the restless ghosts of farmers who have been committing
suicides these past few years

Disinvestment success and 10% plus third quarter growth should have
been shots in the arm for the NDA. But rising prices of primary
articles rubbed off some of the charm. The Supreme Court ruling
against the conduct of the Narendra Modi government during the
Gujarat communal killings and the tragic death of 22 women during a
saree distribution ceremony in the PM's constituency have hurt the
NDA. The feedback for the opinion polls that revised down the NDA's
tally preceded these developments.


The departure of the Dravida parties from the NDA to join the
Congress was a serious blow, harder than the split with Chautala's
party in Haryana. The cool reception to Advani's Bharat Uday Yatra
in its first two legs did not help either. The Yatra served to
highlight the BJP's vacillating commitment to the Ram temple.

What is clear, and we should thank the manifestos of the NDA and the
Congress for this, is that the political class endorses economic
reform across the board. Whoever forms the next government, the
economy should continue to shine.

But it did succeed in making all those look silly who said the Yatra
would leave behind a spoor of communal violence.

The Congress determination to build an anti-BJP alliance made it
accept Laloo's offer of just four seats in Bihar but could not
persuade either Mulayam or Mayawati to join ranks. The entry of
Rahul Gandhi has enthused Congressmen and, going by the agitated
response of the NDA leaders, intimidated the NDA.

Of the contrasting migration of Muslim leaders — Arif Mohd Khan to
the BJP and Syed Shahabuddin and Rashid Alvi to the Congress — the
latter is likely to be electorally more significant.

MUMBAI: On a dusty maidan in Vasai named after Chimaji Appa, the
Peshwa general who had wrested Vasai from the Portuguese, Congress
chief Sonia Gandhi and local lad Govinda stirred but failed to rouse
the crowds.




MUMBAI: Under a sweltering sky, on a dusty maidan in Vasai named
after Chimaji Appa, the Peshwa general who had wrested Vasai from
the Portuguese, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and local lad Govinda
stirred but failed to rouse the crowds.



Gandhi arrived punctually at 4:30 p.m. , taking a helicopter from
Santa Cruz airport to Vasai (no, she didn't take the Virar fast),
where a 10,000-strong crowd waited restively.



Despite the fact that five parties—Congress, NCP, RPI, Vasai Vikas
Mandal and Janata Dal (Secular)—have rallied behind local candidate
Govinda, the ground was not full. However, there was a sizeable
number of women and children present.



The speeches had the necessary anti-BJP ammunition—the Best Bakery
case, farmer suicides, the Rs 25,000 crore UTI scam, the sale of
public sector units, Tehelka, the petrol pump scam(the only
reference to Ram Naik, sitting BJP MP and petroleum minister, whom
Sonia did not name)—but what was missing was spontaneity.



Both Gandhi and Govinda read from prepared texts.



Sonia, whose Hindi has improved remarkably, was confident but
stilted, slamming Vajpayee for his " kushasan " (bad governance) and
for "ruining the economy".



She accused the PM of double talk. For the last four-anda-half
years, he had appealed for votes for the NDA, but now he was seeking
a majority for the BJP.



After talking about the stability provided by the NDA, he was now
hoping that a large coalition would not be returned to power, but
that the people would vote for the BJP, she added.



She drew cheers when she berated BJP for mocking the poor with the
lure of free saris and for the coffin scam where not even the
country's "shaheeds" had been spared.



Vajpayee, she said, changed his tune to suit his convenience and
this was most obvious in the Best Bakery case, where his only
reaction to the supreme court verdict transferring the case outside
BJP-ruled Gujarat was silence.



Praising Mumbai's multi-culturalism, she said that she hoped the
people would vote Congress and not a party that had fragmented the
country.



Govinda, who spoke before her, began in Marathi but switched to
Hindi, and his highly Sanskritised opening where he addressed Sonia
as param pujniya adhyaksh mahoday a ,made it clear that he wanted to
distance himself from his tapori tongue.



But old habits die hard and the filmi lines still flowed. The
political alliance between Sonia and Sharad Pawar was compared to
the meeting of Ganga and Jamuna, and in rhyming verse he declared
that RPI's Ramdas Athavale was single-handedly capable of defeating
RamNaik and so was Janata Dal Secular veteran, Paaniwali BaiMrinal
Gore.



Significantly, Govinda did not refer to his childhood friend and
former TADA detenu Hitendra Thakur, local MLA and brother of don
Bhai Thakur.



Thakur, who did the spadework for the rally, was not permitted by
the party to share the dais with Gandhi to avoid controversy. But
minister of state for home Kripashankar Singh publicly thanked him
for his efforts.



Marcus Dabre, union leader and president of Harit Vasai, an
environmentalist group, said this was the "largest political rally"
after the one held by Indira Gandhi in 1978 and that it was attended
by all communities.



Tarabai Vartak, former Congress minister, said, "The crowd was
surprised to see Soniaji speak for over 15 minutes in Hindi. It is
definitely a point in favour of the Congress."



The show was over in under an hour. There was speculation that Sonia
would visit injured former Chattisgarh chief minister Ajit Jogi in
Bombay Hospital .



Policemen had been posted in and around the hospital from the
morning in anticipation of her visit, but the wait ended at 6.15 pm
when a police radio briefing announced, "She isn't coming

Solapur, April 19: The Congress has its eyes on Solapur and
Maharashtra chief minister Sushil Kumar Shinde his heart.

The stakes couldn't get any higher for either the party or Shinde.
The Congress is spoiling for a fight after last year's shock defeat
at Solapur, a seat it lost after Shinde vacated it en route to the
chief minister's office.

For Shinde himself, the run-up to tomorrow's poll has been
agonising. His wife Ujjwala has crossed the threshold of the home
and kitchen — where she loves to cook crab for him — and entered the
tough world of electoral politics. The chief minister may be anxious
for a Congress victory at Solapur, but is equally "worried'' about
his wife.

"He did not work so hard even when he was fighting the elections,''
a party leader at Shinde's plush marble and mahogany house here
says. "Sir wouldn't like to see Ujjwalaji lose not just because she
is, in a way, fighting his battle, but because he has always seen to
it that she is happy. He would be extremely upset if…"

At 10.30 at night, Shinde is so exhausted that he can barely speak.
Between frequent yawns, he says: "I'll take the interview, let her
sleep. She must be very tired.'' He himself has slept for just three
hours — hitting the bed at 2.30 am and getting up at 5.30 am — but
would rather let Ujjwala rest.

Shinde admits the Solapur loss hit him badly. No one had expected
that the seat he had held for two terms could be snatched away by
the BJP, with a margin of more than a lakh votes. The loss left him
and the party cadre red-faced in front of Congress chief Sonia
Gandhi.

"We should not have lost Solapur,'' he says, his voice sounding very
tired. "There were a lot of things at play, things that can only be
said off the record. The bottom line is that it came at a bad time
and we will have to do our best to wrest it back.''

Much as he would have liked, Shinde could not give much time to
Ujjwala's campaign till the last few days. He has been overseeing
the poll process in the rest of the state and campaigning for
others. Being the chief minister, he also takes along administrative
work wherever he goes. "I have been on her (Ujjwala's) campaign only
on and off. A few hours here and there," he says.

The Solapur election story has seen more turns and intrigues than a
Ram Gopal Verma thriller. First, the Congress lost Shinde's seat to
Pratapsinh Mohite, who is the brother of the ruling Congress-
Nationalist Congress Party combine's deputy chief minister Vijaysinh
Mohite Patil. Then, just as the Congress had almost given up on the
fight, Ujjwala's name came up and Pratapsinh mysteriously refused to
fight.

Though he would not provide any answers, speculation was rife that
NCP chief Sharad Pawar exerted pressure on Patil, a senior party
leader, to ask his brother to step down. Pawar was clear that he did
not want the recent alliance with the Congress undermined.

Ujjwala knows how important this fight is for her husband and his
party. "I am working for saheb, I am not campaigning for myself,''
she says. "My win is his win.'' Helping mother in her first
political battle is Praniti, a law student in Mumbai. Ujjwala's
other daughters Smriti and Priti have also pitched in, going to
villages and asking votes for their mother, often from door to door.

"Though I have been working for the Congress and campaigning for the
party since the last 10 years, this is the first time I am
personally in the fray,'' she says. "Of course, there is a bit of
tension and nervousness but I should get through. What do you say?"

The worries of the Shinde family and the Congress have only
increased with the BJP opponent Subhash Deshmukh turning out to be a
fighter and a moneyed one at that. "Earlier, I was dismissed as a
weak candidate, but I think I have a fair chance,'' Deshmukh, a
former BJP legislative council member, said.

Deshmukh's rise as a businessman has been phenomenal. In the last
decade, he has set up a super bazaar, a transport company, agro
industries, a medical research and development centre, dairy farms,
sugar mills and even a cooperative bank.

When three sugar mills shut down recently, Deshmukh embarrassed
Shinde by writing an open letter to him offering to run the sick
units. "But Shindeji lied to people and said he never received the
letter from me," he says.

Vajpayee-coalition loses impetus as voting begins
By Edward Luce in New Delhi
Published: April 19 2004 20:32 | Last Updated: April 19 2004 20:32


A quarter of India goes to the polls on Tuesday in the first stage
of a four-phase election that is widely expected to return the
ruling Hindu nationalist-led coalition to power. The results are
declared on May 13.


However, opinion polls over the weekend suggest that the government
of Atal Behari Vajpayee, India's 79-year-old prime minister, may be
losing some of the momentum it had gathered earlier in the campaign.

India Today, one of the country's leading magazines, predicted that
the 23-party coalition would get 282 seats, just above the 272
overall majority it would require. But this was sharply lower than
the 335 seats it forecast in February.

Other polls suggest that the BJP-led coalition could drop to as low
as 250 seats, which would give the balance of power to one of the
two main lower-caste parties of north India. Mr Vajpayee would still
be expected to form a government but it would be much less stable
than his outgoing administration.

None of the polls, which draw on sample sizes of between 15,000 and
40,000 voters - a very large figure by the standards of any other
democracy - predicts a majority for the main opposition Congress
party, which is not expected to improve greatly on its current tally
of 112 seats.

The best forecast for Congress plus its allies is still below 200.
Most of the remaining seats would be taken by the north Indian caste
parties and the Communist Party of India (Marxist), which is
expected to retain its grip on the state of West Bengal.

The polls are in line with India's bookmakers, who are offering
almost certain odds on Mr Vajpayee returning as prime minister.

"There are two likely scenarios: either the coalition returns with a
majority or it falls short and has to bargain with other parties to
make up the numbers," said Yogendra Yadav, an electoral analyst.

Tuesday's vote encompasses 140 seats and roughly a quarter of
India's 675m electorate. The largest states include Gujarat, where
the ruling BJP is defending 20 of the 26 seats, and half the 48
seats in Maharashtra, India's second largest state, which is ruled
by Congress in coalition.

Many will watch the voting closely in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka
because both states have a reputation for innovative economic
reform. Both Chandrababu Naidu, chief minister of Andhra Pradesh,
and S.M. Krishna, the chief minister of Karnataka, also face state
assembly polls in which they could be ousted. Mr Krishna belongs to
the Congress party and Mr Naidu to the Telegu Desam party, a
regional grouping allied to the BJP.

"Forget politics, it is important for economic reform that both
win," says Gucharan Das, an economic commentator. "It is in these
two states that India is shining."

Both chief ministers have presided over strong growth in information
technology led by Bangalore and Hyderabad, their respective
capitals. But they have come under strong criticism from rural
groups that feel left behind by the metropolitan booms

100% tycoon to 100% politician
ANAND SOONDAS

Bhandara, April 18: In 1945, as fighter jets bombarded parts of
eastern India, it struck a poor Gujarati beedi roller in Gondia that
a lot of money could be made by supplying the indigenous leafy
cheroots to war-weary soldiers.

The gamble paid off, for Manoharbhai Patel went on to build a
tobacco empire in Maharashtra.

Today, his son Praful Patel, the Nationalist Congress Party's
spokesman, its showpiece face and Sharad Pawar's closest confidant,
is taking another gamble.

Patel's main rival for the Bhandara Lok Sabha seat, Sishupal Patle,
does not have the cushion of a business empire that has an annual
turnover of Rs 400 crore. But Patel (picture on right) is a little
worried this time — unlike previous polls when he was "there just
for the heck of it".

Having fielded one of its top leaders, the NCP cannot afford to lose
Bhandara, a district that borders Madhya Pradesh.

Sitting in his plush office at Chotabhai Jethabhai Patel Tobacco
Products, Patel does not like the heat and the tough campaigning he
has to do. "It's too hot, it's really horrible," says the man who
was never interested in a ministership because the perks were
too "insignificant".

It is clear that Patel's heart is where his wallet is. "I am a 100
per cent businessman and 100 per cent politician," he says, asked
about his priorities. Business will not take a back seat for
politics, not as yet. "I follow all my businesses very keenly," he
says. "I have my eyes on my pharma industry, the packaging wing,
finance, real estate and my educational institutes."

His family's educational trust, the Gondia Educational Society, is a
mini university with 70 schools and 12 colleges offering courses in
arts, commerce, science and law.

The NCP's former candidate from Bhandara, Jagdish Nimbalkar, says
Patel knows most of the senior teachers by name.

With NCP chief Sharad Pawar not too well and the party fraught with
allegations of corruption against Chhagan Bhujbal, one of its top
leaders, Patel has changed gears and is anxious to come good in
Bhandara. "What do you think, how do things look for me here?" he
asks.

Patel has his strong points. His father was MLA four times from
Gondia and remained a self-confessed kingmaker in Maharashtra, a
role Patel fancied himself in until a torrent of problems besieged
the NCP.

At Gondia and Bhandara, it becomes apparent that the family has done
a lot for the place. Unfortunately, for the business tycoon and
unlikely politician, Bhandara, like any other parliamentary seat, is
not just about a pocketborough lovingly nurtured.

As a candidate, Sishupal's charisma may pale against that of Patel,
but his party — though he was with the NCP earlier and hopped over
from the BJP before that — has all the six Assembly seats with it.
Both the Congress and the NCP were routed from here in the Assembly
elections. The BJP bagged five seats while its ally, the Shiv Sena,
got one.

Then there is the caste factor. A Powar, Sishupal belongs to a
community that accounts for 15 per cent of the population in this
belt. Patel — a Gujarati whose father, after he migrated from
Nadiad, worked as a labourer loading and unloading sacks from
trucks — does not belong to any of the other major communities.

His detractors also say he has focused only on his tobacco empire
and has "driven away" other industries.
