We’re demoralised, Sheila rues Sonia’s decision New Delhi, May 19 “We are heartbroken. We are demoralised,” Dikshit, considered a confidante of Gandhi, said amid efforts by the senior party leaders to persuade the INC president to reconsider her stand. Stressing that Sonia’s decision would have a ‘demoralising’ impact on the party across the country, the Chief Minister said, “We are there because of her. She is our inspiration.” “It is due to her inspiring leadership that the party has performed so well in the elections,” Dikshit said. “It is shocking to find suddenly that she is not there to lead the country.” Pointing out that she, along with others, had tried to persuade Sonia to reconsider her decision, Dikshit said the INC president’s response was “no”. Asked on the possibility of Sonia refusing to reconsider her decision and nominating somebody else to head the government, the Chief Minister said, “She is our leader, we have to accept and respect her decision.”
Effigies of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and his deputy L. K. Advani were burnt by the Congress workers today to protest against their raising the issue of Sonia Gandhi’s foreign origin. A large number of Congress activists gathered at Jantar Mantar today to set ablaze the effigies. Demonstrating at the Jantar Mantar here, party workers also burnt the effigies of BJP president Venkaiah Naidu and former ministers Sushma Swaraj and Pramod Mahajan. The workers said the BJP leaders’ stance which forced Mrs Gandhi to do a ‘rethink’ on her taking over the mantle of the country’s Prime Minister was ‘’undemocratic, prejudiced and preposterous’’. Shouting slogans against the BJP and its leadership, Congressmen from all over Delhi, led by their leader Chaudhary Prem Singh, decried the ‘base-level campaign’ of its Central leadership against party president Sonia Gandhi, right on the eve of her being anointed the Prime Minister. The gathering later marched to 10, Janpath, the official residence of Mrs Sonia Gandhi, to ‘apprise’ her of their ‘determination’ to accept ‘only her’ as the Prime Minister. |

Ex-Cong MP booked for attempt to suicide The police have registered a case of attempt to suicide against former Congress MP Ganga Charan Rajput.

The police said a case has been registered in this regard for creating a drama. Soon after, he threatened to kill himself with his licensed pistol. However, the police managed to overpower him. The Congress leader had lost the Hamirpur ticket in the just-concluded Lok Sabha elections. He also posed a threat to the crowd as he possessed a loaded weapon. Since Rajput and other Congress workers yesterday resorted to shouting slogans and blocking roads, the police had a tough time managing security in and around the area. Even today, the police ordered additional security arrangements at the place, apprehending similar dramatic situations. The angry Congress workers today broke the windows of the party office and also injured journalists in protest, demanding that Sonia Gandhi should reconsider her decision and take over as the Prime Minister of India.

Realtors, financiers suffer huge losses Noida, May 19 Dozens of real estate dealers have reportedly packed up or are about to do so as each of them has already suffered huge losses. In view of good residential colonies, broad roads, telecom facilities, lots of greenery, infrastructure, better schools and educational institutions, thousands of people had applied for residential plots during the past seven years. However, political instability in the state and some of the recent developments, like scrapping of GB Nagar district had thrown a spanner in the development works in the area. The slump has affected those specialising in sale or purchase of residential, industrial or commercial plots. The people had generally preferred to make Noida and Greater Noida their home. But the rates in the residential sectors which almost touched Rs 8000 per sq
mt. are now stabilised at Rs 3,600 to Rs 5,600 per sq. metre. According to realtors, the reason for instability of land prices is that financiers have virtually disappeared from the scene, of late. According to Inderjeet Lal, a real estate dealer, some buyers have started trickling in the industrial market during the past fortnight. By next month, some buyers of residential plots are also expected to come to the market. According to another real estate dealer Sanjay Bansal, the bulk buyers of residential plots in the area have traditionally been the financiers and until the financier is in the market, an atmosphere of slump is likely to persist. This slump has also affected other trades and professions, he added. |

We saved Rs 1,000 cr by finishing work ahead of time: Metro MD New Delhi, May 19 In a pep talk to industrialists at the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr Sreedharan said they should realise that time is money and finish work ahead of schedule. “This will help in saving a lot of money and create professionalism .... We saved more than Rs 1,000 crore by finishing work five to seven months ahead of time,” he said while speaking on Management of Big Construction Projects: Emerging Opportunities and Challenges. Relating his experience with foreign consultants and contractors, he said they were able to finish work before time as they had formed a consortium. “Indian contractors should also set up a consortium of three or four companies and look beyond financial motives. Even within a consortium of foreign companies, the Indian contractor should play a dominant role and gain experience in the open battlefield.” He said the Indian companies must have adequate in-house design consultants who would be able to improve the design of a project in a short period of time. “The contractors should also import machinery, which cut down on cost and are less noisy.” He called for investing in human capital to improve the quality of labour. This must be down through more training institutes to augment the supply of skilled labour and associating ITIs with training of construction workers. “There should be stress more on professionalism than on profit,” he said. |

Pt Tigunait writes biography of Himalayan sage New Delhi, May 19 Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, PhD, has been lecturing and teaching worldwide for more than a quarter of a century. He is a regular contributor to the “Yoga International” magazine and the author of 12 books, including the best-selling “At the Eleventh Hour: The Biography of Swami Rama of the Himalayas”. Pandit Tigunait holds two doctorates, one in Sanskrit from the University of Allahabad in India and another in Oriental Studies from the University of Pennsylvania. Family tradition gave Pandit Tigunait access to a vast range of spiritual wisdom preserved in both the written and oral forms. Before meeting his master, Pandit Tigunait studied Sanskrit, the language of the ancient scriptures of India as well as the languages of the Buddhist, Jain, and Zoroastrian traditions. In 1976, Swami Rama ordained Pandit Tigunait into the 5,000-year-old lineage of the Himalayan Masters. In “At the Eleventh Hour” Panditji describes Swamiji’s life and his own experiences with Swamiji. The book is a biography of the eminent sage of the Himalayas who mastered the practices of yoga and brought to the West a system for understanding the mysteries of body, mind and spirit. It is also a delightful story of the guru-disciple relationship. Swamiji worked hard all day and slept very little. But no matter what hour of the day, Panditji always found him fully present in the moment. Swamiji enjoyed everything he did: meditating, watching TV, writing books, playing with children, attending important guests, playing tennis, conducting business, music, painting, discussing spiritual matters. These were all different ways of worshipping God. While recalling his time spent with his master, Panditji says, “While translating his book ‘Living with the Himalayan Masters’ he often interrupted my reading to elaborate on the experiences he had not mentioned in the book. These were both fascinating and enriching. I had no time to write them down then but I tucked them away in my heart for safekeeping.” Pandit Rajmani says, “Swamiji’s life story shows us how to discover the connection between ourselves and the divine, how to surrender our personal desire to divine will, how to unfold our potential to its fullest, how to be successful in the world without losing sight of the higher purpose and meaning of life”. According to the ‘Library Journal’, “Pandit Tigunait presents a riveting and enlightening biography of the master he loves and respects, interweaving the story of Swami Rama’s life, philosophy, and experiences with the wisdom of the masters throughout the ages.” |

Apart from houses and shops, one school had also been built by the villagers on this acquired land, which have been razed to ground.
