Congress MLAs meet today, venue changed yet again New Delhi, December 8 The venue of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting has been changed again and it will now be held at 24, Akbar Road, the AICC headquarters. Sources said that while Ms Dikshit is likely to be the Chief Minister for a second consecutive time, the swearing-in ceremony is likely to be on Thursday. Before the choice of Akbar Road as the venue for the meeting, the party had decided to meet in Old Delhi Secretariat. Incumbent Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, who earlier met the Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday and discussed the details of formation of a new government in Delhi, told mediapersons that the new Assembly would meet before December 12. Ms Dikshit also denied reports that there was any tussle in the party for ministerial berths in the new government. The parleys between Mrs Gandhi and Ms Dikshit centred around the constitution of the new Council of Ministers, which has two vacant slots, one against the seat of former Industry Minister late Deep Chand Bandhu and the other against the seat of
former Finance Minister Mahinder Singh Saathi who lost the polls. The post of Deputy Speaker is also vacant with the former Deputy Speaker, Ms Kiran Chaudhary, having lost in her constituency. Ms Dikshit, according to sources, is expected to retain four ministers of the outgoing government, including Power and Transport Minister Ajay Maken, Civil Supplies Minister Haroon Yusuf, Health Minister A K Walia and Education Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan. Speculations are on for the inclusion of Narendra Nath, Prahlad Singh Sahni, Arvinder Singh Lovely and Krishna Tirath in the new Cabinet. Present Speaker Subash Chopra is expected to retain his post. Party sources said that with the election of Ms Dikshit as the leader of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP), the chance of Ms Dikshit becoming the Chief Minister for a second time is a foregone conclusion. According to political observers, there is widespread appreciation of the spectacular work done by Ms Dikshit during her tenure, which led the party to a resounding victory. The Congress won 47 of the 70 Assembly seats. The CLP, according to party sources, will take this into account and in all probability will endorse her name for the chief ministership. |

Consumer panel’s gag orders struck down Rohtak, December 8 Redressal Forum from pronouncing judgements reserved by him. The national commission has advised the state commission to withdraw its order immediately and ask the president of Rohtak forum, Mr Jagdish Chopra, to dispose of the complaints reserved by him. The state commission had on December 1 restrained Mr Chopra from pronouncing the judgement after he had sentenced the Chief Administrator, HUDA, Mr N C Wadhwa, to four years imprisonment and imposed on the latter a fine of Rs 80,000 for no-compliance of orders. The district forum had urged the Chief Secretary, Haryana, to deduct the fine from the salary of Mr Wadhwa. Following the orders of the state commission restraining him from pronouncing judgements, Mr Chopra had on December 4 resigned in protest. In his resignation letter, Mr Chopra had termed the action of the state commission as unjustified and a sin against justice. He had said that an impression had formed among the people that the state commission had restrained him from pronouncing judgements as he had punished Mr Wadhwa. Mr Chopra took strong exception to the allegations levelled against him by Mr Wadhwa. He said that he had not met Mr Wadhwa since 1998 and as such there was no question of seeking any personal favour from the HUDA chief. Mr Chopra had also sent a copy of his resignation letter to the national commission. Possibly, on the receipt of this letter, the national commission had struck down the orders of the state commission. |

Hooda criticises development model of Gurgaon Gurgaon, December 8 Mr Hooda, while speaking at a public function organised to felicitate him, said that Gurgaon was virtually the gateway of Haryana, but the INLD government was not showing interest in the integrated development of the city. The leaders of the ruling party were only interest in exploiting the city, he added. The public function, organised by a local Congress leader, Mr Dinesh Khanna, was well attended. Mr Hooda further alleged that law and order had deteriorated and the masses were reeling under taxes levied by the government. He said that in spite of poor showing of the Congress in the three of the four states in which Assembly elections were held, the Congress would bounce back to power at the Centre in the coming Parliamentary election under the leadership of Mrs Sonia Gandhi. In Haryana too, the Congress will form the government after the next Assembly election. He said that there was no truth in the reports that there was factionalism in the Haryana unit of the Congress. |

District police ‘Sadhbhawna campaign’ only on paper Faridabad, December 8 Quite clearly, the campaigns so far have been limited to the records, as working style of the police is yet to show any noticeable change. The district police will be observing a ‘Sadhbhawna campaign’ from December 1. As the motive of this drive was stated to be to improve its relations with the common man and media, besides seeking their support in maintaining law and order, the district police have started holding meetings at various schools and institutions. However, the Police Department has not yet issued any press release about the ongoing drive so far. The lack of transparency in the working was clear from the fact that the Police Department does not issue crime reports to the media here on a regular basis. While the issuing of crime reports to the media by the police in Delhi and several other districts of Haryana and NCR region was common so that the people know about the crime situation in the neighbourhood, the police here has maintained a strict control of such information. Although mediapersons have demanded the release of crime report on daily basis, the police officials perhaps do not think it necessary to inform the public about the law and order situation in the district. Perhaps, they feel that it is not in the interest of the department to inform the public about the various facets of law and order problem in the district. While junior and middle level officials of the department, including SHO’s and Chowki incharge, could be seen lecturing on the ‘Sadhbhawna campaign’ (goodwill), senior officials are hardly available for comments when their views are sought by mediapersons, said a journalist here. He said the senior officials seem to have directed their juniors at various police stations and chowkis not to divulge details of a crime or an incident to mediapersons on phone. Mr Karan Dalal, a former minister and MLA from Palwal, alleged that the Police Department had been turned into a handy ‘tool’ for terrorising, harassing and victimising those who were the opponents of those in power. He described the campaign as only a formality for maintaining records and claimed that the functioning of the police could be changed if its “misuse” was stopped. He emphasised the need to give a free hand to the police with proper accountability in routine duty. |

SPECIAL FOCUS ON FARIDABAD Faridabad, December 8 The one-day tour of the Chief Minister was perhaps one of the busiest and hectic in the recent days, although hardly any month passes when the CM is not here in the town or district. Though the Public Relation Department did not supply the itinerary of the CM’s programmes on Sunday, Mr Chautala laid the foundation stone of 66KV sub-station at Baghola village in the district, which is to be built at a cost of about Rs 4.2 crore. Speaking at the occasion, Mr Chautala claimed that the power generation capacity had increased to maximum extent during his tenure and none of the CM’s earlier match the performance in the power sector. He said the state government was working on the concepts of installing power generation plants in all the sugar mills and using the waste as a raw material for making power. He said while about 476 crore had been spent on power sector, as many as 70 new sub-stations were under construction. Later, the CM attended the closing event of an international level kabaddi tournament at Mewla Maharajpur village, where he stated that Haryana Government had spent 3.75 crore on giving awards and prizes to outstanding sportsmen. Mr Chautala then visited Chandavali village, where he gave away awards to the winners of Ch Devi Lal Memorial Open Circle Kabaddi Tournament. Praising himself and his works, at this place, he delivered almost the same speech, like sports and their uplift moves were made by him. Mr Chautala went to local Aggarwal College in Ballabgarh, where he inaugurated a computer laboratory, before proceeding to the Municipal Corporation Auditorium, where the CM presided over the monthly meeting of the district grievances and redressal committee and also gave a cheque to the first beneficiary of ‘Devi Rakshak’, a scheme of social security launched in the state recently. The extremely busy tour of the CM, proved like a test for the district officials who were on their toes till the CM had not left the district. Despite being a Sunday, the day not only proved that CM was most favoured to be the chief guest at any public, but it also tested the energy level of some of the officials who prefer to enjoy weekends leisurely. |
