INLD not to use film stars in campaigning Fatehabad, April 10 Talking to mediapersons here today, Mr Abhey Singh said he had many friends in the film industry who had offered to join the INLD for the forthcoming parliamentary poll, but, he had declined their offer. The INLD leader said that the political parties which were taking the help of film-stars were not only showing their political bankruptcy they were also flouting the guidelines of the Election Commission with impunity. He said earlier when any political party hired the services of any film personality, it had to furnish details of the money paid to the latter to the Election Commission but now parties had found a novel way of giving membership to film personalities and making payments in black money. |

HVP to hit Cong on factionalism Gurgaon, April 10 The HVP has targeted the Congress on the issue of factionalism and its delay in announcing nominees for the parliamentary election in the state. The strategy of the HVP came to the fore yesterday during a series of election-related public meetings addressed by Mr Bansi Lal in the Mahendergarh parliamentary constituency. Addressing a meeting at Wazirabad village in the Gurgaon Assembly segment of the Mahendergarh parliamentary constituency,the HVP nominee, Mr Anil Rao, charged that the Congress was unable to declare the names of its nominees in the state,especially for Mahendergarh.He attributed it to the internecine struggle in the Congress. At all public meetings in the Mahendergarh parliamentary constituency Mr Bansi Lal went to the extent of saying that the country’s security would be at risk if Ms Gandhi became the Prime Minister. On the other hand the Congress also has plans to give a zing to its election campaign. The move of the Leader of the Opposition in the Haryana Vidhan Sabha, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda, to campaign for the party on a “Vikalp
Rath” is seen in this context by many.The move is said to be have worked out about two months back. There is anxiety and uneasiness among Congress workers in various parts of the state for the delay in announcing the names of the
nominees. The reason for the discomfiture is not far to seek.The Congress rank and file were nurturing hope that their organisation would be the first to get into the election gear and be one up on the regional parties, including the ruling
INLD |

Blind persons plan deal with parties Chandigarh, April 10 Mr Jagjit Singh Saini, general secretary of the sangh, said they had called a joint meeting of organisations representing blind, orthopaedically handicapped and deaf and dumb persons of Haryana for forcefully raising the demand of filling the vacancies meant for handicapped persons. The plan for a joint initiative by various categories of handicapped persons is linked to the coming Lok Sabha elections. All the major political parties of the state would seek votes for their respective candidates, Mr Saini said and added that they would like to exploit the situation. While there were about 800 blind persons registered in the employment exchanges of the state, the number of registered unemployed orthopaedically handicapped and deaf and dumb persons runs into thousands (approximately 15,000 orthopaedically handicapped and 6,000 deaf and dumb), according to Mr Saini. He said the meeting, called to mobilise all categories of handicapped voters, was expected to take place on April 18. Mr Saini said while the ruling Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) of Haryana had done little for the visually handicapped persons, members of the sangh were neither in a mood to embrace the opposition parties. Parties would be asked to spell out their policies on recruitment of handicapped persons if they wanted their votes, Mr Saini said and added that a more comprehensive strategy to make the political parties hear the voice of the disabled persons would be drawn up during the meeting with the other groups. Mr Saini said he was confident that the proposed alliance of disable persons would come through. “We might put up a candidate at the time of the Vidhan Sabha elections”, he said. “The deaf and dumb had already lent their support to the agitation being carried out by the sangh. About 200 deaf and dumb volunteers had turned up in our support but we asked them to return because it was not possible for us to feed so many people”, Mr Saini claimed. The agitation, launched by the sangh in September, demanding recruitment of visually handicapped persons by the state government, is consistently drawing participation from blind people from across the state. |

Opposition parties spreading rumours, says Sampat
Fatehabad, April 10 Mr Sampat Singh said it was ridiculous that none of the opposition parties in the state had yet been able to finalise its candidates for the coming parliamentary poll but the parties were spreading rumours about the possibilities of changes in the candidates of the ruling INLD that had already announced all its candidates. He advised these parties to first try to resolve their own difference and finalise candidates for various constituencies rather than spreading rumours about INLD candidates. |

Arhtiyas resent slow lifting of wheat Kaithal, April 10 The Deputy Commissioner, Mr Anurag Aggarwal said due to sudden heavy arrival of wheat in a short period the problem had cropped up. He said he had asked the SDM, Mr Sanjay Rai, and the DFSC to expedite the lifting and clearing of the accumulated stocks. During a visit to the old grain market here today some commission agents revealed that the wheat purchased on April 3 and 4 has not been lifted till now. Mr Sham Bahadur Khurania, mandi president told the reporter that the stitching of packed bags was going on a snail’s pace and the contractors have failed to deploy sufficient staff in this regard. Some commission agents said to expedite the lifting process they would have to pay an additional amount of Rs 300-400 per round to rehra owners, who have been put on the job by the labour contractor. Similarly, the commission agents at the new grain market too were sore over the slow lifting of the wheat procured by all four procurement agencies, FCI, DFSC, Confed and Hafed. According to information, they expressed resentment to the local MLA, Mr Leela Ram, and Mr Naranjan Dass Bansal, Chairman, Haryana Warehousing Corporation, who visited the commission agents today to invite them for a meeting to be addressed by Mr Abhey Chautala. The additional amount of Rs 400-500 per round to rehra owners to expedite the lifting was an additional burden on them, they added. |
