IndiaVotes 2014
Dehradun, April 4 Harish Rawat who had gone to New Delhi to get the list of the party candidates finalised after consultation with the party high command returned to Dehradun last evening empty-handed following a rift between the two leaders on fielding their next of kin in the elections. While the BJP had announced its candidates last month and their party candidates had covered a lot of ground in campaigning in their respective constituencies, Uttarakhand Congress leaders are still slugging it out to reach a consensus on candidates. According to party sources, the names of two sitting MPs, Pardeep Tamta from Almora (reserve) and KC Singh Baba from Nainital, have been finalied. After the defection of Satpal Maharaj to the BJP, the Congress has reportedly decided to field another former Army General to take on BJP candidate BC Khanduri from the Pauri Garhwal seat. The name of Lt Gen Gambhir Singh Negi (retd) , a former Commandant of the Indian Military Academy (IMA), who was also a former chairman of the State Public Service Commission, has been finalised from the Pauri Garhwal seat. However, the tussle between Harish Rawat and Vijay Bahuguna over fielding their kin has delayed the announcements of the names on all five seats. According to party sources, Harish Rawat wanted former Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna to contest from the Tehri Garhwal seat. But Vijay Bahuguna is not keen to contest but wants his son Saket Bahuguna to be fielded. Saket Bahuguna had contested the 2012 Tehri Garhwal byelection after his father quit on his elevation as Chief Minister after the Assembly polls of Januray 2012. Saket Bahuguna lost the elections to Mala Raj Luxmi Shah of BJP. While the party high command has also reportedly put pressure on Vijay Bahuguna to contest, he has remained adamant on his demand. Meanwhile, the party also started considering other names from the seat. On the other hand, Harish Rawat is keen to field his wife Renuka Rawat from Haridwar seat represented by him. This was resented by Vijay Bahuguna, who reportedly argued that since his son is not being given the ticket, so on the same analogy, the kith or kin of Chief Minister Harish Rawat should also not be considered. This has created a piquant situation for the party leadership and delayed the announcement of all five seats. In case the party decides to ignore the kith or kin of both these leaders, then other senior leaders from these constituencies could be named. From Haridwar seat, already the names of Ambrish Kumar, a former legislator who recently re-joined Congress, and Chaudhary Rajinder Singh could be considered. The names of Congress legislator from Vikasnagar Navprabhat and former Tehri legislator Kishore Updhaya are also in the reckoning. It was believed that if both these leaders reach an understanding, then Saket Bahuguna from Tehri Garhwal and Renuka Rawat from Haridwar will be declared as party candidates. |

Left parties losing strength
Dehradun, April 4 The Left party and Uttarakhand share a long history. Home to PC Joshi, the first general secretary of the Communist Party of India (CPI) in the country, Uttarakhand had been under the influence of Left even during the pre-independence days. The Left connected with Uttarakhand region and it could be gauged from the fact that the Left personalities were instrumental in making the people of Tehri stand against the tyrannical Tehri royalty. Further, the hero of famous 1930 Peshwar incident, Garhwal Rifles Army man Veer Chandra Singh
Garhwali, who disobeyed the British order to fire on Pathans during the freedom movement, subsequently became an active member of the Left and contested Lok Sabha elections twice on CPI ticket from Garhwal Lok Sabha. Though he lost, but he gave a formidable opposition to Congress MP
Bhaktdarshan. Starting from PC Joshi and Veer Chandra Singh Saklani, the late Left party leaders like Nagendra
Saklani, Molu Bhardari, Govind Singh Negi and Vidhysagar Nautiyal always stood for the cause of a common man in Uttarakhand region. The Left also had an electoral success from Tehri region. But, the Left party failed to give an MP to the Lok Sabha from
Uttarakhand. It had MLAs in the then Uttar Pradesh Assembly from the region.
Govind Singh Negi was elected as the MLA from Tehri Assembly on two occasions and Vidhysagar Nautiyal was elected rom Deoprayag Assembly constituency only once. As far as the general elections are concerned, in 1977 general elections, the CPI polled 11.08 of the total polled votes in Tehri constituency. In 1980 Lok Sabha elections, CPI’s Vidhysagar Nautiyal polled a commendable 26.53 per cent of the total polled votes and stood second in Tehri Parliamentary constituency. In 1989, CPI’s Kamla Ram Nautiyal polled 86,000 votes, which was 20.04 per cent of the total votes polled in Tehri constituency and stood runners up. With the passage of time, the Left parties were on the decline. In 1999, CPI’s Vidhysagar Nautiyal again contested from Tehri Lok Sabha seat and polled just 16,631 votes that were 3.44 per cent of the total votes polled in the constituency. The downslide could not be checked as in 2004 general elections the CPI and the CPI (M) entered into alliance and contested for Tehri and Pauri Lok Sabha seat. The CPI (ML) on the other hand contested from
Almora, Nainital and Pauri Lok Sabha seats. The Left parties in total could muster a total of 26,363 votes in the state. CPI (ML)
Sushma, who contested for Almora-Pithrogarh seat got 5,410 votes, Lalita Prasad Bhatt form CPI, who contested for Pauri Garhwal seat bagged 7,633 votes and Indresh Maikhuri from CPI (ML) got 5,962 votes in Pauri Garhwal seat. Even in the Assembly elections, the Left parties fared badly. After the formation of the state, the CPI in 2002, 2007 and 2012 Assembly elections, bagged 0.84 per cent, 0.23 per cent and 0.21 per cent votes respectively. Similarly, the CPI (M) bagged 0.30, 0.25 and 0.27 votes in 2002, 2007 and 2012 Assembly elections respectively. The Left parties bagged less than 1 per cent vote in both 2004 and 2009 parliamentary elections, amply revealing its electoral decline in
Uttarakhand. Bleak future? Left parties in Uttarakhand today face a formidable challenge in protecting their electoral relevance in
the hill state, where their total polled votes percentage has touched less than 1 in the last
two parliamentary elections. |

Almora residents want right to recall inactive MPs
Pithoragarh April 4 Some eminent residents said the MP should not only have the knowledge of local issues and priorities but also of matters of contemporary international significance. “He should have the capacity to work for the welfare of local people keeping the national and international trends in mind,” said Prakash Joshi, former chairman of the Almora Nagar Palika Parishad. Sunita Pandey, a leading advocate of the town, said the MP should be broadminded and have the ability to understand the problems of women in his or her constituency. “The MP should think and act above the caste, religion and regional lines. He should be able to understand and resolve the problems of all voters,” said Sunita. Chandra Singh Bankoti, retired principal of a government college, said the MP should advocate standardization of the education system as varied systems were creating confusion in society. “The MP should also continuously try for qualitative changes in the government education system so that poor people could also provide good education to their wards,” said Bankoti. Some residents of Almora town said the MPLAD funds should be scrapped and instead money should be spent carefully for building public infrastructure. “The MP should also be able to provide employment opportunities to the youths in his constituency.” said Nirmala Chauhan, another advocate. |

CPI (M) candidate: Cong, BJP
two sides of the same coin
Dehradun, April 4 Addressing a public rally at Sahaspur, Devli said that claims being made by both the parties as representatives of the common man are completely false. ''For favouring the corporate houses and business tycoons, the BJP and Congress have developed such policies that are destructive for the common man. The policies that were introduced by the BJP during their tenure, 10 years ago have been adopted by the Congress in their regime,'' he added. ''In Uttarakhand, BJP should not be an option for Congress. It is very important for the people to understand that both the parties are in the same boat. Therefore, the voters should favour third option, which is CPI (M). From the past 35 years the party has always remained with the people and toiled hard to implement the people-friendly policies,'' added Devli. Those who were part of the gathering included Kammruddin, Udhav Baluni, Yassen and Saffuddin along with
several others.

Almora candidate Ajay Tamta sure of BJP's victory this time
Pithoragarh, April 4 Addressing a gathering at the Someshwar market, the BJP candidate urged people to give him another chance to serve them in a better way. He said the country would have to get rid of the corrupt practices of the Congress. Ajay Tamta said during his campaigning in the past few days, he came across several people who were repenting giving mandate to the Congress candidate last time. The BJP candidate said this time he was sure of his historical victory. He further said people were not satisfied with the working of Congress MP Pradeep Tamta and also complained that the MP was never available whenever his services were required. The election campaign of Ajay Tamta officially started last week when the BJP named him the candidate from the Almora seat. On the other hand, the Congress is yet to announce its candidate. “It's strange that how the Congress that is yet to announce its candidate will manage its campaign,” said Ajay
Tamta. Earlier, during his campaign at the Syaldey market yesterday, where Ajay Tamta was accompanied by Leader of the Opposition in state Assembly Ajay
Bhatt, the latter said the Congress was perplexed as many of its senior leaders were shifting loyalties to the
BJP. “This clearly indicates that the BJP will come to power at the Centre this time, " added the BJP candidate.

Husband’s past catches up with SP candidate
Haridwar, April 4 Jitendra Saini, who was till recently a BJP worker and district cooperative society chairperson of the Roorkee block, is currently on bail granted by the Supreme Court. The murder case was registered in early 90s, when Jitendra was in college and in a property dispute was charged for murder along with his brother and a relative. Anita said as her husband had been granted bail in the case and they had filed an appeal in the Supreme Court, no one could label him as a murderer till the apex court’s final decision comes. “Jitendraji has been working for BJP for the past 30 years and served in various capacities in the party cadre and also as chairperson of cooperative society. His role has been instrumental in making me three time village head from Mohammedpur Panda and also as chairperson of Cooperative Society of Roorkee block. He is quite popular among local people and that’s why Mulayam Singh Yadav ji gave me ticket to contest from the prestigious Haridwar seat,” Anita told The Tribune. Anita seemed confident of replicating the party’s feat in the 14th Lok Sabha election when party candidate Rajendra Badi won from Haridwar Lok Sabha seat. “I have been village head thrice and BJP Mahila Morcha secretary also. I belong to the Saini community, which has a sizeable presence in the constituency. The party’s traditional vote of minority and Dalits is also there. Hence I am confident of victory,” said Anita. SP city president Sonal Prince, who initially objected to Anita Saini’s candidature, said that as its decision of party high command so all the party workers will have to abide with this
decision. Sonal made it clear that the candidate could still be changed as a section of party leaders were in touch with Uttarakhand party president Satya Narayan Sachan and national general secretary Prof Ram Gopal
Verma. The BJP, the AAP, the Congress and the Uttarakhand Kranti Dal have started raising the issue.
BJP district president Kuldeep Gupta said those who speak of following the Samajwad ideology have been exposed as they have allotted the ticket on just basis of money funding. Gupta said Anita was just a puppet while all his work was done by her husband who was known for money and muscle power in
Roorkee. Aam Aadmi Party district coordinator JP Baduni said that only their candidate Kanchan Roy Bhattacharya is a clean one among all the declared candidates so far from Haridwar constituency.

Migration from hills major poll issue for UKD (Aeri) group
Mussoorie, April 4 Upadhyaya, lambasting both the national parties Congress and BJP, said that the politicians from these two parties had failed the people of the state with their anti-people policies. He further said that both parties in the name of development have misled the people and have resorted to selling the resources of the state in connivance with the land and forest mafia. “The aspirations of the people who agitated for the separate state have not been met since its inception and both BJP and Congress are solely responsible for it,'' said Upadhyaya. He also said that the condition of the region that suffered during the natural disaster of last year is still critical but both BJP and Congress are resorting to unnecessary bickering on the issue. Upadhyaya, outlining his objectives if elected by the people from Tehri Lok Sabha said that he would primarily work towards ensuring that the
people receive their due share of electricity and water, which is being sold to the private companies by the two national parties in the state. The patron of the party BD Raturi speaking on the occasion said that UKD(Aeri) will field its candidate from all five Lok Sabha seats in the state while the name for other two seats will be announced soon. He also said that the party would emerge as an effective alternative to both Congress and BJP and work in accordance with the aspirations of the people of the state for which it was formed in first place. When questioned about the infighting among various factions in UKD Raturi said that the efforts were on to remove all those people who have been instrumental in the disintegration of the party and bring all factions under one banner and contest election as a unified force in the
forthcoming elections. UKD(Aeri)coordinator Nathilal Semwal, co-cordinator Dharmendar Kathait,Ramkishan Jugran, Sahdev Bisht,Asha Sharma and others on the occasion. While the UKD (Aeri) group was busy addressing at the press conference, being held at Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam restaurant in Mussoorie, the Election Commission officials reached the spot and served notice to the leaders for violating the model code of conduct by calling a political meeting in government property. Nayab Thesildar who had arrived at the spot with a police force said that the political leaders were found with garlands used for political activities in their possession forcing them to take action in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the Election Commission. The UKD leaders who said that they were here for a sip of coffee and snacks resented the claims of the officials vehemently. Jaiprakash Upadhyaya, the Lok Sabha candidate from Tehri, said it was no crime to have a cup of coffee in the government restaurant and if that too was not
permissible then such government restaurants should be closed during the elections. He also said that the
party would give an adequate reply once it receives the notice from the EC. He termed the whole incident as conspiracy of BJP and Congress.

Directed and scripted by Shubhdarshini Singh and based on Ruskin Bond's stories, ''Ek Tha Rusty II'' is a continuation of season I where Rusty has moved onto the late sixties. Ruskin Bond's novellas and short stories like ''The Sensualist; Hanging at the Mountain Top'' and ''Time stops at Shamli'' have been brought to life by Bhanu Uday who plays the lead role as Rusty and Inspector Keemat Lal by Ayub Khan who shows his amazing flair for comedy, a talent untapped. This new season with fresh stories, fresh faces and lots of excitement, murders, serial killers, heartbreak and a surprise ending to season 2 is a must-watch, said director Subdharshini Singh. She further said that the series is different from others as it is the only series in Indian television with male dominated characters and this period drama is a humble attempt to bring to life the author’s life in the late 60s to the silver screen. Subdharshini Singh also informed the media persons that that the series shot on outdoor locations in Mussoorie and the hills of Garhwal, forms the background of most of the stories with the unit setting up camp for the next 4 weeks in the hill station's old bungalows and hotels. However, aggrieved with the old heritage buildings giving way for new but less attractive structures in the town, she said that the efforts should be encouraged towards keeping the old look of the buildings intact, so that it becomes unique selling point for the tourists and filmmakers arriving in the town. “Although it was difficult but I have tried to stick to the storyline as written by the great Ruskin Bond while adapting it for the television,” said Subdharshini Singh. Ayub Khan, playing the character of Keemat Lal, an inspector who has big dreams about himself, said that he was delighted to be attached with the series from the past 14 years. Shooting in Mussoorie is always a memorable experience and he looks forward to visiting the town whenever possible. Speaking about the series, he said that it is a great opportunity for those who have not read Ruskin Bond to watch his stories on television screen. |

No check on wrong parking in Har-ki-Pauri area
Haridwar, April 4 In the absence of any check, two-wheelers and four-wheelers could be seen parked in the zero parking area. Although the authorities claimed to have imposed strict traffic restrictions in the core mela zone, they seem to be only on paper. Several social and religious organisations have also taken up the issue with the SSP, the District Magistrate, the Mukhya Nagar Adhikari and Ganga Sabha office-bearers on several occasions, but in vain. Har-ki-Pauri police in charge Mohan Singh admitted that parking was not allowed in the area. Only police vehicles were allowed. However, due to pressure from local traders in the absence of any authorised parking lot in the Upper Bazaar side, people park their vehicles near the police post building. SP, City, Surjeet Singh Pawar said since that the matter had been brought to his notice, he would discuss the same with the officials concerned and take steps to ensure that no devotee or commuter faced inconvenience due to haphazard parking. |
