Mussoorie BJP hails party’s manifesto released in Delhi
Mussoorie, April 7 On the other hand, the Congress workers reacting to the manifesto released by the BJP termed it as a distant dream and mere eyewash and full of divisive policy that could endanger the secular fabric of the country. The former president of Municipal Council, BJP leader from Mussoorie OP
Uniyal, hailing the manifesto said that it was a document prepared after detailed discussions and contained a vision to take the country on the path of good governance and development in the next five years. He further said that the manifesto touched all the issues related to housing for the poor, health, economic progress and ways the government will go forward in providing employment for the poor.
Uniyal, being critical of Congress, on the other hand has only believed in advertising its manifesto but not implementing it. The manifesto released today by BJP was an honest attempt to bring the country on the path of development. However, the Congress leaders in the town termed this document as mere eyewash. Anuj Gupta the Youth Congress, president from
Mussoorie, said that the manifesto was just a bundle of lies and the nefarious designs of dividing the people by including the clauses such as construction of Ram Janma Bhoomi temple and uniform civil code have been included which was dangerous for a secular country like India. He further said that BJP was promising the moon to the innocent voters of the country but the people were gullible, and ''I would give a befitting reply in the Lok Sabha elections by opting for Congress once again and rejecting the divisive policies of
BJP.'' The social activist Pradeep Bhandari, being critical of both Congress and
BJP, said that the election manifesto released by the various parties had lost their relevance. Most parties promise stars and moon during the election but when it comes to implementation they have readymade excuses for not doing so. Every political party promises moon at election time but after the elections, such documents only bite the dust in the party office with the average voter remaining ignorant in the matter. Comparing the manifesto of Congress and
BJP, Bhandari said that the Congress promises a new right to health along with creating 100 more jobs for the youth. However, it has failed to deliver on its promises made during the previous elections, thus putting a question mark on the relevance of such documents. On the other hand the
BJP, in its manifesto, released today promises to curb inflation, increase employment, entrepreneurship and bring back black money in foreign accounts and tackle policy paralysis but the party has not fulfilled such promises in the past, said Pradeep
Bhandari. |

Madan Kaushik vows to work for victory of all BJP candidates
Haridwar, April 7 By entrusting him the major responsibility of election in-charge for all five parliamentary seats of the state, the party high command made it sure that his services are utilised and rumours of his defection to Congress are also put to an end. Since day one when on March 15, Nishank was named party candidate from Haridwar seat, fear of infighting was looming large for the ex-CM,as Kaushik supporters came out in the open against the ticket allocation. Kaushik's absence during the election campaign was hurting prospects of Nishank as a large number of legislator supporters either were remaining absent or were not actively taking part in the
campaign. Madan Kaushik since then remained confined in his house alienating himself from all party activities. He did not even attend party election state in charge Uma Bharati's meeting, which forced Nishank to personally convince Kaushik. State BJP president Teerath Singh Rawat also paid a visit to Kaushik's Khanna Nagar residence, which made Kaushik attend a road show of Nishank .But thereafter Kaushik again remained invisible with a leaked audio tape cornering him into a controversy in which he purportedly urged party workers to cast for Bahujan Samaj Party as he had been denied ticket for the second consecutive time. State Election Commission has served a notice to Kaushik in this regard, though in his reply the legislator alleged editing was done on his voice to malign his image. Two days ago Nishank called on Kaushik at his Khanna residence, where both the leaders had a closed-door meeting for 45 minutes. Party sources said that it was herein that Nishank offered Kaushik a bigger role in the party as state coordinator of BJP election campaign committee. Today Madan Kaushik refuted rumours of his joining Congress while speaking at his residence. Kaushik made it clear that his differences over ticket issue is a thing of the past and now he will work as dedicated party worker for all the five party candidates, including Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, from Haridwar. The three-time Haridwar city legislator said that due to Narendra Modi wave the party is sure to win all the five parliamentary seats of the hill state, Pauri Garhwal, Tehri Garhwal, Almora-Pithoragarh, Nainital and Haridwar. ''Every party worker and voter wants BJP at the helm so that Modi can become prime minister of India and change fortunes. So, it is our duty to work hard to ensure victory of all BJP candidates so that Mission 272 plus is achieved. Congress ruled for 60 years, now it is time that Modi be given 60 months to give development-oriented, corruption-free governance,'' he added. He also termed the speculations of his joining Congress, resigning from city segment and contesting on Congress ticket against Nishank as baseless and being spread to malign his image by Opposition. While Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank said that he did not want to contest elections, it was the decision of the party high command to field all three CMs from the state as the party wanted all five seats from Uttarakhand. "Kaushik ji is a seasoned politician and understands the complexities of the need of the hour.His experience will now be utilised along with Munna Singh Chauhan's in all the five Lok Sabha seats of the state,which will ensure victory for the party,"said Nishank on the sidelines of addressing a public gathering. |

Women complain of inadequate representation in polls
Pithoragarh, April 7 Kamal Devi, a resident of Lohaghat, said there was not even one women degree college or women hospital in the district. Another women said all parties wanted women to attend their public meetings in large numbers. However, the same enthusiasm was not reflected while ensuring that enough number of women represent their respective parties . When asked which party they would vote for in the ensuing elections, the women said the party that was capable of checking atrocities on women, providing infrastructural facilities for the fairer sex like hospitals and educational institutions and that would raise voice against the menace of liquor that was ruining their domestic life would be their top choice. Gita Joshi, a homemaker and resident of Champawat, said," We want adequate representation of women in the organisational set up of all political parties.” Mahila Samakhaya Champawat unit in charge Bhagwati Pandey said despite the worshipping of a woman as “devi”, society had failed to restore their dignity and a number of women faced violence in one form or the other everyday. “Male members of Parliament have also failed to do anything concrete in this direction," said said Bhagwati Pandey. While Tulsi Sharma advocated the opening of more women hospitals in the district, Gita Joshi said more educational institutions should be opened for women as only education could make a difference in this direction. |

CPI (M) holds roadshows
Dehradun, April 7 Urging the voters to support the party in the forthcoming elections, Devli said that both Congress and BJP had the same ideology of supporting business tycoons and corporate houses. “Both the parties have failed to address the problem of the people who voted them to power. The deterioration of the country is due to the devastative policies of both the parties,” he said. The people of Uttarakhand are well versed with the ''corrupt practises'' of both Congress and BJP. Both the parties are not an option for each other. This time the people should choose CPI (M), a party that has listened and resolved their grievances since the last 35 years,” said Devli. In yet another public meeting organised at Kanwli, Comrade Vijay Rawat said that the policies adopted by the Congress and BJP has given birth to widespread corruption, inflation and unemployment. Those who were part of the meeting included Arjun Singh Rawat, Anant Akash, Babita, Meenu Dogra, Suji Chahaun and Sahadullah. |

Harak Rawat likely to be Cong candidate from Pauri
Dehradun, April 7 It is also expected that Saket Bahuguna, son of former Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna, will contest from Tehri Garhwal. Earlier, there was a tussle between Chief Minister Harish Rawat and Bahuguna on the seat. Harish Rawat wanted Bahuguna to contest from Tehri Garhwal as he was considered a stronger candidate than his son Saket. However, Bahuguna wanted his son to contest from the seat. Suspense continues on the Haridwar seat which was represented by Chief Minister Harish Rawat. Earlier, it was expected that Renuka, wife of Harish Rawat, will be the party candidate. However, now rumours of fielding a senior Central leader from the Haridwar seat are doing the rounds. According to party sources, resentment among various senior leaders has led to the delay. Harish Rawat has left for New Delhi to finalise the candidates for the remaining three seats Before going to New Delhi for consultations with the party high command, Harish Rawat compounded the confusion by stating that a member of his family would be the last choice from the Haridwar seat. However, he admitted that the delay was against the party's interest in the elections. Already, the BJP candidates had finished the first round of their campaigning in the state. |

Over 1 lakh govt employees have potential to tilt the balance
Dehradun, April 7 In that sense over one l lakh employees and 80,000 teachers are expected to tilt the scales in favour of the party that has fulfilled their demands and the Congress government seems to have come good on the expectations of this section. Now at the time of voting, it remains to be seen if the employees redeem the goodwill in the form of votes in all the five parliamentary constituencies. ''Every political party promises the moon to woo the employees and the ruling Congress Party in Uttarakhand learnt a hard lesson in 2012, when its government was brought to its knees by the striking employees who wanted reservation in promotions to go. Ignoring the agitation launched by the state government employees against reservations in promotions proved costly for former CM Vijay Bahuguna in 2012, whose son lost the by elections from Tehri,'' said Jay Singh Rawat, senior journalist and political analyst. At that point of time, the angry state government employees had threatened to teach Congress government a lesson and the results were all there to see. Learning from the mistakes, the Bahuguna government quickly mended fences with the employees. It went ahead and announced a status quo on the issue of reservation in promotions by appointing a one-man commission to look into the issue, 10 per cent DA to the employees and then went ahead and issued directives for restructuring of the state secretariat staff, which in one move led to the creation of 22 sections and around 235 posts. ''The employees are already reaping the benefits of these announcements and have no reason to grudge. This move together with the hike in DA endeared the Congress government to the employees,'' added Rawat. Political analysts say over one lakh employees working in the state government utilities and the secretariat and also around 80,000 teachers have a penchant for voting en-mass and could play a big role in these elections.

Doon DM fails to turn up for review meeting in Mussoorie
Mussoorie, April 7 SDM Mussoorie said that the DM was supposed to take the meeting but had to cancel it due to other prior engagements in the district. The issue of installation of traffic lights at Picture Palace as discussed in the previous meeting cropped up first where the Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority (MDDA) Executive Engineer Shyam Mohan Sharma displayed his helplessness at installing the traffic lights due to the model code of conduct in place in the state. He further said that the traffic lights can be placed only after the tendering process which could take more than two months to materialise. The residents also apprised the SDM, Mussoorie, about the menace of stray dogs that have resulted grievous injuries to people in the past one year and demanded immediate respite from it through concrete action.SDM Mussoorie directed the MC officials to begin the exercise of sterilisation of the stray dogs without any delay. On the issue of street vendors the social activist Megh Singh Kandari said that the new law enacted by Parliament on street vendors should be taken into consideration while implementing the policy of identification of the spot from where the street vendors can earn their living. BP Bhatt, the trade union leader, said that the town could not do without taking into account the interests of the labourers and workers serving in various commercial establishments in the town. The SDM Mussoorie also discussed the ways to implement traffic plan prior to the tourist season to streamline the flow of vehicles during tourist season. The social activist Ajay Uniyal said that the municipal council should waive the fee at the two Mall Road barriers to provide relief to the local population here. In response, SDM Mussoorie said that he would be consulting all stake holders before chalking out any policy in the matters discussed here. The issue of drinking water supply also cropped up in the meeting where the spokesperson of Mussoorie Hotels' Association, Sandeep Sahni, resented the blame game exercise being carried out by two concerned departments, namely electricity and Jal Sansthan, even before the start of the tourist season. He requested the SDM to sort out the matter in order to ensure adequate drinking supply in the town. The issues of solid waste, management, tourism and renting of municipal council properties etc were also discussed in the meeting but no decision could be reached due to absence of the officials from concerned departments in the meeting. The residents of the town aired their dissatisfaction at the absence of the officials from such important meetings, rendering the whole exercise futile by calling such meetings. The CO, Mussoorie, Jaya Baloni,EO, Muncipal Council, Azhar Ali, and others were present on the occasion. |

Student leaders defend their supporters caught cheating in examinations
Dehradun, April 7 A couple of days ago, some students were caught cheating in a BCom exam and were handed over to the police. However, the police had to release them after issuing a warning owing to the pressure exerted by some student leaders. DAV college Principal Devendra Bhasin said student leaders exerted undue pressure on the college management after their supporters were caught cheating in exams. “We have experienced in the past that student leaders try to pressurise the college management to protest their supporters," Devendra Bhasin said. However, the president of the DAV PG College Student Union, Siddharth Rana, said," I do not support the students who use unfair means in exams and the college should take action against such students," “Over 100 students have been caught cheating this year and their case reports have been sent to the Unfair Means Cell of Garhwal University. The university will decide the future course of action," said Devendra Bhasin.

Public reps meet CS on delay in road construction in Jaunpur
Mussoorie, April 7 The MLA Dhanaulti Mahavir Rangad speaking to The Tribune said that he along with the affected villagers raised the issue of delay in the construction work for the two roads, Masrana-Kimoi and Thatyur Kempty, that has been pending due to the apathy of various concerned departments for the last past 60 years, forcing them to live under immense hardship here. He said the chief secretary must direct the officials to seek environment clearance from the Ministry of Environment for these two roads without any further delay and end the woes of the villagers permanently. Rangad further said that the CS flayed the officials for not pursuing the matter effectively and keeping it pending all these years. Rangad demanded from the government that for the road falling under Rajaji National Park, the wildlife Acts be amended in such a way that the bottlenecks surfacing in the whole process are removed so that the project can begin without any delay in larger interest of the villagers. The DFO Mussoorie Dheeraj Pandey, who was also present in the meeting, said that the proposal for Masrana-Kimoi has been sent to the state wildlife board but as no meeting of the said board has been conducted in the past six months, the matter was still at the pending stage. Speaking about the other road construction project he said that the proposal has been sent to the nodal officer who will be sending it to the Ministry of Environment for further clearance soon. It is worth mentioning the villagers of the area had called for boycott of Lok Sabha elections if their demands were not met. |

Paucity of space delays setting up of referral centre in Doon
Dehradun, April 7 The Social Welfare Department was allocated around Rs 36 lakh to establish the state referral centre with the help of the Health Department . “The Department of Social Welfare was to provide the state-of-the-art equipment to the hospital earmarked by the Department of Health and then entrust the responsibility of running of the centre with the hospital. The allocation of space at the hospital is proving to be troublesome.
"We have a limited space and cannot meet the specifications for the state referral centre, which will have a physiotherapy and a testing centre for the disabled. During a discussion with officials of the Social Welfare Department, we were told that the funds could only be used to purchase equipment and no extra
construction could be carried out. The matter is still under consideration," said Dr Bharti
Rana, CMS, Coronation Hospital. Many a times, the disabled and several social activists had demanded the setting up of a state referral unit in the past. "The establishment of the referral centre has

Ex-servicemen for rollback of excise duty on liquor in CSD
Dehradun, April 7 In a press note issued here, league president Brig KG Behl (retd) said the ex-servicemen had been demanding the rollback of the hike for long. “The hike was effected to reduce the rates of liquor in civil by reducing 20 per cent VAT on liquor and increase 20 per cent excise duty to generate more revenue. The purpose was to check the smuggling of liquor from the adjoining states, where the rates were less. However, the fact that the increase in CSD rates will again lead to smuggling was not probably considered, which is happening now," he added. “It is requested that the increase be rolled back to normalise the situation. It has generally been noticed that the officials concerned do not pay any attention to people until they take to the streets and protest.
The state government should not expect the ex-servicemen to do the same as we are disciplined body and always helpful to them. This point has been raised a number of times at different platforms, but no action has been taken so far,” he added. |
