police encounter in Gautam Buddh Nagar district and his accomplice Sonu was

establish rule of law by the law and had issued detailed instructions to the
police officers from time to time.
The Chief
Minister, on coming to power, had assured of the people of the State that the
criminals would be put behind the bars. The State police has achieved
remarkable success against criminals by launching an extensive drive against
them during the last one year. Ten notorious criminals were killed last week in

Police was
successful in recovering fake currency about worth Rs. 1.56 crore this year.
The STF also unearthed a nexus between fake currency distributors and laid bare
the involvement of a bank cashier of Dumariaganj, Siddharthnagar in fake currency racket. The police came to
know about his involvement in this activity through an arrest made in July. The
officers of the Reserve Bank recovered fake currency worth Rs. 4.2 crore from
the currency chest during their raid on bank premises. Besides, the Reserve
Bank authorities also recovered fake Indian currency from other banks.
On the
directives of the Chief Minister, an extensive drive to check the activities of
police personnel, was carried out. It also aimed to discipline the erring
policemen, so that the entire police set up could be made responsible and
clean. As many as 188 policemen were expelled from the services this year and
3895 policemen were suspended. Owing to strict control, the number of incidents
of accused fleeing from the police custody has come down this year. The police
has also been vigilant towards the cases of human rights and owing to it the
complaints being received from National Human Rights Commission had come down
notably. The number of custodial deaths had also come down as only 3 such
deaths were reported till November 15 this year, while 11 such deaths were
reported in 2007 and 6 incidents were reported 2006.

CM lays foundation of 49
schemes worth Rs. 948.98 crore

of Varanasi and Kannauj
Foundation of schemes more
than
Rs. 800 crore for Varanasi and Rs. 148
crore for Kannauj laid
Heritage Plan of Varanasi to be completed
in next 6 months
Lucknow : 20 December 2008
The
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Ms. Mayawati, while laying the foundation of
schemes worth Rs. 948.98 crore for the all-round development of Varanasi and Kannauj,
said that urban regeneration was the top priority of her Government. She said
that during one and a half year long tenure of her Government several important
steps had been taken in this direction. These steps included schemes for the
all-round development of Vrindavan, which is an important tourist place and
laying the foundation of schemes worth Rs. 250 crore on the 6th
August last for providing basic facilities to the poor sections of the society.
She expressed the hope that along with the common people the tourists would
also be benefited by these schemes. She laid foundation of 28 schemes costing more
than Rs. 800 crore for Varanasi
and 21 schemes costing more than Rs. 148 crore for Kannauj.
Addressing
a function organised at her 5-Kalidas Marg official residence here today for
laying the foundation of these schemes, she said that financial arrangements
had been made for these schemes. She said that the previous governments made
only announcements, but never issued financial sanctions in time, that was the
reason why most of the schemes were confined to paper only. She said that her
Government always honoured its words. She directed the Chief Secretary, Cabinet
Secretary and Additional Cabinet Secretary to monitor these schemes besides
monitoring schemes announced for Mathura-Vrindavan, so that these schemes could
be completed within stipulated time. She said that the Chairman of the State
Advisory Council Mr. Satish Chandra Mishra would review the progress of these
schemes from time to time and apprise her of their progress. She said that
time-bound implementation of development schemes was the top priority of the
Government and any laxity in it would invite tough action against the guilty.
She said that the State Government, despite its limited resources, wanted to
carry out all round development of important cities of the State. She said that
the Government had demanded Rs. 80,000 crore package from the Centre for the
all round development of the State, but the Centre had not provided even a
single penny so far.
Ms.
Mayawati said that the State Government had decided to develop Varanasi as an international tourist spot. It
has also decided to develop the Buddhist Circuit. Besides, the State Government
also intends to provide high quality infrastructure and community services to
the people of Varanasi.
With this objective, the foundation of flyovers, construction/repair/widening/ strengthening/beautification
of roads, drinking water supply, sewerage, drainage system, solid waste
management, improvement in the power supply of the historical places etc.
costing Rs. 800.68 crore had been laid. She said that on the February 21 last,
on the occasion of Sant Ravidas Jayanti, she had announced several
developmental works for the Varanasi
district, besides completion of works announced by previous governments had also
been ordered in a time-bound and qualitative manner. She said that all these
projects were going on full swing.
Elaborating
upon the important decisions taken for the development of Varanasi,
the C.M. said that action had been initiated on the Heritage Plan of Varanasi
so that it could be developed as an International Heritage and TouristCity and also to keep its mythological
character intact. The Heritage Plan would be completed in the next six months. The
State Government, with a view to preserving the world famous zari work, had decided to place zari craftsmen along side the weavers
for power dues. She further said that directives had been issued to invite
financial bids for the construction of multi-level underground car parking
projects at Beniabagh, Shaheed Udhyan and Maidagin on
public-private-partnership (PPP) basis costing Rs. 142 crore so that the
traffic system of Varanasi could be improved.
Ms.
Mayawati said that she had laid foundation of various schemes costing more than
Rs. 148 crore for the development of Kannauj so that the lost glory of this
place could be restored. She reminded that Kannauj was made a district on 18
September 1997 during her second tenure. She had formulated various schemes for
the all round development of Kannauj at that time, but she didn’t get much time
to translate them into reality. She said that now those development schemes
were being launched again and after their completion the people of Kannauj
would get a lot of facilities. She said that the M.P. elected from Kannauj had
also ignored his constituency.
It may
be recalled that during 2008-09 the Government launched development schemes on
a large scale for the all-round development of the State. Under it, Rs. 396
crore schemes for Agra, Rs. 250 crore schemes
for Vrindavan-Mathura, Rs. 170 crore schemes for Lucknow have been included. Besides, the
Chief Minister inaugurated/laid foundation/announced 48 schemes worth Rs. 8,500
crore on May 13 last on the completion of one year of the present Government. The
State Government has set a target of construction of 1,01,000 houses under the
Manyawar Shri Kanshiram Ji Shahari Garib Awas Yojana to provide two room houses
to the urban poor living below the poverty line for the current financial year.
An amount of Rs. 1800 crore had been sanctioned for the purpose.
The
Chief Secretary Mr. Atul Kumar Gupta thanked the Chief Minister and the guests.
Several
members of the U.P. Council of Ministers, Chairman U.P. State Advisory Council
Mr. Satish Chandra Mishra, Cabinet Secretary Mr. Shashank Shekhar Singh and a
large number of senior officers were present on the occasion.

Maya makes a clarion call for Aboriginal Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath unity
Mayawati waving to supporters at the Sarvajan Samaj Brotherhood Maha Rally, held in Kottayam.
KOTTAYAM:
Presenting the Uttar Pradesh model of development and brotherhood for
all sections of the people across the country and holding a promise to
ensure welfare for all including the economically poor among forward
castes, Bahujan Samaj Party national president and UP Chief Minister
Mayawati on Tuesday made a clarion call to supporters to capture power
everywhere including in Kerala and pave the path for the much-needed
social transformation.Addressing the `Sarvajan Samaj Brotherhood
Maha Rally, held under the aegis of the BSP state unit here on Tuesday,
she reminded Dr Ambedkar’s words that political power is the master key
.Testing the political waters down south and closely identifying
with the social realities in the state without hurting the sentiments
of the highly polarised segments of Kerala, Mayawati stressed that the
BSP was putting forward a philosophy for social justice for all and
wanted to carry all sections of the people in a spirit of brotherhood.After
sixty years of Independence, neither the Congress nor the BJP which
ruled the Centre was able to ensure equality and justice for all
sections of the people in the country,” she pointed out. “Under the
rule of the Congress and the BJP, the rich have become richer and the
poor have become poorer,” she criticised.Pointing out that
reservation benefits for the poor among the forward castes had been
ensured in Uttar Pradesh under her rule, Mayawati said that she had
written to the Centre to adopt such a policy across the country.An
appeal has been made to the Centre to grant reservation benefits to Aboriginal Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath Christians also. The same has been sought with the Centre for all
weaker and poor sections in appointments in the private sector also,
she said.Underscoring that the BSP is a party which puts into
practice what it preached, the Aboriginal Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath leader,who was hailed as the
`Indian Obama’ ‘and future prime minister of India’ by other speakers,
affirmed that the outfit was not confined to any particular section or
religion but was based on a vision for unity among all.Mentioning
Sree Narayana Guru in her speech, she said that apart from Dr Baba
Saheb Ambedkar, the ideals espoused by all notable leaders of the past
who worked for social transformation across the country are being held
so close by the BSP in a profound way. Universities are being
established in UP in the names of many of them, she noted.“The upper castes in Kerala should also be roped in to the BSP fold,” she said.Even
while giving a diktat to the followers to capture power in Kerala,
Mayawati chose not to ruffle feathers of the CPM and the Left, with
whom the BSP had entered into a strategic political alliance recently,
to benefit from the gains of the latter in red pockets in the event of
the proposed `third alternative’ led by her gets rooted in the coming
Lok Sabha polls.“ Anyway, the party is also nearing to the seat of power in Kerala also,” she said on a confident note.The
thrust of her speech was to broaden the horizons of the BSP philosophy
across the country and take the notable feat of the UP administration
led by her for four times, as a valid proof of the commitment of the
party.BSP national secretary Suresh Mane also addressed the rally. State president Saji K Cheraman presided over the function.
Underhand deals killed engineer, says Mayawati
At a press conference
Mayawati said: ‘Preliminary investigations have revealed that the
murder was the result of some kind of professional tussle and underhand
money.’
She also trained her guns on the opposition for an ‘orchestrated campaign to malign the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) government’.
‘The allegation that my party MLA was indulging in extortion to
collect money for my birthday celebrations is absolutely false and
baseless,’ an angry Mayawati told mediapersons here.
‘I do not believe in shielding anyone indulging in any unlawful
activity, no matter however high and mighty he might be. We have done
so in the past and even in this case, we have booked BSP MLA Shekhar
Tiwari under stringent laws and have put him behind bars. I can assure
you he will not be spared under any circumstances,’ she said.
Her birthday Jan 15 was traditionally observed as
‘arthik sahayog diwas’ (financial cooperation day). ‘We make no bones
about observing my birthday as a day for seeking donations from our
party supporters who shell out their savings with which we sustain our
party,’ she said.
‘Unlike other parties, including the Congress, Samajwadi Party and
Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), our party is not supported by big
industrial and business houses. Therefore, we have to depend on small
contributions made by our supporters,’ she said.
‘This time I have issued directions for
such funds to come only from party functionaries and not MPs and MLAs
of the party.’
Mayawati declared that her next birthday would be celebrated as ‘dhikkar diwas’ (condemnation day) without the usual bash.
‘BSP workers will stage rallies at all district headquarters across
the state to condemn all political parties which have been making false
and wild allegations about extortion of money for my birthday. They
will expose misdeeds of the Congress-led UPA, BJP-led NDA and their
allies, including the Samajwadi Party.’
The chief minister accused her rivals of indulging in dirty politics
Mayawati has denied link
between the killing and fund collection for her Birthday and has
further ruled out CBI probe into the matter.
Bahujan Samaj Party MLA Shekhar Tiwari,
an accused in the murder of PWD engineer M K Gupta, was today sent to
14-day judicial remand till 7th January.
Three others Putu, Manoj Awasthi and
Vinay Tiwari were also send to Judicial custody till 7th January. They
will be produced in the court on 8th January.
Rejecting the demand for a CBI probe
into the murder of a PWD engineer in Uttar Pradesh allegedly by a BSP
MLA, CM Mayawati strongly condemned it to be a mischievous campaign by
the Opposition to defame her govt by linking the killing to her
birthday celebration.
To counter the campaign, Mayawati told reporters in Lucknow that her party would observe her birthday on 15th January by
organising huge rallies across the state against the Congress, BJP and
SP’s “wrong doings” during their rule in the State.
“Where is the need for a CBI probe when
the state police, on my orders, have arrested all the accused in the
case,” Mayawati told a crowded press conference a day after PWD
engineer M K Gupta’s murder allegedly by MLA Shekhar Tiwari shook the
state.
Quoting preliminary investigation
reports, the BSP chief said it seemed that the prime cause of the
murder was a tussle over the issuance of PWD contracts among the
employees of the department.
“The charges against my party MLA will
be probed. He has already been arrested and sent to jail. No other
party has ever taken such stern action against their own members,” she
said.
In reply to questions, Mayawati
acknowledged that the legislator, Tiwari, earlier belonged to the
Congress party and “had a criminal past”.
“When he wanted to join our party, we
asked him about it. He said he was framed by the opposition parties. …
So, we told him to prove his innocence through his actions after he
joined our party”.
We told him ‘you will have to prove through your work’.
“Strict action will be taken if you are
found to be doing the same things, we also told him. And we took strict
action against him yesterday,” she said.
Claiming that BSP had restored law and
order in the state which was in shambles in the past, Mayawati said
bureaucrats and engineers used to live in an atmosphere of fear when SP
ruled the state.
“Corruption and criminalisation of politics had become chronic then.”
She said it was “criminal and highly
condemnable” to link the engineer’s murder to her birthday celebrations
and alleged fund raising for that occasion.
Mayawati also charged the media with
carrying out the opposition’s campaign “without any evidence” and said
“if you have proof, those can be investigated. But if not, then you
should apologise.”
Describing the incident at Auraiya as
“tragic”, Mayawati blamed the Congress, BJP and SP for trying to take
“political mileage” out of it, instead of condoling along with the
grieving family.
Charging the Congress-led UPA,
supported by SP, and the BJP-led NDA with being “the epitome of
corruption”, she said these opposition parties were so perturbed over
their shrinking mass base, that they had no other issue against the BSP
government but to link the engineer’s murder to her birthday
celebrations.
The Chief Minister accused the
opposition parties of “dancing to the tunes of corporate houses and big
business” and framing policies according to their diktats.
“The UPA government’s policies are made
in the drawing rooms of corporate honchos. The stories of corruption of
SP are on the lips of every citizen. Therefore, these parties should
not open their mouths,” Mayawati said, adding that they have been
thoroughly exposed among the masses.
The BSP supremo said she had asked all her party legislators and MPs not to collect any fund for the upcoming general elections.
“This job will be done by those in the party organisation,” Mayawati said.
a) E-Social Engineering in Practice
b)E-Social Transformation in
Practice
c) E-Economic Emancipation in Practice
Mayawati’s social engineering Practice has proved successful.
The Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which
occupies the frontrunner position in every exit poll, best embodies
this strategy of social coalition building, by mobilising the upper
castes, not so long ago depicted as the arch-enemy of its coreAboriginal Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharathsupport base.
Despite its tremendous growth since the late 80’s, the BSP has always had difficulties in gathering votes outside its traditional Aboriginal Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath base or having its candidates elected outside reserved constituencies. The strategy consisting of wooing the
upper castes and other groups at local level reveals the necessity of
the BSP to expand its appeal to other fractions of the electorate in
order to capture power.
What is new, however, is the
attempt to form a social coalition of extremes, in order to oust the
incumbent party out of power by directly mobilising the upper castes.
The creation of numerous caste organisations is precisely aimed at
achieving this end.
Notably, the presence of Brahmins within the
party is not a new phenomenon. Mayawati is known to have drawn her
closest advisors from the upper castes, has been allotting tickets to
upper-caste candidates in recent elections and counts a substantial
number of Brahmin MPs in the federal assemblies. Nonetheless, this
transformation reflects more an adaptation of the party to the
socio-political scene in Uttar Pradesh than a profound change of
identity. As such, the party remains dedicated almost exclusively to
the upliftment of Aboriginal Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath communities.
It hardly matters whether
this strategy will or will not generate major shifts in the pattern of
electoral support; in fact, it does not even intend to do that. Given
the fragmentation of the electorate and the party system in place in
Uttar Pradesh and thanks to the cohesiveness and strength of its
traditional Aboriginal Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath base, the BSP only needs a fraction of the support of
other groups to be in a position to form a government.
The Indian voter can throw up surprises as he has done in successive elections.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, who had projected herself as the
alternative to Manmohan during the July 2008 parliamentary crisis,it would be a projection that only she can solve the
problems by strong governance, and she would target both the Congress
and the Samajwadi Party.
Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati’s Monday show in the city wasn’t too bad
for a beginner in Tamil Nadu politics
, for a
person with prime ministerial ambitions, Mayawati has a good reason to look at
Tamil Nadu. It has a 20% Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath population almost as high as Uttar Pradesh
.Dalits
in Tamil Nadu have never been a critical mass despite their numbers, since they
are scattered too thin to be an electoral force.
The Mayawati magic worked in
Uttar Pradesh especially because of her ability to bring together Aboriginal Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath,
Brahmins and Christians.
Aboriginal Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharath here have been without a good leader.
Mayawati can play that role.She can
turn this need for an Aboriginal Inhabitant of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharathleader against all other odds.
Dec. 22: Insisting that the Bahujan Samaj Party is an “all-community
party” and not meant for any particular group, Uttar Pradesh chief
minister Mayawati on Monday reiterated she was for reservation based on
economic criteria.
Addressing party cadres at the party’s ‘’brotherhood conference’’
here, Ms Mayawati said, “The BSP has already included in its ranks the
marginalised and poor in UP, irrespective of caste and creed. The party
will continue to do the same at the national level, if voted to power.’’
The party’s opponents were spreading the false propaganda that the
BSP was caste-driven, she said adding that her party had embraced and
included the poorer sections of the upper caste in its reservation
model based on economic criteria.
Accusing the Congress and the BJP of being pro-rich in their
policies since Independence and turning a blind eye to the economic
criteria in reservation, she said her representations to the Centre
were ignored. The BSP had captured power to implement a quota system
linked to economic conditions, she said.
Ms Mayawati asserted that unlike the Congress and the BJP that won
elections with the support of the wealthy, the BSP had captured power
with the strength and support of the poor people.
‘’The BSP’s policies will be pro-people and priority would be
accorded to the upliftment of marginalised sections cutting across
caste and religious lines,’’ she said.
The four-time UP chief minister advised her party cadres to take the
lead from UP and emulate it to capture power in Tamil Nadu. She also
urged the cadres to prevent the BJP and the Congress from winning in
the Lok Sabha elections.
Mayawati: we rely on masses

Urges BSP’s Kerala unit to mobilise support of poor among FCs
Says BSP does not belong to any caste or community
Claims the poor were let down by the Congress, BJP
KOTTAYAM: Mayawati, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader and Uttar
Pradesh Chief Minister, on Tuesday called upon the party’s Kerala unit
to draw up plans to mobilise the support of the poor among the forward
communities in preparation for the Lok Sabha elections.
She was addressing a ‘brotherhood rally’ here, wrapping up her
three-day tour of the southern States to galvanise support for the
party. She said the economically backward among all sections of society
had been let down by the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party and their
allies at the Centre and States. Resentment against this betrayal had
been simmering among the poor and the middle class, and the party had
to mobilise their support. Ms. Mayawati said the BSP did not belong to
any caste or community.
‘Focus on all sections’
The philosophy of the party as envisaged by its founder, Kanshi Ram, provided for the wellbeing of all sections of society.
She said the party was elected to power for the fourth time in Uttar
Pradesh and had successfully attended to the needs of all sections of
society.
On job reservation, the BSP leader said she had written to the Union
government several times to provide for separate reservation for the
poor among the forward communities and to extend the status of reserved
community to converted Christians. Neither the BJP nor the Congress-led
governments listened to it.
She said the BSP had always depended on the support of the masses.
It was this difference that had helped her party transform the
government into a pro-people one whenever it came to power in Uttar
Pradesh.
A. Neelalohitha Dasan Nadar, BSP leader, presided. Suresh Mane,
national general secretary and coordinator (southern zone), Saji K.

Our aspiration in life is to see entire people triumph over the suppressive
forces of ignorance, un-satisfactoriness, hatred, anger, jealousy,
delusion, superstition (false religious teaching) and tyranny.
Therefore, we have sworn to confront these influences wherever they
arise. Being spellbound for thousands of years is long enough! In our
age, the battles for freedom and supremacy are being waged on the
mental planes. In order to fulfill prophecy and emerge victorious, we
must be armed with an over standing of our origins, history and the
machinations of those who conspire against us. Any part that we can
play in such a revolution of consciousness is our willing service to a
resurgent Pure Land.
