Practice a Sutta a Day Keeps Dukkha Away

BSP  general
secretary Satish Chandra Mishra fired a missive to Chief Election
Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi on Thursday, protesting against the
“one-sided order.” Describing Ms. Mayawati as Scheduled Caste ki beti
(daughter of a SC), Mr. Mishra wrote that the EC’s diktats had
demoralised the SC/STs and downtrodden sections.BSP general secretary
and Rajya Sabha member Satish
Chandra Mishra criticised  the order. Mr. Mishra had written to the
Commission saying its order was in violation of the law, and that
it be reconsidered. Mr. Mishra had even said the Commission had
demoralised the party and left SC/STs and backwards “cheated.” The BSP
also appeared to raise questions on the Commission’s intentions to hold
free and fair polls in the State.

Mr. Mishra had
written: “The decision is [in] violation of Article 14 of the
Constitution, which provides right of equality. Similar decisions should
be taken against other parties also.”

CEC-Khurshid row: PM says EC autonomy to be upheld

With Law Min Salman
Khurshid raking up a controversy over administrative control of Election
Comm, PM Manmohan Singh has assured the poll body that the govt is
committed to upholding its functional autonomy guaranteed by the
Constitution. 

What Mayawati means

It means POLITICS is SACRED with the HIGHLY PERFORMING BEST and MERITORIOUS GOVERNANCE of again to be CHIEF MINISTER and the NEXT PRIME MINISTER of PRABUDDHA BHARATH

On October 14, 2011 — the day Ambedkar converted to Buddhism in
1956 — the chief minister inaugurated a grandiose national SC/ST/OBC heroes’
memorial in Noida built on the lines of Buddhist architecture. The aim
of the Rashtriya SC/ST/OBCPrerna Sthal: to celebrate SC/ST/OBC icons across
ages who have worked for social transformation. At the centre, against a
backdrop of Bahujan Samaj Party founder Kanshi Ram’s statue and the
lofty image of Ambedkar stood Mayawati’s statue, as sole inheritor of
the mantle. Constructed in stone, the veritable material of history, the
memorial revived an old link between architecture and political
ideology. The Sthal signified an attempt to inscribe into collective
memory the presence of the SC/ST/OBC in history — mediated through
Mayawati’s persona and vision. The sheer solidity of the structure,
conveying its intent to stand the test of time, communicated the message
that the SC/ST/OBC presence was here to stay.

Sixteen days after unveiling the SC/ST/OBC Prerna Sthal, the UP chief
minister graced the first Formula 1 Indian Grand Prix event in Greater
Noida. At the freshly minted Buddh International Circuit, speed and
acceleration held sway on asphalt, proclaiming a smooth entry into a
gilt-edged global sport.

Playing upon the notion of time, these two landmarks created a
range of associations. The Sthal’s architecture seemed to push back the
lineage of Mayawati’s present-day politics by a couple of thousand
years. Meanwhile, the Buddh International Circuit literally inaugurated
the fast track. It conjured images of a scorching mobility, the prime
attribute of modernity.

The memorial and the F1 race track have altered the physical
landscape of Mayawati’s Uttar Pradesh. To a great extent these
structures will change the field of perception of the people —Mayawati’s core
constituency as well as other section.

Many SC/ST/OBC ideologues see the memorial as part of an ongoing task
of contesting the Hindu caste system — the creation of a contemporary
landscape swathed in Buddhist hues to counter the entrenched iconic
landscape of an Ayodhya or Varanasi. (Buddhism, after all, was the
earliest creed in India to articulate an ideology through artistic
monuments.)

Here, the accent is on challenging an oppressive tradition
through a “national” SC/ST/OBC identity, via Maywati’s brand of electoral
politics in Uttar Pradesh. On the other hand, the Formula 1 event
communicated different message. That it was the first ever Indian Grand
Prix meant that Mayawati had created an inclusive national “tradition”,
as it were, for others to follow.

The visual jugalbandi of memorial and race track affords an entire
range of ways in which Mayawati can position her politics. One sends out
a message of consolidation of collective identity and confrontation;
the other holds out the lure of a personal choice to effect a speedy
exit from stifling historical contexts of a given identity. These
messages can potentially address different sections, from the SC/ST/OBC at
the bottom of the scale to the emerging urban middle class within the
community as well as others.

As Mayawati knows all too well, a journey to the centre of
electoral politics is all about deploying the power of symbolism and the
symbolism of power.

Congress
and BJP rule this country for the last 65 years. If its leaders
implemented the promises made to the people, they would not have been
reduced to what they are now. None of the leaders ever entertained
SC/STs/OBCs/Minorities in their houses. Now for the sake of votes they
are involved in theatrics. People cannot be fooled because of their
sufferings due to price rise and other problems.

Why not proportionate representation to all the communities according to
their population for an equal distribution of wealth? Congress and BJP
could have done this in all these 65 years and not just during election
times.

And the Election

Commission is draping these wrong elephants which are not BSP election
symbol
that are with the trunk raised above. If this could be done they can as
well order to drape all Ganesha, Ganapati and Vinayaka statues which
drank milk. EC order will only help in BSP
increasing its votes.

The EC official on condition of anonymity, on Thursday, said the party symbol was an elephant whether its trunk
was down or raised as if to signal welcome.If this could be done they can as
well order to drape all Ganesha, Ganapati and Vinayaka statues which
drank milk. 
After all they are also elephants whether sitting, standing or
dancing.Since the decision is [in] violation of Article 14 of the
Constitution, which provides right of equality. Similar decisions should
be taken against other parties also.

Whereas this is the real BSP election symbol.

EWhen

Mayawati came to power in 2007, she built the 76-acre Ramabai Rally
Sthal in Lucknow to accommodate a crowd of five lakh. She has held six
rallies here for her party cadre, three of them in the last two months.
She is the only leader to have done so in such a sprawling space. Each
of her three recent rallies has focused on Sarvajan Hithay Sarvajan
Sukhay i.e., for the welfare and happiness of entire people. On
November 13, she held a Brahmin Sammelan where Satish Chandra Misra, the
BSP’s Brahmin face, described Mayawati as “kanoon ki devi”. A fortnight
later, she addressed a rally for the party’s Scheduled Castes and
backward class workers. BSP state President Swami Prasad Maurya shared
the dais with her. On December 18, it was the turn of the Muslim
votebank, for whom she paraded BSP leader Naseemuddin Siddiqui.

Mayawati always arrives on time. She then arrives at the venue in an
Ambassador, usually accompanied by a fleet of 10 cars. At the venue, she
is at her combative best, hitting out at both Samajwadi Party and the
Congress. Taunting Rahul Gandhi’s attacks on her, she says, “The
elephant has started haunting Congress leaders even in their dreams.”
The applause is deafening.
