This is biggest TRAGEDY of BJP it has no Skills to implement promises
made to people even Piyush Goyal or Suresh Prabhu are fatally
attracted to Weird Projects. Big Promises Need BIG BRAINS – INVENTORS
& ENGINEERS TO DELIVER.
BJP has bungled up on – Power, Water, Sewage, Floods, Transport, Food
Supply, Education, Healthcare, Industry, Services, Rent Act, Consumer
Courts, Agriculture, Irrigation etc in BJP ruled states.
When Petroleum Imports bill is expected to come down by $100b or
Rs.6,00,000 crores there is marginal reduction in Petrol and Diesel
prices for the benefit of Car Lobby but no reduction in LPG price – in
fact Poor Consumers currently have to pay Twice the retail price and
then get refund of Excess amount in Bank Account. Rich mainly use
Electric Gadgets for Cooking as Electricity is cheaper than LPG.
It is horrific when Delhi may have 100m Light Points – earlier it
planned to cover just 7m increased to 10m soon but announced Rs.7791
crores on additional Capitalization to already Wastefully and
Corruptly Capitalized around Rs.10,000 crore. Nearly doubling the
Capitalization would double Fixed Cost of power supply. Cost of LED
Lamps at Rs.130 to be charged to consumers is loot. For Street Lights
it is Better for every home to have 5W Lamp in Front & Back Lanes that
Street Lights.
Against sale of 8000 MW average power in Gujarat installed capacity
exceed 24,000 MW and Transmission capacity over 56,000 MW.
Delhi residents get Sewage & Drainage of Haryana – Renuka, Lakhwar and
Vyasi Dams are not yet taken up even after 1954 agreement allocating
Yamuna Waters to partner states. So Delhi and partner states are
deprived of 7 BCM of water, don’t get flood protection. Dams in
Gujarat had failed to come up and most run dry mid way through annual
water cycle.
New Delhi Metro Projects are not Progressing. GOI could have expedited
these CRITICAL projects. It cost less to SPEED UP some new lines
already dug up.
Recently BJP government introduced Mini Buses in New Delhi to connect
Metro Stations but many run along DTC, Orange Lines instead of RWA
Interior Roads.
Fruits and Vegetables Supply is MOST Corrupted. There is 400% Mark Up
in Foods to Farm Gate prices to Consumers. There is huge Loss of
Weight and Nutrients in Corrupted Supply chain.
Logistics Cost of AMUL MILK from Farm Pickup to Processing Plants and
Supply to Retail Outlets is Rs.2 per kg – how is that Logistics Cost
of Vegetables is Rs.40 per kg.?
Education, Healthcare, Industry, Services, Housing are in poor
condition. Poor and Senior Citizens are not admitted to Hospitals and
also don’t Social Security.

Farmers across Gujarat being Detained : Black Sunday for People';s Rights
Red carpet for National and International Corporate Honchos, iron fist at Farmers
January 11 : While the Government of Gujarat is splurging on the jamboree called Vibrant Gujarat it is a crime to raise the issue of farmers'; suicides and low cotton prices. A presentation of the issues was planned by the non-party platformSanyukta Khedut Sangharsh Samiti to be handed over to the Gujarat Government. Farmers have been preparing and heading for their action spot in Ahmedabad in thousands since morning. However, in a wanton display of its paranoia as well as dictatorial tendencies the Government first tried to scare away bus and other transporters and attempted to force them to cancel farmers'; bookings. Farmers demonstrated their resolve by finding other means to reach the appointed spot. Thousands of farmers are being detained in tens of places across Gujarat.
First, Mr Shivlal Vekaria (ex-MP) and Chandulal Shingala were detained in Rajkot and then has followed the detention of hundreds of farmers in various districts. In the dead of the night - around 12.30 am - Sagar Rabari and Lakhan Musafir were arrested on January 10th. Other prominent farmers being detained include Mansukhbhai (Rajkot), Pradyumansinh and Ramdevsinh Chudasma (Dholera), Mahendrasinh Karmariya, Nipul Patel, Yakub Gurji (Bharuch), Lalji Desai (Becharaji-Mandal). The Mansa MLA Mr. Amitbhai, Dehgam MLA Kaminiben and Jashubhai Rana of Gandhinagar have also been arrested. Persis Ginwala (JAAG), Krishnakant & Swati Desai (NAPM) have also been detained since morning.
The farmers'; demands were simple and basic :
1) Support Price for Cotton at 1200 / 20 kg, and Rs. 1000 / 20 kg for groundnut
2) No de-commanding of Narmada waters and diversion for industries
3) Repeal of draconian anti-farmer laws such as Special Investment Region (SIR) Act, and Irrigation Act
4) Immediate withdrawal of the Ordinance making the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition Act meaningless.
It has become the standard practice for the Government of Gujarat to clamp down on demands of the poor and toiling people of Gujarat rather than addressing. This Government believes in ruling via Ordinances on the one hand, and organising meaning public relations jamboorees - all at Tax Payers'; expense.
We condemn this wanton attack on the rights of the people and suppression of our democratic rights to assemble and protest. We will continue to protest this loot being promoted by the government in name of investors summit and development of Gujarat and Nation.
