Delhi Election Results

10 Monday Feb 2020

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in General, News

≈ Leave a comment

The results of Delhi Assembly elections will be declared tomorrow after counting the same. All post-poll reviews have given good majority to AAP led by Shri Kejriwal. But BJP top leaders are telling that they will win, when the votes are counted.

Reports have come in the newspapers that EVMs have been found being taken away by BJP workers. The % of votes were not announced even after one day of the polling. BJP leaders are very sure of winning. Delhi results are very crucial for BJP and no doubt, they will do any mischief to get elected.

Let us wait for the results.

AB Bardhan, CPI(M), Homage

New Delhi, January 3: The Polit  Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) expresses its deep grief at the passing away of Comrade A. B. Bardhan, veteran leader of the Communist and working class movement of India.

Bardhan became a Communist as a young student while participating in the anti-imperialist student movement.  As a trade union activist and as a leader of All India Trade Union Congress, he made a significant contribution to organizing the working class.

Comrade Bardhan, as the General Secretary of the CPI, helped to build Left unity. He played a key role in strengthening relations with CPI(M).  Comrade Bardhan’s life and work was that of a dedicated Communist leader.  In his death, the CPI and the Left movement have lost an invaluable leader.

The Polit Bureau pays  its respectful homage to his memory.  The Polit Bureau conveys its heartfelt condolence to his daughter, son and other members of his family.

AFSPA, Tripura

The CPI(M) government of Tripura has won one more laurel on governance.

Now the Tripura Government has lifted the much hated Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA). The reason:

“Insurgency activities in the state are now reduced almost at zero”, according to Manik Sarkar, Chief Minister of Tripura.

Our Hearty Congratulations to Chief Minister Com. Manik Sarkar and the CPI(M) government of Tripura!

Insurance Bill passed in Rajya Sabha – Congress supports the Bill

13 Friday Mar 2015

Bill, Insurance, Protest

Rajya Sabha yesterday, 12th March 2015, passed the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill 2015, increasing FDI in Insurance Sector from 26% to 49%. The Congress and NDA shamelessly supported the bill and allowed it to pass in the Rajya Sabha, where the ruling party is in a minority. The amendments moved by the Left Parties, which strongly opposed the bill, were defeated jointly by the NDA and UPA.

The Corporates and MNCs were jubilant and expressed their happiness that the Modi Government has passed the bill. According to some of them, more than Rs. 20,000 crore foreign funds are expected after the passing of the bill.

But the sinister fact is that the entire insurance sector, where there is big profit, is going to be taken away by foreign finance. Serious attack will come on the PSU insurance companies. The present subscriber satisfaction will come down.

The Insurance workers have organised a s complete strike on 9th March against the bill, which was a complete success. They are sure to continue the struggle to save the Insurance Sector. Our full support and solidarity to them.

Sustained struggles are required to defeat the anti-working class policies of the government.

Left Wins, President, Uruguay

Ex-president Tabare Vazquez has won Uruguay’s presidential runoff, extending the left’s decade-long hold on power — though not necessarily his predecessor’s ground-breaking marijuana laws, exit polls showed.

Vazquez, a 74-year-old cancer doctor who previously served as president from 2005 to 2010, won between 53 and 53.9 percent of the vote, and will succeed his Broad Front (FA) party colleague Jose Mujica, according to three different exit polls yesterday.

His center-right opponent, 41-year-old lawmaker Luis Lacalle Pou, took between 40.6 and 42 percent of the vote, found the pollsters, Factum, Cifra and Equipos Mori. (PTI)

The Left has retained the President ship. A welcome news!

71%, J and K elections

The first phase of voting in J and K showed 71.6 % , the highest compared to the last so many elections.  This seems to be a good beginning for the democratic process in the state.

Jharkhand has polled 62% in the first phase, despite threat by Maoists. This is also good polling.

Air India – Only 9 daily flights out of 370 profitable

25 Tuesday Nov 2014

Air india, closure, loss

The Minister Civil Aviation told the Parliament today that only 9 flights out 370 flights daily of Air India, are profitable. All other flights are causing loss.

The minister also stated that Air India is posting loss for the last three years. The loss in 2011-12 was Rs. 7559.7 crore, in 2012-13 Rs. 5490.2 crore and in 2013-14 Rs. 5388.8 crore. the Minister also told that as on 31 October, Air India has a total loan of Rs. 52237 crores out of which Rs. 23,358 crore is aircraft loan and Rs. 28,879 crore working capital loan.

Both the Congress and BJP will be very happy. Both the UPA and NDA governments together have been able to make the profitable Air India to a loss making PSU. The Air India –  Indian Airlines Merger with out any sustainable plan, purchasing of large number of planes without any requirement, handing over routes to foreign companies, handing over profitable domestic routes to private airlines , scheduling AI flights immediately after the schedule of private air lines, high rent charges to the private airports, mismanagement and of course the policy decisions against PSUs – all these have pushed the Air India in to big loss. The government might have already started thinking about closing or privatising the Air India as is its policy. This has to be defeated and the Air India saved.
