Senior Central Ministers Arun Jaitely and Rajnath Singh says there is no intolerance. But the way their statements are issued and the contents themselves expose the intolerance.

I was reading a life history of veteran P and trade union leader Com.K.Adinarayana. It is almost unbelievable. His life from childhood poverty, struggle to make a living for family, jail for struggle against Nizam, growth of TU leader against all adversities, leading militant struggles – there are much more. Red Salute to Com.Adi!

The All India Conference of National Co-ordinating Committee of Pensioners’ Association (NCCPA) will be held at  Kolkata on 6-7 November 2015. NCCPA is the organisation dealing with the problems of the Central Govt. Pensioners. Many Pensioner’s Associations including AIBDPA, is affiliated to NCCPA.
The AIC will discuss various issues of Pensioners, including the VII CPC.

This will be the first AIC after the sad demise of veteran leader Com.S.K.Vyas.

It is understood that the Railways are proposing to stop the canteens/catering/pantry in long distant trains, in the name of introducing e-catering. This will mean taking away an existing benefit to the passengers.
Strong opposition should come against this anti-passenger proposal.

Puja Festival is over. Diwali festival is fast approaching. It is high time that BSNL takes a decision for Bonus(PLI) to its 2.25 lakh workers. BSNL can not ignore its dedicated workforce. They are to be further motivated. Bonus (PLI) is a must. This will help in improving BSNL services.

According to number of vigilance cases, BSNL is far ahead and probably is number 1. P and T Department was one of the most efficient and least corrupt.
How this change for the worst has come? How it is to be eradicated? If corruption could be eradicated, the financial position will certainly be improved.

During my visit to Aligargh to attend circle conference of AIBDPA UP West, some BSNL contract workers came and met me. They told that they are being denied of minimum wage and is being paid only Rs.2000 – 2500 and  no EPF -ESI.
This is very sad and unacceptable. The contract workers should be paid their dues and social security measures implemented.
