The conspiracy of the US imperialists and the anti-left in Venezuela has been defeated by the people. They participated in the election in large numbers supporting President Nicolas Maduro ignoring the call of the anti-left opposition to boycott the election.
Many Latin American nations like Cuba, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Mexico etc. congratulated the Venezuelan people in their victory.

Petrol and Natural Gas Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has stated in Parliament yesterday that the subsidy for the cooking gas will be completely eliminated by next March. Accordingly the subsidy will be reduced by Rs. 4 every month, till the entire subsidy is eliminated. LPG subsidy has already been reduced. This will seriously and adversely affect the common people and increase the profit of the oil companies.
Ofcourse, government is for the corporates!

One more attack on the savings of the people! State Bank of India has reduced the interest rate of saving bank accounts from 4% to 3.5%, while retaining the 4% rate for those accounts having more than one crore rupee. This is effective from this Monday.
This is an attack against small account holders and at the same time protecting the high, who have got more than one crore rupee in the accounts.
SBI should withdraw this order.

Com.R.Muthusundaram, former Secretary General of All India State Government Employees Federation (AISGEF) passed away on 30th July after a brief illness. He was a sincere and dedicated leader who wholeheartedly fought for the workers. I had the opportunity to meet him in several conferences and discuss matters. He was very simple and genuine in his dealings. He was also a very good orator. His untimely death is a great loss not only to the state government employees movement, but to the entire trade union movement.
My Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family friends and also to AISGEF!

Smt. Aruna Sunderarajan, Secretary DOT has stated that the New Telecom Policy will be finalised by the end of this year.
Every NTP, whether it is National Telecom Policy or New Telecom Policy, has been for more and more opening of the sector to the private corporates and giving them all help and benefits while curtailing and putting road blocks in the working the DOT/BSNL services. There is no doubt that next NTP also will follow the same lines.
Subsidy to the private operators, additional time to pay the spectrum charges, reducing ADC and USO Fund contribution are sure to be some of the policy issues. Of course, there will be further restrictions on the functioning of BSNL and MTNL, even disinvestment, privatisation etc.
Is not this government the government of the corporates, by the corporates, and for the corporates?

” If you tell the same lie enough times, people will believe it; and the bigger lie, the better.”
” The rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious.”
The above quotations are from Joseph Goebbels, the Propaganda Minister of Hitler. Not only telling, the Fascist government of Hitler fully implemented it. All kinds of lies were spread against the Communists and Jews with the intention of eliminating both completely. Lakhs of people were rounded up in the concentration camps and eliminated with out any mercy. It was for saving the purity of the ‘Aryan Race’!
Is not an echo of the same cancer spreading in India? The ‘lie propaganda’ by RSS and its Parivars are going on. The BJP government and its leaders are following. Whether it is the question of unemployment, education, relief to kisans, utter lies are being spread. False information are spread to create communal hatred. Free speech is restricted.
Is India going the Hitler Way, the Goebbels way? Ensure that India does not follow the Fascist Germany path.

The book value of BSNL’s landed properties are pegged at Rs.975 crore. However, the recent valuation of BSNL’s landed properties reveal that, the value of one third of BSNL’s landed properties alone come to Rs.65,000 crore. These one third landed properties are located in the major cities of the country. The land at New Delhi in which the Corporate Office is located alone is valued at Rs.2,500 crore. This valuation was done as per the new “Indian Accounting Standard”, for which the consultant KPMG was engaged by BSNL. This information was disclosed to the PTI by shri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD BSNL. (Courtesy: BSNLEU website)
Privatisation of PSUs means handing over these large tracts of land of the PSUs to the private corporates for real estate purposes. According to the government, the entire BSNL’s assets are worth only Rs. 975 crores and the selling price will be with this calculation. The corporates will reap huge profit.
But one thing. The united force of the BSNL workers will fight to the last against any privatisation of BSNL! The government could not implement disinvestment in BSNL so far, they could not implement VRS and unbundling of copper cables. If the workers stand united, it will be not easy for the government to implement their anti-national designs.

NITI Agog CEO Amitabh Kant has stated that government entities should exit from operation and maintenance of infrastructure projects. He also said that jails, colleges and schools should be handed over to private!
It seems that NITI Ayog and its CEO have really become mad. They want to hand over every thing to the private, even the government itself! Unfortunately the Modi govt. itself is moving fast in the same direction.
