The two days tour of Jharkhand on 31
st March- 1st April was a good experience. Along with Coms. Basisht Narayan, All India Vice-President and Naresh Lal, Circle Secretary, BSNLEU I visited Jamshedpur, Bokaro & Dhanbad and addressed well attended meetings. Circle Secretary BSNLMS Com.Maheswar Prsasad was also with us. On the way from Jamshedpiur to ,Bokaro we addressed a meeting at Purulia which is in W.Bengal.The District Secretaries were also present.
I am confident that Jharkhand will improve its position substantially.

Jharkhand will leave the past and will win this time

BSNLEU Jharkhand has its own problems with the membership verification as it was not the first and biggest union so far. In the first verification it got only 103 votes out of a total of 4400 and was in the IV position. From the second verification it jumped in to seconnd position. Despite FNTO leaving the alliance we maintained second position in both IV and V verifications. Now we are on the path to touch the first positon. Either BSNLEU Jharkhand will reach first position  or will be marching toward that position with much increased votes.

The first Non-Congress Govenment at Centre

It will seem interesting and unbelievable that for thirty years since Independence, India was under a single one party rule. The Indian National Congress was ruling the country from 1947 onwards till 1977 when it got completely defeated at the hands of the newly formed Janata Party, which came in to being during the draconian Emergency, under the leadership of Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan. The formation of a non-Congress government completely changed the politics in the country. Since then, it has been mostly  coalition Governments whether it is led by Congress, BJP or a combination of other parties as under the Prime Ministership of V.P.Singh.

Now nobody can even imagine a central government by a single party. Nobody can get more than 30% on their own strength. The local (state level) parties have become strong. Sometimes they dictate the ruling party, since without their help the latter can not be in power.

What Com. E.M.S.Namboodiripad predicted years earlier had come true. The single party rule in India is over. It can only be coalition governments.

Com.AKG, we remember you!

Dear Comrade, Your life was dedicated to serve the cause of the millions of toiling masses. Wherever there was injustice, sorrow and exploitation, you reached there to wipe the tears, to fight for their cause and to end injustice and exploitation. I was fortunate to get your affection, guidance and direction. Comrade, you fought against thdraconian National Emergency even when you were seriously ill and yes, the people put an end to that Govt. decimating it in 1977 general elections. But you did not know this as you were in  coma and fighting for your life and passed away leaving millions and millions in deep sorrow. On your 36th death anniversary I place a few red flowers with a lot of inspiring memories. Red Salute to Com. AKG, Captain of the toiling masses!

On this day,23 March, 82 years back, India was witness to the greatest sacrifice of three young men at the altar of freedom and self respect for the country. The three youngmen hanged by the  British imperialists on 23 March 1931 are Shahid Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru. They faced death courageously with Inqilab Zindabad  
as their last call to the people. Red Salute to the Eternal Martyrs!

Refund of Spectrum Charges to BSNL – Delay is unacceptable

Yesterday, 19th March, along with other comrades, I have gone and met Shri Umashankar, Joint Secretary (T), DOT to enquire about the refund of the BWA spectrum charges, since the spectrum has already been vacated by BSNL. We were told that the government (means Finance) has not taken any decision so far despite requests for the same by the DOT. In the same way, the allotted amount of Rs. 1500 crore in lieu of ADC also has not been released by the Finance Ministry despite demand from the USOF and the DOT. This is the information that we could understand from our meetings with the Administrator USO Fund as also from the Additional Secretary, DOT a few days back.

Why Finance is sitting tight on the funds? It is the fund that is to be paid to the BSNL. BSNL is in financial difficulty. Even GPF Advances are being delayed. There is difficulty for procuring equipments. In such circumstances the casual way in which the Finance Ministry is dealing with the issue is completely unacceptable.

The Finance Minister has to immediately look in to the matter and release the funds for he BSNL, before the Financial year is over.
