Massive preparations are being made for bringinbg maximum number of casual and contract workers to Delhi for organising the dharna on 26th August 2011.
Intimate the CHQ about the number of comrades coming from each circle so that suitable arrangements can take place.

After the end of the second world war, 66 years have passed. Berlin, the head quarters of Nazi Germany was captured by Soviet Army on 2nd May 2011. The Japanese held out for some time. But the 2 atom bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6th and 9th August speeded up the surrender of Japan. The final surrender was declared on 10th August 1945 and the Second World War ended.
Crores of military personnel and common people died in the war. There is no limit to those who were maimed and had to live in pain their entire life. crores of families lost their bread-winner.
Two cities were completely burned out. This was one of the worst war that was fought.
Let us hope that such a catastrophe never repeat again.

The UPA II government and the Congress leadership is in the dock on corruptions, one after another. After the 2G scam a series of scams emerged including Antrix-Dewas, Adarsh, Coomon Wealth Games etc. Now the report of the CAG on the CWG has slammed the Delhi Government as also CWG chief Suresh Kalmadi as also PMO. In the 2G scam, former Minister Raja made a statement in the court that Prime Minister was in the know of each and every decision. In the Antri-Dewas deal, the ISRO was directly under the PM. Now the CWG also the PMO is clearly in the picture.
And the political parties have mentioned that PMO is directly involved indicating that the PM is aware.
Will there be an end to these scams? Will the people of this country allow such scams got unpunished.

Quit India movement started on 9th August 1942 was one of the major agitation of the great Independence struggle. The Bombay session of the Indian National Congress in 1942 decided a major change in the strategy and decided to start the Quit India movement. This had a great impact and inspired the people of India to continue with the struggle.
India got independence on 15th August 1947 ending the British imperialist rule . Now the UPA II government is trying to be the subordinate ally of the United States, the leader of the capitalist powers in the world. History is forgotten by the present rulers. Or they have not forgotten and want history to be repeated?

What will be the future of the Rs.1,83,000 crore ( $ 4100 crore ) deposited in the USA by the Reserve Bank of India. Now that the US economy has been down graded from AAAto AA+, what will happen to this money? Whether it will be withdrawn or deposited elsewhere or keep it there?

Government of France has handed over to the Government of India a list of 700 people who have deposited money in the HSBC Bank in Geneva. This is the first time that a list of such large number of depositors in foreign countries have been known. It is reported that many powerful politicians and corporates are in the list. But the Government has not released the names. It is only reported in the press that tax evasion issue will be enquired.
In the case of the 17 people whos have deposited in the LGT Bank, the government has so far not released the list.
It is somewhat clear from the reports that the government do not want to release the names since many are political bigwigs or people supporting them.
It is the duty of the government to release the list and take legal action against them for cheating the government and the nation.

The Joint Action Committee has been insisting on the management for the last few years to ensure that all the rented buildings taken by BSNL be vacated and accommodated in the BSNL buildings only. The reply given by the management was that there are very few rented accommodations and that also will be vacated soon.The wrong information given by the management is exposed now. According to a reply given in the Parlaiment by Murali Deora, State Minister for Communications and IT, the rent paid by BSNL for rented accommodation for the last four years is Rs. 1023.9 crore!It means an amount of Rs. 256 crore annually. This is not a small amount.
After the new CMD has joined, once again we took up the matter. Now orders have been issued to vacate these rented buildings at the earliest. Despite these instructions many officers at the local level are trying to continue the rented buildings due to their vested interests.
The Circle/District Secretaries should identify the rented buildings and compel the management to vacate the same at the earliest. In almost all places BSNL has now got suficient spaces for accommodation and there is no need for rented accommodation.

The credit rating agency Standards and Poor’s has downgraded US economy from the highest ranking AAA to AA+ after the US public deficit has increased to $ 14.3 trillion and is still increasing. This was four days back, on Thursday, 4th August.
Most of the European nations like UK,France, Germany are on AAA while Japan and China are AA- and India BBB-. The downgrading of US has been the first since 1917, about ten decades back. This is going to have serious repercussions in the global economy. Certain financial experts have predicted that this is going to be more serious than the global recession a few years back.
What will be its impact on India is yet to be seen.

Today I had a chance to visit the flat of one of my friends in Bangalore. After more than one hour journey from my residence I reached there. THe entire area is full of multi-storied flats. Most of the flats are about 19 to 20 storeys. Altogether, I am told, there are more than 2500 flats in this combine. That means about 10,000 people are staying here.
My friends’ flat is on the 17th floor. From the verandah of the flat I looked at the city. A wonderful sight. The entire city can be seen. A large number of high storeys buildings could be seen along with the greenery, the city have.
Bangalore has grown in a big way since the last 10 to 20 years. The entire skyline of Bangalore has changed. The old roads and many of the important key points of the city have vanished or changed. High profile office buildings and multi storied residential flats have come in hundreds.It has become a rich city. The roads are naturally crowded and it takes more than one hour even to move from one place to another.
I tried to remember the first time I came to Bangalore. It was in 1958, July first week. I was given telegraphic order to join at the Telecom training Centre at Bangalore for training before appointment in the P and T Department. I resigned my post as a teacher and started for Bangalore by bus from Tellicherry (Kerala). By the time I reached Bangalore, I had made friends with one school boy and his mother, who were going to visit the latter’s brother working at Bangalore. When we reached Bangalore, they requested me to locate the quarters of their relative who was in the army. It was the Canteen Department. We reached there by hiring a tonga (horse-riksha).It was night by that time. When I was leaving the place, the relative, who was the Manager of the Canteen Department, compelled me to stay there with the assurance that next day he will take me to the training class. I stayed there in the night and next day joined the training class and the relative found out an accommodation for me in a nearby lodge.
The city at that time was beautiful with a lot of gardens and planned roads. The climate was very good. Neither very hot nor very cold. It is said that many of the retired army officers settled at Bangalore because of the calm and beautiful climate.
Within the last 20 years, after the IT revolution has come in a big way, Bangalore has changed.I mentioned about the large number of skyscrapers which have been built in the last few years. The roads have become completey insufficient for the heavy traffic and the result is road-jam almost everywhere. Malls and big shops have been established. Many overbridges and fly-overs have been constructed. Work on Metro is going on. All these changes will make Bengaluru a real metro.
It also seems that the attitude of the people is also changing. The arrogance of the large cities is gradually coming to Bengaluru chnging the innocence of the a middle level town.
But still Bengaluru is a pleasant city with many gardens and nice people with their age old tradition culture .

The government’s anti-PSU policy has been the main reason for the loss to Air India and its downfall in the market share. Mismanagement was another reason.
Now the latest report in the media has shown how the government was playing with the Air India. A non-experienced person in aviation sector, Aravind Jhadav, was appointed as Chairman, Air India in the final period of the UPA I government. The surprising information is that he has been dropped from the selection earlier stating that he has no experience in aviation. This inforamation is revealed from an RTI reply from the government.
Many such skeletons in the cup-board may be revealed again.
