After SC rap, Ramdev vows to agitate again in Delhi

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev.

Buoyed by the Supreme Court’s censure of the government for arbitrarily and forcefully ending his Ramlila Ground protest last year, yoga guru Baba Ramdev vowed on Thursday to launch more such protests. “Till the time black money from abroad is not brought back and declared as national asset our agitation will continue. I will soon return to Delhi for another agitation,” Ramdev said.
He was speaking to reporters after the Supreme Court slammed Delhi Police for acting in an arbitrary manner and using excessive force in evicting Ramdev and his followers from the Ramlila ground in June last year.
The Supreme Court said what happened at the sprawling ground on the night of June 4-5, leading to the death of a woman, was the fault of Delhi Police as it acted in an arbitrary manner and used excessive force. It also pulled up the yoga guru for not cooperating with police.
But Ramdev said, “The government had misused its powers, undermined the constitution and law and violated human rights by forcefully evicting people who were protesting peacefully and charging them with lathis (batons).”
Blaming the home ministry for the midnight crackdown, Ramdev said that senior officials of the Delhi Police were in regular touch with the ministry and received the orders for the eviction.
“The police received orders from above… At least three to five times I asked the police to arrest me and stop hitting people with batons but they did not listen,” said Ramdev.
“I urged my followers to keep peace and not retaliate even if they were being hit by policemen.”

In the name of Justice it is an “EYE WASH” when the court got sufficient proof it should have constituted an judicial inquiry to bring to the book the culprits and the main accused. But my feeling is that there is no justice being delivered(little justice is no justice) for higher people sitting on the top positions.

SC seems to be saying there is no Government and it was police who could decide to break protest and beat sleeping people and can throw tear gas on them in enclosed atmosphere.

Letter from the Editor-in-Chief

1 out of 5 mobile users in India wants adult content on 3G-enabled phone: Survey

Our November 2004 cover

The Porno Boom was the title of an India Todaycover story in December 1978. That story captured the baby steps that pornography took to enter the mainstream space in India. The medium in which it made some fleeting appearances was the only one available in the country at the time: print. Thirty-three years later, porn is unmistakably mainstream. It has made its way into public consciousness over the years through multiple media, starting with print, moving to video, graduating to DVD, before going viral on the World Wide Web. At each step of the way, technology has enabled greater access for audiences. Of course, changing social mores, which have led to a more permissive society than in the 1970s, have aided the coming out of what would have been taboo not so long ago.The three Karnataka ministers, who were caught watching pornographic clips on their smartphones while seated in the state Assembly a fortnight ago, are a reflection of this all-pervasive phenomenon. Apart from being easy to access, porn is virtually free and seamlessly transferable to any device to watch at your convenience. Notwithstanding the extreme impropriety of watching it in the legislative chamber, where they are supposed to be working for the public, the ministers absurdly attempted to defend their conduct. This can only suggest that for them, watching porn is quite normal and need not be confined to the bedroom. Are they a reflection of what is, perhaps, happening to large chunks of our society? The popularity of Canadian-Indian porn star Sunny Leone on the reality show Bigg Boss hints that people are not put off by her porn history. Leone is now moving to Bollywood. The emergence of home-made porn where young people film themselves and put their videos online suggests a giant leap in social mores.
Our cover story, written by Deputy Editor Damayanti Datta, investigates whether Karnataka’s porn-watching ministers are symbolic of a wider trend. It turns out that a fair number of Indians are glued to porn. According to Google Trends, the number of searches for porn from India doubled between 2010 and 2012; in 2011, seven Indian cities were among the top ten in the world searching for porn. Greater access to high-speed Internet would explain much of that rise. The sharp growth in smartphone owners has also fuelled the porn boom. A survey by the Indian Market Research Bureau revealed that one out of five mobile users in India wants adult content on his 3G-enabled phone. It isn’t just adults who are addicted to porn. A survey of public schools in Delhi conducted by Max Hospital revealed that over 47 per cent students discuss porn every day.
There is no law against watching pornography in India, though there are strict laws against transmitting or distributing it. There is no case per se for banning the viewing of pornography. Yet, in a society which continues to, in many ways, be repressive about sex-there is very little sex education in schools and parents rarely talk about it to children openly-pornography can lead people, particularly youngsters, to have a distorted perception about sex. It is often violent, perverted and exploitative. The Indian porn industry, unlike its Western counterparts, is completely unregulated. Addiction to pornography can lead to dysfunctional relationships in the real world.
Like in many other open societies, pornography has been a perennial problem which authorities continue to battle. The arrival of the Internet has compounded the problem immensely. Without being overly prudish or repressive, there is a need for education and regulation to moderate its insidious influence.

Former Karnataka CM Yeddyurappa meets MLAs to mount pressure on high command

Former Karnataka CM Yeddyurappa meets MLAs to mount pressure on high command

Intensifying his bid for a comeback, former Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa on Thursday began meeting party MLAs to chalk out a plan to mount pressure on the BJP central leadership to give him a post.
The luncheon meeting called by Yeddyurappa at his Race Course residence for a show of strength ahead of party President Nitin Gadkari’s expected arrival this evening, was attended by MLAs, MLCs and some ministers.
Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda, accompanied by state unit president K.S. Eswarappa called on Yeddyurappa briefly but both leaders made a quick exit.
Sources in the Gowda camp said the Chief Minister wanted to persuade Yeddyurappa to drop his plans of show of strength, but it went in vain.
However, Eswarappa told reporters that the troubles faced by BJP would end in about two or three days.
Admitting there are differences among leaders, he said Gadkari would iron them out at the ‘Chintan Mantan Baitak’, a brainstorming session called by BJP tomorrow at a private resort on the outskirts of the city.

“The party high command will take a decision on the leadership change issue,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rural Development Minister Jagadish Shettar, who was defeated by Yeddyurappa camp in the election for the BJP legislature party leader post in August last year and is now in the anti-Gowda camp, has identified himself with Yeddyurappa.
Shettar said, “Yeddyurappa has called a meeting over lunch to discuss the political situation. I don’t know the agenda, whether it includes leadership change. I am attending it.”
Excise Minister M.P. Renukacharya, a staunch Yeddyurappa loyalist, said the meeting would discuss the style of functioning of Gowda, ‘who is favourable to Congress and JDS leaders, rather than his party leaders’.
“We have documentary proof to prove this charge. We will present it to Gadkari,” he said.
Sources in the Yeddyurappa camp said that they would press for change of guard and seek Gowda’s resignation to make him honour the promise they claimed was made to their leader to quit after six months.
Yeddyurappa had hoped to return as Chief Minister in about six months, but his plans failed to fructify as the BJP high command did not show inclination to re-instate him.
Party sources said Gadkari will arrive here on Thursday night, attend chintan manthan on Friday and return to Delhi.

Criminal cases split into 6

TNN | Feb 24, 2012, 05.53AM IST

Article

BANGALORE: The heat’s on Karnataka forests minister CP Yogeshwar in the Mega City scam with 14 cases slapped on him.
The Mega City (Bangalore) Builders and Developers Ltd (MDBL), an entity floated with by Yogeshwar in April 2009, had shown an amount of Rs 37.22 crore as paid to sundry debtors (miscellaneous small or infrequent customers who are not assigned individual ledger accounts but classified as a group) during 2005-06. It was shown as advance paid for purchase of land for Vajragiri project launched by MDBL between 1995-96 and 2005-06. It was later found that no land was acquired by Yogeshwar’s real estate company though such fraudulent deeds was shown in its account.
The criminal cases have been split into six to individually charge people involved in the fraud and other criminal offences. The counsel said in the first case, Yogeshwar, his ex-wife Manju Kumari, brother CP Gangadhareshwara, brother-in-law P Mahadevaiah and two others, HR Ramesh and Sambashiva, have been accused of offences under sections 404, 405, 409, 463, 464, 465, 468, besides conspiracy under sections 120-A and 120-B. The next three cases are against the minister alone, while the fifth is against him and his brother-in-law Mahadevaiah and HR Ramesh. The sixth case involves the minister, his wife, and his advocate Arun Charanthimath and his wife Sujatha.
Eight cases under various provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 (Sections 162, 168, 220 (1), 440 (2), 628, 240, 219 (5)) were filed against Yogeshwar and his auditor Sanjay Sreesha, HR Ramesh and Gangadhareshwara.

RSS firm that Gowda is here to stay

M B Maramkal, TNN | Feb 24, 2012, 05.54AM IST

Article

Comments (1)

BANGALORE: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has categorically told the BJP high command that “there will be no change in the leadership of the Karnataka BJP legislature party”.
Apparently taking serious note of developments in the state BJP, RSS leaders have told the party high command not to succumb to pressure tactics of BS Yeddyurappa and his followers. Sources in the RSS and BJP high command also told TOI that “nonsense and indiscipline will not be tolerated and encouraged”.
An RSS source said the Sangh was happy with the performance of chief minister DV Sadananda Gowda and neither the RSS nor the BJP high command has any second thoughts on this.
Asked about Jagadish Shettar’s new-found friendship with Yeddyurappa and the likelihood of the former replacing Gowda, the source said the Sangh had high regard for Shettar and his affiliation with it. But RSS leaders are not inclined to replace Gowda with Shettar at this juncture, the source said. “When Gowda has lent stability to governance and is performing well, where is the question of changing him?” the source wondered.
Sources in the BJP high command, too, were of the firm opinion that Yeddyurappa’s threats hold no water as he had the support of hardly 20 to 25 legislators. “Wait for a day or two. Nitin Gadkari, who is visiting Bangalore, will clear the air surrounding the leadership and categorically tell state party leaders to keep quiet,” a senior BJP leader said, denying that Yeddyurappa’s moves had the tacit support of a section of central party leaders, including Gadkari.
Asked about Yeddyurappa’s new February 27 deadline for the high command to take a decision, the leader said it will have no impact on the government, and the party is ready to face any consequences arising out of any extreme step taken by the former chief minister.
But the BJP leadership is unclear what to do if Yeddyurappa manages to mobilize enough numbers in the legislature party to jeopardize the government. “As of now, we are confident he has no numbers to destabilize Gowda. We will think of it whenever such a situation arises,” a BJP leader said.

Three killed in latest prison riot in northern Mexico

Another Karnataka BJP minister faces criminal cases

Thursday, February 23, 2012 11:21:31 AM by IANS ( Leave a comment)

Bangalore, Feb 23 (IANS) Ahead of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Gadkari’s visit here Friday , the party faced more embarrassment Thursday as another Karnataka minister was slapped with cheating and fraud cases. The scam predates his induction as a minister.
Forest Minister C.P. Yogeshwar faces 14 cases for allegedly cheating scores of people by promising house sites on Bangalore’s outskirts.
The cases were filed by the union corporate affairs ministry after a probe by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office attached to it.
Taking cognizance of the cases, additional chief metropolitan magistrate Kiran Kini ordered Yogeshwar and four others to appear in his court in two weeks.
Yogeshwar and the four others are accused of cheating investors of Rs. 39 crores by floating a real estate firm Mega City Developers and Builders Limited (MDBL) in 2005-06.
Yogeshwar was its managing director. He was at that time in the Congress. He quit as Congress legislator in 2009 and joined the BJP.
Yogeshwar is the third minister in the D.V. Sadananda Gowda cabinet to face criminal cases. The others are Murugesh Nirani, industries, and V. Somanna, housing.
At least 15 BJP law makers, including these three ministers, are now fighting legal battles.
Leading their ranks is BJP’s first chief minister in Karnataka and south India B.S. Yeddyurappa who was forced to quit in July last year over corruption charges.
His son and BJP Lok Sabha member B.Y. Raghavendra is also an accused in the six cases of corruption and illegal land deals against Yeddyurappa.
Others include mining baron Gali Janardhana Reddy over illegal mining, S.N. Krishnaiah Setty and Katta Subramanya Naidu for corruption, Haratulu Halappa on rape charges. All were members of the Yeddyurappa ministry.
Gadkari is arriving to give pep talk to party leaders and lawmakers on morality and discipline following the involvement of three ministers, Laxman Savadi, C.C. Patil and J. Krishna Palemar in the porn viewing incident in the assembly Feb 7. They quit the ministry the next day.

Karnataka stares at summer of BJP power struggle

Thursday, February 23, 2012 4:44:42 AM by IANS ( Leave a comment)

Bangalore, Feb 23 (IANS) The power struggle in Karnataka’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) sharpened Thursday, threatening to reduce D.V. Sadananda Gowda to a lame-duck chief minister.
The threat to the Gowda government is from his predecessor, B.S. Yeddyurappa, who was forced out of office last July over corruption charges.
Yeddyurappa was hoping to come back as chief minister within six months but with BJP central leaders firmly ruling out his return till he was cleared of corruption charges, he has been angling to be officially declared the unquestioned leader of the party in the state.
On Thursday, a day ahead of BJP president Nitin Gadkari’s visit to the state, Yeddyurappa hosted a lunch in Bangalore for party legislators hoping to demonstrate his hold on the organization.
Around 80 of the 120 party members in the assembly, several legislative council and parliament members attended the luncheon.
Gadkari is to participate in the two-day ‘chintan-manthan’ or brainstorming session of state party leaders and legislators.
The meeting has been called in the wake of the involvement of three ministers – Laxman Savadi, C. C. Patil and J. Krishna Palemar – in viewing porn in the assembly Feb 7. The three quit the next day.
However, the incident has dealt a severe blow to BJP, which often claims to be only party with high moral values. Many of the groups supporting it indulge in moral policing.
State BJP chief K.S. Eshwarappa, who also attended the luncheon meeting, told reporters that Gadkari’s visit will resolve the “minor problems” plaguing the party.
Though Yeddyurappa handpicked Gowda to succeed him, he has turned against him on the ground that the successor is acting independently to emerge out of his shadow.
Gowda is also being targetted by Yeddyurappa and his supporters for allegedly getting cozy with former Prime Minister and Janata Dal-Secular president H.D. Deve Gowda.
The power struggle has taken a casteist angle too as the two Gowdas belong to Vokkaliga caste while Yeddyurappa hails from Lingayat caste. The two caste groups are rivals for political power and have been dominating the state politics for a long time.
The state is scheduled for assembly elections in April-May next year. The BJP came to power for the first time in Karnataka in May 2008.

Karnataka: Cracks in BJP, BSY looks to oust Gowda

Bangalore: A political storm is brewing in BJP-ruled Karnataka with signs of chief minister DV Sadananda Gowda’s streak of luck coming to an end.
If the political circles are to be belived, former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa is gearing up to pull the rug under Gowda’s feet by removing his own nominee Gowda from the post of CM.
According to the media reports, Yeddyurappa is set to launch an offensive to regain the chief minister’s post or replace Gowda with one of his acolytes.
In a decisive blow to oust Gowda, Yeddyurappa is boosting his strength by joining hands with panchayat raj minister Jagadishi Shettar, reports said.
Sources said BSY is likely to draw the attention of BJP national president Nitin Gadkari, who is arriving to participate in the BJP Chintan Manthan (brainstorming session) on Friday and Saturday.
Yeddyurappa’s renewed offensive has miffed many BJP leaders, who are against encouraging a personality cult.
Gowda had earlier denied any cold war saying all aspects of governance as well as coordination with the party will be discussed during the forthcoming two-day Chintan Baithak.
The sulking former Chief Minister had earlier taken a dig at his successor Gowda, saying luck propelled him to the post.
“It is true that Sadananda Gowda rose to the chief minister’s post by virtue of his luck. Even former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy became the chief minister by his luck. I have no role in making Sadananda Gowda as chief minister,” Yeddyurappa said.
Yeddyurappa’s open remarks against Gowda, once considered his loyalist, come amidst his efforts to get a position for himself — chief ministership or state BJP presidentship.

Nitin Gadkari has no power to make B S Yeddyurappa, the most corrupt among all other chief ministers of saffron gang. While BJP makes lot of noise over corruption in general and while Narendra Modi is equally making it known to the BJP bosses that he wants to be the next prime minister and while BJP runs and grabs each single straw to stay alive in the high stakes game against Congress party led UPA-II coalition it makes a sorry picture of a national party. No way BJP shall gain a strong foot hold in UP. The same as Congress and Mulayam Singh’s SP.
The municipal elections in Maharashtra did not bring BJP any glory either. Even their long time friend and a steady as rock ally, Shiv Sena considers BJP as a habitual losers.
Mohan Bhagwat’s grand strategy to de-link L K Advani from the ultimate power (seat) has backfired. L K is as good as BS and Namo. Loose cannons in Hindutva.
Run, Nitin run. Good for your over extended tummy (fascist fat).

At least now the BJP should realise the key to power is in the hands of people and not particular leaders. It should have sacked BSY when the first scandal broke out, but it hung on to his apron unable to shed power. In the process, it has lost face and is now also losing power. If it had acted in the first place like it did to keshubhai patel in Gujarat, it would have come back with a majority of its own with the people’s backing. Power is a finicky woman. She woos those who scorn her and scorns those who woo her. So long as the BJP was after ideology, it went from strength to strength. When it shed ideology and started sharing bed with corrupt leaders like Mayawati, Lalitha and BSY, it is shrinking in strength.

I am a BJP sympathiser. But looking to the developments in Karnataka in recent times, it is impossible for BJP to return to power in next elections in the state. There is still hope if cleaning operation is undertaken up by the party in right earnest. But that is not happening.

Yeddy wont yield this time .He is waiting for the opportune movement.
