Maharashta State Council of Communist Party of India (CPI), on Tuesday, demanded White Papers on first phase of Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), and also voiced its opposition to direct transfer of cash subsidy scheme. It also demanded judicial probe into multi-crore irrigation scam.

Dr Bhalchandra Kango, Secretary of CPI State Council, told reporters after the Council’s day-long meeting held in the city that direct transfer of cash subsidy scheme was aimed at rolling back public distribution system (PDS). “PDS is important in curbing price rise of essential commodities and ensuring proper prices for agricultural commodities. However, with direct transfer of cash subsidy, this system may be scrapped indirectly,” he said. CPI will create awareness among people about this, he added.

On the issue of Food Security Bill, Kango said that CPI would submit a memorandum with 5,00,00,000 signatures to the President of India and the Prime Minister of India in the month of March. On February 20 and 21, all Left parties had announced two-day strike to protest price rise, to press for application of social security measures to unorganised sector, abolition of contract system etc. CPI State Council also demanded White Paper on first phase of JNNURM to make it clear to people as to who got benefits of the scheme.

Flaying the State Government for poor handling of drought situation in Marathwada, Kango said that CPI had taken out a ‘Dushkal Dindi’ (rally) from village Jintur in Parbhani district from January 18. The rally would reach Aurangabad on January 24. He opposed the Government move to allow 89 thermal power projects in Vidarbha and allocating water from irrigation reservoirs to these projects.

CPI State Council also attacked the State Government over multi-crore irrigation scam and said that White Paper or appointment of Chitaley Committee were superficial measures to kill time till people were pacified. Kango demanded judicial probe into the scam to nail those responsible for non-creation of irrigation potential despite incurring huge expenditure of Rs 70,000 crore. Jammu Anand, Manohar Deshkar, Tukaram Bhasme, Shyam Kale and Purushottam Gotmare were present at the press conference.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...
