Launching salvo at Republican leaders of Maharashtra state for derailing Dalit movement, Union Food and Consumer Affairs Minister and National President of Lok Janshakti Party Ram Vilas Paswan on Saturday said, these leaders have divided the movement in factions for their personnel goals. “Republican Party of India (RPI) has been divided in various factions in names of Ramdas Athawale, Jogendra Kawade, Prakash Ambedkar and others.

Paswan was in city to attend meet of Dalit Sena workers at Pragati Hall. Interacting with mediapersons, Paswan said, RPI have lost its sheen due to its leaders. Buddhist and non-Buddhist Dalits are too divided in the state. RPI is become party of only scheduled caste people and members of other communities don’t want to join the party. “We have made Lok Janshakti Party as party of all sections of society and classes in Bihar state just like Mayawati did in Uttar Pradesh,” said Paswan. 

At the same time, he once again raised the demand of reservation for Dalits in private sector and warned of stir. “Dalits needs reservation in Private sector as vary less number of jobs are available in the government sector,” Paswan claimed. On the issue of spate of rising atrocities against Dalits, Paswan said, Lok Janshakit Party will make efforts to strengthen Atrocity Act. Lok Janshakti Party and Dalit Sena will jointly conduct rally in Pune and then mega rally in Waransai at Uttar Pradesh, he said. 

Supporing BJP led NDA government on the issue of Land Ordinance, Paswan said, the ordinance is the need of hour as land is the important factor in the development. “The government wants to boost infrastructure in the country and it cannot be done without land acquisition. The act have promised good compensation and government jobs to farmers, whose land would be acquired,” he said. National working president of Dalit Sena Suryamani Bhiwgade, State President of Lok Janshakti Party Shamim Hawa, General Secretery of Dalit Sena Anil Tayde, Madan Kuttarmare, Satish Lonare and Prashant Chordiya were present.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

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 also ha

The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is
