SAD-BJP alliance befooling people

Talwara: The rulling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and Bharti Janta Party (BJP) alliance is just befooling the people of the Punjab state with false and hollow statements, Mr. Ramesh Chander Dogra Ex-cabinet minister of Punjab and senior Congress leader expressed these views here while talking to local mediapersons in BBMB Guest House Talwara. He alleged that the ruling party has stepped back from its election manifesto and trying to allure general public with useless statements which may never be realised. He explained that the alliance had promised to provide cheap ration i. e. flour for Rs. 4/- per kg and pulses for Rs. 20/- per kg to all but when they took charge they start chaniging colours by fixing new conditions and redifining this most propagated scheme. Now they limited this to the BPL Below Powery Line people which already have been given such benefits even more lesser rates by the then Cong govt. He asserted that the Punjab govt. should immidiatly provide wheat and pulses on that rate to all the citizens of Punjab regardless of their income.
Mr. RC Dogra who had been Minister for Health & Family Welfare and then afterwards Minister for Technical Education Punjab in the previous Cong govt. added that Akalis and BJP are behaving like as if they are living in a fool's paradise and they are aimlessly firing daily new statements for this or that work to be done in Punjab but in reality they are failed to manage the govt. so far in the state. He said the govt. teachers are waiting for their salaries for many months and the CM is talking about new educational projects.
He said that Cong has always been keen for the overall development of the nation and in Punjab Cong has great dev projects and some of our projects are being completed now, of which Akalis are trying to be credited just by inagurating these projects.
He said the people of Dasuya legislative assembly area are coming to him telling many stories of dictatorship of the sitting MLA who is looking much busy distributing the Center Govt's welfare and dev cheques and the Blue Card for BPL public in villages here. He said the Cong party will never tolerate any dictatorship or falsehood in the state and keen in the true welfare of the public.

Of Rains and Floods

• In India the Monsoon has become quite unpredicted. The month of Sawan or July/August is usualy rainy season in Punjab and other neighbouring states, but this time the story is different. We have mearge rainfalls and on the other hand, there are floods in Bihar state. It seems the monsoons are emptying rainy clauds en-route and it is causing prolonged summer season here.
• Badals (literal meaning 'clouds') come and go, we have little showers in the name of rains. Sweating, viral fever and suffocating climate is prevailing here.
• And news are also violent and bloody.... a youth in Hoshiarpur Govt. College stabbed a girl whom he wanted to be his beloved. This one sided 'love' appeared naked hullingaism in the city. The eve-teasers are becoming more and more violent. The ill-fated girl was a promising student of B. A. Final year.
• In GTU (Govt. Teacher Union Punjab) is going to held demonstration in the hometown of the Education Minister Punjab Mrs. Upinderjit Kaur on 11 August 2007. They have a 3-point demands ie 1. to stop engaging govt. teachers for non-teaching tasks, 2. to stop political interferance in teachers' transfers, 3. to ensure regular monthy salaries of teachers etc. There are other demands also. The Union's Gen. Scy state Mr. Shiv Kumar told mediapersons that all negotiations with govt. officials failed and they are left with no other option than to stage demonstration in from the residence of the EM.
• People are worried for the deteriorating condition of almost 700 residencial quarters of BBMB colony in Sector 3 and Sector 2. It's been more than a year passed after the deptt had abandoned there well built quarters. Still there is no visible policy for the welfare of BBMB colony. Would that the Energy Minister India and the Chairman of BBMB turn up and heal the township!
