[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 21st November. The two-phase Jharkhand Assembly elections, which concluded on November 20, have set the stage for a fiercely contested battle between the ruling I.N.D.I Alliance and the opposition NDA. With political dynamics in the state reflective of the larger national discourse, the exit poll predictions by various agencies paint a complex and uncertain picture. Here, we analyze the numbers, the implications, and the stakes for both major players while offering a concluding opinion on what this means for Jharkhand and the nation. The Exit Polls: A Snapshot of Uncertainty Polling agencies have offered diverse predictions, indicating a tight race between the two alliances. Agency BJP+ (NDA) I.N.D.I Alliance Others Axis My India 25 53 3 Dainik Bhaskar 37-40 (38) 36-39 (37) 0-2 (1) Matrize 42-47 (45) 25-30 (27) 1-4 (2) P-Marq 31-40 (35) 37-47 (42) 1-6 (3) People’s Pulse 44-53 (48) 23-37 (30) 5-9 (7) Times Now-JVC 40-44 (42) 30-40 (35) 1-1 (1) Average 38 37 3 This data underscores a few critical points: A Marginal Advantage for NDA? While the average predictions place the NDA marginally ahead with 38 seats compared to the I.N.D.I Alliance’s 37, the numbers are far too close for any definitive conclusions. The “Others” Factor: The Others, predicted to secure around three seats on average, could emerge as kingmakers if the final tally remains as tight as projected. Agency Divergence: The stark differences in forecasts—for instance, Axis My India giving a decisive lead to the I.N.D.I Alliance (53 seats) while Matrize and People’s Pulse predict clear victories for the BJP+—highlight the challenges in predicting voter behavior in Jharkhand. Key Issues Influencing Voter Sentiment Local Governance and Development The Hemant Soren-led government has relied on welfare schemes, tribal empowerment, and rural development initiatives to secure its position. However, allegations of corruption and inefficiency have provided ammunition for the opposition. National vs. Regional Narratives The NDA has leveraged national issues such as economic reforms, security, and the Modi government’s performance to garner votes. The I.N.D.I Alliance, on the other hand, has positioned itself as a defender of state autonomy and minority rights, emphasizing localized concerns. Tribal Vote Dynamics Jharkhand, with its significant tribal population, is a battleground for identity politics. The ruling alliance, particularly the JMM (Jharkhand Mukti Morcha), has historically dominated this demographic. The BJP’s efforts to make inroads here remain a decisive factor. Employment and Youth Concerns High unemployment rates and lack of industrialization continue to haunt Jharkhand’s youth. Both alliances have promised reforms, but skepticism persists among voters. Implications of the Results For the I.N.D.I Alliance: A victory would solidify Hemant Soren’s leadership and boost the broader alliance’s credibility ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Failure to retain power might fracture the alliance’s unity in the state, with smaller partners like Congress potentially reassessing their strategies. For the NDA: A win would signify a resurgence of BJP’s dominance in Jharkhand and bolster its position in eastern India. A loss would raise questions about its ability to counter regional alliances effectively in upcoming elections. For Jharkhand’s Politics: A fractured mandate would likely lead to coalition politics, potentially slowing governance and decision-making in the state. The Road Ahead: Challenges for the Victor Regardless of who takes the reins, the next government faces a daunting task. Ensuring political stability, addressing unemployment, resolving land rights issues for tribals, and curbing corruption will be critical to fulfilling the aspirations of the people. A Reflection on Jharkhand’s Political Landscape Jharkhand’s elections are emblematic of India’s complex political landscape, where regional aspirations often collide with national ambitions.

The narrow margins in exit poll predictions underscore a deeply polarized electorate, shaped by competing narratives of development, identity, and governance. The I.N.D.I Alliance’s reliance on regional identity politics faces stiff competition from the NDA’s push for a broader nationalistic agenda. This contest reflects a larger trend in Indian politics: the increasing importance of regional voices even as national parties attempt to consolidate their positions. In my opinion, these elections are a litmus test for the strength of alliances—both regional and national. They also signal the growing importance of nuanced, localized campaigns over one-size-fits-all strategies. Conclusion: Jharkhand at a Crossroads As Jharkhand awaits its assembly election results, the state stands at a critical juncture. The outcome will not only determine its immediate governance but also shape its long-term trajectory in terms of development, tribal welfare, and political stability. Whichever alliance emerges victorious must prioritize inclusivity, address pressing issues, and foster sustainable growth. Only then can Jharkhand truly fulfill its potential as a thriving state in India’s federal structure.   The post Jharkhand Assembly Elections 2024: A Tussle of Power and Predictions appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

Today in Politics: PM Modi's Post-Budget Address, Kejriwal Rally, and Assembly Drama

PM Modi to Address CII Post-Budget Conference

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to speak at the “Journey Towards Viksit Bharat: A Post Union Budget 2024–25 Conference” organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in Delhi on Tuesday. The conference will showcase the government’s vision for growth and the role of industry in achieving it. Over 1,000 participants from various sectors, including industry, government, and diplomacy, will attend in person, with many more joining virtually from across the country and abroad.

Opposition Rally for Kejriwal’s Release

Meanwhile, at Jantar Mantar, the opposition-led INDIA bloc is holding a rally organized by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to protest the continued detention of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Despite his declining health, Kejriwal remains incarcerated in the now-defunct liquor policy case. The rally, featuring Congress, SP, RJD, TMC, DMK, CPI, CPI(M-L), NCP (SP), and Shiv Sena (UBT), aims to demonstrate opposition unity. AAP has accused the BJP of attempting to harm Kejriwal, citing medical reports of his deteriorating health.

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, who is attending the rally, will miss the farewell event for outgoing Governor Banwarilal Purohit. Purohit, who has had a contentious relationship with Mann, will be replaced by Gulab Chand Kataria.

Rajasthan Assembly Turmoil

In BJP-ruled Rajasthan, opposition parties, led by Congress and the Bharat Adivasi Party (BAP), have caused disruptions in the Assembly over allegations of crimes against Dalits. The Assembly faced three adjournments on Monday, with Speaker Vasudev Devnani promising to address these concerns during Zero Hour. Key issues raised included the murder of a Dalit teacher and various alleged atrocities against Dalits.

Jharkhand Assembly Chaos

In Jharkhand, where a JMM-led alliance is in power, the Assembly experienced chaos as BJP MLAs raised concerns over alleged Bangladeshi infiltration and atrocities against tribals. The disruptions led to multiple adjournments, with further confrontations expected as the Assembly reconvenes. Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s strategy to focus on these issues ahead of upcoming state polls continues to drive the BJP’s stance.

Assam’s Welfare Review

In Assam, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is reviewing the progress of ongoing welfare projects with ministers, senior officials, and district commissioners in Guwahati. Sarma has emphasized the need for DCs to focus on their districts’ strengths and expedite construction of government buildings and development projects. The newly created sub-districts will begin operations on October 2, with foundation stones for their permanent offices to be laid.

Himachal Congress Leadership Changes

In Himachal Pradesh, Congress MP Pratibha Singh is in Delhi to meet with party president Mallikarjun Kharge. Singh, who also serves as the state Congress president, will present a detailed report on recent Lok Sabha and Assembly byelections and discuss potential changes to the party’s state organizational structure.

Lets Girls Be Born

Sex-selective elimination of female foetuses, often through the misuse of the very technology that was developed for the care of an unborn child, continues to be a problem.

Let Girls Be Born (LGBB) is an advocacy project through which Plan India, with the support of Plan International – Netherlands, works to end discrimination and fight female foeticide through effective implementation of the law. The project is currently active in Jharkhand, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

Innovations

Geo-tagged mapping of testing centres on a portal that strengthens Pre-Conception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques (PC & PNDT) cells through online tracking and compliance

Changes in Governance: Delegating Chief Medical Health Officer’s (CMHO) powers to the District Magistrate (DM) for effective enforcement of PC & PNDT Act and to prevent any probable collusion with the offenders

Plan India undertakes capacity building of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) who are trained at regional and block levels and then cascade their learning to peers and communities. These frontline workers (FLWs) coordinate, collaborate and consolidate efforts across the state to record and analyse data, identify and address gaps through grassroots level facilitation.

Plan also works with the state governments to showcase learning from other successful initiatives across India. Piloted in Rajasthan, the Mukhbir Yojana or Informant Scheme incentivises sharing of information on centres providing sex determination services or operating illegally. It is now also active in Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand. LGBB also works with volunteers empanelled by the State Legal Services Authority from the National Legal Awareness Programme and trained paralegals to disseminate information through Lok Adalats. The programme works with the communities on behaviour change and helps create a dialogue on roles for girls in the socio-economic context.

Active engagement with Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) has led to the display of ‘Guddi-Gudda’ boards within communities that present gender-segregated data. Effective tools for behaviour change, the boards drive ownership and spark reflection within communities over the issue of declining sex ratio. Peer educators and youth clubs have emerged as the backbone for community mobilisation and facilitation of on-ground actions. With work making rapid progress at both advocacy and grassroots levels, Plan is well on its way to ensure equality for girls’ right from their inception.

Highlights

Support to develop and manage the PC&PNDT portal in Jharkhand. Called ‘Garima Jharkhand’ the portal is being used to effectively monitor 938 registered ultrasound centres and genetic laboratories such as IVF centres.

1,632 girls enrolled for government’s flagship Sukanya Samiridhi Yojna with a total deposit of Rs 63,74,200 in the name of the girls by the parents.

848 girls enrolled for state-specific girl welfare schemes such as Mukhya Mantri Sukanya Yojna in Jharkhand, Rajshree Yojana in Rajasthan, and Kanya Sumangla Yojna in Uttar Pradesh.

99,650 community members reached with messaging on girls’ rights.

3000 students benefitted through the strengthening of Child Clubs and their libraries on gender equality in 15 schools of Jaipur.

PM Recalls Personal Bond With Tribals, Bats For Their Products At Aadi Mahotsav

Calling the welfare of tribal society a matter of personal relationship and emotions for him, the Prime Minister said the country is moving with unprecedented pride with regard to its tribal glory. THE INDIAN TRIBAL reports

New Delhi

Inaugurating the 15-day mega National Tribal Festival at Major Dhyan Chand Stadium here, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said events like Aadi Mahotsav have become movements and are presenting a grand picture of India’s tribal heritage during the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. He said that the Aadi Mahotsav represents a picture of the diversity and magnificence of India standing together shoulder to shoulder. “The Aadi Mahotsav is like an infinite sky where the diversity of India is projected like the colours of a rainbow”, the Prime Minister remarked.

Drawing a parallel with the colours of a rainbow coming together, the Prime Minister said that the nation’s magnificence also comes to the fore when its infinite diversities are threaded into the string of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshta Bharat’ and that is when India provides guidance to the entire world.

Upon arriving at the venue, the Prime Minister paid floral tributes to Bhagwan Birsa Munda and accompanied by Tribal Affairs Minister Arjun Munda took a walk-through of the stalls at the exhibition.

The PM said what was considered remote, now, the government is going there on its own and bringing the remote and neglected into the mainstream. Events like Aadi Mahotsav have become a movement in the country and he himself participates in many of them, he pointed out.

“Welfare of tribal society is also a matter of personal relationship and emotions for me. I have seen your traditions closely, lived them and learnt from them,” said the Prime Minister, remembering his close association with the tribal communities during his days as a social worker. 

While he informed that the tribal products find a place of pride in his gifts to foreign dignitaries, tribal tradition is presented by India as an integral part of Indian pride and heritage on global platforms.

He said, India conveys solutions to problems like global warming and climate change in the tribal way of life and emphasized the tribal community of India has a lot to inspire and teach with regard to sustainable development.

The PM highlighted the efforts of the government in promoting tribal products and asked the people, especially, those in Delhi/NCR to come in large numbers to the Aadi Mahotsav, see for themselves what India’s jungles are producing and also ensure the stocks of those who have put up stalls at venue are sold out.

He underlined tribal products should reach the maximum market and their recognition and demand should increase. Giving the example of bamboo, the Prime Minister noted that the previous government had prohibited the harvest and use of bamboo but it was the present government that included bamboo in the category of grass and abolished the prohibition.

Reflecting on this year’s Budget, the Prime Minister informed that PM Visvakarma Yojna has been introduced for traditional craftsmen where economical assistance will be provided apart from skill development and support in marketing their products.

“Tribal children, be they in any corner of the country, their education and their future is my priority,” the PM said. Pointing out the hardships faced by the tribal youth due to the language barrier, he threw light on the New Educational Policy where youth can opt to study in their mother tongues.

He also showcased that the nation has finally taken the step in the Amrit Mahotsav to bring these forgotten chapters of the past to the fore and said, “For the first time, the country has started celebrating Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas on the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda”.

Recalling the opportunity to inaugurate the museum dedicated to Bhagwan Birsa Munda in Ranchi, Jharkhand, he also noted that museums related to tribal freedom fighters are coming up in various states.

Even though it is happening for the first time, the Prime Minister said that its impression will be visible for many generations to come and will provide inspiration and give direction to the country for many centuries.

“We have to protect our past, take our sense of duty to the peak in the present, and make our dreams come true for the future”, the Prime Minister remarked as he stated that events like Aadi Mahotsav are a strong medium to take this resolution forward. He emphasized that the campaign should become a mass movement and stressed organizing such events in different states.

The Aadi Mahotsav, which celebrates the spirit of tribal culture, crafts, cuisine, commerce and traditional art, is an annual initiative of the Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation Limited (TRIFED) under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs. It is being organised from 16 to 27 February at Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium in Delhi.

The programme will showcase the rich and diverse heritage of tribes from across the country in over 200 stalls at the venue. Around 1000 tribal artisans will participate in the Mahotsav.

Since 2023 is being celebrated as the International Year of Millets, along with usual attractions like handicrafts, handloom, pottery, and jewellery among others, a special focus in the Mahotsav will be on showcasing Shree Anna grown by tribals.

Remembering the Pioneer of Indian Industry – The Life and Work of J. N. Tata

Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata was an entrepreneur, a philanthropist and a visionary leader who founded the Tata Group, India’s largest conglomerate. The tremendous success that Tata Group has today is the result of the vision and mission of our legendary founder Jamsetji Tata, who is also regarded as the “Father of Indian Industry”.

During his lifetime, India was firmly under British rule. However, driven by his deep love for his country, Jamsetji envisioned and implemented great initiatives that propelled India into the modern industrial age.

To mark the birth anniversary of the visionary, who played a pivotal role in the development of India through his industrial and philanthropic activities, we provide an overview of everything he accomplished in his life :

Jamsetji Tata was born on March 3, 1839, into a Parsi family. He was Nusserwanji Tata’s first child and only son. After graduating from Elphinstone College in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1858, he joined his father’s export-trading firm and worked there.

In 1868, 29-year-old Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata started a trading company with a capital of ₹21,000 — the early beginnings of what would one day become the Tata Group.

In the 1870s, J N Tata started his entrepreneurial journey with a textile mill in central India. In 1872, he focused on cotton manufacturing and established mills in Nagpur, Bombay, and Coorla.

In 1874, Jamsetji established a textile mill named Empress mills in Nagpur instead of Bombay — India’s textile hub. The Empress Mills experiment were proved to be a stroke of genius.

Jamsetji was always concerned about the welfare of his employees. He laid out plans for a conducive workplace, shorter working hours, and employee benefits such as provident fund and gratuity. In 1886, Empress Mills pioneers employee welfare initiatives, long before they are enacted by law. 150 years later, the Tata Group remains a ‘people-first’ enterprise.

Jamsetji realised that India needed a technologically proficient generation and thus established the JN Tata Endowment Scheme in 1892 to help Indian students pursue higher studies abroad.

Another of his dreams was that India should have expertise in science and technology, for its development. Thus, he founded Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (now Bengaluru) – an institution for advanced scientific education and research. In 1898, he pledged Rs. 3 million half of his personal fortune, towards setting it up.

He created the beautiful Taj Mahal Hotel in Bombay. He was once denied entry into a city hotel because of his Indian identity. This prompted him to construct an equally grand place for Indians. The Taj Mahal Hotel opens for business on December 16, 1903, at the cost of Rs 42 million.

Jamsetji founded Tata Steel, because he believed that steel was essential for our nation’s infrastructure, we should not be reliant on imported steel. He also pioneered India’s first major hydro-electric project, so that the city of Mumbai could have clean electric power.

His visions also included a well-planned city with a lot of greenery. The city, which is now known as Jamshedpur in Jharkhand, was borne out of his vision.

J N Tata had four dream ventures – setting up an iron and steel company, a world-class learning institution, a world-class hotel and a hydro-electric company. Only one of his dreams came true during his lifetime – the Taj Mahal Hotel.

Jamsetji Tata died in 1904. His other three dreams were realised by his sons : Tata Iron and Steel Company (now Tata Steel) was set up in 1907; Tata Power in 1910; and the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru in 1911. However, his legacy left a mark on these three institutions.

His Legacy

Jamsetji believed in nation-building and sought to provide India with what he felt was necessary for India’s economic development. He lived and dedicated his life for the love of our country.

“There is one kind of charity common enough among us… It is that patchwork philanthropy which clothes the ragged, feeds the poor, and heals the sick. I am far from decrying the noble spirit which seeks to help a poor or suffering fellow being… [However] what advances a nation or a community is not so much to prop up its weakest and most helpless members, but to lift up the best and the most gifted, so as to make them of the greatest service to the country.” – Jamsetji Tata

Jamsetji’s ideas and visions were more than just a business. He was a philanthropist who believed in selfless philanthropy, and his constructive philosophy became the tradition for the Tata Group.

[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 18th November. Jharkhand, with its rich tribal history and evolving socio-economic landscape, stands at the crossroads of urbanisation and rural development. The state’s political arena reflects this dichotomy, where rapid urbanisation clashes with rural realities, creating a stark divide that influences electoral outcomes, governance priorities, and social harmony. This divide is most evident in the contrasting political narratives of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), each vying for dominance in this complex environment. Urbanisation: BJP’s Stronghold Amidst Challenges Urban Jharkhand, dominated by cities like Ranchi, Jamshedpur, and Dhanbad, has become fertile ground for the BJP’s narrative of development and modernisation. Promises of improved infrastructure, 24-hour electricity, and beautification projects resonate deeply with urban voters. These voters, often distanced from the agrarian and tribal issues of rural Jharkhand, are drawn to the BJP’s focus on economic growth and urban planning. However, urbanisation in Jharkhand has been a double-edged sword. The rapid transformation of agricultural land into commercial spaces has outpaced the development of basic urban infrastructure. Water supply systems, waste management facilities, and drainage networks remain woefully inadequate, exposing the structural weaknesses behind the glitzy promises. Yet, BJP’s strong urban outreach and narrative overshadow these deficiencies, leaving opposition parties struggling to address these urban concerns effectively. Rural Realities: JMM’s Grassroots Connection In stark contrast, rural Jharkhand remains a bastion for the JMM and its allies, which have historically championed the cause of tribal and marginalised communities. Welfare programmes, such as direct cash transfers for women, pensions for the elderly, and food security initiatives, have cemented JMM’s appeal among rural voters. These policies address pressing concerns like poverty, inequality, and land rights, making JMM the natural choice for those prioritising social justice over urban growth. Rural voters, who often grapple with issues like land displacement, lack of education, and inadequate healthcare, see the BJP’s urban-centric narrative as out of touch with their realities. However, the JMM faces an uphill battle in expanding its appeal beyond these rural strongholds, particularly as urban voters increasingly demand policies aligned with modernisation and economic development. The Role of Communal Narratives A worrying trend in Jharkhand’s urban areas has been the BJP’s reliance on communal rhetoric to polarise voters. In cities with significant minority populations, elections often transform into contests of identity rather than governance. This strategy has not only deepened social divisions but also undermined the potential for inclusive policies that cater to both urban and rural populations. The communalisation of politics has placed secular parties like the JMM at a disadvantage. Their lack of sustained outreach in urban constituencies and inability to present a counter-narrative have allowed BJP to dominate this space. This polarisation risks turning elections into a battleground for religious and cultural identities, overshadowing pressing developmental issues. Bridging the Divide: Challenges and Opportunities To bridge the urban-rural divide, Jharkhand’s political landscape requires a recalibration of strategies. The JMM and its allies must go beyond welfare politics to address the aspirations of the urban electorate. Investments in urban infrastructure, coupled with a narrative of inclusive growth, can help them make inroads into urban constituencies.

Jharkhand’s diversity—comprising tribal, rural, and urban populations—demands a unifying narrative that transcends the binaries of development and identity politics.

[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 18th November. Jharkhand, with its rich tribal history and evolving socio-economic landscape, stands at the crossroads of urbanisation and rural development. The state’s political arena reflects this dichotomy, where rapid urbanisation clashes with rural realities, creating a stark divide that influences electoral outcomes, governance priorities, and social harmony. This divide is most evident in the contrasting political narratives of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), each vying for dominance in this complex environment. Urbanisation: BJP’s Stronghold Amidst Challenges Urban Jharkhand, dominated by cities like Ranchi, Jamshedpur, and Dhanbad, has become fertile ground for the BJP’s narrative of development and modernisation. Promises of improved infrastructure, 24-hour electricity, and beautification projects resonate deeply with urban voters. These voters, often distanced from the agrarian and tribal issues of rural Jharkhand, are drawn to the BJP’s focus on economic growth and urban planning. However, urbanisation in Jharkhand has been a double-edged sword. The rapid transformation of agricultural land into commercial spaces has outpaced the development of basic urban infrastructure. Water supply systems, waste management facilities, and drainage networks remain woefully inadequate, exposing the structural weaknesses behind the glitzy promises. Yet, BJP’s strong urban outreach and narrative overshadow these deficiencies, leaving opposition parties struggling to address these urban concerns effectively. Rural Realities: JMM’s Grassroots Connection In stark contrast, rural Jharkhand remains a bastion for the JMM and its allies, which have historically championed the cause of tribal and marginalised communities. Welfare programmes, such as direct cash transfers for women, pensions for the elderly, and food security initiatives, have cemented JMM’s appeal among rural voters. These policies address pressing concerns like poverty, inequality, and land rights, making JMM the natural choice for those prioritising social justice over urban growth. Rural voters, who often grapple with issues like land displacement, lack of education, and inadequate healthcare, see the BJP’s urban-centric narrative as out of touch with their realities. However, the JMM faces an uphill battle in expanding its appeal beyond these rural strongholds, particularly as urban voters increasingly demand policies aligned with modernisation and economic development.

An august requiem for Father Stan Swamy

The activist-priest faced charges in the Bhima Koregaon case for inciting caste violence. But something doesn’t quite add up

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain neutrality,” said medieval thinker Dante Alighieri. He could well have been speaking about the present times where conscience is flaming out. As we all go about worrying about our own lives in the Corona era, a lot more is happening during the lockdown — detentions, lockups, undertrials succumbing to inordinate delays and common people’s eternal wait for justice.

This is as much about Father Stan Swamy as it is about us. Sometimes the breath and conscience are all there is between the living and dead. If it does not simmer, a person may be living yet dead. Sometimes an individual’s death allows us to ponder over how alive we are — socially, politically and morally.

Father Stanislaus Lourduswamy died on a hospital bed in Mumbai under incarceration, waiting for an interim bail that never came. He was admitted to a private hospital and put on ventilator after contracting COVID in the cramped Taloja jail. Finally, on July 6, post-COVID aftereffects, Parkinson’s and the system’s apathy got the better of him. An ailing octogenarian who had no criminal record or history of violence was denied bail despite several appeals. His death left the system on a metaphorical ventilator; gasping for air, clamouring for a bailout.

Father Stan was born in Tamil Nadu and had imbibed his liberal ideas in the Philippines. He chose to work for the welfare of tribals in Jharkhand. He was also a Jesuit priest, a Christian missionary working in tribal areas. These two descriptions are enough to make his credentials suspect. A “liberal activist” conveniently translates as “Maoist”. Christian missionary swaps well for a conversion enthusiast. One could wonder why it took him so long to earn the system’s ire. Was it his credentials or his work in tribal areas that did him in? It wasn’t. It was when he threw the spanner in the works by questioning Adani’s political juggernaut. He objected to the forceful acquisition of land for the Adani power plant in Godda at a throwaway price. The project got hasty environmental clearances from the Government in 2017. The landowners were never paid what was due to them. The project had enormous environmental costs as well. For clearing forests, gram sabha’s consent was never sought.

Father Stan was asking uncomfortable questions, making the powers-that-be nervous. He filed a PIL in 2017 against the detention of 72 prisoners in Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district. Adivasi and Dalit youths were jailed under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). Their only crime was that they had protested the illegal acquisition of their land and forests. They stood against the corporations that had the State’s backing. Three years later, he was also booked under the UAPA in far-off Maharashtra.

The message was loud and clear: You do not mess with the system. If you do, the system will fix you, slowly but surely. He was one of the 16 accused in what is now known as the Bhima Koregaon case for inciting caste violence and plotting to assassinate the Prime Minister. He was arrested from his ashram in Ranchi and locked up in Taloja jail in October 2020. It is interesting to note how the system works. The 40-odd policemen arrested him within hours after the orders. Nevertheless, the trial for such a sensitive case is yet to start. Our system does work, though selectively!

A liberal by intellect and a God-fearing Christian by heart, the two opposites met in him and synthesised. Thanks to NIA, he holds the rare distinction of being the oldest person to be charged for terror activities. He was treated as a petty criminal without any entitlements and privileges that should have come with his age, if nothing else. He suffered from Parkinson’s and could not even sign or hold a cup to drink water. He fell down several times. It took just eight months to kill him.

The Bhima Koregaon case would take years to decide. The NIA and public prosecutors would indeed have evidence to prove he was involved. The judge would listen to the plea of both sides and decide. Of course, he would not consider reports that the laptop was hacked and injected with malware to plant evidence against Stan; more so if the newspaper happens to be Washington Post.

The judges are not supposed to work under media pressure or the Government, no matter how high-profile the case may be. Bail is not an undertrial’s right but a judge’s discretion, his call based on facts presented before him. That Father Stan could wage a war against the State from a hospital bed or destroy evidence with his trembling hands or could have jumped bail though he could not walk, these facts must have crossed the judge’s mind while declining his bail petition. He died 46 days later. In the film Jolly LLB, the judge quips: “Kanoon andha hota hai judge nahin, usey sab dikhta hai” (Law is blind, not the judge; he sees everything)”. Wish the judge had seen the truth through. He could have bailed out the judiciary!

TMC govt did nothing for migrant workers, Congress will ensure direct cash transfer if elected : Adhir Chowdhury

KOLKATA: Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Adhir Chowdhury on Wednesday said the party will ensure direct cash transfer to every poor in the state if elected to power. The Congress leader slammed the TMC government in West Bengal for not doing anything for migrant workers who returned to the state during the lockdown. Chowdhury said the Congress had mooted the proposal of direct cash transfer to the migrant labourers with the objective to ensure that the poor have enough liquid cash in the lockdown and post lockdown situation and the Centre had announced a Rs 50,000 crore project for them. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had advocated giving liquid cash to every poor person in the country as the party’s poll promise before the 2019 Lok Sabha poll, he said. “It was not empty promise. In Chhatisgarh we have already channelised over Rs 5,700 to the pocket of every poor person. We will ensure it is implemented in West Bengal too if we are elected to power in the 2021 state election,” the Congress leader said. He said it was due to the West Bengal government’s attitude that the migrant labourers from Bengal are yet to get the benefits of the central project as the state did not send the required list of districts having 25,000 migrant labourers. Expressing doubts whether chief minister Mamata Banerjee was “at all concerned” about the plight of migrant workers who left the state after the lockdown, he said in a video mesage, “Didi (Banerjee) at least spare a thought for them. After suffering such grave financial distress during the lockdown and return to their home state, they had to leave again as they found little employment opportunities here”. Pointing out that migrant workers contribute to the state’s economy by sending money to their families, Chowdhury, who is also the WBPCC president, said “But you (Banerjee) have no time to think about them.” He said, “The migrant labourers from the state are deprived of the central package as you have not sent the names of districts having 25,000 migrant labour population, which is a criteria for getting the fund.” “While many other states like Chhatisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh have been able to avail the fund for their migrant workers by compiling the required list and sending it to the Centre, West Bengal played traunt … The Mamata Banerjee government does not seem to have any plan for its own people,” he said. Comparing the TMC government’s announcement of several social welfare campaigns before the assembly poll to the end of season ‘Chaitra sale’ (discount offers by shopkeepers in Bengal in the Hindu month of Chaitra to attract customers before Bengali New Year), the Congress MP said “Suddenly Didi has woken up to people’s issues after ten years in power”. “With the elections round the corner she (Banerjee) is announcing one project after another. From ‘Didi ke bolo’ (Tell Didi), to ‘Duare Sarkar’ (government at the doorstep) to ‘Paray Paray Samadhan’ (solution to local problems). “You (Banerjee) talk about Swasthya Sathi. Do you have belief in state health schemes? Otherwise why do your near ones go abroad for treatment?” he said. Chowdhury alleged that West Bengal government is also not bothered about the increase in the prices of essential commodities. The Congress leader demanded that members of Kurmi community living in Purulia be given ST status. “Once I had raised the issue in Parliament and took up the matter with the Centre. I was told that the Centre will do its bit after the government adopts a resolution in the assembly for granting ST status to the Kurmi community. So please do the needful,” he added.
