Cong prepares to contest all 294 seats in Bengal

Cong prepares to contest all 294 seats in Bengal

New Delhi, Mar 21 (PTI): With a stalemate in its alliance with Trinamool Congress for West Bengal Assembly elections, Congress is preparing to contest all the 294 seats in the state. A final call in this regard will be taken by party chief Sonia Gandhi. A clear indication to this effect was given by senior Congress leader Shakeel Ahmed, who is in-charge of party affairs in West Bengal. "We are preparing three lists - for 64 seats, 90 seats and all 294 seats ...as a political party must have candidates for all seats," Ahmed told reporters here. At the same time, he said Congress wanted the alliance to take place. "Congress still wants the alliance" and party leaders from West Bengal will abide by "whatever decision Congress high command takes in this regard," he said.

Didi tastes what Cong feels  Seat protest at Mamata home

OUR BUREAU

Trinamul activists from Tamluk squat in front of Mamata's Kalighat home on Sunday. (Sanat Kumar Sinha) March 20: If Mamata Banerjee needed first-hand experience to gauge what the Congress must be feeling, her own supporters obliged her today at her doorstep. Trinamul Congress activists from three districts squatted or demonstrated in front of Mamata's Kalighat home to protest the choice of some party candidates announced by her on Friday. A common factor was that some of the protests were against "outsiders", including actor Chiranjeet. Mamata has fielded several apolitical persons from different walks of life against the political war horses of the Left. Also among the protesters were some from Tamluk, the gateway to Nandigram which changed Mamata's political fortunes. Party sources said Mamata could be forced to take a re-look at a few of the nominees because of the dissent that broke through the veneer today. The public show of discontent came on a day the Trinamul candidate from Entally, Tarak Banerjee, said he had "informed" his party that he "did not want to contest the seat". Party sources said Mamata was "angry" with Tarak for "breaking party discipline". Tarak, whose constituency Cossipore has ceased to exist because of delimitation, had wanted to contest from either Shampukur or Jorasanko, the sources said. Around 4pm, more than 100 Trinamul activists from East Midnapore's Tamluk gathered in front of Mamata's home and squatted for two hours. They were protesting the decision to field Somen Mahapatra from the seat. The Trinamul activists, apparently owing allegiance to Chittaranjan Maity, who had unsuccessfully contested the seat on the party's ticket in the 2006 Assembly polls, demanded that the "outsider" Mahapatra be replaced with "a son of the soil". Mahapatra is a resident of Panskura, 26km from Tamluk. The protesters also wanted Mamata to come out and meet them. When the Trinamul chief sent her additional secretary Ratan De to pacify them, the protesters turned more restive. "Didi had gone on a 26-day hunger strike in 2006 to protest the forcible land acquisition in Singur. We will organise a similar strike here for two days if she does not meet us," one of the protesters shouted. When De failed to assuage the activists, Mamata sent Trinamul state unit president Subrata Bakshi. Bakshi, who knew some in the crowd, called one of them, Ram Maity, aside and told him that Mamata would meet them only after they submitted their grievances in writing to her. "We have been associated with Trinamul since its formation in 1998. But the person who has been given the ticket from Tamluk is a non-entity in the area," Ram Maity was heard telling Bakshi. However, Bakshi finally prevailed on the protesters to leave. The tremors of the protest were felt in the district, too, with Trinamul activists protesting in front of Chittaranjan Maity's Tamluk home for "encouraging dissidents". In Patashpur, Trinamul supporters vandalised six party offices to protest the candidature of Jyotirmoy Kar from the seat. The protesters said Kar was an "outsider". Similar scenes of discontent played out in Panskura too. Party activists protested Omar Ali's nomination from Panskura, saying "he had done nothing" during his tenure as chairman of the local civic board. Immediately after the protesters from Tamluk left, Trinamul workers from Burdwan South arrived in front of Mamata's home and protested the nomination of Swarup Dutta. They said a "weak candidate" like Dutta should not have been pitted against the "formidable" Nirupam Sen of the CPM. Among the demonstrators were members of the Sain family. On March 17, 1970, three members of the family were killed allegedly by CPM activists for being Congress supporters. As the party workers from Burdwan were protesting, they were joined by a group of 20 Trinamul supporters from North 24-Parganas' Barasat. The protesters from Barasat said a "proper party functionary", and not actor Chiranjeet, should have been fielded from the seat. The agitators from the two districts dispersed after senior party leaders, including Bakshi, spoke to them. Some rebellious heads are rising in Jorasanko, too, Trinamul sources said. Several party workers and activists are resenting the denial of ticket to sitting MLA Dinesh Bajaj and the nomination of Santilal Jain from the seat. "Jain may not get the support of Muslims as he earlier belonged to the BJP," a Trinamul leader said. PROBLEM SEATS Entally Jorasanko Barasat Burdwan South Tamluk Panskura Patashpur http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110321/jsp/bengal/story_13742588.jsp WikiLeaks timing 'intrigues' Ronen - Former envoy draws Peeping Tom parallel, speaks of 'red faces' had he revealed Soviet secrets ARCHIS MOHAN Ronen Sen New Delhi, March 20: Ronen Sen, the former ambassador to the US who played a crucial role in helping wrap up the nuclear deal, has told The Telegraph in an interview that he finds the timing of the WikiLeaks controversy in India intriguing. Sen said that as India's ambassador to Russia after the downfall of the Soviet Union, he had access to material from the communist party archives that could have caused embarrassment and lots of "red" faces in India. Sen added that the pun was "intended". Excerpts from the interview follow: Question: There are questions about the veracity of these cables… Ronen Sen: Nobody except the US government can vouch for the veracity of the leaked cables. It has decided neither to confirm nor deny these. Some people have talked about pursuing the sources and confirmation of additional identities. This seems to be an unrealistic expectation in the circumstances. The veracity or authenticity of these documents is not a central issue. What intrigues me really is the timing of their publication. It could be coincidental, but the timing in terms of the domestic context.... I should clarify that I have never been associated with a political party nor do I intend to. I have worked with every government. So I do not want to inject that into this at all. But the timing is intriguing. The documents leaked are not so much in terms of substance, but in terms of some aspects.... But it could cause embarrassment both to the UPA as well as to the BJP, essentially, and no one else —but only so far. But that could change. What dismays me, what I find somewhat strange and even demeaning is that to focus so much attention, so much detailed analysis into the thinking of the US embassy in Delhi and treating it almost like an oracle of Delhi, whose reports are being dissected and debated in such detail and attracting so much public attention. At best, these are subjective analyses or interpretations of diplomats on the basis of their contacts. We should not also presume that each and every conversation reported is true. I have personally come across instances of diplomats, our own and from some other countries, attributing remarks to people which I knew were either not true or taken out of context. For example, our embassy in Moscow sent a wrong assessment after the August 1991 coup attempt. Soviet predictions of the 1977 and 1980 Lok Sabha elections were wrong. Hardly any embassy sent correct assessments of the 2004 or the 2009 elections in India. Q: Should diplomatic contacts be controlled or restricted? Sen: There are no restrictions on direct contacts with ministers, governors, chief ministers, political leaders or any individuals which I encountered in Russia, Germany, the UK, the US and also Mexico. Only autocratic countries have controlled or restricted access. However, we should cut back on the free run of airports and other restricted areas given to a few embassies here. Q: Is this interference in internal affairs? Sen: Now, I want to tell you about the role of diplomats, at least as far as my experiences as ambassador in Russia, Germany, London and the US are concerned. It is very much the part of the job of the ambassador and the embassy, and those working with him or her, to establish widespread contacts prior to major elections and send detailed reports after these elections and major political developments and there implications for India. As diplomats, we meet heads of states and governments, if possible, but in any case cabinet ministers, governors, chief ministers or equivalents, speakers, chairpersons and ranking members of major committees. We monitor very closely who is in what post, how are they inclined, etc…. There is a wide cross-section of people we deal with. We seek direct access to them and assess and identify in governments or parliaments or other sections of society those who are positive towards us, those who are ambivalent or have not made up their mind or have no view, or those who are opposed to our positions on certain issues. Our task is to try to either bypass or neutralise opponents, convert fence-sitters and support committed friends. So a lot of it is dangerously skirting areas which can be considered to be exceeding your job as a diplomatic representative of your country. But we have to be flexible and we are quite open about it. We have to get over this colonial-era legacy of continually seeing people as those who are trying to dominate us, subjugate us or manipulate us. India is not what it was in 1947 as it is today. India is not the same today as it was in the 1980s or even in the 1990s. India is changing and the world is changing and we have not unfortunately got over that mentality. What we have to do is change the mentality and look forward with a little bit of confidence. Q: Why do you see a problem with the timing of the leak of these cables? Sen: I don't think there is any problem with timing. I am just intrigued. This is not the first time. Earlier also we had the opportunity of accessing documents. From personal experience, I can tell you when I was ambassador in Russia shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union we could have accessed documents which are in the communist party archives. Documents relating to India and contacts relating to a number of other issues…. Q: So these contained explosive details? Sen: I don't know. Let's put it this way: it would have led to a lot of red faces in India. I mean it. Pun is intended. But honestly, what purpose would it have served? Would it have served our interests? Some people may have got titillated, you know, Peeping Toms. There is always a child in us… in everybody. But would it have furthered our interests in any way? Okay, it may have been of some historical interest but we were looking at that time to a new Russia, not the Soviet Union. Things had moved on and my view has always been that we look ahead. Q: What were the documents about? Sen: It will not serve any purpose. It would have caused embarrassment. Q: How do you view the content of the cables? Sen: It just goes on to show that our relationship with the US on terrorism is much more than any other country in the world. It is worth more than all the rest of the countries in the world combined. It shows the US and India are very closely co-ordinating on a number of other issues in the region which was not the case earlier. In fact, it was the reverse. It shows that on many issues, including Afghanistan and Pakistan. On Iran, the cables have a limited perspective. It does not reflect reality. It is shown that they were caught by surprise by our decisions. The reality is that decisions were being made not on the basis of American pressure. That is the reality. I know that for a fact. No quid pro quo. So, a lot of the froth that you see, a lot of this gnashing of teeth is on something not based on reality. It was exactly as the Prime Minister said, taken in enlightened national interest. http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110321/jsp/nation/story_13742701.jsp Free mixie in DMK mix OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT Chennai, March 20: As the DMK released another election manifesto packed with freebies yesterday, those under real threat were not the Opposition parties but retailers of home appliances and computers. On offer is either a free mixie or a grinder for poor housewives (to make idli and dosa batter) whose families hold a ration card. Another eye-catching promise is that of free laptops for students from the Backward Communities, Most Backward Communities, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes when they enrol in engineering courses at government colleges. However, the number of the beneficiaries is not likely to exceed 12,000 as the bulk of the 1 lakh engineering seats in the state are in private colleges. The promise does not extend to students admitted to private colleges under the 35 per cent government quota. DMK president M. Karunanidhi released the manifesto for the April 13 elections. The party has bettered its 2006 promise of Rs 1.35-a- kilo rice for the poorest by offering 35kg rice free of cost every month to 18.65 lakh poor families. Karunanidhi, a wheelchair-bound octogenarian, has announced two schemes for senior citizens: free passes for city buses for those above 60 and a free monthly house call by a doctor for elders who are not mobile. The AIADMK, expected to release its manifesto later this week, is likely to match these freebies and welfare measures. According to AIADMK sources, Jayalalithaa is expected to offer both a free grinder and a mixie instead of just one of the two. She may also offer one sovereign worth of gold for the mangalasutra worn by poor brides, as well as free cable TV connections. Smelling poll plot, Cong digs heels in SANJAY K. JHA Sushma Swaraj New Delhi, March 20: The BJP's aggressive stand on the WikiLeaks reports has hung a shadow over next week's proceedings in Parliament when the Finance Bill is to be passed in both Houses. Parliament shut down on Friday after the Prime Minister's clarification on the cash-for-votes controversy failed to satisfy the BJP. Congress leaders have ruled out any possibility of the government yielding more, and have hinted that they are ready to push the Finance Bill through even amid turmoil. They feel that a debate on the WikiLeaks reports would be futile, and allege that the BJP wants to disrupt Parliament to try and "de-legitimise" the government and create conditions for snap elections. Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said the BJP's attempt to reinvent the potential of the cash-for-votes controversy should not be seen in isolation. He cited how the BJP had recently tried to disrupt Parliament using grounds such as kiosk allotment in Chandigarh and an income-tax notice to a Gujarat official. Singhvi linked the BJP's current tactics to L.K. Advani's alleged desperation to fulfil his ambitions and scoffed: "He will remain the Prime Minister-in-waiting till eternity." The Congress leadership is in no mood for snap elections. The BJP's problem is that most other parties are not keen on early elections because of their own compulsions. Mulayam Singh Yadav's recent statement that there is "no threat to the government", which came at a time the Congress was fighting a war of nerves with the DMK, has shown up the fragility of Opposition unity and underlined the leverage Manmohan Singh enjoys despite his thin majority. A Samajwadi Party leader told The Telegraph: "We are not in a position to fight a Lok Sabha election now. Our target is the 2012 Uttar Pradesh elections, and we don't want the BJP to regain its strength till then." Every Opposition party had walked out of the Lok Sabha on the WikiLeaks issue on Thursday, except the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). Like the Samajwadis, the BSP would not want to see a resurgent BJP till the Uttar Pradesh elections, thus offering the Congress more elbow room in national politics. Lalu Prasad's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) too would not want the BJP in power because that would strengthen Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar. Senior RJD leader Raghuvansh Prasad Singh said: "An alternative government is not possible in this Lok Sabha, and no party except the BJP wants an election now. I have no hesitation in saying that this government's survival is due primarily to a lack of an alternative, and that it will carry on like this if the Congress doesn't wake up to firm up its political management. Although corruption has vitiated the national scene, much of the government's crisis is because of lack of management." Congress leaders, though, question the perception about Congress "apathy" and accuse the BJP of using "obstructionism" as a political tool. A senior cabinet minister said: "There was no 2G, no CWG, no WikiLeaks in 2004 but the BJP enacted a drama to prove that Manmohan Singh was presiding over the most corrupt government. Because of Lalu Prasad's presence in the government, they created an issue about tainted ministers and didn't allow the Prime Minister to speak for the first two years." Most Congress leaders agree. Some of them had hoped for a new beginning when the BJP's second generation — Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley — took over from Advani and vowed to act as a constructive Opposition. Now more and more Congress leaders are beginning to believe that the new leader of the Opposition is more combative than Advani. http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110321/jsp/nation/story_13742700.jsp Congress seals pact with Trinamool for West Bengal assembly polls Sify - ‎4 minutes ago‎ New Delhi/Kolkata, March 21 (IANS) Giving in to the seat-sharing agreement unilaterally announced by Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, the Congress Monday sealed an electoral pact with her party for the April-May West Bengal assembly polls. ...
