Only obcs getting benefit currently not sc/stBy: merealindian | Friday , 17 Jul '09 13:22:59 PM Reply | Forward Obcs are having 27% percent reservation sc 6% and st 14%. Obcs are getting maximum benefit in this country. Even obcs marry upper caste girl or boy. But SC/st are socially downwards and dont have equality. Mayawati is doing right in what has been done by Upper caste people up till now. Congress is leaning towards obcs now as their percentage high and disgust sc/st as they are not its vote bank. Congress cuddles muslims for votes. Most upper caste people therre in cong and less muslims. Congress just made for power and use muslim card always. SC/st peopl should come up with their own big organisation. Even muslims are benefited but not sc/st people. sc/st people are harassed lot of places. I myself have gone through that in school

Equality for all citizensBy: concernedindian | Saturday , 18 Jul '09 17:54:03 PM Reply | Forward It is true that SC/STs were harassed by upper caste people once upon a time and in some places they still do. But is there any logic for Mayawati to do the same unreasonable things as way of revenge or otherwise just because others did the same to her. If a daughter-in-law was ill-treated by her mother-in-law, should the daughter-in-law do the same to her own daughter-in-law just because she faced ill-treatment. The same goes for ragging. Should I rag my junior just because my seniors ragged me. Should our country give equal rights to all citizens or preferential treatment based on caste, religion, etc. Anger or revenge is not going to solve our country's problems.

Mayawati follows the path she inherited from Congress partyBy: danendra jain | Friday , 17 Jul '09 9:07:12 AM Reply | Forward Rita Bahuguna Joshi Congress party state president in the state of UP used some bad language in her speech, everyone accept it. She begged apology for slip of tongue and regretted for the same, all understand and have sympathy for Rita Joshi. Mayawati CM in UP, in her usual style of taking revenge from her political rivals booked Rita Bahuguna under various non-bailable sections of IPC including SCST act .And in the morning itself Rita was sent to jail which may appear as if the UP administration is the quickest in action when there is case of attrocities on Dalit woman. Rita is now under 14 day’s judicial custody as per the instruction of the magistrate.Here one point to be noted is that when Mr. Varun Gandhi BJP leader used some bad language during recently concluded election and regretted for the same quickly, entire non-BJP parties and Congress party in particular thought it fit to support the whimsical action of Mayawati government. Now the same Congress party or any other

CONGRESS MEN AND WOMEN ARE GOING OVERBOARD TO PLEASE ITALIAN PLANTBy: n.krishna | Friday , 17 Jul '09 8:50:24 AM Reply | Forward After coming to power by manipulating the EVM with CIA SOFTWARE with the help of persons like GILL, CHAWLA, the congress persons are going overboard to please the Italian plant Antonia Maino alias Sonia Gandhi. The DD channels have been converted to christian conversion channels by this Rome plant. She is also blocking websites, disfiguring postings planting christian everywhere..

MayawatiBy: Dharmendra | Friday , 17 Jul '09 8:17:58 AM Reply | Forward Dear All,Will anybody tell me the total amount wasted on statue by India`s greatest leader MAYAWATI

MrBy: nk jain | Friday , 17 Jul '09 7:47:37 AM Reply | Forward Mayawati is a self obsessed. If she can get away with making unholy remarks about Bapu, or collection of money for B'day bash from public servants,or declaring her ill gotten money as gift from supporters, then why can't Rita Bahuguna comment on her.If every leader or CM of state glorifies himself by making statues worth 900 cr then one can well imagine the scene.Even a despot like Chautala installed statues of Tau Devilal and not his own.It is a dangerous trend.Mayawati is Saddam Hussen in making.

Maya resents Sonia's 'silence' over Joshi's slurBy: BG Subhash | Friday , 17 Jul '09 7:33:55 AM Reply | Forward Today Su Shri Mayawati is no more a Dalit. She now belongs to Higher class of India .There are some lessons from Mayawati to Indian vote bank seeking politicians.1.It is not enough to put laws to protect SC/ST and in fact it is now known that even on flimsy issues a Dalit whether he is at fault or not can put a case! The law needs to be revised.2. Just the way Mrs Rita Joshi is suffering many Bank/Govt employees are at the mercy of SC/ST employees. Many branch managers of Nationalized banks don`t ask any questions to SC/ST employees whether they come to duty or not? There is a lesson for them in the Mayawati episode.This is the time Govt employees must raise this issue of harrasment in the hands of SC/ST employees to the political class and ensure the efficient operation of Govt Institutions.One of the friend of Kanshiram told me that some time back that at Hindustan Antibiotics Pune, harrasment at the hands of Kanshiram was a daily affair!He was a law unto himself!

Mayawati - A bane for IndiaBy: Vinay Syal | Friday , 17 Jul '09 4:30:25 AM Reply | Forward Crooks like Mayawati are the product of cast politics. In1950 Government of India adopted reservation SC/ST only for 10 years and since then no government had the courage to abolish this reservation after the completion of 10 years. The irony is corrupt persons like Mayawati have become the chief ministers of the states and looting the states and the country to fulfill their own coffers. Her whole politics revolves around self advancement at the cost of the people. Rita Joshi's comments are deplorable but Mayawati made the same statements around 2 years back and she has also used derogatory words for The Father of the Nation Mahatam Gandhi. If Rita Joshi has to go to jail because of what she uttered then Mayawati should also have been put behind the bars. Howcome Mayawati took immediate action for arrestng Rita Joshi then how about the action against the BSP goons who burnt Rita Joshi's house. Mayawati is playing a dirty game with no vision except revenge.Abolish cast reservation.

MayawatiBy: GNS | Friday , 17 Jul '09 4:14:35 AM Reply | Forward Congress should give up this DYNASTY politics at the Centre as well as in the States.Those Congressmen who come up normally will NOT speak this kind of gutter language.This lady is obviously very rich and can afford to take liberties paying little attention to either civilities or concern for real victims.In another decade of India, a Congress leader visits the victims,enquires of their situation,offers help in prosecuting the perpetrators.But today ALL our politicians are least interested in people's concerns.They are more keen to play up things in media and see their score at their high command.This lady Joshi MUST be sacked forthwith.I am not saying Mayawati is competent as CM of UP.But she should be allowed to go down with her own incompetence,not by Sonia's spoon playing power politics.May I request IE not to publish comments in all capital letters of some readers as it is disgusting to read these lazy bums' comments ? Put a warning to that effect.

Casteism being used to cover up on administrative lapsesBy: niharika sharma | Friday , 17 Jul '09 4:08:01 AM Reply | Forward It is apalling to see people in public office voted by our very own electorate battle on petty issues like caste which by constitution should not be used as a prejudice against anyone.In this case it it is being by our elected representatives to cover up on their respective administrative lapses.

A woman of clayBy: Eddy | Friday , 17 Jul '09 3:08:29 AM Reply | Forward Mayawati is a woman of clay. Who, including a living politician, would stoop to erecting her own statues by the dozens? Saddam Hussein did that and look what happened to him!What Ms. Joshi said is the truth. Women who are sexually assaulted for no fault of theirs need to be adequately compensated, which is the point she was trying to make.
