Cut motion

The editorials in the latest issue of the RSS mouthpiece Organiser titled “Is there any hope if Congress is to win like this always” focuses on the “vulnerability” of the UPA government. “In an unedifying spectre of political chicanery the Congress was able to undercut the Opposition unity on cut motions by cutting deals across the board. This has exposed many things — the foremost being the vulnerability of UPA-II in Parliament after claiming that it got a convincing mandate in the May 2009 elections. This was the first real trial of strength for the Manmohan Singh government. And in every sense the Congress managers repeated the tricks and low political tactics that they displayed in the last phase of UPA-I at the time of voting on the nuclear deal after the Left Front withdrew support,” says the RSS organ. It goes on to add: “the manner in which the Congress has now perpetuated the sin of devaluing the CBI,Enforcement Directorate and the tax department for its political ends has permanently damaged the reputation of these important Central institutions,whose image of impartiality and independence is cardinal to the credibility of Indian democracy”.

The RSS organ talks about the “U-turn” taken by the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party. “He (Mulayam Singh Yadav) and his family members are also being haunted by the CBI in corruption and disproportionate assets cases. He too gets repeatedly humiliated. But he had to break the opposition ranks along with Lalu for fear of CBI action at Congress’ bidding… The most shameful of all is the U-turn of UP Chief Minister Mayawati in a blatant admission of self interest,supporting the Congress within a few hours of the CBI giving some temporary reprieve in the Taj corridor and disproportionate assets probes,” says the editorial in the RSS mouthpiece. In its editorial titled “Avsarvaadi rajniti ko dhikkar” (Down with opportunistic politics),the RSS organ in Hindi Panchajanya too charges that the “Congress misuses CBI for its political ends,during its rule”.

Price rise rally

In a write-up titled “The precious treasure of BJP”,V. Shanmuganathan,a BJP functionary,writes that with its recent anti-price rally in the capital,the new BJP president has brought focus onto the karyakarta. “This huge rally was really a challenge to our hard work. Parking arrangement for thousands of buses and other vehicles was the first important task… We distributed 30 lakh water pouches to the people in their places of stay,Ramlila Maidan and Parliament Street. (Former MP from Arunachal Pradesh) Tapir Gao was happy about the participation of 151 youths from his state. Many people came from Nagaland,Mizoram,Meghalaya,Manipur,Tripura and the North East. The biggest number of delegates,numbering 97,000,participated from the whole of Uttar Pradesh”.

The recent issues of BJP mouthpiece Kamal Sandesh,too,has written an editorial on the recent anti-price stir in the capital. The English version of Kamal Sandesh has an editorial titled “Massive rally against prices in Delhi shows Aam Aadmi is with BJP”,while the editorial in the Hindi edition of Kamal Sandesh,too,has a similar heading. “The ultimate outcome and result of the struggle on the road for the cause of the people has its own reward. It may come sooner or later,but it does come in the long run,” says the BJP mouthpiece in English.
