  • Telangana: Congress leader bats for Dalit Bandhu-style scheme for Muslims

    Telangana: Congress leader bats for Dalit Bandhu-style scheme for Muslims

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) Secretary Mohammad Rashid Khan called on Minority Welfare Minister K Easwar and submitted a memorandum demanding introduction of a Muslim Bandhu scheme for minorities in Telangana on the lines of Dalit Bandhu.

    The memorandum states that KCR had made several promises to Muslims in the 2014 and 2018 assembly elections, including 12 per cent reservation. The Waqf Board was promised judicial powers, implementation of Urdu as the second official language, construction of a new building of Haj House, provision of special budget for minority welfare and sharing of double bedroom houses in terms of population, besides starting Metro train in the old city.

    In the last eight years, the promises made to Muslims have not been fulfilled. Rs 21,000 crore has been allocated for SC development while only Rs 2,200 crore has been allocated for minority welfare. Rs 3500 crore has been released for Dalit Bandhwa Scheme.

    The government has promised to introduce a Dalit bandhu style scheme for Scheduled Tribes. Then, as per the recommendations of the Sachar Committee, Muslims are more educationally, socially and economically backward than Dalits in the country, the memorandum said.

    Rashid Khan demanded the Minority Welfare Minister to introduce the Muslim Bandhu Scheme for the economic development of Muslims. The minority welfare minister assured to take up the issue with Chief Minister KCR.

    The government of Telangana is providing financial support to the Dalit community under the ‘Dalit Bandhu Scheme’ by giving financial aid of ₹10 lakh to Dalit families.The amount will be transferred to the beneficiary’s account to start any business-related activity.

    A petition was filed in the Telangana High Court alleging misuse of the scheme for political gain, as well as irregularities in beneficiary selections made by BRS MLAs.

    The court finally issued orders directing that a committee appointed by the state government to receive applications and select beneficiaries for Dalit Bandhu, rather than MLAs.

  • BJP vs BJP: Bommai to raise Maha insurance scheme decision with Amit Shah

    BJP vs BJP: Bommai to raise Maha insurance scheme decision with Amit Shah

    [ad_1]

    Bengaluru: Strongly condemning the Maharashtra government’s decision to implement its health insurance scheme in the 865 border villages in Karnataka that it is laying claim to, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday called it an “unpardonable offence”, and said he would raise the issue with Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

    In December last year, Union Home Minister stepped in to defuse border tensions between Maharashtra and Karnataka. He called a meeting between the two Chief Ministers, after which he said both of them had agreed not to make any claims and counter-claims on the border issue till the Supreme Court had decided on the matter.

    Speaking to reporters, Bommai today said Maharashtra had “violated” that agreement, and urged his counterpart Eknath Shinde to “behave responsibly”.

    The latest tension between the two states cropped up after the Shinde government recently announced that it would allocate an additional Rs 54 crore for its ‘Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Jan Arogya Yojana’, so that the benefits could be extended to the border villages in Karnataka that Maharashtra has been laying claim to.

    The Karnataka Chief Minister today urged the Maharashtra government to immediately withdraw its order on implementing the health insurance scheme in the villages on Karnataka’s side of the border, and said he would be raising the matter with Union Home Minister Shah.

    Warning against dredging up border issues, indicating that it could backfire against Maharashtra, Bommai said, “We too can announce such schemes or programmes.”

    “Several Gram Panchayats and Taluks (on Maharashtra’s side of the border) have made resolutions seeking to join Karnataka, as they are not getting justice in Maharashtra,” he added. “With such a situation, the Mahrashtra government should behave responsibly. I strongly condemn their Cabinet decision.”

    Opposition leaders D K Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah on Wednesday had also condemned the Maharashtra government’s move, and took the opportunity to call for Bommai’s resignation for “having miserably failed to protect the interests of Karnataka and Kannadigas.”

  • Karnataka to stop Maharashtra’s health insurance scheme in 865 border villages: Bommai

    Karnataka to stop Maharashtra’s health insurance scheme in 865 border villages: Bommai

    [ad_1]

    Belagav: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday said his government would take measures to stop the Maharashtra government from offering its health insurance scheme in 865 border villages that the neighbouring state is trying to lay claim to.

    He was responding to Congress’ criticism over his administration’s alleged inaction over Maharashtra’s Eknath Shinde government recently announcing an additional Rs 54 crore for implementing the ‘Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Jan Arogya Yojana’ in the border villages of Karnataka, which the neighbouring state is claiming for itself.

    Calling the Maharashtra’s government’s move an “insult” to Karnataka, state Congress President D K Shivakumar and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Siddaramaiah earlier today demanded Bommai’s resignation, accusing him of having “miserably failed” in protecting the interests of the state and Kannadigas.

    In response to a question from reporters about Congress’ demand for his resignation, Bommai said, “If Maharashtra releases (money) here, why should I resign? We too have released funds for places in Maharashtra like Pandharpur, Tuljapur, where people from Karnataka visit.”.

    Speaking to the reporters here, he said, “I will look into their fund release, we will take measures to stop it…. I need not learn from D K Shivakumar.” Earlier, warning the Maharashtra government, Shivakumar said not even an inch of Karnataka’s land would be ceded.

    “It is our land, our water, and we will protect it. We are ready to sacrifice our lives to protect our land,” he said, as he urged the Karnataka government to take immediate counter measures, stating that it was a mater of the state’s self esteem.

    Calling on pro-Kannada organisations, artists and literary figures to come together to express their opposition against Maharashtra’s move with one voice, Shivakumar also questioned Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s silence on the issue.

    Meanwhile, speaking to reporters in Hubballi, Siddaramaiah said Maharashtra’s move was a threat to India’s federal structure.

    Hitting out at Bommai for having failed to protect Karnataka’s interest, he said he had no right to continue as Chief Minister and should resign immediately.

    The decades old border row between the two states had intensified in December last year, with vehicles from either side being targeted, leaders from both the States weighing in, and pro-Kannada and Marathi activists being detained by police amid a tense atmosphere in Belagavi.

    Also, both states had passed resolutions against each other in their respective legislatures, putting forward their claim on the border villages.

    The border issue dates back to 1957 when States were reorganised on linguistic lines. Maharashtra laid claim to Belagavi, which was part of the erstwhile Bombay Presidency, as it has a sizeable Marathi-speaking population. It also laid claim to over 800 Marathi-speaking villages which are currently a part of Karnataka.

    Karnataka maintains that the demarcation done on linguistic lines as per the States Reorganisation Act and the 1967 Mahajan Commission Report is final. And, in an assertion about Belagavi being an integral part of the State, Karnataka built the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha there, modelled on the Vidhana Soudha, the seat of the State Legislature and Secretariat, in Bengaluru.

  • Shinde govt rattled as 1.8 mn govt employees strike for Old Pension Scheme

    Shinde govt rattled as 1.8 mn govt employees strike for Old Pension Scheme

    [ad_1]

    Mumbai: Around 1.8 million Maharashtra government employees in various departments, schools, colleges, hospitals and other sectors on Tuesday started an indefinite strike to press for a return of the Old Pension Scheme.

    Facing its biggest challenge, the 9-month old government of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis has warned of action against the striking employees while offering an olive branch to discuss and consider their demand after taking into account the financial implications.

    However, the striking unions are adamant and declared that they want an immediate announcement on OPS – which was discontinued in 2005.

    “We are collecting the figures, but a majority of the state government employees across departments have joined the strike and will continue till we succeed,” Government Employees Unions Steering Committee Convenor Vishwas Katkar told media persons.

    The OPS was replaced by a new pension scheme in which the pension amount was deducted from the employees’ salaries, unlike the previous version.

    Explaining the effect, Katkar said that in OPS, the employees use to get 50 per cent of the basic salary as pension, but in the new scheme, the amount is barely 25 per cent of the basic pay.

    As the Class I and II employees are not part of the strike, there is only a partial impact on the normal working of various departments.

    However, the strike has hit various government schools, colleges with teaching and non-teaching staff staying away, paramedics and nurses in hospitals, plus Class III and IV cadres remained off work.

    The working was also affected in government offices in urban and rural centres and districts as a majority of the civic employees are also joining the agitation for OPS.

    Nevertheless, in certain major cities like Mumbai, where the civic employees are keeping off the strike, the impact would be minimal, though they have expressed solidarity with their striking fraternity.

    Chief Secretary M.K. Srivastava on Monday directed all Divisional Commissioners and Collectors to take appropriate measures to avoid any inconvenience to the common people.

    Shinde said that the government will constitute an administrative committee of top officers to study the OPS demands and it would submit its report within a given time-frame, but the employees unions insist it should be accepted as a policy.

    The clamour for the OPS started ahead of the state budget session with a series of protests, processions, marches across the state to revert to the previous scheme.

    The move gained momentum after at least half a dozen states – Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Punjab – announced their plans to revert to the OPS last month.

    Rebutting the state government’s arguments that it would hit the state’s already stressed financial situation, Katkar and other leaders said that if it is not affecting the economy of other states, then how could it affect Maharashtra.

    He argued that since most employees shall retire only after another 10-12 years, the state government can systematically plan the OPS implementation without any adverse financial impact.

  • Opposition misguiding war widows on scheme for martyrs’ families: Ashok Gehlot

    Opposition misguiding war widows on scheme for martyrs’ families: Ashok Gehlot

    [ad_1]

    Jaipur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday defended the benefits reserved for the martyrs’ families under a state scheme saying that the BJP leaders are misguiding the people and maligning the image of Rajasthan.

    “The kind of package given by Rajasthan government to the war widows, be it of the Pulwama, Balakot, or Kargil, doesn’t exist anywhere in the country. I had brought the package when I was chief minister around 25 years back,” Gehlot told reporters after attending a programme.

    He said that under the package the martyrs’ families are allotted land and housing, schools are named after martyrs, and jobs are kept reserved for their children.

    The Chief Minister’s remarks came on the heels of a protest being waged by three war widows, who have been demanding a change in rules so that their relatives and not just children can get government jobs on compassionate grounds.

    “Why are they asking for jobs after four years? The incident happened in 2019 but there was no demand then and now suddenly after four years the issue is raised. They (BJP leaders) are misguiding the people and maligning the image of Rajasthan,” Gehlot on Sunday said.

    “If they (BJP leaders) continue to act in such a manner, then people will give them a befitting reply. We are giving a good package to martyrs’ families. How can they ask for jobs for someone else other than the children,” he said.

    The CM said that he had met the war widows on Saturday who said they want jobs to be reserved for their children.

  • Is BJP planning detailed study on old pension scheme?

    Is BJP planning detailed study on old pension scheme?

    [ad_1]

    Jaipur: If sources in political circles are to be believed, the saffron party is thinking of working on the old pension scheme (OPS) for the government employees.

    The BJP government in Karnataka has reportedly formed a committee to study the OPS. This committee will come to Rajasthan soon as the desert state has announced OPS for its state employees.

    It needs to be mentioned here that the Assembly elections are to be held in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh five-six months after the Karnataka polls which are scheduled somewhere in May, however the final date is to be announced.

    In such a situation, it seems that the BJP will soon clarify its stand on OPS in these states also. If this happens, then the old pension scheme will become a big issue in the Lok Sabha elections to be held after 13 months.

    Meanwhile, BJP state president Satish Poonia expressed his unawareness on any such development.

    Speaking to IANS, he said, “This is a policy matter and Delhi has to decide on it. We will follow the line which the party gives us. Veteran leaders are analysing the issue and finding a ‘vikalp (solution)’ that will be the party line later on. We will be able to give an official version once it is finalised.”

    Meanwhile, he said, “We spoke to Himachal Pradesh former Chief Minister and he denied OPS to be the key reason for why the party lost. There were many factors of the poll loss and one amongst was factionalism. The ex-Himachal CM told me.”

    Congress leaders have been promoting that OPS was the major reason why the saffron party lost in Himachal, however, Poonia mentioned many other reasons for the party’s defeat.

    Meanwhile, Poonia said that central leadership will decide on how to take this issue in future, he added.
