Hyderabad: Sharmila attempts to lay siege to TSPSC office; detained

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP) chief YS Sharmila attempted to besiege the TSPSC office to protest against the TSPSC paper leak case. However, she was detained by the police, on her way before she reached the TSPSC office.
Sharmila alongside YSRTP activists staged a protest on the road in front of the office gate.
Following a ruckus, the police arrested Sharmila to avoid any possibility of tension due to the agitation.
Women police personnel bodily lifted Sharmila and shifted her to a waiting police vehicle. Other protesters were also detained by the police. She was later taken to a police station.
Earlier, the YSRTP leader alleged that only small fish were arrested in the paper leak case while the powerful ones were roaming freely. She demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Sharmila slammed the state government for not allowing her to stage a protest in a peaceful and democratic manner. She said whenever she is trying to protest, police are placing her under house arrest.
She alleged that hundreds of policemen were deployed around her house. “They have also issued a lookout notice for me. Am I a criminal,” she asked.
While protesting, Sharmila asked if arrests and filing cases would solve the fair demands of the students. Tensions prevailed after the YSR leader entered into arguments with the police.

The TSPSC conducted examinations on March 5 for 833 vacancies of Assistant Engineer, Municipal Assistant Engineer, Technical Officer, and Junior Technical Officer in various engineering departments.
A total of 55,000 candidates attempted the written exam.
However, the Commission suspected leakage of the question paper and complained to the police.
On March 13, the police arrested nine people, including two employees of the TSPSC.
Following the arrest of the accused, the Commission cancelled the exam and also postponed other exams scheduled to be held later this month.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner C.V. Anand handed over the investigation to SIT.

Delhi BJP to protest at Jantar Mantar on March 21, lay siege to Assembly on March 23

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The BJP has decided to intensify its agitation to put pressure on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, whom it alleged was the mastermind of the liquor scam, to resign.
The BJP believes that Kejriwal should resign on the basis of morality, and if he does not do so, the BJP will force him to resign.
Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, and Delhi BJP General Secretary Kuljeet Chahal disclosed the party’s strategy at a press conference here.
They said that the ED has been told by Delhi government officials that Kejriwal had directed them to implement the liquor policy, following which the latter has no right to continue as the Chief Minister.
For the last 15 days, the BJP is protesting in Delhi demanding the Chief Minister’s resignation.
Now after new revelations have come to the fore, BJP has decided to intensify the protest from March 16.
From March 16, the BJP will go door-to-door and distribute leaflets, in which full details of the irregularities, corruption and loot of Delhi’s government treasury used to implement the excise policy will be given to the people.
In support of this demand, the BJP will protest in the state Assembly during the upcoming session and all the ministers of Delhi will be ‘gheraoed’.

Bidhuri said that the arrest of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia is not enough to expose the excise policy scam, but Kejriwal is the real mastermind of the scam.
BJP leaders said that Kejriwal calls for honesty in politics but he has done maximum corruption in politics. Therefore, his resignation is the only solution and BJP will continue the protest till Kejriwal does not resign.

Agitating K’taka Anganwadi workers threaten to lay siege to CM’s residence

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: The State Anganwadi Employees Association has given a 48 hours deadline to the ruling BJP government in Karnataka for fulfilling the demands of Anganwadi workers, failing which it has threatened to lay siege to the residence of the Chief Minister in Bengaluru.
Thousands of Anganwadi (government preschool) workers are staging a protest demanding gratuity and implementation of the Supreme Court guidelines. The protest is being staged in Bengaluru and completed eight days on Tuesday.
S. Varalakshmi, Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) President warned that “if Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai does not give orders fulfilling their (Anganwadi workers’) demands, thousands of Anganwadi workers, who are staging protests would lay siege to the residence of Chief Minister Bommai”.
“The functioning of Anganwadi centers should be changed and elevated in order to ensure that every child in the state gets food and education. Gratuity should be given to Anganwadi workers. It has been eight days since the protest began. Minister for Women and Child Welfare Halappa Achar has not bothered to look into the issue. This ignorance is condemnable,” she asserted.
The notice in this regard has been given to Minister Halappa on January 3. The meetings have been conducted at the level of directors twice, and the protests have been staged at the Freedom Park and district centers last year. “However, Minister Halappa and officers are not ready to come for talks,” Varalakshmi stated.
Chetan Ahimsa, Kannada actor and activist said that for eight days, Anganwadi workers have been protesting for structural changes including the demand to be classified as ‘teachers’. Anganwadi women serve society’s neediest like kids and pregnant women. “I express my solidarity with them,” he said.
