PCC may to submit report to AICC next week


On ink hurled on Union Minister V Narayanasamy

Raipur, October 21, 2010

The PCC is likely to submit its comprehensive report to the AICC on ink hurled on Union Minister of State for Culture& Planning and Chhattisgarh incharge V Narayanasamy by next week. The PCC president Dhanendra Sahu informed that the state unit had appointed some of party leaders to probe into the incident and hopes that significant details would be extracted within next couple of days. “We are also waiting for the probe report of the police that had already arrested four persons who were part of the group that had tried to blacken Narayanasamy’s face,” Sahu said.
When asked about the likeliness of any senior leader’s involvement in masterminding the incident, Sahu said any comment would be premature unless the inquiry gets over.
However, he said, the incident could have been prevented if the state government would have provided proper security to Narayanasamy. “The itinerary of any Union minister reaches to the state government prior to his state visit and in case of Narayanasamy too the government was informed beforehand, still no security was provided to him,” said Sahu.
He informed that soon the PCC leaders would meet Governor pertaining to the ink hurling incident and would demand that the state government should stop posing biased attitude and must provide necessary security to the Union ministers during their state visits.


Senior Cong leaders made me a scapegoat: Farishta

Raipur, October 21, 2010

The terminated Congress leader Pappu Farishta on his alleged involvement in attempt to blacken Union Minister and party’s state incharge V Narayanasamy has informed that he had been made a scapegoat by the senior leaders. “When I have no grudge against Narayanasamy the why would I send anybody to blacken his face,” he said denying any link with group of 25-30 persons who threw ink on the Union Minister. Alleging that PCC working president Satyanarayan Sharma had conspired against him, Farishta said he would first clarify his stand before the AICC president Sonia Gandhi and general secretary Rahul Gandhi and then talk to media back in state capital. He further said that he had full faith on the police and soon the name of real mastermind behind the incident would be exposed.
Pappu had earlier distributed pamphlets against Narayanasamy during Lok Sabha elections in Pondicherry constituency, then he was suspended for 6 years on Narayanasamy’s orders. Later, in February 2010, his suspension was lifted when Arvind Netam and Mohammad Akbar mounted pressure on PCC. But this time, he has been terminated from the party.

PWD Min flags off city bus, Mayor not invited

Raipur, October 21, 2010

The rope pulling game between the BJP-led state government and the RMC Mayor Kiranmayi Nayak surfaced again on Thursday when PWD Minister Brijmohan Agrawal flagged off a city bus from Railway station to Shadani Darbar in the absence of any representative from the municipal corporation and Raipur City Bus Limited (RCBL). On the occasion, Shadani Darbar’s sant Yudhishdhir maharaj and office-bearers of Sindhi society were present.
Miffed by the attitude of the state government, the zone 2 president Neetu Ghanshyam Tiwari who too was not invited said, “The Mayor is ex-officio chairperson of the RCBL and she should have been given prior intimation about this programme.” Interestingly, it is the old city bus that has been flagged off by the minister.
“The bus was already being operated in the same route from Railway station to Mana and only its terminal point has been extended up to Shadani Darbar for some 5-6 days on request made by the Sindhi society to the Mayor,” Tiwari added.
The office-bearers of Sindhi society met the Mayor some five days back and requested her to extend the bus route for convenience of devotees who would frequently visit Shadani Darbar where about a week-long festival programmes would commence from Friday. The Mayor gave her formal approval and then informed about it to municipal Commissioner Om Prakash Choudhary.
