Green Park turns Blue!
Today Kanpur’s Green Park hosted 3rd ODI of ongoing India-Pakistan series but the Park was not the same as it has always been. The Green Park was found Blue today.
Not very difficult to understand the reasons with Bahujan Samaj Party being the ruling party and with a colour theme of Blue.
This I would say is very cheap ( as in cheap mentality) and is something that bothers citizens like me a lot. This is how the tax I pay is being spent!! What a pity!
They have rules prohibiting election campaigning in election days..what about these days? Aint it a simple case of Office of Profit? Why doesnt IT department asks about finances for this expense? If it is public money and is coming from share of Sports, is it really what it is meant for?
Anyways the bottomline is that I am reconsidering whether or not should I pay taxes!!
Here is a professional news item: (No point rewriting)
Kanpur Green Park stadium painted BSP blue
Kanpur’s Green Park stadium, the venue for the third India-Pakistan One-Day International, has been virtually given a blue hue – clearly resembling the official colour of Uttar Pradesh’s ruling Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
No wonder everyone seems to attribute it to the proposed visit of Chief Minister Mayawati, who is to give away the prizes at the end of the match Sunday.
The painting began shortly after Mayawati consented to being chief guest at the event.
What followed was incredible. Officials from the chief minister’s secretariat personally monitored the large-scale renovation by the state government to give the place a face-lift.
It started with refurbishing of the VVIP pavilion and the special enclosure for the chief minister but later large parts of the giant stadium were also painted entirely in blue.
The manner in which the colour has been used shows that care has been taken to ensure that right from her entry into the venue, Mayawati gets a total ‘blue view’.
All entry gates are draped or painted in blue and all chairs in different enclosures visible from the VVIP pavilion have also been painted the same colour.
Even road-dividers in the city have been painted blue.
No one is however willing to divulge as to how much money has been pumped into re-doing the stadium, which otherwise has often suffered gross neglect.
Unofficial reports estimated the expenditure to be around several million rupees.
The chief minister is scheduled to spend just about 30 minutes at the felicitation function.
Top aides of Mayawati have made at least 17 trips from Lucknow to Kanpur to personally supervise the face-lift of the VVIP pavilion.
Unprecedented security arrangements have been made in and around the venue, particularly between the police lines where Mayawati’s helicopter would land, and the Green Park stadium.
Time for another RDB
Seen RDB???
So don’t u think it is time for another RDB, now with some ministers working for the benefit of the students!!! (like the patriot minister in the movie)
Mr. Arjun Singh claims to be very concerned with the IIM aspirants and is making statements like “we are working for the good of students so they can wait” without realizing that the wait is just getting more and more and the kind of impact, the anxiety might be having on the aspiring candidates. Being amongst the victim students, i thought it would be appropriate to speak my heart out.
With the negotiations failing till now, i don’t understand how long does Mr. AS expects IIMs to hold on.
fellow aspirants here i take the opportunity to call for an RDB act….let the generation of these oldies awaken!!!!!
Insult of Parliament or Insult of Judiciary??? or Insult of Constitution!!!
We all know of the comments passed by our Hon’ble(or horrible wtever) HRD minister Mr. Arjun Singh, when IIMs fixed the date of 21st April for declaring results. Our hon’ble(..) minister said the declaration is not in good spirit and is a disrespect of the Parliament. He slammed IIMs for being so outspoken… sent a notice to Mr. Bakul Dholakia. and also sent a directive to IIMs to hold on the results till next directive from MHRD.
These, our chosen ones, claim that the IIM directors have made statements which shows disrespect to the parliament … hmmm…OK… Now lets take a look at what followed up in the drama….
23rd April… SC rejected Govt.’s appeal to reconsider the quota issue and ordered no extra quotas at least for this academic year. People(including aspirants like me) thought the road is all clear for IIMs to go ahead with the admission process, but hey!!! Mr. AS is not such a pessimist . The minister declared the decision means nothing to him and declared he will be approaching CJI regarding this issue. CJI issued the date of 8th may for next hearing. Mr. AS makes a media statement that he does not need to send any fresh directives to IIMs regarding the issue and they should wait till MHRD grants them the permission. Anyways IIM directors approached Mr.PM and pitched their case in front of him explaining that it is not possible for IIMs to wait indefinitely before they can start their admission process, also emphasising the impact this will have on the quality of students at IIMs. Thankfully, he gave an ear and called for a cabinet meeting to resolve the issue and unlock the deadlock. Not much to be happy about…we know how our elected ones are…. Anyways, the intellectual people met and one must have a look at what they thought and said… Mr. Sharad Pawar, the agriculture minister, straight away rejected the SCs verdict and said:“I told the PM not to pay attention to the judgement. It’s been given by a smaller bench. It is unconstitutional”, while Karunanidhi tried to raise his share of votes in TN by making a statement to the extent “The SC judgement shows that the future of 100 crore of people lies in the hands of just 2 or 3 men. This is an insult to democracy”.Moreover, they decided to delay the admission process further by a day to send a signal to Judiciary about the kind of unanimity in the cabinet(I dont understand how this sends the signal…anyways they claim that)

Unfortunately these people don’t think that this as a disrespect of the judiciary and the concept of judiciary and in effect of the whole basis of our constitution.. but what Mr. Dholakia did was sheer disrespect of Parliament and constitution.
What a tragedy!!!
