He was addressing a large gathering of party workers at R F Naik school campus in Koperkhairane. Targeting BJP and the Congress at the same time, he said that both the parties have adopted the American model where one leader is projected. “Congress has been projecting Rahul Gandhi and BJP Narendra Modi. This is not an ideal model for India,” he declared. He criticized the union government for not announcing a compensation package for the drought effected farmers in the state. He also said that the NDA government is trying to dilute the Food Security Law. He pointed out how the proposed amendment to the Land Acquisition Act is not in the interest of the farmers. Speaking on the oc- casion, former district Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik said that this time, the party will resort to a positive campaign. “We will not criticize any party but concentrate on telling people about the good works done by us,” he Cont. on pg. 4 Ryan International School, Nerul, celebrates womanhood Sir, he is a graduate who can’t get employment.

The Chairman’s vision leads his students to organize such fun sports events in the school to mark important day to encourage the women in their lives and to encourage the young generation (girls) to rise and shine in the field of sports. Beware of stray dogs! NMMC fails to control their population; sterilisation programme needs to be speeded up By a staff reporter VASHI: The rising number of stray dogs in the city has been a cause of concern. And the city’s civic body does not seem to be having any effective sterilization programme for them. Hordes of stray dogs rummaging a public dust bins for eatables is a common sight one witnesses. In the face of 14,000 cases of stray dog bites during the last one year, the municipal body is left with few alternatives other than putting up banners ‘Beware of biting stray dogs” in public squares. Makin g matters worse are groups of misguided activists who go under the banner of dog lovers; they keep feeding these dogs and prevent any effective action against them, The most important problem facing the civic authorities is the lack of a proper plot to set up a modern sterilization center. Presently, they are making do with one set up on an Ad hoc basis near the dumping ground in Turbhe. The sterilization proper is contracted to some NGO. It is said to be sterisizing 450 to 500 bitches every month. But that has proved to be insuf- ficient as seen from the growing number of strays. According to officials, NMMC needs a 2,000 sq meter plot for setting up the facility and it has forwarded its demand to CIDCO, which owns all the land in the city. CIDCO responded by allotting two plots in Sector-24 Sanpada, one meant for an animal hospital and the other for a dog sterilization center. But the municipal general body, in its wisdom, objected to the proposal and went on to cancel the reservation. Since then, CIDCO, it is learnt, has earmarked a large plot (21 acres) at Uran phata for the purpose. But there have not been effective moves from NMMC or CIDCO to transfer the plot to the civic body. As the two bodies continue their spat, the number of stray dogs has continued to grow. It is estimated by experts that the city needs a sterilization center with a capacity to castrate/sterilixr at least 700 dogs per month. One only hopes that the dispute will soon come to an end and the work of setting up a new sterilization center resumes fast.

Wards represented by opposition corporators get a step motherly treatment By Vijay Bhor CBD-BELAPUR: The ruling party, NCP is ruling the roost in NMMC because of the absolute majority it commands. “It is not only not passing projects in the Wards represented by opposition party corporators but has gone to the extent of cancelling some ongoing works,” complained BJP Corporator Vijaya Gharat on Saturday.

By Hema Gobindram Lobo Women’s Awareness day on March 8 is indeed a Day for celebrating the numerous qualities of a woman. Stronger than steel, softer than silk, toiling away as a laborer in fields, the kitchen or as the CEO in a corporate set up, a woman is now acknowledged, not necessarily a superior being but totally indispensable to her surroundings. Imagine a grand house with all the interiors done up, a beautiful well kept garden, a couple of cars waiting to take off, et al1 but the lady of the house is simply not in!

All this only goes to in fact erase the difference between men and women and prove that given the opportunity both men and women can excel in life and total success in fact is an outcome of the essential cooperation, coordination between men and women, indeed meant to complement each other! There cannot be a FAIR AND JUST celebration of either the fair sex or the (un)fair sex! So let a HUMAN and a humane approach help us restore the necessary balance in society where women are fed up of being understood as weak and fragile or even superwomen, who bear babies and wear the pants too! Men too need not be thought of as effeminate if they shed tears or be supermen of steel.

The 2014 electoral mandate was against dynasty rule. In the aftermath of its worst-ever electoral defeat, the Congress is refusing to come to terms with its precipitous situation, retreating into a defence of its “first family”, Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, rather than rigorously examining the causes of its ignominious defeat. The party still places full faith in the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul, both of whom offered to step down, only to take back their resignations in the face of party protests, which were expected. The Congress Working Committee spoke of a “thorough revamp of the organisation at all levels,” leaving out the two leaders from the scope of the exercise. The tragic truth is that the Congress has paid a huge price by indulging Rahul Gandhi at the cost of other potential leadership talent. If Sonia had selected any of the senior leaders in Congress other than her son Rahul to lead the party in election, they would have done well in election. The senior leaders in Congress, no matter how experienced, are totally neglected. As far as Congress is concerned, Dynasty is openly being placed before party. The demand for Priyanka shows laziness of Congress leaders, who want that the family should somehow get them power. Bharatiya Janata Party with its inherent strength of Cadre and Good pool of talented people and experienced honest leadership of Narendra Modi is not going to fritter away the advantage easily. The Minorities will also gravitate towards it after experiencing the benefits. The biggest challenge to Congress will be from AAP, which will occupy the opposition space and will correct itself. So the next major election will be between AAP and BJP. As long as Jawaharlal Nehru was the Prime Minister, it was Hindu dynasty. When Indira Gandhi became the Prime Minister, it was Parsee dynasty owing to the fact that Indira had married a Parsee. Rajeev Gandhi, the next PM, also was representing the Parsee dynasty. Sonia Gandhi who indirectly ruled India and so also Rahul Gandhi (If he had to become a PM) could be said to belong to Parsee dynasty and to a certain extent Catholic dynasty. If Priyanka Gandhi comes to power in the future, she will be as good as representing Catholic dynasty. One cannot comprehend why many Indians wanted this kind of dynasty which was at the cost of majority community viz. Hindus? Given the abject servility and sycophancy exhibited by one and all in the party, the Congress has lost all credibility with the common man who has at long last realized that the dynasty has no intention of giving up its stranglehold on power and pelf despite all the theatrics. It is high time that the family retires permanently from politics gracefully and let others have a chance. In the Western world, if the leader of the party cannot get through his party in the election with a clear mandate, he decides to quit the leadership post. Many great heads have rolled having failed to get the approval rating from the voting public in the election. Such custom has been in vogue - even for proven prime Ministers and Premiers! India can boast of its democracy only if the parties also hold ethics and moral values in owning defeat and quitting posts without waiting.
