एमपी इलेक्शन: सर्वे की कोख से निकली लिस्ट

Image
  Kamal Nath is going out of way to prove he is not anti-Hindu MP Assembly Election Update: 14 October 2023 NK SINGH कमलनाथ के प्लान के मुताबिक काँग्रेस की लिस्ट इस दफा सर्वे-नाथ ने बनाई है। प्रदेश के नेताओं में आम तौर पर सहमति थी कि लिस्ट इस बार सर्वे के आधार पर बनेगी। पर क्या यह महज संयोग है कि यह लिस्ट राहुल गांधी के गेम-प्लान के मुताबिक भी है? वे अपनी पार्टी के क्षत्रपों के कार्टेल को ध्वस्त करना चाहते हैं, जो 10-15 एमएलए के बूते पर प्रदेश की पॉलिटिक्स चलाते हैं। सर्वे की कोख से निकली लिस्ट कमोबेश जीत की संभावना के आधार पर बनी है। एनपी प्रजापति जैसे अपवादों को छोड़कर कोई सप्राइज़ नहीं। बीजेपी की लिस्ट देखते हुए, काँग्रेस इस बार फूँक-फूक कर कदम रख रही थी। भाजपा उम्मीदवारों की पांचों लिस्ट 2018 के मुकाबले काफी बेहतर थी। नाम दिल्ली ने तय किए, प्रदेश के किसी भी नेता के प्रभाव से परे। चयन का आधार गुटबाजी नहीं, जीत की संभावना रही। इसलिए, दोनों तरफ के उम्मीदवारों का लाइन-अप देखकर लगता है, मुकाबला कांटे है। टिकट न मिलने से निराश नेताओं की बगावत का दौर शुरू हो गया है। यह हर चुनाव में होता...

Massacre in Bihar Prison

NK SINGH Thank God, after a brief but hellish stage of political instability, Bihar is once again ruled by a stable government, with a Chief Minister who claims to be firmly in the saddle of affairs.  Many would find in him the shadow of Mr K. B. Sahay, the erstwhile 'strongman' of Bihar politics who would not budge an inch from his stand. However stupid it may be. Mr Kedar Pandey, who being wisely "assisted, helped and aided" by a New Delhi controlled "liaison committee" called by cynics the 'super cabinet'-made it clear to one and all that he is not one of those Chief Ministers who could be cowed down by the opposition's hue and cry. After all, he not only heads a government that rules over 60 million people but is also Mrs Gandhi's choice in Bihar.  Or more likely, Mr Pandey, in his eagerness to become another Churchill and Nehru, merely followed the advice extended by Mark Twain: "In statesmanship get the formalities right, never min...

CRP on maim and kill spree in Bhagalpur jail

Image
courtesy: Koastler Arts NK SINGH   Patna : The wanton police firing in Bhagalpur Special Jail, on May 8 last in which ten prisoners were killed and as many as 160 others injured, is a reminder of the fact that something is wrong with the jail administration in Bihar.   As a rule, the Bhagalpur Special Jail lodges only hardened criminals, mostly murderers and dacoits and undertrial prisoners facing charges of equally heinous crimes, besides Naxalites.  About 323 homoeopathic students, arrested last month in connection with their agitation for better educational facilities, were, however, sent to the same jail, as the other jails were jam-packed at the time. On May 4, the inmates launched an agitation in support of their various demands, including steps to check various malpractices, such as irregularity in the distribution of rations. According to official sources, the situation became explosive on May 5 when the agitators virtually took control of the jail administration....
