After election both the ruling and opposition party should work for country, State and peoples welfare. Resulting is being democracy prosperous and country will march ahead. Coopertion of both the party is necessary in democracy to fly high. The citizens are priceless treasure and to safe guard them is the duty of the legislature.

Deep strong roots always strenghting the trees.

The flow of Dharma is not automatic, it has to spread effortfully. Accumulation of funds should only be for the public distribution. Indian distribution system should be reformed.

Education and medical facilities should be inproved further. Both are must stay away from commercialisation. Save student from being physically and mentally ill.

History is being ignored. Identify your pride and revitalize history again. Arcuse selfesteem in our minds.

Not only west, India is also enriched with the knowledge of science. Old India is enriched with the knowledge of all kind.

Education system should be based on mother tongue. English is not bad, can be read as language but teaching and speech is best in our mother tongue. Exellency is proved only in mother tongue.

The progress in last 70 years in not enough yet while it was possible. Madhya Pradesh is the centre point of the country. It can prove the refining point of the country. Both ruling and opposition party have to work together for development and prosperity.

No other country is as prosper as India in a democratic way.

Congress Leader Rawat Claims BJP Leader's Name Missing From Govt Reply


BHOPAL: Senior Congress MLA Ram Niwas Rawat on Wednesday claimed that the name of a BJP leader accused in a Vyapam Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB) irregularities case disappeared from the government's answer in the state assembly. On July 1, the Gwalior police registered case against eight accused in a Vyapam related case after receiving a complaint from a 24-year-old student Ashish Chaturvedi. Of the accused (which also included Vyapam examination controller Pankaj Trivedi) figured the name of Gulab Singh Kirar who is presently the chairman of the state Backward Classes Commission and enjoys a minister of state rank.
Gulab Singh Kirar's son Dr Shakti Pratap Singh Kirar is also one of the accused in the case registered in Jhansi police station in Gwalior under sections 419 (cheating by personation), 320 (grievous hurt), 467 (forgery of valuable security), 468 (forgery for purposes of cheating), 471 (using as genuine a forged document), 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC.
Speaking to TOI, Ram Niwas Rawat said that he raised a query regarding this particular case for the assembly Question Hour which was scheduled for Monday. "All the accused in the case are influential persons but Gulab Singh would be the most powerful being politically connected to the top brass of the state BJP. He is also close to chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and belong to the same community," Ram Niwas Rawat said. "In the reply provided by the state home department, Gulab Singh Kirar's name disappeared from the list of accused."
Ram Niwas Rawat has written about the discrepancy to home minister Babulal Gaur with copies to state DGP and the STF authorities who are probing Vyapam scam. According to the complaint by Ashish Chaturvedi based on which the case was registered, it was alleged that Dr Shakti Pratap Singh Kirar son of Gulab Singh Kirar secured the first rank in pre-PG examinations in 2011 through fraudulent means. He is presently pursuing an MD degree in radio diagnosis. The complaint argued that Shakti Pratap Singh actually studied for a BDS degree to become a dentist from a medical college outside the state. He later pursued an MBBS degree in a private medical college. But because of his father's influence over Vyapam officials, he managed to top the pre-PG in 2011. The FIR was lodged based on this complaint.



BHOPAL: The Congress Opposition staged a walk-out in the state assembly on Tuesday after they were dissatisfied with minister for energy Rajendra Shukla's answer to a query on the shortage of power transformers in Rajgarh district. The query came from BJP MLA from Susner seat Murlidhar Patidar during the Question Hour. Patidar asked about the distribution of power to the agricultural sector, the billing procedure by the state electricity board and fluctuation in voltage of electricity.
The minister was asked if the energy department will ensure the regular supply of power to farmers with right voltage. Even as Rajendra Shukla was answering, the question arose about damaged transformers not being replaced in Rajgarh. The minister said that complaints were received about 89 impaired transformers out of which 63 have been replaced. Only in the remaining 26 cases have the department taken more than stipulated time period to change the transformer.
At this point, Congress MLA from Gurh seat Sundarlal Tiwari alleged that working transformers were being removed by the MPEB. "Tell us the logic behind removing the working and in good condition transformers. That too has been reported from all across the state," Tiwari argued. As Rajendra Shukla defended his department, the Congress staged a walk-out.
The energy minister again came under attack when BJP MLA Usha Choudhary raised a question reminding Rajendra Shukla that she had requested for 20 transformer replacements in her constituency and was assured it would be done. But months after that assurance, the transformers were not changed. The minister for energy said that action on that count would be taken by evening.
Tuesday's session started with a mild protest by BSP MLAs who walked into the House wearing purple aprons and shouting slogans. They demanded that fertilisers and urea be distributed to farmers urgently before the next crop. Minister for legislative affairs Narottam Mishra told the speaker that the House was going to discuss the fertilizer issue during the day.


MLA assault: House rejects motion


BHOPAL:The Madhya Pradesh Assembly today rejected a discussion on the admissibility of an adjournment motion over the alleged beating up of Congress legislator from Bahoriband Assembly constituency Saurabh Singh during just-concluded civic bodies elections in Katni.
After hearing discussion, which was interrupted several times after allegations and counter allegations from Opposition and Treasury Bench, Speaker Sitasharan Sharma rejected the motion. Earlier, the House witnessed a noisy scene when Congress member Mr Singh -- who is injured in the incident and fractured his hand -- took part in the discussion and vowed in the name of his sons that neither he opened fire nor he brought a revolver as alleged by the BJP.
He also claimed that he did not beat up BJP leader Manish Pathak on December 2. But, when he called BJP MLA from Katni Sanjay Pathak a liar by citing that he knew Mr Pathak from his childhood and he used to skip school by falsely saying that his grand mother died. After Mr Singh's remark, the Legislative Affair Minister Narottam Mishra objected strongly and said such personal comments would set a wrong precedent and the member should tender apology. A unruly scene was followed as members from both benches hurled remarks against each other.
Amid din, senior Congress member and former leader of the Opposition Ajay Singh said that Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was present in the House and he was apologising on behalf of Mr Saurabh, who is a first timer in the House, for such remarks. But the Treasury Bench demanded apology from Mr Saurabh himself. As the pandemonium continued, the Speaker adjourned the House for 10 minutes. When the proceedings resumed, the BJP members again demanded apology from Mr Singh.
The Speaker asked Mr Singh whether he would tender apology but he refused to do so. After which, the Speaker rejected the motion and moved other proceedings. However, when Mr Mishra pointed out that the member did not tender apology for his remark, the Speaker said nobody could be forced for apology

14th Vidhan Sabha starts on 8th January 2014 : Newly elected MLA's along with CM take oath

The first batch of 193 out of 230 MLAs was sworn in by Pro-tem Speaker K. D. Deshmukh in the Madhya Pradesh Vidhan Sabha on Wednesday. Among them, Babulal Gaur and Kailash Vijaywargiya — both from the castes that were historically denied Sanskrit education — took their oath in the classical language.
First-time MLA Divyaraj Singh of the BJP took his oath in English. Mr. Singh is the scion of the Rewa royal family.
After a hectic round of politicking in New Delhi, the Congress finally submitted names of nominees for the posts of Deputy Speaker and Leader of Opposition. Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Kantilal Bhuria met Principal Secretary (Vidhan Sabha) Rajkumar Pande and proposed the names of Satyadev Katare for Opposition Leader and Rajendra Singh for Deputy Speaker.

On Sunday, All-India Congress Committee (AICC) observers met party MLAs individually to know their choice for the Leader of Opposition. In the lead was former Leader of Opposition Ajay Singh followed by Mahendra Kalukheda — a loyalist of the Scindia royal family. To end the power struggle, the Congress leadership appointed Katare, a Scindia loyalist, and Rajendra Singh, a relative of former CM Digvijaya Singh.
The MPCC has also announced that Bala Bachchan, a supporter of Union Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath, will be the Deputy Leader of the Congress Legislature Party. Mr. Bachchan however said that he would prefer not to accept the post. “I am currently an AICC secretary and I am not sure if holding two posts violates the party’s directives. I can continue raising people’s issues as an ordinary MLA while remaining AICC secretary,”

A Congress source said that Mr. Bachchan, a senior tribal leader, was not interested in the post as it has no constitutional status. Ajay Singh, who found himself marginalised organisationally and politically after the announcements, said he wasn’t in the race for the post of MPCC president. Mr. Bhuria had offered to resign after the poll debacle.
“I am not in the race for any post. I will fulfil whatever duty the party gives me,” he said.
Sources close to Mr. Singh said that his rising stature had created considerable nervousness within the AICC in Delhi. “Only his candidates did well and he single-handedly took on the government on corruption. He is now known as Ajay Singh and not just as the son of (former CM) Arjun Singh. This seems to be a decision to prevent him from becoming too powerful,” a former minister said.
