Union elections in BS NL

-
5th membership verification for BSNL is to be held on 1st Feb.2011.  Nearly 15 unions are fighting the elections.  Some under the alliance of United forum some under BSNL Workers Alliance and some independently. Present recognised union BSNLEU is making all efforts to retain its hold despite its systematic failures.  NFTE which lost its hold six years back is trying to regain its hold. FNTO wants to prove its strength.  Both BSNLEU and NFTE are claiming victory. What I feel is the strong force of non executive technical employees who account for nearly 1,85,000 will hold the key.  If a large chunk votes for NFTE it will romp home.  I feel that NFTE has a slight edge as the recognised union has failed in all fronts and will soon toe the line of the administration if it is re elected. But BSNLEU with its committed voters can also be the winner.  A recognized union which has failed in all fronts should be shown the door. Let us see what 4th Feb.holds forth.

CAPITOL CARNAGE OF DEMOCRACY

-
  Right from Nov.3,2020 when the results of the Presidential election started trickling and when President Trump knew that he was on back foot, he started creating problems.   He refused to accept defeat and vowed that there would not be smooth transition of power. All the swing states voted against Trump. Though he had about 75 million popular votes he could not make it. On the other hand Joe Biden had more than 81 million popular votes and also 306 electoral college votes in his favour. Mr. Trump could not digest his defeat. He called the election a fraud. He questioned the postal ballot system. He later questioned   the integrity of the electoral process itself. He refused to accept the people’s verdict. He challenged the election in state after state. He had in fact filed 60 law suits challenging the verdicts in different states.   All the law suits were dismissed. When the Congress convened to formally declare Joe Biden as President on the 7 th Jan 2021 at Capitol Hill, he urged

Balaji Darshan

On 26th of May 2012 we family members numbering 12 went to Tirumala. The journey from Chennai to Tirupathi was good and we reached there within 4 hours by a private Tempo Traveller. From Tirupathi to Tirumala we went by Govt. bus. The entire journey was splendid. We thought we would finish Darshan of Balaji within 3 to 4 hours and return to Chennai by evening of 26th. But the Lord had other ideas. We stood in the queue for Rs.300 at 11.10 a.m. Slowly we meandered our way. We went from one shelter to another. No one knew where the queue ended. The shelters had been built in such a way that it takes you around the temple. While standing in the queue we helped ourselves with fruits, biscuits etc. Nobody had lunch except the morning breakfast. As time passed our hunger increased. We went on and on and on. Hours passed. one ,two, three, four ,five, six and so on. Our energy sapped. Hunger increased hunger turned to anger. Words were exchanged as my brother in law who is a diabetic and wh

MUMBAI: Market regulator Securities & Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Friday barred two Anil Ambani group companies, Reliance Infrastructure (R-Infra) and Reliance Natural Resources Ltd (RNRL), from investing in the secondary markets till December 2012 for alleged unfair market dealings. Ambani and four senior executives face a similar ban that ends this December. In addition, a penalty of Rs 50 crore was imposed on the companies, the executives and Ambani. The executives include Satish Seth, S C Gupta, J P Chalasani and Lalit Jalan, Sebi said in an order posted on its website. The regulator said the companies and the executives paid the penalty "without admitting or denying the charges". An R-Infra spokesperson said the Sebi order did not bar the companies from raising money from the market through equity or equity-linked instruments, but these companies could not invest in stocks of other companies. Also because RNRL has since been merged with R-Power, th
