INCREASE TRADE WITH NEIGHBOURS

Develop trade corridor BCIM - Bangladesh, China, India and MyanmarWe will continue to pursue an independent, pro-India foreign policy.

The Indian National Congress has always upheld Indias supreme national interests and has often braved

criticism and opposition both at home and abroad in defending the countrys interests.

At the same time, the Indian National Congress has always believed that it is Indias historic destiny to be engaged

and connected with the rest of the world and, in particular, with the countries of Asia.

The foreign policy followed in the past five years has yielded handsome results: the foremost example isthe agreements on civil nuclear cooperation signed with the USA, Russia, France and Kazakhstan.

Indias well-thought out foreign policy and its patient but forceful diplomacy has obliged Pakistan to

admit that its citizens were responsible for carrying out the dastardly attacks in Mumbai in November

2008. The Indian National Congress has striven for an enduring peace and for close economic relations

with Pakistan. The Indian National Congress has also encouraged extensive people-to-people contacts

between the two countries, particularly amongst the younger generation. But the Mumbai attacks have

cast a long shadow on the on-going dialogue and engagement process. It is now entirely upto Pakistan to

break the impasse by taking credible action against those responsible for the carnage in Mumbai. If it does

so and dismantles the terrorist networks that operate from its soil, a Congress-led government will not be foundwanting in its response.

INCREASE TRADE WITH NEIGHBOURS

Develop trade corridor BCIM - Bangladesh, China, India and Myanmar

The long-held policy of the Indian National Congress is that the Government of Sri Lanka should find

an honourable solution to the strife in that country and ensure that all communities, especially the

Tamil-speaking people, are guaranteed and enjoy equal rights within the framework of a united Sri

Lanka. The Indian National Congress offers to help the parties reach an agreement as envisaged in the

India-Sri Lanka Peace Accord of 1987 which remains the only basis for a politically negotiatedsettlement.

The Indian National Congress welcomes the return of multi-party democracy to Bangladesh and Nepal.

It will work with both countries to deepen bilateral ties across a wide spectrum of areas for

demonstrable mutual benefit. The Indian National Congress also believes that the two countries must

take note of Indias security concerns in a more meaningful manner.

The Indian National Congress has always championed the legitimate and peaceful aspirations of the

long-suffering Palestinian people and urges that a viable Palestinian state be established at theearliest.

Indias relationships with countries like the USA, Russia, China and Japan and with countries of

Europe have been transformed by sustained diplomatic efforts since 2004. These relationships will be

further deepened. India has begun a whole new process of engagement with the countries of Africa

where there is great appreciation of what India has to offer to them. This engagement will be

expanded.

THIRD FRONT : A RECIPE FOR CHAOS There is also the so-called Third Front, a grouping of opportunistic parties. These parties have neither

consistency nor clarity. They have neither competence nor commitment. This Front, grounded in the politics of

convenience, is nothing but a platform for personal ambitions. It speaks of alternative polices without spellingout what these alternatives are.

Parties of the Third Front do one thing when they are in power and quite another when they are rejected by the

people.

Left Parties, who are prime movers behind the so-called Third Front, supported the Congress-led UPA

government for over four years. They attempted to exercise authority without taking on any responsibility.

At every step, they violated the discipline, restraint and sobriety so very essential for running a coalition smoothly.

At every step, the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, briefed them on all important issues.

The Left Parties withdrew their support on the issue of the civilian nuclear agreement even though it had been

negotiated and concluded on our own terms. They adamantly refused to listen to reasoned arguments that

convincingly demonstrated that the agreement was in Indias supreme national interest.

The Left Parties and their present partners pride themselves on being secular. On the contrary, it may be recalled

that they had actively aligned with the BJP in the past.

They are, in fact, responsible for the electoral growth of the BJP.

As past experience has shown, the Third Front is a recipe for political instability. Lacking a natural

national anchor, it is a recipe for chaos, not cohesion.

BJP SUED BY ITS VOTERS A day before the May 5 assembly elections, the BJP faced a piquant situation when a city court issued notices to

the party and its senior members in connection with a suit for damages filed by some voters.

Civil court judge Shiva Shankar Annanawar has issued notices to the BJP, its president Rajnath Singh, its formerstate president DV Sadananda Gowda, former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa and chief minister Jagadish

Shettarfor defrauding the voters. A class action suit has been filed by 13 voters who claim to have voted for the

BJP in 2008.

They have listed 45 specific promises and 297 other promises made by the BJP and its leaders during 2008. The

suit was filed on Friday and the arguments were continued by counsel KV Dhananjay on Saturday. This is a rare

instance of a class action suit where the damages are not specific to those who have filed the case but to

everyone who has participated in the 2008 elections and voted for the BJP. Any voter who has voted for the BJPcan join the case and seek his share in the damages payable by the BJP.

The petition says, inter alia: The plaintiffs did not have any means of discovering if the promises made by the

BJP in its promise sheet were in any manner dishonest The plaintiffs were compelled to vote for the candidates

set up by the BJP solely owing to a belief that the promises made by it in its promise sheet were binding upon the

party should it be elected to power, and that the party did not harbour any dishonest intention in the making of

such promises. Interestingly, the petition says the BJP failed to mention any disclaimer in its manifesto.

The petition gives two examples of unfulfilled promises --- doubling of power production from 5,000 MW to 10,000

MW and providing a cyber caf in every village.

The petition further says, inter alia: The BJP, in its capacity as a national political party, was expected to be fully

aware of the common law of torts, of the doctrine of fraudulent misrepresentation, of the statutory and common

law of contract, and above all that there is no statute or legislation in India shielding election promises from being

made actionable through the medium of our courts.

GODHRA RIOTS The 2002 Gujarat violence was a series of incidents starting with the Godhra train burning and the

subsequent communal violence between Hindus and Muslims in the Indian state ofGujarat. On 27 February 2002,

the Sabarmati Express train was attacked at Godhra by a Muslim mob. 58 Hindu pilgrims returning fromAyodhya were

killed in the attack. This in turn prompted retaliatory attacks against Muslims and general communal riots on a large scale

across the state, in which 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus were ultimately killed and 223 more people were reported

missing. 536 places of worship were damaged: 273 dargahs, 241 mosques, 19 temples, and 3 churches. Muslim-owned

businesses suffered the bulk of the damage. 61,000 Muslims and 10,000 Hindus fled their homes. Preventive arrests of

17,947 Hindus and 3,616 Muslims were made. In total 27,901 Hindus and 7,651 Muslims were arrested.

The nature of these events remains politically controversial in India. Some commentators have characterised the deaths

of Hindus and Muslims as a genocide in which the state was complicit, while others have countered that the hundreds of

Muslim and Hindu dead were all victims ofriots or "violent disturbances". The Country Reports on Human Rights

Practices for 2012 prepared by the State Department and mandated by the US Congress, noted the failure of the

government to protect its people in the 2002 riots and Human rights groups' continuous allegations that investigative

bodies showed bias in favour ofNarendra Modi, the then Chief Minister of Gujarat.

According to an official estimate, 1044 people were killed in the violence 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus including

those killed in the Godhra train fire. Another 223 people were reported missing, 2,548 injured, 919 women widowed

and 606 children orphaned.

Unofficial estimates put the death toll closer to 2500. When missing people were declared dead after 7 years,

total deaths went up from 1044 to 1,267.

In April 2002, retired Supreme Court Justices V. R. Krishna Iyerand P. B. Sawant headed a citizen's panel to investigate

the riots.[Their report includes testimony of the then Gujarat BJP ministerHaren Pandya (since murdered), who testified

about an evening meeting convened by Narendra Modi the evening of the Godhra train burning. At this meeting, officials

were instructed not to obstruct the Hindu rage following the incident.[59] The report also highlighted a second meeting,

held in Lunawada village ofPanchmahal district, attended by state ministers Ashok Bhatt, and Prabhatsinh Chauhan, and

other BJP and RSS leaders, where "detailed plans were made on the use of kerosene and petrol for arson and other

methods of killing."19

MAYAWATITHE SO CALLED DALIT

LEADER

Mayawati- The so called Dalit Leader. She is most famous for her antiques. She has fuelled her

own desires in the name of Welfare for the Dalits. This can be proved by looking at the long list of

controversies she is currently embroiled in:

Taj corridor case

In 2002 the government of Uttar Pradesh began improvements of the infrastructure in the Taj Heritage Corridor,

the important tourist area inAgra that includes the Taj Mahal. The project was soon riddled with problems,

including funds being released for the project without the submission of the required detailed project reports to theenvironmental authorities.Suspecting there were financial irregularities as well, the Central Bureau of

Investigation (CBI) raided twelve residences, including Mayawati's. It had filed an First Information Report against

her and seven others two days earlier. The raid uncovered evidence of assets disproportionate to her known

income.

In June 2007 GovernorT. V. Rajeswarsaid that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute her. In his 23-page

order, he said: "the fact that the Mission Management Board, consisting of officers of both the State and the

Central Government, regularly met and discussed the project and the fact that even a sum of 17 crores was

spent through the Central Government public sector undertaking, NPCC, all go to show that the serious offences

with which Mayawati and the Minister were charged do not stand scrutiny. Advocates unsuccessfully challenged

the Governor's decision in court.

MAYAWATITHE SO CALLED DALIT

LEADER Disproportionate assets case

Mayawati's assets run into millions of dollars, with several properties to her name. In the 200708

assessment year, Mayawati paid an income tax of 26 crore, ranking among the top 20 taxpayersin the country. Earlier the CBI filed a case against her for owning assets disproportionate to her

known sources of income. Mayawati described the CBI investigation against her as illegal. Her

party asserted that her income comes from gifts and small contributions made by party workers

and supporters.

On 3 August 2011 the Delhi High court dismissed the central government's appeal against

Mayawati, stating that "she has fully discharged her obligations by disclosing the identities of all ofher donors, the gifts had been donated by her supporters".The central government decided not to

file an appeal in the Supreme Court.On 13 March 2012 Mayawati revealed assets worth 111.26

crore in an affidavit filed with her nomination papers for the Rajya Sabha. The disproportionate

assets case was finally quashed on 6 July 2012nine years laterby a Supreme Court bench of

Justice P.Sathasivam and Dipak Misra; the court found that the case was unwarranted.Based on

an opinion received from the Directorate of Prosecution, the CBI decided not to file an appeal. On 4

October 2012 a review petition was filed by Kamlesh Verma, contending that the case had been

dismissed merely on technical grounds, and that the evidence had not been adequately reviewed.

The Supreme Court will be reviewing the verdict in open court.

MAYAWATITHE SO CALLED DALIT

LEADER Statues

In her tenures as a Chief Minister, Mayawati erected number of statues of Buddhist, Hindu, and

Dalit icons like Gautam Buddha, Ravidas, Narayana Guru, Jyotirao Phule, ShahujiMaharaj, Periyar Ramasami, Ambedkar, BSP founder Kanshi Ram, and of herself.She claims that

the expenditure on statues and symbols of Dalit icons was required because the past governments

did not show respect towards Dalit leaders, in whose memory nothing had ever been built.She

spent over 2,500 crore on projects in five parks and at memorials such as Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

Samajik Parivartan Sthal and Manyavar Kanshiram Smarak Sthal, built in the name of B.R.

Ambedkar, Ramabai Ambedkar, and Kanshi Ram in Lucknow between 2007 and 2009.

The Comptroller and Auditor General of India reported that 15 crore was spent on memorials.TheSupreme Court of India admitted a Public Interest Litigation questioning this expenditure. In

February 2010 Mayawati's government approved a plan for a special police force to protect the

statues, as she feared that her political opponents might demolish them.On 26 July 2012 the

statue in Lucknow was damaged by members of an unknown group calling themselves "Uttar

Pradesh Naunirman Sena".

In October 2011 Mayawati inaugurated the Rashtriya Dalit Prerna Sthal and Green Garden, built

at a cost of 685 crore.Since the memorial also features her own statues, Mayawati was accused

by the Indian National Congress of wasting the taxpayers' money.The BSP dismissed the

allegations. Mayawati accused the Congress of being "anti-Dalit".

World Bank criticism

The World Bank loaned India funds for development, and Mayawati was to manage projects withthis money in UP. The projects were preplanned and on schedule, but the Mayawati government

made changes which put the projects behind schedule, including rapidly transferring high-caste

managers in and out of rural posts.The World Bank sent a letter of complaint on 1 August 2002 to

India's central government stating, "We have now learnt that project managers have been replaced

within three weeks of assuming office. The project coordinator of the Diversified Agriculture

Support Project has been changed twice in quick succession and at the moment there is no project

coordinator. In the forestry project, numerous changes have been made over the past six months

... Such developments do not augur well for these time-bound projects that require consistently

good leadership." Mayawati initially responded by saying the letter was a fake and later said there

had been a misunderstanding. She then decreased the number of transfers, stopped creating new

posts, and temporarily reduced the level of government spending on furniture and vehicles in

response to the allegations. The World Bank continued to criticise the level of corruption even after

these measures had been implemented.

WikiLeaks allegations

Diplomatic cables published in 2011 through WikiLeaks detailing the opinions of American civil

servants asserted that Mayawati ran all governmental decisions through her small group of

advisors and that she employed food tasters for security.The leaked messages also allege that she

had sent a private jet to Mumbai to retrieve a pair of sandals.Mayawati responded by saying the

statements were baseless.
