Bangladesh evacuates thousands as cyclone nears its shores

Dhaka (PTI) Thousands of people overnight took refuge at makeshift emergency shelters along southwestern Bangladesh coastlines as a cyclone brewing in the Bay of Bengal heads towards its shores.

Officials said the under the influence of the advancing cyclone 'Aila', tidal surges lashed the coastlines damaging nearly a dozen of flood control structures like dams, marooning thousands others.

The Met office earlier on Monday issued the "danger signal no 7" in a scale of 10 revising the earlier signal no 6 for southwestern Mongla Port while the southeastern Chottagong and Cox's Bazar ports were asked to hoist danger signal 6.

Strong winds and tidal surges have already started battering the coastal villages.

The return to government of India's Congress Party with added authority last week was a remarkable victory for an unusual political partnership.

Manmohan Singh, the 76-year-old Oxford-educated economist, will continue as prime minister with a mandate to re-energize the economic reform program he began in 1991.

But Singh keeps his post because he has been chosen by Sonia Gandhi, the Italian-born widow of murdered former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, who against all expectations, including her own, has become the dominant force in Indian politics and leader of the Congress Party.

Singh is her front man and expert in policy and administration while Gandhi excels at the behind-the-scenes political bartering and bargaining that are the life blood of democracies everywhere, but especially in India.

Some eyebrows were raised when she picked Singh to be prime minister after the 2004 election when the campaign she led put the Congress Party in a position to gather a coalition able to command a majority in parliament.

As finance minister in the early 1990s, Singh had begun the process of dismantling the Soviet-style command economy favoured by successive Indian governments in the decades after independence from Britain in 1947.

And as well as presenting the acceptable face of market capitalism, Singh has a reputation for absolute honesty in a political culture that swims in a sea of graft. And he is personally modest and unassuming in a milieu that thrives on charisma and glamour. Some concluded Gandhi picked Singh because he represented no threat to the Gandhi-Nehru family dynasty she controls and which has dominated the Congress Party and provided India with three prime ministers since independence.

But it was a wonder, owing much to Gandhi's backroom skills, that Singh's government survived the last five years.

The Congress-led coalition depended for its survival on several regional communist parties, which raised bitter opposition to some of his economic reform plans, including the privatizing of pension funds and the encouragement of foreign investment.

The communists became totally apoplectic and finally withdrew their support from the Congress Party over Singh's deal with George W. Bush to have the United States recognize India as a nuclear power and mentor New Delhi into the good graces of the international nuclear regulation fraternity.

The expectation among most observers and analysts was that this month-long election, which began in mid-April and involved over 740 million voters, would produce yet another weak coalition dominated, as they have been for 20 years, by regional and caste-based parties making demands far beyond their stature. So it was a surprise when Congress won 261 seats in the 543-seat lower house of parliament and was easily able to put together a solid majority of 322 seats.

Most credit for that must go to Sonia Gandhi. She produced the strategy for confronting the power of the small regional parties and returning Congress to its position as the natural party of power it lost after 1991 when her husband Rajiv was killed by a Tamil suicide bomber.

She insisted on using government revenues bloated by the boom years since 2003, when the Indian economy has grown at nine per cent a year and more, on schemes aimed at the rural poor, who number at least 300 million among the country's 1.1 billion people.

Mountains of rupees have been directed at social, health and education spending as well as public works projects in the countryside, food subsidies and expensive loan repayment waivers for farmers.

If Singh was appalled by this assault on market economy orthodoxy, he kept it to himself.

But the electoral result was to sideline the small socialist and communist parties, and to give Singh a strong hand to drive his own agenda in the new parliament.

India's markets certainly believe that Singh will plough ahead with free-market reforms and restructuring that had to be shelved during the last five years of communist party influence.

Last Monday India's bellwether Sensex index rocketed up 2,000 points and twice tripped "circuit breakers" designed to curb excessive market movement. The first trip came 40 seconds after the market opened and the second 20 seconds after the floor was re-opened after a two-hour cooling off period.

But how long Singh will be around to take advantage of his victory is another question. He had heart surgery earlier this year and may not want or be able to finish his five-year term.

And there is a third person in this political partnership. Rahul Gandhi, 38, is Sonia's son and not only won election to parliament this time, but is credited with much of the organizational reform that toned the Congress party for the campaign.

Sonia Gandhi has always insisted Rahul must earn his political legitimacy. Many observers say that in two years time, when he is 40 and the same age as when his father, Rajiv, became prime minister, Rahul will have earned his stripes.

21 killed, over a lakh hit as cyclone Aila strikes!At least 21 persons were killed and more than one lakh people hit as a cyclone spawned by a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal pounded large parts of West Bengal and coastal Orissa today leaving a trail of devastation and crippling normal life in the two states

However, the good news from the Met department is that cyclone Aila has started gradually weakening.

In neighbouring Bangladesh which is in the path of the cyclone, thousands of people were shifted to makeshift emergency shelters along the southwestern coastlines which were lashed by tidal surges damaging nearly a dozen of flood control structures like dams, marooning thousands others.

The highest number of 14 deaths in West Bengal was reported from South 24 Parganas district, followed by five in Kolkata and one each in Bankura and Howrah districts

"The cyclone, now lying stationery 50 km west of Kolkata, hit West Bengal coast at 1:30 pm near Sagar Island. It is moving in a northerly direction and will weaken gradually, Regional Meteorological Centre Director G C Debnath, told PTI tonight.

"Rains, however, will continue throughout tomorrow," he said.

A severe storm with a windspeed of 110 kmph, accompanied by heavy rainfall, preceded the cyclone ripping through Kolkata, North and South 24 Parganas, Howrah, Hooghly, Burdwan and East Midnapore districts at 110 kmph.

Unofficial reports, however, put the toll at 26 and the number of affected at over two lakh.


Prime Minister Manmohan Singh tonight announced an ex gratia relief of Rs two lakh to the kin of each of those killed in the cyclone even as the Centre mobilised the disaster relief mechanism to meet the situation.
Cyclone 'Aila' spawned from a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal to hit West Bengal leaving at least 21 people dead and a population of 1.10 lakh affected, before gradually weakening.

The Prime Minister announced ex gratia relief of Rs two lakh for each of those killed in the cyclone in West Bengal and other areas of east India, a PMO spokesman said.

Earlier, Home Minister P Chidambaram said the Centre had fully mobilised the disaster relief mechanism and sent around 1,000 personnel of the National Disaster Response Force to deal with the crisis.

Assistance of Army had also been sought to help the civil administration in tackling the challenge.

A severe storm with a wind speed of 110 kmph accompanied by heavy rainfall preceded the cyclone that had formed in the Bay of Bengal from a very deep depression last night.

It ripped through Kolkata, North and South 24 Parganas, Howrah, Hooghly, Burdwan and East Midnapore districts at 110 kmph, killing at least 19 people and affected a population of 1.10 lakh.

Unofficial reports, however, put the toll at 26 and the number of affected at over two lakh.

India's Supreme Court has ordered the release on bail of a leading public health specialist and human-rights activist, Dr Binayak Sen. On the other hand,
India's Gandhi dynasty rides to power from the backroom!


I have already written about IPL Economics. Now I am writing about IPL Politics which has taken over Indian Political Economy. The Reality Show continues and nothing is out of the Holy Script!

It was a day to remember for Indian rights activists, civil society and, of course, his family as the iconic Binayak Sen was on Monday granted bail by the Supreme Court after being held for more than two years under unproven charges of links with Maoists in Chhattisgarh.

Amidst All Round Disaster, our Dear Friend has been grant Bail! But we may not Celebrate! Meanwhile,Key cabinet ministers assumed their respective posts on Monday as
'Team Manhmohan' stated its second innings! The market is agog with expectations of revival of the PSU divestment policy with the second coming of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government at the centre, even as finance minister Pranab Mukherjee got down to the task of budget preparation.

IPL Politics has taken over the DIVIDED Bleeding Geopolitics already torn in War and civil War under Hegemony Rule of TRI IBLIS Post Modern Manusmriti Apartheid and Zionist World Order!

Cyclone Aila made a landfall in West Bengal today, killing 19 people, affecting over a lakh and leaving behind a trail of destruction before gradually weakening. The cyclone slammed into the coastal areas of eastern India and Bangladesh on Monday. Orissa is also effected badly. The CYCLONE affected areas INHIBIT our people, Indigenous, Aboriginal, Minority Communities and Refugees! The Political and Administrative system Over ENGAGED in IPL Politics and Hundred day MASS DESTRUCTION Agenda of the Desi ILLUMINATI, the India Incs NEVER cared to cope with such a SITUATION as it helps Wanted DEMOGRAPHIC Readjustment to SUSTAIN HEGEMONY RULE in the PERIPHERY Economy!

Cyclone Aila rolled into the region, with 110-km/h winds forcing authorities to shut down operations at ports in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal, said B.K. Bandhopadhyaya, an official at the Indian Meteorological Department in New Delhi.


As cyclone 'Aila' brought life in West Bengal to a halt, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Monday spoke to Defence Minister A K Antony and sought assistance of the armed forces to help the civil administration in rescue operations.


Soon after assuming charge of the Finance Ministry, Mr. Mukherjee called up Mr. Antony seeking help from the armed forces for rescue operations, officials said here on Monday.


Mr. Mukherjee told Mr. Antony that the Sundarbans, the habitat of Royal Bengal Tiger, have been badly affected by the cyclone and early assistance is required there.


The Finance Minister also called up Home Minister P Chidambaram and West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee to asses the situation.


Three persons were killed in the metropolis and seven others injured with hundreds of mud houses collapsing in neighbouring districts as cyclone 'Aila' hit the state on Monday.


The army has been alerted by the state authorities.


All flights, including international ones, at the N S C Bose International Airport were suspended from 1400 hours due to the storm.


Commissioner Lalit Modi claimed after Sunday's final that the Indian Premier League had become a global phenomenon.

The claim might have been a touch extravagant, but there could be no doubt that the second version of cricket's richest tournament, moved at short notice from India to South Africa, contributed to a change in world cricket's landscape.

Despite the IPL insisting the International Cricket Council official tours programme took precedence, there were alarming signs for the game's administrators that their hold on top players was weakening.

A graphic illustration was the late departure of West Indian captain Chris Gayle from the IPL. He opted to play an extra game for the struggling Kolkata Knight Riders and joined his Caribbean team-mates only two days before the first Test against England.

Gayle offended traditionalists when he said he wouldn't be sad to give up both the captaincy and Test cricket as he underlined an uncomfortable reality for administrators around the world.

While Gayle reluctantly led the West Indies to two crushing Test defeats, recently retired international players like Australians Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist were able to play the full IPL programme.

The West Indies were playing in England only because Sri Lanka withdrew to enable their star players such as Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara and Lasith Malinga to play in the IPL.

England stars Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff, both signed for 1.55 million dollars a season, could play only a handful of IPL games - but Flintoff added to a recent history of injuries and was unable to play for his country.

While England did not stop Flintoff from playing in the IPL, Australia took a tougher line with contracted players Nathan Bracken, Shane Watson and James Hopes.

All suffered injuries and were prevented from joining the league because Australia wanted to make sure they were fit to play for their country.

With the money on offer from the IPL, however, insisting on such loyalty may become increasingly difficult.

Modi's vision of creating a tournament to rival the big European football leagues was advanced by staging the five-week, 59-match tournament across South Africa.

The concept of the world's best players linking up to franchises for the highest bidders made a change from the traditional diet of international cricket and South African crowds flocked to see the games.

The extravagance of the IPL promotion, fuelled by a television deal worth more than a billion dollars over 10 years, confirmed India as the financial powerhouse of world cricket.

South Africa and Australia entrenched their position in the big-money league as founder members of the Champions League.

The first edition will be played in India between October 8-13 after being postponed last year because of a terror attack on Mumbai.

Three teams from India, two from Australia, South Africa and England and the champions of New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka will play for six million dollars in prize money.

Cyclone ravages Bangla coastlines, 11 killed

Dhaka (PTI) At least 11 people, mostly children, were killed on Monday as cyclone "Aila", packing windspeed of up to 100 kilometres per hour, slammed into the southern coastlines of Bangladesh bursting embankments, levelling houses and flooding low-lying localities.

The Met office said the main brunt of the cyclone spared Bangladesh as West Bengal suffered the storm fury but at least five deaths were caused alone in the coastal Bhola district, which appeared to be the worst-affected area according to initial reports.

"The cyclone crossed the coastline after the evening," a Met office spokesman told PTI.

Five deaths were reported from Bhola, three from Noakhali, one from Barisal, one from Jhalkathi and one from Patuakhali, with most of the victims being children.

Officials reached here by phone said some 30 people including three children were missing in southeastern Cox's Bazar, where the cyclone also left its scourge breaking up embankments.
"At least 50,000 people took refuge at cyclone shelters but another 100,000 are believed to be marooned by gushing waters due to sudden embankment collapse in 13 upazilas (sub-districts)," Red Crescent spokeswomen Rezia Jobed told PTI.

Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Monday said she would formally take charge as the Railway Minister at the Eastern Railway Headquaters here and not at Rail Bhavan in Delhi.

"I am unable to go to Delhi. I have to stand by the people of those affected by the cyclone that has hit West Bengal. I will take charge as Railway Minister at the Eastern Railway headquarters here tomorrow," Mamata told PTI.


She has said that six more MPs would take oath in the Manmohan Singh government on Tuesday.


The Centre has decided to consider the mercy petitions of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and 27 other prisoners on death row and take a decision whether to accept or reject them, Home Minister P Chidambaram said in New Delhi on Monday.


Chidambaram indicated that Afzal's petition would be taken up after similar pleas by 21 others who are listed in sequence before him.


He was answering queries from reporters whether the Centre has worked out any policy for expediting consideration of the mercy petitions of prisoners sentenced to death.


"There are 28 cases on death row. I have asked the Home Secretary to take up those cases in order in which they appear on that list and to ensure that a decision is taken whether the mercy petition should be accepted or rejected. We will advise the President accordingly," Chidambaram said.


"The Home Secretary will now take up the first case and follow it through and we will go down in that order," Chidambaram said, adding "...They (officers) will update me on each case one by one."

To a question when would the mercy petition of Afzal Guru be taken up, Chidambaram replied "he (Afzal) sits on serial number 22. This has been said many times and I want you to remember these two numbers--22 out of 28."

Israeli Phalcon to land in India today! Escorted by combat jets, the first of three Indian Air Force (IAF) "eye-in-the-sky" airborne warning and control systems (AWACS) flew

in from Israel to the Jamnagar airbase in Gujarat Monday and will be formally inducted into the force here Thursday.

The giant IL-76 heavy transport aircraft, configured in its new avatar, was escorted by three MiG-29s and an equal number of Jaguars as it entered Indian airspace.

India will host a multi-nation Champions League Twenty20 competition in October to cash in on the growing popularity of the sport's shortest version, organisers said on Monday.

The tournament, featuring the top domestic T20 teams from seven countries, will be held from October 8-23, Indian Premier League commissioner Lalit Modi said in a statement.


The 12-team event will offer six million dollars as prize money which Modi, who also heads the Champions League, said was the "biggest prize in world cricket at a domestic competition level."


India will field three teams, Australia, South Africa and England two each, while New Zealand, Sri Lanka and the West Indies will have one team each.


India's Deccan Chargers and Bangalore Royal Challengers, which contested the IPL final in Johannesburg on Sunday, gained a direct entry into the Champions League along with Delhi Daredevils, who topped the IPL preliminary round.


Australia will be represented by their domestic T20 finalists Victoria and New South Wales, while Cape Cobras and Eagles will fly South Africa's flag.


Pakistan, which was earlier nominated to send one team, will not feature this year due to Islamabad's refusal to send sporting teams to India amid political tensions between the neighbours, Modi said.


The two English county teams will be finalised on August 25 when their domestic Twenty20 Cup ends.

Otago (New Zealand), Trinidad and Tobago (West Indies) and Wayamba (Sri Lanka) will be the other teams in the fray in the 23-match event.


The 12 teams will be divided into four groups with the top two from each group advancing to the next round. The top four teams in the second round will move to the semi-finals.


The draw will be held in London on June 23, two days after the International Cricket Council's World Twenty20 ends. The match venues will be finalised later.


The Champions League was earlier scheduled to be held in December last year but was postponed following the Mumbai terror strikes in November which killed 166 people.


Tel Aviv: Indian Air Force pilots are all set to fly home first of the three Israeli Phalcon AWACS, India’s most potent force multiplier, capable of tracking down incoming missiles and peep into neighbouring countries without violating their airspace.

“The Russian supplied Ilyushin-76 mounted system, a part of the tripartite agreement between India, Israel and Russia, will take off from the Ben-Gurion airport on Sunday , first for Uvda in the southern Israeli coastal town of Eilat,” Defence Sources here said. “Later in the night it will fly from Eilat to Jamnagar, reaching India on Monday ,” the sources said.

The all weather system, capable of logging 60 targets simultaneously with a range of 400 km, is primarily used for detection of incoming hostile cruise missiles and aircraft from hundreds of kilometres away, as well as directing air defence fighters during combat operations against enemy jets.

It also helps detect troop build up in hostile territories. India’s frontline IAF fighters like Sukhoi-30MKIs, Mirage-2000s and Jaguars after the supply of the aircraft will be backed by “eyes in the sky” to look much beyond its existing capability through direct data linking.

The delivery of the first of the three aircraft, bought at a whopping price of $1.1 billion, is almost a year and a half behind schedule. Much of the delay is being attributed to technical difficulties arising while integrating the Ilyushin-76 aircraft with the whole system.

The remaining two aircraft would be delivered by Mid or late 2010, if everything goes on schedule, the sources said. India and Israel are said to be in advanced talks for the purchase of several more Phalcon AWACS, which the IAF proposes to integrate with other air and ground assets.

All the AWACS bought from Israel would be linked with the country’s first military satellite proposed to be launched by mid next year.

The Phalcons will provide the IAF with intelligence inputs, helping it to maintain air superiority, improve strike capabilities and conduct tactical surveillance deep into neighbouring countries. The U.S. had earlier pressurised Israel to cancel a similar deal with China in 2000 but gave, green light to the deal with India in May 2003. Israel has recently emerged as India’s largest supplier of defence equipments with the country’s weapon sales to New Delhi constituting about 50 per cent of its arms exports. — PTI





Mud embankments in West Bengal burst as heavy rains swelled the rivers, officials said.

The storm uprooted trees and brought down communication lines in Calcutta, West Bengal's state capital.


Tourists along the southern coast in the resort region of Digha were being told to stay inside.

"The situation is very grave, countless families have been displaced, especially in the Sundarbans," Sundarbans state minister Kanti Ganguly told Reuters.

Meanwhile, the storm triggered tidal waves in the Bay of Bengal that slammed into low-lying coastal Bangladesh, damaging thousands of houses, officials said. At least seven people are believed to have been killed in the surges, said officials.


Thousands of people were evacuated from the Khulna district ahead of the storm but about 15,000 people are believed to still be stranded in eight flooded villages, authorities said.


"Thousands of families have been moved to shelters and many left on their own," Salahuddin Chowdhury, an official of the Cyclone Preparedness Centre in Chittagong, told Reuters.


Shrimp farms were also washed away by the waves and rice fields were covered in water.


The storm began to weaken in the evening, said G.C. Debnath, an official at the local meteorological office.


But the Bangladesh Meteorology Department said the ports at Chittagong, Mongla and Cox's Bazar will remain closed until further notice.


BJP President Rajnath Singh on Monday had a telephonic discussion with Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on the violence in the state following the attack on a Dera leader in Vienna on Sunday.

Dr. Binayak Sen, 59, an award-winning paediatrician and national vice-president of the People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), was jailed May 14, 2007, and accused of acting as a courier for an alleged Maoist lodged in jail - making his family, friends and many admirers cry out for justice.

"I am extremely relieved that this ordeal of two years has finally ended. The judiciary has stood up for what is correct. He was held on trumped up charges," his wife Ilina Sen told IANS in Raipur.

A Supreme Court vacation bench of Justice Markandey Katju and Justice Deepak Verma granted him bail even as voices for his release have grown louder.

"This is good news, but it is delayed by two years. Justice should have been done by granting him bail two years ago," said Rajendra K. Sail, president of the Chhattisgarh PUCL.

Dr. Binayak Sen had been lodged at the Raipur Central Jail under the stringent Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act.

Former law minister Shanti Bhushan, appearing for Dr. Sen, had earlier pleaded with the court to accord an urgent hearing to the bail plea in view of his precarious health condition.

His wife Ilina and daughter Pranhita flew in to Raipur from Mumbai as soon as the news of the court order came.

When asked if her husband would continue working for public health in tribal areas of Chhattisgarh, Ilina said: "I know that the health services that he was providing have suffered in the last two years. But at the moment I am waiting for him to be released and want him to recover from his health problems."

"I am overwhelmed at the decision of the Supreme Court and we thank people of the country, especially journalists, who have supported us in our fight," said his brother Dipankar Sen.

Mr. Dipankar, a trader in the commodities market in Antwerp, Belgium, is currently in India and has been fighting for his brother's freedom.

The state's government has kept silent over the apex court's decision. Earlier, it had even opposed Dr. Sen's plea to be treated at his alma mater, the Christian Medical College in Vellore, Tamil Nadu.

Gautam Kumar Bandyopadhyay, a rights activist and convenor of NGO Nadi Ghati Morcha, described Dr. Binayak Sen's bail as a "victory of human rights" in Chhattisgarh.

"It's the victory of human rights in the state. Dr. Sen's bail is a blow to the state's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, which is targeting people who try and raise (their voice) against human rights violations in Chhattisgarh."

On May 4, former law minister Ram Jethmalani, appearing for Dr. Binayak Sen, had contended that despite the case against him having been demolished in a trial court, the Chhattisgarh High Court was not entertaining his bail plea.

Dr. Sen's younger daughter Aparajita, who is in Delhi, said she cannot wait for the "scattered family" of four to be united. A Class 12 student in Mumbai, she was in the capital on Monday for a National School of Drama workshop.


"My mother, sister and I have spent the last two years in struggle and hoping...it was painful living without my father and knowing he was in jail," she sighed.

"The family will finally be united," she said.



"The cyclone, now lying stationery 50 km west of Kolkata, hit the West Bengal coast at 1.30 pm near Sagar Island. It is moving in a northerly direction and will weaken gradually," Regional Meteorological Centre Director G C Debnath told PTI tonight.

"Rains, however, will continue throughout tomorrow," he said.

A severe storm with a wind speed of 110 kmph accompanied by heavy rainfall preceded the cyclone that had formed in the Bay of Bengal from a very deep depression last night.

It ripped through Kolkata, North and South 24 Parganas, Howrah, Hooghly, Burdwan and East Midnapore districts at 110 kmph, killing at least 19 people and affected a population of 1.10 lakh, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and Finance Minister Ashim Dasgupta told newsmen here.

Unofficial reports, however, put the toll at 26 and the number of affected at over two lakh.


On the other hand ,Normal life was disrupted in several parts of coastal Orissa as heavy rains accompanied by high-velocity wind pounded many areas on Monday under the impact of a cyclonic storm. Low-lying areas were inundated in coastal districts like Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, Bhadrak and Balasore districts due to incessant rains since yesterday, damaging around 400 thatched huts, sources said adding no loss of life has been reported so far.


A large number of tourists were stranded here and on the highways while returning from this sea resort town in West Bengal's East Midnapore district after a cyclonic storm hit the state on Monday.


District Magistrate Choten D Lama said, "Tourists were stuck at various points from Digha to Kolaghat by uprooted trees and electrical poles. Steps are being taken to clear the roads."
Tourist vehicles were stranded at Pichaboni, Chaulkhola, Digha and Ramnagar.

Hundreds of small eateries and stalls selling souvenirs on the coast were washed away by huge waves which lashed the shores at Digha, Mandarmani and Shankarpur since morning, Ms. Lama said.

Several coastal villages, comprising 1,500 houses, were inundated after a sea dyke was breached by tidal waves, she said.


There was no power and scarcity of drinking water in the district following the storm.

Ms. Lama said crops, particularly paddy and betel, grown on 60,000 acres were damaged.
A large number of trees was uprooted and branches broken in Jagatsinghpur and Cuttack districts as gale with speed up to 100 kmph swept the coast, blocking several roads and disrupting vehicular movement.

Water logging also affected road traffic in several places in Cuttack, Paradip and Jagatsinghpur, giving a tough time to office goers, they said adding electricity supply was also hit in many places.

In the capital city of Bhubanesawar, power supply was disrupted for about seven hours in several localities including Bapuji Nagar, Ashok Nagar, Patia, Chandrasekharpur and Jayadev Vihar this morning.

Many parts of Balasore district also remained without electricity for over eight hours, sources said.

Low lying areas of Cuttack like Sutahat, Friends Colony, Patapola and Police Colony were flooded due to incessant rainfall

The cyclonic storm 'Aila' over Bay of Bengal, which lay about 140 km east of Paradip, is likely to intensify further and move in northerly direction and cross West Bengal coast shortly.

Under its impact, heavy to very heavy rainfall was experienced at some places in coastal Orissa as areas like Ersama, Balikuda and Biridi and the port town of Paradip in Jagatsinghpur district were severely affected.

About 1000 hectares of agricultural land with standing crops in Ersama area was submerged as high to very high waves lashed the Orissa coast.

Cyclone shelter centres were opened at several places in Jagatsinghpur district to enable people from low lying areas to take refuge.

The weather office advised suspension of fishing operation asking fishermen not to venture into the sea, while danger signals were hoisted at Chandbali, Paradip, Gopalpur and Puri.

Steps were initiated to remove uprooted trees blocking roads in order to ensure early restoration of normal vehicular movement.

The Union Home Ministry has warned that the cyclone located over the Bay of Bengal, may hit coastal areas of West Bengal.

Gale wind with speed reaching 90 kmph is likely along and off West Bengal, it said, adding that sea condition will be high to very high.

Breaking of tree branches may cause damage to power and communication lines over the coastal districts, it warned.

The system is likely to intensify further and move in a near northerly direction and cross West Bengal coast near Sagar Island, it said.

The Home Ministry said there was possibility of rainfall at most places with heavy to very heavy falls at a few places and isolated extremely heavy falls over Gangetic West Bengal and north coastal Orissa during next two days.


Coastal areas of South 24-Parganas and Midnapur districts of West Bengal are also likely to be inundated, it added.


Team Manmohan takes charge

New Delhi Team Manmohan took charge of office today as key cabinet ministers assumed their respective roles along with the Prime Minister. Those who took over their offices included Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Home Minister P Chidambaram and External Affairs Minister SM Krishna.

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee took charge of the his ministry on Monday, a portfolio he held 25 years ago in the government led by Indira Gandhi.

The first task before Mukherjee, who was also in charge of the Finance Minister in the previous government, would be to present the budget for 2009-10 and spell out policies and priorities of the new UPA government.

64-year-old Chidambaram is one among the 19 Cabinet ministers who were sworn-in on May 22, along with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Chidambaram, a Harvard educated lawyer, was shifted to the Home Ministry from the Finance Ministry by the Prime Minister in the wake of the Mumbai terror attack last year which led to the resignation of Shivraj Patil from the post.

He has earned the reputation of being a good economic administrator capped by his image as a tough taskmaster during his short stint as the Home Minister.

Chidambaram has been focusing on reorganising the intelligence network, tightening the provisions in the anti-terror laws and amending the CISF Act.

Pawar takes charge as Agriculture Minister

NCP-supremo Sharad Pawar on Monday took charge as Minister of Agriculture, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, beginning his tenure for the second time.

Pawar convened a meeting of senior officials and took stock of the situation in the agriculture, which would require a fresh impetus in the face of increasing debt burden on farmers despite loan waivers.

He takes over the reigns of the agriculture affairs when the country has harvested a bumper foodgrain production and the central pool are overflowing with wheat and rice.

India is estimated to have harvested a record over 99 million tonnes of rice in 2008-09 season. Wheat output is pegged at 77.63 million tonnes, which is slightly less than last year's record 78.57 million tonnes.

On the back of bumper production and higher support price, the Centre has procured record wheat and rice in the ongoing season.

From a situation when India had to go in for imports in 2006, lifting ban on exports of wheat and non-basmati rice could be Pawar's first major administrative decision in the coming days in his second tenure at Krishi Bhavan.

‘IPL primes India for World Cup’

; Press Trust of India
JOHANNESBURG, 24 MAY: Youngsters gaining experience in handling pressure, the emergence of match-winning part-timers and valuable practice are the positives Indians have taken from the Indian Premier League as they get ready to defend their Twenty20 World Championship crown next month, says skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
“Well, the good thing in this tournament that will really help us in the International Cricket Council World Cup Twenty20 meet is the emergence of part-timers who have done really well," he said, naming, among others, Yusuf Pathan and Pragyan Ojha.
“Most of the spinners are part-timers who are parts of the side; they have bowled in that particular time when you, as a bowler, are under pressure. The experience will really count as this tournament had many games that went really close. Most of the Indian batsmen ... or maybe the bowlers who were parts of winning moments, were under pressure. They will handle the pressure well when it comes to an international Twenty20 game," Dhoni said. He said he had been impressed by the domestic talent he had seen during the championship in South Africa.
“We have seen new domestic players come up and perform at this level. Overall, you can say, it was a good tournament for us. Also, last year's IPL helped the Indian team perform better in the Twenty20 and one-day formats. Hopefully, this year's tournament will take us to the next level,” he said.
The Chennai Super Kings had been the runners-up last year but crashed out at the semi-final stage this season. Dhoni said the team had been undone by injuries to some key bowlers.
Nor was the wicketkeeper-batsman all that happy with his team's fielding. “Well, of course, it's a batsman's game; people say it's a batsman's game but bowlers are important because they definitely contribute to the team's efforts. Our bowling department was very fragile from the very start. Injuries never really help,” he said, adding: “Sudeep Tyagi, Albie Morkel and Manpreet Singh Gony suffered injuries. That was a problem. But, overall, I am quite happy with the performance of our side. We definitely need to field better. We are actually a better fielding side than we looked like in this tournament. Hopefully, next year, we will be a better fielding side.”

CPM man hacked in Nandigram

;Statesman News Service
TAMLUK, 24 MAY: Even after the conclusion of the Lok Sabha elections, violence has not left long-suffering Nandigram alone.
A 55-year-old CPI-M worker and his family members were badly hacked, allegedly by Trinamul Congress workers, and they are now battling for their lives in the hospital.
Mr Santosh Barman, a party member of the CPI-M's Satengabari branch committee and his family members were attacked by the alleged Trinamul Congress workers soon after the end of a meeting of newly elected Trinamul Congress MP Mr Subhendu Adhikari at nearby Ranichawk yesterday, apparently because they had led the CPI-M party during the election.
A severely injured Mr Barman and his wife and son were first taken to the Kamardah hospital from where they were shifted to the Tamluk district hospital as their conditions were stated to be critical. Today, Mr Barman was shifted to the SSKM hospital in Kolkata as his condition was deteriorating fast.
Mr Ashok Guria, CPI-M district secretariat member alleged: “The Trinamul Congress workers had chopped Mr Barman and his son mercilessly. Mr Barman is now in a coma in the SSKM.
“He needed a total of 53 stitches as the attackers had hacked at him all over his body and broke both his hands and legs. They also had not spared his wife. They
kicked her abdomen so badly that bleeding from her private parts has not been stopped till today. We
have lodged a complaint with the Nandigram police demanding the immediate arrest of the culprits,” Mr Guria said.
When asked, Mr Abu Taher, a Trinamul Congress leader in Nandigram said: “He was not attacked by our workers for political reasons, but he could have been attacked for other reasons”.


Underdogs rule

; Agencies
JOHANNESBURG, 24 MAY: Deccan Chargers completed an extraordinary journey from being at the bottom of the table last year to win the second edition of the Indian Premier League, defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore by six runs in a pulsating final at the New Wanderers here Sunday.
Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds, who has not been included in the Australian team to defend the Ashes in England this year, led the Deccan Chargers to a six-run victory over the Royal Challengers, boosting the Chargers' innings with 33 from 21 balls.
South Africa's one-day opener Herschelle Gibbs batted through the innings to score 53 not out in the Chargers' 143 for six.
Promising South African all-rounder Roelof van der Merwe (32) and New Zealander Ross Taylor (27) mounted a spirited response before Symonds took two wickets with two balls and Bangalore finished on 137 for nine.
Van der Merwe struck three sixes from 21 balls and Taylor was also in threatening form before Symonds had Taylor caught hooking by Venugopal Rao at deep square-leg in the 15th over and wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist pulled off a brilliant leg-side stumping to dismiss Virat Kohli (7) off the next delivery. Bangalore went into the final over needing 15 runs to win, but Rudra Pratap Singh, the leading wicket-taker in the competition, frustrated their efforts with his canny variations.
Earlier, Bangalore captain Anil Kumble scythed through the early batting, bowling Gilchrist for a duck in the first over and also removing Symonds. Legspinner Kumble, who opened the bowling himself after opting to field on winning the toss at the Wanderers, bowled with good flight and accuracy to return figures of 4-16 in four overs. Herschelle Gibbs top-scored for Deccan with an unbeaten 53 while Andrew Symonds was the next best performer with 33. Gibbs smashed three boundaries and two sixes in 48 balls while Symonds faced 21 balls and cracked four boundaries and a six. The pair shared a third wicket stand of 40 runs to bring the Deccan innings back on track after the setback of losing in-form captain Adam Gilchrist in the first over.
Brief scores: Deccan Chargers 143/6 (Gibbs 53*, Kumble 4/16) Royal Challengers Bangalore 137/9 (Ojha 3/28, Symonds 2/18)


CPM policies helped Cong, feels Karat

KOLKATA, 24 MAY: The CPI-M general secretary, Mr Prakash Karat, feels that pro-people programmes adopted by the Congress-led UPA under sustained pressure by the Left parties have actually helped the Congress to secure a remarkable victory in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls.
Following the CPI-M's debacle in Lok Sabha polls in West Bengal and Kerala, Mr Karat has written an article in his party mouthpiece ~ People’s' Democracy ~ claiming that the role played by Left Parties in the Parliament had forced the UPA to take many pro-people policies which helped UPA notching up an amazing victory. The comment came at a time when the CPI-M is busy in a soul-searching exercise to find out the reasons behind party's unprecedented electoral setback.
Analysing the “reason for Congress success”, Mr Karat, stated in his article that some measures and social welfare programmes (taken by the UPA under the pressure of the Left Parties) have had a "positive impact" on the people.
His article states: "Despite the neo-liberal predilections of the Congress-led government, some of the measures adopted have had a positive impact on the people. These are the NREGA which now extends to the entire country, the Tribal Forest Rights Act and the increase in the minimum support price for rice and wheat, the loan waiver scheme for farmers and some such measures, many of whom were brought under the pressure of the Left parties." Mr Karat commented that despite the agrarian crisis, such measures provided "some relief" to the rural people. He also pointed out that UPA's success in electoral battle should be seen in the light of some policies of various state governments such as providing rice at Rs 1 or 2 per kilogram to the people. He however didn't explain why majority of the electorate of West Bengal refused to vote for Left Front though the CPI-M-led government. ;SNS


‘Left lost touch with ground reality’

;Agencies
New Delhi, 24 MAY: The CPI-M seems to be feeling bitter about its allies like BSP and JD-S switching sides to the UPA after the Third Front's electoral debacle, with a senior party leader saying the post-poll developments have proved that the “cut and paste” alliance was a mistake. Mr Yechury admitted that the party had “lost touch” with the ground reality in its bastions of West Bengal and Kerala.
“You are right about BSP, JD-S and TRS and that is precisely the point that I am making, our decision is that it was neither credible nor viable and this (deserting the pre-poll alliance) only confirmed that,” CPI-M Politburo member Mr Sitaram Yechury has said.
Mr Yechury was responding to questions on Karan Thapar's Devil's Advocate programme whether it was a mistake to ally with parties which were earlier with the BJP. BSP and JD-S are now supporting the Congress-led government while TRS has crossed over to the NDA.
“That is why in retrospect, we are saying that people did not find it (Third Front) credible,” he said to a question on whether they chose wrong allies like the BSP. To a spate of questions on reported demands for general secretary Mr Prakash Karat's resignation, he said the Central Committee would be meeting in June to analyse the causes for the debacle and noted that Mr Karat's quitting would only imply “escaping from responsibility”.
Asked whether veteran Marxist Jyoti Mr Basu had advised against breaking ties with the UPA, Mr Yechury said he might have had his opinions which were raised in party committees, “but there is no advice that has come to us.”
On Mr Karat, Mr Yechury maintained that the Communist parties functioned on the principles of collective function and individual responsibility.
“It will have to be a collective assessment that we will make of these results ... And remember, resignation also can be escape from responsibilities.”
To questions on critical views expressed by senior leaders and former MPs that the CPI-M leadership had “lost touch” with the ground reality, he said “all issues will be discussed by us and we will come to a self-critical conclusion.”
This was the first time in last two decades that the party has no role in a secular government at the Centre and that is why the people had expressed disappointment, he said, adding the CPI-M numbers in Lok Sabha this time have plummeted from the earlier lowest of 19 in 1967 to 16.
On severe criticism of the CPI-M by a number of Left party leaders blaming central leadership and decision to forge a Third Front, he said these views would also be considered in the review.
Mr Yechury was of the view that the way the Third Front or the state-level alliances were brought together and projected at the national level was a “mistake”.
“The third alternative will have to bring about a shift in the policy trajectory. But that cannot be a cut and paste job on the eve of elections. To achieve our objective of third alternative, there are no short-cuts,” Mr Yechury said.
Asked whether prospect of projection of Miss Mayawati as Prime Ministerial candidate let a number of people off, he said the question was not of stability alone.
“They (people) wanted stability with a commitment to the secular democratic foundations of India.”




Review work underway

;Statesman News Service
KOLKATA, May 24 : The “suicidal” push for industrialisation through farm land acquisition, the “adventurist" step of withdrawing Left support from the UPA-government on the Indo-US nuke deal, pushing the Congress to tie up with the Trinamul and the “futile” exercise of scouting support for the Third Front only a few months before the Lok Sabha poll were the primary reasons for the Left Front's debacle in West Bengal.
The CPI-M state committee, which held a brain-storming session today to identify the reasons for the crushing defeat that the Trinamul Congress-Congress combine had inflicted on it in the Lok Sabha elections, pinpointed these factors for the rout.
The stunning blow made the CPI-M so nervous that the state committee decided to be open to “public criticism so that it could correct its mistakes,” which was in stark contrast to the party leadership's style of functioning marked by contempt for the people.
It was the gloomiest session the party ever had during its 32-year-long rule and the mood of the 80-odd members was such that none of the central leaders, including Mr Prakash Karat or Mr Sitaram Yechury found it wise to be present to avert unpleasant situations.
Despite the denial by the CPI-M leadership that either of the two central leaders was scheduled to attend the meeting, the tenor of the discussions, presided over by central committee member, Mr Benoy Konar, did indicate the extent of grouse against the hard line adopted by Mr Karat on the nuke deal issue and the closing of all options for a rapprochement with the Congress in post-poll equations.
Some of them said hadn't the Congress been forced to forge an alliance with the Trinamul, the Left would certainly have retained most of the seats that it had won in 2004 elections.
At the same time leaders of several districts, where no attempt was made to acquired land for industrialisation, blamed the failure of leaders, including Mr Lakshman Seth, to feel the pulse of the people, who were vehemently opposed to land grab, and forewarn the party.
Corruption in the CPI-M-run panchayats, partisan implementation of rural development schemes and arrogance of different party functionaries in dealing with the rural poor were also cited as reasons for the “alienation of the people” from the party.
Mr Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee outlined the steps to be taken to speedily implement various government schemes through the panchayats and the civic bodies.
The state committee feared the Trinamul and its allies would from now on create all sorts of obstacles and lawlessness to prevent the state government from properly functioning during the next two years so that the LF-government could be blamed for non-performance before the Assembly elections scheduled in 2011.


athehdar Akal Takht expresses solidarity with Vienna victims

Amritsar (PTI) Jathehdar Akal Takht (highest Sikh temporal seat) Gyani Gurbachan Singh on Monday expressed sympathy and solidarity with the victims of Vienna incident and urged their followers across Punjab to maintain peace and tranquility.

Addressing a press conference here, the Jathehdar condemned the killing of Sant Rama Nand and described it "inhuman."

He said that the Sikh religious scripture and message of Sikh masters always suggested to love everybody and brotherhood.

The violence started in reaction to attack by certain miscreants on the congregation in a Gurdwara where Sant Niranjan Dass and Sant Ram Nand were holding a sermon.

Atleast six persons belonging to a rival group attacked the preachers injuring 30 people, nine of them critically.

Sant Rama Nand later died in the hospital during operation.

Sant Niranjan Dass who is head of the Guru Ravi Dass Gurdawara in village Ballan on Jalandhar-Pathankot road was injured but out of danger, reports said


Govt. finds Rs 1,200 crores in frozen demat accounts

New Delhi (PTI) The I-T department has found over Rs 1,200 crores lying unaccounted in lakhs of frozen demat accounts across the country and has sought a detailed probe on the possibility of their use for illegal transaction and tax evasion.

The department has now sent the reports of such accounts to the respective Chief Commissioners of Income Tax (CCITs) in various parts of the country to check the veracity of such accounts in their regions.

More than 6.5 lakh frozen demat accounts were taken under scanner and investigated by the Income Tax Department in December last year on the suspicion of huge evasion of taxes and 'benami' transactions.

According to official sources, the CCITs have been asked to serve notices to all the account holders and report unclaimed accounts so that such accounts can be seized.

All the I-T Commissioners have also been asked to prepare "detailed reports" on the transactions of these accounts.
Official sources said that distinction between claimed and unclaimed accounts will help the authorities to proceed with further probe or seizure procedures respectively, as these accounts could lead to links to further cases of tax evasions and unreported economic transactions.
'New govt to face security threat with speed, decisiveness'

New Delhi (PTI) With terrorism and naxalite violence being considered as key challenges, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Monday said the new government will respond to any threat to security, public order and communal harmony "with speed and decisiveness".

"Terrorism, naxalite violence and insurgency in the north-east are the key challenges before the country. We will raise the level of preparedness to meet the increasing threat to security, public order and communal harmony," he told reporters here on the first day of joining office.

The Home Minister said the government will respond any of these threat using modern systems, highly trained human resources and advanced technological tools.

Signalling that the centre was determined to deal with Left-wing extremism with an iron hand, Mr. Chidambaram said the centre would first carry out a "police action followed by development."

"Naxalites are anti-development. We build schools, they demolish the school buildings. Telecom operators put up mobile towers, they blast those towers. We build panchayat houses, they blast those houses," he said.

"We build roads, they mine the roads. Therefore, it is important that police action takes place first. The area is cleared of naxalites and immediately followed with development activities like building roads, schools and bringing electricity," Mr. Chidambaram said.

About the Left-wing extremism during election period, he said "as far as naxalite violence is concerned, by and large the election passed off peacefully, but for three rather bad incidents of naxalite violence.

"Such violence is condemnable. Infact, the naxals took advantage of the fact that our forces have been spread through out the country. But we will respond," the Home Minister said.

Mr. Chidambaram said the 100-day security Action Plan launched on February 21 last was implemented substantially and a new 100-day plan will be implemented beginning June 1, as directed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Referring to the Congress manifesto which had promised to deal with the scourge of terrorism squarely and decisively and the April seven declaration of the party that pledged to provide strong and decisive leadership to meet the challenge of terrorism, he said these two documents will serve as guide and help bring a focus to the efforts of the Home Ministry.


Power struggle may be brewing among LTTE remnants

Colombo (PTI) A power-struggle appears to be brewing among the remnants of the LTTE, with one faction claiming that the Tamil Tiger leadership, including its supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran is safe and will re-emerge when the "right time comes".

Two groups of the Tiger remnants have joined issue in the pro-Tiger Tamil website 'Tamilnet' on the fate of Prabhakaran.

Almost, a week after the Sri Lankan government announced that its troops killed the LTTE chief in the fighting in the northern war zone, the groups newly named chief of international relations S Pathmanathan admitted that Prabhakaran was dead.

"We announce today with inexpressible sadness and heavy hearts that our incomparable leader, the supreme commander of the LTTE, attained martyrdom," Pathmanathan said in a statement on Sunday.

While Pathmanathan advocated that LTTE which had lost its military capacity will henceforth go for a non-violent struggle, the other group headed by the intelligence wing cadre say they would open their cards at the right moment.

"The Intelligence Department of the Tigers reiterated on Sunday that the LTTE leadership is safe and it will re-emerge when the right time comes", the Tamilnet said.

Pak troops secure key Taliban base, 2.4 million flee fighting

Islamabad (PTI): Pakistani troops captured a key Taliban stronghold in Swat valley and moved to wrest its main town Mingora, where the militants today appealed to civilians to return and promised to hold fire but stopped short of calling it a truce.

Amid intense fighting, nearly 2.4 million people have fled their homes, the UN and government officials said.

The military said the security forces have secured Maalam Jabba, located on the main line of communication and connecting Swat Valley with Mansehra in Hazara area.

Once popular with tourists for its pristine ski slopes, it was being used as a training centre and logistics base by terrorists, a military statement said.

"After stiff resistance, security forces have secured Maalam Jabba, the stronghold of militant-terrorists in Swat," it said.

Officials said six Taliban were killed, eight arrested and six security personnel were injured in the last 24 hours in different parts of the restive region.

The forces have also started an operation to secure Kabbal, the main stronghold of Taliban, where fleeing militants from Mingora are gathering, the military said.
The security forces are facing "stiff resistance" as they moved to secure the militant strongholds, according to the statement. Troops had to clear improvised explosive devices while advancing, it said.

IAF drops Russia from $1 bn deal

New Delhi, May 25, 2009

Last Updated: 01:45 IST(25/5/2009)

Russia is set to lose a billion dollar (Rs 48,000 crore) defence deal for midair refuellers, signalling a break in its over 50-year-old monopoly as India’s preferred military supplier.

The former communist giant has clearly lost favour with the Indian military, as the air force has decided not to field any more Russian Ilyushin-78 refuellers to keep fighter jets airborne for considerably longer periods by tanking them up during flight.

After operating Il-78 tankers for almost six years, the Indian Air Force has said the Russian platform does not meet its requirements and it wants to deploy the Airbus A330 multi-role tanker transport (MRTT) offered by European aerospace corporation EADS.

The Il-78 and Airbus 330 MRTT were competing for the $1 billion global tender floated three years ago by the defence ministry for six midair refuellers to extend the operating radiuses of Indian fighter jets.

In an exclusive interview to HT, IAF chief Air Chief Marshal Fali Homi Major said, “We have finished all evaluations and selected the A330 MRTT. The deal will come up for final approval by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) very soon. The Russian platform did not meet certain requirements.” The A330 MRTT is a military derivative of the Airbus A330 airliner.

Cracks in the India-Russia defence relationship have existed for some time now. Some of the irritants include Russia seeking mid-course price revisions in contracts for Sukhoi-30 fighters and aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov, a problem of steady supply of spares, poor vendor support after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and transfer of technology issues.

The air chief, who retires on May 31 on turning 62, said, “After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia has changed the whole pattern of doing defence business. Now we are faced with issues concerning spares, vendor support and built-in delays in the structure of their centralised military corporations.”

Two years ago, Navy chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta had publicly said that India needed to take a relook at its military relationship with Russia, much to the government’s discomfort. The armed forces maintain that Russian equipment comes cheap but entails huge maintenance costs.

The A330 MRTT has won several tanker competitions with contracts signed by the governments of United Kingdom, Australia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The first A330 MRTT would be delivered to the IAF within three years of signing of the deal while the remaining five would be inducted 15 months after that.

Definition Marketing activities designed to influence about political issues, particular candidates for public office, or public issues and mind set of general public, politically called voters. Although political marketing uses many of the same techniques that other forms of marketing do, it is actually used to promote a concept or an idea, rather than a specific product or service, and to motivate people to vote for that idea. Scope Generally all type of marketing activities is focused on self-interest, but that in politics is focused on the common good and public interest. Political marketing is beneficial for both, the leaders and voters. Political marketing is an effective key to success, by practicing specific marketing techniques we can build public image of specific leader. The scope of Political marketing is not narrow, to increase number of voters, it also includes to make new and existing voters more loyal to their party and leaders. We offer political consultancy to political parties and political leaders to make a best election campaign services for Political Marketing and Consulting in Asia. We Guarantee for success in election for a party or a person. Political Consulting must be started at least two years before election to get good results. if you are a party leader or a Political personality and or a association, and if you want to get political consultation just contact me and i will do the rest.
