I am happy, says Rahul Gandhi on the passage of Land Acquisition bill in Lok Sabha

The Lok Sabha on Thursday passed the landmark Land Acquisition Bill, which seeks to provide just and fair compensation to farmers while ensuring that no land can be acquired forcibly, with overwhelming majority. The bill is definitely is the brain-child of Congress Vice President and Amethi MP Rahul Gandhi.

"I am happy that Land Acquisition Bill has been passed", said Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi after the passage of the path-breaking Bill. Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, though she is under rest after a hospital check-up,  also attended the proceedings for a brief period.
"The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill, 2012" stipulates mandatory consent of at least 70 per cent for acquiring land for Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects and 80 per cent for acquiring land for private companies.

The Bill, which will replace over a century-old law, proposes compensation that is up to four times the market value in rural areas and two times the market value in urban areas.

The Bill was passed with 216 votes in favour and 19 against. Left parties, AIADMK and BJD members staged a walkout. Trinamool Congress voted against the Bill while main Opposition BJP as also SP and BSP supported the legislation.
Following are the highlights of the Land Acquisition Bill passed by the Lok Sabha on Thursday:

-Payment of compensations that is up to 4 times the market value in rural areas and 2 times the market value in urban areas.

- To address historical injustice the Bill applies retrospectively to cases where no land acquisition award has been made.

- No law can be acquired in Scheduled Areas without the consent of the Gram Sabhas.

- No one shall be dispossessed until and unless all payments are made and alternative sites for the resettlement and rehabilitation have been prepared.
- Compensation to those who are dependent on the land being acquired for their livelihood.

- In cases where PPP projects are involved or acquisition is taking place for private companies, the Bill requires the consent of no less than 70 per cent and 80 per cent respectively (in both cases) of those whose land is sought to be acquired.

- To safeguard food security and to prevent arbitrary acquisition, the Bill directs States to impose limits on the area under agricultural cultivation that can be acquired.

- In case land remains unutilised after acquisition, the new Bill empowers states to return the land either to the owner or to the State Land Bank.
- No income tax shall be levied and no stamp duty shall be charged on any amount that accrues to an individual as a result of the provisions of the new law.
- Where acquired land is sold to a third party for a higher price than 40 per cent of the appreciated land value (or profit) will be shared with the original owners.

- In every project those losing land and belonging to the SC or ST will be provided land equivalent to land acquired or two and a one-half acres, whichever is lower (this is higher than in the case of non-SC/ST affected families)
- Where the affected families belonging to the SC and the ST are relocated outside of the district then they shall be paid an additional 25 rehabilitation and resettlement benefits to which they are entitled in monetary terms along with a one-time entitlement of fifty thousand rupees.

381 amendments were moved to the Bill, of which 166 were official ones. Of the Opposition amendments, some were withdrawn and others defeated during voting.
The government accepted some opposition amendments, including two moved by Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj. These included that instead of acquisition, land could be leased to developers so that its ownership remains with farmers and provide them regular annual income.

Asserting that the new law will address "historical injustice", the Government said this law is being enacted under the Concurrent list and the states can bring their own law on the subject without derogating from the central law. The Bill will replace the archaic Act of 1894 which suffers from various shortcomings including silence on the issue of resettlement and rehabilitation of those displaced by the acquisition of land.

Rahul Gandhi stresses for Dalit empowerment

New Delhi: Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi, while speaking at the ' National Dialogue on Social Disparity ' organised by the National Commission for Women Scheduled Castes at the Constitution Club in New Delhi on Tuesday emphasized that there is a need to encourage the weaker sections and Dalits. He asserted that there was a need to lift the weaker sections of the people from the grass root up the hierarchy. "I want Dalits to once again feel that they are the backbone of Congress Party," said Rahul Gandhi.

The Congress President said further "We need to provide weaker sections and Dalits with better educational opportunities and there is also a need to change the education system". Rahul Gandhi said he had been able to make the assessment after visiting the states in the country and witnessing the elections during the last eight to nine years he has been in the politics of the country.

"When we have the elections for the Lok Sabha and the Vidhan Sabha, how many people take decisions? How many people decide as to who will contest the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha polls, who will become the Prime Minister? " asked Rahul Gandhi and also pointed out that only 500 people take a final call on who would be the candidates for the polls and who would be the person leading the country.
In the Congress Party, Rahul Gandhi said, around a hundred people were involved in taking a final call on the selection of candidates to contest the elections and around 70 to 80 people were involved in taking a final decision in the BJP. In the Samajwadi Party, the decision was taken by three persons, and the BJD two people. In the BSP, the privilege of taking the decision was that of only one person. In the ultimate analysis, only 500 people took the decision.

"I want to tell you that till the time these 500 people continue to take decisions about the country's politics, the voices of the Dalits will not reach the Lok Sabha and the Vidhan Sabha," he added. Rahul Gandhi further recalled that it was his father and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, who helped spread telecommunications across the country by installing a PCO in every village. "Earlier, only the MPs and MLAs had the right to communications. And that is exactly what is happening in the country's political system at present," said the Congress Vice President.

Rahul Gandhi urges Congress leaders to counter false propaganda with facts

New Delhi: Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday urged his party leaders to fight the BJP’s half truths and negative campaign with facts and ideology. The young Congress vice-president compared India to a computer, saying Congress was its default programme.

Rahul Gandhi, along with party colleagues Manish Tewari, Ajay Maken, Deepender Singh Hooda, Priya Dutt and Shashi Tharoor, addressed the Congress's workshop to train spokespersons on the best way to use social media platforms. He emphasised the need to send out a positive message based on the party's ideology.
Apart from the PCC representatives, several volunteers who have contributed their views to defend and promote the Congress on social media also participated in the one-day workshop in the Capital.

In the meeting Rahul Gandhi only gave ideological view about the way party should fight the BJP; he didn't name anyone in particular."We shouldn't break the decorum. Whatever the provocation we shouldn't cross the line. Maintain the line of decency," Rahul Gandhi said. He asked Congress leaders not to get provoked by the BJP and to counter them with facts."We should go well prepared. There is no place for anger. Our country is known for tolerance," further said Rahul Gandhi.

The Congress's communication chief, Ajay Maken, who asked others to not give "too much" importance and attention to Modi, also justified the need to respond to him with facts and figures because of the media attention he has been receiving. The Congress will also be replicating its communication wings at the Centre and in the states for a more formalised, effective and coordinated message across the country.

Madras Café recreates the history by touching upon Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination

John Abraham is very much happy to produce Madras Café in which he is playing an Intelligence officer. The film depicts the political scenario in early 1990s in the state of Tamil Nadu thus, during the time when then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated. A character who looks like Rajiv Gandhi present in the film showcasing the brutal murder of then Indian Prime Minister has caused for some debates in the film world and politics.

The film is set in the early 1990s, around the time of Rajiv Gandhi's assassination. It was insinuated that the LTTE had a hand in the slaying of the Indian Prime Minister on May 21, 1991, at Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu and the film is based against this backdrop. What has really become the talking point is the likeness of the actor who plays Rajiv Gandhi in the film. One can clearly see the resemblance the actor bears to the political leader.  In waiving the crowd, the dress with a tri-colour shawl around the neck, the type of watch worn – all have got tremendous similarity with Rajiv Gandhi. Further the character who plays the main villain character is almost look like V Prabhakaran – the killed LTTE chief. 

LTTE has been under scanner behind the killing of Rajiv Gandhi. Madras Café recreates the history by touching upon Rajiv Gandhi’s subject. John said, “Madras Café is a revision for those who know what had happened, through our eyes but most importantly, it is for our youth who is unaware of the Indian politics of early 90s. This film aims at enlightening their knowledge in an entertaining way.” “Though I am apolitical, I've been there and seen it all. The story of the assassination (of Rajiv Gandhi) stayed with me. When Shoojit (director) offered Madras Cafe to me 7 years ago I said, 'Wow! Someone actually wants to do this. So let's do it” he added.

"Moving to see "Madras Cafe" on Rajiv Gandhi's birthday. Strong second half, fast-paced film. Outstanding direction & acting, especially by John Abraham” said Union Minister Shashi Tharoor.

Sircar, the director of the movie said: "This is not a biopic on Rajiv Gandhi this is not a story based on him. Yes, you can say that there is a similarity to that incident. There is a similarity in the facial structure (of the actor who plays the said role)." However, the director clarified, "We have taken that incident which we read in the paper. Rest, whatever is around it, has been fictionalised in the scripting. But somewhere you may find some historical references in the fictionalised bit too”.

Madras Café also stars Nargis Fakhri in the lead role as an International journalist. The film directed by Shoojit Sircar is released on Friday, August 23.

Remembering great visionary Rajiv Gandhi on his 69th birth anniversary

Rajiv Gandhi, former Prime Minister and a legendary Congress leader who is known as the creator of ‘modern India’, was one of the most visionary leaders of post-independence India. His insights and initiatives into liberalization of Indian economy, technological advancement and most importantly bringing the computer revolution in India, made him a futuristic leader of his times.  India went through a lot of changes under Rajiv Gandhi’s leadership.

Rajiv Gandhi’s personality and leadership brought in a high level of dynamism in India’s foreign relations. He also left his own personal mark on India’s foreign policy. Rajiv Gandhi was a humble and polite leader as well as an extremely ambitious and dynamic Prime Minister. His mature and effective leadership and initiative led India to become one of the leading markets in telecommunication and Information technology.

Rajiv Gandhi created a separate identity for himself and he also was successful in taking forward Indira Gandhi and Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru’s initiatives as well.  He scripted a new vision for the Non-Alignment Movement (NAM) - Nuclear disarmament.  He was a great believer of peace and this belief propelled him to propose the idea of disarmament.  He championed the cause of NAM, which he saw as a very important pedestal to facilitating peaceful relations between nations. He realized the futility of spending millions on arms and ammunition, and the wild pursuit of arms race, when a huge section of the population was starving.
Rajiv Gandhi played a vital role to improve the bilateral relationships with the United States of America and subsequently expanded the economic and scientific cooperation with it. A revived foreign policy, emphasizing on the economic liberalization and information and technology helped India to find a mark in the global map.

Under his tenure as the Prime Minister, India also took up the cause of fighting against apartheid in South Africa. India’s role is considered instrumental in establishing the South Africa Fund under the cause of Non-Alignment Movement and thus provided support for many South African countries in their struggle for independence through this fund. Rajiv Gandhi’s farsighted initiative also resulted into formation of G15 countries for promotion of the non-alignment movement further enhancing and encouraging South-South cooperation and facilitating a collective dialogue of the South countries with the industrialized nation-states.

Rajiv Gandhi was instrumental in modernizing the Indian armed forces. India developed missiles like Prithvi, Trishul, Agni, etc. during his leadership. The defense spending was one fifth of the total government expenditure. He helped India enhance her image and stature in world politics. India’s standing in the world had improved a great deal the only unresolved issue was that of SriLanka for which he lost his life.

Rajiv Gandhi government took vigorous measures to reform the government bureaucracy and liberalize the country's economy. He is credited with promoting the introduction of computers in India. The economic policies adopted by Rajiv Gandhi were different from his precursors. His government’s measures to reduce the "Red Tapism" were remarkable. In 1986, Rajiv Gandhi announced a "national education policy" to modernize and expand higher education programs across India. Rajiv Gandhi brought a revolution in the field of information technology and telecom. The idea helped in originating the Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited, popularly known as MTNL. He was the man to transcend telecom services to the rural India or "India in true sense". Rajiv Gandhi introduced India to modern science and technology, which he considered as the very essence of development. He said, 'Freedom and racism cannot co-exist. Science and poverty cannot co-exist.'

Rajiv Gandhi laid great emphasis on the green revolution which he looked upon as being extremely important for agricultural development. He spoke ardently about social justice. For him, equality among people was extremely important, because a society ridden with class and caste distinction was a hindrance to development.

Rajiv Gandhi was posthumously awarded the Highest National Award of India, Bharat Ratna 1991.

Rahul Gandhi: Self-confidence is the key to overcome poverty

Congress Vice President and Amethi MP Rahul Gandhi praised the role of self-help groups in advancement of marginalised section of society on Monday and also said they provide the poor with self-confidence to overcome poverty.

Rahul Gandhi expressed this opinion while participating in a discourse on 'Culture, Deepening Democracy and Most Marginalised Communities', organised here by noted social scientist Badri Narayan. "I understand the weaknesses of our system. I will try my best to help the people but unless and until the voice of the marginalised comes out from within, nothing can be done," Narayan quoted Gandhi as having said at the event which was organised at the GB Pant Social Science Institute on the outskirts of the city.

"Poverty is just a state of mind. It does not mean the scarcity of food, money or material things. If one possesses self-confidence, then one can overcome poverty," he said. Rahul Gandhi also cited the example of a poor woman in Amethi, who redeemed her self-esteem by getting associated with self-help group Rajiv Gandhi Mahila Vikas Pariyojana.

The Congress MP from Amethi, who was accompanied by the party's national general secretary Madhusudan Mistry, also interacted with people from remote villages of Allahabad and other neighbouring districts. "My one and only political aim is that I want to tune my ears to the voice of the poor and the marginalised", assured Rahul Gandhi.

Rahul Gandhi: Biggest cause of poverty in India is costly medical facilities

Allahabad: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi inaugurated a hospital here named after his great grandmother, Kamala Nehru, wife of the country's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, on Monday. The Congress MP from Amethi, said, "biggest cause of poverty in India is costly medical facilities which eat into a common man's savings leaving him penniless." Speaking at the inaugural function of 20-bed indoor hospital, which is the rural branch of Kamla Nehru Memorial Hospital on Monday, Rahul Gandhi also posed a question on the reasons behind poverty in India before proceeding to answer the same as per his own interpretation.

Rahul Gandhi also drew a comparison between the level of treatment which his relative Arun Nehru, who died few days back, received at a multi-speciality hospital in New Delhi which boasts of five star facilities charging astronomical sums running into several lakhs as room rent per day. The rooms are sparkling while the equipments used are state of art. However, a common man cannot even dream of availing such facilities.

Citing an example of a labourer whom he met few months back, he said, "the person in question, in an effort to bear the costly treatment of his family member, toiled hard for three months at a stretch and thereafter, utilised the savings to bear the costly treatment. This is pathetic and needs to be addressed on priority basis." Accepting that providing medical facilities to countryside folks is a herculean task, he said, "I am besieged by residents from my parliamentary constituency of Amethi with each having his own woes related to health, be it cancer, hole in the heart or any other similar ailment which demands treatment at a premier medical hospital."

Issuing a word of advice for doctors present at the venue, Rahul exhorted them to serve those living in villages and remote corners of the country and shun the comforts of big cities and fat pay package of big hospitals. Welcoming the chief guest, chief executive officer, Kamla Nehru Memorial hospital, Madhu Chandra said it is like homecoming for Rahul Gandhi who has always supported the hospital with best possible assistance." It was set up in 1987 at the initiative of the then prime minister, late Rajiv Gandhi at Newada Samogarh, Naini to provide free medical treatment to rural folks. The new 20-bed wing would run as an indoor facility. The hospital has also adopted five villages in the vicinity.

Senior physician, Dr Kavita Agarwal threw light on the activities of the hospital since last one year wherein it organised 27 camps in the rural areas and provided treatment to 1,819 patients. Later on, Rahul distributed mementoes to field workers and handed over medals to meritorious children of class 3 and 4 employees of the hospital.

The Kamla Nehru memorial medal for outstanding performance in the department of Gynaecology and Obstetrician at Motial Nehru Medical College was awarded to Dr Geetanjali Sharma. On this occasion, oath was also administered to newly inducted para-medical staff.
