    [25 th August, 2005] RAJYA SABHA The Marriages (Compulsory Registration and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, 2005. SHRIMATI PREMA CARIAPPA (Karnataka): Sir, I move for leave to introduce a Bill to provide for the compulsory registration of all the marriages solemnized in the country so as to prevent child marriages, frauds committed under the garb of marriages and for compulsory oath on affidavit by non- resident Indian grooms that they are not already married before getting married in India and for matters connected therewith and incidental thereto. The question was put and the motion was adopted. SHRIMATI PREMA CARIAPPA: Sir, I introduce the Bill. The Salary, Allowances and Pension of Members of Parliament (Amendment) Bill, 2004 - Contd. MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Now, we shall take up further discussion on the Salary, Allowances and Pension of Members of Parliament (Amendment) Bill, 2004. Shri Janardhana Poojary to continue his speech. SHRI JANARDHANA POOJARY (Karnataka): Sir, while continuing my speech, I would say that there is a view in the House, not of all the Members, but of some of the Members, that we should not discuss the issue of salary, allowances and also other facilities that are being given to the hon. Members of Parliament. My definite view is that it should be discussed in the House. The perception is that the Members of Parliament are robbing the Exchequer; they are over-paid; and their facilities are incomparable. ...(Interruptions)... Last time, I had mentioned about the salaries that are paid to the hon. Members of Parliament in foreign countries and the facilities that are being enjoyed by them.

  • NCP and Irrigation Scam Politics
    Press Statement July 25, 2012 NCP’s increasingly clearer Dam Scam Links: Were the NCP’s links with Big dam lobby in Maharashtra ever more obvious? Even as the ongoing episode of conflict between NCP (National Congress Party) and Congress gets more intense, the reasons NCP’s unhappiness seem to lie somewhere closer to home: in Maharashtra. NCP leaders have in recent past identified so closely with the big dam lobby that this link with the dam lobby had never been more obvious. They have promptly taken on whoever has been critical of performance of large dams in the state, be it the Chief Minister, the Governor, the media or the civil society.1 This note highlights these aspects, but this does not mean that other political parties in Maharashtra are without blame. If Congress and the opposition parties had taken effective action earlier, things would not have come to this pass, but during the past ten years when corruption and inefficiency in water resources sector in Maharashtra was blatant, none of the political parties systematically followed up the issue. The NCP seems especially miffed with Chief Minister Prithiviraj Chavan, who has been asking for a white paper on the Irrigation Projects and Governor K. Shankaranarayanan who, in his speech in March chided the govt. for performing dismally on irrigation and asked for probe into Kondhane Dam. He also directed that no new irrigation projects should be taken up in Western Maharashtra, considering the irrigation backlog of other regions. The Water Resource Ministry in Maharashtra’s NCP-Congress coalition government has been with the NCP since its inception in 1999 to 2012 (till date).

  • Maratha Reservation
    THE MARATHA RESERVATION ISSUE SYBA- SOCIOLOGY PAPER II Marathas, who have historically dominated politics, are feeling threatened in the new economic order, where education and jobs matter more than farm incomes. What explains this intermittent flare-up among the Marathas in Maharashtra? The short answer is growing socio-economic insecurity within the state’s dominant caste group. Marathas have a large share in the state’s population, they own large tracts of land and have enjoyed dominance in the realm of politics. But this traditional dominance is being threatened in the new economic order where educations and jobs matter more than farm incomes.
