And, I do same time ensure a reason- support my learn- 139 Calling Attention to [ RAJYA SABHA ] a matter oj urgent 140 public importance [Shri Surjit Singh Barnala] necessary to revise the sale prices of milk able return to the rural milk producers. The Scheme as follows w.e.f. 2nd May, 1978: — was intended to run on a "no profit no loss" basis. The initial capacity of the Central Dairy was 2.55 (1) Toney milk ................... Rs. 1.80 lakh litres of milk per day which has since been per litre. expanded to 3.75 lakh litres of liquid milk/ day and 0.60 lakh litres of milk/day for production of dairy (2) Double Toned milk Rs. 0.90 products. The capital investment in the scheme as on per litre. 31-3-1977 was Rs. 426.41 lakhs. Since its inception in 1959, the DMS has been running at a loss (except during 1969-70 and 1970- 71). The loss for the current year (1977-78) has been estimated to be Rs. £08.60 lakhs. The selling price of D.M.S. both toned milk and double toned milk has been revised from time to time. The last revision took place on 5-11-73 when the selling price of toned milk was fixed at Rs. 1.30 and double toned milk at Rs. 0.70 per litre. Since 1973, there have been increases in the raw materials such as milk, skimmed milk powder and butteroil. Indeed, the cost of raw materials alone accounts for about 81 per cent of the total cost of production. Additionally, there has been escalation in the prices of petroleum products since 1973 which has also contributed to substantial increases in the cost of processing and distribution of milk by the D.M.S. Due to upward revision of salaries and wages of employees, based on the Pay Com- mission's recommendations, there have been further increases in the cost of production. The sale price of toned milk in large cities of Baroda, Calcutta and Madras ranges from Rs. 1.80 to Rs-1.90 per- litre and double toned milk from Rs. 1.26 t0 Rs. 1.42 per litre. In order, therefore, to enable the Delhi Milk Scheme to run on a 'no profit no loss' basis, it has become 141 Calling Attention to [3 MAY 1978] a matter of urgent 142 public importance 143 Calling Attention to [ RAJYA SABHA ] a maUer oj urgent 144 public importance laints that the people in Delhi have about the Delhi Milk Service. He is also a very pleasant and capable-Minister and, therefore, one does not like to be very hard, specially when he is new. But I should like to point out to flfm that the Delhi Milk Scheme for the last so many years, has been distinguished by reeking— corruption, stinking inefficiency and scrupulous mismanagement and you want the people now to pay the price for this inexcusable corruption and mismanagement, because what you are really asking .the people is to pay the price for mismanagement and corruption there. Sir, the Janata Governr ment has proclaimed with great fanfare, and publicity that it wants to ensure the supply of basic needs cf the people, the essential commodities of life, at fair and reasonable prices, even if they have to be subsidized. But I am wondering how item after item is going up, the prices are being increased by the Government of one item after another and it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. Things do not seem to be what they are expected to be. You say one thing, but when we go out into the market and into actual life it is quite another thing. First you taxed the beedi of the common man. Then you hiked the electricity charges. Now you are coming down heavily on milk. Is it not a fact that for a poor family of four to five members it is going to be very hard? lifter all, whom is it going to hurt? Certainly, not me, not the other irllna's here, it is going to hurt the lo'west middle class and the poorer sections who are below that class even. A family with four or five children, or a family of four or five members will be spending at least Rs. 30 more on milk. In other words, what you are going to do is to make the milk out of reach of these people. And probably, other things like tea will also go for them because milk prices have gone up. I am quite sure that the price of tea will also go up. Now you have said that the Delhi Milk Scheme under- [Mr. Deputy Chairman in the Chair] DR. V. P.

    Barnala proves he has all along been a Congress stooge : Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa By : INVC Team Published On : 23 Mar, 2014 05:00 AM IST INVC, Chandigarh, The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today said former chief minister and SAD (Longowal) leader Surjit Singh Barnala had finally shown his true colours and proved that he was all along a Congress stooge who had bartered the interests of the 'panth' and the State for his own selfish family interests. In a statement here, SAD Secretary General Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa said Mr Barnala and his rag tag party the SAD (Longowal) had become irrelevant in Punjab and realising this Mr Barnala had decided to support the Congress in a foolhardy attempt to create a political future for his family. "However by doing so Mr Barnala has proved that his outfit was all along a B team of the Congress", the senior akali leader, who is contesting the Sangrur parliamentary seat as the SAD candidate, disclosed. He said it was despicable that Mr Barnala had arrived at a deal with the Congress as had been corroborated by Punjab Congress President Partap Singh Bajwa in a press conference today. The SAD leader said Mr Barnala would however have to answer several questions which the people of the State had already started asking. "People were already smelling a rate and doubting Mr Barnala's integrity considering the fact that he was unable to get any of the pro Punjab demands in the Rajiv - Longowal accord fulfilled. It is a fact that the pro Punjab demand for the transfer of Chandigarh to Punjab was never implemented even as Barnala presided over the digging up of the Sutluj Yamuna Link (SYL) canal which was to transfer Punjab waters to Haryana.

  • The 2007 Punjab Election: Exploring the Verdict
    267 Ashutosh Kumar: 2007 Election in Punjab The 2007 Punjab Election: Exploring the Verdict Ashutosh Kumar Panjab University, Chandigarh ________________________________________________________________ There has been a discernible disconnect between the political economy and the political processes in the recent Punjab, with the former hardly influencing the latter in terms of public policies. Substantive economic issues like the structural crisis in the agrarian sector hardly find space in the political discourse of the state. It is reminiscent of the earlier failure of the political class in negotiating the demand for autonomy resulting in the emergence of militancy. The closed nature of the state politics in terms of caste/community/gender hardly helps. The electoral outcome in the 2007 assembly elections should not be construed as a positive vote in favour of the SAD-BJP alliance but rather an indictment of non-performance compounded by the internal bickering within the Congress Party. In the absence of credible alternatives, the electorate in Punjab has repeatedly been forced to go for what they possibly begin to perceive as a lesser evil with the passage of time. ________________________________________________________________ The 2007 assembly elections in Punjab witnessed one of the most closely fought electoral battles between the two traditional rivals namely the Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). The intensity was reflected in the nature of electoral participation among 1.69 crore eligible voters, which at 76 per cent turn out was exceptionally high even by previous Punjab standard.1 The volatility of the electoral process in Punjab can be attributed to the interplay of several determinants of its electoral politics as the state in social terms has been a mosaic of religious, ethnic, linguistic, and caste groups (Kumar, 2004b: 5441).

  • Militancy and Counter-Militancy Operations: Changing Patterns and Dynamics of Violence in Punjab, 1978 to 1993
    65 Satnam Singh Deol: Militancy in Punjab Militancy and Counter-Militancy Operations: Changing Patterns and Dynamics of Violence in Punjab, 1978 to 1993 Satnam Singh Deol Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar _______________________________________________________________ How did the patterns of violence committed by Sikh militants and the state security forces change during different phases of the insurgency from 1978 to 1993 and, most importantly, what explains the difference in these patterns? This study attempts to answer these questions. It argues that this variation in the patterns and dynamics of violence can be explained by changing socio-political circumstances and compulsions during this period. The violence committed by the militants intensified until this violence was eventually delegitimized by the common Sikh masses due to changing dynamics within the militant movement and the nature of its violence. Simultaneously, the violence committed by the state overpowered the militancy only after it was firmly backed by the political regimes in power, including providing de facto legal impunity to the police and security forces for a brutal and controversial counterinsurgency campaign. Thus, this article disaggregates the various phases of violence committed by both the militants and the state from 1978 to 1993, and examines the interrelationship between the forms of violence committed by both sides in the conflict. Important observations emerging from this empirical study are offered in the concluding section. ________________________________________________________________ Introduction and Historical Background The Sikhs, even after being defeated by the British and losing their political control in the north-western region, maintained a unique religious, ethnical and political legacy, which was separate from Hindus in various domains (Singh, 1963; Dhillon, 2006).

  • 2012 Assembly Elections in Punjab: Ascendance of a State Level Party
    255 Ashutosh Kumar: Punjab Assembly Elections 2012 Assembly Elections in Punjab: Ascendance of a State Level Party Ashutosh Kumar Punjab University, Chandigarh _______________________________________________________________ The 2012 Assembly Elections in Punjab received attention for being the first elections in post-1966 reorganised Punjab to witness return to power of an incumbent party regime. The elections also saw the emergence of a new set of political leadership, most notably the rise of Sukhbir Badal, the SAD President who led the campaign and crafted the Akali victory. The rise and fall of Manpreet Badal, the founder President of Punjab Peoples Party in the role of the ‘challenger’ was another notable feature. The social and spatial patterns of electoral outcome, as revealed in the CSDS post-poll survey data, showed that the consistent efforts of the Akali Dal to broaden its support base while retaining its core social constituency in order to shed/lessen its dependency over the BJP has started bearing fruits. The Congress suffered an unexpected defeat primarily due to its leadership failure. ____________________________________________________________ Rise of State Level Parties The newly acquired significance of states as the platforms where electoral politics unfold in varying forms in recent India can be attributed to the fact that political articulation and mobilization of the people for electoral purposes increasingly swerve around identities formed or invented along ethno-regional lines. As the ethnic categories are mostly confined to a particular region or regions of a state, so any form of mobilisation or assertion in the shape of collective claims making takes place invariably at regional level, giving primacy to ‘region’ over the ‘nation.’1 The political parties strive first to gain and consolidate a ‘core constituency’ in the form of the support of a single numerically and economically significant caste/ community or alternatively a cluster of castes/communities at state/regional level before they go to broaden their support base.
