  • Parivartan Yatra" in Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh) Saturday, 05 November 2016
    Salient Points of Speech by BJP National President, Shri Amit Shah Flagging Off "Parivartan Yatra" in Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh) Saturday, 05 November 2016 Salient Points of the Speech of BJP National President Shri Amit Shah during Parivartan Yatra, Saharanpur In 2014, western Uttar Pradesh had laid the foundation of BJP’s spectacular victory in Lok Sabha elections. This time too, we are kick starting our campaign from western UP. The Parivartan Yatra, which will travel through the state and conclude on December 24, will lay the foundation for BJP’s two third majority in ensuing assembly elections. In 2014, the large hearted voters of Uttar Pradesh gave BJP 73 of 80 Lok Sabha seats that enabled us to form a full majority government at the centre. The approaching assembly elections of UP are crucial for the state’s future. In the last 15 years, it was either SP or BSP that formed the government and as a result, development in the state has completely stopped. If one wants to see development, he should visit villages in BJP ruled states. Each village has 24 hour power, ambulance reaches within 8 minutes, youth doesn’t have to migrate in search of jobs, and there is water in farmlands. Uttar Pradesh has become a laggard on the development index and those responsible for progress of the state are fighting among themselves. Uncle (Shivpal Yadav) is abusing his nephew (Akhilesh Yadav) and vice versa while aunt (Mayawati) is abusing both. None of them are bothered about development. Neither SP or BSP can bring development in the state.

  • Mau Violence
    An Exclusive Citizens Report MAU RIOTS: A REPORT Introduction: There is a lot of confusion in the media and at socio-political levels about the communal tension and widespread violence that began in Mau on October 13-14, 2005. Consequently, “Saajhi Duniya” considered it necessary to visit Mau and acquaint itself with the real situation. The first team from Saajhi Duniya visited Mau on October 20, when the city was under total curfew. Again on October 30 and 31, representatives of Saajhi Duniya went to Mau. This team comprised Prof. Roop Rekha Verma (social activist and secretary, Saajhi Duniya), Mr Vibhuti Narain Rai (president, Saajhi Duniya, litterateur and activist on issues related to communalism) and Mr Nasiruddin Haider Khan (journalist). Mr Jai Parkash Dhumketu (litterateur and activist) from Mau also joined the group. This team not only visited the riot-affected areas in Mau but also inquired into the causes of the violence. The team spoke to victims of the violence, social and political workers, the general public and officers of the district administration. The following report is the outcome of our efforts, over three days, to understand the recent riots in Mau. Mau (also called Maunath Bhanjan) has always been a communally sensitive district. Previously a part of Azamgarh, Maunath Bhanjan witnessed periodic bouts of communal violence every few years. The population of Mau is 18,53,997 with an urban population of 3,60,369 and a rural population of 14,93,628. Within this population, around 80.5 per cent are Hindus, out of which 90 per cent of the population is rural and approximately 10 per cent is urban.
