    COVER STORY JULY 2021 CENTRAL ORGAN OF CPI(ML) Rs. 25 COVER STORY An Engineered and Manufactured ‘Vaccination Record’ On the evening of 21st June, the airwaves were abuzz and the Modi government’s pet anchors were hyperventilating on prime-time television over the ‘record free vaccinations’ of 86 lakhs that were administered on that particular day. Ministers in the Modi Govt lost no time in announcing the record on their social media handles, attributing the numbers to the first day of the Centre taking back charge of Covid vaccinations from the state governments. As night fell and dawn broke, the layers around the propaganda of ‘record free vaccinations’ started to peel off. To begin with the ‘record’ itself was hardly a record. In 1997, 12.7 crore (1270 lakhs) children were given polio vaccine doses in a single day and in 1998, 13.4 crore (1340 lakhs) in a single day. The polio vaccine is an oral one and the covid vaccine has to be administered through an injection, so both are not perfectly comparable, but there is still no doubt that the polio vaccinations on such a huge scale were a challenging achievement recognised around the world. For the Modi Govt to spin 86 lakh Covid vaccines in one day as “unprecedented” was dishonest and purely a PR stunt. As data has emerged it has become clear that this ‘record’ was not ‘natural’ but was engineered and manufactured by the BJP to suit their propaganda. BJP ruled states purposely went slow on vaccinations leading up to 21st June, hoarding up vaccinations so they could show a surge of vaccinations on the 21st.

  • Association for Democratic Reforms Ahmedabad , India
    GUJARAT ELECTION WATCH (2002) CANDIDATES WITH CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CONTESTING THE 2002 ASSEMBLY ELECTIONS IN GUJARAT 5 December 2002 • Gujarat Election Watch Committee • Association for Democratic Reforms Ahmedabad , India Gujarat Election Watch Committee Press Note on Criminals Contesting Elections December 5, 2002 Law breakers are now law makers. Nearly 140 candidates contesting the Assembly Elections have a criminal record. This is a very large number considering the fact that there are a total of 182 assembly constituencies. Over 60 are from the two major political parties, and the remaining from other parties and Independents. About 100 candidates themselves admit that they face criminal charges in various courts. They were forced to admit this after a Supreme Court judgement on May 2, 2002 in response to a public interest litigation filed by Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), Ahmedabad and a new Ordinance on Electoral Reforms issued in August this year. Consider the two major parties alone. The list includes at least 5 Ministers and several sitting MLAs. At least 9 have murder cases against them under IPC Section 302, 12 have attempt to murder cases under IPC Section 307, 18 have cases for threatening to kill, 3 for rape and kidnap, 26 for other violent crimes, like dacoity, assault, rioting, arson and jail break, and 10 of financial fraud. Most have more than one case against them, and many are habitual offenders with over 10 cases against them. If we add the criminals candidates contesting as independents or from other minor parties, the situation is even more alarming. The law does not prevent them from standing for elections because they are not yet convicted.

  • INC's Performance in Gujarat's Reserved Constituencies Should Be
    INC’s performance in Gujarat’s reserved constituencies should be a lesson for future planning --Shambhu Ghatak1 It was a Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar moment for the Indian National Congress (INC) in the reserved Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) constituencies of Gujarat during the recent polls. A preliminary analysis of assembly election results pertaining to the reserved constituencies of the state shows that INC has outperformed the Bharatiya Janata Pary (BJP) on various aspects but BJP’s rising power in the ST constituencies cannot be undermined. It should be said at the outset that in a 182 seat contests, out of 77 seats that the INC secured in the 2017 assembly election of Gujarat, 15 came from the ST reserved constituencies and 5 came from the SC reserved constituencies. It means that roughly one-fourth (26 percent) of total INC seats (77 in nos.) were won from the reserved constituencies, thus, indicating why those constituencies mattered the most for the party. Similarly, out of 99 seats that the BJP won during the assembly poll, 9 were from the ST reserved constituencies and 7 were won from the SC reserved constituencies. It shows that roughly 16.2 of total BJP seats (99 in nos.) were won from the reserved constituencies, which is lower than that of INC. In the 2012 assembly election, 31.1 percent of total INC seats (61 in nos.) and 17.4 percent of total BJP seats (115 in nos.) were won from the reserved constituencies.

  • Chapter 5 Chapter 5
    Chapter 5 AdivasiAdivasissss strustruggleggle to survivsurvivee where inequality rules he 104.2 million Adivasi in our country constitute 8.6% of our total Tpopulation. Nearly 20% of India’s land mass is Adivasi’s predominant area. Adivasis in India can be broadly classified into three groupings. The first consists of populations who predate the Indo-Aryan migrations, and are termed by many anthropologists as the Austro-Asiatic-speaking Australoid people. The Central Indian adivasis belong to this grouping 1. The other two groupings are the Caucasoid and Sino-Tibetan or Mongoloid tribal people of the Himalayan and North Eastern regions who migrated in later periods. Article 366 (25) of the Constitution defines ‘Scheduled Tribes, as “such tribes or tribal communities or part of or groups within such tribes or tribal communities as are deemed under Article 342 to the Scheduled Tribes for the purposes of this Constitution”. The criteria used for classification being geographical isolation, backwardness and having distinctive culture, language, religion and “shyness of contact”. Adivasis are found in the greatest numbers in Madhya Pradesh (12.23 million, or 20.3% of the state’s population), Maharashtra (8.58 million or 8.9%), Odisha (8.15 million or 22.1%), Jharkhand (7.1 million or 26.35%), Chhattisgarh (6.16 million or 31.8%), Andhra Pradesh including Telangana (5.02 million or 6.6%), and West Bengal (4.4 million or 5.5%). By proportion, however, the populations of states in the North East have the greatest concentrations of Adivasis. Thirty one per cent of the population of Tripura, 34% of Manipur, 64% of Arunachal Pradesh, 86% of Meghalaya, 88% of Nagaland, and 95% of Mizoram are scheduled tribes.
