QUOTE OF THE

DAYPeople of Bihar like Nitish Kumar but not his politicsThirty five-year-old Shankar Prasad Shah, a shop-keeper in Bihar’s Munger district, believes that his state has never had a more able administrator than Nitish Kumar; in fact, Shah would ideally like him to serve another term as chief minister. Yet he will vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the up-coming Bihar assembly polls, which kicks off with the first phase on Monday. The reason: caste pol-itics. “I am a baniya (caste) and if Lalu comes to power he will never protect me. So I have to vote for Modi to keep myself safe from the Yadavs,” said Shah, who lives in an area dominated by Yadavs. The dilemma faced by Shah captures the count-er-intuitive politics playing out in this year’s elec-tion. People of Bihar, as a survey by the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), a Delhi based think-tank, showed, like Kumar but dislike his politics. It is exactly this contradiction that the BJP, once again led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is looking to exploit to rewrite the history of Bihar politics—by installing a BJP-led coalition for the first time ever. Though only an election for the state assembly, the results will reverberate be-yond its borders—it has consequences both for the incumbent, three-term chief minister Kumar of the Janata Dal (United), or JD(U), and the challeng-er, a BJP led by Modi. Victory for Kumar would mean vindication of his ability to overcome com-plex electoral challenges through the use of tactical alliances (this time with former political foe, Lalu Prasad of the Rashtriya Janata Dal ,or RJD), while defeat may see him consigned to the political wil-derness. Similarly, a win for the BJP alliance would reaffirm Modi’s grip on national politics, help the party overcome its humiliation earlier this year at the hands of the Aam Aadmi Party in the Delhi as-sembly polls and help the BJP-led National Dem-ocratic Alliance wrest the political initiative away from the opposition inspired by a feisty Congress. In the first phase, 49 constituencies spread across 10 districts including Bhagalpur, Munger, Begusa-rai and Jamui, will go to the polls. Of these, in the existing assembly, 13 MLAs belong to the BJP, 29 to the JDU and four to the RJD. Interviews with a cross-section of voters in this region reveal that aspirations, like in the last general election, are a key factor influencing voter choice; that is, over and above the traditional divisions along caste and religious lines.

In a major relief to British telecom major Voda-fone in the transfer pricing case, the Bombay High Court on Thursday ruled in its favour, setting aside a tax demand of Rs. 3,700 crore imposed on Voda-fone India by the income tax authorities. This is likely to benefit multinational companies such as IBM, Royal Dutch Shell and Nokia that face sim-ilar tax demands. The case dates back to financial year 2007-8 involving the sale of Vodafone India Services Private Ltd., the call centre business of Vodafone, to Hutchison, and the tax authorities demanded capital gain tax for this transaction. The Income Tax department had demanded that Rs.8,500 crore be added to the company’s taxable income. Transfer pricing is referred to the setting of the price for goods and services sold between related legal entities within an enterprise. This is to ensure fair pricing of the asset transferred. For example, if a subsidiary company sells goods to a parent company, the cost of those goods is the transfer price.

Two Indian states are suffering the first major pest infestation since the country adopted genetical-ly modified cotton in 2002, raising concerns over the vulnerability of the lab-grown seeds that yield nearly all of the cotton in the world’s top produc-er. Damage from the whitefly attack on the Bt cot-ton variety in Punjab and Haryana is likely to be extensive and has even been blamed for farmer suicides, according to local officials and experts. India’s overall crop losses are expected to be light, because the states are not major producing centres, but the pest attack is inflaming debate over the us-age of GM crops. Bt cotton was tweaked by scien-tists at Monsanto to produce its own insecticide to kill pests like bollworms. But two years of drought have encouraged the spread of whitefly against which the strain has no resistance. The winged pest damages the leaves of the cotton plant by sucking out fluid.

The Electricity Act pro-vides for appointment of a sitting or retired HC judge in the commission.

“Human beings are blessed with enormous “self-power” which em-anates from within. This “hidden Shakti or Pow-er” comes to their rescue whenever they face crises or challenges in Life,” said G Narayana, chair-man emeritus of Excel In-dustries Limited while ad-dressing the fourth-day of AMA Week celebrations. Describing the Shakti as “Kundalini” power which is the rising of conscious energy, Narayana said that an internal power is pres-ent in all living beings, organisms, organizations including corporations of business and industry. “Human beings have all the equipment, resources and powers to get start-ed, move, mobilize and achieve apparently im-possible missions,” said Narayana. While citing an example Narayana said, “In corporates, the Shak-ti is distributed at differ-

ent levels for creating the network of resources for inspiration, insights, in-telligence and intensity. An organization which is awakened and vibrating will be a self-motivated and motivating entity, ca-pable of creating a culture for attaining outstanding results.” He added , “An enterprise’s ‘mooladhara’ is the work force which is pivotal to value addi-tion and progress while its board of directors is the source of inspiration that imbibes a supreme ener-gy for changing the entire organization.” Elaborating on powers within, Naraya-na said the powers are fire in the belly, warmth in the heart and spark in the head. Fire in the belly is the power to work, per-form, contribute and excel while warm in the heart helped to “contact, team up and relate. Spark in the head represented “idea, in-novation, knowledge and wisdom.”

to scanty rainfall in these five talukas, Moj and Venu do not have much water and therefore drink-ing water will be supplied from Bhadar-II. Saurash-tra region faces drinking water shortage almost each summer and water pumped from Narmada cananls becomes the only lifeline for many parts of the region. “With this ca-

pacity augmentation, 579 villages of Rajkot district will be covered with Nar-mada water supply grid and additional 20 million liters per day (MLD) wa-ter will be available to Junagadh also.

were not interested in be-coming a part of JUDA and hence, the state gov-ernment should not go ahead with merging their villages in the urban de-velopment authority. The memorandum said that the land in the villages in question was all fer-

tile and the farmers were interested in continu-ing with the agricultur-al activities and did not want to sell their land at all. KHRS represen-tative Atul Shekhda said that the existing popu-lation of Junagadh town was merely 3.5 lakh and

hence the expansion of the town at such a large scale was not required at all. Shekhda alleged that “the intention behind in-corporating 42 villages in the urban body was to grab farmers’ land to allot them at low prices to local politicians and their relatives for setting up industries, education-al institutions, hospitals and other enterprises for commercial purposes”. He said that the real pur-pose of the bid to expand JUDA limits could be understood in the light of the recent amendments in the state land acquisition law that allowed JUDA to transfer its land to cor-porates and industries.

of scheme announced by the state government that offers an equal op-portunity to all students and removes the financial burden of education from the parents. With the fa-cility of school uniform and books, we would try to convince parents to enroll their wards to civic school and also the fact that they should con-tinue sending their wards beyond VI and Class IX where the drop out rate is on a higher side,” said Jagdish Bhavsar. The mu-

nicipal school principals have been asked to use a four-page booklet brought out and distributed by the education department on Wednesday that car-ries pictures of both the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Anandiben Patel on the cover along with her mes-sage — “Numerous new opportunities provided to link youth power with the power of development”.

The petitioner contended that due to the absence of a judicial member, the credibility of the com-mission’s decisions has always been in question. The petitioner alleged that due to absence of a judicial member and in-complete panel, GERC many a times outsource the work of writing orders to law firms. This is unac-ceptable, argued petition-er’s counsel Anand Yag-

The company has request-ed change of rates in its power supply agreement with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. It wants to increase the rates citing increase in import of coal duty to amendment in laws in Indonesia.

BJP-Shiv Sena Ghulam Ali stand-off: Why differences between them may increase

Agency | Mumbai

The Shiv Sena’s decision to revive its anti-Pakistan and pro-Marathi plank ahead of the local bodies elections in Maharashtra is to reaffirm its identity as the major regional party. Secondly, the Shiv Sena, worried by the applause Prime Minister Narendra Modi received abroad, wants to occupy centre stage by whipping up a “hard Hindutva” agenda. In the last one year there have been a dozen criti-cal emotive issues where both parties took their battle to streets. The Se-na’s decision to oppose the meat ban in Mumbai during the “paryushan” Jain festival, was to con-solidate the support of 26 per cent Maharashtri-ans who constitute their traditional vote bank in Mumbai. The anti-Modi bashing by the Sena is to polarise the Marathi ver-sus Gujarati divide which has its roots in the cre-

ation of Maharashtra and Gujarat in 1960. On the Ghulam Ali concert, the saffron coalition was ver-tically divided. While the BJP supported the con-cert, the Sena enforced the ban. The Shiv Sena’s de-cision to ban the Ghulam Ali concert was a calculat-ed move to send a strong signal to its anti-Pakistan constituents not only in Maharashtra but across India. The Shiv Sena Pres-ident Uddhav Thackeray is trying to project the par-ty as the real custodian of “hard Hindutva” when it comes to taking Pakistan head-on. The BJP and the Shiv Sena are inter-de-pendent when it comes to

running the coalition gov-ernment in Maharashtra. The support of the Shiv Sena MLAs (63) is critical for the BJP (122 MLAs) to retain the Devendra Fadnavis government in Maharashtra. Therefore, there is no ambiguity about the BJP-Sena coa-lition when it comes to the government. After the electoral success in the Lok Sabha and assembly elections, the BJP sees a golden opportunity to check the Sena in Mum-bai– the power centre of the Thackerays. The BJP has trained its guns on the Sena’s mismanagement during 17 years rule in BMC.
