Massive protest of vidarbha cotton farmers on republic day against Maharashtra Govt.’s cotton procurement policy
Massive protest of vidarbha cotton farmers on republic day against
When nationa was celebrating it’s 59th republic day thousands of vidarbha farmers were protesting against the Maharashtra Govt.’s policy decision to procure the cotton below minimum support price (MSP) that’s Bt.cotton is being procured at the average price Rs.2650 per quintal as against the MSP is Rs.3000/- per quintal. The cotton farmer of vidarbha region known for maximum numbers farm suicides in India are agitating to get legitimate rates to their cotton crop but the state owned agency marketing federation has been using police force to run procurement centers to curb farmers unrest against this unjust earlier all most all cotton procurement centers in the state were closed leaving the farmers saddled with harvested crop waiting to sell the produce and it has resulted in to distress sale of cotton at the much cheaper rates to private traders than MSP and it has made purpose of giving higher MSP of Rs.3000/- per quintal as ridiculous as it failed to benefit vidarbha dying cotton farmer according to the Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti (VJAS).
‘there is no buyer to cotton other than Govt. agency and state is not only giving much less rate than MSP but farmers dues are unpaid since 15th of December as National Agricultural Marketing Federation (Nafed), has exhausted its funds earmarked for purchases this year."Farmers are in dire straits as private traders are also not coming forward to purchase because of severe recession in international market leading to big fall in cotton rates.at the start of the season, federation had promised to procure every single boll of cotton offered for purchase. It had also fixed 200 lakh quintals as target for collection. But after collecting less than 80 lakh quintal it has given up. Because Nafed, on whose behalf it is purchasing this year, is cash strapped and reports have appeared in media stating that Nafed has exhausted its allocated funds," VJAS president Kishore Tiwari informed the gathering today.
said Tiwari.
"Obviously, the federation has failed to keep its word and is misleading people saying that due poor quality of cotton they are giving less price than MSP" Tiwari alleged.
In order to draw the Govt.'s attention to the serious problem of Vidarbha's distressed farmers in cotton belt and seek more funds for Nafed so that procurement is done at MSP to good quality cotton as per guidelines of CACP and federation to pay all dues of farmers ,we are observing protest day informed Mohan Mammidwar loacal activist..
"The farmer who soled cotton 50 days ago to the federation is receiving payment now. This is again a failure on the federation part which had promised to clear dues within a week," mammidwar said.
Cotton farmers urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan who has promised to respond to cotton growers crisis to attend the problems of west vidarbha cotton farmers who are till committing suicides daily and apathy of administration is adding fuel on going distress among the dying farmer, Tiwari informed.

Ref:NEXUS BETWEEN POLITICIANS-SATYAM'S RAJU & MIHAN-MADC'S VICE-CHAIRMAN & MANAGING DIRECTOR MR. R.C. SINHA, WHO WAS CHIEF OF SATYAM'S-MAYTAS COMPANY TOO NEED TO BE PROBED !
Respected Hon'ble Sirs,
You are well aware that, since last couple of years our organization–
Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti, is raising the issue of plight of poor farmers who are in extreme distress & suffering the heat of failure of Govt. policies of Liberalization / Globalization / Free Economy, which has resulted in complete collapse of Indian Rural Economy and perhaps Vidarbha Region has been branded as Epicenter of farmers suicides and is till witnessing a live lesson to learn.
From the days Your Honour occupied the Office of Prime Minister of India, we have been keeping you informed about the plight of farmers & agrarian community in Vidarbha and their distressed conditions. We have also kept Your Honour posted regularly with the facts & figures of the ruining Indian Rural Economy in the backdrop of Government Policies promoting Liberalization / Globalization / Free Economy and so called Development & Global Vision. We always prayed for your humble intervention in the interest of justice to the Project Affected Peoples-Farmers & Rural India.
Hon'ble PM Sir, with this representation, we invite your kind attention towards most serious issue of corruption & misuse of power by the high profile persons in the name of development & infrastructure building through the project like MADC's MIHAN which is being projected as so called "Global & Vision Project" of Vidarbha, an epicenter of Farmers Suicides in which thousands of farmers have killed themselves. Host of the Project Affected Persons (PAP) and Farmers have lost their lives. The information received from the inside sources is alarming and quite shocking. We want to share it with you and demand detailed CBI enquiry into the affairs of MADC's MIHAN Project and corruption-misuse of power-favoritism which caused loss of revenue to the tune of crores of rupees of the public exchequer.
Details are as under :-
i) Government of Maharashtra under the Chairmanship of Chief Minister of the State has formed a company named "Maharashtra Airport Development Authority Ltd." (MADC) under the provisions of Companies Act, 1956 in which many Government / Public Undertakings have been forced to contribute as share capital. Ex-Bureaucrat-Mr. R.C. Sinha, Retd I.A.S. was made Vice-Chairman & Managing Director of MADC with many top ranking IAS Officials were named as Directors on BOD of MADC Ltd., which started implementing big project in the name of MIHAN Near Nagpur and started projecting the said project as "Global & Vision Project" of Vidarbha.
ii) Under the disguise of Global Infrastructure Development in Vidarbha so called Vision Project-MIHAN-SEZ-HEALTH CITY-LOGISTIC TERMINAL- TOWNSHIP, ETC. were proposed by MADC Ltd.. Hundreds of Hectors of cultivatable agricultural land of poor farmers was put to an acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act. Even though, land acquisition award pertaining to entire land is yet to be passed, MADC Ltd, VC & MD Mr. Sinha started allotment & sale of prime land to the Multinational Corporates in a mysterious & hurried manner, even in pre-primary stage of the project.
iii) The Corporate-Multinational Beneficiary of such land allotment are as under :-
Satyam – 30 Hectors,
HCL – 140 Hectors,
Wipro – 117 Hectors,
Vipul & Karamchand – 50 Hectors,
Reatox – 60 Hectors,
HCL – 31 Hectors,
SICOL Logistics Gupta Coal – 80 Hectors,
Ambuja Realities – 55 Hectors,
Kolland – 100 Hectors,
L&T Infotex – 50 Hectors,
TCS – 54 Hectors,
Ascend – 60 Hectors,
DFL – 140 Hectors,
Boing – 45 Hectors,
Health City – 40 Hectors,
MRO – 72 Hectors,
Residential First City Project of REATOX Ltd., a company of BJP Leader, – 360 Hectors,
iv) The bare perusal of the beneficiary reveal that the allotment has been done to the favoured without even completion of acquisition & ownership was reserved illegally without following due process of law. The irregularity were committed while allotting SEZ Land to the residential project of First City of Reatox Company, which was later disallowed by SEZ Board of Ministry of Commerce, Government of India, but the prime land was sold to many parties illegally and unauthorisedly. Even Bank Loan to the tune of crores of ruppes were raised by such companies under the disguise of ownership of land allotment by MADC. On the contrary, MADC was still to become lawful owner of the land at the time of such allotment made to the beneficiary company. This all has completed in a gross irregular manner contrary to the provisions of the MADC aims and objectives and the Rules governing disposal of land by the Government controlled companies in which Chief Minister is involved as a Chairman of MADC Ltd..
v) It is also matter of great surprise that most of the IT Companies in MIHAN Project have got huge chunk of land disproportionate to their requirement for IT Projects which generally requires very small land of 10 to 20 Acres, whereas in MIHAN Project, the beneficiaries have got several hectors of land in few bucks, thanks to the element of corruption, favouritism, misuse of power and position by the Big Wigs in MADC Ltd. and the Politicians who all are helping the project in turn getting benefits from Corporates at the cost of poor farmers who lost their valuable lands and means to live respectful lives. The entire process of huge allotment of land on throw away prices to the Big Corporates is a matter of great concern. It is quite strange that MADC sold the pieces of huge chunk of land to Corporates in the primary stage itself, without even recovering any development cost of the project including basic cost of land. If we calculate the cost of acquisition of land, development, cost of infrastructure, environment and other overheads, even lay man can analyse how costing / pricing has been ignored by MADC Authorities while making allotment of land to such Corporates, in which Government Funds and Revenue has been lost. This all needs to be thoroughly probed in a sequential & transparent manner to punish the culprits behind the racket.
vi) It is shocking to note that Sometime in 2007, MADC Vice-Chairman & MD Mr. R.C. Sinha managed to become Chairman of Maytas Company, which was promoted by one Mr. Raju, Satyam Managing Director's son. Interesting Satyam is the beneficiary of the land allotment at MADC's MIHAN Project. After becoming Chief of BOD of Maytas Company, started playing game of misuse of powers & position. On one hand Mr. Sinha was providing benefits of MADC's MIHAN Project to Corporates and on the other hand said Corporates were mysteriously giving contracts including EPC Contracts to Maytas company, for the obvious reasons.
vii) The misuse of powers and the positions at the hands of Mr. R.C. Sinha is quite interesting. For e.g. SICOL Logistics-Gupta Coal got contract for MADC's Rail & Logistic Terminal, on the other hand Maytas company got EPC Contract worth Rs. 450 Crores from Guptas. There are several examples like this. Mr. Sinha become Director on the Board of Ambuja & Indu Projects, the direct & indirect beneficiaries of MIHAN Project of MADC Ltd..
viii) Family Members, Relatives, Politicians blessed by VC & MD of MADC Ltd are the direct & indirect beneficiaries of the Corporates to whom MADC favoured at MIHAN Project either in allotment of land or otherwise. If you examine the share holders list and other business interest of these Corporates, the family members, relatives, closed friends and politicians blessed by VC & MD of MADC Ltd., you will come to know the truth.
ix) The assets & properties built by the relatives, family members, closed friends and politicians blessed by VC & MD of MADC Ltd. either in India or overseas specially in United States and Switzerland including Bank accounts in Swiss Bank will speak about amazing wealth acquired disproportionate to the known source of income directly in contravention of the provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act & other penal / criminal provisions of the Laws of the Land including violation of the provisions of Companies Act, 1956, FEMA Act and Income Tax-Wealth Tax Act.
x) In such a way, Vice-Chairman & MD of MADC Mr. R.C. Sinha helped many corporates like Maytas company in which he was Chairman, Ambuja & others in which he or his family members, relatives, close friends were directly or indirectly involved. The misuse of position and power to give benefit and pecuniary advantages to the company in which he has direct personal interest is nothing but a matter of open corruption. The revenue loss caused to the public fund due to favouratism is a great matter of national concern.
xi) The entire affairs at MADC Limited vis-à-vis advantages gained by Maytas and other beneficiary companies directly or indirectly with the influence, misuse of power & position by the person directly involved in both the entities give signals of open corruption which needs to be thoroughly probed and punished under the provisions of Laws of the Land, so that common man could not loose faith & belief in Rule of Law.
xii) Now, the root question raised in our mind that WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DIRECT LOSS OF REVENUE TO THE TUNE OF CRORES OF RUPEES GOVERNMENT / PUBLIC FUNDS ? ARE THESE NOT SERIOUS CASES OF CORRUPTION & MISUSE OF POWERS BY HIGH PROFILE PERSONS LIKE SINHA ? These vital questions need to be answered by the independent enquiry
xiii) It is highly regretted that lacs of small investors are being cheated in Nagpur under the disguise of investment in land in the name of MIHAN Project benefits. The Political Leaders taken on Rent by the Big Wigs of MIHAN who all are beneficiaries of MIHAN MADC are involved in propagating & deceiving thousands of youths by promising them immediate jobs – employment in MIHAN Project, whereas not a single job-employment is created even after 6 Years of the MADC Ltd. incorporation. Poor & Medium Classes are being exploited by land mafias in the name of MIHAN Project in Vidarbha Area. Farmers are also being cheated by the tall promises given by the Political leaders who all have been virtually Rented/Pocketed by the Big Wigs of MIHAN to whom these leaders have been virtually sold out. The tall promises given by such politicians rented to the Corporates has created a great racket being operated to cheat & loot common man in the name of MIHAN Project & Global Development of Vidarbha Region.
Sirs, Vidarbha agrarian crisis coupled with gross corruption in the vision project like MIHAN is a live example of how we are proceeding in a Global Economy in which issues of Rural India, Project Affected People & Farmers have thrown to back benches.
We will be highly obliged, if you could spare few minutes to ON THE MOST SERIOUS ISSUE OF CORRUPTION & GROSS MISUSE OF POWERS BY MADC LTD VICE-CHAIRMAN & M.D. MR. R.C. SINHA TO GIVE ADVANTAGE TO SATYAM'S-MAYTAS & OTHER COMPANIES BENEFITING DUE TO HIS DIRECT INVOLVEMENT IN AWARD OF CONTRACTS WORTH CRORES OF RUPEES IN LIEU OF HELP RENDERED TO CORPORATES IN MIHAN BY R.C. SINHA.
We hope you will consider our request and order immediate CBI Enquiry, as the funds from Central Government and the PSU Controlled by Central Government alongwith State Undertaking are involved in the Project MIHAN of MADC Limited in which Mr. R.C. Sinha is involved. In fact, a complete white paper on the facts & figures is needed in this grave case, involving high ranking bureaucrats, politicians & big Corporates.
We also pray for personal hearing and opportunity of adducing evidence to demonstrate our case.
Hence prayed accordingly.

Amended CrPC-VJAS asked for national debate
Amended CrPC to clips cops’ wings to arrest Homicide, Kidnapping Accused , It's freedom to criminals at the cost innocent victims -VJAS asked for national debate
Law and order after amended CrPC
7-YR PROVISION: Police, instead of arresting an accused, will be obliged to issue him a ‘notice of appearance’ for any offence punishable with jail term up to seven years
OBJECTION: Bar associations argue that doing away with mandatory arrest provisions would remove criminals’ fear
POWER: The amendment allows the police to arrest without an order from a magistrate and without a warrant a person who commits a cognizable offence ‘in the presence of a police officer’
OBJECTION: Bar associations argue that doing away with mandatory arrest provisions would remove criminals’ fear
POWER: The amendment allows the police to arrest without an order from a magistrate and without a warrant a person who commits a cognizable offence ‘in the presence of a police officer’
Nagpur -Dated-19th Jan.
VJAS urged for national debate over recently-revamped Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), which divests police of arrest powers in cases where the maximum sentence is up to seven years, became law with President Pratibha Patil finally giving her assent last week.The presidential assent, which came nearly three weeks after the bill was sent to her after getting it passed from Parliament, has now paved the way for the government to notify it.
Once the law, CrPC (Amendment) Act 2008, becomes effective, the police, instead of arresting the accused, will be obliged to issue him/her a “notice of appearance’’ for any offence punishable with imprisonment up to seven years. The person can be arrested only if he/she does not appear before the police in response to the notice. Seven years or less is the maximum penalty for a host of offences, including attempt to commit culpable homicide, robbery, attempt to suicide, kidnapping, voluntarily causing grievous hurt, cheating, outraging a woman’s modesty and death caused by negligence.
The radical change in the CrPC has, however, drawn flak from a number of Bar associations across the country. Lawyers—who also observed strike in various courts after the bill was passed in Parliament—argue that the amendment (in Section 41) doing away with mandatory arrest provisions would remove fear from the minds of criminals who would misuse the provisions under the garb of personal liberty.
Under Section 41, as it originally stood, a police officer may, without an order of a magistrate and without a warrant, arrest any person who has been concerned in any cognizabale offence.
Some chief ministers had also voiced concerns on the amendment during a conference on internal security here on January 6.
After the amendment in the CrPC allows the police to arrest without an order from a magistrate and without a warrant a person who commits a cognizable offence “in the presence of a police officer’’. It also enables arrest of “a person who has committed a cognizable offence (punishable for a term which may be less than seven years or extend up to seven years) if there is a reasonable complaint or credible information or a reasonable suspicion and the police officer is satisfied that such arrest is necessary for proper investigation of the offence or for preventing tampering with the evidence’’.
The only additional requirement in such cases is that the police officer will have “to record his reasons’’ for making the arrest.
Now Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), which divests police of arrest powers in cases where the maximum sentence is up to seven years, became law with President Pratibha Patil finally giving her assent is ridiculous but till the debate is needed by human activists as we are not convinced the provision of amendments in Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and many us is of the opinion that criminal will use the liberty at the cost victimasation innocent victims hence it's time for parliament to repel the said amendment in CRPC.

The government's approach to the issue of farmer suicides is under the scanner once again. Ironically, this time the authority implementing the Rs 60,000-crore loan-waiver package has found that after loan waiver, the number of suicides have not gone down as much as expected.
The agrarian crisis in Vidarbha's cotton country shows little signs of abating despite what the government has called special efforts. Latest figures show that the number of farmer suicides have not reduced as expected during the period 2007-08, since the loan waiver was announced. The figures have come from the very agency authorised by the government to implement the loan-waiver package. Its study showed that the single biggest factor driving farmers to suicide continues to be loan burden. The results of a government survey in May, in which over 12 lakh farmers from nearly 18 lakh respondents, spoke of distress due to indebtedness. Experts studying this issue say they are not surprised by the findings at all. "Not all the funds meant for farmers is necessarily going to Vidarbha alone. Also even in that case those getting access to the waiver or the benefits are not necessarily the most needy," said Dr S Parsuram, director, TISS. Much criticism has come the government's way in the past over its handling of farmer suicides. But these latest statistics many are hoping will lead to a hardthink, on change of intervention strategies or at least in the way they are implemented. |
