JSP for caste-free politics, SCS and undisturbed social fabric: Pawan Kalyan
The Hindu
YSRCP misused opportunity given by people, fading out gradually, says JSP Chief
Jana Sena Party (JSP) will stand for caste-free politics, Special Category Status (SCS) and a society that united as Andhra Pradesh, not as castes and sub-castes, says the party president and actor Pawan Kalyan. In an exclusive interaction with The Hindu at his party office here, the JSP chief says the ruling YSR Congress has failed on all the promises it made to people and is fading away in several districts.
Commenting that the present government has promoted rivalries among the castes through undesired means, Mr. Pawan said the State should be united as people of Andhra Pradesh to restore the social fabric and JSP will strive to achieve the goal.
YSRCP should go as it betrayed youth, employees, teachers and farmers. Despite enough strength in the Parliament, the fight for SCS was ignored by the party according to him.
“Instead of ban on liquor, its sale is promoted through numerous brands. And no Capital city for AP; no development, roads are in a pathetic state, no new industries and no employment. All sections of the society are unhappy about the governance and it is evident in the way leaders are facing the heat from the public today,” Mr Pawan reasons out. The loss is gradual, not seen at a go. YSRCP is washed out in a couple of districts and is fast fading out in many districts, he commented.
Speaking about the irreparable damage done to AP through illogical and unjustified bifurcation, he said that the political parties have sacrificed people’s interests for their own selfish gains. “Eight years on, there are several bifurcation issues pending and unresolved and it was a huge loss to AP but the parties have become mute spectators. People will not keep quiet; they will give it back. As we can see, Congress has lost AP and TDP has lost Telangana,” he said, adding that the people of AP should unite and fight for their rights in this regard.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
