Saffron party's youth wing embarks on yatra to Srinagar

New Delhi Politics: BJP mobilises yuva brigade

For the first time in its history, the BJP has placed the reins of a very sensitive and important issue–the Kashmir issue in this case – in the hands of the party's youth wing, Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJYM).

As part of this move, a yatra was flagged off on January 12 from Kolkata, the birthplace of the party's founder Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. The Kashmir issue has been on top of BJP's agenda for decades. But in the past, sensitive issues such as Kashmir, Ram temple and Uniform Civil Code were taken up and handled only by the top brass of the saffron political party.

The yatra will pass through several states including Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh before culminating at Sri Nagar's Lal Chowk on January 26, where the BJP leaders plan to unfurl the national flag.

This is for the first time in the history of BJYM that a programme of this magnitude has been done on a core ideological issue. There will be about 150 public meetings on way to Srinagar during 16 days.

The yatra aims to make people, and especially youngsters, “aware of the separatist movement” in the state. There is a political undertone to this yatra too. The party wants to organise the youth against the Congress and counter Rahul Gandhi's drive to bring more and more fresh blood into the party fold.

The BJP has always protested agaisnt the implementation of Article 370 of the Constitution in Kashmir, under which Kashmir is allowed to have a separate constitution and flag. People from outside the state cannot purchase land in the state, apply for government jobs here or enjoy adult suffrage.

Anurag Thakur, president of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, says, “The Kashmir issue is historical blunder by the Congress that the country is still grappling with. The root cause is the implementation of article 370. The day it is withdrawn, this unnatural line of division will be wiped out. The solution to Kashmir issue should be found out under constitutional ambit and not religious.” Talking to TSI, national general secretary of BJYM, Manoranjan Mishra says, “This is the biggest campaign in the history of the yuva morcha. We also plan to directly contact more than one crore youths through internet.”

ANDHRA PRADESH CONTROVERSY: Politics over dismissal

VC Kumari terms her dismissal a political vendetta

Is the post of vice chancellor of a university apolitical? This and other questions are being debated in the state after the removal of vice chancellor of Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Dr. P. Kusuma Kumari, by the chancellor and Andhra Pradesh governor E.S.L. Narasimhan.

Based on the report submitted to the government by Justice A. Hanumanthu, the governor dismissed the VC for willful omission and refusal to carry out provisions of the AP Universities Act. The nine-point report by Hanumanthu commission confirmed the charges of various irregularities committed by the VC while appointing assistant professors without required qualifications during the 2009-10 academic year.

Disgruntled Kumari termed her dismissal a political vendetta. 'With the death of Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR), we (her group) have become political orphans in the state and turned out to be vulnerable for political vindictiveness,' she wailed before the media.

Kumari of Sri Padmavathi Mahila University assumed office of SKU as a VC in August, 2008, using her political clout. She is the sister-in-law of former TTD chairman Bhumana Karunakar Reddy, a close aide of late YSR and now a staunch loyalist of Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy (Jagan)'s camp.

Alleging partisanship in removal of Kumari, some MLAs in Jagan camp wittingly, or unwittingly confirmed that the VC was political prot'g' of YSR.

YSR was notoriously known for his nepotism. Besides, during his rule he had set an example by appointing his aides in pivotal posts for years, without following the basic norms. The appointment of Kumari also drew flak at that time. CPI leader and former MLA K Ramakrishna told TSI: 'Bhumana Subramanyam Reddy, VC's husband, was directly collecting money from candidates applying for the assistant professor posts.'

The Hanumanthu commission revealed that the VC, besides appointing unqualified assistant professors, illegally regularised the services of eight assistant professors who were appointed temporarily on contract basis under X Plan, with retrospective effect from the date of their appointment with payment of arrears. Taking a serious exception on ousted VC's remarks on her dismissal, Chief Minister K. Rosaiah faulted her for politicising the issue. Higher Education Minister D. Sridhar Babu, condemned Kumari's statements.

'As many as 23 vice chancellors were appointed during YSR's tenure but action was taken only against Kumari because she committed irregularities in recruitment,' he said.
