ADVANI'S JAN CHETNA YATRA AT SAMBALPUR

Orissa News : Advani’s Jan chetna yatra reaching Sambalpur , Orissa 24/10/2011

Senior BJP leader L K Advani will touch Orissa on October 22 and cover a distance of 427 km on road in the state for three days during his forthcoming rath yatra, party sources said.
Advani will be greeted by party supporters at Sohela in Bargarh district after he enters the state from Chhattisgarh. The BJP patriarch is scheduled to address a public meeting at Bargarh the same day. After a brief halt at Attabira in the same district, Advani will proceed for Sambalpur and will stay there for the night.
Advani would have faced trouble if he would have visited Sambalpur via Bargarh NH-6. Apprehending the situation , the BJP workers at Bargarh district had threatened the govt to launch a massive movement against the government if they defer from repairing the road.

Even MLA Nihar Mahanad had decided to go fast unto death showing his concern for the Messiah of BJP Supremo. The Condition of the road is so poor to reaching sambalpur which is 50 km and because of the poor condition of the road it takes around 2 hours to reach Sambalpur.

Tension is brewing up at Sambalpur , the epicenter of western Orissa before the arrival of Mr Advani’s rathyatra politics at the western part of Orissa or one can say the whole Orissa. On 22nd Oct , just a day before his visit a case has been registered against the local MLA Jaynarayan Mishra and BJP Town Unit president and Ex municipality Chairman Mr Girish Patel . It has been claimed that for getting a sit during the municipal election and a post he went for a fake caste certificate. Patel is a bhahubali and a close aid of The MLA Mr Jayanarayan Mishra and a prime member of Mr Advani’s Rathyatra here at sambalpur.

In between , the BJD leader dist president launched a massive agitation in front of SP office on Saturday demanding their urgent arrest. The Sambalpur SP Mr Kanodia told the media persons that he would go for an investigation and there is a formidable task ahead for Mr Advani’s visit to sambalpur i.e. 23rd OCT on Sunday, he had not arrested them keeping to prevent any consequences.

We all are talking about corruptions in all India/Odisha level.But we are not actively fighting Corruptions,forgery,land grabbings by Sri Jaynaranyan Misra MLA Sambalpur and a ex minister as well as his coterie...He submitted a false educational affidavit, help 2 impostor as Chairman of Sbp.muncipalty and Burla NAC.He has been indicted by the CAG Report on his involvement in corruptions as an minister..He was involved in security number plate scam..He has earned a lot from allowing over load in trucks ..through agents...He has made fortunes in Port MOU..In his guidance Sambalpu Burla was looted by Girish Patel,Bishnu Rakhit and the chairman of the Sambalpur Muncipality Reena trivedi..He is the founder of Land mafia ism at sambalpur.The BJP office at the kacheri i.e in front of District Collector Office at Sambalpur

The BJP office kacheri Road is forcefully occupied..The House Girish Patel is staying too managed with force and powers. These people should be arrested..All their activities, properties, are to be inquired up on by high power vigilance department. He and his caucus are curse on sambalpur. Let Mr Advani knows what his party workers at lowest level are doing. These things must be highlighted.

When Advani announced that he proposed another cross-country yatra aimed at rejuvenating the party, many of his colleagues were caught by surprise. A section within the BJP sees it as an indication of Advani's determination to cling on to power by perpetuating factionalism within the BJP's Gen Next.

With Advani having a stopover at key places across the country, the party aims to showcase a united front with the public. Some of the high profile attendees include Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharati.
Treating these yatras as the continuation of a tradition that is "universal" as well as "deeply rooted" in Hindutva, Advani has used them as a tool for mobilizing mass support. While the Ram Rath Yatra of 1990 did lead to a resurgence in the BJP's support base, others evoked doubtful results.

If the 2009 Lok Sabha elections are any indication, Advani's Bharat Suraksha Yatra in 2007 aimed at exposing the government's failure to tackle terrorism and expose its policy of Muslim appeasement failed to make much difference. Nor did his Bharat Uday Yatra, which virtually amounted to a campaign for the 2004 Lok Sabha elections.

BJP leader LK Advani's Jan Chetna Yatra against corruption entered day 13 on Sunday. He will addressing five public meetings across Orissa over the next three days.
He had been accompanied by Ravi Shankar, Santosh Gangwa and Chandan Mitra. He gave talks on corruption, black money in Swiss Bank, nepotism, bribery and all related topics again and again, blabber the same thing again and again.

If there is will to stop corruption it can be stopped," Advani told the gathering, adding only three governments led by Lal Bahadur Shastri, Morarji Desai and Atal Behari Vajpayee were the ones which were "scam-free".
It is also being assured by MR L.K.ADVANI that if their party will come to power the Jan Lokpal Bill will be passed. Its like a pot calling the kettle black.

The other stark reality is Advani's race to the Prime Minister post. Though Advani has denied that he was in the race, he had stated that it was up to the party to decide on the same at an appropriate time.

In my opinion it is a political gimmick to keep people in illusion and allure them towards the NDA or BJP. In this party where there is no internal democracy and people from these party are not free from corruptions and scandals to what extent the BJP will give an excellent and solid governance.

Now Politics has become a profession and not people’s proper representation. This Jan Chetna Yatra or voyage of Mr Advani is like kicking against the pricks and carries no meaning at all.
