Dear friend Like everyone here at Burma Campaign UK, you must have seen in the media the wonderful scenes of celebration at the headquarters of Aung San Suu Kyi’s party, the National League for Democracy (NLD). As election results started coming in, it became clear the NLD were likely to win a big majority. Some media reports have gone so far as to say Burma’s struggle for freedom is over, that democracy has arrived. That’s exactly the impression the generals want to give. A military drafted constitution means that the NLD government will face lots of limits on its powers, and the people of Burma are going to continue to need our support to win their real freedom. As our Campaigns Manager Zoya Phan said in an article in The Independent newspaper today: I know the NLD government will be able to make many positive changes in my country, and this is really good news. At the same time however, deep down I know the military hasn’t completely handed over power. An NLD government is going to face many challenges because the army has inserted lots of clauses into the constitution to limit its power. This is designed to restrict the freedom of the NLD government to make big changes to the country. The impression that everything is now OK makes me very worried for the future. This isn’t the end of our long struggle. It’s the start of a new phase of that struggle, and the military are as determined as ever not to give up control. Celebrate an NLD victory today, but tomorrow, we still need your support. You can read the full article here. Voters queue at a polling station in Rangoon. Our Director, Mark Farmaner, has written an article for theHuffington Post which details all the tricks the military have used to try to keep their grubby fingers on the levers of power, and shows why international support will still be desperately needed. You can read it here. There is no doubt that Burma would not have got this far without the sacrifices so many people in the country have made for freedom, and without the international support they have received. International pressure has played a key role in supporting Burma’s democracy movement. That support is still needed for the next phase of the struggle, so please make a donation today to support our work. Thank you. Anna Roberts Executive Director PS. In the UK we wouldn’t accept the head of the British Army appointing the Home Secretary and Defence Minister or the military setting their own budget, starving hospitals and schools of funds.Make a donation today to help bring genuine democracy to Burma.Thank you.

Jairam Ramesh ‘I Am Think Tank of Congress’ or Septic Tank

November11, 2015 (C) Ravinder Singh ravindersinvent@gmail.com

Jairam Ramesh who believes he is think tank of Congress and Sam Pitroda are two Rasputins who destroyed Congress & India. They are making a fool of Rahul Gandhi, Sam Pitroda for three decades.

http://www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/PIRReport/Documents/Indicator-Reports-Mar12082015.pdf

As per the latest Telecom report available Delhi has 49.3m Telephone Lines – more than 12 per household. Sam Pitroda is EXTREME DULLARD –was filing BOGUS Patents to Impress Rajiv Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

He takes Credits for PCO when actually USA had ‘Un-Manned PCOs’ at every Bus Stop or Public Places like Banks, Airports, Hospitals, Stations etc in 1970s. He actually made it MANUAL PCOs, pay cash for calls made required Office, Electricity to Operate, Cost Much More than Own Connection.

Can he explain why do we need 12 Telephone Connections Per Household? I remember Reliance WLL service in 2004 worked perfectly even in remote hills, today with so much INVESTMENTS Call Drops and Quality of Voice is Pathetic even in South Delhi. He failed to PREVENT CALL RE-ROUTING.

And almost all of them are IMPORTED HANDSETS & EXCHANGES, even locally made phones have less than 10% value additions.

Jairam takes credit for 2004 win which was Third Class Accidental Success – 145 seats out of 543 was entirely due to BJP’s total bungling –Urine Cola, Anti Farmer, Anti Poor, Anti Minority Policies, Corruption and etc. 2009 success was second class – mainly due to Farmer Loan Waivers, Substantial Increase in MSP and No Passenger Fare increase by Railways and Record Railway Performance.

He was Total Disaster in Every Department –

INDUSTRY: Failed to IMPROVE Patent Office, Promoted JUGAADS than developing products for markets, Bank Credits to Industry Quadrupled but products were mainly imported and there was Zero Industry growth except in packaging marketing. India exports Unprocessed FOODS, Low Value Materials.

ENERGY: – Only two of 16 UMPP could come up in 10 years, Failed to PromoteMultipurpose Dams – 200,000 MW Potential in Himalayas alone, Energy Efficiency, Cook Stoves for Poor, Power Distribution, Rigged Meters etc.

Arvind Kejriwal Applied DANDA and Tata and Ambani in few months are supplying UN-Interrupted Power. Nehru built BHAKRA DAM Jairam was promoting LAME DUCK Dams, Check Dams or RWH all Disasters Wasteful.

ENVIRONMENT: – He completely MISHANDLED the ministry creating OBSTRUCTIONS in everything, De-Railed Agro Bio-Tech Research & Development.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT: –  He was TOTAL FAILURE, couldn’t improve Water Supply, Sanitation, Food Storage & Processing, MSMEs etc. 

Jairam Ramesh & Sam Pitroda are SEPTIC TANKS of Congress.
