President Poll
Mamata smiles on Pranab win, will attend swearing-in ceremony
KOLKATA: For once the political fault-lines in Bengal dissipated on Sunday as the enormity of the first Bengali occupant at Raisina Hill started to sink in. Mamata Banerjee called up Pranab Mukherjee
after it was clear that he has got an unassailable lead and
congratulated him. Mukherjee thanked her and requested her to be part of
his July 25 swearing-in, which Mamata "graciously" accepted.
Trinamool's Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien confirmed, "Yes, Mamatadi had
called up Pranabbabu to congratulate him on being elected the country's
13th President. Pranabbabu thanked her and requested her to be present
during the swearing-in ceremony. Mamatadi has accepted the invite." This
capped the day-long celebrations from the bursting of fire-crackers and
garlanding a huge portrait of Pranab Mukherjee at the PCC headquarters,
to an eclectic gathering at the cool environs of a plush hotel to
celebrate Mukherjee's victory. Governor M K Narayanan said, "Bengal and
the whole of India hail the victory. "
The celebrations at the PCC headquarters started when counting began. From 10am, supporters started gathering.

Obama not insulting but cheering India: Wall Street Journal
WASHINGTON, Observing that the "truth- telling" of US President Barack Obama
"evidently pricked the thin skin of India's politicians", a leading
American financial daily has said he is in fact "cheering" the Indian
elite and not insulting them.
"It is no wonder foreign investors
are appealing to their leaders for help against Delhi's protectionism.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong
alluded to how these policies created a poor business climate during a
Delhi visit last week, which follows concerns more openly voiced by the
UK's George Osborne and US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.
"If Mr Geithner's boss is now joining the chorus, it's because previous warnings have gone unheeded," The Wall Street Journal said in its editorial on Obama's remarks in an exclusive interview to PTI recently.
Trinamool
Trinamool will stay in UPA as long as it gets respect: Mamata Banerjee
KOLKATA: In a strong message to the Congress, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Saturday said her party will remain in the UPA as long as it received respect, but will go it alone in West Bengal where Congress is an ally.
"We don't want to survive on anyone's mercy. In Delhi we are part of
the alliance and will remain so as long we are given respect. But in
Bengal, we will go it alone," she told a massive gathering at the
party's annual martyr's day rally here.
Raising the pitch again
for a three-year moratorium on interest payments, the West Bengal chief
minister said her government would wait for some time for the Centre to
respond to the state's demand.
"We will wait patiently for some time for the Centre's response to our demand. We will not pay any interest," she said.
"While our earnings are Rs 22,000 crore, we have to shell out Rs 25,000
crore as interest payments which is a legacy of the previous Left Front
government's reckless governance," she said.
"We will ask the
Prime Minister why the former Left Front government was allowed to
borrow such a huge amount leading to a massive debt of Rs 2.03 lakh
crore," she said.
She said if it was not forthcoming, then all
MPs and MLAs of Trinamool along with the legislators of GJM would march
to Delhi to meet the Prime Minister for fulfilment of the demands.
"If needed, we will give a call for Delhi chalo. If the state is
deprived, then Bengal has the courage to realise its dues. We are not
seeking alms or a special package," she said.
In an obvious
reference to a section of Congress leaders, she said that her party
wanted the Congress to stay in the government here, but would not
tolerate any "slander by a section of them in league with the CPI(M)".
She also announced that the panchayat elections in the state would be held after the pujas.

Manesar violence
Manesar violence a shocker, but will not shift plant: Maruti
NEW DELHI: Maruti Suzuki today declared a lockout at the violence-hit Manesar plant, stating it cannot risk life and safety of its employees. "There is now a lockout. To me, what is more important is safety of my colleagues than producing some cars to make some money," Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) chairman RC Bhargava said at a press conference here.
MSI general manager (human resource) Awanish Kumar Dev was burnt to death and about 90 officials and supervisors were injured when violence broke out at Manesar plant in Haryana on July 18. He said production will not resume till investigation into the incident is completed and corrective steps are taken to ensure that there is no recurrence of violence which came as "shocker" to the company.
Whether there was any plan to shift the production facility to an alternate site, he said, "Talks of Maruti unit moving out of Manesar is an absolute fiction ... We are not moving the plant out of Manesar. Maruti is flag-bearer of industrialization in Haryana."
