UP is passing through very troubled times. Governance in the state is transitory (6 governments in a 10 years term of Uttar Pradesh Assembly) administration insensitive to such segment of population and law / order gone completely haywire. Exploitation, injustice, enslavement, deprivation of fundamental human rights of food has reached its zenith. The chasm between 'haves' and 'haves not ' is broadening-neo riches are obtaining riches; opulence and poor are getting further poor. We boast Food self sufficiency and enough of food grains in our offers but 60% women and children of UP country are malnourished and 50% of them dangerously suffering the pangs of severe and acute malnutrition. Uprooted from the homes and in rural areas by confiscation of their cultivable residential land by expanding urban posh colonies have turned millions into penury, squatter population, slum dwellers and inhuman conditions. Women and children are at the worst receiving end.
In normal circumstances the common people of the country and U.P. and Uttaranchal is unaware about the fundamental rights/human rights and entitlements because of the higher rate of illiteracy, this reduce their potential access to the entitlements. Another segment of the public has been compelled to compromise with the situations as the gainful employment opportunities are shrinking in both organized and unorganized sectors. Because of the lack of awareness about the legal provisions and entitlements atrocities against them are increasing and their vulnerability is increasing.
Traditionally Uttar Pradesh is a agriculture based economy and agriculture and allied activities are the main source of livelihood for nearly 82% of the population and out of the total population belonging to farming community nearly 80% belongs to small marginal and land less farmers. Forest based tribal communities are migrating in the urban and suburban areas in search of gainful employment and most of them involved as contract worker in construction and allied activities and exploited by the employers or contractors. They are not in a position to exercise their normal citizens rights and they have almost no access to the minimum basic facilities and government welfare schemes & programs. There are several constitutional and legal provision and enactments by the Government for the protection of human rights to common citizens. Furthermore we are a democracy and our focus is social welfare and as per Indian Constitution people have the Supreme power. But in spite of these commitments and provisions human rights glaringly and ruthlessly pummelled. Infant and under 5 mortality including maternal mortality rates are abhorrently high in spite of billons of dollars of foreign aid loan grant has been squandered away and is still continuing. In spite of bumper crops 60% women and children are suffering the pangs of malnutrition and 50% of them suffer from that severe acute level from where death is a day away.
This the present state of UP....err..Mayawatis UP,acctually if she would have known little of this fact that her state is goin through so mouch,where ,malnutrition nd unemployment is major cause of deadth.i guess she would hav not displayed her wealth around,wait a minute...its peoples wealth she is using.its ours.if she would have gone through any of this blogs written against it,she would have felt ashamed of her self.instead of accepting garlan worth of cores of rupees she should simply donate it to sum organisation who works for the betterment of poor.Earlier she used public money for constructing a raplica of herself in whole UP. i mean wat was the need of it.people from every sector opposed this move,nd they should oppose it it makes a logic to oppose the move,she even sacked a karnataka party wing's man for speaking against it.what the hell.,here people are opposing her move to accept the the million dollar garland nd i dont see any apology comin.God bless mayawati and give her some brains to run the governmenta and GOD bless UP.
