Organizations around the world support the revolution in India

Organizations around the world are supporting the revolution in India, which is largely led by the Communist Party of India (Maoist). Most of the countries in Europe have a solidarity committee of some kind to support India’s revolution. There have also been calls to stop the arbitrary arrest of Raj kishore Singh , General Secretary of the Revolutionary Democratic Front of India. Conferences are being planned for next year for a coordinated effort to support India’s revolution. Here in the US, many of us have covered these events, but actual support committees are not wide spread yet. This blog and Kasama Project have given a lot of coverage to the Indian revolution, but it might take a while to be able to interact with our European counter-parts.

Arbitrary arrest of Raj kishore Singh, General Secretary of the Revolutionary Democratic Front of India
From Brazilian Center of Solidarity with the Peoples – CEBRASPO:
A Google translation;
For the immediate and unconditional release of Raj kishore !
Kshore Raj Singh is the leader of the popular movements in India and was one of the prominent voices against the war from the Indian state to its people miserable. It has been one of the main spokesmen of the fight against the so-called Operation Green Hunt , a campaign of persecution of activists and poor people which is being executed by the reactionary army at the behest of the Indian central government with the support of state governments .
The arrest of Raj kshore was not an isolated act of the Indian state that has systematically hunted people linked to the struggle of the people criminalizing leaders and grassroots activists , such as the recent case of Saibaba , the arrest and incarceration of the executive members Dandapani Mohanlalty in Orissa , Raja Sarkhel Bengal West Bengal RDF Committee Member Prasun Chatterjee .
We condemn the arrest of Raj Singh kshore and criminalization of activists and social movements . We demand immediate and unconditional release !
Prisão arbitrária de Raj kishore Singh, Secretário Geral da Frente Democrática Revolucionária da Índia
The oritional:
Pela libertação imediata e incondicional de Raj kishore!

Raj kshore Singh é dirigente dos movimentos populares na Índia e foi uma das vozes destacadas contra a guerra do Estado indiano ao seu povo miserável. Tem sido um dos principais porta-vozes da luta contra a chamada Operação Caçada Verde, uma campanha de perseguição aos militantes e ao povo pobre que vem sendo executada pelo exército reacionário a mando do governo central indiano com apoio de governos estaduais.

A prisão de Raj kshore não foi um ato isolado do Estado indiano que tem caçado sistematicamente pessoas ligadas à luta do povo criminalizando os dirigentes e ativistas populares, como o recente caso de Saibaba, a detenção e encarceramento dos membros executivos Dandapani Mohanlalty em Orissa, Raja Sarkhel de Bengala Ocidental , Bengala RDF Membro do Comitê Prasun Chatterjee.

Repudiamos a prisão de Raj kshore Singh e a criminalização dos ativistas e movimentos sociais. Exigimos imediata libertação incondicional!

THE NEXT TAKEOVER BY THE INDIAN BANIA BRIGADE IS THE NMP

As usual ,the Indian Media has been purchased or is just inept.I do not blame the Panwari Bania Indian Media.They have no domain expertise and they are cash starved – so they are easily conned and purchased.

NMP is a privatisation and disinvestment,via an operating and/or financial lease.The purpose is NOT to raise funds – as else,the idle/surplus/loss making assets could have been quarantined, in a SPV and sold off,or a JV partner brought in.The purpose is NOT to improve efficiency,as else the assets could have been transferred to a toll operator on a pure O&M Contract (SO NO LEASE CHARGES),with a bonus for INCREMENTAL EFFICIENCY.

The Purpose of the NMP,is also NOT to cut staff costs,as the GOI is the owner of the asset,and so,the staff cost is a sunk cost – who will remain a burden on the GOI,or take a VRS,or hopefully die over the lease tenor.

The Purpose of the NMP,is NOT to increase bank credit,as banks would lend better to a SPV, which had ownership of the asset.W/o an asset, a bank will lend on Balance sheet and Guarantees of Promoters of the operating lessee – wherein THERE WILL NO MORTAGEABLE SECURITY.Banks cannot possess the GOI ASSET, if the lessee goes bust.Of Course,a new lessee can step in – but if the first lessor could not make a profit on the asset,the reasons for the losses,are beyond redemption.

The lessors will obviously make a neat profit (for the NON-MANUFACTURING AND NON PRODUCTION ASSETS – like Roads,Hydro,Bridges,Stadiums etc.,) with the aid of bank leverage, and on the expiry of the lease period,will buy the asset – after a ICB.By then,the banks would have assessed,tested and appraised the technical and managerial competency of the lessor – and so.the Banks and PEs etc.,will easily fund the acquisition.In the alternate the GOI could takeover over the property and land developments (to collect the rentals etc.or do another lease of the same) by the lessor (after the lease expiry) , and just hand over the core toll asset to a ICB Buyer.

The Manufacturing assets leased under the NMP,(like Thermal Power plants etc.) will become junk in 20 years and also technically obsolete,and so the GOI will have no use in its repossession – except to set up a refurbished plant and sell of the surplus land.In 20 years,the land used for the same manufacturing capacity will fall by at least 50%,and so that surplus land will be windfall to the GOI,and the GOI will be glad to let the lessor acquire the plant and take a bank loan to refurbish it.

The 1st Purpose of the NMP,is to SELL the asset BUT BY NOT CALLING IT A SALE – in law.If they had sold the asset,they would receive a MUGH HIGHER Valuation – but that has a huge POLITICAL COST and the CONTINGENCIES OF TIME.

The 2nd Purpose of the NMP,is to MONETISE THE LAND associated with the asset,w/o SELLING THE LAND,and outsourcing this SCAM,to a private person,so that the GOI is free of the taint and scams in the land monetisation.For example, in a toll road,the jackpot will come in the property development/promotion/adverisement/drive in theatres/malls etc.,on the land on the ROW of the Road,and other areas.If the GOI does it,there will be scams – and so,it is outsourced to the private party – who will make a killing,as his tenor is 25 years,and the GOI is getting a Pay down on Day 1 (with no comparable benchmark).The same applies to GOI stadiums,libraries,buildings,Railway stations…………………The core driver of the monetisation streams is the LAND (even for ports).

The 3rd Purpose of the NMP,is to provide a risk free lending option to Indian Banks,as the Banks are lending to the GOI,VIA THE OPERATING LEASE LESSOR (as the bank will fund a part of the lease payment to the state).If the lessee defaults,some other lessor will step in.

The 4th Purpose of the NMP,is to provide an option to the banks to BLOAT the Bank Balance Sheet,TO REDUCE THE NPA %.dindooohindoo

There is a new rip off by the Indian Bania Brigade ! The NMP !

The 5th Purpose of the NMP is to circulate credit across the supply chain of these revived moribund assets – in the hope that some money flows to the NPA entities – so that they repay the loans.

The 6th Purpose of the NMP,is to boost the fiscal revenues of the GOI,as new business streams will be created across the supply chain – but more importantly,the leased assets
were with the GOI,in non taxable units or loss making units.Now with these assets in a lessee entity – the lessee will run the assets to make a profit – and that will be taxed,w/o any tax shelters,as the assets were constructed some time ago.

The 7th Purpose of the NMP is to use 5% of the Cash raised to do a VRS and kick out all the GOI staff on the leased assets – with an option to them,to ne hired by the lessee.

If this Titanic sails,then next will be the surplus Military and CAPF land – which will be worth USD 100 Billion at the minimum

In essence,a road or a port,post operations,can be run better by a private lessee ONLY BY CUTTING COSTS AND IMPROVING OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES.But this incremental PROFIT by the lessee cannot JUSTIFY the NMP UPFRONT PREMIUM.The PREMIUM IS justified ONLY by UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF THE LAND COMMERCIALISATION AND PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT OF THE LAND AND PROPERTY USP, EMBEDDED IN THE GOI ASSET.

The GOI may be able to Unlock the embedded land value,on its own – but that will come with scams – and so,it is OUTSOURCED -wherein the netas will pull all the strings – but the axe will fall on the lessee.

Indian Duds do not realise that GOI does not care for GOI jobs,or Quotas in Jobs.There is no money for these fantasies.That India died with the Chaiwala as PM.dindooohindoo

India is the ONLY Nation in the world,which HAS USED COVID as an OPPORTUNITY,to do an NMP,Privatise Ports,and raise GST and ED,on Fuels and Edible oils – for its fiscal management, which would have been UNTHINKABLE,IF COVID were not there !
