NEWSNOTES
Cyclone maroons Orissa
In one of the worst natural disasters ever to hit the country, the state of Orissa was ravaged by a cyclone on Friday and remains cut off from the rest of the world as telecommunication links snapped and even the chief minister’s hotline was not working. Two Union ministers, L.K.Advani and George Fernandes, could not even land in Bhubaneswar for a survey because of the destruction. There is absolutely no count of the hundreds who have either been killed or are missing and the world is still waiting for even initial estimates regarding the loss in which crores worth property have been lost and at least 1.5 million people affected

O
ur hearts go to the millions affected in the super cyclone in the East Coast of India this week.  Needless to say this disaster in Orissa should be declared as a national disaster and it is painful to see the Government of India dithering on this

ANALYSIS
Reforging the third force...Mulayam is still wrong
lbball1.gif (110 bytes)How these tactics worked out can be seen in the example of Maharashtra after the elections. The CPI(M) with two MLAs extended support to the Congress-NCP coalition government but made it clear it would be issue-based. There was no other option if the Shiv Sena-BJP combine was to be kept out of power. The Samajwadi Party with two MLAs also took a similar position of helping to form the government, but unlike the CPI(M) it has joined the government with a minister.
