Oh! Dear
Mahadevaiah!!
Answer my
questions !!!
This
is an open letter to you seeking your straight answers without dillydallying
the main issues put forth hereunder. Forgetting yours elevation from an
ordinary EDDA to the position of the General Secretary, because of the great
mighty NFPE and its leadership, you are now trying to maligning the NFPE and its
leadership. Even you have gone down to write the Chief exective of NFPE as
Krishnan & Co in your journals and write ups.
Even
though we are remaining calm and not to expose you under any provocation or
circumstances and waste our energy, you are compelling us again and again due
to your filthy writeups on the Federation and its leadership. You want to cut
the tree below after reaching the top
forgetting your position. Are you ready to answer the following
questions and facts before maligning NFPE?
1.
You are a CPI
political partyman. You are one of the General Council Members of AITUC and
affiliated the AIPEDEU with CPI political party oriented AITUC. Your name
appears as the party General Council Member under serial No.64 of the AITUC affiliated unions published in the “Trade
Union Record”, the fortnightly Journal of AITUC (6-20 Jan, 2013). You have
affiliated AIPEDEU to AITUC with out the knowledge of other office bearers and
also with out the approval of Central Working Committee or All India Conference.
Are you ready the accept the fact?
2.
Still you are
deceiving the real nuetral circle/divisional Secretaries of your own union as
if you are a non political person and not having any political alienation and
garner their support by false propaganda yet. At least hereafter the gullible
leaders of Postal movement shall be made clear about your identity in the
political party. Many of them have already identified your colour and started
formation of NFPE GDS union everywhere. Are you ready to challenge this position?
3.
You have
described that the file relating to the revision of bonus ceiling was cleared
during 12.12.2012 strike period with the intention to sabotage the strike. But
the file was returned and disposed by MoF with adverse quiries. Is it not
cheating? Why you have deliberatedly repeating the lies before the GDS? You
have spread red carpet to Natarajamurthy Committee and cooperated with it when
NFPE decided to boycott it. Then you made a show as if you are protesting the
report. We have also participated in the three days solidarity strike. What was
your achievement? Thereafter when the report without modification was
implemented that too after one year you claimed that is your victory and
started collecting donation from the GDS for building fund. Where is the
amount? Are you having any accounts for the same? What is the total collection?
Are you ready to publish the entire accounts of the building fund collection?
(You did nothing during your 13 years period except
standing as a mute spectator of the forfeiture of many benefits which were
secured by the NFPE and its united efforts)
4.
We have charged
you that you are receiving Postal Assistant salary with ten increments,
transport allowance, conveyance allowance, head quarters allowance and all the
benefits as if a Postal Assistant is entitled. Are you really entitled? Whether
any GDS will get such huge amount as if you are drawing from the membership
collections? Is it not defrauding the
subscription of down trodden GDS.
5.
A picture showing
your Bangalore Bhawan was circulated earlier by some comrades. Are you denying
that the building is not yours? Then where you have purchased a building in
Bangalore? Are you ready to publish the photo of your Bangalore building as if
you have published your Kolar house? Are you not having a own house purchased 3
years before after implementation of GDS committee recommendation. You are
exhibiting the picture of your village house photo which was taken 10 years
back in Kolar that too before its renovation which you made 6 years before.
Your innocent followers are still thinking that you are perfect. Are you ready
to disclose your assests in public?
6.
You are working
as EDDA, Doorvaninagar for 6 months in a year. You are in Bangalore City. Are
you not drawing double salary that too in the pay scale of PA for the work you
are performing as EDDA for Six months. Are you ready to disclose your salary
payment taken from the CHQ? Whether any GDS will draw two salaries; one from
the department and from the union that too in very exhorbitant amount for the
work performed as EDDA?
7.
It is one of our
major allegations when we were together that all the Donations you have
colletecd for building fund have been swallowed and swindled by you. Where the amount
has gone? We had the right to ask the details because most of the amount have
been remitted by the branches who are now in AIPEU GDS (NFPE). You have been
asked explanation by the department for such huge collection and you have also
tendered excuses. That was the reason you have not participated in the strike
discussions taken place for more than nine times with the administration during
July 2011. After the disposal of the file, you started as if you are against to
the administration. Can you deny the facts? Can you disclose the notice and
also the reply you sent to the notice?
8.
During your seven
days strike time you have stated that you are going to expose the unnecessary
administrative expenditure and have sufficient proof and meaning to go for legal
forums and Courts. When are you going to Court and other forums? Why are you
silent even after the strike there is not a single settlement? Who stopped you? Are you not having any such
material and was it only bogus just to
kindle the sentiments of the GDS during the strike? The GDS are much suffocated
and vexed due to your tactics to keep them in fold simply by rousing their
sentiments by spreading canards. Do you know? You can fool somebody for all
times and not everyone at all times. Can you say one settlement you reached due
to this seven days strike? Is strike for the sake of strike or to divert the
attention and anger of the GDS against your frauds in accounts?
9.
You have told the
percentage of your strike exceeds 80% in all circles even in West Bengal except
Kerala and you were disputing the figure furnished by the NFPE and challenging
to prove the figures. Yes we are having the figures. Are you ready? It is less
than 20%. Are you ready to have a platform for disclosing our figure and your
figure?
10.
The last, but at
the least, that we are ready for reverfication for membership. Are you ready?
If you are having guts and confidence of keeping the membership with you accept
our challenge. We are ready. Are you ready?
Your days are counted.
In
fact we do not want to wash dirty linen in public about your fraudulant
activities as General Secretary of a major union born with the sacrifice of
leaders like Com. Adinarayana and others which was later misused for your
political gain. Displaying the GDS union with AITUC in the ‘March to
Parliament’ and all your notorious activites are now coming in to light and all
the GDS are watching. Don’t think they will endorse all your activities.
In
many circles the comrades who understand the services and sacrifices of NFPE
are joining enmasse in AIPEU GDS (NFPE) and we will be number one at the time
of reverification. You are forgetting the ladder the NFPE and throw it after
climbing to the Top forgetting that one day you have to come down. Yes. It is
happening now and it is a warning to you. We know what is what. GDS will be
liberated from your notorious and separatist activities. Hope you will correct
your position atleast hereafter.
With
fraternal greetings,
(R.
Dhanraj)
Dy.
General Secretary
