What is LOKSATTA PARTY’s STAND ON WOMEN’S RIGHTS and RESERVATION FOR SC/ST in education-employment?
Phanisai Bharadwaj, their CANDIDATE for Bangalore South Assembly Constituency is ANTI-WOMEN and against SC/ ST reservation.
He is part of women-hating, so-called men’s rights groups that seem to believe they’re the oppressed sex and constantly spread mis/disinformation about women and laws meant to protect women (E.g. DV Act) from abuse of various kinds. He seems to be a contact person for the Centre for Men’s Rights (http://menrights.org/).
And please do check out the MENRIGHTS CHARTER
Charter
Aims and Objectives
Our aims and objectives are to promote menâs welfare and their human rights and prevent abuse of menâs rights. We aim to reduce suicide rate of men and create more acceptability and choices for men in society. Therefore, we aim to work towards:
Promoting laws which do not marginalize men or undermine their role in families and society.
Creating genuine implementation of the Indian constitutionâs goal for equality for both sexes by way of judicial and executive reforms
Forming support groups for men facing abuse of their rights simply because they happen to be of male gender.
Reject all attempts to dilute menâs fundamental rights in the name of women empowerment or any other social engineering goals.
Focus on children welfare being important and reduce attempts to remove fathers and reduce their role in lives of their children
Create awareness about adverse effects of father-child separation following divorce or separation under âsole custodyâ arrangements and the need for allowing meaningful parenting role to fathers.
In order to fulfil the objectives of this organization we will
Provide counselling to men facing any violation of their fundamental or human rights mainly because of their male gender
Strive for gender equality in laws related to marriage, divorce, child custody and domestic abuse.
Conduct public awareness events, workshops, seminars, and press conferences on issues of menâs rights and welfare
Make representations and disseminate information to lawmakers, judiciary, and various authorities of the Government and Semi-government organizations, Not-for-profit organizations and other national and international agencies and promote discussion on issues related to menâs rights and welfare
Conduct and promote research on issues related to menâs health and well-being in all areas of life, and promote the same to government and other agencies.
Dr. Meenakshi Bharath, a long time social & civic activist, is now a Loksatta Candidate for MLA Malleswaram.
Dr Meenakshi Bharath is a Gynaecologist and Fertility specialist at Centre for Assisted Reproductive Techniques (CART), a green campaigner, an advocate for Clean Bangalore, a strident voice for garbage segregation and recycling and a relentless fighter to create visibility for the problems of voiceless people.
Dr Meenakshi believes that children and youth have the power to impact
Indiaâs future positively and works a lot with them. After so many years in public service, working on different domains such as voter list correction, solid waste management and health awareness campaigns, Dr Meenakshi feels privileged to have gained so many friends and well wishers, who have now become an invaluable part of her life.
Below is her wish for India ?  The Indiashe wants to see … rose petals being showered on RSS guys ??  WAH she shared on Facebook
Similarly for Rupa Rani , joins hand with all hindutva forces for holy cow. Rupa Rani is a pharmacy professional and passionate about governance and politics. As a member of Loksatta party, she believes that true change is possible when we change the political culture and the players.
Her website says as follows –Â http://www.shetrusts.org/
” Life without liberty is like a body without spirit ” !
Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. No real social change has ever been brought about without a revolution… revolution is but thought carried into action. Â My hope is that 10 years from now, after I’ve been across the street at work for a while, they’ll all be glad they gave me that wonderful vote.

What a stupid argument. So she shared one photo of Muslims showering rose petals on RSS cadres in another state. That makes her a threat to our religious society? Please tell me this is a satire site.
April 20, 2013 at 4:58 pm
ha ha… this article makes a very good joke!
so sorry for the writer đ but I do appreciate his effort in putting it together… very funny :):);)
April 20, 2013 at 8:47 pm
This is ridiculous. Please do not make kractivist an object of ridicule by posting such silly articles. Loksatta is the only party whose candidates are honest and practice clean politics. Phanisai has filed 750 RTI applications regarding various Govt projects. He has been a volunteer with India Against Corruption, and his RTI activism speeded up the completion of the Kadirenahalli underpass. Why hasn’t the article mentioned that? I am not even going to dignify the other two instances mentioned with a reaction. Please take down this article if you want kractivist to be taken seriously by readers.

ROFL! Nice jokes.
April 20, 2013 at 11:19 pm
Thanks all the three for supporting us . I have withdrawn my nomination as Bangalore south candidate now may be kractivisit will sleep in peace and will not write bad about my party and me without knowing facts and figures.
Thanks Kractivist you have succeeded in your motto but request you to check correct facts and figures before writing. I am not anti women and anti reservation. I am against misuse of Laws and dividing society based on caste for the benefit of politicians.
April 21, 2013 at 11:45 am
Which correct facts and figures ? Do you know that even SCs and STs from your so called economically stronger sections bear the brunt of caste based discrimination ? How would you know if you choose to keep your eyes closed to it ?
It’s better you withdrew your nomination. It would have been far more unjust if someone who doesn’t know the real social setup of the country, with biased views, plunged into politics.

Kaiser..initially reservation was provisioned only for 10 years in our constitution but that has nver ended. Why is SC / Sts not empowered till now. Why do they need blanket reservation in every aspect? Actually this reservation is only a political gimmick that most of us fuel …not sure if you belong to SC / ST but I have seen how some families are taking these facilities for generations and some general caste people being oppressed…after 60 yrs of independence we need to stop dividing India based on caste / creed / religion etc…else we will never progress..

Lok satta party is no different from the other Hindutva parties ! They are just another avatar of the BJP-BD-RSS-VHP Nexus !
April 21, 2013 at 8:50 pm
I wonder if the Krack in Kractivism is what is very visible here?!
Putting up such ‘selectively’ chosen quotes… also, out of context and with self-serving explanations by the Krack, shows the malafide intentions clearly.
April 22, 2013 at 1:23 am
Good jokes by Kamayani Bali Mahabal.. :-).. Looks like u have been paid decently to make these threesome jokes… đ
I just checked Mr. Phanisai’s page and read about his works.. The way you have interpreted his views is silly to core.. He is against misuse of certain laws.. whats wrong in that.?
And about reservation…. What he says is absolutely right.. I myself being a SC, feel that reservation should be on based on economical status and not on caste & religion.. I am from a middle class family with good income levles. But still i get reservations, where as my close friends though they might be poorer, don’t get the benefits i get.. This is not just me or Mr. Phanisai saying this.. People across the nation have been debating about this issue.. So, wats wrong if Phanisai has put across his views.? Pls make some time and go thru his profile once again.. This is a kind request..
And whats wrong if someone likes to have religious harmony in our country..? Is there anything wrong.? Have u read what that elderly women meenakshi bharath has written there above in the comment… Pls read with ur eyes wide open..
And any thing wrong if u love cattle, cows..? Does that make u a religious fanatic..?
DOWN WITH YOUR KRACTIVISM…!
Get well sooooon…. đ
April 22, 2013 at 1:29 pm
hahahahahahaha your syaing DOWN WITH KRACTIVISM, infact gives it more credibility hahahahaha
and any way THE IMPACT REPORTED IN HINDU http://kractivist.wordpress.com/2013/04/21/with-anti-reservation-anti-women-comments-candidates-embarrass-loksatta-kractivism-impact/
One candidate asked to withdraw nomination, two others reprimanded. If what is aid was unrue loksaata party would not have acted against candidates đ
April 23, 2013 at 5:12 pm
So does it mean you have acheived a lot. In India we have prevailing misandry that promotes male hatred in the name of women empowerment. If women are equal why do they need benefits in everything?
April 22, 2013 at 6:25 pm
If a person is fighting for equal rights, is he a culprit? aren’t there women criminals, women paedophiles. why is it that article 14 included in the Indian constitution? If Mr.Phanisai would be anti-woman he would have sent his mother/sister to jail or ill treated them. If one person is fighting for equality don’t term him as anti-female. As someone mentioned earlier you might have paid handsomely to post such shallow articles which is full of idiotic stuff.

Whoever is the person who put through this article in the name of activism and what not he/she believed in should be surely vouching for Laxmi Puri; UN Women’s acting head’s version of democracy – India as democracy for women, by women, of women. Great going with your hegemonic mindset. Congratulations for winning the first round and many more round to win in future. Oh! yeah don’t forget to give special rights and reservations for Dalit Women when Indian becomes a democracy for women. And yeah we Indian men will be extinct from this subcontinent as Asiatic Cheetah may be by 2052 (symbolic here – exactly a century after last Wild Asiatic Cheetah was shot dead in India).
If the writer is female (I am sorry I have lost the ability to discern gender of the write gender from names on blogs off late on purpose) then please don’t expect men to come and repair your AC or repair the pump to bring in much more needed necessity water, which will be bought by paying all the gold jewelry you have hoarded by 2052. Kudos and Advance Congratulation in winning your freedom and democracy and way of life. Take care. At least I (the Indian men, or better still the men of this planet earth will survive in African or Peruvian Jungle or any natural place we can find to cheer your freedom and way life through old fashioned radio communication. Oh! but sorry I forgot you wouldn’t be able to tweet or status update on FB and chat as there wouldn’t be men to write codes and update software. Oh! yeah you wouldn’t be able to move around as oil wouldn’t be flowing in to Indian shores from oil drill platforms as men would have abandoned them far off in seas. May be you still would retain the ability to walk and sometimes run some middle distance. And yeah…., but I am refraining myself from writing, so that you can sleep in peace and I definitely don’t want to be accused of give you nightmares.
If you are a man by any chance more remote than photographing Higg’s Bososn, you need not worry, as you would definitely cheat your way through in our camp of men who actually fought for real gender equality (not based on whims and fancies but based on practicality and natural differences between women and men). We wouldn’t recognize you on purpose, because we also stand for humanity. But yeah please shut up when you reach our camp for survival, because you talk and inadvertently communicate your innermost feeling of destructive feminism and hegemonic democracy rooted only in rights without the concept of duties, some men among us wouldn’t be able to control their anger and throw you back into exile into the by then very beautiful country called India – a thriving and blissful democracy for women, by women, of women.
