gods-of-all-things lords-of-small-things protest-n-rally-addicts gathered
for anti-WTO march on 13 occupying themselves with fillers.
JNNURM answers precisely their purportedly pro-poor demands (in-situ slum
upgrading, implementation of national hawker policy, etc) besides their
desire to eliminate professional planning.
our matured democracy (pranab mukherji just said it is, at some media-do
on democracy-development-n-inclusion) indulges such purported protest by
purported people. also indulges MPs like Kuldeep Nayar (I did not know he
was MP) joining inane pastimes outside Parliament instead of representing
us inside. also indulges claims of continuing representation by raja-sahib
VP Singh PM for 9m 15 years ago and of extended representation by
*leaders* like Patkar. Hindu report has cute pic (obviously not of
thousands-of-people; the cop looks cute):

In another filler, ridge-bachao-andolan that Medha Patkar is to lead
against Vasant Kunj Malls or, rather, in support of illegal Ridge Park
between malls and Vasant Vihar (outside notified ridge, both justified by
orders of 96-97 in Supreme Court matters arising from a letter of Kuldeep
Nayar) has become yet again PIL in Supreme Court:

btw, Kuldeep Nayar lives in Vasant Vihar, where first LAP under
USAID-sponsored Bill (byelaw-reform!) is happening, by EFN Ribiero &
Associates:

the only thing that JNNURM, paltry incentive fund for all major cities to
reform, unequivocally does is delegitimize the planning profession. JNNURM
antics of eternally-eminent-elders who have done much to drive the
planning profession to whorehouse are disgusting. even pimps, I am sure,
would have more grace.
