AICC GeneralSecretary Ajay Maken toldreporters that instead oftaking steps on a warfooting to check theoutbreak, government hasslashed the budget of theHealth ministry by Rs 6,000crore. He claimed that therewas paucity of vaccinationand tablets for the treatmentof the flu even in the nationalcapital and protective gearfor the doctors and nurseswere hardly available.Claiming that there were notesting laboratories in

government hospitals, hesaid that patients are beingcharged in the range of Rs5,000 to Rs 9,000 for thetests in private facilities.Maken also accused thegovernment of failing tolaunch an awareness drivethrough the media to makepeople aware about the‘dos and don’ts’. Helamented that this washappening at a time whenthere have been full pageadvertisements innewspapers “to promotepersonalities”. Latestreports say the death toll hasrisen to 485 with maximumnumber of casualties

reported from Rajasthan andGujarat. Maken alsoannounced a freevaccination camp for AICCreporters from tomorrow.rime Minister NarendraModi is believed to havebeen briefed by HealthMinister J P Nadda todayon the spurt of swine flucases in the country after thethe number of casualties dueto the disease touched 485.Although, there was noofficial word about whattranspired in the meeting,sources said Nadda metModi right after the UnionCabinet meeting in themorning at South Block toupdate and brief him aboutthe swine flu situation.“There was an appointmentof the Health Minister withthe Prime Minister right afterthe Cabinet,” a source in theHealth Ministry said. Themeeting comes after 6,298cases have been reported all

Aadmi Party (AAP) in thenational arena. The positionwould be as an alternativeto the BJP in the “secular”space. Among the wordswe saw him use frequentlywere “ahankar” (arroganceor ego) and varioussynonyms for god –“Ishwar, Bhagwan andKhudrat”. Both haveenormous significance. The“ahankar” he was talkingabout was what brought himdown in the Lok Sabha

elections, and the same“ahankar” was what got theBJP and Narendra Modibadly burnt in the recentDelhil elections. Kejriwal’sreferences to “ahankar”were a tacit realisation thatthe unexpectedly largemandate given to him wasas much the result of theBJP’s gross mistakes as theAAP’s own positiveprogrammes. He knowsthat the public can as soonturn against him – as it did

in the Lok Sabha elections– as it turned against BJPthis time. He knows thatgetting 67/70 seats in theassembly is no guaranteethat the public will always bewith him. His references to“Ishwar”, “Bhagwan” and“Kudrati karishma” is yetanother acknowledgementthat while AAP workedreally hard for this victory, itcould not have made such ahuge splash without luckplaying its part. It is also hisway of saying “touchwood.” In India’s history,parties which receivedextraordinary mandateshave always been in troubletwo years later. Cases inpoint: Indira Gandhi after her1971 victory, the Janataparty after its 1977mandate, and Rajiv Gandhiafter his 1984 sweep.Modi’s mandate in 2014, incontrast, is smaller than allof them, and especially incomparison to Kejriwal’sthis month.

The mysterious Rs2 crore ($323,000) that the Aam AadmiParty (AAP) received in donations last year has triggereda frenzied search for answers. Where did this moneycome from and how could a party founded on principlesof economic transparency accept this cash?For now, the issue has become a game of news cycles.The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress aretrying their best to ensure that the focus stays on themoney trail for as long as possible. Meanwhile, the AAPhas attempted to distance itself from the recipients andwants to deflect the argument to a case of the pot callingthe kettle black.In the heat of the Delhi elections, no one is debating thedirty secret of Indian elections: Political funding—or tobe more specific, disclosure of interest. Till now therelationship between money and politics has been similarto that between an alcoholic and his bottle. Public in denialbut impossible to live without. The fantastic amounts ofmoney required to fight a competitive campaign make itimportant for everyone to know where the money iscoming from. Historically, parties were financed bycontributions from friends, family and supporters orphilanthropic grants. While corporate donations werelegal, The Representation of the People’s Act (pdf) in1951 created limits on how much could be spent by acandidate. It was only in 1968 that corporate donationsto political parties were banned. While the officialresponse explained that it was to prevent black money inpolitics and from corporate funding subverting commoninterests, the popular view has been that the move wasto block the rise of C Rajagopalachari’s Swatantra Partyand its right-wing economic agenda. To promotetransparency in funding, in 1979, political parties werepermitted to claim exemptions from income and wealthtaxes, as long as they filed returns listing donations ofRs10,000 and above, along with disclosing the identityof the donors. But tax exemption was not a significantenough incentive to disclose funding.In 1985, the Companies Act once again allowedcorporates to fund political parties, subject to disclosurein accounts and donation not exceeding 5% of the averagenet profit for the last five years. To bolster disclosure ofdonations, corporate funders were given income taxexemptions. However, there is a greater interest inmaintaining funding anonymity rather than taking advantageof tax exemptions. In a fragmented political landscape,entities may not want to be associated with any one party.Moreover, the sources of funds are often illegitimate.This has created a vicious cycle of political funding:Funding received through numerous small valuedonations—or in some cases, the funds being providedto numerous associated entities that remain off the booksof the political parties. For example, the Bahujan SamajParty has never had any funding above Rs20,000. Nearly90% of the Congress’ income and 75% of the BJP arethrough donations below the disclosure limit—andtherefore not accounted for. And some industries,especially construction, have shown a high correlation toelectoral periods. A 2011 study of cement usage in Indiashowed that “cement consumption does exhibit a politicalbusiness cycle,” corroborating the quid pro quorelationship between the industry and politicians.

Raising temperatures aheadof the much awaited India-Pakistan Cricket WorldCup opener, Indian cricketteam opener Rohit Sharmahas insisted that the pressurewould be on Pakistan ratherthan them in their opening

match on Sunday inAdelaide. Pakistan wouldattempt to break theirWorld Cup drought againstreining champions India intheir tournament opener onSunday. But Sharma feelsthat the heat is on their arch-

rivals Pakistan. Sharma saidthat they know what theyhave to do to be at theirbest, insisting that thepressure would be onPakistan. He claimed thatPakistan are the ones whohave not won a gameagainst India in the WorldCup, insisting that his sidewould try and use it to theiradvantage, News.com.aureported. However,Pakistan have won the 1992World Cup in Australia.India lost 2-1 at home toPakistan two years ago andby one wicket in their Asiaclash showdown at Dhakalast March where Rohitcontributed a half-century.However, India crushedPakistan by eight wickets intheir rain affected ChampionsTrophy meeting in June 2013,the report added.

Cricket World Cup: Finch, Marshdominate as Australia thrash England

Australia's phenomenalperformance in their firstmatch in the World Cupunderlined why so manyexpect them to be returningto the MCG in six weeks'time to duel for the trophy.They showed grit to steadyfrom a precarious 3-70, flairto surge to 9-342 from their50 overs, and then utterruthlessness with the balland in the field to leaveEngland reeling at 6-92,including the wicket of losingcaptain Eoin Morgan for a

third consecutive duckversus Australia, to thedelight of the vast majorityof the crowd of 84,336.From that point, the 22ndover, England's only realisticincentive was survival, tolimit the net run-rate damagewith which they will besaddled. Most plaudits withthe bat were owing to AaronFinch, whose 135 wasespecially galling forEngland because he wasdropped on zero by ChrisWoakes. Finch and George

Bailey (55 off 69) gotAustralia back on track witha stand of 146. Even thoughboth departed by the 39thover, they had ensuredAustralia had sufficient. Thenat the death Glenn Maxwell(66 off 40) and Brad Haddin(31 off 14) ensured thescoring rate did not flag.They were primarilyresponsible for Australiaamassing 105 runs in the last10 overs to lift them to theirhighest MCG score, and thesixth best anywhere at home.

World Cup 2015: Sri Lanka’smiserable run in Kiwi-land continues

It was inevitable. Sri Lankalosing another match againstNew Zealand in NewZealand. It has been 57 dayssince they landed in theKiwi-land and have playedTests and ODIs. But thisloss will matter more thanany of the previous ones. AWorld Cup opening matchsets your momentum for thetournament and Sri Lankawere on the wrong side ofit. (Full Coverage| Venues |Fixtures) New Zealand onthe other hand showed that

they have done theirhomework and they have ateam that is ready for everychallenge. In this WorldCup, they have become thefavourites from theirtraditional tag of darkhorses.When captainAngelo Mathews won thetoss and elected to bowl firston an overcast day, bowlersshould have backed thedecision and provided theircaptain an earlybreakthrough. ButBrendon McCullum had

other plans. He blasted 59off 46 balls, all thanks tosome list-less bowling.Their frontline pacer,Lasith Malinga failed andhow dearly. He conceded84 runs from his 10 overswhile Nuwan Kulasekaraconceded 78 from eightovers. Malinga concededmore than 80 runs in anODI for the sixth time onSaturday. It is surprisingbecause no other bowlerhas done that more thanthrice.

New Zealand conditions suit Indiamore than Australia: Amarnath

Former India cricketerMohinder Amarnathbelieves that conditions inNew Zealand will suit Indianbatsmen better than those inAustralia at the 2015 WorldCup which starts onSaturday. "The conditions inNew Zealand will provideIndian batsmen moreopportunity and options. Itwill suit their style becauseNew Zealand wickets -though they may seem so -are not as quick asAustralian wickets. Plus

smaller grounds will comehandy for Indian batsmen,"Amarnath, who was part ofthe 1983 World Cup-winning India squad, toldIANS in an interview. Indiaplay their first four WorldCup league fixtures inAustralia, after which theytravel to New Zealand toplay two matches againstminnows Ireland andZimbabwe March 10 and14, respectively. Amarnath,who is famously known forclinching the World Cup-

winning wicket in the 1983final against the West Indies,said one of the reasons forIndia's failure in Australia hasbeen the inability of thebatsmen to adjust to theconditions DownUnder."The way Indianplayers bat against quickbowlers, specially inAustralia, they have notbeen able to adjust to thepace and bounce. Probablythey are trying to play toomany shots which they havenot been able to playsuccessfully because of theirstyle, balance andtechnique," said the 64-year-old, who was Man-of-the-Series at the 1983World Cup.India have beenin Australia for more thantwo-and-a-half monthsduring which they lost thefour-match Test series 0-2,lost all games and failed tomake the final of the One-DayInternational (ODI) tri-seriesagainst Australia andEngland. More recently, theywere once again hammeredby Australia in a World Cupwarm-up fixture by 106 runs.

Indian bowling won’t lack bite due toIshant’s absence: Sourav Ganguly

Former India captainSourav Ganguly does notthink Indian bowling wouldlack any bite in absence ofsenior-most speedsterIshant Sharma who hasbeen ruled out of theCricket World Cupbecause of a knee injury.“One player’s absencewon’t make much of adifference. The rest will alsohave to bowl well,” said thec r i c k e t e r - t u r n e d -commentator in Kolkata,before flying to Australia forthe ICC World Cupcommencing on Saturday.Ishant apparently sustainedthe injury during the BoxingDay Test and went on to

miss the final Test of the five-match series that India lost0-2. The bowlingdepartment has come in fora lot of flak in the difficultbuild up to the World Cupand Indian ace seamerBhuvneshwar Kumar alsoappears to be carryingsome niggle in his ankle.Citing example of Aussieskipper Michael Clarke, the41-year-old cricketer saidunlike a batsman it’s difficult

for a bowler to come backin shape quickly. “I don’tthink Ishant hid his injury.When a player gets injured,you give him time to recover.Michael Clarke hasrecovered. He (Clarke)could recover because he’sa batsman. He might nothave, if he was a bowler.There’s a differencebetween a batsman andbowler,” said Ganguly.Batting too is yet to click asa whole, something thatbecame apparent in the Tri-series with Australia andEngland that followed theTest series as India lost threeconsecutive matches in thebuild-up to the mega event.
