  • Gadkari Scam “Not Wrong, Quit Business’

    In the wake of allegations of shadow individuals fronting BJP Gadkari’s Company,the RSS confirmed its support of Gadkari when the report of  Kejriwal surfaced by a terse statement that’ there is nothing for the RSS to say ,Gadkari has agreed for a probe.

    Now RSS ideologue Gurumurthy who is reported to have conducted an audit into the allegations against Gadkari has stated.

    BJP chief Nitin Gadkari should choose between his party post and his love for social enterprise to avoid conflict and embarrassment to the party in future even as he said he stood by the “legal and moral” clean chit he gave to Gadkari last week in connection with his alleged improper business deals.

    “I personally feel that no party president should be in business as that always invites problem and creates perception,” Gurumurthy said in a series of tweets.

    “I care very little whether Nitin remains president or not,” he tweeted, adding that his audit of Gadkari’s controversial businesses was done in good faith.

    Last week, the findings of Gurumurthy’s audit were used by the BJP to reaffirm its faith in Gadkari and quell the murmurs of dissent against him. On Tuesday, Gurumurthy seemed to be indicating that even though he had found Gadkari not to be in the wrong in connection with the allegations that surfaced in the media, the “perception” that has stuck with him is a “political problem” the BJP should deal with.”

    It is glaring that the constitution of the Companies that ploughed in funds into Gadkari’s Company are shady.

    The money trail indicates money laundering.

    It does not need an auditor to say

    An astute auditor like Gurumurthy finds nothing wrong in these transactions!

    Then why talk about morality of businessmen and politics?

    If Gadkari is clean Robert Vadra is cleaner.

    RSS, whither goest Thou?

    The Sangh Parivar and BJP denied on Monday that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi had a hand in encouraging the allegations that BJP chief Nitin Gadkari was involved in improper business practices.

    RSS veteran M G Vaidya fanned the perception of a power struggle within the BJP with his remarks on Sunday in a Marathi blog that the “needle of suspicion in the campaign against Gadkari points to Modi”. Both the Sangh and BJP rejected the “insinuation” Monday; Gadkari himself issued a statement saying the claim was “totally unfounded”.

    “The BJP completely rejects such insinuation,” Gadkari said, referring to Vaidya as a “senior journalist” and avoiding reference to his association with the RSS altogether. “All central leaders of the party and its chief minister have been working cohesively and unitedly for the cause of the party.

    We are fighting the Gujarat assembly elections with complete unity of purpose and total mutual confidence,” he added.

  • Gadkari’s Web of Bribes 2- Media Trial, Advani and Modi

    I received some comments for my post Nitin Gadkari‘s web of Bribes that I have been harsh in Gadkari’s case and that business expands and the bribe amount is not in tune with the IRB‘s growth.

    And Gadkari was not in power!

    BJP‘s Punj states that Gadkari has magnanimously ‘agreed to a probe knowing well that the investigating agencies will be hostile’

    And that it is only the media , specifically the TimesNow news channel that is providing more coverage for Gadkari than for Robert Vadra!

    As Arnob Goswamy put it, Mr.Punj has not  been watching the TimesNow.

    Advani and Gadkari.
    Advani and Gadkari_jpg.

    Facts.Timesnow filed an RTI application in August 2012 requesting information whether investigations were on the accusations of Gadkari in respect of alleged mismanagement/non transparent funds by his Company,Purti Group.

    The answer in No.

    Is this a Quid pro Quo?

    Of the addresses provided to the Registrar of Companies as Directors of the Companies who have invested Crores in Gadkari’s Company.,,,

    1.Gadkaris’ Driver is included.On checking up , the addressee was not found in the address.Further tracking led to another address where he was not available but his son confirmed that his father was a Director in Purti Sugar and Power and he was no longer associated with it.

    It also transpires that this Panse, the driver was the principal witness to a murder in a Car found in Gadkari’s Compound.

    2.Another Addresse was in Kolkata who denied his association with the Company but he was surprised that the PAN numbers his and his Family matches!

    3.Another Director is an Astrolger, whose wife denied her husband was any thing more than a Vaasthu expert.

    4.Two Companies were operating from a Chawl.-no board, nothing.

    5.One Company’s Corporate Head quarters is in a Chawl.

    6. Two Companies’ addresses were fakes.

    Now Mr. Advani barges in ,backed up by Sushma Swaraj,,Venkaiah Naidu,Anant  Kumar, stating that Gadkai has agreed to a Probe and would the Congress launch a probe into Vadra.?  Open Collusion?

    He adds a rider ‘ What is in question is  not Corruption but standards of Business’!

    This, from a man who went on Rath Yatra to weed out Corruption.

    Mr.Punj states that ‘this is a Media Trial’

    So what?

    So were,

    Bofors by Chitra Subramanian of The Hindu,

    2G by The Outlook and Tehelka,

    ISRO Antrix Devas by  Tehelka

    Thorium by Statesman.No action yet.

    CWG by TimesNow.

    These are fair for they targeted  Congress.

    Strange Logic.

    Advani-one understands -he needs desperately to block Narendra Modi becoming the Prime Ministerial Candidate…his coterie ditto.

    One of the greatest Men of integrity going awaste.

    Very Sad.

    TIMES NOW investigation unravels more details of Nitin Gadkari’s company under scanner. Investigation reveals more fake addresses, more dubious directors, drivers, and astrologers made directors of Gadkari’s firms. TIMES NOW tracks down driver-turned-director.

    Watch.

  • Nitin Gadkari’s Web of Bribes

    Nitin Gadkari, president of BJP, is being accused, with substance , of getting kick backs being invested in his Company Purthi Group by Ideal Road Builders.

    Ideal Road Builders.

     

    When he was the PWD Minister in Mumbai, he is said to have favored IRB by way of Contracts worth 66 Crore.

     

    Look at the way he defends himself to NDTV-‘It is not wrong to accept money from some body who had been benefited-I am the most Popular Politician , I have raised over 4000 Crore’.

    purti-group-logo.gif
    Purti Group.

     

    Is it the reason why he is quiet on Maharashtra Irrigation Scam?( read my blog on this).

     

    Most of the addresses of his company directors are fakes.

     

    17 addresses from the same house!

     

    Some of them exist only on emails.

     

    Gadkaris’ driver is MD of Gadkari’s Company!

     

    Look at his web of deceit.

     

    Worth probing if there is any link between him Jayaswal and Coalgate scam as well.

     

    Mr Gadkari was the Public Works Department Minister of a Shiv Sena-BJP government in Maharashtra in 1995-99, when a company called Ideal Road Builders was awarded hefty contracts. Ideal did remarkably well in those years – its turnover rose from Rs.41 crore in 1996 to Rs. 67 crore in 1999.

    A little after Mr Gadkari demitted office, in 2001, Ideal Road Builders invested in Mr Gadkari’s Purti group of companies in 2001, picking up almost Rs. 1.85 crore of shares. Ideal Road Builders has since become a subsidiary of IRB Infra Developers Limited. IRB infra developers, in a response to a questionnaire from NDTV, said in an email, “Ideal Road Builders Private Limited made an investment of Rs. 1.85 crore in equity shares of Purti Sakhar Karkhana in 2001. At that time, investment in sugar factory in Vidarbha region was felt to yield promising returns.” Mr DP Mhaiskar, the founder of the Ideal Road Builders, also invested in approximately Rs. 2 crore of shares. Together, they control about eight per cent of Purti Group.

    In financial year 2010, the Purti Group received a loan of 165 crores from Global Safety Vision, a company started by DP Mhaiskar. With this one loan, Purti was able to repay all its outstanding debt. Surprisingly, in its last regulatory filings Global Safety Vision had only 1 lakh paid up capital.

    Opponents allege that these loans and investments are quid pro quo. But Mr Gadkari today vehemently denied that, saying that he has not done any favours to Ideal Road Builders. He defended his ties with businessman and founder of Ideal Road Builders, DP Mhaiskar saying, “I can accept equity from anyone, there is nothing wrong. I am friends with Mr Mhaiskar and many contractors are my friends… Purti has losses of 64 crores, Mhaiskar loaned me 165 crores from his company, and I have repaid him 64 crores.” Meanwhile, no response was forthcoming from Mr DP Mhaiskar despite sending him two detailed questionnaires.

    But there are other questions about the investors of the Purti Group, which has eight group companies that range from power, sugar, ethanol, alcohol, bio diesel among others.

    NDTV’s investigation found many ‘mystery’ owners and investors. While the total share capital of the company is Rs. 68 crore, almost Rs. 50 crore comes from about 18 such companies. In other words, these companies own 70 per cent of Purti. Mr Gadkari, who is shown as Chairman on the company’s website, only owns about 200 shares.

    When we set out to find these companies and its directors across various cities we hit a dead end. Two of the firms – Swiftsol India and Earnwell Traders are registered at a chawl in the Mumbai suburb of Malad where there is no trace of any company. A family has been living there for over 20 years and have never heard of any such company. At another address on Hajibapu Road, again in Malad are the registered offices of Chariot Investrade, Regency Equifin and Leverage Fintrade but again all we find is a family who is clueless about these companies. These companies have made investments worth Rs. 17 crores in Purti. Similarly in Kolkata, our correspondent went looking for an office on MD Road and was told none exists. Tracing the directors of these companies – some of whom are common – too was futile.’

    Sudhakar Madke, a driver,  and Suresh Atram, a peon, working in firms set up by BJP MP Ajay Sancheti, said to be close to party chief Nitin Gadkari,  bought a flat each worth Rs 60 lakhs in the controversial Adarsh society, Times of India reported quoting an unnamed senior bureaucrat.

    Vishal Kedari, a vegetable vendor in Pune cantonment area, with an income of less than Rs 10,000 p.m., also bought a flat worth Rs 60 lakh in Adarsh society, the report said.

    In his deposition before the commission probing the Adarsh scam, Sudhakar Madke, who has never visited Mumbai, submitted that he had been granted an unsecured loan of Rs 60 lakh by his employer.  Similarly, Atram also secured a Rs 60 lakh loan from Sancheti.

    The report said, Sancheti’s firm extended unsecured loans to 10 persons for buying a flat each in Adarsh society, and in return, secured undertakings from them, saying that in the event they were unable to repay the loan, the flats would automatically be transferred to Sancheti’s firm.

    “Our information is that Madke, Atram and Kedari came to know that they were owners of the flats only after the Adarsh scam rocked the nation”, the bureaucrat told TOI.(India TV News)
