  • Modi’s Land Sale To Adani Questions To Congress

    Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi have accused Narendra Modi of selling  450000 acres of Land to Adani Group at the price of a Tea, Rs.1.

     

    The business of Adani need Central Government approval , The Finance Ministry.

    The Finance Ministry has objected to  Adani’s Business,

     

    ”

    Earlier this month, the finance ministry objected to its Rs 4,000 crore joint venture project with the Gujarat government for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal within Adani-promoted Mundra Special Economic Zone (SEZ).

    As a direct fall out of this objection, the Board of Approval (BoA) for SEZ in its meeting held on April 3, has kept the final approval to the proposal “in abeyance”. This comes at a time when the stock valuation of the Adani group has touched an all-time high.

    Documents of the IMG (inter-ministerial group) with The Indian Express show that the Adani group had requested co-developer status for the Gujarat government-led Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation (GSPC) Ltd for establishing an LNG terminal, storage and re-gasification facilities…

    The finance ministry, explaining its stand on the business model, said, “There appears no justification for providing duty concessions on inputs or capital goods that will be used for these operations…the proposal does not envisage any physical export out of the country…further, the location of the SEZ, whether in processing or non-processing area, has also not been clarified…therefore, any decision of the BoA must address these issues in relation to the proposal.”

    Previously, the expert appraisal committee of the ministry of environment and forest (MoEF) had given consent to the project in February 2014.

    The Adani group and GSPC had entered an agreement in August 2013 for establishing a 2.95 lakh square meter facility; the proposal was also cleared by Cabinet Committee on Investments.”

    Now Adani is in the following businesses.

    “

    The GAPL and the SEZ venture was merged before IPO so GAPL does stand as an entity now. GAPL is also in talk with Orissa government for setting up an all weather port nearPOSCO project. MPSEZ is the largest private port in India.[citation needed]

    Ports controlled by Adani Group are:

    • Adani Mundra Port
    • Adani Hazira Port
    • Adani Murmugoa Coal Terminal
    • Adani Vizag Coal Terminal Pvt. Ltd.
    • Adani Abbot Point Terminal Pvt. Ltd.
    • Adani Group

    All these need Central Government approval.

     

    Why did they not object the proposal on this ground?

     

    How did Congress Chief Ministers gave away the lands to Adani group cheaper  Rates?

     

    Amid Rahul Gandhi’s ‘toffee’ barbs over giving land by the Gujarat government to the Adani group at throwaway prices, BJP has hit back saying the group got cheap land from earlier Congress-supported governments. 

    Records show the group first got wasteland in Mundra from the Congress-backed Chimanbhai Patel government in 1993 and then from another Congress-supported government headed by Shankersinh Vaghela in 1997. 

    The group subsequently got more wasteland from BJP governments headed by Keshubhai Patel in 1999 and Narendra Modi in 2005. While Gandhi has said that land given to Adani was of the size of Vadodara, the Ahmedabad-based group has got 7,350 hectares, as against Vadodara city’s area of 15,900 hectares. “

     

    ”

    “BJP’s chief campaigner is selling Narendra Modi model in the name of Gujarat. What is happening in Gujarat under this model? Sikhs living there since past 50 years were being forced to leave the state,” Sonia said while addressing an election rally in Malwa belt of Punjab. “May God please save this country from this model,” she said.

    She attacked the Akali Dal for joining hands with BJP and not raising its voice for the Sikhs in Gujarat. “Akalis rather than raising voice against them (BJP) are colluding with them and they are partners in this atrocity against Sikhs in Gujarat,” said Sonia. “In Gujarat every second five-year-old child is malnutritioned and those who get Rs. 11 per day are not considered below poverty line in Modi model,” she added.

    Sonia said that around 45000 acres of land in Gujarat had been given to one businessman at a cheap rate and under this model several people in the villages are still not getting potable water.

    Accusing BJP of adopting an ideology in which common man will be identified not by his capabilities and skills but by his religion, language and caste, she said, the saffron party’s ideology is of “hatred, narrow mindedness and consistent hunger to achieve power” at the centre.

    “Their (BJP) ideology wants to take the country on that path where nation’s entire power wrests with one person,” she said in an indirect reference to Narendra Modi. “They will take the country to a situation where the poor, weak and farmers will beg for their rights,” she said.(

  • Wife Children ‘Not Applicable’ Manmohan Singh Document

     

    Dr.Manmohan Singh, Prime Miniser of India, in an Affidavit filed to The Returning Officer for Rajya Sabha Elections , attested/accepted by a Commisioner of Oaths, Delhi, has declared  in the column marked ‘Names of Dependents’, as

    Hope it does not mean Not Available!

     

    This means that,

     

    1.The Commissioner of Oaths had signed this with out Manmohan Singh being present, which is a violation, or

     

    2.Manmohan Singh really means NA or Not Available

     

    3.He  does not have The permission to Declare or

     

    4.He had it filled up by some one,which is more likely, signed blindly

     

    or a combination of all these.

     

    Narendra  Modi married?

     

    ”

    BJP on  Saturday claimed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had not mentioned his wife’s name in the affidavit submitted along with nomination he filed as a Rajya Sabha candidate, as the party sought to blunt Congress’attack on Narendra Modi over his marital status.

    “This is Manmohan Singh’s affidavit that was put before the Rajya Sabha (Returning Officer). He has not put his wife’s name in that affidavit. Why should we talk about such issues?” BJP spokesman Ravishankar Prasad told a press meet here while waving a copy of what he claimed was the PM’s affidavit.

    Prasad did not say the affidavit was from which year, but Gujarat BJP leaders claimed it was filed in 2013 when Singh was re-elected to the Upper House of Parliament.

    “This country has been following a tradition that personal issues are not raised in public. His (Modi’s) elder brother made a statement that he had left his home and family life to serve the country,” he said.

    Prasad was answering a volley of questions related to Modi’s affidavit, submitted along with nomination paper filed from Vadodara Lok Sabha constituency, where for the first time he revealed he is married.

    Launching a counter-attack on Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi, who had on Friday referred to Modi’s personal life, Prasad said, “Rahul Gandhi’s understanding is very limited and people of the country have understood it.”

  • Modi Gujarat Riots Facts Lies Documents

     

    In the Gujarat Riots Muslims were killed and Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat.

     

    Despite the Supreme Court giving a clean chit to Modi stating that there are no grounds to say that Narendra Modi was involved in the riots, stories

    abound on Gujarat Riot.

     

    Gujarat Riots and Modi.
    Narendra Mod and Gujarat Riots

     

    Let’s see how valid are these spins.

     

    1.Spin-1.2000 Muslims were killed.

     

    Fact-254 Hindus and 790 Muslims were killed

     

     

    Government’s Reply in the Rajya Sabha.

     

    The Central government on Wednesday informed the Rajya Sabha that 254 Hindus and 790 Muslims were killed in the post Godhra riots in Gujarat.

    Minister of State for Home Affairs Sriprakash Jaiswal said a total of 223 people were reported missing, 2,548 sustained injuries during the riots in 2002.

    He said the government paid Rs 1.5 lakh to the next of kin of each person killed and Rs 5,000, Rs 15,000, Rs 25,000 and Rs 50,000 for the injured.

    The amount for the injured was based on the extent of injury, the minister added.(rediffnews)-check Rajya Sabha records link.

    2.Only Muslims were butchered -Lie.

    Fact.

    While Muslims were killed without provocation in Naroda Patiya,Gulbarg Society, Naroda Gram, Sadarpura, Ode and other places,Hindus were killed

    unprovoked in Himmatnagar, Danilimda, and Sindhi Market and other areas of Ahmedabad,.

    (http://archives.digitaltoday.in/indiatoday/20020415/states.html)

    3.Entire Gujarat was burning.

    Fact-

    Out of the state’s 18,600 villages, 240 municipal towns, and 25 district headquarters, only 60 places saw riots.

    If one includes the two big cities of Ahmedabad and Vadodara, by the wildest stretch of imagination, only 2 % of the state can be assumed to have been

    burning. Only 40 out of the state’s 18,600 villages saw riots.

    4.Police was indifferent and not deployed in full strength.

    Fact-

    “Ahmedabad has a police force of 6,000, including 1,500 armed personnel. In addition, the entire state has just four companies (530 jawans) of the Rapid Action Force (RAF) of which only one company could be spared for Ahmedabad. Considering that the mobs that simultaneously surfaced at nearly half a dozen places numbered from 2,000 to 10,000, the forces proved woefully inadequate. At one point on February 28 there were at least 25,000 people targeting the Muslim localities in Ahmedabad alone.”

     

    See link: http://www.indiatoday.com/itoday/20020318/cover.shtml

     

    Even in its infamous article misquoting Narendra Modi as having said “Every action has equal and opposite reaction” (Which Narendra Modi never did),The Times of India reported, “The sparse police presence looked like a drop in the ocean of violence.”

     

    This despite the deployment of the entire police force. The Hindu also reported the next day that on 28 February “Mob fury reached its crescendo” and “The situation seemed to slip out of hand” and “Police were outnumbered by the rioters“. Same was the report of The Telegraph, The Tribune.

     

    5.Only Muslims were affected.

     

    Reality.

     As early as 5 March 2002, out of the 98 relief/ refugee camps set up in the state, 85 were for the Muslims and 13 were for the Hindus. As on 17 March 2002, as per the report of a newspaper as anti-BJP as The Times of India, more than 10,000 Hindus were rendered homeless in Ahmedabad alone.

    As on 25 April 2002, out of the 1 lakh 40 thousand refugees, some 1 lakh were Muslims and 40 thousand were Hindus.

    None other than Times Now channel admitted in 2009 quoting from Agencies that 40,000 Hindus were also rendered homeless in the Gujarat riots, i.e. Muslims threw out as many as 40,000 Hindus in Gujarat even after Godhra, just like they did in Kashmir where lakhs of Hindus left the valley

     

    6.Sangh Parivar organized the Riots.

    Truth.

     

    ed and the Rapid Action Force and the CRPF jawans could not control the violence. The Hindu also reported the next day that the situation seemed to slip out of control. Ahmedabad Police received 3,500 calls instead of the normal 200. It was beyond the means of the Sangh Parivar- or anybody to organise mobs on such a large-scale in Ahmedabad within 24 hours.

     

     

    However, the VHP could have easily organised riots in many of the 10,000 villages inGujarat where it had units, either on February 28, or days after that.

    On February 27 occurred the Godhra massacre. That same day the RSS gave a statement saying- “RSS condemns the killings and calls for restraint”. The Hindu also reported in its report on Feb 28 that the “RSS appealed to the people to exercise restraint”.

    The then RSS Joint General Secretary Madan Das Devi said-“Now is the test of the patience of the Hindu society…These killings are a ploy of the terrorists to create riots…”. This was reported in weekly Organiser, the weekly mouthpiece of the RSS, in its issue dated 10 March 2002, which covered events till 27 February.  In the 10 March 2002 issue itself, two RSS leaders- Madan Das Devi and Mohan Bhagwat gave statement’s asking the Hindu society to maintain peace. The Telegraph reported on 28thFebruary 2002-

    “The RSS rallied behind the Prime Minister, pleading for restraint. Joint general secretary Madan Das Devi said: “The tolerance of the Hindu society is a litmus test. Instead of taking the law into their hands, people should cooperate with the state government in dealing with the serious situation.”

  • Elections 2014 India

    With an Electoral population of 831 Millions, Eletions for The central Government is being conducted in States and Union Territories for 543 Lok Sabha

    (Federal Government seats) seats. ( between 7April and 12 May 2014).

     

    (This is an article I wrote for a French Magazine, taking into account the International Audience)

     

    The Cost to the Election Commission which regulates and conducted Elections is Rs, 35 Billion.

     

    India, Lok Sabha Elections are scheduled in April May 2014
    India Election 2014.Image Credit . Ap News Corner.

     

    The Political Parties will be spending US $ 5 Billion, second highest in the world after the US Presidential election 2012.

     

    (This does not take into account the Black Money being spent by the parties and the candidates)

     

    As general elections draw closer, ‘unaccounted money’ may account for over one-third of total Rs 30,000 crore estimated to be spent on these polls, a study says.

     

    *(Rs I Crore in dollars is 214,431)

    While various national and regional parties are estimated to spend Rs 8,000-10,000 crore for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, candidates at their

    individual level may spend a whopping amount of Rs 10,000-13,000 crore, as per the study conducted by research think-tank CMS.

     

    These figures include both official and unaccounted expenses.

     

    Till the 10th of April, the Election Commission has caught about Rs,500 Crore.

     

    The Election Commission has ordered seizure of money over Rs.Ten lakhs without proper documentation; Banks, Airports,Railroads ,Bus Stations are n the watch

     

    The campaign trail is vast and all the known forms and some novel methods are used.

     

    Internet ads, blogs,Paid News by TV Channels and Print Media,Media Advertising,Mobile Calls, SMS,Posters,Buntings,Leaflets, .. all tricks are resorted to.

     

    Unique style of garnering votes in Tamil Nadu are,

     

    Dropping a 500 Rupee Note in an Aarthi plate(traditional way of welcoming a visitor, where a plate with Turmeric powder and Vermillion is dissolved in water and shown to the Guest)

     

    Attending personal functions like the birth of a baby, Naming the child, attending marriages, and even Death and offering Cash or donations in kind.

     

    Offering Cheap country liquor, Biryani, a none veg delicacy free of cost.

     

    Carting people to attend Party Public meetings in Lorries,Trucks, offering them Food, Liquor and Cash .

     

    Visiting people at Home and offering them cash.

     

    Falling at the feet of Elders and at times even children!

     

    The Ruling Party at the centre in the UPA(United Progressive Alliance ) led by the century old Indian National Congress.

     

    It has a Coalition of State Parties with their own agenda.

     

    Against this is the NDA(National Democratic Alliance), led by the Opposition The BJP, Bharatiya Janata Party.

     

    It also has a patch work of Regional parties.

     

    Then we have a motley group of Third front , which belongs to none of the groupings above and are awaiting the results to form a Coalition sans the Congress and BJP.

     

    The Ruling Party is besieged with scams galore starting with Rs.i,86,000 Lakh crore 2 G Spectrum allotment in Telecom Sector,Helicopter Scam involving crores of Rupees,ISRO (Space Agency),Housing irregularities and many more.

     

    Also there were instances of moral turpitude by the senior party members.

     

    The economy , despite claims that the Macro economy is performing well, the price of essentials are shooting up.

     

    There is a Prime Minister who wields no power but the Government is controlled by the leader of the Congress party, an Italian woman , the wife of Late Rajiv Gandhi, ex-Prime Minister of India.

     

    The Family has been ruling India for three generations starting from Jawaharlal Nehru, through Indira Gandhi, his daughter and by her son Rajiv Gandhi.

     

    Now the party has indicated that Rahul Gandhi, son of Rajiv and Sonia Gandhi as the Prime Ministerial Candidate.

     

    The Opposition has announced Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat, of the BJP party.

     

    Curiously India does not have a Presidential form of Government.

     

    It has a Federal set up where the leader of the major party in the Elections outings ,shall form the Government!

     

    The reason is that the opposition has no Policies different from the Ruling party.

     

    But the BJP off and on plays the Hindu Card, claiming that the Hindus are not treated equally in what is essentially Hindu Country , with the Muslims.

     

    The ruling Congress party plays the Muslim card .

     

    And both the parties play the Caste Card regularly.

     

    Even now, the candidates are selected based on the caste considerations, that is the candidate belonging to the caste of the Majority voters are selected.

     

    Both the parties are equally shy of giving equal opportunities for women despite proclamations to the contrary.

     

    On the security issues there is no difference between both the parties.

     

    Or On the Economic Policies.

     

    So each party is accusing the other of corruption .

     

    While the Congress is harping on Stability factor , the BJP is calling the Congress as Corrupt.

     

    Then the deciding factor will be the regional parties, who can decide the formation of the Government when the results are likely to be fragmented.

     

    Though the opinion polls have revealed a high gain for BJP and the lowest ever seats for the Congress, no party, except the BJP shall get simple majority.

     

    This would necessitate the support of the regional parties.

     

    They shall go in for their pound of flesh in terms of Cabinet berths!

     

    And they have their regional agenda which will be difficult to fulfil in a federal setup, ( the regional parties also know this,)

     

    The major States that have more Lok Sabha seats,shall decide the formation of the Government are UP (80),West Bengal (42),Maharashtra(48),AP (420, Tamil Nadu,Bihar (40 each)

     

    The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu is nurturing the ambitions of becoming the Prime Minister if both the congress and BJP do not get simple majority.

     

    And the Chief Minister of Bihar too has this ambition.

     

    Therefore the result is likely to be , as of now, the BJP might get more seats way ahead of Congress , yet shall fall short of majority.

     

    The Regional parties might play a vital role.

     

    Yet the charisma of the BJP prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi might sweep the polls because of the inexperience of Rahul Gandhi who shoots himself in the mouth..

     

    Interesting News.

     

    Election is on for one seat for Mizoram on 11 April.

     

    Twenty-two Villagers near Delhi travelled by rowing a boat across the Yamuna River,walked for 4 kilometres to cast their votes, covering a total of 90km on 10 April.

     

    In Tamil Nadu, a Party’s candidate was withdrawn to accommodate an opposition party candidate, who joined the Party 48 hours before!

     

    An actor who was a Leader of the opposition in Taml Nadu, beat up the candidate in the last Elections in Tamil Nadu.

     

     

    He usually comes to Public Meetings roaring drunk and does not even remember the Candidates’ Name.!

     

    Many actors are in the fray now, but no heavy weights now.

     

    Four actors have become Chief Ministers and were very powerful and popular and in fact one is now the powerful chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and

    a contender for the Prime Minister’s Post.

    The issue of one’s  Marriage,

     

    Can this create a National Furor?

     

    Narendra Modi the Chief Minister and PM candidate , India
    Narendra Modi

     

    Yes,

     

    If you happen to be one Narendra Modi, the Gujarat Chef Minister and the BJP candidate for Prime Minister’s Post.

     

    Mode admitted to having been married to one Yashoda Ben.

     

    The comment by Karunanidhi, the DMK Supremo,speaking in an Election rally on 11th April at Chidambaram,

     

    ‘News about Modi’s has come just now,

     

    I do not know what else will come out after he s elected”

     

    is amusing.

     

    Karunanidhi is a man who lives with two women,one, legally wedded wife, and another a ‘Thunaivi’, meaning Companion.

     

    We have better words n English to describe,

     

    He remarked at the time of the Birth of Kanimozh, his daughter through his ‘Thunavi’, on being asked about a child having been delivered in Isabella

     

    Hospital, Chennai by PG.Karuthiruman Congress Leader in The Tamil Nadu Assembly, and who was the father of the child , as the lady who delivered

    He spends his days in both the houses,one of his wife and another?

    Would he please comment on Sonia Gandhi‘s father having been a Nazi or the information yet unconfirmed as for as I am concerned, that Sonia Gandhi was an Escort?

     

    Or that she smuggled out Indian Antiques?

     

     

    Read them in the Links provided below.

     

    The Congress’s Digvijaya Singh and the party’s pan-India machinery, women activists ranged against Modi, and all his staunch opponents have attacked Modi over this.

    This round, it seems, will go to Modi.

    “The self-confessed strong man doesn’t deserve any sympathy for inviting attacks, personal or political, but the facts of Modi’s child marriage is more of a tragedy than a scandal that his critics are portraying,” says Vikram Vakil, a Surat-based senior journalist who first scooped Modi’s marriage way back in 1993 for the Gujarati political weekly Abhiyaan I had founded.

    Here is a defence of Modi that an apolitical friend, based in Ahmedabad, offered to Rediff.comafter the controversy erupted. He refused to be named in this column, and says he came to know about the marriage in 2003.

    “By liberal standards, all individuals are free to have their own choice of partner. The family, parents or society can’t impose their choice on a teenage son or daughter as it happened in the Modi-Jashodaben case,” this friend of Modi says.

    “If 17-year-old Modi wanted to get out of the marriage, which was imposed on him by a socially backward society and his family, it’s not only ethical but his right to walk out of the forced marriage. Feminists are against the obnoxious old idea of pativrata nari. In hitting out at Modi, they will be wary of endorsing Jashodaben‘s stand too,” argues Modi’s friend from Ahmedabad.

    Vakil, otherwise a staunch critic of Modi, defends him on this count. “Modi’s marriage was an accident of destiny. It was a kind of a Shakespearean tragedy where neither the man nor woman can be blamed.
