the Vadra-DLF Deals.
.
Over the past few weeks, yet another phase of corruption, corporate loot and money laundering has been revealed - from the.
dubious land deals of Robert Vadra and DLF, to the machinations of Nitin Gadkari's Purti group, the blatant money laundering.
by HSBC to help the likes of Mukesh Ambani and Anu Tandon to stash away unaccounted money in Swiss banks, and the.
UPA's shameful moves to allow Reliance to make windfall profits at the cost of the state exchequer - the saga of corporate.
loot, aided and abetted by the nexus of corporate houses and the ruling classes, continues unabated..
.
Ø We now know that real estate giant DLF lent hundreds of crores of interest-free "soft loans" to Robert Vadra, thus enabling.
him to amass huge assets. Various companies controlled by Vadra succeeded in acquiring 29 high-value properties by.
2010, armed with loans and advances of Rs. 80 crore from DLF. In addition, the recent revelations raise serious questions.
on the credibility and the business transactions of Vadra dubious companies (Sky Light Hospitality, Sky Light Realty, Blue.
Breeze Trading, Artex, Real Earth Estates and North India IT Parks)..
.
Ø Nitin Gadkari, President of the BJP, has been exposed as the kingpin of a murky web of dubious business interests..
Some 18 companies purported to be investors in Gadkari's sugar and power company, have false and non-.
existent addresses; and several of these companies name members of Gadkari's personal staff (such as his driver and.
astrologer). The findings indicate that the president of the main national "Opposition" party also presides over an empire.
of shell companies that are whitewashing black money!.
.
Ø The UPA has yet again shown its undying commitment to protect corporate profiteering by shunting out Jaipal.
Reddy from the petroleum ministry. A few years back, Mani Shankar was removed by UPA as a result of Reliance's.
diktats, and now the Ambanis have repeated this "feat"! RIL's CEO Mukesh Ambani has just emerged as the world's.
richest Indian for the fifth year in a row - an achievement that has much to do with the largesse of natural resources he.
has been able to command through patronage from the ruling political establishment. What was Reddy "punished".
for?? According to reports, he had held RIL accountable for violations of commitments relating to the KG basin gas as.
revealed by CAG and had pushed for another CAG audit of RIL. He reportedly blocked RIL's demand for a revision in gas.
price before the due date of 2014 - RIL wanted to increase the gas prices from $4.2 per mm Btu to a whopping $.
14.2 mm Btu. According to some reports, he got rid of bureaucrats appointed by Deora, known to be close to Reliance..
.
And, in order to protect Reliance's profiteering, the Prime Minister and his office have blatantly come out in defence.
of Reliance! In fact, the Oil ministry has repeatedly been postponing a proper comprehensive CAG audit of Reliance's.
operations in the Krishna-Godavari basin..
.
Ø It has now been revealed that the multinational bank HSBC has been openly laundering money - helping the.
super-rich corporations and individuals in India to quietly stash away money in Swiss banks and thus avoid.
paying taxes. In 2006, the Ambani brothers had Rs. 100 crore each in Swiss accounts, Congress MP from Unnao.
Annu Tandon had Rs. 125 crore, including another Rs.125 crore in the name of her late husband Sandeep, Jet Airways.
chairman Naresh Goyal had Rs. 80 crore, an account of Reliance Industries Ltd. had a balance of Rs. 500 crore and.
another Reliance company, Motech Software Private Ltd., showed a balance of Rs. 2,100 crore..
.
These recent revelations show the extent of corporate loot in this country - a loot in which the UPA government as well as a.
so-called "Opposition" BJP is equally complicit. The RSS (who oversaw the appointment of Gadkari as BJP President in the first.
place) and the BJP have defended Gadkari's dubious deals; in the same vein as the Congress defence of Vadra, L K Advani.
has suggested that the allegations against Gadkari do not amount to corruption, but are merely a case of debatable "standards.
of business"! And the saffron `Baba' Ramdev, now campaigning for the BJP in Gujarat, has also exposed the hollowness of.
his so-called crusade against black money by saying that the Gadkari scam is of a merely `technical' nature and not a genuine.
case of corruption..
.
A genuine political alternative can only emerge from a firm resistance to the neoliberal policy regime that promotes the corrupt.
business-politics nexus and cronyism. That nexus has the ruling Congress and the main Opposition BJP firmly in its web, and.
most regional parties too are themselves deeply mired in the murky business-politics quagmire, and are doing business with.
the Congress and BJP to boot..
.
AISA has organized a PUBLIC MEETING this afternoon from 3 pm onwards at Mahi Mandavi Mess, which will be.
addressed by noted financial journalists Paranjoy Guha Thakurta and Shalini Singh who over last 3 years have.
pioneered the investigations into the recent spate of corrupt dealings and the corporate-politician nexus. AISA appeals.
to the student community to participate in large numbers in the public meeting this afternoon..
