How DMK lost the game

G.C. SHEKHAR



New job calling? Kanimozhi outside Parliament on Monday. (PTI)



Chennai, Nov. 15: Lesson for the DMK from A. Raja’s exit: underestimating an ally can be as dangerous as underestimating an opponent.



The party and its leader M. Karunanidhi had never expected the Congress to outstare them over the spectrum scandal. After brazening it out for more than a week by refusing to pull Raja back from the ministry, the DMK suddenly found itself up against a determined Congress and blinked.



The southern party received one more snub today. Within hours of its parliamentary party leader T.R. Baalu asserting the telecom portfolio must remain with the DMK, the Congress handed it to human resource development minister Kapil Sibal.



Also, by entrusting the ministry to a lawyer, the Congress has let its ally know that it wants to keep a strict watch on the spectrum case and, thus, a tight leash on the DMK.



“When (Union home minister) P. Chidambaram met Karunanidhi after Diwali and requested that Raja resign, the DMK boss threatened that all his ministers would quit the central government if Raja had to go,” a Congress MP from Tamil Nadu said.



“But once Jayalalithaa made her offer, apparently at the suggestion of a senior Congress leader in Delhi, the Congress leveraged it to prise out Raja.” <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



When the Congress spurned Jayalalithaa’s offer by reaffirming its alliance with the DMK, Karunanidhi had apparently taken it as a signal that Raja would continue. But once the Prime Minister declared that the alliance with the DMK continued “as of now”, and that it was for the Congress leadership to take note of Jayalalithaa’s offer, the DMK sensed that its ally had toughened its stance.



Still, the party tried to shore up Raja’s position. Karunanidhi came out in open support of the minister and his daughter and MP, Kanimozhi, pleaded with finance minister Pranab Mukherjee at Parliament House.



The telecom department filed a counter in the Supreme Court defending Raja’s actions, and the minister’s lawyers even participated in a brainstorming session with CBI officers. <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Raja himself gave a lengthy interview to a newspaper, accusing a powerful telecom lobby of orchestrating the campaign against him.



Tamil Nadu law minister Durai Murugam flew to Delhi to explore if the legal fire could be doused and the Supreme Court persuaded to tone down its comments against Raja. He returned empty-handed.



Once the Prime Minister had made up his mind, Mukherjee called Karunanidhi on Sunday morning to convey the Congress’s decision. The chief minister apparently promised to get back to him.



When he did not, it was Chidambaram’s turn to tell the DMK boss that Raja’s exit would help the alliance during the Assembly elections. It was a clear hint that the future of the alliance hinged on the Raja issue. That clinched it.



The episode amounts to a loss of face for the DMK. “Had Raja resigned (earlier)... our party’s image would not have been tarnished like now. Instead, we lived in a state of denial which closed all the options,” a DMK minister admitted.

So essentially the DMK was told there is Jaya in INC's future.



Too bad for TN that they have to suffer with three scoundrels: INC, DMK and AIDMK.

Tribune on the Tata disclosure of bribe for airline opeartion permit....

No grease money, no work!

Corruption knows no upper limits



What Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata has said about the all-pervasive corruption may be sensational stuff but is nothing unusual for the common man. He faces it at every step, every day of his life. Mr Tata has revealed that 12 years ago, his domestic airlines project with Singapore Airlines as partner was shot down on flimsy grounds over a period of time which saw three Prime Ministers change. A particular individual thwarted the efforts and they had to finally abandon the project. Interestingly, a fellow industrialist advised him to pay the minister concerned Rs 15 crore if he wanted to get the project cleared, but Mr Tata did not do so. He is an exception; most others find it more pragmatic to succumb. Some of them who make it are rogues who get lucrative projects by greasing the palms. Worse is the fate of those who have to pay even if they are eminently suited to get these but the corrupt officials make them corrupt even for getting their due. The ultimate sufferer is the common man who pays the taxes and also elects the corrupt leaders, who act as “commission agents”.



Quite expectedly, the remarks of the highly respected entrepreneur-industrialist have raised a storm, with a former Civil Aviation Minister C.M. Ibrahim threatening to commit suicide unless Mr Tata names the minister. Unfortunately, it is not the question of the integrity of a person but of the entire system. The rust has affected the entire steel frame of the administration. Whenever such ugly stories come to light, the culprits demand proof, as if money is sought and given in front of TV cameras.

Too bad the ibrahim wont carry out his threat!

The Supreme Court on Tuesday questioned Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for not taking action on an application seeking his sanction to start criminal proceedings against former telecom minister A Raja for his role in the 2G spectrum scam. A bench of justices GS Singhvi and AK Ganguly said it was "troubled" by the "inaction" and "silence" of the sanctioning authority — the prime minister — on a plea by Janata Party leader Subramanyam Swamy for sanction to prosecute Raja.

Appointed PM is really shameless person. He lied, when he claimed that RSS was behind 1984 riots and he lost election in Delhi.

I find it totally immoral that the entire media and a section of the non-thinking BJP is baying for Dr. Singh's blood. That the Supreme Court started the hunt says more about the state of our courts today than anything else. The following for all of you to chew like pan.



1. Lady Macbeth handpicks heads of important government agencies, institutions. She controls them. This I have said repeatedly.

2. Lady Macbeth hanpicked Dr. Singh in the fond hope he will keep the chair warm for baba or another of her more pliant stooges to take over towards the fag end of this term so that she will have a brain-dead congress ready to be manipulated at the time of the next elections.

3. Like all well laid plans of mice and men, this came unstuck when Dr. Singh was being seen more and more assertive and visible in public life with Mrs. Singh standing like a rock by his side.

4. the world saw the grace, self-confidence and assertion with which Mrs. Singh greeted the american president and made conversation with him on the tarmac. Lady Macbeth's absence was palpable.

5. Lady macbeth got the same time with the american president that Sushma Swaraj got and this must have stuck in her throat.

6. Baba was not visible and just as invisible was the rashtrapati bhavan this time. Strange!! Even the dinner was hosted by the PM and not 10 janpath or the rashtrapati bhavan.

7. There was a growing perception among the politically savvy that maybe just maybe Dr. Singh and other stalwarts within the party were doing a collective Narasimha Rao with the lady. And that was why Pranab Mukherjee very uncharacteristically for him was made to utter the shiboleth - RSS terrorists. That was just to emphasise she was still pulling the strings; the home minister had already done his jig when he said he used the phrase saffron terrorism for a purpose and nthe purpose had been served. Of course we know it. The purpose was to pass the shiboleth recitation contest.

8. So now the Supreme Court, giving evrything else the go-by has latched on to Dr. Manmohan Singh and has made the first move to apply tilak and turmeric on him. It is for thr BJP to fulfill Lady Macbeth's secret desire and make him the bakra.

9. Dr. Subramaniam Swamy mercifully has seen which way the script is heading and has said he does not want Dr. Singh to resign and that he is a good man.

10. The BJP must wake up and realize that it is not Dr. Singh who has to go, it is Sonia and her Congress.

11. Raja could not have done what he did without the support of a larger DMK. the DMK could not have done this without the Congress knwoing and endorsing this.

12. And Dr. Manmohan Singh is not Congress. After Indira, it is Sonia who is the Congress. She needs to go before she becomes India. She is already Srirama and Buddha and gandhi. that's enough coronation without placing this timeless civilization on her head. RR

MMS no longer "Mr.Clean" ?

On November 24, 2010, ‘SoniaG’ certified, “Manmohan Singh is more than 100 per cent honest”. The next day, she proclaimed her ‘zero tolerance’ to corruption. What a tragedy? Certificate of probity from Sonia to Singh! Could anything be more humiliating? For, only five years ago, Manmohan Singh had saved her from the Bofors scam by calling back the red corner notice against her Italian friend Ottavio Quattrocchi (Q), recipient of a third of the pay-off from Bofors. Here is that shameful story in brief. Sten Lindstorm, who was the head of the National Investigation Bureau, equal to the CBI here, had probed the Bofors pay-off in Sweden. He told Outlook (April 6, 1998) that Sonia must explain how the companies owned by Q got fat payoffs from Bofors; what was her nexus with Q; who introduced him to Bofors. Lindstorm said that Q got Bofors payoffs was confirmed. Six years later on April 8, 2004, he wrote that Sonia must be questioned on the scam, asserting, “I know what I am saying”.



The diary of Martin Ardbo, managing director of Bofors and the bribe giver, had mentioned his meeting with “Gandhi Trust lawyer”. Finally Q, who came to India long back virtually as Sonia’s baggage from Italy, behaved exactly like a thief when proof against him emerged; he slipped away from India in 1993, thanks to P V Narasimha Rao yielding to pressure from Sonia. In 1999, Sonia defended Q, pleaded he was innocent; she alleged that the NDA government was hounding him. Ten years later Singh chided his own government for harassing Q. Sonia protected the corrupt Q; Singh allowed him to escape prosecution. And Sonia, a suspect in Bofors bribery, is now the president of the Congress, and chairperson of the National Advisory Council. She condescends to certify Singh’s honesty and shamelessly proclaims that she is zero tolerant to corruption. Isn’t it a double tragedy?



Tsunami of scams



A tsunami of scams in quick succession in recent months has swamped the public domain. First of course is the ‘Raja of Scams’, the 2G Spectrum sale involving a loot of Rs 1,76,000 crore; second, how intriguingly the prime minister, now certified by the Bofors scam suspect as ‘Mr Clean’, silently first and openly later, allowed the scamsters to loot that national asset; third, how the ‘Mr. Clean’ PM sat on Subramanian Swamy’s plea to prosecute A Raja for the scam and is now hiding in legalisms to escape the blame for the delay; fourth, the transcript of the tele-conversation of the high profile PR executive Niira Radia, in which not just the politicians, but many media stars and business magnates stand naked in public for different things, including for having lobbied to make Raja telecom minister; fifth, the Commonwealth Games fraud involving Rs 8,000 crore; sixth, the Adarsh housing scam involving some Rs 600 crore. The gross value of the three loots touches almost Rs1.85 lakh crore, equal to 18.5 per cent of the national budget. Here is a sideshow, the Yeddyurappa scam. Compared to the dacoits who have looted almost Rs1.85 lakh crore, Yeddyurappa, like a frightened pickpocket who when caught, has returned the purse — the land permits — he had picked. Yet, his corruption, though petty in comparison, does make the BJP guilty of moral deficit; he has helped the Rs1.85 lakh crore-loot-accused Congress to accuse the BJP.



Fraudulent policy



The first four items relate to the 2G Scam. The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) estimates the 2G loot at between `67,000 crore and `1,76,000 crore. That the public lost heavily by the 2G Spectrum loot was evident on day one. Spectrum is the electromagnetic wave through which the wireless calls, SMSes and data travel from one phone or computer to another. Fraud inhered in the very policy to make spectrum available in 2008 at the price set for it in 2001.



What does selling the spectrum in 2008 at 2001 prices mean?



It is not just the inflation difference for eight years. It is like selling land in 2008 in a city (that has also grown 100 times since) at 2001 land prices. In 2008 alone the real estate stock prices rose, believe it, by 20 times. The only reason that Raja cited for this throwaway pricing was that, in 2003, the NDA government did it at 2001 prices. Look at the comparative facts, then and now. In 2003, only five out of 1,000 Indians owned a phone, globally among the lowest; the total telephone owners were 13 million; and telecom companies, in dead losses till 2006, needed support. But, between 2003 and 2008, the picture changed dramatically. The phone owning population grew by 14 times; telephone owners per thousand population by more than four and half times; telecom revenue by almost four times; telcos stock index by 4.4 times; market capitalisation of telcos by several times. The number of total cell owners was 3 million in 2001; 13 million in 2003, 180 million in 2000; now it is 688 million, 53 times more than in 2003; phone owners per thousand population rose from 3.6 in 2001 to 5 in 2003, and to over 22 in 2008; now it is over 58; Telcos’ revenue rose from Rs 48,000 crore in 2003 to 1,69,000 crore in 2008.



These data mean that the profit earning potential of spectrum was several times more in 2008, as compared to 2001. Again, the Indian mobile phone sector grew even faster after 2008. Since 2004 it was, even now it is, the fastest growing one in the world. It now adds every month 20 million phone connections; this is seven times the total all India connections of just 3 million in 2001. There is huge prosperity ahead too. The mobile phone subscriber base is expected to go up to 993 million by 2013. It needs no seer to say that selling licences in 2008 at 2001 prices was like selling gold in 2008, which will become diamond in 2013, at coal prices in 2001.



PM objects, acquiesces, defends



In September 2007, Raja announced policy to sell new mobile licences/spectrum at 2001 prices. On September 24, he announced that the cut-off date for new applications would be October 1; 575 applications were received by October 1. But a week later, on November 2, Raja stipulated that the applications received after September 25 would not be considered; that is retrospectively the cut-off date was advanced to September 25. Then, after 100 days, suddenly, at 2.30 pm on January 10, Raja announced that those who had filed their applications before September 25, could depute their representatives by 3.30 pm, that is, within 45 minutes, to collect the response and before the day ended, pay for spectrum on First Come First Served (FCFS) basis. There were skirmishes at the DoT office on January 10 to be first in the queue. This process disqualified 454 of the total of 575 applications. But, the chosen ones knew what would happen on January 10. The CAG report says, “13 applicants were ready with DDs drawn on dates prior to the notification itself” — a clear proof that they had prior information.



As the deal began to stink even earlier, in November 2007 the PM, though a month after September 24, objected to the Raja model and asked him to be transparent. Raja responded to him, within hours, insisting that he was only going by the policy (of the previous government) in force. The PM took one whole month and on January 3, 2008, he, quite intriguingly, just ‘acknowledged’ Raja’s letter — virtually giving a go-ahead to Raja. On January 10, Raja completed his fraudulent mission. But the story doesn’t end.



Finally, 15 months later, on May 24, 2010, the PM admitted that Raja had told him that he was only following the policy laid down previously — virtually approving the fraud. It needs no seer to say that to say the loot was no secret affair. It was daylight robbery; as transparent as the PM had wanted it to be. Not just Raja, the PM also must be questioned on why he objected first; why he fell into silence later; why he acquiesced subsequently and why he defended it finally.



Stench out in three ways



The stench of the scam began leaking out in three different ways. First, even before the licences were issued in January 2008, one of the aspirants for all India licence, STel Limited, made an offer to Raja in November 2007 to pay Rs13,621 crore for the licence which Raja was selling at Rs1,658 crore — that is almost nine times the 2001 price. When its offer was rejected, STel moved the Delhi High Court, which allowed its petition. Then Raja’s ministry appealed to the Supreme Court. At that point, under threats, STel owners backed off from the case. But they had set the benchmark. On the basis of STel’s offer the CAG has estimated the loss to the public at Rs 67,300 crore.



Second, two of the new players — Unitech and Swan — who got licences on FCFS basis, sold off a major chunk of shares in their companies at values which were many times the amount they had paid for the licences. Unitech, which had paid a licence fee of Rs1,658 crore, sold 67 per cent of its licence for Rs 6,120 crore; this meant that the full licence value was Rs 9,100 crore. Swan, which had paid Rs 1,537 crore, sold 44.7 per cent of the licence at Rs 3,217 crore; it meant that its licence value was Rs 7,192 crore. STel, which got small licences by paying Rs 25 crore, sold 5.61 per cent of its licence for Rs 238.5 crore; it meant that the value of its licences was Rs 4,251 crore. On the basis of these sales of licences the CAG has calculated the loss at between Rs 57,600 and 69,300 crore.



Third, on the basis of the value realised by the government by auctioning of the licences/spectrum for 3G telephony, the CAG has computed the loss in the sale of 2G licences at 2001 rates, without bidding process, at Rs1,76,645 crore. It is the CAG report that has made the stench unbearable. It came just before the Parliament Winter Session was to open. The opposition got a full toss to hit, which it promptly did. The Parliament has become dysfunctional.



What, who made PM U-turn?



The 2G loot took place in the open, to the view of all including ‘Mr Clean’ Singh and zero-corruption-tolerant Sonia. When CBI raided Raja’s ministry on October 28, 2009, and there were demands that Raja resign, he retorted, “why should I resign? I had done everything in consultation with the PM”.



The PM did not deny that statement. But, months later, on May 24, 2010, the PM said that Raja had “discussed” the issue with him. Any difference between Raja asserting that he had “consulted” the PM and the PM admitting that Raja “discussed” with him? The story is self-evident. The PM’s objection in November 2007 turned into no-objection in January 2008 and finally became his approval in May 2010. But, now, with the CAG exposing the fraud, the PM’s lips remain zipped despite demands from everyone including the Supreme Court that he speaks. Why? Here is a compelling hypothesis.



Between November 2007 and January 2008, someone must have hinted to the PM not to meddle with Raja. There is no other way PM’s November objection could become a meek non-objection in January. Who except Sonia Gandhi could turn the PM’s strong objection into a meek non-objection? And who else could make the PM defend Raja in May 2010. Assume this, then everything falls in place; otherwise nothing is explainable.



Raja, Radia, media



But a parallel development also made the stench difficult to contain. The story here is both spicy and serious. The income tax department had legally tapped the telephone lines of Niira Radia, Delhi’s most enterprising PR executive, who holds the honourable Tata group, on the one hand and the fearsome RIL group on the other. Her nine telephones were tapped for about 180 days from August 20, 2008 and again from May 11, 2009 to July 11, 2009. On the request of the CBI, which began to probe the scam in October 2009, the IT department provided, on November 20, 2009, not the whole, but a small part of the recordings. This in itself has forced many politicians, businessmen and media stars run for cover.



There are 5,400 telephonic conversations involving Niira Radia reportedly recorded; available on the Internet are a mere 102, of which only 23 have been transcribed and printed. So one can estimate the bombs still hidden.



According to the IT department’s brief to the CBI, the transcripts reveal stunning facts like: one, Niira Radia was very close to Raja and was involved in getting 2G licences for three operators, namely, Unitech, Swan, and Datacom; two, Raja himself has equity stakes in the licences he has issued; three, Radia and Kanimozhi worked through Vir Sanghvi and Barkha Dutt, two famed journalists, for negotiating to get Raja in as telecom minister after the elections in 2009; four, Radia was also close to the auditor of Rajathi Ammal, (Karunanidhi’s second wife and Kanimozhi’s mother); five, Radia was also involved in advising on the resale of the licences by Swan and Unitech; and so on. It is a shameful account whose full details are not out yet.



The legally recorded phone conversations indicate that it was Radia who first confirmed to Raja on May 24, 2009 that his name has been cleared for the telecom ministry. Go to http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?268064, and click for the tapes, you can hear Raja asking Radia: “My case is clear, yes?” and Radia replying: “Yours is clear, yeah. Your case was cleared last night only.” The tapes, running to over a hundred, of which only a small part is out in the open, are said to be both juicy and sensational. For instance Radia narrates to Vir Sanghvi on May 23, 2009, at past 10.26 pm about how Dayanidhi Maran was exerting pressure through Karunanidhi’s kin Stalin, Dayalu Ammal and Selvi to get into the Cabinet, and tells, “I believe that Maran has given about 600 crores to Dayalu, Stalin’s mother”. Interesting — and disturbing — isn’t it to hear particularly about sale of ministerial positions within the political family for hundreds of crores? Space constraints cut the shameful long story short for now; more on it later.



The loot is too huge for Raja. The main beneficiaries are obviously hiding behind him. Raja could never have defied the PM on the strength of the DMK alone. The DMK could never have ditched the UPA on this issue. The fear that the DMK would walk out of UPA could not be the reason for the PM to acquiesce. The fraudulent venture must have had the backing of someone more powerful than the PM. That only explains Raja’s defiance of the PM; and the PM acquiescence first and finally his defence of the deal itself.



QED: The PM has now lost the remaining sheen as ‘Mr Clean’. The condescending certificate of honesty from Sonia, who he had saved from the Bofors case, is his ultimate humiliation.

After his visit to Ahmedabad, Rahul Gandhi went to Rajkot and Baroda to address students of the district. Speaking to some 1200 students at Rajkot's Hemugadhvi Hall, Rahul Gandhi revealed that he can follow Gujarati.



He even told the students to ask him questions in Gujarati, but maintained that he cannot speak the language.



He urged the youth to take India ahead in the technology sector as the country still lags behind China and Japan. He talked for almost an hour on various issues like education, job opportunities and corruption. Rahul looked clueless when a girl asked him "Don't you think reservation in education should be removed?" He told her that he will try to do something about it.



Later in Baroda, Rahul had a similar reply to a question about corruption in the

country. The students it seemed were not impressed by the diplomatic answers of Rahul Gandhi.

says

The politics of UP is not much different from that of Bihar. Both have witnessed dramatic a political change in the post-Mandal era. In this, the Congress collapsed and caste-based heroes got commanding heights. So, Bihar is a natural corollary to UP.

What happened post Mandal era? V.P.Singh ushered in this era, right? And he was in INC. So why the angst against INC?
