Exposed: BJP min & former Cong min

REVEALED : DIRECT CONFLICT OF INTEREST & IMPROPRIETY OF MR RAVI SHANKAR PRASAD (BJP) AND MR MANISH TEWARI (CONG) :  

1)      Aam Aadmi Party is revealing the direct conflict of interest of union telecom minister Mr Ravi Shankar Prasad and demands that he should immiedately resign, failing which the Prime Minister must remove him from telecom ministry :

Facts of the case:

Union telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad is in receipt of retainership fees from a company of Reliance group (Fine Tech Corporation Private Limited). We are enclosing the invoices raised by Ravi Shankar Prasad on the company of Reliance group from April 2013 to March 2014, total amount billed Rs 84 lakh. Payment is in the form of retainership fee. It appears to be a token of gratification being offered. (We are attaching the receipts with this press release)

He also held the law portofolio from May 26 this year till November 10 along with telecom.

Reliance connection: Fine Tech Corporation Private Limited is a company of the Reliance group with its corporate office atReliance Corporate Park, 5TTC Industrial Area, Thane Belapur Road,Ghansoli, Navi Mumbai-400701. It has three directors: Mr.Shankar Natarajan, Mr.Jaishanker Prasad Kanhaiya Lal Bansal, Mr.Rajagopal Subramanian. These three are also directors in various other companies of Reliance Group.

Reliance is a major telecom player and many questions have been raised on Reliance’s improprieties in the 4G matter.
OUR OBJECTIONS :
The department of telecom has strongly refuted the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG’s) observation that Mukesh Ambani-controlled Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and Nahata family-owned Infotel Broadband Services Pvt. Ltd, a company that was subsequently acquired by RIL, were shown undue favours, resulting in a loss of more than Rs.20,000 crore to the government.
 

Is the current minister of telecom (Ravi Shankar Prasad) not sitting over a notice that needs to be issued to Reliance Jio with respect to the 4G case. ?
After the Supreme Court notice to DoT on Mr.Prashant Bhushan's case (in April 2014) and other complaints filed to DoT/PM & CVC by other persons - DoT officials prepared a notice to Reliance Jio asking for reasons on why its contract should not be cancelled ?  
Why is  the minister for telecom Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad sitting over this notice for the past three months and not allowing DoT's Access Service Division to issue notice to Reliance ? . 

·         Mr Ravi Shankar Prasad must immediately tender his resignation from the telecom ministry as he cannot deal with any office whose subject matter is of business interest to Reliance.
·         It is a clear case of conflict of interest and gross impropriety.
·         Before becoming a union minister, Mr.Ravi Shankar Prasad was a member of the JPC from March 2011 onwards, which examined  matters relating to allocation and pricing of telecom licences and spectrum.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  2)      MANISH TEWARI                                                
He was a union minister of state with an independent charge in the Congress-led UPA government from October 2012 till May 2014 :

He was in a retainership agreement with the RIL even during his tenure as a union minister.

When his contract for retainership expired on 30th June 2012, Manish Tewari wrote a letter to Mr.Parimal Nathwani (RS member and senior functionary in Reliance) to get his contract extended till 30th June 2015. The contract got extended till 30th June 2014.
We are enclosing the letter written by Manish Tewari to Piramal Natwani requesting for renewal of contract. Also enclosed is the extension of contract letter by RIL.
Payment is in the form of retainership fee. It appears to be a token of gratification being offered.

Manish Tewari – I & B minster – Reliance has serious interest and holdings in I&B industry.

Mr Tewari was also a member of JPC which probed the 2G telecom scam :

These two cases give rise to the following important issues :

i)        Such former ministers and MPs have been/are in various committees in which are of interest to these companies (Reliance group).
ii)      They speak in parliament on issues of interest to these companies (Reliance group).
iii)    They shouldn’t be doing any legal work while holding high offices. Also, they must recuse themselves from a public office which deals with the business interest of these companies (Reliance group).
iv)    If these ministers have dealt with these cases – it amounts to corruption/gross conflict of interest/gross impropriety.
v)      Our MPs will notify the Ethics committee of the parliament to take up this matter.

The Erosion of Democracy: BJP's Stranglehold on Indian Politics

In recent times, India has witnessed a concerning trend of democratic institutions being manipulated and opposition voices being silenced under the leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The use of government agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Income Tax Department (IT) to target opposition leaders has raised serious questions about the health of democracy in the country. The blatant misuse of these agencies to harass and intimidate political opponents undermines the very foundation of democracy. By incarcerating opposition leaders and subjecting them to legal harassment, the BJP government is effectively crushing dissent and monopolizing power. Such tactics not only weaken the democratic fabric of the nation but also erode public trust in the fairness and impartiality of the legal system. Furthermore, the stranglehold of the BJP government extends to the media, with reports of censorship and suppression becoming incre

Unmasking the Dark Veil of Electoral Bonds: The Lingering Shadow of Black Money in Indian Politics

By S.B. Mazumder In the convoluted saga of political financing in India, electoral bonds emerged as a promising solution, yet they only served to veil the pervasive presence of black money within the corridors of power. Despite assertions by the government that these bonds would bring transparency to political funding, the recent Supreme Court ruling striking them down as unconstitutional shines a stark light on the enduring issue of cash-driven politics. Electoral bonds were envisioned as a tool to sanitize the flow of funds to political parties by allowing donors to contribute ostensibly anonymously. However, this anonymity proved to be a double-edged sword, as it shielded potential quid pro quos between donors and political recipients. While parties were privy to the identities of their benefactors, the public was left in the dark, rendering the entire system vulnerable to manipulation and corruption. The government's promise that electoral bonds would cleanse the system of unac
