The Central Bureau of Investigation filed charge sheets against three cement companies: India Cements, Bharathi Cement, Penna Cement and named N Srinivasan,the vice chairman as an accused in the corruption probe involving the son of Andhra Pradesh's late chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy. The CBI questioned Srinivasan a couple of times last year, and charged India Cements with criminal conspiracy, cheating, criminal breach of trust and falsification of accounts.
Srinivasan has invested some Rs 140 crore in various businesses of Jagan Mohan Reddy alegedlly in return for favours. The investigating agency accused senior bureaucrats Adityanath Das and M Samuel for issuing government orders allotting land, water and limestone mines in favour of India Cements. But has not named the then irrigation minister, Ponnala Laxmaiah, who issued government orders favouring India Cements to draw large quantities of river water.
Jagan Mohan Reddy, who represents Kadapa in the Lok Sabha, broke away from the Congress to form his own political outfit soon after his father Rajasekhara Reddy died in a helicopter crash in 2009. He was arrested in May last year and now along with his auditor Vijay Sai Reddy, named as first and second accused in all the eight charge sheets filed so far.
There are two basic facts :
a) Industries and individual persons were favoured in the allotment of land, water and limestone mines illegally (out of turn, thus depriving others to get that ) by the Late Rajasekhara Reddy led Congress government, through the then irrigation minister, Ponnala Laxmaiah, who accommodated falsification of accounts and cheating in lieu of money .
b) Jagan Mohan Reddy, the son of the that time Andhra Pradesh's Congress chief minister late YS Rajasekhara Reddy, received Rs 140 crore invested in various of his businesses, as alleged in return for favours for those illegal allocation of mines and that is now charged as corruption.
A very simple analysis states the following conclusion :
A) the allocation of limestone mines illegally is similar to what is alleged in the Coalgate, where coal was allotted illegally,
B) this was done in lieu of money and other material benefits and assets, received indirectly by the relatives or associates of one or other Congress ministers very much same as alleged in case of Coalgate,
C) in each of the cases the facilitator of the cheating was some one powerful in the ruling government, that is almost similar to Coalgate,
D) the fraud was carried in the tenure of Late Rajasekhara Reddy , he has made it possible as the Congress party Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, and it was as the head of cabinet ; but not as the father of Jagan Mohan Reddy ;that is as his first constitution responsibilities are as the chief minister nor as a father of curropt son (also for similarity refer Railgate ) .
Implication : As the crime was conducted by the that time Congress party and that party is still holding the control of the government now,though with same set of persons, ministers except a different Chief Minister. As such why the CBI should not ask the Governor for dismissal of this corrupt government of same people and party to facilitate proper investigation and independentely charge all the conspirator ministers and facilitator bureaucrats involved ?
Late Rajasekhara Reddy was selected by all the MLA's of Congress party and recommended to Governor to be their Chief Minister. Is not this lawfully correct that all the cabinet members holds joint responsibility for all the deeds past or present done by that cabinet, which is controlled and guided through by their central leadership ?
Wise men ask if Osama is dead now, nobody in Al Qaida or Al Qaida itself will be responsible for their past misdeeds ?
We Indians are very much selective and easily be fooled by our elected representatives and we never opt to nail down the criminal tendency of falsification, cheating and corruption, that is why this evil is making such a "rapid progress in geometrical proportion" in the last decade.
