The State government on Monday night transferred Collectors of 21 districts in one go. Significantly, none of them has been posted as Collector of some other district. Instead, all of them have been brought to various State government departments in various capacities.

In other words, all these 21 districts will get new Collectors within a few days.
Apart from these 21 Collectors, the State government also transferred six IAS officers in key departments.

Surjit K Chaudhary, the Secretary, Planning and Development Department, will take over as the Chairman of Teachers Recruitment Board.

R Vijayakumar, the Chairman and Managing Director, Tamil Nadu Handicrafts Development Corporation Limited, will replace Chaudhary.

Girija Vaidyanathan, the Secretary, Commissioner of Maternal Child Health and Welfare and Project Director, Reproductive Child Health Project, will assume charge as Secretary, Health and Family Welfare Department.

Jatindranath Swain, the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, will take over as Secretary, Cooperation, Food and Consumer Protection Department.

Kumar Jayant, the Commissioner of Technical Education, will assume charge as Secretary, Public and Rehabilitation Department.

V Chandrasekaran, the Director of Handlooms and Textiles has been transferred as the Managing Director of the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board.

This is going to be the first protest from public. :bash:

Let them dissolve the regional control and take it to Chennai control but not colleges. It should be renamed as College of Engineering, Anna University, Coimbatore campus, Trichy campus etc.,

Yes!
They should not close the colleges in the middle.

The crux of the problem is the Accusation that these were created just to accommodate near & dear ones and friends in plum posts incl VCs.

They can have central control as before.

Closing down in the middle will spoil the students future.

Has letika saran appointment been annulles? then the news speculate on apr14th by one of the sites, i think tamil leader may come true. Nataraj may be back as dgp lo for another 14 mnths.

Hope they bring the entrance exams back.

Rural quota can be brought back only for government schools! This rural quota cannot be combined with any other quotas also no further caste quota inside rural quota.

If we allow rural quota for all the schools even dozens of boarding schools in Namakkal will come under this because of its remote location.

The Rural quota & other quotas outside the already existing Reservation system do not add any value. Those may simply be exploited as you said.

In TN already Reservation is on the higher level and the Govt should bring down the same by giving quality primary & secondary education.

Nice article (http://idlyvadai.blogspot.com/2011/05/blog-post_31.html) about Delhi. Hope Metro changes Chennai like this.

For the rest, hardluck. May (y)our kids atleast see that happen in their lifetime :)

2G scam: Now Maran in dock

Source (http://expressbuzz.com/nation/2g-scam-now-maran-in-dock/279674.html)

NEW DELHI: After A Raja and Kanimozhi, Union Minister of Textiles Dayanidhi Maran is in the dock in the 2G spectrum scam following reports that he allegedly favoured Aircel promoters Maxis in the allocation of spectrum while he was the telecom minister in 2006.


Tehelka had carried a report alleging that Maran had favoured private firms in the allocation of 2G spectrum.

Tehelka report alleged that there was a Rs 600 crore scam in the clearance of Maxis file by Maran.

Maran, however, has denied the charges. Calling the report baseless, Maran has sued Tehelka, which published the report.

But, the BJP has hit out at the DMK, saying Maran should come clean over the reports.

The party has asked Maran to explain his role in alleged irregularities during his tenure as telecom minister.

"Another scam hits the UPA. Dayanidhi Maran, a present Union Minister, who used to be telecom minister, favoured private firms. Did Maxis company invest in Sun TV, owned by Marans?" said BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad.

The Congress, however, has distanced itself from the controversy.

"Maran is the best person to answer to the allegations. Meanwhile, JPC is looking into the alleged irregularities in allotment of 2G," said Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari.

Such revelations which are coming out might shock thatha as people have made so much money without his knowledge( i.e share to him & family)...

http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/cnbc-tv18-comments/tamil-nadus-sez-success-story-whats-working-whats-not_548535.html

Violent farmer protests over land acquisitions in Uttar Pradesh have forced the central government to aim at tabling the land acquisition bill in the upcoming monsoon session. However, land acquisition for industrialization in south India’s Tamil Nadu has so far been peaceful, reports CNBC-TV18’s Swathi Narayanan.

Out of 57 special economic zones (SEZs) in Tamil Nadu, 26 are already operational, generating over 150,000. Unlike other states, where land acquisition for industrialisation resulted in violent clashes, Tamil Nadu seems to have struck the correct balance.

According to the state's SEZ policy of 2003, land banks with the state are given to industry. Over the years, the Tamil Nadu government through various bodies like State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (SIPCOT) and Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Council has managed to acquire thousands of acres of land for industrial growth.

R Sridhar, associate director, PwC said, “Practically, the state govt has been very proactive in this approach. They have been acquiring land and giving it for industry if the land parcel is very big.”

Most of the SEZs have come up in wastelands or single crop lands, which include Kanchipuram, Tiruvanamalai, Tirunelveli, Tuticorin and Krishnagiri. The fertile regions have been left for farming.

Ravindra Sannareddy, managing director of Sri City pointed out, “We have to select lands that are not fully productive for agriculture. In other words, the dry land category and as the national policy indicates you have to avoid two crop lands.”

Another crucial factor that enables peaceful land acquisition is adequate compensation for land owners and farmers. According to experts, Compensation for land in Tamil Nadu is a transparent process wherein the state determines the price based on the circle rate in that area.

NR Sharavanan, member, EOU & SEZ Export Promotion Council said, “The government gives the market rate: what the particular land, the guideline value they get from the sub registrar office, they give the same price to farmers.”

However, not everyone's happy. Padmanabhan, a landowner from Sriperumbudur, alleges his land was forcefully taken away for setting up the Renault Nissan plant in and the govt has not compensated him till date.

“We filed a case in the high court. The court asked the govt to give us compensation of Rs 5 crore. We haven't received the money yet. We have lost our land also and are facing great difficulty now,” Padmanabhan adds.

Setting up of big Manufacturing units like the Renault Nissan plant behind involves acquistion over thousand of acres of land and this process has not been entirely smooth even in TN. The state has seen litigation around land acquistion, but it has not become violent as in the case of Singur or Noida.

Even though there have been voices of dissent, the fact that they have not become violent goes to show that the TN land acquisition policy is working, at least for now.

The UN special investigator into extrajudicial killings in Sri Lanka says video footage showing soldiers apparently executing civilians is evidence of serious rights abuses.

Christof Heyns presented the video footage to the UN Human Rights Council.

He said that after careful analysis, he had concluded that it was authentic.

The government has angrily denied his claims. It says that the video is a forgery and that the UN should let Sri Lanka hold its own inquiry.

'Trophy footage'

The video was allegedly recorded during the final stages of Sri Lanka's 25-year conflict with Tamil Tiger rebels, which ended in May 2009.

"It's very rare that you have actual footage of people being killed," Mr Heyns, a lawyer by training, told The Associated Press. "This is different from CCTV. This is trophy footage."

Mr Heyns said that the video showed "definitive war crimes", believed to have taken place in May 2009 - that require both domestic and international proceedings to be launched.

"There is a prima facie case and it should now go to the next level," he said.
Sri Lankan Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa speaks at the conference Defence Secretary Rajapaksa told a conference on Tuesday that more army recruitment won the war

"So far we haven't seen any concrete results on the domestic level."

Mr Heyns added that the footage was evidence of serious human rights abuse.

The government has repeatedly denied accusations that thousands of civilians were killed in the latter stages of the war. It argues that it has been unfairly criticised for ending a conflict that claimed an estimated 100,000 lives amid regular suicide bombings of government targets.

The video shows graphic images of naked men, hands tied behind their backs, being shot in the head.

The BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva says that with more evidence of alleged atrocities due to be shown in the city later this week, the pressure is growing on the UN Human Rights Council to debate the role of the army in the closing months of the Sri Lankan civil war.

The UN has said there is credible evidence that both sides may have committed war crimes - the Tigers by shooting escaping civilians and the government by shelling hospitals.

A 'whitewash'

Meanwhile, an international seminar in which Sri Lanka aims to share its experience of defeating "terrorism" has begun in Colombo despite calls for a boycott by rights groups.

Entitled "Defeating Terrorism - Sri Lankan Experience", the event is being attended by 42 countries.

After 26 years of bloody civil war, Sri Lanka defeated Tamil Tiger rebels fighting for a separate homeland.

Human Rights Watch has said that the three-day event is an attempt at a whitewash.

The seminar is co-sponsored by China and officials say it is being attended by more than 40 nations, including Russia, India and Pakistan.

Britain, Japan, Australia and France are among nations who have decided to stay away from the event.

Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, brother of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, told the seminar's opening session on Tuesday that mass army recruitment was key to ending the decades-long civil war.

"We had a large but essential expansion of the army. It grew from 120,000 to 220,000 [between 2005 to 2009]," he said.

He added that he and the president had displayed a strong will to crush the Tigers. Sri Lanka says that the three-day conference could benefit other countries struggling with insurgencies.

^^ I think congress will try to shift the blame of entire 2G to DMK and to few individuals like Kalmadi in other scams. They will try to distance the party (most importantly the Queen and her clown prince) from the scams and project it as if it's their allies and individuals, and has nothing to do with congress. I think that's their plan to show themselves clean before next elections.

More than aatha, it's Sonia and Congress who I think will go against DMK with force this time. Tough times for thatha family who will fall pray to Sonia tactics.

Aatha might still take actions against Azhagiri at statelevel and I think she'll do a wait-and-watch game on others watching the battle of nerves between the Center and DMK.

hmm, good so far except for 1 or 2 slips here and there. Hope it continues

CHENNAI: With welfare schemes and freebies now an intrinsic part of Tamil Nadu's governance, chief minister J Jayalalithaa has been coaching her ministers on freebie etiquette and ways to curb corruption in implementation of the welfare schemes that were promised in the AIADMK election manifesto. "She has put the issue of price rise on the top of the agenda to be tackled on a war footing," officials told TOI.

Since May 17 when Jayalalithaa kicked off the "Manifesto Mission Meetings",

the ministers and several senior officials, have been trooping in for their classes in the conference hall adjoining the old assembly hall in Fort St George. Lending a helping hand to these special pupils, has been V Ponraj, secretary to former President A P J Abdul Kalam, who has spiced up the classes with power point presentations on a gamut of 54 welfare measures. .

The ministers, many of them debutants, have quizzed the teachers on the details of various welfare schemes and how to prevent corruption in their implementation. They were attentive and inquisitive as Jayalalithaa gave pointers on smooth implementation of the welfare schemes and checking graft in the course of reaching them to the people. The mission meetings which commenced a day after Jayalalithaa assumed office, concluded on Monday.

Keen to fulfil her promise of providing 20 litres of purified drinking water to families below poverty line, Jayalalithaa quizzed ministers and officials concerned about fine-tuning the methodology of supplying the water without officials being bribed. At one meeting, the chief minister's focus was on power and higher education. Many ministers were careful to do their homework by meeting with respective department secretaries and noting down basic information before they came for the meetings.

The major schemes discussed threadbare included agriculture, health, electricity, food, education, industries, cooperatives and fishing. "On the first day, madam gave a brief introduction about the mission meetings. The idea of the mission meetings is to bring ministers and officials to the same platform so that they co-ordinate well while carrying out the missions," a senior official told TOI.

Explained a senior minister, "Amma began the meeting, talking at length about the second green revolution. The plan is to double agricultural productivity and increase the agri growth from the present 2 % to progressive 4 % and achieve 9% at the end of five years.

The chief minister also discussed the setting up a fish processing park in a special ship which will roam at sea. This project is likely to be implemented soon. Storage, processing and packaging -- all will be done in the ship itself and exports despatched from the ship itself. "Madam also discussed about the setting up of AERO PARKs in south Tamil Nadu. 'She also keen on connecting state rivers and establish smart water ways," a minister disclosed.

Very promising! especially the focus on 2nd green revolution part though TN was not part of the 1st green revolution :tongue2: .. Anyways, so far so good!! Hope her focus is solely not on freebies and concentrates on other segments as well...

Swraj Paul calls on Jayalalithaa

Swraj Paul, India-born British industrialist and chairman of the Caparo Group, on Tuesday called on Chief Minister Jayalalithaa at Fort St George.

“It was a courtesy call,” Lord Paul later told reporters. He described Ms. Jayalalithaa as “one of the formidable leaders in the world.”

State opposes Palar reservoir proposal

The Tamil Nadu government has conveyed its opposition to the proposal of Andhra Pradesh to build a reservoir across the Palar.

At a trilateral meeting convened by the Union Water Resources Ministry last week in New Delhi on the directions of the Supreme Court, the State conveyed its position in unequivocal terms to Andhra Pradesh that it would not agree to the construction of any reservoir, big or small, says an official. Andhra Pradesh had even sent designs of the proposed reservoir to Tamil Nadu. The Union Ministry of Environment and Forests has not given its nod for the project, adds the official.

In March, the court asked the Union Ministry to explore the possibility of resolving the dispute through negotiations.

Usually, the Tamil Nadu stretch of the river does not witness surface flows, mostly due to impounding of water upstream. Still, it is a source of water for several towns of several districts, particularly Vellore and Kancheepuram, because of its sandy strata. Many southern suburbs of Chennai depend on this “invisible river.” In their case, it is the contribution of the Cheyyar, a tributary of the Palar, which sustains the supply.

According to an estimate, the State gets a meagre 0.75 thousand million cubic feet during rainy season. This helps, to some extent, recharge of the groundwater table in areas along the river.

The Palar, originating from the Nandi Hills in Karnataka, flows down to Tamil Nadu through Andhra Pradesh. Of its total length of 348 km, 93 km lies in Karnataka, 33 km in Andhra Pradesh and 222 km in Tamil Nadu.

Five years ago, the State government moved the Supreme Court to restrain Andhra Pradesh from building a reservoir across the river in Ganeshapuram, Kuppam taluk, Chitoor district.

TN gears up to buy 680 kg of gold for special scheme

The social welfare department has decided to buy over 680 kg of gold for the ‘Thirumangalyam’ scheme of the AIADMK government. Over one lakh brides, who hold diplomas or are graduates, will receive 22 ct gold coins for their wedding. After taking charge as chief minister, J. Jayalalithaa signed the first GO regarding the Thirumangalyam scheme.

Social welfare minister Selvi Ramajayam told Deccan Chronicle, “The Thirumangalyam scheme is among the major schemes of our government.” She has been holding a series of meetings with her team to work out the modalities. The Moovalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar marriage assistance scheme was launched in 1989. Girls who had studied up to class VIII and attained the age of18 were given Rs 5,000. Subsequently, the educational qualification and age to receive the assistance were raised by various governments. The former DMK government provided Rs 20,000 as assistance, which worked out to Rs 150 crore and benefited 75,000 families.

The present AIADMK government has increased the assistance to Rs 50,000 along with 4 grams of gold. As per the GO, the government will spend Rs 148.22 crore to provide a gold coin free of cost to one girl in each family. Sources said the DMK had not left much funds for the present government to start the programmes. And so plans are afoot to find funds for the marriage assistance scheme.

How do you say TN wasn't part of the 1st green revolution? In the 70s when Indira Gandhi launched a program for ensuring self-sufficiency in food production, there were lots of scientists from TN including M. S. Swaminathan were there to make it a success.

The nationwide program became a success and India achieved self-sufficiency in food production with a decade or two from then.

Saw this in a rediff blog posting (http://blogs.rediff.com/dillichaat/2011/05/31/is-dayanidhi-maran-in-deep-trouble/):



Is Dayanidhi Maran in deep trouble?
May 31st, 2011
Goto comments Leave a comment

Once a trouble shooter for his grand-uncle DMK chief M Karunanidhi and a friend of the Gandhi family, Textiles Minister Dayanidhi Maran is beginning to look he is in deep trouble like his former Cabinet and party colleague, A Raja.
Though he is tightly lipped, Maran’s sudden meetings with Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recently are leading to speculation about his staying as a minister. The buzz in Delhi’s corridors of power is whether another 2G scam is brewing and Maran is in the dock.
Stories are doing rounds that companies that backed jailed Raja are out to “fix” Maran so that he “pays” the price for troubling them during his tenure as Telecom Minister.:nuts:

Last week, Maran moved the Madras High Court for a direction to the printer, publisher and editor and others of Economic Times of Bennet Coleman & Co Limited to pay Rs 1 crore towards damages for publishing articles that are allegedly defamatory.

He submitted that the daily carried news items in its Delhi edition of the issue dated May 21 last under the headlines “CBI May Name Dayanidhi, Maxis in Aircel Ownership Probe” and “FIR Likely Against Maran, Maxis in Aircel Case”, which were totally defamatory, false and derogatory. It had been written and published with the mala fide intention of defaming the plaintiff and causing disrepute to him, he said.

This week, Maran sent a legal notice to Tehelka magazine, calling its cover story on him a “blatant and concocted lie”. The notice said, “The reports published in the magazine are totally false, defamatory, derogatory and has been published with a malafide intention and ulterior motive.” Tehelka had claimed Maran in 2006 deliberately delayed clearing license to certain companies. and “the delay” pressurised Aircel to strike a deal with Maxis, which invested in the Maran family-owned Sun TV.

Reacting to Maran sending notices to the media houses, the BJP has hit out at him, seeking his explanation if there was conflict of interest. The Congress, however, did not comment on the issue. “If Textiles Minister Dayanidhi Maran has been asked a few questions, he’s in the best position to answer them. But I must mention here that the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) is doing its job. It will examine all issues including the telecom policy through the years,” Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari said. But Union ministers P Chidambaram and Kapil Sibal refused to comment on Maran.

.....


Now, DMK leaders say Maran has again upset Karunanidhi and his family following WikiLeaks disclosure about what he had told an American diplomat in Chennai a year after he lost his portfolio in the DMK’s internal war. In the cable dated Feb 23, 2008, the estranged DMK leader was quoted as saying that party “would lose about half of their [Lok Sabha] seats if things continue as they are,” hinting that there was a general impression that the DMK was especially corrupt.

“When people get into power they lose concentration and start focusing on making money,” he had said, in what seems to be a dig at Raja, The Hindu reported quoting the cables. Maran also rapped the DMK for its policy of gifting freebies to voters as he said, “The problem when you come to power by promising people free TVs is that people soon forget the TVs you gave them and then ask ‘what are you doing for me now?’” U.S. Consul General David T Hopper in the communique to Washington also wrote that Maran was “very downbeat” about the prospects of the ruling United Progressive Alliance’s (UPA) in the 15th Lok Sabha election, observing that “the UPA is in tough shape, especially after Gujarat.”

But Maran’s praise for Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi was also noted by the diplomat, as the DMK leader went as far as calling him the “only chance” the UPA had of returning to power in the 2009 elections. :weird: By December 1, 2008, Maran was, however, back in the DMK fold after saying sorry to his grand-uncle Karunanidhi. The Maran brothers also patched up with Karunanidhi’s two sons, M K Stalin and M K Alagiri.



Any news in the Tamil press on the Dayanidhi angle? Another 2G brewing AGAIN? :bash:

Place looks simple but has been draped in Green color !!!

Watch out for baba ramdev issue. This has huge ramifications for 2014 and hence TN alliances.

He has been given VVIP status, 4 ministers, union cabinet sec doing shashtang pranam at airport, he has been hyped ensuring even bigger support for common man.

He is already going to receive massive mobilization from his own network and that of sanghsmassive network

What one fails to see is it pm playing against sonias nac
or Ramdev who has been carrying on his campaign against black money for two yers thats worrying. Black money issue worries any politicos.

Even SC bashing ED daily, asking whats happenning in country hasnt worked

In 2009 election Advani and ramdev along with gurumurthy and iim prof raised the same issue. it was laughed off then thanks to media support. Now mood of nation different.

Issue was hot again somemonths back but a strategic error by lka killed it.

Now Why this hyping Baba Ramdev - He has huge influence accross entire hindu belt which is bjp bastion. So is it hoping that he will split bjp votes if he launches party?

He could mobilize entire UP. and if he ends up as hero, he could be influential player deciding next PM.


No govt eleted with such a majority has been so weak 2 yrs into its reign

How it affects TN?

A weak cong will try to placate people like Jaya giving into their demands for state. we wont witness 2001-2006 where every move of state govt was maximum trampled from centre.

In 2014 it could decide the election alliances. A modi-ramdev combination can be potential winner. In that case jaya ,gaptun may align with bjp, dropping commies.

Its too early to read, but good to have a watch .

A weakened congress at centre is good for TN at the moment.

அரசையும், ஆட்சியாளர்களையும் தொல்லை செய்தே பழக்கப்பட்டுப் போன சினிமாக்காரர்கள், இன்னும் திருந்துவதாக இல்லை. கருணாநிதி காலத்தில்தான் அந்த விழா, இந்த விழா என்று அட்டகாசம் செய்தார்கள் என்றால் முதல்வர் ஜெயலலிதாவிடம் அதே வேலையைக் காட்ட துடித்துள்ளார்கள். ஆனால் ஜெயலலிதா முளையிலேயே அதை கிள்ளி எறிந்து அவர்களுக்கு ஷாக் கொடுத்துள்ளார்.

கடந்த திமுக ஆட்சிக்காலத்தில் தமிழகத்தில் சினிமாக்காரர்கள் போட்ட ஆட்டம் மக்களால் மறக்க முடியாது. தமிழக மக்களால் திமுக ஆட்சியை விட்டு விரட்டப்படுவதற்கு இந்த சினிமாக்காரர்களும் ஒரு முக்கியக் காரணம்.

அப்பாவி ஜனங்களால் முதல்வரின் நிழல் அருகில் கூட அவ்வளவு சீக்கிரம் போய் விட முடியாது. அந்த அளவுக்கு ஏகப்பட்ட பாதுகாப்பு வளையங்கள் திமுக ஆட்சிக்காலத்தில் போட்டு வைக்கப்பட்டிருந்தது. ஆனால் இந்த சினிமாக்காரர்கள் மட்டும் நினைத்தால் போய் பார்த்து விட்டு வர முடிந்தது.

குஷ்பு போய் பார்ப்பார், குயிலி போய் பார்ப்பார், சோனா பார்ப்பார், நமீதா பார்ப்பார், ஏன் நேற்று நடிக்க வந்த குட்டிக் குட்டி நடிகைகள் கூட முதல்வராக இருந்த கருணாநிதியை எளிதாக, பார்க்க முடிந்தது.

அந்த பாராட்டு விழா, இந்தப் பாராட்டு விழா என்று கிட்டத்தட்ட மாதத்திற்கு 2 விழாக்களை நடத்தி முதல்வரையும், திமுக ஆட்சியையும் குளுமையாக்கி வைத்திருந்தனர் சினிமாக்காரர்கள்.

இப்படிச் செய்து செய்தே ஏகப்பட்ட சலுகைகளை வாங்கிப் பலனடைந்தனர். ஆனால் அப்பாவி மக்களும், சினிமா ரசிகர்களும் நல்ல படத்தைப் பார்க்க முடியாமல், குப்பைப் படத்தைப் பார்த்து பொழுதைப் போக்கும் நிலைக்குத் தள்ளப்பட்டனர். அதிக காசு கொடுத்து டிக்கெட் வாங்கி கஷ்டப்பட்டு வந்தனர். இந்த கஷ்டத்தை போய் யாரிடம் சொல்வது என்று மக்களுக்கு புரியவில்லை. அப்படி ஒரு நிலை. முதல்வருக்கு நெருக்குதல் கொடுத்து பத்திரிக்கையாளரைக் கூட கைது செய்ய வைக்கும் அளவுக்கு செல்வாக்கோடு இருந்தனர் சினிமாக்காரர்கள் கடந்த ஆட்சிக்காலத்தில்.

இந்த நிலையில் தற்போது ஆட்சி மாறியும், சினிமாக்காரர்களின் காட்சி மாறவில்லை. முதல்வராகப் பொறுப்பேற்றுள்ள ஜெயலலிதாவையும் தங்களது வலையில் வீழ்த்த அவர்கள் துடியாய்த் துடித்து வருகின்றனர்.

இந்த நிலையில், பெப்சி அமைப்பின் சார்பில் சில நிர்வாகிகள் ஜெயலலிதாவை அணுகி பாராட்டு விழா நடத்த முடிவு செய்துள்ளோம். தேதி தர வேண்டும் என்று கேட்டுள்ளனராம்.

இதைக் கேட்ட ஜெயலலிதா எனக்கு மக்கள் பணிகள் நிறைய இருக்கிறது. எனவே இதற்கெல்லாம் வர முடியாது என்று கூறி விட்டாராம். அத்தோடு நில்லாமல், இது மட்டுமல்ல திரையுலக விழாக்களுக்கு வரும் ஐடியாவே என்னிடம் இல்லை என்றும் கூறி விட்டாராம்.

முதல்வர் நாம் நடத்தும் விழாவுக்கு வருவார், ஐஸ் வைத்துப் பேசி தேவையானதைக் கேட்டுப் பெற்றுக் கொள்ளலாம் என்று கணக்குப் போட்ட நிர்வாகிகளுக்கு ஜெயலலிதாவின் இந்த அதிரடிப் பதில் ஷாக்கைக் கொடுத்துள்ளதாம்.

கடந்த ஆட்சியாளர்கள் செய்த தவறுகளை செய்யாமல் தவிர்ப்பதில் ஜெயலலிதா மிக மிக கவனமாக இருக்கிறார் என்பதற்கு இது மிகப் பெரிய உதாரணமாக கருதப்படுகிறது.

சினிமாத் தொழிலில் இருப்பவர்கள், சும்மா சும்மா, எதற்கெடுத்தாலும் போய் முதல்வரைப் பார்ப்பது, முறையிடுவது, மனு தருவது என்று தொந்தரவு செய்யாமல், மக்கள் நலப் பணிகளை செய்ய ஆட்சியாளர்களை அனுமதித்து, அந்த நேரத்தில் நல்ல படங்கள் எடுப்பதற்கான ஆக்கப்பூர்வமான பணிகளைச் செய்ய முயற்சித்தால் சினிமாவின் எதிர்காலத்திற்கு நல்லது. மக்களிடமும் நல்ல பெயர் கிடைக்கும்.

For people who would like to read a English version of the Maran story

Minister steals a telephone exchange, loots BSNL

CHENNAI: Indeed a shocking, daring robbery. A telecom central minister from Tamil Nadu got the BSNL to connect 323 telephone lines to his home, not in Delhi where he had work, but in Chennai where he had none. He got all the 323 home lines listed not in his name but in the name of the Chief General Manager BSNL Chennai. These lines virtually constituted a telephone exchange in the minister’s home. It was exclusively used for his family business by laying 3.4 km long secret cable along public roads to connect the lines to the business premises. This had caused huge loss to BSNL. Who was that enterprising minister? The infamous A Raja? No. It is the famous Dayanidhi Maran; Raja’s predecessor, now the central Textile Minister. The CBI, which probed the fraud, wrote to the Secretary Telecom on 10.9.2007 recommending action against Maran for the fraud.


Dayanidhi Maran was obviously not playing marbles with 323 telephones. He got the BSNL to lay separate and exclusive underground cable from his Boat Club home to the SUN TV office at Anna Arivalayam in Anna Salai and fraudulently linked the 323 home lines to his brother Kalanidhi’s SUN TV network. The first 23 of the 323 lines bore numbers ‘243722 11’ to ‘24372301’ and the next 300 lines bore numbers ‘24371500’ to ‘24371799’. Since the first four digits ‘2437’ were common for all 323 lines, the lines constituted a home telephone exchange. The Dayanidhi home exchange was operational in the SUN TV establishment for at least months from January 2007 through the fraudulent cable connection from Dayanidhi’s Boat Club home. They were no ordinary telephone lines, but costly ISDN lines, which could carry tons and tons of TV news and programmes faster than satellites to any part of the world. These lines, the CBI says in its report, are “normally used by medium to large commercial enterprises to meet special needs such as video conferencing, transmission of huge volume of digital data of audio and video” – precisely the facility that SUN TV would need for its telecasting operations. For this, the SUN TV would have paid huge cost. But it got it all free, at government’s cost.

The Maran home exchange, says the CBI, was “programmed in such a way that no one other than the authorised BSNL staff were aware of the existence of such an Exchange created for his [minister’s] exclusive use”. It added that by linking the minister’s home and SUN TV office by the stealthy cables, “it would appear as if the lines were used in the residence of the former minister, but actually the cables laid facilitated SUN TV network to utilise the services of BSNL provided at his residence”. Google map shows the distance to SUN TV as 3.4 kms along the main artery roads of the area, which were dug up to bury the illegal underground cables from Maran home to SUN TV office! It was not one of those secret White Collar frauds, but a crime committed in the open roads.

What could be the probable loss to the exchequer by this fraud? On “a sample study”, the CBI says, “it is learnt that 48,72,027 units of calls have emanated from [just] one Telephone No 24371515 in the month of March 2007 alone, which is indicative of the massive multimedia transfer in the underlying connections”. Just one of the 323 lines accounted for over 48 lakh call units in March 2007 alone – Yes almost 49 lakh call units in one month, through one of the 323 phones! Assume that each of the 323 connections was put to use as efficiently as Marans had operated the Number 24371515; the total number of call units SUN TV would have unlawfully robbed the BSNL during January 2007 to April 2007 [Maran resigned on May 13] could be as high as 629.5 crore call units. With the prevailing rate of 70 paise per call unit could the loss to BSNL be as high as `440 crore? Only a thorough investigation can reveal the true loot. But, the story does not end here. SUN TV’s print cousin ‘Dinakaran’, too has got its share of the loot. Says the CBI: “It is also learnt that similar service connections with ISDN facilities have been provided at the office of Dinakaran, a Tamil Daily, belonging to the group of SUN TV Network at Madurai, though specific phone numbers are not available”. But how did the CBI get to investigate the fraud and where is its report now? It calls for a brief flash back.

Maran, a grand nephew of Karunanidhi, was the central telecom minister from June 2004 to May 2007. Perhaps the only Hindi knowing family member, Maran was Karunanidhi’s eyes and ears in Delhi and his connect to Sonia Gandhi. The ‘young’ and ‘dynamic’ minister was amongst the most powerful in the UPA government of which the DMK was the most critical partner.

Telecom Ministry sitting on CBI report for over 44 months

Need an illustration for Maran’s reach then? Not only could he threaten Ratan Tata to part with a third of Tata DTH shares, but he also could threaten him not to reveal that he had threatened him! But suddenly, Maran fell from the cliff into the pit, thanks to a costly slip by Dinakaran, a Tamil daily owned by Dayanidhi’s brother Kalanidhi Maran. On 9.5.2007, Dinakaran carried an opinion poll that had trashed Karunanidhi’s son Alagiri as non-entity in Tamil Nadu politics. Alagiri’s angry supporters burnt down the Madurai establishment of Dinakaran on the same day, snuffing out the lives of three innocent staff. Karunanidhi sided with his son Alagiri against his grand nephews, the Marans. Result, Dayanidhi was instantly out of the DMK and the central ministry. It was then that the CBI probed the daring fraud. And now back to the main story.

The CBI had recommended action against Maran as early as in September 2007.

But the CBI letter is obviously sleeping somewhere since then, and for the last 44 months. The CBI letter had specifically asked the Telecom Secretary to bring the matter “to the notice of” Raja. So the case against Maran of DMK was to be approved by Raja also of DMK.

With the 2009 elections approaching, as was expected, warring nephews and sons of Karunanidhi patched up on December 1, 2008, with Karunanidhi saying, “my eyes grew moist and heart was content.” The CBI letter was perhaps used to make Marans fork out generous terms for peace. After the 2009 elections, Dayanidhi, who got elected, attempted again to make it to the Telecom Ministry, but could not.

He became the Textile Minister instead; and he is so even now.

With the family feud subsiding, the CBI letter against Maran began gathering dust somewhere in Telecom Ministry.

Haunted by the 2-G scam, Raja resigned in November 2010 and Kapil Sibal took over. Sibal is sitting on the CBI report since then.

And Maran, as Textile Minister, is sitting in cabinet meetings along with Sibal.

And despite the CBI advice for action against Maran sleeping for over 44 months, now Prime Minister promises to Baba Ramdev that he would tackle corruption with “seriousness” and “without delay”, while he himself is still sitting with Maran in cabinet meetings. It seems as much a comedy as it is a tragedy.

Hey what happened to kalaignar kapitu thittam is it still contiuning?

^^ If it continues means it will be renamed as "AMMA Kapitu thittam"...... :lol:

Hey what happened to kalaignar kapitu thittam is it still contiuning?

I remember reading, the name will change to MGR bla bla ...and Star Alliance will be kicked out ...

^^Let them change it as "Anna Kapitu thittam" as he is the role model for both DMK and ADMK.:)

Any one remember that jaya had charged this very same allegation at madurai campaign of her 2009 lok sabha election? daya threatened to sue her. after india today talking of mines, which again she had alleged, comes this.

Jaya was very graphic on details, many laughed then as some cooked up story.

Infact maran who filed against ET now filed a criminal complaint then.

CBI comes under DOPT which comes under PM,honest pm. The ex-honest cvc was also telecom secretary recently. all slept. 44 months. Honest bestest home minister pc would have known it.

Honest PM doesnt even respond to wiki leaks a minister claiming once in power we make money.

Yesterday pm held a meeting- agenda ramdev and maran. black money,anti corruption and minister with corruption charges. That signalled goose being cooked. Now Guru with his last line.

Also expect kala,daya to split soon. This I see many others also expect. Every thing of sun is under kalas name, so very easier to wash hands off.

But if kani is equally in trouble as raja as coconspirator, and 2g companies executives behind bar, Kalanidhi too will be in trouble as any attempt to save him by Sonia led cong for his money would means questions raised. If kani is co conspirator, kala will have to be named same in these as he is ultimate beneficiary as technically daya had no shares.

There is one more expose waiting as per my friend. AMC to maintain BSNL computers was given to one calisys owned by sharad kumar.

Dayanidhi MaranJayalalithaa, winding up her election campaign in Chennai on May 10, launched a broadside against former Communications Minister and DMK’s Central Chennai candidate Dayanidhi Maran, levelling corruption charges against him.

Jayalaithaa made the corruption charges on Maran earlier too during the course of her whirlwind 20-day campaign in the State, but Maran shot back he was sending defamation notice on the baseless allegation. This time she came out with some evidence, photocopies of a communication from CBI special director M L Sharma to the Secretary of the Union Telecommunication Ministry D S Mathur, which allegedly contains details of the probe. The copies were even circulated the mediapersons at the Pulla Reddi Avenue rally, which was her 41st election meeting.

She said that the CBI had unearthed the evidence of corruption charges against Dayananidhi Maran from the time he was Telecom Minister. "I have evidence of their investigation," Jayalalithaa said, addressing the public rally for Mohammed Ali Jinnah, who is pitted against Maran.

"When he (Maran) was telecom minister, BSNL provided him with 323 high-end telephone lines capable of carrying large amounts of data. For this purpose, a separate telephone exchange was even set up at his house," she added.

"In 2007, these lines were used for Sun TV by connecting the Sun TV office to his house by an exclusive cable. These lines were used by Sun TV net work for its massive multimedia transfer. A sample investigation done for the month March 2007 alone says that over 48 lakh units of calls were made from just one line," she said. One service number existing in his name, earlier to 2007, a sample study shows, had registered 76,852 calls for one month.

"Maran and family benefitted from this. At the same time, government lost money in crores. The details of this corruption came to light when Maran and Karunanidhi families fought, but were subsequently covered up, following a patch up in their families."

“When some do not even have one telephone, Maran had a telephone exchange, functioning in his house. I am sure Prime Miniter Manmohan Singh, Sonia and Union Minister A. Raja were aware of this corruption. They kept quiet because Dayanidhi was a minister from the coalition party," she said and added "Only you (the voters) can punish these people, who even the Prime Minister was not able to punish."

Incidentally, Maran’s poll plank is his achievement in the telecom sector.

asian tribune back in may 12 2009.

sorry couldnt find other media links as google throws up latest expose by guru more.

Former Union Minister Dayanidhi Maran, who is seeking re-election from South Chennai Lok Sabha constituency, has filed a criminal case against AIADMK General Secretary J Jayalalithaa for her charge that he had secured 323 telephone connections and used them for Sun TV network, while in office.

Dismissing the charge as "false:, he said in a statement in Chennai that Ms Jayalalithaa had made the charge during electioneering, based on "half-baked" information.

Ms Jayalalithaa, while on her poll campaign, had alleged that Mr. Maran had misused his official position, when he was the Union IT and Communications Minister, had a telephone exchange functioning at his house and had used the lines for promoting the interests of Sun TV network.

Mr. Maran had threatened to go to court and sent a legal notice. But still Ms. Jayalalithaa winding up her campaign in Chennai, again charged Mr. Maran of misusing his official facility, and not only provided more details of the accusation, but also released papers of communication between CBI and the Communications Ministry.

On May 12, Mr. Maran came to Egmore Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court with a team of advocates and filed a criminal case against Ms. Jayalalithaa. Although she was warned by a notice, she was committing the same mistake again, he said in his disposition. The magistrate posted the case for hearing on June 12.

Mr. Maran said that after he had stepped down from the Union Ministry, someone had sent a letter to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), levelling charges against him. The CBI had referred the same to the Telecom department, which after an inquiry, declared that there was not an iota of truth in the allegation. This was the only base for Ms Jayalalithaa's charge, he said, adding he had availed only one telephone connection while he was a Minister and had no outstanding dues as on date.

To fortify his argument, Mr. Maran produced a copy of the letter by Ms. V Meenalochiny, General Manager, Chennai Telephones, who had stated that only a telephone connection was allotted to him at his residence, when he was the Union Minister.

As an MP, Mr. Maran was eligible for 1,50,000 metered unit calls an year and out of 4,50,000 eligible metered call units for three years, Mr. Maran had used only 1,73,698 calls from December 2006 to March 2009. This showed he had not exceeded his eligible metered call units, Ms Meenalochiny said.

She made it clear that "there are no outstanding dues as on date".

ap and TN were backbone of congress led upa power in 2004 two states that decisively ended vajpayee rule.

two states expected to reverse in 2009. but gave almost same results, ap even better.

Incidentally two states were presided by two saints then who never looted, two saints who never followed cash for votes, freebie for votes. just like no cash for votes took place in 2008.

So two states once again laid foundation for upa2.

And dont forget out honest media which crawls when asked to bend, which ensured the saints.

the series of exposes recently cleary indicates the intention of Cong to dump DMK and embrace ADMK. Whatever is happening is only selective leaks, but one question is that if DMK is pushed to a corner in 2g case, will thatha not reveal Annai's part in 2g loot....?

Subbu,

Without doubt. thatha wont take it lying down that too at this stage with his family being taken off. there is case to involve dayalu, rajathi may come in subsequent chargesheet. Then expect thatha to open lid.


This is the strategy as i understand from swamy interviews, tweets.

He had claerly mentioned after raja, kani, it will be maran. Thats happenning.

He also mentioned next target is PC who is door to annai and her family's indian version of zardari. That is how PC is strong. If there is clown prince for diggy, indian zardari for pc.

Now read this

Investigation into allotment of spectrum licences between the years 2001 and 2007 is set to gather momentum with the Central Bureau of Investigation expecting to record the written statement of NRI businessman and Chairman of the Sterling Group, C Shivasankaran, within the next few days.


Significantly, Shivasankaran has already had one round of interactions with top CBI officials handling the 2G spectrum probe. And that meeting — on May 18 — happened at the behest of former Director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, Louis Freeh.


Officials said that Freeh, who headed the FBI between 1993 and 2001, and is now a practising lawyer and consultant, described Shivasankaran, or Shiva as he is called, as his “client”. The same day, the CBI had also arranged for Freeh to deliver an in-house lecture at its new headquarters and Shivasankaran promised to return within the next two to three weeks for his statement to be formally recorded.

The role of the NRI businessman could be critical to the next stage of investigations in the 2G scam. This is because Textiles Minister and former telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran is currently under attack for being in an A Raja-like situation to allegedly favour the Malasiya-based Maxis Group and its proprieter Ananda Krishnan in the award of 14 UASL licences for his company, Aircel.


And it was Shivasankaran, who in 2005 — after his applications for more licences were reportedly put in cold storage by the Telecom Ministry — sold his entire stake in Aircel to Maxis and their Indian partner, the Reddy family of Apollo Hospital with a 74% and 26% equity respectively.


The deal was struck for $1.08 billion and within a short time, all pending applications of Aircel were cleared by the Ministry along with seven more. Maran and Maxims now face allegations of a quid pro quo since months after the grant of new licences, group companies of Ananda Krishnan reportedly put in $150 million (approximately Rs 600 crore) into DMK-owned Sun TV.


The CBI which has already registered a PE (preliminary enquiry) into the pre-Raja grant of licences against “unknown persons” folowing directions from the apex court is understood to have stated in its last status report that with two charegsheets filed, it will “actively” pursue the probe into spectrum allocations made during Maran’s tenure.


Said a senior official: “In this scenario, the testimony and complaints of Shiva could assume importance. We need a complainant and the indication so far is that Shivasankaran may have been pressured into selling his stake to Maxis.”

சென்னை : சென்னை தலைமைச் செயலகத்தில் இன்று பத்திரிகையாளர்களை சந்தித்த முதல்வர் ஜெயலலிதா அளித்த பேட்டியில் : தேர்தல் வாக்குறுதியில் கூறப்பட்ட முக்கிய வாக்குறுதியான இலவச அரிசி வழங்கும் திட்டத்தை நிறைவேற்றியதில் மிகவும் பூரிப்பு அ*டைகிறேன் என்றார். பள்ளிக்கல்விக் கட்டணம் குறித்த கேள்விக்கு பதிலளித்த ஜெயலலிதா : பள்ளிக் கல்விக் கட்டணம் தொடர்பாக பள்ளிக்கூடங்களோ அல்லது பாதிக்கப்பட்ட பெற்றோர்கள் தரப்பில் இருந்து கோரிக்கை வரும் பட்சத்தில் அரசு நிச்சயமாக தலையிடும் என்றார். மத்திய அமைச்சர் தயாநிதி மாறன் குறித்த கேள்விக்கு பதிலளித்த ஜெயலலிதா : மத்திய அமைச்சர் தயாநிதி மாறன் அவர் மீது ஊழல் குற்றச்சாட்டுகள் எழுந்துள்ள நிலையில், பதவியை ராஜினாமா செய்ய வேண்டும். பிரதமர் மன்மோகன் சிங்குக்கு இந்த விஷயத்தை எப்படி கையாள வேண்டும் என்பது தெரியும். எனவே அவர் தயாநிதி மாறன் பதவியை ராஜினாமா செய்ய வலியுறுத்துவார் என நம்புகிறேன் என்றார்.

எளிமையான அரசு விழாக்கள் : அனைத்து அரசு விழாக்களும் இனிமேல் எளிமையாகத்தான் நடக்கும் என முதல்வர் ஜெயலலிதா கோட்டையில் அளித்த பேட்டியில் கூறினார். வீண் ஆடம்பரமாக செலவு செய்து அரசு விழாக்களை நடத்தக்கூடாது என்பது இந்த அரசின் கொள்கை. அடுத்து தொடரும் திட்டங்களுக்கான விழாவும் இதுபோல் எளிமையாக நடைபெறும். தமிழ்நாட்டிலும் இனி எல்லா பொருட்களையும், ரேசன் கடைகளில் எப்போதும் வாங்கலாம். பொருட்களை பதுக்கி வைக்கும் நிலை இனி இருக்காது. தமிழகத்தில் மின் கட்டணம் உயராது. தமிழக மக்களுக்கு சுமையை அதிகரிக்கும் எந்த நடவடிக்கையும் அரசு எடுக்காது. தேர்தல் அறிக்கையில் குறிப்பிட்டப்படி கூடுதலாக 5000 மெகாவாட் மின்சாரத்தை அதிகமாக உற்பத்தி செய்ய நடவடிக்கை எடுத்து வருகிறது என்றும் கூறினார்.இதற்கிடையில் ஏர்செல் நிறுவனத்துக்கு 2ஜி அலைக்கற்றை ஒதுக்குவதில் முறைகேட்டில் ஈடுபட்டதாக மத்திய அமைச்சர் தயாநிதி மாறன் எழுந்துள்ள ஊழல் புகார் தொடர்பாக சுப்ரிம்*கோர்ட்டில், லோக்பால் வரைவு மசோதா குழுவின் உறுப்பினரான பிரசாந்த் பூஷன் பிரமாண வாக்குமூலம் தாக்கல் செய்துள்ளார். அதில் தயாநிதி மாறன் மீது எழுந்துள்ள குற்றச்சாட்டு குறித்து சி.பி.ஐ., விசாரணைக்கு சுப்ரிம்கோர்ட் உத்தரவிட வேண்டும் என்று கேட்டுக் கொண்டுள்ளார்.

her thought process seems very encouraging....great going AMMA.


Really, yesterday in the press conferance the way she handled the issues and media.. hats off to amma..

That will be good for the country .. two corrupt parties get exposed in the peoples court , already one has been thrown out of power and the same should happen to the corrupt UPA2 ..

You never know... they get exposed in peoples court but will be back to power with absolute majority as if they did nothing wrong... as Amma is now back to power :lol:

we have no choice but to choose the lesser evil (at the time of election)

இந்த நிலையில் தற்போது ஆட்சி மாறியும், சினிமாக்காரர்களின் காட்சி மாறவில்லை. முதல்வராகப் பொறுப்பேற்றுள்ள ஜெயலலிதாவையும் தங்களது வலையில் வீழ்த்த அவர்கள் துடியாய்த் துடித்து வருகின்றனர்

On results day,gave audience to Actor Vijay, and daughters of Rajanikant. Recently 'Aadukalam' team met her.

You can't prevent show business people showing of their 'colours' to please the king/queen. Soon wait for poets.

Historically, Rulers kept Priests for astro advice, Dancers for enjoyment,poets for self praise and allowed access to arms makers..

We are still a feudal society...

If the erstwhile regime in Tamil Nadu went out of its way to please and patronize film personalities as its leader was at the forefront of attending almost all film-related functions, the present set-up in the State appears to be willing to deviate from the beaten track.

A team of office-bearers of FEFSI, an organization which has many film associations affiliated to it, is said to have met Jayalalitha recently and requested her to ‘allot time’ to enable them to organize a function on behalf of the entire film fraternity to honour her on winning the recent elections and becoming the chief minister of the State.

Amma, who has impressed the electorate, public and the press in a short span of time by her welfare measures as well as by her style of administration, is said to have flatly refused to attend such a function citing that she had a ‘lot of work to take car of’ which would have a bearing on the welfare of the people. She also reportedly made it clear that she didn’t intend attending film-related functions.

CM's refusal to attend the function is seen as a clear indicator that she’s determined not to commit the ‘mistakes’ of the previous regime and instead concentrate in running the State as a ‘model State’ in the country!

^^ OMG...
And people like Seyoan will still support these high profile thieves.

Yes the whole TN has supported our CM who has 17 cases pending against her !!! Its all part of DemocraZy!!!

Karuna defends previous government's freebies
02 Jun 2011 , NewIE
CHENNAI: Strongly defending the 'freebies' of erstwhile DMK government, former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi today said it did not come at the cost of developmental schemes.


Freebies were not implemented by securing loans meant for developmental schemes, he said in a statement here, adding in a welfare state, such schemes should not be neglected.

The economic development of a country could not benefit all in initial stages and welfare schemes alone could reduce the disparity between the poor and others, the DMK chief, whose government had distributed rice at rs one per kg besides free colour TVs, said.

AIADMK government's decision to implement free rice scheme and hike amount given under marriage assistance scheme had only endorsed his government's actions. Any government, which negelected welfare schemes, and only implemented developmental schemes would be considered anti-poor, he said.He denied that implementation of welfare schemes had increased state's debt burden. "There is nothing new in the government getting loans for the implementation of welfare and developmental schemes. Even the US and European countries were implementing schemes with the assistance of loans," he said.

He said though his government was implementing welfare schemes since 2006,the state had revenue surplus till 2009.

The revenue deficit from 2009 was due to reduced tax revenu and implementation of the sixth pay commission recommendations for state government employees, he claimed.

This guy deserves :applause: . We need more like him and our educational system should encourage more such attempts.

there's no harm in attending a film function a few times in a year but MK went overboard attending so many and forgetting people elected him to govern. As long as it is song release kind of functions done in non-official hours, it is ok. No jalra parattu vizhas!!

Yes the whole TN has supported our CM who has 17 cases pending against her !!! Its all part of DemocraZy!!!

Expected response!

I dont understand how you people are so ignorant of the magnitude of the charges against the DMK gang? How can you compare a few crores against the thousands of crores that is involved in the recent corruption charges against DMK? There is a HUGE difference sir... You have decided to be blind and ignorant.. So, cant help it!

:ohno: whoever loots and whatever amount of public money they loot we see them as equal - THEIVES... we would like them to be punished based on the magnitude they cheated.... few crores might be easy money for you but not for me / many of us.

You can't be proud to say my state CM has 17 criminal cases pending against her.

You might be an AIADMK supporter but I'm not a DMK supporter !!! :lol:

JJ spent 200Crores on that stupid marriage in 90's............
Kodanad estate is just few crores?/??

All the figures in the CAG report is just a speculation based on opportunistic cost using a totally stupid model that would not stand the scrutiny of anyone who knows the basics of finance. Even the report states that it is neither scientific nor mathematical, then why the heck the report is talked about?

It is all media and a bunch of ignorant fools.

^^ The cost is arrived based on what the equivalent spectrum is sold in other countries. Why would these ministers be so ignorant when dealing such a high profile contracts?
If they did not know what the so called oppportunitic cost was, why did they accept such a hefty bribe?
Or if I have to come your way - Even without knowing what the actual opportunity was, they accepted several hundres crores as bribe - then just see to yourself, how much would have have got as bribe, had they known what the actual opportunity was.

And your point here is so pathetic... Because JJ was corrupt, MK and his family can be equally corrupt. If you are so hatred about JJ's corruption - you should be equally hatred towards MK & Co's high magnitude corruption. But, that seriously is not the case.

^^ The cost is arrived based on what the equivalent spectrum is sold in other countries.

Not true, they used data that was ex-post in India


Or if I have to come your way - Even without knowing what the actual opportunity was, they accepted several hundres crores as bribe - then just see to yourself, how much would have have got as bribe, had they known what the actual opportunity was.


That is the point, they did accept bribe but that is only to the tune of few hundred crores, I am not denying that, it is the norm with Amma/Thata/Annai etc
The media with vested interest has blown it out of proportion and by their propoganda the masses have believed that MK looted lakhs of crores. That is factually incorrect.
Failure to notice the oppurtunity is not just with Raja, we have the blame all the Telecom ministers for the last few decades. How much revenue did India lose by the previous governments not implementing 2G when the technology is several decades old, would CAG blame them for their inaction and the loss of govt that would be 300,000 crores plus


And your point here is so pathetic... Because JJ was corrupt, MK and his family can be equally corrupt. If you are so hatred about JJ's corruption - you should be equally hatred towards MK & Co's high magnitude corruption. But, that seriously is not the case.

From the corruption angle I do not see any difference between JJ and MK, for numbers sake the latter may even be more corrupt. But my preference for MK is because of his actions on the Industrial front.

Oh yes, all scams involving Jaya are audited and true. Anything against Mu.ka didn't happen and was made up as part of Aryan conspiracy theory. Here comes an auditor better qualified than CAG to say that :)

Seyon Anna,
even 1977 itself, Sarkaria commission told MK is master in looting money..
neenga katchi mara venam.. be there in DMK for 3 yrs..
After that you will become common man(yentha katchiyum sarathavar), because "DMK" will not be there :lol:

^^ Had it been him or someone from his family in place of Raja, he would have moved out of DMK already!! He don't even have an iota of idea about to what extent DMK goondas went to armtwist small business owners and landowners.

Thalaivaliyum, vayathupokkum avanga-avangalukku vandha than theriyum.

Thalaivaliyum, vayathupokkum avanga-avangalukku vandha than theriyum.
true KT.. as i mentioned in one of my earlier post, my friend's relative was about to loose 16 cr worth land for just 75 lakh...
I am not ADMK.. but i never ever vote for DMK.

^^ Siding with a party of his choice is his prerogative.

But arguing as if MK was conductive and saviour to businesses even after several folks pointed out how they systematically they planned, arm-twisted and killed small-scale sectors (even threatned few large / medium scale including Tatas and Sterling group) and grabbed lands and businesses from them is what irks me.

How come threatning industrialists and businessmen are linked to conductive business environment? Enlighten me with arguments other than trying to justify one wrong with another in corruption!!!

They fail to see the amount of corruption and rowdism that was widely prevelent which is unparelleled since independence.

Hello Seyoan,

I would like start by recalling a saying " you can wake up a man who is asleep, but not a man who is pretending to be sleeping "

Few points to ponder for you sir --

In September 2007, the telecommunications ministry, auctioned additional licences for 2G mobile operators and allocated additional spectrum. The companies acquired what are called Unified Access Service Licences by paying just Rs 1,651 crore - the price determined in 1999, when demand for mobile telephony was a fraction of what it was in 2007.

Will you sell your property in 2007 at 1999 price ???



Not true, they used data that was ex-post in India.

CAG report used to derive its calculations was a presumptive offer of Rs 13,752 crore made by Chennaibased S-Tel for 6.2 megahertz of pan-India 2G spectrum in December 2007 in a letter to the Prime Minister.

It was not based on any ex-post India reference.....


. But my preference for MK is because of his actions on the Industrial front.

-- Do you know whats happening to Tiruppur textile industry....

-- Do you know how BHEL has decided to move to suppliers outside TN due to power shortage issue resulting in reduction of output for TN suppliers...

I am sure.... u will reply to all these, thats why my initial saying will help other readers ...

:ohno: whoever loots and whatever amount of public money they loot we see them as equal - THEIVES... we would like them to be punished based on the magnitude they cheated.... few crores might be easy money for you but not for me / many of us.

You can't be proud to say my state CM has 17 criminal cases pending against her.

You might be an AIADMK supporter but I'm not a DMK supporter !!! :lol:

I think only one case is pending. She got acquited in court in all other (some may be technical reasons) cases.

From the corruption angle I do not see any difference between JJ and MK, for numbers sake the latter may even be more corrupt. But my preference for MK is because of his actions on the Industrial front.

Industrial development happened to some extent. But seriously the Law & Order was totally messed up. Day time robbery of land happened throughout the state by DMK ministers.
Reliable sources say that, Ex Minister Veerapandi Aarumugam openly talked in a meeting with Lorry Owner's Association at Sankagiri, promising them that he will not grab any land in the Salem - Bhavani stretch of NH47 hereafter & he will be satified with just 25 lakh per month from the association.

Sir - I know you are an adament supporter of DMK and Co. You may be living somewhere outside India and have never been living a common-man's life in the state for a long time.

Common-men of the state have given the verdict. You please continue to have good trust on DMK and Co. You will regret one day.

friends just wait for the Budget session tomorrow. For DMK, for sun tv group, for MK family serana appu iruku............

I think only one case is pending. She got acquited in court in all other (some may be technical reasons) cases.
yes not 17.... 10 cases according to what she declared on nomination paper for elections...

http://myneta.info/tamilnadu2011/index.php?action=show_winners&sort=criminal

Y'day JJ said that PM should sack Dayanidhi Maran because of allegation... but why she is in power if there is still 10 pending cases :)

All I could see here is so many explaining the scams and magnitude of scams by DMK but remain silent when it comes to the scams and atrocities done by JJ and Sasikala group...

Blaming DMK doesn't justify AIADMK is perfect... Both are criminals and sadly we dont have an alternative...

Will you sell your property in 2007 at 1999 price ???



Many are NOT declaring the value of the property as they sell in 2011.... probably he would have did the same :lol:

All are guilty in one form or other....

Oh yes, all scams involving Jaya are audited and true. Anything against Mu.ka didn't happen and was made up as part of Aryan conspiracy theory. Here comes an auditor better qualified than CAG to say that :)

CAG is not a non partisan group, lift the veil and you would see the conspiracy.
You do not need to be a better than CAG auditor to find the mistakes in the CAG report.
If you do not agree with what I said, please refute my statement with justification rather than abusing me.

Please do not bring in race/caste into the equation.

Looks like you never heard about the stories of people in ECR/Anna Nagar and Mannargudi that lost their land to Amma for peanuts.

They fail to see the amount of corruption and rowdism that was widely prevelent which is unparelleled since independence.

The very fact that industry flourished in spite of all the so called threats itself vindicates that its impact and magnitude is much smaller compared to what they had seen in Amma's rule. In her rule they just skipped/left TN that talks volumes about what happened in Ammas time.

Day time robbery of land in TN has seen an historical low in the last five years. Please talk to some real estate barons to know the truth. I am not saying MK et al are angels, their corruption model is much different than Ammas, MK takes a slice of the central kitty while Amma loots just the people of TN.



Common-men of the state have given the verdict. You please continue to have good trust on DMK and Co. You will regret one day.

Common man just changes their allegiance once every 5 years.

Common man just changes their allegiance once every 5 years.
Hi Seyoan,
TN people did not change their decision every 5 yrs upto MGR period..
MK never completed his 5 yrs team until 1996. All his prev Governments were either dissolved or he took partially in betw.
MK could not come to power from 1977 to 1989 (87 MGR died)..
MK could not find any corruption in the 2001-2006 rule.
2001-2006 was much better than 1991-1996 JJ regime.
2006 ADMK lost due to political alliance equation only..
In 2006 also, DMK did not get full majority. They were minority only and got upto 99 seats...
This time, 2011 the verdict is clear and DMK could not even become opponent party...:lol: Even now, in the assembly they cant be called as party since they do not have 10% of MLAs. DMK need to sit with smaller parties only..

So you can wait..But how long?

CAG report used to derive its calculations was a presumptive offer of Rs 13,752 crore made by Chennaibased S-Tel for 6.2 megahertz of pan-India 2G spectrum in December 2007 in a letter to the Prime Minister.
...

Based on this assumption the speculative loss is only 53523 Crores, again this offer is with revenue sharing, what if Stel declares a loss or worst does not get enough revenues ?
It would be a big Namam for the government. CAG assumed that STel would pay the revenue share fully. Probably CAG team members has never lived in India to witness how Indian corporates pay their taxes to Government and how they honor all the revenue sharing deals.

Based on this assumption the speculative loss is only 53523 Crores, again this offer is with revenue sharing,
even 53523 Crores is not a small money right?

1.76 crore loss to exchequer or 30000 crores loessto exchecquer is a loss and we do not know how much bribe went to MK's family .
Family rule and kurunila mannargal rule was not there during 2001-06
sasikala's family was in control than MK's

give me some pointers for better MK rul

Guys.. Athan Thatha poi Amma vanduthangella.. Innum why this akkappor!! Freeya vidunga.. Lets discuss what Amma will do to TN now!!

The very fact that industry flourished in spite of all the so called threats itself vindicates that its impact and magnitude is much smaller compared to what they had seen in Amma's rule. In her rule they just skipped/left TN that talks volumes about what happened in Ammas time.

Wow which industry flourished? The entire western and southern belt (+ its natural resources) got raped of whatever industries they had, and people are migrating out and you call it minimal impact? The worst is the family, kurunila mannars and various power centers and binamis of DMK acquired those at throw-away price when businessmen can't take loss anymore.

What is minimal is the development. Anyways like subbu said you can wake up a man only if he is in sleep. I am done with my arguments.

Past is past and thatha & co is punished for that. Like Murali said let's see what happens the next 5 years!!

Guys.. Athan Thatha poi Amma vanduthangella.. Innum why this akkappor!! Freeya vidunga.. Lets discuss what Amma will do to TN now!!

Hope she will turn a new leaf. :)

However wont be too surprised if she turns out otherwise.

But my preference for MK is because of his actions on the Industrial front.

you have wrongly posted in IT corridor, this suits for your statement here.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Looks like you never heard about the stories of people in ECR/Anna Nagar and Mannargudi that lost their land to Amma for peanuts.

But thatha party looted all over TN in the form of Kurunilla mannars.... Its magnitude is 8.9 and ADMK magnitude was 5.

8.9 was huge and created a Tsumani in this election and you are singing the old song!

Pls change the tune, it is boring.

For neutral people, DMK is needed again! If ADMK do the mistake like DMK, then same Tsunami will attack ADMK in next election. But with family dynasty and Kurunilla mannar concept DMK has lost its fame among the neutral voters! To tune back these neutral voters again, all they have to do kick out family from DMK also Kurunilla mannars!! Then it will be Anna Kanda Thi Moo Ka.. otherwsie it is just a Mu Ka propery.

Again i know you bring mannargudi bla bla.. yes it is there. But not to the mangitude of family business in DMK.

Thatha built a grave yard for DMK by aligning with INC every election. INC has eaten the great vote share of DMK..:ohno:

Again i know you bring mannargudi bla bla.. yes it is there. But not to the mangitude of family business in DMK.

Thatha built a grave yard for DMK by aligning with INC every election. INC has eaten the great vote share of DMK..:ohno:

He built the grave yard when he promoted Alagiri,Kanni and Raja to forefront. It was going well under Stalin + Maran when lots of IT telecom investments ( motorola, samsung....), Nissan and the best part was there were looking to improve the image, green cover of the city. Had the bigoted BJP,AIADMK not objected to sethu samudram and PMK with Titanium Dioxide, even south TN would have bloomed by now.

But alas thatha started promoting family and rest as they say is history. A golden opportunity to put TN to forefront was lost in 2000 when Jaya came instead of Stalin and now, however since the world economy is in doldrums and no major investments are in the offing, Jaya is ok.

friends just wait for the Budget session tomorrow. For DMK, for sun tv group, for MK family serana appu iruku............

Expecting Arasu cable nationalization and a roadmap for 24-hr power supply from the Governer's (aka aatu thadi) address tomorrow at the minimum.

With respect to aapu for MK family, congress is doing that job now and I wish JJ just waits and watches the show and focuses on other pressing things.

Jayalalithaa breaks a vow for cadres' sake

Fourteen years after she took a vow not to wear any jewellery, the glint is back on Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.

Asked about the small ear studs she was wearing at a press conference on Wednesday, Ms. Jayalalithaa, mildly surprised, wondered why no one has asked the question till now.

“I have not been wearing any jewellery since 1997. However, this did not go down well with the party cadre. Time and again, they have told me to reconsider my decision, but I refused.”

She took the vow on January 10, 1997 not to wear any ornaments or wrist watches after the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti Corruption (DVAC) seized all her jewellery and leaked the photographs to media.

Deeply hurt, she vowed to retrieve all her jewellery, sell them off and give the proceeds for charity. Ms. Jayalalithaa used to sport diamond ear studs before that.

She said that when it became clear on May 13 that the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) will have the majority to form government, party cadre who assembled at her house insisted that she should resume wearing her jewellery at least now.

They threatened to immolate themselves if she turned down their request.

“My cadre tend to carry out what they say. Many had committed self-immolation in the past for various reasons. I was taken aback by this. I did not want any untoward incident to happen at the time of celebrations. Therefore, I changed my mind and began wearing ear studs from [May] 14th,” she said.

VOTIVE OFFERINGS

In this context, she said that votive offerings by party workers caused her great distress.

Referring to a woman supporter cutting off her own tongue to fulfil a vow she had made while praying for her victory in the election, she said, “She has undergone surgery and is now able to talk a little and doctors say she will soon regain her speech fully.”

Ms. Jayalalithaa clarified that the woman was given a government job as a humanitarian gesture and not as an encouragement of her offering. The Chief Minister said that she never expected someone to act like this.

“I enquired about her condition. Her husband has deserted her and she has two children. She has no income, and I thought the mother has to be saved for the sake of her children's sustenance. This was why she was given a government job, and not because I wanted to reward or encourage her.”

All schemes formulated for agriculture sector will be implemented: Minister



Within a year all schemes and subsidies formulated for agriculture sector will be implemented to make Tamil Nadu a model State in agriculture, Minister for Agriculture K.A. Sengottaiyan said here on Thursday.

Addressing the 41st Foundation Day of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, he said scientists had to contribute their bit to make this dream of Chief Minister Jayalalithaa a reality.

“Increasing agricultural production and feeding the population of the country are two areas that need focus. There is a general complaint that farm technologies are not reaching the farmer. But, Tamil Nadu is an example where scientists are working hand in hand with farmers to see that technologies are reaching the farmer to the extent possible.”

Recalling the contribution of the university in the development of agriculture, Mr. Sengottaiyan said those who had passed out from the portals of the university were serving the country and the world in various capacities. Their continued services were very vital to the country, which had 56 per cent of the population involved in agriculture and 1.30 lakh hectares under cultivation.

Later, answering questions of presspersons on the ban on endosulfan, the Minister said the government was familiarising itself with the issues and in due course the Chief Minister would announce relevant policy decisions.

He replied in similar vein to a question on the Tamil Nadu Toddy Movement's plea to the Chief Minister for lifting the ban on toddy tapping.

MAJOR ROLE

Minister of Special Programme Implementation S.P. Velumani said TNAU had played a major role in transforming production-oriented agriculture into market-oriented agriculture.

“Even though the economy is doing well and various businesses are prospering, it is a fact that farmers are not in an economically enviable position. Many schemes and subsidies were not reaching the farmers so far. Without improving the quality of the life of the farmer, we cannot look forward to increasing production and productivity.”

To mark the Foundation Day, 72 staff members who had completed 25 years of service were honoured. In addition, 41 awards were given away for the best researcher, teacher, extension worker, team researcher, college, research station, and Krishi Vigyan Kendra.

As many as 70 faculties, who had obtained research grants of Rs.5 lakh and above, were also honoured. Vice-Chancellor P. Murugesa Boopathi, Registrar P. Subbian, and Director of Research M. Paramathma spoke.

Fishermen's post-holiday hopes hardly shore up catch

Fishermen of Cuddalore district are a worried lot because they are unable to get a sizeable catch even after the 45-day fishing holiday. Usually, they reap rich harvest in the beginning of June, comprising heterogeneous varieties. However, this time their expeditions are as good as dry runs.

The Cuddalore Port area, the major fish landing yard, is getting only sardines which have low market value. This variety is much sought after by traders in Kerala, who, in turn, send them to upcountry markets.

The sardines fetch good dividends only to bulk buyers whereas the fishermen would have to be content with lesser income. Locally, a limited quantity of the sardines are converted into dry fish

Even the sardines are said to be sparsely populated now and therefore, the fishermen affected by the difference in money they spend on fuel and returns they get.

Some of the fishermen in the Cuddalore Port area were lucky to get a prize catch in “rays fish” (thirukkai in Tamil) weighing 75 kg on Thursday. It is said to be having medicinal value and hence, would fetch high price.

A.Amirthalingam of Thazhanguda told The Hindu that soon after the fishing ban was lifted, the fishermen went to the sea with great expectations of bringing ashore large quantity of fish.

But, their expectations were belied as they could get only homogenous variety, that too in lesser quantity. Experience had shown that after the ban period, the sea would be replete with kaleidoscopic varieties of fishes, including high-end varieties such as “seer” (vanjiram in Tamil) and prawn.

Mr. Amirthalngam, a seasoned fisherman, said that the depletion in shoals of fishes could be attributed mainly to two reasons - the direction of underwater current, and indiscriminate usage of the “purse seine nets.”

He regretted that extensive use of the purse seine nets had depleted the marine sources because these nets would have a deeper reaches to scoop up even the hatchlings. Mr. Amirthalingam was apprehensive that if such a trend continued, fish would go dear for the consumption of even the coastal community.

Fisheries Department sources said that strong winds blowing on the high seas had caused the rolling up of fishing nets. The catch would be fairly good only in the widespread net and not in the curled up one. The sources further said that usage of purse seine nets was banned.

According to Mr. Amirthalingam, only solace for the fishermen was that the State government had enhanced the compensation for the fishing holiday period from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 2,000 per family.

Don't abandon social security schemes, says Karunanidhi

On the eve of the Governor's address to the Assembly spelling out the new regime's policies, former Chief Minister M Karunanidhi on Thursday cautioned the government against abandoning social security programmes such as the health insurance scheme introduced by him.

“If any government ignores such social security schemes and concentrates only on development schemes, it will lead to the neglect of the interests of the poor and the weak,” Mr. Karunanidhi said, writing for his party daily, Murasoli.

‘Will the AIADMK government continue to implement the health insurance scheme, through which 2.62 lakh poor people availed of advanced treatment, and the ‘108' ambulance scheme with the same vigour? Or, will they be put on hold like the new Secretariat complex or the uniform system of education?” Mr. Karunanidhi wondered.

Arguing that the latest scheme of distributing 20 kg of rice free of cost, introduced by the Jayalalithaa government, was only an extension of his government's policy of selling rice initially at Rs.2 per kg and then at Re.1, the DMK president said it was such social safety schemes implemented by his regime that had ensured food security for the poor and led to a situation in which there were no starvation deaths in Tamil Nadu. His regime had spent Rs.4,000 crore on food subsidy.

Further, his government's decision to extend free education to first-generation students admitted to professional courses that led to a substantial increase in admissions in professional colleges and polytechnics – from 2.85 lakh students in 2005-06 to 6.90 lakh in 2010-11.

Free colour television sets and gas stoves were among other schemes introduced by the DMK regime for the uplift of the poor, but some had termed them ‘freebies' and argued that these were detrimental to economic growth. “However, considering the fact that the same critics are now coming forward to implement such schemes, the beneficiaries will, hopefully, notice that it is the DMK government's programme that is being continued,” he said.

Dismissing criticism that his government had borrowed heavily to meet its ‘freebies' expenditure, Mr. Karunanidhi said that on the contrary, his regime's borrowings were mainly for meeting capital expenditure.

Referring to Chief Minister Jayalalithaa's remarks that the DMK regime had left behind a debt burden of more than Rs.1 lakh crore and that the financial position had to be set right soon, he said he was hoping that Finance Department officials would have given her a suitable explanation. His government's borrowings were well within fiscal norms set out by the Centre.

The State's debt at the end of 2010-11 amounted only to 19.58 per cent of the Gross State Domestic Product, well below the 25 per cent upper limit fixed by the Centre. “The DMK government was quite responsible in its borrowings and much of the money was spent on capital expenditure.”

He built the grave yard when he promoted Alagiri,Kanni and Raja to forefront. It was going well under Stalin + Maran when lots of IT telecom investments ( motorola, samsung....), Nissan and the best part was there were looking to improve the image, green cover of the city. Had the bigoted BJP,AIADMK not objected to sethu samudram and PMK with Titanium Dioxide, even south TN would have bloomed by now.

But alas thatha started promoting family and rest as they say is history. A golden opportunity to put TN to forefront was lost in 2000 when Jaya came instead of Stalin and now, however since the world economy is in doldrums and no major investments are in the offing, Jaya is ok.

Lol! It was BJP who approved the Sethu project... DMK and INC just done politics on the same including the ADMK.

And still the saint thinking on Maran and stalin prevails.:nuts:

Let maran stand alone, only SUN group emp will vote for him....:lol:

KD brothers are going to be the biggest looters than Alags or Kani or rasa! wait and watch... Enough said about stalin...:lol:

I have a simple doubt on samaseer kalvi.. do we have L.K.G and U.K.G in government schools?

Private schools kids get introduced to numbers, rhymes, alphatets in english and tamil from L.K.G but gvt schools from 1st std? so there is 2yrs difference here itself.

How this was tackled?

I know Thatha used that phrase but still it was said in jest and not to be taken literally!!

^^ That's because thatha said that phrase. And again he saying that itself is wrong at the first place. People of TN might have given him rest from CM's post, but Tiruvarur people didn't. They voted and sent him back to work to attend assembly :)

^^ Err... :sly: Din't I mention abt that in that post.. see last line...

^^ Well you did say at the "jest " of the moment.

How long have you been following TN elections (especially MK's losses)? You'll see phrases like "komallikku votu pottutanga (MGR)", "Tamizhaga makkal suvatril aditha pindam, yaarukku votu podarathunnu puriyathu", "Tamizhnaatu makkal vaazhai mattaigal" etc.,

He has the long history of showing his frustration at people and mock at democracy buddy. You need to know Karunanidhi more. MGR didn't refer him as "Theeya sakthi" without a reason. Everything Mu.Ka says and does is with intention and not just at the jest of the moment. (And that intention is not for the benefit of people). This time he handed over the actual script (what he wanted to say) to Kushboo and made the rest statement.

Ok... I might not know that much.. But I was just reacting to that comment that he should
sit idle.. உங்களுடைய கருத்தை இப்பொழுது யார் கேட்டார்கள்..?

This was stupid..

Palayamkottai goes without power for seven-and-a-half hours :bash:


Several parts of Palayamkottai went without power for more than seven-and-a-half hours on Wednesday following a technical snag in the distribution system.

After the regular load-shedding was clamped between 12 noon and 3 p.m., supply was restored in these areas at 3 p.m. which lasted for only 30 minutes.

Following a mysterious technical snag in the power distribution system, the affected areas were left in the lurch.

The personnel manning the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) control room repeatedly told the people that the supply would be restored only after the snag was rectified and never specified the exact time of restoration.

And even the TANGEDCO officials were pacifying the public with the consoling reply right from 6 p.m. that the power supply would be restored within ten minutes.

However, the problem was sorted out only at 8 p.m.

Sources admitted that the poor maintenance and sub-standard spare parts fitted in the distribution system during the past five years was the reason behind the problems recurring.

Dravidian patriarch, one of India's seniermost politician and Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi turned 88 today. With his loving poetess-daughter imprisoned in Tihar Jail in connection with the 2G spectrum scam as suspense continued over the fate of her bail plea, the Dravidian Stalwart began the day on a low key note.

Family members, including his wife Dayalu Ammal and son and Deputy Chief Minister M K Stalin and senior party leaders turned up at his Gopalapuram Residence to greet him, but there was no cake cutting and celebration. Senior Party Colleagues, including Mr K Anbazhagan, Arcot N Veerasamy, Duraimurugan, K Ponmudi and E V Velu were among others who called on Mr Karunanidhi at his Gopalapuram Residence and offered their greetings.

After spending some time with them, the Octogenarian, as usual, visited the memorials of his mentors, Late Chief Minister C N Annadurai and Rationalist Leader Periyar E V Ramasamy and paid his respects by placing wreaths. The DMK leader, who was to leave for Delhi this morning to meet Kanimozhi in the prison, canelled the trip.

Instead, he drvove down to GRT resort, a holiday inn off the East coast road to spend a quiet day. He was accompanied by Duraimurugan, Ponmudi among others.

Mr Karunanidhi, in a messge last evening said he was in no mood to celebrate his birthday and appealed to partymen not to visit his Residence or Party headquarters, Anna Arivalayam to greet him. He was sorry he could not meet them, he said and asked them to pardon him.

Briefely talking to the electronic media after laying the wreath at Anna Samadhi, Mr Karunanidhi, in a subtle manner warned party cadres against having undesirable friendship, which would land them in trouble. In an obvious reference to the trouble faced by the party over corruption charges involving former Telecom Minister A Raja, Union Textiles Minister Dayanidhi Maran and his daughter, the veteran leader said "undesirable friendship will always lead to disaster".

The party cadres, instead should strive for social reforms and the development of the party, he advised.

Mr Karunanidhi was against any kind of celebration, but his senior colleague and DMK General Secretary K Anbazhagan who gave a clarion call last week, exhorting partymen to celebrate the leader's birthday in every nook and corner of the state.

At a function in the city last evening, Lyricist Vairamuthu, Tamil Scholar Subaveerapandian and Actor Kushboo spoke about various facets of Mr Karunanidhi. Elsewhere in the State, DMK volunteers organised blood donation camps, mass feeding to the poor and distributed welfare assistance.

At midnight last night, partymen in Tirunelveli burst crackers and distributed sweets to the people. Mr Karunanidhi, who took to public life at a tender age of 14, has been in politics for about seven decades and had been the Chief Minister of the state for five terms.

He holds an impeccable record of not losing a single Assembly Election since the DMK entered the electoral politics in 1957. His 12th win to the Assembly was from Tiruvarur, his native town.

Madurai should get one :evil: :cry: :bash: :rant:

If they conduct feasibility study now, they will start construction after 4yrs like metro. And it will go to DMK hands again, then again metro II phase will be constructed. :lol:

On serious note, they should have gone with feasibility completed phase 2, two corridors and also mono rail like Mumbai. This would be a win-win situation.. After all we need both mono and metro.

Anyway thatha delayed the Mass rapid system i.e Monorail since it was ADMK brain child and now aatha's turn to dump it.

Overall no tasty speech, much development plans.

Disappointing speech.:nuts:

Yes expected bit more attractive plans as this is their first chance to make a mark... as we would expect the best from the first time film director :)

Anyway the other way to look is that with this they have now changed / stopped all schemes from previous government... so going forward we may expect more new schemes from JJ.

y she didnt change sem mozhi tamil to tamil mozhi... itha mattum tan mathala..

Dunno what will happen to those semmozhi poonga in 5 districts of TN.. Mostly scrapped I think!

The Jayalalithaa government in Tamil Nadu on Friday announced its decision to nationalise private cable TV operations and revive the state-run Arasu Cable TV Corporation.

In his customary address spelling out AIADMK government’s policies, Governor S.S. Barnala said there has been an “overwhelming demand” from the public for revival of Arasu Cable TV Corporation and government would do so “in public interest.”

Private cable TV operations will be nationalised without affecting local cable operators, Mr. Barnala said.

They have not stopped all the schemes.

SH women group, river linking projects were pet project/schemes of DMK, looks they are set to continue that.

Kalaignar insurance scheme was just expected name change! but stopping the scheme will be a shock one for public. I guess none of the private hospital permits this insurance scheme nowadays. Let us see what the new gvt going to do. IMHO 10 more super specialty hospital across the state on par with private hospital will be best than issurance.

I do agree there is little change, examples are first gvt function itself was so simple, next weekly once press meet and few more.

But banner across the state kills me. :bash: This is one of the major mistake ADMK is repeating from DMK...

Any news on Tamil new year shifting back ...?

Here is the link

IMHO 10 more super specialty hospital across the state on par with private hospital will be best than issurance.


Or Government doctors not allowed to run private medical clinic will be sufficient... existing government hospitals will serve the purpose.

Same with Government teachers - shouldn't be allowed to run tuition centers...

All we need is good governance... and if each and every government staff are true to their duty then which ever party is in rule can deliver a good government...

I know I'm day dreaming .....:lol:

சட்டசபை எதிர்க்கட்சித் தலைவரும், தேமுதிக தலைவருமான விஜயகாந்த் கூறுகையில், ஆளுநர் உரையில் உள்ள அறிவிப்புகள் தமிழக வளர்ச்சிக்கு வழிகோலும்.


Not sure what he is referring to but the good thing is there wont be any big fight in the Assembly... Opposition Leader will not oppose anything...!

Few more highlights:

1. Vision 2025

Therefore, the State will prepare a ‘Vision 2025
Document for Tamil Nadu’ to identify and
remove the bottlenecks in development,
prioritise critical infrastructure projects and
work assiduously to place the State of Tamil
Nadu at the forefront of development once
again.

2. PPP model for infra projects.

Both are welcomable one.:cheers:

^^ What will happen to the Kalyana Mahals in CBE, MDU, Trichy, Tirunelveli??

^^ What will happen to the Kalyana Mahals in CBE, MDU, Trichy, Tirunelveli??

Thers is one big Kalyana Mahal (Annan owned) near Madurai Mattuthavani as well....

^^ What will happen to the Kalyana Mahals in CBE, MDU, Trichy, Tirunelveli??

Looks like they will not drop it.

Tamil Nadu will be promoted as a hub
of IT and ITES industry. IT parks in second tier
cities will be promoted aggressively for doubling the
growth of the IT industry. BPOs in the rural areas
will be strengthened for promoting the decentralised
growth of the IT industry.

Small ray of hope still there! It is in hands how TN gvt handles/convince/market tier II cities to IT companies. Atleast CTS and TCS should spread its wing to tier II cities as their combine head count will touch 1,00,000 shortly at Chennai alone. (correct me if i am wrong)

Or Government doctors not allowed to run private medical clinic will be sufficient... existing government hospitals will serve the purpose.

Same with Government teachers - shouldn't be allowed to run tuition centers...

All we need is good governance... and if each and every government staff are true to their duty then which ever party is in rule can deliver a good government...

I know I'm day dreaming .....:lol:

A professor who is aged more than 50 (6 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 13 years of college life) is paid less than 45,000 a month in a medical college hospital. During an Out Patient Day he clears around 100 patients, takes rounds in the wards, teaches undergraduate students and post graduate students separately along with other management duties. The same person is paid 1.5 lakh a month in a central institute for a lesser amount of work. How much does a software engineer earn at the age of 50? The doctor also has a family and so obviously he has to do private practice. It is legal to do private practice in TN. If the salary is increased in SG institutes and is given on par with CG (UP, Punjab does) then the things said in the post can be done. The amount of work in a GH is atleast 10 times more than the work in a private hospital. (I am not claiming that the doctors are not corrupt).

New Schemes are welcome one while going back on many of the schemes / Projects do not pronounce good future for tamil nadu. all the Projects/schemes can be nuanced to give the maximum outputs .

I dont why is that we are getting only such leaders who takes more pride in canceling other govt's scheme / projects rather that improvising the same.

I feel very much sorry about the governor who has to take U-turn in his speech.

If this is Called Democracy, what good it is going to make for our future. We will spend 5 yrs for Making something and Next 5 yrs we will be spending in removing the same. So We are clearly following Zero Sum Progress.

2ஜி ஊழலில் தொடர்பில்லை: சன் டிவி

Dinamani, 3rd June 2011

மும்பை, ஜூன்.3: 2ஜி ஊழலில் தங்களுக்கு தொடர்பில்லை என சன் டிவி மறுப்பு தெரிவித்துள்ளது.

தங்களது நிறுவனம் மற்றும் உரிமையாளர்களின் புகழை சீர்குலைக்கும் நோக்கத்திலேயே இதுபோன்ற குற்றச்சாட்டுகள் கூறப்படுவதாக அந்த டிவி தெரிவித்துள்ளது.

சன் டிவி நெட்வொர்க் மற்றும் கலாநிதி மாறன் ஆகியோருக்கும் தற்போது நடைபெற்றுவரும் சம்பவங்களுக்கும் எந்தவிதத் தொடர்பும் இல்லை என்பதைத் தெரிவித்துக்கொள்ள விரும்புவதாக மும்பை பங்குச்சந்தையில் சன் டிவி அளித்துள்ள ஒரு ஆவணத்தில் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டுள்ளது.

தயாநிதி மாறன் குடும்பத்துக்கு சொந்தமான சன் டிவி நெட்வொர்க்கும் 2ஜி ஊழலில் பலனடைந்துள்ளதாக வெளியான தகவலையடுத்து சன் நெட்வொர்க்கின் பங்கு விலைகள் 27.9 சதவீத அளவுக்கு வீழ்ச்சி அடைந்தன.
தயாநிதி மாறனுக்கு எதிராக சிபிஐயும் முதற்கட்ட விசாரணையைத் தொடங்கியுள்ளது.

இதனிடையே 2004-07 காலகட்டத்தில் தொலைத்தொடர்பு அமைச்சராக இருந்தபோது தொலைத்தொடர்பு உரிமம் வழங்கப்பட்டதில் எந்த நிறுவனத்துக்கும் ஆதரவாக தான் செயல்படவில்லை என மாறன் கூறியுள்ளார்.

நிறுவனத்தின் புகழை சீர்குலைக்க வேண்டும் என்ற உள்நோக்கத்தோடு இதுபோன்ற குற்றச்சாட்டுகள் கூறப்படுவதாக சன் நெட்வொர்க் தெரிவித்துள்ளது.

பிஎஸ்என்எல்லின் 323 தொலைபேசி இணைப்புகளை தயாநிதி மாறன் தனது இல்லத்தில் பயன்படுத்தினார் என்று கூறப்படும் குற்றச்சாட்டையும் உறுதியாக மறுக்கிறோம் என சன் நெட்வொர்க்கின் அறிக்கையில் தெரிவிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.

சன் நெட்வொர்க்கிலோ, சன் டைரக்ட் டிவியிலோ தயாநிதி மாறனுக்கு சொந்தமாக எந்தப் பங்குகளும் இல்லை. சன் டைரக்ட் நிறுவன பங்குகளை சன் டிவி வைத்திருக்கவில்லை. மேலும் சன் டைரக்டில் 20 சதவீத பங்குகளை வைத்திருக்கும் மேக்ஸிஸ் நிறுவனத்துடனும் எந்தவிதத் தொடர்பும் சன்டிவிக்கு இல்லை என சன் நெட்வொர்க் தெரிவித்துள்ளது.

இத்தகைய குற்றச்சாட்டுகளால் வர்த்தகம் எந்த விதத்திலும் பாதிக்கப்படாது என்று அந்த நிறுவனம் நம்பிக்கை தெரிவித்துள்ளது.

சன் குழுமம் இந்தியாவில் மிகப்பெரிய ஊடக குழுமமாகும். 20 தொலைக்காட்சி சேனல்கள், 45 வானொலி நிலையங்கள், 4 சஞ்சிகைகள், 2 தினசரிகள், ஒரு டிடிஎச் சேவை நிறுவனம் ஆகியவை சன் குழுமத்தில் உள்ளன.

சன் டிவியில் மாறன் குடும்பத்தினர் மார்ச் 2011 நிலவரப்படி 77 சதவீதப் பங்குகளை வைத்துள்ளனர்.
இந்தக் குழுமம் சன் பிக்சர்ஸ் என்ற தயாரிப்பு நிறுவனத்தின்கீழ் திரைப்படங்களை தயாரித்து விநியோகிக்கிறது. மேலும் தமிழகம் முழுவதும் சன் கேபிள் விஷன் என்ற பெயரில் கேபிள் விநியோக நிறுவனத்தையும் நடத்துகிறது.

மேலும் ஸ்பைஸ்ஜெட் விமானநிறுவனமும் இந்த குழுமத்துக்கு சொந்தமானதுதான் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

Yesterday, Bears beat down Sun TV shares by a massive 31 percent...

Maduraiyai meetta Sundarapanidan poyi ....ippo maduraiyai meetta Puratchi Thalaivi!!

முதல்வர் அறிவித்த "மதுரை மீட்பு' திட்டம் தொடக்கம்!
Dinamani, 03 Jun 2011 01:43:22 PM IST


மதுரை, ஜூன் 2: தமிழக சட்டப்பேரவைத் தேர்தலுக்கு முன்னதாக, அதிமுக பொதுச் செயலரான முதல்வர் ஜெயலலிதா அறிவித்த "மதுரை மீட்பு' திட்டம் இப்போது தொடங்கப்பட்டுள்ளதாகத் தெரிகிறது.

மாநிலத்தில் உள்ள 30 மாவட்ட ஆட்சியர்களும், பெரும்பாலான காவல்துறை உயர் அதிகாரிகளும் பணியிட மாறுதல் செய்யப்பட்டுள்ள நிலையில், நேர்மைக்கும் அதிரடி நடவடிக்கைகளுக்கும் பெயர்பெற்ற மதுரை மாநகர காவல்துறை ஆணையர், மாவட்ட ஆட்சியர், புறநகர் மாவட்ட காவல்துறை கண்காணிப்பாளர் ஆகிய மூவரும் மாற்றப்படாதது "மதுரை மீட்பு' திட்டத்தின் முதல் நடவடிக்கை என அதிகாரிகள் வட்டாரங்களில் கூறப்படுகிறது.

திமுக தலைவரும், தமிழக முன்னாள் முதல்வருமான கருணாநிதியின் மகனான மத்திய அமைச்சர் மு.க. அழகிரியின் தலைமையிடம் மதுரை. இங்கு அமைச்சர் அழகிரியின் நெருங்கிய ஆதரவாளர்கள் சுமார் 15 பேர் பல்வேறு சட்டவிரோத நடவடிக்கைகளில் ஈடுபட்டு வந்ததாக ஏராளமான புகார்கள் கூறப்பட்டுவந்தன. மதுரையில் அழகிரியின் அனுமதி இல்லாமல் எதுவும் நடைபெறாது என்பதே நிலை என எதிர்க்கட்சிகளைச் சேர்ந்தவர்கள் தொடர்ந்து கூறி வந்தனர். அரசு அதிகாரிகளும் சுயமாகச் செயல்பட முடியாத நிலை இருந்தது.

சட்டப்பேரவைத் தேர்தல் முன்னோட்டமாக மதுரைக்கு கடந்த அக்டோபரில் வந்த ஜெயலலிதா, இங்கு நடைபெற்ற ஆர்ப்பாட்டத்தில் பேசும்போது, அழகிரி மற்றும் அவரது ஆதரவாளர்களின் பெயர்களைப் பட்டியலிட்டு, அவர்கள் சட்டவிரோதச் செயல்களில் ஈடுபட்டு வருவதாகவும், அதிமுக ஆட்சிக்கு வந்தால் அழகிரியிடமிருந்து மதுரை மீட்கப்படும் என்றும் அறிவித்தார். அது பொதுமக்களிடையே மிகுந்த வரவேற்பைப் பெற்றது.

தேர்தலில் அதிமுக அமோக வெற்றிபெற்று ஆட்சி அமைத்துள்ள சூழ்நிலையில், "மதுரை மீட்பு' திட்டம் இப்போது தொடங்கப்பட்டுள்ளதாகத் தெரிகிறது.

ஆட்சி மாற்றம் ஏற்பட்ட பின்பு முதலாவதாக, காவல் துறை உயர் அதிகாரிகள் பணியிட மாற்றம் செய்யப்பட்டனர். அடுத்து இப்போது மாவட்ட ஆட்சியர்கள் பணியிட மாற்றம் செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளனர். இதில், மதுரை மாநகர காவல் துறை ஆணையரான கண்ணப்பன், மாவட்ட ஆட்சியர் உ. சகாயம், புறநகர் மாவட்ட காவல்துறை கண்காணிப்பாளர் அஸ்ரா கர்க் ஆகியோர் பணியிட மாற்றம் செய்யப்படவில்லை.

அஸ்ரா கர்க், முதலில் பணியிட மாற்றம் செய்யப்பட்டாலும், அடுத்த நாளே அந்த உத்தரவு ரத்து செய்யப்பட்டது.

மாநகர காவல் துறை ஆணையரான கண்ணப்பன், நேர்மைக்கும், கடமைக்கும் பெயர் பெற்றவர். அரசியல் அழுத்தங்களுக்கு அடிபணியாதவர். சி.பி.ஐ.யில் எஸ்.பி.யாகப் பணியாற்றியவர். மாவட்ட ஆட்சியர் சகாயம், நாமக்கல் மாவட்ட ஆட்சியராக இருந்தபோது, தனது சொத்துக் கணக்கை பகிரங்கமாக அறிவித்து, நாட்டு மக்களின் கவனத்தை ஈர்த்தவர். நேர்மையானவர் எனப் பெயரெடுத்தவர். அதிரடி நடவடிக்கையாளர். மாவட்ட காவல்துறை கண்காணிப்பாளரான அஸ்ரா கர்க், சாதி மோதல்களுக்கும், அரசியல் அதிகார மையங்களின் போட்டிக்கும் பெயர் பெற்ற திருநெல்வேலியில் எவ்வித புகார்களுக்கும் இடமளிக்காமல், நேர்மையாகச் செயல்பட்டவர்.

சட்டப்பேரவைத் தேர்தலின்போது "திருமங்கலம் பார்முலா' (வாக்குக்குப் பணம்) அமோகமாக அமல்படுத்தப்படலாம் என்றும், அதன் ஆரம்பம் மதுரையாக இருக்கலாம் என்றும் கருதிய தேர்தல் ஆணையம் மதுரை மீது இரண்டு கண்களையும் வைத்து கண்காணித்தது. அதற்காக இங்கு அப்போது இருந்த மாவட்ட ஆட்சியர், மாநகர காவல் துறை ஆணையர், எஸ்.பி. ஆகியோரை மாற்றிவிட்டு, அந்த மூன்று இடங்களுக்கும் முறையே சகாயம், கண்ணப்பன், அஸ்ரா கர்க் ஆகிய 3 பேரும் நியமிக்கப்பட்டனர். இவர்கள் மூவரும் அழகிரி மற்றும் அவரது ஆதரவாளர்கள் கொடுத்த அழுத்தங்களுக்கு அசைந்து கொடுக்காமல் பணியாற்றினர். தேர்தல் அமைதியாகவே நடந்து முடிந்தது.

தேர்தல் முடிந்து அதிமுக ஆட்சிப் பொறுப்பேற்ற உடன் இந்த மூன்று அதிகாரிகளுமே வழக்கம்போல் தங்களின் அடுத்த பணியிட மாறுதலுக்கு தயாராகவே இருந்தனர். தங்களின் விருப்பங்களையும் உயர் அதிகாரிகளிடம் தெரிவித்தனர். ஆனால், அவர்களைப் பணியிட மாறுதல் செய்யும் மனநிலையில அரசு இல்லை என்பது இப்போது தெளிவாகிவிட்டது. ஆதலால், இப்போது மாவட்ட ஆட்சியரும், மாவட்ட எஸ்.பி.யும் தங்களின் பணிகளைத் தொடங்கி விட்டனர். மாநகர காவல் துறை ஆணையர் மட்டும் ஹைதராபாத்தில் பயிற்சியில் இருக்கிறார். ஜூலை 2-வது வாரத்தில் பணிக்குத் திரும்புவார் என எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது.

முதல்வர் ஜெயலிலதா அறிவித்திருந்த "மதுரை மீட்பு' திட்டத்தைச் செயல்படுத்த இந்த அதிகாரிகளே சரியான நபர்கள் என அடையாளம் காணப்பட்டுள்ளதாகத் தெரிகிறது. அமைச்சர் அழகிரி மற்றும் அவரது ஆதரவாளர்கள் மீது நடவடிக்கை எடுக்கும்போது அது "அரசியல் பழிவாங்கும் நடவடிக்கை' என்ற அவப்பெயர் வரக் கூடாது என்பதிலும் அதிமுக அரசு கவனமாக இருப்பதாகக் கூறப்படுகிறது.

ஆட்சி மாற்றத்துக்குப் பின்பு நியமிக்கப்பட்ட அதிகாரிகளைக் கொண்டு எதிர்க்கட்சியினர் மீது நடவடிக்கை எடுத்தால், அரசுக்கு விசுவாசத்தைக் காட்டுவதற்காக அதிகாரிகள் பாரபட்சத்துடன் செயல்படுவதாக ஏதேனும் ஒருதரப்பில் இருந்து ஆட்சி மீதும், அதிகாரிகள் மீதும் குறை கூறப்படலாம். ஆனால், இப்போதுள்ள இந்த மூன்று அதிகாரிகளும் எவ்வித அரசியல் சார்பு இல்லாமலும், அவர்களது நேர்மை மற்றும் பணித்திறனை மட்டுமே கருத்தில் கொண்டு தேர்தல் ஆணையத்தால் பணி நியமனம் பெற்றவர்கள் ஆவர்.

அவர்கள் மூலம் நடவடிக்கை எடுப்பது புகார்களுக்கு இடமளிக்காது என அரசு தரப்பில் கருதப்படுவதாகக் கூறப்படுகிறது.

மதுரை மற்றும் சுற்று வட்டாரப் பகுதிகளில் தி.மு.க.வினர் மீது ஏராளமான புகார்கள் உள்ளன. நில அபகரிப்பு, ஆள் கடத்தல், கட்டப் பஞ்சாயத்து, கொலை முயற்சி, கனிம வளங்களைக் கொள்ளையடித்தல் என புகார்களைச் சொல்லிக் கொண்டே போகலாம். இப்போது காவல் ஆணையர், ஆட்சியர், எஸ்.பி. ஆகியோருக்கு பணியிட மாறுதல் இல்லை என ஆகிவிட்டதால், அவர்கள் இனிமேல் "பணிகளை'த் தொடங்கி விடுவார்கள் என்பது அதிகாரிகள் வட்டாரத்தின் கருத்து.

Arul,

Anga adayalam

Biometric identity based schemes.

This is needed esp in housing scheme. infact all member of family need to be asked to give details. else like in ap, where people apllied under different persons of family and got 3,4 houses under indiramma schem, and will happily lazily sit at home.

I think pranab babu set up a 300 cr price fund nothing worked. This fund is eyewash fund
to see tomorrow like thatha says na puli kuduthen, paruppu kuduthen allam packet pottu koduthen, aatha can say fund set up pannen


first need is futures trade in essential cereals, pulses,cooking oil be banned for sometime. there is maximum market manipulation in that.

But those are central domain.

If they conduct feasibility study now, they will start construction after 4yrs like metro. And it will go to DMK hands again, then again metro II phase will be constructed. :lol:

On serious note, they should have gone with feasibility completed phase 2, two corridors and also mono rail like Mumbai. This would be a win-win situation.. After all we need both mono and metro.

Please dont hold your breath for mono rail, based upon her past experience she announces projects, goes back to vendetta and leaves it to the successive Govt to pick it for implementation like the CBE Tidel park.

I would rather prefer she not announce any projects.

In some thread I wrote that we need mono rail for tiruchy, madurai and coimbatore some time back. People commented it will not happen . Now we have the feasibility study. Next they will want to open it before the next election . So we can see mono rail in all these places. If it happens we are the only state to have mono or metro rail in all Major Cities. If they connect these cities with High Speed trains at a regular interval . We will progress the fastest

Speech is disappointing for me personally as I was hoping for a roadmap on what government is doing on the power front. That's priority #1 to retain whatever industries (read leftovers) outside Chennai and to arrest the migration.

Maran's lies to the nation exposed .....


Maran may have misled us on Maxis deal with Sun TV

Link (http://www.firstpost.com/politics/dayanidhi-maran-was-lying-on-maxis-deal-with-sun-tv-19777.html) to the firstpost report

Union Textiles Minister Dayanidhi Maran, now in the eye of a storm over alleged kickbacks in yet another telecom licence scandal, appears to be lying.

When confronted with a Tehelka story nailing him for allegedly favouring Maxis Group with telecom licences and spectrum in lieu of a friendly investment in his brother Kalanithi’s direct-to-home (DTH) company Sun Direct, Maran said it was totally false. Firstpost published excerpts from the report on 1 June.

In a statement on Wednesday, Maran said: “No telecom company, directly or indirectly, had ever invested in any of the companies owned by my brother during my tenure as Telecom Minister. I was not even a minister when M/s Astro invested in Sun Direct in December 2007 as I had resigned on May 13, 2007.’’

Astro All Asia Networks is a Maxis Group company owned by Malaysian entrepreneur T Ananda Krishnan, and its wholly-owned subsidiary South Asia Entertainment Holdings Ltd invested 20% in Sun Direct. Maxis owns 74% of mobile services operator Aircel.

The sum-total of Tehelka’s allegation, for which Maran has sued the magazine for Rs 15 crore, is that Maran sat on Aircel’s applications for telecom licences and spectrum in more circles till after its owner C Sivasankaran (“Siva”) sold it to Maxis. The unstated allegation is that Dayanidhi did not want Siva to get licences, and wanted to favour Maxis, for reasons best known to him. Maran allocated 14 circles and related spectrum to Aircel after Maxis took over.

Documents available with Firstpost reveal that Astro had agreed to invest $ 166 million (approximately Rs 750 crore) in Sun Direct TV, more than a month before Dayanidhi Maran resigned as Union Minister of Communications and IT. In its quarterly report on consolidated results for the second quarter ended on 31 July 2007, Astro announces: “On 5 April 2007, Astro agreed to participate (in a ) joint venture for the provision of direct-to-home digital satellite broadcast (“DTH’’) pay-television services in India, with Kalanithi Maran (Dayanidhi Maran’s brother) and Kavery Kalanithi, collectively referred to as the Maran Group.’’

In a 30-page quarterly report of the company released in Malaysia, Page 18 reads: “Under the proposed joint venture, South Asia Entertainment Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group (Astro), agreed to invest up to $166 million by subscribing for new equity shares representing 20% of the enlarged capital of Sun Direct TV Private Limited (“Sun Direct TV’’), a company incorporated in India with a licence to provide DTH pay-television services in India. The Maran Group will hold the remaining 80% interest in Sun Direct TV.’’ See report, Page 18

Not only this. The Maran family was allotted additional equity shares at the rate of Rs 10 a share in Sun Direct TV to maintain their total stakeholding. Maxis paid Rs 80 per share, a premium of Rs 70, for its 20% equity shares in Sun Direct TV. “This is quid pro quo in exchange of spectrum allocated to Aircel,” an informed source close to the investigation alleges.

(That, however, remains to be proven. Firstpost emailed the Minister a list of questions on this subject on Thursday at his official email address. No reply had been received at the time of writing. Firstpost will carry a full version of whatever he has to say in this matter.)

In its preliminary probe, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has also tracked the proposed funding of $ 166 million for Sun Direct. Initial findings are that a part of the $ 166 million invested in Sun Direct TV had probably started coming in from 31 March 2007. Maran had resigned on 13 May 2007. So whether Maran was actually minister or not at the time of the money coming in is a technicality. He was certainly minister when the deal was done – as indicated in the Astro report above.

CBI has reportedly tracked two unsecured loans taken by Kalanidhi Maran’s Sun Direct TV. Gemini Industries and Imaging Ltd, known for film production, graphics and special effects in film-making, had given Rs 61 crore to Sun Direct TV as unsecured loans on 31 March 2007. Kalanidhi’s company also received Rs 117 crore as unsecured loan from a Mauritius-based company DE Shaw Composite Investments. CBI is verifying the genuineness of these loan investments. The agency has also begun investigating the investments of the Maran family’s recent foray into aviation, Spicejet. Kalanithi owns over 38% directly or indirectly in SpiceJet.

(Both Sun TV and SpiceJet shares crashed on Thursday when the stuff hit the fan. On Friday, around 12 noon, however, both shares were up by 6% and 5%, partly as a correction from the previous day’s sharp fall of over 31% and 25% at one stage.)

Dayanidhi Maran also says in his press statement that “in so far as the issue of grant of UASL (Unified Access Service Licence) to Dishnet Wireless Limited (Aircel) is concerned, as far as I could recall, even before I joined as Minister of Communications and IT on May 27, 2004, there were serious queries relating to the funding potential of the company, its net worth and debt-equity ratio raised by the Department of Telecommunications and the application was under examination even before I became Minister.’’

The Ministry of Communications records do not seem to accord with this statement. Maran’s predecessor Arun Shourie received eight requests for UAS licences from Dishnet Wireless on 5 March 2004 and he cleared all of them within a month without raising any major issue. The Dishnet owner, Sivasankaran, had sought licences in eight telecom circles – Assam, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, North East, Orissa, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh.

Shourie cleared the deck for licences in all the eight telecom circles on 6 April 2004. In seven cases (except Madhya Pradesh), he had even issued Letters of Interest (LOI). Since the LOI was not issued to Dishnet Wireless Ltd for the MP telecom circle, Maran sat over Shourie’s decision and issued several show-cause notices to the company.

Maran cleared the Madhya Pradesh licence for Dishnet (renamed Aircel) on 29 November 2006, when Ananda Krishnan of the Maxis Group was already the majority owner of Aircel.
See list of applicants and dates

During Maran’s tenure, Sivasankaran applied for 13 UAS licences. Two of them were applied for on 21 April 2004 for UP East and UP West, before Maran was minister. Another four of them were applied for on 1 March 2005 for Haryana, Kerala, Kolkata and Punjab telecom circles. Sivasankaran got no telecom licences, only show cause notices, during Maran’s tenure.

Siva changed the company’s name from Dishnet to Aircel and then again applied for four spectrum licences on 12 January 2006 (Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Mumbai telecom circles) and again on 3 March 2006 (for Andhra Pradesh, Delhi and Gujarat). This is when he made a sudden exit and sold off Aircel to the Maxis Group.

On 16 May 2006, Dayanidhi Maran’s ministry ignored all the show-cause notices served on Dishnet or Aircel in the past and initiated a process to allot the spectrum to Aircel, now owned by Ananda Krishnan. With nine days (between 20 and 29 November 2006) Aircel became the eighth largest telecom company in the country, as Maran cleared all the pending requests for UAS licences to Aircel.

CBI is in touch with Aircel’s old owner Sivasankaran, who sold off Aircel to the Maxis Group in 2006. He appeared before the CBI on 18 May, and offered to make himself available for another round of questioning. According to The Economic Times, this could happen next week.

Few good stuffs if it ever makes out of drawing board discussions.

19. Industrial development is affected badly in the State due to power shortage, gap in physical infrastructure and shortage of skilled manpower leading to the flight of capital to other competing States. It will be the endeavour of this Government to attract top industrial houses for investment in key sectors like automobile and auto parts, IT, ITES, textiles, leather, engineering goods, etc., and make the State a hub of the manufacturing sector. As industrial development is more concentrated in Chennai and its surrounding districts, efforts will be made to promote industries in a decentralised way through appropriate incentives. This Government will lay special emphasis on attracting investments in the ship building industry to promote economic development along the east coast. Madurai – Aruppukottai –Thoothukudi corridor will be promoted as a self-sufficient growth corridor to trigger industrial growth in the Southern region. This Government will lay special emphasis on the newly emerging sectors like bio-technology, nano-technology and pharmaceuticals. [This is Dr.Kalam's vision. He has been pitching for nano technology for atleast 5 years now]

28. Tamil Nadu with its long coastline has tremendous potential to develop maritime trade. This Government appreciates the fact that such port development will promote commercial activities in the hinterland. The minor ports along the east-coast, including Cuddalore, Nagapattinam and Colachel will be developed through public-private partnership. This will improve the
cargo handling capacity of the State. [ Hope they introduce this public-private partnership thinking in Railways too ]

37. Tamil Nadu has a disciplined work force with a vast pool of manpower. But, a large number of educated youth lack employable skills. This Government will enter into partnership with industry and arrange large scale skill training programmes to augment skilled manpower and bridge the present demand supply gap. [Hmm interesting, but missing details on how they are planning to achieve it. 95% of the college grads lack it and I hope they have more-than eyewash plans in place before making this statement]

Few good stuffs if it ever makes out of drawing board discussions.

Looks like you know the aatha well. :)

^^ Doesn't matter if it's aatha or thatha. I am always cynical when it comes to execution part :)

Last few pages of this thread, there were healthy(!) discussions on Aatha VS Thatha!
We all know where is TN now.. poor electricity.. poor agricultural growth, traffic...
450 cr assembly hall is escalated to 1250 cr unfinished building...metro construction started, talks of mono rail...

Lets count where are we in the next 3 yrs..

When is TN Budget from the new Govt?

Please dont hold your breath for mono rail, based upon her past experience she announces projects, goes back to vendetta and leaves it to the successive Govt to pick it for implementation like the CBE Tidel park.

I would rather prefer she not announce any projects.

lol...

you keep this single point and pass it everyday here, cbe and chennai threads. If it is your angle that aatha dumped CBE growth by announcing IT park, then i have a thought no it is...

1998 CBE bomb blast during thatha rule started to dump CBE's growth
1998 CBE bomb blast had effect on IT park construction during 2001
1998 CBE bomb blast during thatha rule is the reason for real estate price rise in CBE (like you say 2001 tidel park announcement at CBE rised the real estate price in Madurai, Trichy and Salem:lol: )

totally it is 1998 bomb blast during thatha rule dumped the CBE's growth which should have overtaken Pune then.

Again for his share again in 2006-2011 thatha dumped textile cluster of Tiruppur by not solving the pollution and power issue. Just they want all textile cluster to close by its own because of above two problems and sell lands to their kurunilla mannars and former first family.

But CBE/Tiruppur people thrown out this DMK again! And still singing song wow thatha did that, this, stalin did this that... maran did this that.:lol:

And i never seen you opening mouth on saint clean stalin and maran. The magnitude of corruption of individuals in DMK has overtaken the total corruption of 1996 ADMK Jaya rule. And still some people are singing song that pant shirt wearing white skinned english speaking men....... mudiyala....:lol:

Also numerous paper project of thatha,stalin like financial city which has shooted the price rise in Chennai as per your theory, kalyana mandapams in the name of IT parks, aero park should have shooted up price in Perambalur as per your theory... Atleast be neutral instead of being a adamant DMK supporter alone.

Just sit and watch the mono rail implementation in Chennai :) Coimbatore and Madurai likely to get atleast one arterial line under monorail for implementation.

Back to 2G, Maran's issued notices (like bit-notice) to every magazines and media that reported maxis / BSNL deals. One reasoning with which he defended himself is Sivasankaran hasn't complained against them yet. But looks like Sivasankaran did speak to CBI about it as per Savukku (http://www.savukku.net/home1/910-2011-06-03-10-25-31.html). Now Maran's are in real trouble...

Smooth transition likely to new insurance scheme

One of the DMK government's flagship welfare schemes, the Chief Minister's Insurance Scheme (Kalaignar Kapiitu Thittam) will give way to a new public health insurance scheme, the government announced on Friday.

While details of the new scheme are yet to be worked out, official sources say it will be launched soon. According to the Governor's address in the Assembly, “a new Public Health Insurance Scheme will be launched shortly to achieve the objective of universal health care by terminating the existing health insurance scheme, as it is not comprehensive and effective in fulfilling public aspirations.”

The old health insurance scheme for life-saving surgeries was launched in 2009 at a function in Chennai by Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad. It promised to cover families, whose annual income was less than Rs.72,000 for a sum of Rs.1lakh for four years. The government had set aside Rs.517.3 crore for paying premiums, and issuing cards in the first year. It also roped in a number of private hospitals to carry out life-saving surgeries, and had the insurance companies refund the hospital for charges incurred.

Health Department officials said they were working out a smooth transition, in order that card holders were not put to any hardships in the period between end of one scheme and the commencement of the other.

MEDICAL TOURISM

Also of interest to public health experts was the announcement that the government would pay special attention to the improvement of infrastructure in primary health centres and government hospitals. All urban Public Health Centres will be upgraded to round-the-clock units to benefit the urban poor. :cheers:

Medical tourism will be promoted in a big way by setting up medi-cities supported with research facilities under the public - private partnership agreements.:cheers::cheers::cheers:

The government will also formulate a clear policy and frame guidelines to attract private investments in the health sector, the Governor's address stressed.

Additionally, the government introduced the concept of Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI) in the address, stating that it will endeavour to improve the PQLI in rural areas by providing safe drinking water, sanitation, round-the-clock health facilities, quality education and all-weather roads. :cheers:

Great promises!! Hope they don't remain as mere promises!

Integrated textile parks to generate exports worth Rs. 3,700 cr.
The eight integrated textile parks (ITPs) proposed in Tamil Nadu with an investment of Rs. 2,100 crore will generate exports worth Rs. 3,700 crore, Union Minister for Textiles, Dayanidhi Maran, said on Saturday.

At the inauguration of the Madurai integrated textile park at Thathampatti near here, Mr. Maran said 20 per cent of 40 integrated textile parks proposed by the Centre were planned in Tamil Nadu.

The Minister said they would generate employment opportunities for 80,000 people.

The Madurai ITP was exporting Rs.75-crore worth textiles involving an investment of Rs.100 crore with the initial 15 units functioning here.

The park was expected to get an additional Rs.300 crore investment and the exports would go up to Rs.500 crore. It would give employment to 7,000 persons, he added.

Mr. Maran said more development works would come to the State because of the better understanding between the State government and the Centre. The Centre proposed two mega handloom clusters in the country.

The foundation stone for the Virudhunagar cluster had been laid and work had started. It was possible because the State government was keen on implementing the Centre-assisted programmes.

Whereas in West Bengal, even land acquisition for a cluster had not been done due to the friction between the Centre and State government. The benefits of the schemes reached the people as the Tamil Nadu government implemented them at a faster pace.

Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers M.K. Alagiri, who inaugurated the park, said the DMK worked for the welfare of the people whether it was in power or not. The DMK government had fulfilled all its poll promises. The Secretary, Ministry of Textiles, Rita Menon, said the ITPs would focus on weaving and garments.

President of Madurai ITP M. Britto Minister for Handlooms and Textiles K.K.S.S.R. Ramachandran, Minister for Adi Dravidar Welfare A. Tamilarasi, Periyakulam MP J.M. Aaron, Sholavandan MLA P. Moorthy and Madurai Collector C. Kamaraj spoke.

Karur Textile Park inaugurated
Speculation in general and hoarding by some traders have contributed to the abnormal rise in the price of cotton and yarn, Union Textiles Minister Dayanidhi Maran has said.

Speaking after inaugurating the Karur Textile Park at Thalapatti-Puthambur near here on the Karur-Madurai Highway on Saturday, Mr. Maran pointed out that the textile industry has been rather rattled by the steep rise in the price of cotton and yarn in the past period. Fluctuation in the price of cotton and yarn had been brought about by only speculation in general and hoarding by some avaricious traders and not due to poor arrivals or any other factor affecting cotton, the Union Minister reasoned. Those two factors definitely boosted the price of cotton and yarn, prompting the Textiles Ministry to seek a cap on export of cotton.

The Union Minister claimed that when cotton export was banned, yarn was exported affecting the price and when yarn export was banned the shipping out of cotton had to be factored in contributing to the yarn price destabilisation.

Mr. Maran opined that it would be ideal if the Central and the State governments saw eye-to-eye and acted in coordination to bring several benefits to the public and industrialists. In the past few years Tamil Nadu was getting a fair share of the Central Government funding and schemes.

The huge benefits and schemes that have rained on the State were due to the cordiality between the Centre and the State governments. Industrialists and public must ensure that relationship remained strong.

Mr. Maran said that the Textiles Ministry was planning to establish 20 more textile parks in the country to provide a definitive thrust to the industry and to boost exports besides generating employment.

Handloom Clusters

3 out of 20 in TNhttp://www.indianhandloomscluster-dchl.net/images/Map%20of%2020%20cluster.jpg

ANd possibly many more.. This is just few examples!!

Also this:


Setting up of mega handloom clusters
So far, four mega handloom clusters at Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh), Sivasagar (Assam), Virudhunagar (Tamilnadu) and Murshidabad (West Bengal) have been taken up.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Textiles, Smt. Panabaaka Lakshmi in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha to a question raised by Shri R.C. Singh.

The Minister further stated that these four mega handloom clusters have been taken up as these were announced in the Budget for 2008-09 and 2009-10. Each mega handloom cluster has atleast 25,000 handlooms and will be developed in a time period of 5 years with an upper Central Government share of Rs.70.00 crore.

Two handloom clusters at Chirala and Madhvaram in Andhra Pradesh, each covering about 5000 handlooms have been taken up in 2006-07 for their integrated and holistic development and are under implementation. In addition, 52 handloom clusters, each covering 300-500 handlooms have been taken up in the State of Andhra Pradesh under the Integrated Handlooms Development Scheme during the period 2007-08 to 2010-11(as on date).

Further, 262 Group Approach Projects have been taken up in the State of Andhra Pradesh from 2008-09 to 2010-11 (as on date).

thatha lacks vision in public improvements.. but he has big vision on corruption and he always exceeds his corruption level.
I have seen so many DMK supporters who are short sighted..simillar to "Thalivan evvazhi, thodanum avvazhiye!"
My request to DMK fans in this forum, please dont question everything of the new Govt soon..just wait and watch..you have atleast 3 more years for the next election(Lok sabha).....

@Murlee

thanks.. but these were planned in previous UPA gvt and opened by new textile minister Maran.

Like CMBT planned by MGR, built by thatha and opened by aatha.

Anyway, now maran is a competitor for Rasa, Kanimozhi in online world bashing.:lol:

Compared to the scam corruption and scams, the elections expenses are far less. Instead of having election once every 5 years, if it is for 2 or 2.5 years then we might expect them (political parties) to function better. as they are forced to meet people atleast 2 or 2.5 yrs, they can't face the elections with all the scams and corruption. Also by doing so, a corrupt government can't continue for a longer time.

^^ Ungalukku panam kudukarangangrathanala 2 - 2.5 yrkku election venumu kekkarathu nemba ovaru. :)

May be we can make it once in 4 years and ward / municipal elections every 2 years.

Only because it is for 5 years they are able to give a huge amount for every vote. also now DMK are aware of the fact that people got the money from them and voted against them.

If at all he has to sue anyone he has to go against CBI and not Indian express. The roots of this accusation is from CBI

lol...

you keep this single point and pass it everyday here, cbe and chennai threads. If it is your angle that aatha dumped CBE growth by announcing IT park, then i have a thought no it is...

1998 CBE bomb blast during thatha rule started to dump CBE's growth
1998 CBE bomb blast had effect on IT park construction during 2001
1998 CBE bomb blast during thatha rule is the reason for real estate price rise in CBE (like you say 2001 tidel park announcement at CBE rised the real estate price in Madurai, Trichy and Salem:lol: )

totally it is 1998 bomb blast during thatha rule dumped the CBE's growth which should have overtaken Pune then.

Again for his share again in 2006-2011 thatha dumped textile cluster of Tiruppur by not solving the pollution and power issue. Just they want all textile cluster to close by its own because of above two problems and sell lands to their kurunilla mannars and former first family.

But CBE/Tiruppur people thrown out this DMK again! And still singing song wow thatha did that, this, stalin did this that... maran did this that.:lol:

And i never seen you opening mouth on saint clean stalin and maran. The magnitude of corruption of individuals in DMK has overtaken the total corruption of 1996 ADMK Jaya rule. And still some people are singing song that pant shirt wearing white skinned english speaking men....... mudiyala....:lol:

Also numerous paper project of thatha,stalin like financial city which has shooted the price rise in Chennai as per your theory, kalyana mandapams in the name of IT parks, aero park should have shooted up price in Perambalur as per your theory... Atleast be neutral instead of being a adamant DMK supporter alone.

Just sit and watch the mono rail implementation in Chennai :) Coimbatore and Madurai likely to get atleast one arterial line under monorail for implementation.

I don't understand how 1998 bomb blast could bring the growth of CBE to a stand still. Delhi had been host to umpteen number of bomb blasts from the days of Khalistan and later islamic terrorists, The same goes for Mumbai. There have been blasts in Hyderabad and Pune. I am not sure about Bengaluru.
All of these cities have grown by leaps and bounds.

KT,

i had posted a IE article. Ex FBI chief is the lawyer for sivasankaran and he is the one arranging to meet cbi. he is expected to give statements against maran.

Times now also claimed as per sun tv ipo documents there is a company that is involved in a to z of textile industry and this company has 91% share of daya and 9% his wife.

now one knows why they took textile ministry and all textiles where under threat.

Gurumurthy has ripped apart the two. I was surprised who media never questioned him on this. As per tnie report and cbi documents officer of chennai telephones themselves were accused as it was listed under their name and they had sanctioned, how come self certificates are acceptable?


http://expressbuzz.com/nation/bsnl-rip-off-welcome-mr-dayanidhi-maran/280963.html

The article “Minister steals a telephone exchange, loots BSNL” (TNIE June 1, 2011) was entirely based on CBI’s secret report on Dayanidhi Maran’s home telephone exchange in every respect — except one. And that is, the figure of loss of Rs 440 crores in the article was estimated for the 323 stolen ISDN connections on the basis of the extent of use of phone no 24371515, given in the CBI report. So, the outburst of Maran against The New Indian Express group is amusing at best, and ridiculous at worst.

Why? One, he cannot deny that the CBI, which has reported on his wrong doings, is his own government’s agency. Two, the inquiry was instituted by the CBI acting suo motu; therefore it was no political hand moving against Maran in ‘wilderness’. Three, he has to answer his government’s CBI’s report instead of faulting The New Indian Express which did nothing other than making it public.
Maran’s claim to innocence rests on a letter (dated 6.4.2009) issued by V Meenalochiny, General Manager (OP) Chennai Telephones. This was in response to Maran’s letter sent couple of days before. The substance of the BSNL letter is this: One, “only one BSNL connection was provided” at his Boat Club residence to Maran when he was the Telecom Minister; two, that “only phone allotted was 24371500 ISDN-BRA” and “no other BSNL connection was provided” at Maran’s home till date; three, as an MP, Maran was allowed 4,50,000 call units on that number for three years but he had used just 1/3 of it. So far from pilfering billions of calls, Maran has not even used his quota of calls as an MP. Brandishing Meenalochiny’s letter, Maran asserted that TNIE story that 323 BSNL lines were installed in his home is false. Examine this claim now.
The CBI report gives the specific numbers of the 323 BSNL ISDN lines installed in Maran’s Boat Club home. But, Meenalochiny’s letter says only one line — bearing 24371500 — and no other, was installed in his home. If what she says is untrue, Maran’s defence collapses. Here is the evidence that clinches that Meenalochiny’s letter is incorrect.
Go to Chennai Telephones directory inquiry search at http://210.212.240.244: 8181/CIPDQ.aspx. And type ‘Dayanidhi Maran MP’ in the name column and click. You will get this: Telephone No: 24371515; DAYANIDHI MARAN MP; 3/1, BOAT CLUB 1ST AVENUE, RA PURAM, CHENNAI, 600028. Note the number that appears. It is 24371515. But Meenalochiny mentions only 24371500 — not 24371515 - in Maran’s home. Now go to the same web page. Fill the name as ‘CGM Chennai Telephones’ with the Boat Club address of Maran. You will get this: Telephone No: 24371500; CGM CHENNAI TELEPHONES RES OF 3/1, BOAT CLUB 1ST AVENUE, RA PURAM, CHENNAI. 600028.
So, it is incorrect to say that only one BSNL line was installed in Maran’s home. The BSNL line, 24371500, is not in Maran’s home, but in the name of CGM Chennai Telephones. The other line installed in Maran’s home and name even today is 24371515. This destroys Meenalochiny’s claim that only 24371500 is installed in Maran’s home. More. The number 24371515 is no ordinary number. The CBI talks about the criticality of this number thus: “As a sample study it is learnt that 48,72,027 units of calls have emanated from one telephone No 24371515 in the month of March, 2007 alone, which is indicative of massive multi-media transfer in the underlying connections.” Even granting she was under pressure to respond within 48 hrs, Meenalochiny could not have missed this No 24371515, because, first, out of the 323 lines, this number has been tracked by the CBI for its use and, next, it appears on the Chennai Telephones website even today. Why was this omitted then? Because mentioning this number means admitting the CBI case. And more. The CBI has unearthed the fact that with ‘2437’ as the common first four digits a mini-home telephone exchange with 323 lines was created at Maran’s home and that, by a secret underground cable, they were linked to SUN TV. In the entire Chennai Telephones only 323 lines have ‘2437’ as the common first four digits. If Meenalochiny is correct, there was, even now there is, only one line in the whole Chennai Telephones circle which starts with ‘2437’! Why such an exclusive number without any companion numbers for Maran only? Only she can explain the deficits in her letter; or Maran who relies on her letter to prove his honesty. Meenalochiny is now not GM (OP), but she is still in Chennai Telephones only. All attempts to reach her, as advised by Maran, by SMS and calls proved futile.
More. The CBI report says that there are 23 lines with ‘2437’ as the first four digits with the following numbers, namely, 2211 to 2213 (3 lines); 2222; 2233; 2244 to 2246 (3 lines); 2255 to 2257 (3 lines); 2266 to 2268 (3 lines); 2277 to 2279 (3 lines); 2288 to 2290 (3 lines); 2290; 2299; 2300; 2301; it also says that there are 300 lines with the same ‘2437’ as the first four digits followed by the next four digits starting with 1500 and ending with 1799, for the 300 lines. Obviously the CBI has not fabricated these numbers. They existed. But where are they now? Why did Maran forget the No 24371515, which is listed in Maran’s name as MP in his Boat Club home, which, in March 2007 alone, clocked over 48 lakh call units? Is it because not he, but, as the CBI says, SUN TV used it? Is Maran listening?
Now Maran is welcome to file his suit against TNIE. But, there is a lesson for those in Maran’s position. It is better to be silent than tell lies to confront truth.

I don't understand how 1998 bomb blast could bring the growth of CBE to a stand still. Delhi had been host to umpteen number of bomb blasts from the days of Khalistan and later islamic terrorists, The same goes for Mumbai. There have been blasts in Hyderabad and Pune. I am not sure about Bengaluru.
All of these cities have grown by leaps and bounds.

For north, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai these are common and not going to affect anyway. Anything in south of Hyderabad will have the impact...

b/w it is not that magnitude which i have posted before. It is just a sarcastic tone for VS007 who keeps telling 2001 CBE IT park announcement only made real estate price to rise in Coimbatore and other dt.

b/w 1998 bomb blasting had its strains on CBE till 2001-2002 because of the fear factor.

Guys.. Does anyone feel like I do that TN really missed out on Defence Industry while rest of South all have a thriving defence industrial zones.. Kerala gets all Navy related big projects! Hyderabad has a lot of DRDO and aerospace related industries! Karnataka is the leader in Aerospace and space tech.. TN really missed out here!!

Not too optimistic about the numbers but yes we also have numerous defence related establishments.

CVRDE(Avadi), OTA(St.Thomas mount), DRDO at bharathiyar univ.

FYI, a big chunk of people working at GTRE, HAL at blr are Tamils. Whether we have them or not, we will be part of the success story.

And please SHUN the comparison to other cities. You are inviting trouble from trouble makers by doing so. They aint the world leaders.. As far as defence related developments naama innum gundu sattiyila guthirai ottitrukkom. We are 10-15 yrs behind in many areas of defence.

Aim is not comparing with others.. Its about investment... OTA, DRDO at Bharathiyar Univ etc aren't manufacturing units! The thing with defence is, it usually brings in huge investments plus provides great job opportunities.. Also, they have huge positive influence in surrounding areas as well...

Does TN have any military cantonments??

^^
There are historical and political reasons for CG not sanctioning any Defence related major Industries for TN. Even in Air Force man power TN people are under 2.5 percent as per Air Chief.Navy also may be like this.

Our people are recruited mainly for sundry services.

During last 5 years , Kerala has got 3-4 BEL units. HAL is planning a new centre in Gujarat. Hosur in TN because of Bangalore may invite some developments. We should trust foreigners more than GOI to develop different types of Industries. May be lock up with Lockheed Martin, and other Defence related Companies who supply India and other Nations around to set up manufacturing units here..

Threre is a huge plan for CG to invest in Dharmapuri for DRDO.

If SG can push (the useless congress MPs from TN will happily send that to other state and DMK will try to postpone it to bring the same during their next tenure, as ADMK will try to take name now) CG, we can get the huge investment and which may employ more than 10,000 people.

Taneja aerospace unit near hosur is where PM IAF boein is under going overhaul. Thats where Nishanth UAV was recently tested. many such oppurtunities exist as bangalore gets filled.

As arul says huge plans there for dharmapuri. If only dmk doesnt delay things like they did when they were part of vajpayee and upa govts between 2011-2006, we should get it.

LEo will keep peddling some hallucinated dravidian theories, dont fall for that.

bangalore and hyderabad were selected for strategic reasons. There were even unconfirmed reports during telengana issue section of army suggested second capital for hyderabad as delhi can be easily targetted during war times,.

Presence of srilanks nearby and the heightened terorist activity then, meant indian armed forces wanted to invest in in land locations.

That meant banaglore and hyderabad got selected. Now even many aerospace related thing will also go to hyderabad. Hyderabad is also the bed rock of our missile programs.

Coimbatore and salem were the only proper locations in TN for investing by defence and it will continue to.

Kerala getting now is due to antony, otherwise not prefered location for drdo.

While entire west coast is with ship building yards of govt, east coast had only vizag and kolkatta. same srilanka terrorist issue.

Soon u will see submarines or atleast frigates and corvettes manufactured in chennai as comm. has recommended it.

Historically army prefered base in cooler climes,infra set up by british. Thats why ooty and bangalore were main base and army expanded footprints in bagalore post independence.

IAF is running short of pilots and needs many to come to it. It depends on how many of us are prepared to take it up.

Stop peddling some concotted theories.

Great info. u guys!! Thanks.. :cheers:

A Telecom Ministry that is run by Maran for Sun TV

This interesting article appeared in Indian Express

Tuesday May 2 2006 10:37 IST

S Gurumurthy

The telecom world sees Dayanidhi Maran wear two hats: one, as the Telecom Minister; the other, as the Promoter of Sun TV. The Sun document offering shares to the public, issued few weeks back, introduces one 'Dayanidhi Maran' as part of the Promoter Group of Sun, and stops at that. But that he is also the Telecom Minister who as government handles Sun as a licensee is concealed.

The reason why the Sun offer document hesitates to say that the Promoter group member Dayanidhi is the Minister Dayanidhi also is obvious. In his dual role inheres an irreconcilable conflict between his constitutional position as the Minister of Telecom and his business interest in Sun. But this mix-up is no accident, and not because an ignorant Prime Minister gave him a wrong portfolio.

It was the case of tail wagging the dog in coalition politics. It was a pre-planned demand by the DMK --read the two families, Marans' and Karunanidhi's-- that Dayanidhi be made the Telecom Minister.

It does not need a seer to unravel why such a demand. For, all that the Sun TV would need from the government to promote itself and all that it needs to contain and even crush its competitors and others is vested in the Telecom Ministry, that is, Maran himself if he became the Minister.

This power to promote itself and to contain others did not remain idle. It was actively, actually put to use. This is the core of this investigation.

A flashback to how Dayanidhi Maran became the Telecom Minister is crucially instructive. The 2004 Lok Sabha elections lifted Dayanidhi Maran from an air-conditioned board room and landed him into dusty street politics. After the elections DMK supremo Karunanidhi forthwith entered into a secret deal with Sonia through her emissary Janardhan Reddy about who should be appointed ministers from the DMK and what portfolio be given to them. Dayanidhi's name figured prominently in the secret pact as the Telecom Minister.

This was long before the ministry was constituted. The DMK support to Congress was based on this secret pact. Karunanidhi embarrassed the Congress by disclosing the secret pact when he suspected that the Congress was rethinking on giving the Telecom portfolio to the DMK, that is, to Maran.

Surprisingly the ministry of Commerce held by the senior Maran who made India proud at the WTO meet in Doha was abandoned by his family. Sentimentally, Dayanidhi should have insisted on his portfolio. But these practical men knew that there was no room for sentiment in politics and business. With business considerations as the sole driver the Kanunanidhi and Maran families swapped Telecom for Commerce. Dayanidhi became the Minister of Telecom in May 2004. He was the CEO of Sun TV just days earlier.

To understand how critical the Telecom Ministry is to control the new economy it is crucial to decipher how important it is for Sun TV to control it through Dayanidhi. This Ministry rations among the users the new economy asset the radio frequency waves, called 'spectrum' in technical language, through which sounds which we hear in cell phones or radio and images which we see on TV screen are transmitted. All wireless users - whether radio stations or cellphone operators, TV telecasters or fast Internet Service providers --have to get the frequency allocated by Dayanidhi's ministry. In short, without licence from Maran's ministry use of wireless is not allowed in law.

The ministry's website claims: "The Wireless Planning and Coordination [WPC]wing of the DoT is the authority for spectrum management, including Licensing, and caters to the needs of all wireless users in the country". The Ministry further claims that WPC performs 'the statutory functions of the government' and 'issues licences' for 'wireless stations'.

The Standing Advisory Committee on Radio Frequency Allocation [SACFA] makes recommendations for spectrum allocation and use by all wireless-based businesses in the country. Spectrum rationing is the most potent power in the wireless-driven modern economy.

Cable TVs cannot operate without wireless license as TV programmes have to be first up-linked to Satellite and then down-linked, both through wireless, and distributed through cable to households.

The Maran apologists would say 'but TV business does not come under Telecom ministry; it is under Information and Broadcasting Ministry'. This is a red herring. The question is who actually dictates terms to the TV business in rationing Spectrum?

Information and Broadcasting Ministry is just a post office on Spectrum-related issues. It is Dayanidhi's Telecom ministry that solely controls and rations the issue of wireless licences for all uses, including TV transmission.

See how Dayanidhi exercises this power not as Minister but as just the Promoter of Sun TV. An instance in point is the Jaya TV case. It had asked for permission from WPC for operating a 24-hour news channel like Sun News. Jaya TV did not seek additional spectrum. It merely asked for more intense use of the spectrum already given to it. The approval should have been granted as a formality.

Jaya TV had applied for approval in May 2004 and it has not got permission till today, that is, for two years. Jaya TV filed a writ and the court told the government to decide the issue within a stipulated time. The Writ Petition cited how another channel 'Kairali' was given identical permission within days of application. [It is no one's case that if it had had the like chance the AIADMK would have treated Sun TV differently].

Jaya TV is a known enemy for DMK. But what about the Tata Group? When the DTH license application of their joint venture with Sky landed on Dayanidhi's desk, against all norms of propriety and Ministerial conduct, he kept it pending while his brother conducted a parallel discussion for Sun TV's entry into the joint venture; only after adverse media comment and pressure from the Prime Minister's Office was the Tata-Sky license cleared by his Ministry.

How about spectrum allocations for telecom service providers? The Standing Committee of Parliament attached to the Telecom Ministry has made serious adverse comments on Dayanidhi's handling of spectrum allocation to service providers, and the differential treatment of operators using different technologies, in its report of December 2005.

It is a matter of national concern whether a scarce resource like spectrum should continue to be given away free, but there has been no response from Dayanidhi to the proposal for pricing of spectrum, including one national player's offer of paying a substantial sum of Rs 1500 crores for the allocation of spectrum for 3G services.

Dayanidhi's proximity to certain players may explain his reluctance to take decisions that are in the national interest, and explain why the Prime Minister has finally been forced to constitute a group of ministers to decide on spectrum policy as the Telecom Minister's policy on spectrum had become a tool of favour and disfavour.

See how he bends policies for Sun TV related matters. Dayanidhi's conflict of interest as businessman and as Minister became more demonstrable as Sun TV began aspiring for all wireless businesses. This is because of technological convergence of different wireless activities. For example, TV programmes can be transmitted by cell phones and telephones can operate on TV connections. Likewise Internet can carry voice and also TV display. A bill for convergence of wireless licences is pending before government. So, in future, all wireless services will be complementary and therefore competitive. Therefore, Sun TV began to look for all wireless based businesses.

The changes in Sun TV business plans and the changes in the government policies went hand in hand. Sun TV floated two companies Kal Radio [on October 7,2005] and South Asia FM [on November 9, 2005] for entry into wire and wireless telephony and other services. Forthwith, drastic liberalisation of telecom policy was announced on November 10, 2005 by Dayanidhi's Ministry as if to welcome the Sun companies into telecom business.

Despite critical comment from the Finance Ministry, the licence fee for the National Long Distance telephone was reduced from Rs.100 crores to just Rs 2.5, yes Rs 2.5 crores (and this at a time when several telecom players were on the verge of taking National Long Distance licenses, which could have earned the public exchequer several hundred crores of revenue)! And the International Long Distance licence fee was reduced from Rs 25 crores to Rs 2.5 crores.

Restrictions like the minimum net worth needed for grant of licence or the rollout of network in rural areas were all removed. Voice over Internet was allowed. Cable operators were allowed to carry voice traffic. Obviously the Maran family had advance knowledge of the policy changes and formed companies in anticipation of the policy changes.

Again, Sun TV claims that it has got the letter of intent for DTH licence from I&B Ministry. But with that almost ends I&B Ministry's role. Thereafter it is Dayanidhi Maran's Ministry which has to grant the Spectrum under the wireless policy procedures.

The DTH policy says that after letter of intent is issued by the I&B ministry, the applicant will 'apply to the WPC wing of the Ministry of Telecommunications for seeking wireless operational licences' for DTH. So the one who grants the wireless licence to Sun TV whose promoter is Dayanidhi Maran is Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran!

Identical is the case of the 67 out of 338 FM radio licences in 91 cities of India obtained by Sun TV group. It bid for 84, got 67 and would retain under the law some 46, and sell the balance. The wireless licences for the huge FM radio business of Sun TV whose promoter is Dayanidhi Maran would also be granted only by Dayanidhi Maran, the Telecom Minister.

Obviously the Sun TV group would not be treated like Tata group. It need not have to wait for two years or apply to the court like Jaya TV. It would probably get the spectrum like Kairali TV. This is the Ministry's rule for the Maran family.

Yes, it is Maran, the Minister, who grants licenses to Marans the Promoters of Sun TV and it is he who delays and denies them to those who compete with his business and who he is not inclined to. The functions of Maran the Minister and the interests of Marans the Sun TV promoters seem harmonious. The conflict is only between his function as the Minister and the interests of the public. In short the Telecom Ministry is run by Dayanidhi Maran for Sun TV and against those who are not for Sun TV.

though argument from those guys were different funny how we defended back then.

go through that link.

KT you might remember more from then

Does TN have any military cantonments??

Wellington, Ooty
Mount-Pallavaram, Chennai.

Other than this there is a big ordinance factory in Ooty, Tank factory, clothing factory in AVADI.

Major bases include INS Rajali, Tanjavur AFS(under activation), Fort St George and I don't think any major units are placed in the state. Most of the corps are placed in the north as geopolitical situation requires so.

There is an Ordinance factory in Trichy too called OFT (Ordnance Factory Tiruchirapalli) & HAPP (Heavy Alloy Penetration Project)

[url]http://ofbindia.nic.in/units/index.php?unit=happ

I think all the business houses in the country use their political connections to get some sort of favour... and here Maran's are in politics and in business... so it is obvious that they would have bend the rules to suit their business...

It is with each and everyone of us... from jumping the queue to 2G scam...

does any of the businesses disclose income and pay right tax? is everyone paying sales tax? are we paying the actual stamp duty?

Yes the magnitude are different b'cos of the position of the person on the ladder in the democrazy...

anyway leaving it aside - is it right time to buy Sun TV shares ? :nuts:

^^ Is it right time to buy Sun TV shares

Keep watch for some more period.. atleast upto Maran entering Dihar Jail... then u think of buying the share...

Keep watch for some more period.. atleast upto Maran entering Dihar Jail... then u think of buying the share...

Unless government agrees to Baba Ramdev it will be years before they decide if he is going to Tihar Jail or not...

^^ Maybe Avadi is larger just because of the large equipment manufactured. I think the Trichy factory manufactures infantry weapons.

Unless government agrees to Baba Ramdev it will be years before they decide if he is going to Tihar Jail or not...

Sun network owns an airline which has ordered 60 American as well as 30 French aircrafts. Dont be surprised if calls from Washington and Paris saves him. These guys are more powerful than Babas.

Exactly. Otherwise one of the their aircraft could be gifted to 10 Jan path in New Delhi to get a clear chit from CBI.. like how thata opps tata got now.

At the end of the day there is nothing personal, moral or ethical its just good business.

Also those ordered were part of the obama visit deal,mous i thinkl

clean chit bureau will issue clean chits except for small fries.

This what cong does to states not ruled by its friends. think we may be in for harrowing time.


be ready to experience such stuff

Non Congress states are also put to financial and other discrimination affecting good governance.


Chhattisgarh is a model state as regards providing rice and wheat to BPL families. The UPA shedding tears for the aam aadmi reduced the quota of foodgrains to the state. The Congress led UPA government suddenly and most abruptly cut the kerosene quota by 32% for Gujarat. This meant that Gujarat will be denied 3 crore litres a month.


Due to delayed release of funds the PM Grameen Sadak Yojana has come to a standstill in Bihar. Karnataka declared that it is getting hardly any funds under the PMGSY. Uttarakhand has voiced its concern that the Special Industrial Package granted by Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee for 2003-2013 was unilaterally cut down in 2007. On protest from the BJP, it was extended only till March 2010. For a Hill State which needs to boost its industry for greater employment potential, this was an unfair rejection.


Bihar produces only 150 mega watts electricity. Two dozen applications for setting up newer production units are not getting clearances as no coal block linkages are being provided. Karnataka is also suffering due to long delay in allocation of coal linkage to its power projects. In spite of several requests Karnataka has not been given gas linkages.


Bihar is also waiting to obtain clearances on a dozen investment proposals of big corporate houses which were interested in setting up ethanol production units in the state. For a state keen on increasing its industries profile and thereby generating employment, the wait has been for more than 4 years. A Government of India order has denied Bihar, without even attempting to resolve any critical issues which may be reasons for this major hold up.


Madhya Pradesh had a deficit production of 785.3 million units of power due to the insufficient allocation of coal to its thermal units. The economies of generating power have also suffered because Madhya Pradesh’s own coal blocks are not allotted to it. It is expected to lift it from states far off resulting in higher production cost. A Union Minister arbitrarily ordered suspension of work on the Maheshwar power project preventing the generation of electricity.


Conversely, Gujarat which has now reached surplus production in electricity is unable to sell its power to those states which desperately need it as no grid connectivity is provided.


States are not consulted when decisions affecting import or export are made. Karnataka alleged that the unilateral decision of the Union Government to drastically reduce the import duty on silk yarn from 30% to 5% has hurts silk economy badly. The sudden ban of cotton export, without consulting Gujarat which produces the maximum quantity has affected the farmers adversely.


It is felt that there is no level playing field in the supply of fertilizers to the states.


In 2008 a panel of 15 state governments, led by West Bengal, had asked the 13th Finance Commission to increase their share in the divisible pool of central taxes to 50% from the existing 30.5%. Calculations show that states have received only 24% of the total revenue in 2011 while their developmental spending is Rs.512, 000 crores, while the centre’s developmental expenditure was Rs.303, 000 crores only.


The States right to financial autonomy for planning annual estimates of expenditure, under Article 202 of the Constitution is severely eroded. A classic example is when the Centre retained Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) where the entire money belongs to the states.


Furthermore, states suffer when their legislatures pass crucial Finance and other Bills which await the Governor’s or the President’s consent months on end. Till recently, NDA ruled Bihar had more than 14 Bills some of which were Finance Bills awaiting consent. Other BJP ruled states also are enduring such experiences. Uttarakhand’s Bill to set up Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya University passed by its legislature is being held up at the Raj Bhavan.

Arasu cable - a big blow for Maran & CO

Southern Districts cable operators plea to the Government

@ Defence Projects:

CG aka Congress Govt favours Congress ruled states generally for all CG projects. Many of the CG projects / PSU projects in TN were established during Congress rule.

Only for strategic / logistic reasons, TN got Defence /CG projects in the last 3-4 decades.

@ AIADMK vs DMK - who is better wrt Ind Dev:

I am amused by the comments here. Both of them are not upto the level. It is because of the inherent advantage of TN and its strong ancillary support base, many MNCs set up shops here.

Probably, we can compare only on one basis - who was less obstacle?

Here JJ initiated some but did not conclude a few. Auto Revolution started by her. RWH & New Veeranam were the Halmarks. TIDEL was born by her initiative. IT initiatives started by her.

MK was such a good PR man, he signed (and published with fanfare). But out of the 2500+ MOUS signed, only a few saw the light of the day.

Hosur Industrialisation happened during his time.

Hyundai was saved by personal investments by Sr. Maran & PC. Sr. Maran was shifted from Heavy Industries Ministry at CG since he favoured Hyundai and sabotaged Maruti.

Aircel - propped up by investments from Sr.Maran. Shivashankaran was used by him. When Shivshankaran was trying to outsmart them, he was punished and he was forced to sell to Maxis.

Electronic - Nokia etc happened by efforts of Jr Maran - Set Top Boxes for SCV & DTH were taken care of.

The flyovers were hurriedly built around
Gopalapuram - Peters Road -2 Nos, Cathedral Road - 1 No.
Velachery & Cenotaph Road - Adyar - 2 Nos, Cenotaph Road - 1 No
T Nagar - 2 Nos
(Perambur got delayed since it was of no importance to a few)

Overnight, a 80 metre road was laid in Kottur behind SPIC Group ACM's bungalow (earlier 20 ft road) - TVH project being built on SPIC ACM's earlier land (now with TVH) - MSB needs 80 ft for sanction.

Greenfield Airport was announced off NH4, immediately after Marans had a tiff with first family. It was stopped after the truce was declared.

Arasu Cable was started after the tiff and was buries after the truce.

No need to explain more.

IMO, Both Govts lack Long Term vision and are prone to populist measures. TN has grown by its own advantages and not due to any of these Govts.

In your logic the credit to Taj Mahal should go the 'kothanars' (construction laborers) and not Shajahan. When ADMK does something the credit goes to Amma but when DMK does something the credit to the low level implementers like Maran et al, please do not expose your partisan nature so blatantly. The mark of a leader is to have able people around him and bouquet or brick bats should go to the leader that is common logic SIR.

Factually speaking TIDEL from ground up is MKs idea, JJ did ELNET park but it is the TIDEL park in chennai that started the IT revolution is chennai. Like it or not give the devil its due, else your behavior shall be deemed more devilish.

No one here says that MK is great, but between the two there is a huge difference, one gets 10 out of 100 and other 80 out 100, your logic seems to be hey neither of them get a 100 so they are the same. But I beg to differ 80 is 700% better than 8.

Please try to list all the auto/ancillary and Electronics/ancillaries units that has come up in SPD/oragadam area during the last 2 periods, you would discover it for yourself.

There is no point fighting. This thread will be the most active thread for the next 5 years. We can discuss how to prosecute DMK ministers for their corruption and stopping all progressive projects because it was started by Stalin or Maran:lol:
Most of the projects thread can be shut down. In Chennai, the discussions and legislative assembly threads are very active now. :)

You may have noticed that most of the threads are inactive. The only threads that are active are arratai arangam and the tamil nadu legilative assembly.This will continue for the next 5years,unless a verdict is given soon at Bangaluru.
I am quoting from MRTS website to compare the efficiency of the two governments.The planning for the project started in the80s.Construction started in 1991,but most of the work was done in1996 and the1st phase was opened in1997.The second phase work was expedited by the UPA government and was opened in2007.The then Tamilnadu government did not and refused to cotribute in the costs.The 3rd phase was started in2007 itsellf with a contribution in the cost by the state government.Wor on this phase is progressing rapidly.
The Seth samudram project has been the clamour all political paties of Tamil nadu,including the ADMK. But because the DMK actively took part in its implementation,Jayalalithaa is totally opposing it.
srinivasan1@hotmail.

This thread will be like this because fan boys of dmk,saint stalin behavelike worse sore losers. All those thrashing dmk had supported when something good was done. Even after election not reconciling, and allow nice light hearted discussion, the entire threads are being hijacked. please dont beahve like sore losers.

Worse was when enire tn voters being blamed within even weeks of their decision. get a life guys.

Moderators time to rename the thread - AIADMK vs DMK supporters discussion thread !!!

Police crackdown at Ramlila ground, Baba Ramdev asked to leave Delhi....

Are we seeing glimpses of similar crackdowns happening in Arab countries ???

not required. after 2 yrs, again we need to rename it AIADMK Vs DMDK:lol:

I think something fishy there! there might be 2 theories...
1. Govt might not be that much foolish to do this..
i think there might be some terror alert and they dont want to go open public.

2. Congress want to dilute Strong Lokpal Bill. Hence they used Ramdev as a weapon to turn media, and india's attention in another direction.
I think Lokpal public committee has given June 6 as deadline for including PM also under Lokpal.

^^ Government is foolish with such response. My cousin lives in Delhi, says it reminds him a lot about June 1975 emergency. (He was at Ramleela grounds)

Indira used police force and midnight arrest of JP then and now Ramdev. Bad times started for Congress at the center. They can never explain the use of brutal force against women and children on peaceful dharna (Police are seen dragging women holding their hair).

A sweet surprise. NDTV reports Ramdev issue without bias.

IBN's Sardesai showed again that he is madam Sonia's boot licker.

Egypt style revolution is the only way. If that's not possible, we should request Army to take over this country (I am serious).
