Modified lies & Swamified PIL - Sonia Gandhi's Medical expenses

Today my time line was full with arguments & counter arguments on Sonia Gandhi's medical treatments in US and expenses.If I can believe Subramaniam Swamy & Narendra Modi the expense incurred to exchequer is staggering 1880 crores.
Govt paid this amount as Sonia holding cabinet rank of National Advisory Council and UPA chairperson as per Modi & Swami

Immediately seeing this figure i remember the logic of CAG Vinod Rai, I felt  the amount was presumptive rather than an actual cost occurred .

i wish to explain why Modi's claims are blatant lie like CAG report on 2G & Coal allocation. I take 100 days Sonia Gandhi spent abroad for treatment as base(actual days are very less, but for easy computation)

1. Expenses for Team of Doctors Consultation - Per day 50 thousand dollars expense - Rs.27 crores
2. Treatment Expense - 1 lac dollars per month - I take medication at home too, so for last 3 years - Rs.36 crs
3. Shopping bill - 1 lac dollars every day - 55 crs ( dont think she was shopping when she was under treatment, but Swamy says, we have to believe him)
4.Chartered flight - (Swamy accused of using chartered flight from London to US only means 1 or 2 days while going and 1 or 2 days while coming. To avoid any error i give 30 days 24/7 chartered flight was on call.Chartered flight is available from 2500 dollars per hour, i gave a premium of 25000 dollars per hour rent) = 25000 dollars per hr for 1 month = 99 crs
4. Accommodation in Park avenue apartment - premium villas are available at rent of 1 lac dollars per month even in Newyork, still I gave a premium to avoid any error, 50 thousand dollars per day for 100 days -  27 crs

5.Food (Swamy told pizza from star hotel to Pulok Chatterji, i have to accommodate that too here so calculating 1000 dollars per head per day for 30 persons - There were only couple of people accompanied Sonia in treatment, still avoid any error calculating as 30) - 1000 dollars per head for 30 persons for 100 days - 16 crs

6. Diamonds ( Swamy specially told me that one of main cost is diamonds, so i calculate at rate of 11 million per diamond- costliest diamond - Sonia purchased 25 times- i know she wont have that much mood swing still for Swamy I calculate at 25) 11 lacs dollars per diamond - 25 pieces -147 crs

7. Travel expense of visitors -( Assuming many people from Delhi gone and visited her) - as they have not pre planned trip and taken emergency ticket i put 10 lac per ticket for 100 persons - 10 cr

(Modi didnt get Visa & Swamy not accompanied so as swamy says I am not putting any miscellaneous expense for male escort - as Swamy accused)

So this much inflated bills also total expense is touching only 418 crs
Note :-

Average expense for caner treatment is 20 thousand dollars per month only which include doctors consultation and medicines, if its leukemia treatment cost is 1.3 lacs dollars per month only including doctor fees.In case of whipple procedure surgery on pancreas( as swamy said about Sonia Gandhi) cost will be 60 thousand dollars average only

Purchase of diamonds as expense is imagination of Swamy, if we take as it is it wont 25 nos :-)
No of people and food expense wont be that much, Sonia was accompanied by only 2 people, even Priyanka & Rahul was there for some days only


This is another fictional works of  malicious  RSS people to attack Sonia, even question her integrity and family life( male escort, it will be audited as miscellaneous) . does Swamy and Modi see all ladies are like the member's of their family?
First RSS attacked Rahul Gandhi with Boston arrest and then rape of a gal named Sukanya, when they failed in both started attacking Manmohan Singh in Coal allocation & 2G. When people of india and Supreme Court rejected both they are coming up with an attack on Sonia.
It sad to see that even medical treatment of our respected leader is a political weapon for Modi, it shows his culture, upbringing, hatred, and evil mind

Why Modi Fear Lokayuktha

17 scams under Modi which he don't want an inquiry by Lokayuktha. transparent Gujarat 

Land for Nano plant at low rate

The state government allotted 1100 acres of land to Tata Motors Ltd (TML) to set up the Nano plant near Sanand. The land was allotted allegedly at Rs900 per square metre while its market rate was around Rs10,000 per square metre. Simply put, the government gave Tata Motors total monetary benefit of Rs33,000 crore.

Land sold cheap to Adani Group

Land was allotted to Adani Group for the Mundra Port & Mundra Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at Re1 per square metre. This is grossly lower than the market rate.

Cheap land for ind, not for airforce

The Gujarat government allotted 3,76,561 square metre of land to real estate developer K Raheja at Rs470 per square metre, while the South-West Air Command (SWAC) was asked to pay Rs1100 per square metre for 4,04,700 square metre land.

Agricultuure University land allotted for hotel

State government allotted 65,000 square metres of land belonging to Navsari Agriculture University in Surat to Chatrala Indian Hotel Group for a hotel project despite objection from the institute. This deal was allegedly brokered by the chief minister through his office causing a loss of Rs426 crore.

Border land for chemical firmsA huge plot of land near the Pakistan border was allotted to salt chemical companies said to be close to BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu.

Essar Group's encroachmentState government has allotted 2.08 lakh square metres of land to Essar Steel. Part of the disputed land is CRZ and forest land that cannot be allotted as per Supreme Court guidelines.

Land given to Bharat HotelPrime land was allotted to Bharat Hotels without auction on Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway in Ahmedabad. The company has been allotted 25,724 square metre land.

Corruption in allotment of lakes

State government, in 2008, awarded contracts for fishing activities in 38 lakes without inviting any tenders; bidders were ready to pay Rs25 lakh per lake.

Land given to L&T

Larson & Toubro (L&T) was allotted 80 hectare land at Hazira at the rate of Re1 per square metre.

Land allotted to other industries

Instead of auctioning prime land in the major cities of the state, the Gujarat government had allotted the land to some industries and industrialists who had signed MoUs in the five editions of VGGIS.

Cattle feed fraud

The Gujarat government had purchased cattle feed from a blacklisted company at Rs240 per 5 kg whereas the market rate is just Rs120 to Rs140 per 5 kg.

Scam in Anganwadi centres

Two bidders apparently formed a cartel and bid for supplying supplementary Nutrition Extruded Fortified Blended Food (EFBF) to Anganwadi centres of the state. One company bid for three zones, while the other for only two. Guidelines were violated, causing the state exchequer a loss of Rs92 crore.

GSPC

Despite an investment of Rs4933.50 crore, GSPC has been able to earn only Rs290 crore from the 13 out of 51 blocks of oil and gas discovered by the company. Contractual relations of Geo-Global and GSPC deserve investigation since Geo-Global is to be hired for a higher fee, above profit-sharing.

Luxury aircraft used by CM

Instead of using commercial flights or state-owned aircraft and helicopter, chief minister Narendra Modi had used private luxury aircraft for around 200 trips in five years. The cost had been borne by the beneficiary industries.

Rs500 crore SSY scam

The Rs6237.33 crore Sujalam Sufalam Yojana (SSY) announced in 2003 was to be completed by 2005 but it is still not completed. Public accounts committee of Gujarat assembly unanimously prepared a report indicating a scam of overRs500 crore which was not tabled.

Indigold Refinery land scam

Around 36.25 acre farmland in Kutch district was purchased and sold in violation of all norms by Indigold Refinery Ltd.

Swan Energy

49% of the shares of Pipavav Power Station of GSPC were sold to Swan Energy without inviting any tenders.

Is there any Modi magic in vibrant Gujarat or its just a media hype?

Oct 6, 2011, 12.00AM IST

Is the Congress afraid of winning in Gujarat?

Nothing else explains why it lets Narendra Modi tom-tom development when it should have been the Congress banging the drums. The economic achievements of governments before Modi's read like an award citation, but too much secularism has since led the Congress astray. Instead of showcasing its past performance to regain Gujarat, it is obsessed with nailing Modi as a communalist-in-chief. Naturally, it is not getting anywhere fast.

Look also at the good memories the Congress is erasing.

In 1991, a full 10 years before Modi arrived, as many as 17,940 out of 18,028 villages were already electrified. The Ukai plant, which uses washed coal to generate power, was also pre-Modi as was the asphalting of 87.5% of Gujarat roads. In 1980-81, Gujarat's share in manufacturing at the national level was only 16.29%, but by 2000-01 it rose to an impressive 28.71%. Not surprising then that between 1994-2001, well before Modi, Gujarat's state domestic product grew at 10%-13%, way higher than the all-India average.

Since 1980, Gujarat has been India's poster state. Modi had nothing to do with the world's largest ship-breaking yard coming up in Bhavnagar, nor with the setting up of the Ambani refinery in Jamnagar. Well before Modi, Gujarat accounted for 45% of India's petroleum products, roughly 18% of the country's cargo handling, 23% of our total requirement for crude oil and 30% of our natural gas needs from offshore basins.

In addition, Gujarat, since the 1990s, produces as much as 78% of the country's salt, 98% of soda ash and 26% of India's pharmaceutical products. Because of chief minister Chimanbhai Patel's intervention in 1993, port traffic in this state jumped from a mere 3.18 million tonnes in 1981 to 86.17 million tonnes in 2001. In the same period, Gujarat's share of national port traffic increased from 45.36% to above 76% and has stayed there ever since. Modi's decade has not made that percentage grow.

During the eventful 1990s, Gujarat successfully augmented 35% of its power generation capacity. It also closed down five major loss-making public sector units, initiating instead a variety of public-private partnerships. In fact, an early short-lived BJP government under Keshubhai Patel in 1995-96 did some good work too. In particular, he was instrumental in setting up Gujarat's Industrial Development Board, but Modi has blanked him out from public memory as well.

If Gujarat's agriculture is prospering today, it is because the state has begun to receive Sardar Sarovar waters from 2002. Once again, Modi had little to do with the inauguration of this project, but he was at the right place at the right time to take the credit for it. If there was ever a person who reaped what somebody else had sown, then that is Modi.

Gujarat also is not alone in posting agricultural growth rates above the national average; even backward Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh handsomely beat the all-India figure. Finally, it is not as if Gujarat is overall the richest state either; Haryana, Punjab, Maharashtra and Kerala are all much better off, primarily because they have lower rural poverty rates.

At the same time, to round off this number, it must be acknowledged Gujarat was never poor. True, it was a lowly eighth in terms of prosperity in 1960, but it has been at number three since 1990 and continues to hold that spot. Modi may not have self-started Gujarat's development, but he certainly kept the engine running.

In line with this, Modi should be credited for taking a few initiatives of his own. For example, while Gujarat's villages were all lit, it is also a fact that the state's electricity board was bankrupt in 2002. Loans were arranged to overcome this shortfall and power thefts too were curtailed by police monitoring. Gujarat also did well in making the central government's 'Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan' work, especially in connection with the girl child. Yet, the percentage fall in Gujarat's infant mortality and poverty rates are well below the national average.

It is not as if Gujarat's pre-2001 achievements are hard to dredge out of history. But by keeping silent about its successful past, the Congress has added body to Modi's presence. This enables him to keep his people in line by telling them he is about to get angry, but that should not disorient the opposition. Now that Gujarat's economy is all grown up and good-looking, the Congress should admit its responsibility and submit to a paternity test. What is there to hide?

Hefty anti-saffron helpings, on their own, will not do. With a stomach full of that stuff, the Congress can hardly catch up with Modi. In fact, Jawaharlal Nehru taught us that secularism does not win elections, development does. Why then is the Congress doing its best to come second-best by gagging its record of the 1990s? In politics, as in sports, winning is not everything, it is the only thing.

Most recently, Mukesh Ambani praised Narendra Modi for putting Gujarat on the world map. He seems to have forgotten that his father, and Reliance, prospered in Gujarat well before Modi properly entered politics. On the other hand, there is much wisdom in the old Sicilian proverb that we keep our friends close, but our enemies even closer.

In which case, is Mukesh close or closer to Modi?

No resignation, no enquiry in vibrant Gujarat on CAG report

When BJP ask for Prime Minister Manmohan Singhs resignation before that they should ask Narendra Modis resignation based on CAG report. why so called patriots are silent about this? or BJP took license to loot country?
Times of India article on CAG report
Rs.17,000 cr loss
Report submitted on last day of assembly session
No debate on report
Those who asked for debate were kicked out of assembly- democracy or dictatorship?

GANDHINAGAR: The Comptroller and Auditor General reports for 2009-10 and 2010-11, placed before the Gujarat assembly on the last day of the budget session on Friday, tore into the Narendra Modi government on the issue of corruption by pointing out irregularities causing a cumulative loss of nearly Rs 17,000 crore.

The villain of the piece turned out to be state-owned public sector undertaking (PSU), Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation (GSPC), which showed irregularities leading to losses of up to Rs 12,400 crore.

The reports slam the handling of finances by the Gujarat government, saying there were regular unspent "excesses" left in all departments over the last four years, and that there were "last minute fund releases and issuance of re-appropriation/surrender orders at the fag end, particularly on the last day of the year".

State-owned power distribution companies (DISCOMs) also bled the exchequer, according to the CAG reports. CAG also came down heavily on the government for its failure to keep its water bodies, rivers, lakes and ponds, free of pollution. Saying the Sabarmati Riverfront project's planning and scope was "inadequate", CAG underlined that the project "defeated" the objective of keeping the river clean. Central Effluent Treatment Plants were not complying with norms on quality of discharge either, it said.

On pollution, due to urbanization and industrialization, CAG said out of 170 urban local bodies, 46 were discharging sewage into rivers. Of these 46, only six had sewage treatment plants to release treated sewage into the rivers. Further, nine local bodies discharged untreated sewage into the lakes, 26 into natural drains, and nine into the sea.

CAG found holes in the pipelined water supply in rural areas. It said 32% of drinking water sources were contaminated during a pre-monsoon survey, and the affected villagers were not even alerted about this. As a result, there was no reduction in the incidence of water-borne diseases across the state.

With all but four Congress MLAs suspended from the House, there could be no debate on the damning CAG reports. As soon as the house began functioning on Friday, MLAs Rajendrasinh Parmar, Paranjayadityasinhji Parmar, Jodhaji Thakore and Amit Chavda sought discussion on CAG report, which the speaker Ganpar Vasava disallowed.

The quartet rushed to the well carrying banners on CAG. They were suspended, quite predictably, and escorted out by the security staff.
