544. The Biggest Contractor

The Biggest Contractor

Former Union Minister Mr. Subramonia Swamy, on 20 February 2017, alleged that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Directorate of Enforcement (ED) and the Department of Income Tax (IT) did not act upon his complaint against former Union Minister Mr. P. Chithambaram and his son, Mr. Karthi Chithambaram, due the pressure exerted by the system. He added that he had submitted a list of 21 secret bank accounts of the father son duo to the above agencies.

If his revelations are true, Mr. P. Chithambaram utilized every minute of his service to mint money. Naturally, he possesses assets disproportionate to his known sources of income and this far exceeds the assets of Ms. Jayalalithaa.

One would say that the cases are not proved as in the case of Ms. Jayalalithaa.

But, the CBI has not proved any case against any member of the ruling class. The case against Ms. Jayalalithaa was proved because the state police and officers pursued it.

Evidently, the recent verdict against Jayalalithaa vitiates Article 14 of the Constitution of India.

The New Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Mr. K. Palanisamai, on his Day-1 at work, cleared five key welfare measures. He allotted Re. 2400 crore for drought relief.

Further, he allotted Re.200 crore for the women to buy two wheelers. According to this scheme, Re. 20,000 each would be granted as subsidy to one lakh working women every year for the purchase of two wheelers of their own choice.

It is customary for the state government to buy wet grinders, TVs and other items in bulk for the people with an eye on commission.

Now, the new government has decided to give money to individuals through banks. The ministers are not likely to get commission. The traders will be benefitted and the economic activity will increase.

The money allotted for farmers also is to directly go into their bank accounts.

The departure from the customary style must be welcomed by one and all.

If all purchases are delegated to the entities in the district level, there will be a sea change in the economic activity in Tamil Nadu.

A reporter asked whether he would nationalize sand mining or not. The Chief Minister evaded the question. After watching this, some people said that he is only a contractor to the ruling class of Tamil Nadu to collect money from the manipulators.

However, a minister said that the licences for sand mining were granted by the Union government.

It is a sensitive matter. The media picked up courage to report it. The Union Government does not expect a minister to utter any word over it.

The United Front (UF) Government under Mr. H.D. Deve Gowda delegated the power to grant mining licences to the State Governments. Now, the Union Government and the State Governments vie with one another to alienate the public resources without a law in place.

The Prime Minister is not ready to restore all public resources. In fact, he handed over some public resources to some private parties in very bad faith.

What does he get in return?

Apparently, he is not after foreign banks. But he got his present position for virtually nothing. The cloth he wears is so fine in texture that some people in some place spend not less than Re. one lakh per day. This is nothing but corrupt money.

Therefore, the people would consider him as the biggest contractor in India.

This condition would continue until the people get political freedom and legal equality.
