561. BALCO

BALCO

The Union Cabinet, on 19 April 2017, cleared Re. 3174 crore to buy 16,15000 Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) machines. The price of the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) was not mentioned.

If a country cannot make EVMs and the VVPATs, why should it go for them? Why should India forego the foreign exchange?

 Is it not for huge commission?

What is the real cause for substituting the ballot paper with the EVMs?

Will not the ballot paper method give more employment to the people?

In what way does the nation dispose of the electronic cum plastic wastes?

Will not the money mitigate the sufferings of the farmers and others?

The Supreme Court of India could have prevented it at least to protect the environment.

Surely, these wastes would be more polluting than all the vehicles in New Delhi put together.

The Union Government, on 19 April 2017, decided to put an end to the use of red beacons from May 1 in their vehicles. After announcing this, Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi said that every Indian is a VIP.

This is not something that must be announced by the Prime Minister of India. There are many other serious things. He simply converts small things into big things and big things into small things.

Everyone knows that his desire for power precludes that of others. But he is not holding the real power. Experience shows that he is not capable of exercising power.

Prime Minister Mr. Modi must see the light and allow others to see the light so that the people would see the real world, ‘the world of Ideas’. Now the people believe what they see is the real world.

         A Supreme Court of India bench comprising Jutice P.C. Ghose and Justice Rohinton Nariman, on 19 April 2017, revived the criminal conspiracy case against Mr. L. K. Advani and others, in the Babri Masjid demolition case. The bench directed a Lucknow court to hold day to day trial and pronounce the judgement in two years. The bench forbade the transfer of the judge at Lucknow and asked the CBI to produce at least one witness every day.

The bench said that crimes that shook the secular fabric of the Constitution of India were committed on December 6, 1992.

 The Allahabad High Court, 16 years ago, dropped the case on technical grounds –like jurisdiction.

In this connection, it must be noted that Justice Karnan of the Culcutta High Court has not exonerated Justice P.C. Ghose from the Atrocities against SC/STs case.

Further, the democratic fabric is as important as the secular fabric of the Constitution of India

The ruling class of India keep all the natural resources of India. They either give unlimited money to the media houses or use threat to deny freedom to Indians.

It has been conclusively proved that the people have not seen this work due to any one of the above factors or due to the combination of the above factors.

Due to this, the judges of the Supreme Court of India are unable to listen to the voice of others. The judges do not recognize others at all.

Therefore, they form surprisingly unsound opinion about freedom and democracy.

This has disastrous consequences.

In this connection it must be stated that in deference to the first letter dated 1-6-2001, the Union Cabinet that met in 4 July 2001 under Prime Minister Mr. A.B. Vajpayee devised some guidelines for selling the Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).

Accordingly, the PSUs should not be sold to: 1.Those who remain as a threat to the security of India, 2.Those who keep ill-gotten wealth and 3.Those who committed “grave offences”.

The grave offence was defined as one, which outraged the moral sense of the community. The Government, further, clarified that for matters other than security, any conviction by a court or an indictment by a regulatory authority for a ‘grave offence’ would be sufficient.

Based on the above guidelines, the Cabinet Committee on Disinvestments (CCD) disqualified the bid of Hindujas for buying the AI because of its involvement in the Bofors case. Sterlite and Videcorn were disqualified because they were indicted by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Here, the Sterlite was disqualified from buying the Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) and not the Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (BALCO)

As the Sterlite was disqualified from bidding for the HZL, the Government should not have handed over the BALCO to the Sterlite.

But some Union Ministers contacted the judges of the Supreme Court of India and enlisted their support. Then they said that the sale of the BALCO would not be affected because the guidelines would be effective prospectively than retrospectively. This appeared as an opinion given in bad faith because a petition that challenged the privatization of the BALCO was pending in the Supreme Court of India.

Finally, the court said that it would not interfere in the economic policy. After that, the BALCO went into the hand of the Sterlite. It happened not due to the fault of the government alone. It happened because of the encouragement the government received from secret influences emanating from the Supreme Court of India.

Thus, the BALCO was handed over to a private party merely on a technical ground. Later, even the HZL was, in bad faith, given to the Sterlite.

Does any law allow this? If any law allows this, why did the court ask Miss. Jayalalithaa to surrender the TANSI land?

The decision not to give the PSUs to the entities that remain as a threat to the security has far reaching consequences. Actually, the decision to sell the PSUs to private parties is a threat to the security of India. The decision would affect the stability of the nation.

Now, the Chief Justice of India would not dare to say in public that the court would not interfere in the economic policy of the government.

The reason is that the Supreme Court of India created a system of government based on exploitation and this is affecting the security and the stability of the nation.

The money from the BALCO alone would have been sufficient to prevent the starvation of the farmers and others.

The farmer’s agitation at New Delhi would not have occurred at all.

The police, on 19 April 2017, chased away the striking farmers at New Delhi. Their plight is not known. They had been under strike for more than a month.

Ten men take the public resources and keep the prime minister and judges as slaves. They cannot listen to the voice of the farmers and others because they are not trained for it.

The burden of loan repayment is killing the people. The Prime Minister could have noticed the functioning of banks in other countries because no bank in any other country extracts as much interest as in India.

 Ten people remove unlimited public money without paying any interest. They lend the money for 10 to 16 per cent interest. Whose money is this? The farmers are not aware of it.

When Prime Minister Mr.A.B. Vajpayee wanted to use public money for public investments; the court did not allow it in the name of reform. 16 years have passed. Anyone can see the effect of the reforms.

The government can solve the problem of the farmers and others in so many ways. Due to ignorance, it does not see any way.

The court can solve the problem by giving freedom to the people. But it is not ready for it.

If the public resources cannot be used for public welfare, why should the Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi continue in power with the support of 1000 million people?
