Enemies of state

Gali Janardhan Reddy the infamous marauder of mines has exploited bureaucrats and politicians to run his illegal mining empire. He has now extended his baneful influence towards the judiciary; he is accused of bribing a judge to get his bail. The “bail deal” apparently is 60 crores. It is now an allegation but nothing to be surprised if it turns out to be a fact. The happenings in the state are a reflection of the worst kind of corruption that has ever happened in independent India.

The revelations that are coming out due to the arrest of Gali, Jagan Mohan Reddy, B.P. Acharya, Nimmagadda Prasad and others will shock the hell out of the common man. People in power have played with and around the laws to rob the state and citizen out of its wealth. To name a few Obulapuram, Emmar, Vanpic, Ramky, Brahmani steels scams run into deals worth thousands of crores. It used be said that YSR ran the state with an iron hand and every one had to fall in line to his diktats, the unraveling has started, the underhand dealings are coming out in the open.

Jagan Mohan Reddy has for over a year de-stabilized the state politics with his aggressive people contact program “Odarpu Yatra”, his message was that the government is anti-people and his represents people aspirations. It turns out that it is all about himself. There have been suspicions all through about he becoming an billionaire overnight, the pieces are falling in place now on how he made money, quid pro quo, intangible benefits etc. Suresh Kalmadi and others are smaller cheats before Jagan and team. This team has unbounded desire to be in power and rob the state and its people.

Brahmani steels, Vanpic and Lepakshi knowledge hub and many other SEZ allocations turn out to be land grabbing exercises than for any economic activities. The poor and vulnerable have been thrown out in the garb of setting industries which never materialized. The noose has tightened and hopefully the culprits will be brought to justice.

While we talk about the state there seems to be a bigger scam taking shape at the center “coal gate”. The Prime Minister can be investigated in this. He is Mr. Clean and a man of great integrity, all of us will vouch for that but sir the country is slipping into a laissez-faire democracy under your watchful eyes. All the major scams are happening in congress ruled states.

Dark clouds are looming on our economic horizon, the ongoing economic scams have a big role to play in the slowing down of foreign investments.
