The anti-corruption wing of the Delhi Government had filed an FIR against Mukesh Ambani in the KG Basin Gas pricing scam. The allegation was that a group of UPA ministers had rigged the gas pricing to excessively favour Mukesh Ambani. In 2000, under the NDA regime, Mukesh Ambani was given a few gas fields to mine natural gas. The mandate was that for the next 17 years, Mr Ambani would give gas to the government at $2.3per-unit.
But over a period of time, through sustained pressure on the government, Mr Ambani raised the price of natural gas to more than $4 per unit. The allegation against Mr. Ambani is that the actual cost of mining the natural gas from these mines is less than $1. This means that the central govt. is giving Mukesh Ambani $4 for gas thats cheaper than a dollar!
But the real travesty is that now the central government has decided to give from Apr 1 $8 per unit for the same gas that costs less than $1 to produce. It is estimated that this decision will result in a windfall gain of Rs 54,000 cr for Mukesh Ambani! The entire budget of the Delhi government is Rs 40,000 cr. This means that the government is giving illicit benefits to Mr Ambani much more than the budget of NCT of Delhi. And all this money will go out of the pockets of the Aam Aadmi. But why?
From Apr 1, there will be chaos in this country. The price of CNG will shoot up dramatically. Transportation costs will increase throughout the country. The KG basin gas is used to produce electricity in our country. So this price rise will raise the price of electricity in the country. This gas is also used in manufacturing fertilizer. That means food costs will also escalate because of the gas price rise. You can very well imagine how the price rise will affect the Aam Aadmi.
Modiji, till now why are you and Rahulji silent on this issue? The Aam Aadmi wants to know that if you come to power will you charge Mukesh Ambani $8 or $4 per unit for natural gas.
When the Aam Aadmis anti-corruption cell filed an FIR against Mukesh Ambani, senior leaders from both BJP and the Congress opposed it tooth and nail. Do both the parties have such cosy relations with Mr. Ambani?
Shri Parimal Nathwani is the group president of the Mukesh Ambani group of companies. With your help Modiji, he has now become a member of the Rajya Sabha. This has cast a doubt in the minds of the common man about the nature of the relationship between Mr. Ambani and you and your party!
Both you and Rahulji use private helicopters and planes to travel both within and outside the country. Modiji, who owns these air carriers? As per newspaper reports, you travel in Mukesh Ambanis jets quite publicly. People say that even Rahul Gandhi uses Ambanis planes. Do you get these plane rides for free or do you pay for it? The Aam Aadmi sees that you spend crores on your rallies. Some believe that even your rallies are being funded by Mr Ambani. Is this true?
In the Nira Radia tapes, Mukesh Ambani was heard saying that Congress party is his personal shop. People say that the government selects central ministers and decides key postings of senior bureaucrats in consultation with Mukesh Ambani. The public feels that the UPA government is in effect being run by Mr. Ambani.
Now if Mr Ambani is propping you as well, then this will be a big betrayal for the common man. If somehow you become the PM of India, will it mean that your government will also be run by Ambaniji? You repeatedly say in your speeches that you will get back the black money from Swiss banks. But the Ambani brothers themselves have horded black money in Swiss accounts. The bank account numbers are 5090160983, 5090160984. Now Modiji if you have such close relations with Mukesh Ambani and if he is funding your elections then how will you be able to get the black money back from Swiss banks. Therefore its my humble request that you please break your silence and answer the following questions
1. If your government comes to power will you buy natural gas from Mukesh Ambani at $4 or $8?
2. What is the exact nature of relationship between Mukesh Ambani and you and your party?
3. What is the total cost of your election publicity and who is funding this?
As this letter contains questions that impact the future of the common man, I am making this letter public. You may decide not to reply to me directly. But if you can respond to the questions and the content of this letter at a public forum then the Aam Aadmis doubts will be dispelled. - Arvind Kejriwal
Arvind Kejriwal We have overthrown the British Rule. Now we will overthrow Ambani Rule! For the first time in this country, anybody has openly challenged Mukesh Ambani. In his 49 day old government, Arvind Kejriwal launched an FIR against Mukesh Ambani and the corrupt ministers of the UPA. Till date has anybody in this country had the audacity to point fingers at Mukesh Ambani?
One section of the media has been crying itself hoarse that Modiji is the face of development in this country. That he has eradicated corruption in Gujarat. That Ram Rajya has been ushered in the state of Gujarat and all the people of Gujarat are happy and prosperous. The common man of Gujarat, however, says clearly that this unbridled development story is a white lie propagated by a section of the media. The farmer in Gujarat is shedding tears of blood. His land is being usurped at throw-away prices and being gifted to big industrialists like Adani and Ambani. And many farmers have not even received this paltry compensation. The ones who did receive compensation have received at abysmally lower rates than the market value. For example if the market value was Rs 50lac an acre, they have received a mere Rs 1 lac an acre! The farmer used to get subsidy on many items in the past. Many of the subsidies have been stopped in Gujarat. He is not getting adequate price for his produce in the market. In the past 10 years, about 800 farmers have committed suicide in Gujarat. All around, there is rampant corruption in Gujarat. One has to pay a bribe of Rs 5000 to get a house constructed under Indira Awas Yojna. To get anything done from the government department - be it a driving license, an industrial license, layout plan approval, getting a BPL card or complaints at the police station - one has to pay a bribe!
In comparison, the AAM Aadmi party government in Delhi, in a mere 49 days had curtailed corruption to a large extent. The police had stopped taking bribes, the touts at the transport offices had fled away, medicines supplies had been restored at government hospitals and many more such changes had occurred at the ground level. The endemic corruption that Modi has been unable to curtail in the past 11 years, Arvind Kejriwal managed to stem it in 49 days!
Then why is the media labeling Modi as the development man of India? Modis policies have benefited both Adani and Ambani by thousands of crores. Now these industrialists have bought many media houses. And these media houses have been directed to paint a very rosy picture of Modi and in contrast paint a bleak, black picture of Arvind Kejriwal. Only the Aam Aadmi Party can rid the country of corruption and price rise The Aam Aadmi party in its 49 days of rule in Delhi gave a lot of relief from corruption and price rise.
1. Halved the electricity rate for people of low income groups and people below the poverty line. 2. Gave 650 litres of free water to the poor and the middle class 3. According to a survey done by Times of India, there was a massive fall in the corruption levels in Delhi a. Sharp decline in the corrupt ways of the police b. Decline in the number of touts at the transport department who would fleece the common man while securing a license c. Medicines were available across the counter at government hospitals 4. An SIT was instituted for the 1984 Sikh riots
5. A special women protection cell was planned to be constituted - a committee was formed to make the framework for this cell. 6. People working as contract labourers to be made permanent. Again a committee was constituted to evolve a framework for the same. 7. The end of VIP culture. No red beacons on cars, big bungalows and special security to politicians and bureaucrats! 8. A CAG audit was ordered to probe into the massive irregularities in the functioning of the private power distribution companies. 9. No to FDI investment in the retail sector. 10. The ministers in the Aam Aadmi Party would go on a night vigil every day to take stock of ground realities. We now have to rally against corruption and price rise
