Letter to Mr Mukesh Ambani

Dear Mr Mukesh Ambani, You have recently sent a defamation notice to a number of TV channels. Their "crime" is that they aired the press conference held on the 31st October 2012 and 9th November 2012, by Prashant Bhushan and me, live. In our press conference, we presented before the country how you had illegally pressurized the government into increasing gas prices. We also told the country that your associates and your companies have accounts in Swiss banks where black money had been stashed away. Many TV channels aired our expose live. All these TV channels have now received defamation notices from you.

I find it quite perplexing. If you felt that you have been defamed by what Prashant Bhushan and I said, then we are the real culprits and, if you had to send a defamation notice, it should have been to us. The TV channels merely broadcast what we said. Despite this, instead of sending us the defamation notice, you have sent it to the TV channels. It is evident that your sole purpose of sending this notice was to steamroll the TV channels into subservience.

The people of India want to ask you some straight questions:

Is it not true that the list of those who have accounts in Swiss Banks, as received by the Government of India, includes your name and the names of your relatives, your friends and your companies?

Is it not true that a balance of Rs. 100 crores is shown against your name in this list?

Is it not true that you have paid the tax on this amount after this list was received by the Government?

If the above is true, as we suspect it is, it proves that you have admitted your guilt. As per the law of the land, you should be tried and, if the charge of tax evasion is proved, you should be sent to jail.

However, this would never happen. Why? Because the Government of India is intimidated by you. You have been reported as saying that the Congress Party has been bought by you - it is your dukaan, to be precise. You are right. according to some media reports, Mrs. Sonia Gandhi sometimes travels by your personal aircraft. People believe that Mr. Jaipal Reddy's ministry was also changed because of your influence.

Why only the Congress? Even BJP and many other parties are in your pocket. Earlier, Mr. Advani used to make a lot of noise about Swiss Bank accounts, but since your accounts have been exposed, BJP has suddenly gone quiet. BJP has not mentioned a single word in the Parliament about your accounts.

It appears that almost all parties are afraid of you. Most leaders are scared of you, too. However, the citizens of this country are not scared of you. All parties could be your dukaan but India is not up for sale. India is ours, it belongs to the people of this country. You can purchase political parties and political leaders with your money but we will not let India be sold.

You say that the TV channels have tainted your reputation by airing our press conference live. That's wrong. I would urge you to answer this question honestly - Did Prashant Bhushan, myself and the TV Channels defame you or did you defame yourself through your own misdeeds?

1. In 2002, you gave 1 Crore shares with a market price of Rs. 55 per share to Mr. Pramod Mahajan at just Rs. 1 per share. This was a straight bribe to get "Full Mobility". When you were caught, you took back the shares. Presently, the matter is In court. Didn't you defame yourself by doing this?

2. You have made your multistoreyed residence on Wakf land. This land had been set aside for an orphanage. You have stolen the right of poor and orphaned Muslim children. Didn't you defame yourself by doing this?

3. A few gas wells belonging to the Country were allotted to you in 2000. You were supposed to extract gas and give it to the government. The gas belongs to us, the people of India. We are the owners of this gas. You were only a contractor appointed to extract the gas. However, cleverly you became the owner of the gas. You started "selling" the gas to the government. Because the Congress is in your pocket, it always bowed before your bullying. The Congress kept increasing the price of gas under your pressure and the nation kept wailing. Because of you, the prices of electricity, fertilizer and cooking gas kept rising. When it crossed all limits, Mr. Jaipal Reddy opposed you. He was the Minister for Oil and Gas at that time. You got Mr. Jaipal Reddy transferred. Because of you many things have become increasingly expensive in India and the people are groaning under the load of these high prices. Do these shenanigans suit you? Do such acts not defame you?

The list of such illegal acts done by you is quite long.

The majority of the traders, businessmen and industrialists want to do their work honestly. But the system forces them into wrongdoings. But when a businessman like you brazenly subverts the system for his personal benefit, the entire industry and business world gets a bad name.

You are on one side with immense wealth. On the other side are the people of this country. The people have now awakened. Fire is raging in their heart. History is witness that whenever there has been a clash between money and such rage, the rage has won.

Kindly do not try to intimidate the media of this country. There may be some mediamen who may have done wrong things themselves. Such media-persons may succumb to your pressure. However, the majority of media persons keep the interest of the Country at heart even today. They are not going to capitulate so easily. History is witness that whenever the judiciary, bureaucracy and legislature crumbled, it is the honest fourth pillar, comprising such media-persons that kept democracy alive.

You have invested in some media houses directly or indirectly. It is possible that these media houses do your bidding. However, the journalists working for such media houses will not barter their integrity so easily.

What is your dream? Do you want to become the world's richest person through dishonesty? Suppose you became the owner of all the wealth in this country. Would that make you happy? Happiness does not increase by accumulating more and more wealth. Happiness comes with sacrifice. If you stopped doing business dishonestly and contributed your wealth for the development of the nation, this country will remember you with pride forever.

With regards,

Arvind Kejriwal

Ok, lets just discuss AAP

It was but obvious that he was not going to last considering he didn't win the House Majority. So why did he took the big job ? He was in a Catch-22 , he had Cong on tv saying that they will support him unconditionally while BJP continued egging him to take the big step. Also the think tanks at AAP would have realized that having govt at Delhi would give them plenty of opportunity for media facetime and announcing popular decisions would win them more public.

It was but obvious the days of AAP were numbered , with Binny totally sold out and threatening even before the govt proved its majority in Parliament.

He concentrated on 2 very popular measures and anti corruption helpline. Whatever we might think of it, it has won him a substantial vote bank in Delhi ( Cong pockets specially).

The Dharna did set him back among his core voters but I feel in the bigger picture the party has not lost that base completely.

Anarchy ceases to be label now, when the Parliament of India saw pepper spray and all the knife drama.

Binny and few other independent MLA's were asking him to introduce the Jan LokPal bill immediately or else they would withdrew support. Ironically that bill would not have meant Cong support and ultimately dissolving the assembly.

Though there is legal ambiguity for the right procedure of introducing the bill in assembly , I find it hilarious when I see BJP and Cong protesting the procedure , as in 2002 Sheila opposed centre's right for verifying the delhi bills when NDA was in power.

This was the only way which provided AK an opportunity for getting out of this minority mess with some integrity.

Now on governance - lets be fair and see what other states have done during the same time period. It is too early to form an opinion on it.

I feel he might just get back Delhi with majority as there is lack of strong leader in both Cong and BJP at this moment.

He would get around 12-20 seats at LS which would make him an interesting player for long term politics.

BJP would not be affected much , their vote bank is not breached by him yet, but Cong will severely affected. Notice how Modi is always soft on AK , he knows AK is a small fish when compared to Mamta and Maya.

I won't write off AAP at the state election for Delhi and on LS - will never overhype them, it remains a Modi show through and through.

^^Binny was a Congress agent through and through, it was clear from the moment he joined AAP and started throwing hissy fits about not becoming MLA. He's presently busy letting people know how Kejriwal and Co. had never intended to pass the Bill and that the resignation was planned sixty days ago; the circus gets funnier by the second. 😆

yeah, he sure did a lot in these 49 days. Like bad-mouth bureaucrats and everyone to the point that they will be even more scared taking any decisions, lest a Kejriwal comes along and accuses them of wrong-doing. He paralyzed governance, that's what he did! Given more time, he could have taken delhi back further back to the road-side ways...No one would have ever effed up because they would wait for orders from the top to cover their sorry asses. That's what happens when you create the kind of witch-hunt culture he did!

at best this guy would deserve to be a quality check watchdog in an organization, not the guy you would want running your organization. He is clueless about finances, about "executing". I cant imagine him ever being able to get metro projects, hospitals, schools built. His focus and his interest and his capabilities, if any, lie totally elsewhere, in just pointing out all the things that are wrong, but no workable solutions for any of it!.

we can all agree that corruption is a problem. But so is employment and value-add jobs. When you are starving and poor, what you want are jobs and supply-side economics that reduce inflation. Corruption is at worst an irritant and something that costs maybe half a point of GDP a year. But what gets you through life are jobs and a pay-check! Push comes to shove, what would YOU have? A corruption-free experience or a job?

there's also a very blurry line between corrupt and non-corrupt. Even in the US, there is "corruption" of sorts. Every capitalist economy suffers from that. You don't get growth without providing profit incentives to companies and people. The rockefellers and the warburgs were also corrupt in that sense. They lobbied and they swung projects around to themselves, and they often lied and used favors to do that!

now like chickens with our heads cut off, we have managed to make corruption our problem number 1. Again, my apologies, but it's growth, it's poverty, its jobs for the millions of youth. If they don't move up the food chain quickly enough with rapid economic growth for the next few years, they will be consigned to low living standards for generations. Our demographic dividend would have gone up in smoke. All that potential wealth gone to zero, far more than all the scams added together could have cost us. Bottom-line, we cant afford for him to be running any government for even the slightest time! He could be tolerated as an anti-corruption crusader, but he is totally unfit for the kind of roles he is now aspiring for. if he was a true desh-bhakt, he would not try things he is incapable of, given that he is such a loose cannon. He would know he would be an unmitigated disaster for our country!

for a primer on india's budget spending, read the article below in TOI. It highlights what has happened under the UPA and should indicate what will happen if AAP pursues the populist policies it did in Delhi. We have frittered away the opportunity to lift future growth potential through investments in education, healthcare and infrastructure. Instead, we spent our limited resources on food and fuel subsidies. What happens next year when we have more mouths to feed and more cars on the road, and little extra production to meet that growing need? The huge demographic dividend will turn into a huge demographic time bomb! It's really criminal how seemingly educated people can talk populist nonsense without having the slightest clue about creating productive economies... They are the modern stalin-era demagogue,!
