RajeshA-ji,
Here is the list of cases against Yediyurappa in April 2013. However, he has been acquitted in some of them. I am looking up to see which ones he has been acquitted in.

http://docs2.myneta.info/affidavits/ews ... URAPPA.pdf

See Annexure 1 for the details.

This set of cases is for sure still going on against him.

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes ... tification

I know for sure that he was acquitted in the Mining scam. I am looking for the order where he was acquitted. (Okay - looks like I was mistaken. He is still being investigated by the CBI in the mining scam case).

Yediyurappa was acquitted in the Y S V Datta case regarding the Upper Bhadra project on 10/10/2013.

nageshks ji,

thanks for your effort. I was just curious, when BJP can shoot back at their detractors that Yeddyurappa is not a corrupt man but a wronged man. I have heard that in the major cases against him, he has been exonerated.

The most important case, the supposed mining scam in which Santosh Hegde initiated inquiries against Yeddyurappa, went in favour of Yeddyurappa. He was declared innocent and the court had several nasty things to say about Santosh Hegde. But he has several other cases pending against him.

RajeshA-ji,
In my considered opinion, he was forced to turn a blind eye to several nasty doings of the Reddies and the Sreeramulus, to ensure the survival of his government. There is a bitter irony that the ones who foisted the Reddies on him (the D4) were calling for his head later on.

The death of YSR removed the protection from the Reddies in Andhra, and as a consequence, a lot of bad press attended the Reddies. But this illegal mining has been going on in the south since 1997. Every chief minister in Karnataka, Andhra, Goa and even TN is guilty of at least looking the other way. And people from every party (Reddies, Sreeramulu, Anand Singh from BJP, the Lad brothers, D K Shivakumar from Congress, G Shekhar from JD(S)) in Karnataka indulged in it. There was too much money in exporting red earth.

Kiran Bedi Backs Narendra Modi and a day later Anna Hazare backs her

MUMBAI/NEW DELHI: Anna Hazare has given his blessings to key aide Kiran Bedi to contest elections if she wanted, in what appears to be support for her attack on Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal ahead of Lok Sabha polls.

Bedi slammed Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for offering Congress what she said was a backdoor route to power. Bedi, however, insisted that she was not seeking a ticket from any party, a day after she endorsed BJP's Narendra Modi as Prime Minister. AAP has formed the Delhi state government with the support of the Congress.

Meanwhile, Hazare's secretary told ET that some BJP leaders from Delhi had been speaking to the anticorruption campaigner in the last few days over the phone seeking support for the saffron party.

"Anna says that he will not openly support any party or campaign for anybody but if the team members whom Arvind has left out want to participate in elections, they are free to do that. Kiran spoke with Anna about her wanting to contest.

Anna said he has no problem with that," Hazare's secretary told ET on Friday.

"Anna is very angry and upset with Arvind Kejriwal. Anna says he will not talk to Arvind even if he comes to meet him. Anna discussed this with Kiran Bedi and others when Bedi was in Ralegan last month," he said.

Another aide said the passage of the Lokpal bill was the biggest victory for Hazare and his team and now members were free to contest elections.

But Team Anna is apparently disappointed with Kejriwal and AAP. Bedi said AAP would allow Congress, the target of the anti-corruption campaign, to return to power through the backdoor. She denied any political aspirations.

"I have no plans of joining any party. I am not seeking a ticket from any party. I am not electorally or politically inclined. I am an independent voice," she told ET when asked if she had any plans of contesting the Lok Sabha elections on a BJP ticket.

About her backing Modi, she said, "Between the two national parties, whom do we choose? Unless we are looking for a hung parliament, you need one of the two main parties for stability and the Congress has to be voted out... As a voter... I want to see development, prosperity and growth.... There has to be stability with administrative experience and Modi has that."

Her remarks on Thursday that Modi can provide a stable, accountable and inclusive government had set off speculation about her joining the BJP. Party leader Subramanian Swamy tweeted that the BJP should invite Bedi and former army chief VK Singh to join the party. However, BJP spokespersons said there was no such move in the party yet.

The BJP, meanwhile, is planning to strengthen its door-to-door campaign to reach out to people in the run-up to the general election. Party leader Arun Jaitley wrote on his Facebook page that the challenge before the BJP is to consolidate its gains and that its candidates and organizational structure should inspire confidence through their "credibility".

Looks like Kiran Bedi and General VK Singh would indeed be standing for elections from BJP.

From Team Anna, Medha Patekar is moving to AAP. Santosh Hegde has no place in BJP.

Even though Anna may not be campaigning for BJP, it is clear his "Aashirwaad" would be with BJP.

Thanks for explaining.

Problem as I see it, is that Team Anna that is moving to BJP becomes somewhat ineffectual against AAP, because AAP and Congress retort back that BJP is just like Congress - corrupt.

Team Anna should go with a big hammer at AAP. I would say, Team Anna's argument should be: those on foreign dole need not be directly corrupt.

I think the best thing that the BJP can do is to show that they are not fielding any candidate with criminal charges. And AAP has fielded criminal candidates even in Delhi elections. Rajat Sharma, I think, showed evidence that people involved in oil mafia were contesting AAP symbol. Khujliwala shrugged it off saying that his political opponents had made that charge.

Why is no one raising Binayak Sen's position in AAP? This is a Maoist, convicted by an Indian court!

All three can be turned round by the BJP with some focus and some heavy artillery. Maharashtra is the easiest. Focus on MNS and get them into the Mahayuti and see the Congoons wilt. AAP will backfire on them enormously, if this happens.

For Haryana and Delhi, some heavy lifting will have to be done by V K Singh and Kiran Bedi respectively. But both can be turned round by the BJP.

Revolutionary cadres get massive relief from El Lider Maximo, Hazrat Kejribal. Don't pay electricity bills, tells Hazrat. State will pay them. Don't you love being a tax payer in Delhi?

http://indianexpress.com/article/india/ ... e-illegal/

What is the difference between Hazrat Kejribal and Deve Gowda? For the uninitiated, let me recount a small story.

There was a perpetual shortage of water in one part of Hassan (Deve Gowda's constituency). People from a bunch of villages went and broke a major canal, so that water would flood into their lakes and ponds. Deve Gowda, who was the CM then, announced that since people had made use of what was meant for the people, no action should be taken against the errant villagers

The support for AAP is based on the belief/hope that AK and his gang are idealists with good intentions. But they are coming across more as opportunists than idealists. They are pandering to all sorts of people: freeloaders, islamists, aam admis and even nationalists -- their usage of Indian flag etc. is also opportunistic in nature and not out of true sentiments.

People said :
"There should've been better Management"
"He should've setup MLA durbars at each constituency first. Then only things should come to CM's darbaar"
2-3 Ministers of AAP are still there but many people are adamant of taking their issues up with Kejri only.

10. 40 am: Kejriwal leaves Janta Darbar midway Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has reportedly left the Janata Darbar midway due to huge crowd and chaos. However, other ministers continue to meet people. Being pushed by the crowd, some people have also decided to leave the venue without any hope of meeting the Delhi Cabinet at Janata Darbar.

10.00 am: People break barricades at Janata Darbar The largest crowd is at the table where Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is sitting. There has been a swell in the number of people and the road is jam packed with people coming in with banners, posters and shouting slogans. There is complete chaos at Janata Darbar. Some people have broken barricades in their eagerness to meet the CM and ministers.

good intentioned folks are in team Anna. Kiran Bedi, VK Singh & Anna Hazare. AAP is just fly-by-night operators who are incidentally getting massive media publicity.

National channels promoting AAP stunts full-time from morning-night when same things such as Kejriwal's Janta Darbar's are also being done by Chief Ministers in other states and nary a squeak even from regional media. Media always goes the way shown by it's paymasters.

What's with these durbars and the SDRE mindset?

Durbars are from the Monarchy where the Monarch or his/her representative met the Monarchy's subjects listened to pleas and dispensed favours to people.

In Pune, the late Shri Wanjale held packed durbars. People loved him. I believe the SS and its off shoots (I have stopped keeping track) still do.

Durbar = sarkar mai bap = Monarch.

make your case and plead "Hamara jhola bhar do mai bap" Raj Kapoor would be proud of all this melodrama.

There used to be the Diwan-e-Aam and Diwan-e-Khas. In addition to the "Jan" Durbar" is there also a "Raj" Durbar for the Khas?

In a democracy, there is no substitute for institutionalised good governance which is lacking in Delhi and generally in India.

It's a feudal mindset all around from the Mango aadmi to the person on the throne with the red unwashed stained seat cover with a bow at the back.

Shri AK's time would be better spent chasing the corrupt from all political parties as he claimed AAP would do instead of all this tamasha.

The INC at least had an institutionalised governance structure - they structurally corrupted all institutions. This guy's mode of governance is a total joke and our smart mature voters elected him and his party? It's a democracy so it's the will of the people so it has to be OK.

It is nothing about Monarchy or SDRE, it is plain and simple failure of delivery mechanisms aka governance. Instead of going to the local thug, sajjan prefer going to Mai Baap sarkaari authority. Cheaper and less risky.

The equivalent to IT-Vity would be a project which is always on fire, requiring the top guy to sit during testing sessions (every time). The Durbaar can be a good tool, as a deterrence for officials to perform but not as a regular channel where thousands/lakhs need to come.

I think it is a well thought out strategy by NaMo team to attack Kejriwal through Kiran Bedi. NaMo does not have to give him limelight and at the same time another crusader against corruption is talking against AAP. This is brilliant as it creates confusion among yuppies and asks right questions in their mind about AAP.

Mr Kejriwal, stop Janata Darbar in Delhi, this isn’t Mughal era

Does Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal consider himself an avatar of Mughal emperor Jahangir? Though he doesn’t reside in the Agra Fort or likes to be called Jahanpanah, his antic of holding a darbar- e-aam seems inspired by the Mughal Sultanate.
;;
Kejriwal’s attempt to hold a darbar on the roads of Delhi could have easily passed off as a spectacle from the Mughal era except that the chaos, screaming, shouting and mismanagement would have made even Jahangir hang his head in shame. But Kejriwal should stop the spectacle. This isn’t medieval India. India is no longer run by Badshahs or Shenshahs. Atavistic ideas from history have no place in a modern democracy like ours.
;;
Frankly, what is it that Kejriwal is trying to achieve except some publicity and TV time? It would be insane to believe that he would be able to solve every petitioner’s problem just by personally hearing him.

A bright new idea to Kejriwal/AAP to consider

Lets TTD (Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam) people to manage the crowds.

Kejriwal should build in Delhi Tirupati-Tirumala like shelters for
crowds to come on the previous day evening to wait in the queue. He can
provide employment to Tea/Coffee/snacks vendors. He can even price the
queues at different prices (suitiing aam aadmi pockets, say Rs.5, Rs.10
and Rs.25). He can even give one laddu to each applicant when he/she
comes out after metting the CM/Minister just the way they do it in
Tirumala-Tirupati
