08:48 Kejriwal's minister was indicted for tampering with proof: Somnath Bharti, the law minister in Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's cabinet, was once indicted for tampering with evidence by a court in Patiala.
According to a report in the Times of India, a CBI special judge had indicted Bharti and his client Pawan Kumar after the agency accused them of trying to influence a prosecution witness.
Bharti had allegedly spoken to the prosecution witness and discussed the case.
Pawan Kumar was, ironically, being tried on corruption charges.
When Prasanna says "28 looks assured" - he does not mean the seats. He means his information or the list is 90% accurate.bhargava wrote:

None of the people recommended there are definite winners. NONE. And I really hope that 400 time loser Janardana Poojary gets the ticket from Mangalore seat. He has been kicked into the ground continuously by the BJP from 1991, and yet he keeps getting renominated. The guy must have some vampire genes in him. He has been around since the times of Muhammad bin Tughlaq. The only half decent candidate I could vote would be H M Anand from Hassan seat (the guy has some nationalist genes - he was the one who pushed for the prosecution of a bunch of BSP guys who hoisted Pakistani flag on August 15, 1991). Muddahanume Gowda may not be bad in Tumkur, though. But he will have to battle a Veerashaiva consolidation against him (Tumkur will see Veerashaivas battling Vokkaligas - both are in significant numbers, so it is a battleground seat). Jarkiholi in Belgaum is also a strong candidate, but the BJP is also very powerful in the region. So - it is going to be a hard fight. And those are the only ones on the credit side for the Congress.bhargava wrote: May be a bit over-the-top, but worrisome none the less. Gyaani log, your kaaments pleej

Raul Baba finally condescends to give a one on one interview (off camera) for the sake of his admirers !!In an exclusive interview to Dainik Bhaskar, Rahul says he entered into politics to fulfil his dreams of employment, home and security for every person of this country. The Congress scion wants to establish a system in which everyone gets opportunity according to their abilities.
He is focusing on a long-term vision where every Indian gets equal freedom, respect and opportunity. A country where there is no discrimination against girls.
In his first ever interview to any daily newspaper, Rahul Gandhi speaks to Kalpesh Yagnik, National Editor of Dainik Bhaskar Group.
Kalpesh: Would you accept the responsibilities of Prime Ministerial post?
Rahul: We are a democratic alliance and we believe in democracy. The people of this country would choose their prime minister according to their mandate in the Lok Sabha elections. In the national interest, it is necessary that Congress forms the government at the Centre; and in this direction whatever responsibilities the organisation has given me, I will discharge them with utmost sincerity and honesty.{ This is called R-Turn }
Kalpesh: It is said Congress has failed on many fronts especially when it comes ground connect with people. Congress MPs and MLAs don’t visit constituency and meet common people?
Rahul: No, it’s not like that. It is being generalised. There is no dearth of experienced leaders in Congress. Our leaders are very well connected with common people. I don’t agree that our MPs and MLAs don’t visit constituencies. In fact, we are working toward involving the youth in politics. In this direction, we have worked heavily last year and we plan to continue the exercise in future also.
Kalpesh: You say Congress will learn from Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)?
Rahul: Congress is a strong and progressive organisation which has changed the nature and role of politics in the country and we aim to continue the trend. The Aam Aadmi Party has also worked toward this direction,we are two different entities with different ideology and different style of working. I don’t agree with many of their recent decisions because our decisions should not be based on short-term gain; instead the decisions should be made while keeping long-term benefit and a secure future for the people.
India has witnessed Samrat Ashok, Akbar and Aurangzeb. Ashok is famous for integrating people; Akbar too worked in this direction and this is why people take their name with great respect. However, Aurangzeb is known for other reasons.{what reasons hain ji?}. On the same lines, Congress is working toward national integration and inclusive growth for everyone.
Kalpesh: What is your opinion on BJP’s demand for Congress-free ‘Bharat’ and rising popularity of Narendra Modi?
Rahul: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wants to form a ‘one-man centric’ (Narendra Modi) government at the Centre which is not good in the national interest. The government should not function according to the whims and fancy of a single person. The future of over 120 crore people can be safeguarded with inclusive politics only. The Congress lives in this country’s DNA. BJP’s demand of Congress-free ‘Bharat’ is a vague idea. The BJP seems to have forgotten that Congress alone is a political force which has preserved the social fabric of this country.
Kalpesh: What role will Priyanka Gandhi play in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections? Will she contest election?
Rahul: Apart from being my sister and a dear friend, Priyanka is also an active worker of the Congress. And for these reasons alone, she is helping us in making the organisation a strong and trusted political force. I don’t think she would take any other role in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Kalpesh: Don’t you think manifesto should include things which the public want?
Rahul: You haven’t asked this but I would like to emphasise on the education system of ‘Bharat’ which has potential. But we need to make it operational. Currently, it doesn’t seem to cater to the needs of over 15 crore people. In the last ten years, it was Congress’ endeavour to send as many children to schools as possible. Our next aims include educating and empowering the teachers, providing employment opportunities to unemployed. We have planned big infrastructure in this country where highways and corridors are being developed. Delhi-Mumbai corridor and Bengaluru-Chennai corridors are being developed on the same lines. We want to function in a way where every section of the society gets opportunity and benefit.
Kalpesh: Are you 100 percent sure that Congress-UPA alliance will emerge victorious in 2014 Lok Sabha elections?
Rahul: In the last ten years we have taken landmark decisions including MGNREGA, Right to Education Bill and Land Acquisition Bill. The Congress is committed to empowering people with more rights and opportunities. We gave the Right to Information, Right to Food, Right to Forest and Right to Identity – Aadhar etc. The UPA government will be known as a government that empowered the people of this country.
Like I said Congress is generally underestimated before each election including 2004 and 2009 elections. However, the results were completely different. I expect the 2014 elections to be more exciting and I believe we will emerge victorious again.
Kalpesh: It is said that you abstain from accepting responsibilities. Are you reluctant?
Rahul: In our organisation, decisions are always made by senior politicians. In the past also, such kind of decisions have been made by seniors.
Kalpesh: But I am not talking about as to who makes the decision. My question is about your being reluctant in taking responsibilities; as if power is poison. Don’t you want to be responsible?
Rahul: ‘Power is poison’ doesn’t mean that I am not ready to take responsibilities. There is no such word as ‘reluctance’ in my life. ‘Power is poison’ is an observation which means danger and risks come along with power. We should not chase power for the attributes of power. We should only use it to empower the voices.
Kalpesh: But my question is very direct. Are willing to accept the ‘responsibility’ (to become Prime Minister) or would you reluctantly say ‘yes’? I will consider. I will think over it. What do you say?
Rahul: See my family has never been ambitious or greedy about power. Not even my dad (Rajiv Gandhi) or my grandmother (Indira Gandhi). {Ahh the legend of the detached and unwilling Dienast as the benevolent ruler}
Kalpesh: No no. I am not talking about power.
Rahul: See I am an active worker of the Congress party. I will follow whatever orders the party ask me to follow. I will do whatever the Congress Party wants me to do. I am only concerned about why the entire argument comes to standstill over the issue of a ‘post’. Why is it being debated on the national level? Why don’t people debate about steps to clean politics? No one is willing to talk about how we can clean up the dirt in politics.
Kalpesh: People now want specific declaration. Direct declaration. Then why Congress is not specific?
Rahul: Congress has never been specific. I have fulfilled the task I was assigned by the Congress. In future also, I wish to continue like this.
As far as ‘power’ is concerned, I would like to mention the words by Mahatma Gandhi. He had said think of the last person when you think of power. But unfortunately, we tend to forget the last man once we are in power. {Idiot you ARE in power!!and quoting right out of first page of all NCERT text books to escape accountability }
Kalpesh: Why the Congress is diminishing? Are you happy with its performance?
Rahul: I have never claimed things are perfect within our organisation. There are some areas where we need to work hard. I have informed the party about it and we will come out with a plan.
Kalpesh: How would you ask ‘common people’ who they plan to see as their representatives?
Rahul: Congress Party is striving hard to bring real democracy in the country. We are including common people in our party and organisation. You must have seen how we have introduced our party manifesto in which even a common man can say, “Brother I want this to be included in your manifesto.”![]()
Kalpesh: What according to you is the reason that the alliance is breaking?
Rahul: It is untrue that allies are distancing themselves from Congress. We are still discussing about it. We have got allies in Jammu & Kashmir and Maharashtra. Earlier we didn’t have ally in Bihar, but this time around we may have one.
Kalpesh: If you enter into an alliance with Lalu Yadav in Bihar, you will danger your position on corruption. Why would Congress do this?
Rahul Gandhi: Party seniors are holding discussions about it. Congress’ Alliance Committee makes the decision about new allies and I respect their decisions.
Kalpesh: Your hobbies?
Rahul: I love swimming and running. I do meditation and aikido- Japanese martial art. I think physical fitness is very necessary for mental fitness. Technology also interests me. As my father (Rajiv Gandhi) was pilot, I too am a pilot with licence.

"The conduct of accused Pawan Kumar and his advocate (Bharti) is not only highly objectionable, unethical but also amounts to tampering with evidence," judge Bamba observed in her order cancelling Kumar’s bail on the ground that he misused his liberty.
As far as I know, Kumble has not shown any interest. But I am not exactly up to date on Bangalore South.abhik wrote: There was some news about Anil Kumble standing from B'lore south quite some time back. Any chances of that happening?

Let me narrate a plot outline - a perfectly djinneered psyops against BJP by Bollywood in a famous movie. Young group of idealists + 1 Hindutva vaadi Get a beating of their life (and the mother of the martyr fighter pilot protesting is beaten to coma) , yindutva vaadi guy contacts his Yindutvavaadi honcho for support but the guy ups the windows of his Amby and skedaddles off the scene, later his supporters trash the idealist yindutvavaadi for insulting their honcho.
Now the Yindutvavaadi becomes disenchanted with yindutva and the villain (the defence minister who scams in defence procurement - modeled on George Fernandez courtesy of now discredited Tehelka "sting" op Westend 5 years back) is dispatched with an assassination. Movie makers got their moolah , sikular CongIs got their propaganda beaten home into young minds , young un's got their moj maja in a blockbuster movie .
Now rewind to 2011 "someone" now djinneered a scene resembling the movie on the streets of dilli with the anti corruption protests and then the spontaneous rape protests - students were teargassed, blasted with water jets ,beaten to a pulp with batons , bones broken also in Ramlila maidan night raid on BR and sleeping sadhus... What did the dilli gang (d4) do at this moment to disprove the psyops on BJP(from the movie) in these critical moments ? Zilch, Nothing , Nada . Bjp workers were no where to be seen in action. That connivance with congis by the dilli gang in 2011 is at the root of this current disenchantment of otherwise Modi rooting college students/yuppies wrt Bhajapa.
To counter this , NaMo (who has been kept out from Delhi politics by the gang leading upto and after 2011 and came into the picture late) should now project a NEW Bhajapa unremitting and unforgiving as an opposition - always going for the jugular when ever it comes to targeting the dienasty and its minions . And backing up its promise on good governance and justice in which ever state its in power. He personally has been doing this. But If rest of Bhajapa leaders abide by these principles with conviction hither to characteristic only seen in NaMo and few state CMs, the paid media and bollywood and NGO and sikular propaganda shit thrown at Bhajapa will never stick and can be stuffed back directly into their mouths after coming to power. Moral of the Dilli story :Never sit out a fight where the dienasty is the main antagonist and always be at the front lines especially in front of those who see bhajapa as their own (like the sadhus in ramleela maidan or the kids on dilli streets). http://forums.bharat-rakshak.com/viewto ... 6#p1554226

UTV is the producer of that move and it has a history of producing such movies. Delhi 6 is another movie produced by UTV in which Hindus are the bad people after muslim blood and muslims are the innocents. Chennai Express is another stupid movie in which the hero keeps saying ad nauseam 'Don't underestimate the power of the comman man'. It was promoting the pAAP even back then. Once again, a congress tool promoting AAP.
Ronnie Screwala, founder of UTV is a Parsi. He should know his ilk came to India because they were kicked away by Muslims in their native country. Now he is fostering the same conditions in their new country that led to their exile.
I know, but RDB and Delhi 6 were made before he sold his stake. According to wiki, he is still the MD of Walt Disney, India.BhairavP wrote:He's sold his stake in UTV to Disney two years ago.hanumadu wrote:
