The Cost Of SP Support To Pranab

Rs. 80,000 Crore. That is what Mulayam Yadav gets for his support for Pranab Mukherjee’s presidency. That is what the Indian taxpayers are paying to fulfill Congress’ ambitions. Our article “Indian Taxpayer Is Not An ATM For Congress” alludes to what feels like a megascam. Of course Mamta Bannerjee ended up supporting Mukherjee for free. She really is a very bad politician.


But coming back to the mess in UP. Does the aam aadmi really think that the 80,00 crore is going to get spent on genuine causes in UP? Voters in UP must have thought that otherwise they would not have voted for SP. I recently read an article in Tehelka, which is a Congress mouthpiece. The article is a comprehensive report on the rotten state of UP. Gangsters of all kind are now ruling the roost. Some of these gangsters are worth hundreds of crores. You don’t know whether to laugh or to cry! When accosted on the topic, the senior police officers’ response reeked of complicity. A recent report in Indian Express claims that 28 people were allotted land in the posh Gomti Nagar area. Read the following and if a non UP voter, weep:


The 28 persons whose plot allotments in Lucknow’s Gomti Nagar have been defended by the Samajwadi Party government in the Supreme Court include Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav’s father-in-law R C S Rawat, Revenue Minister Ambika Chaudhary’s wife Saroj Chaudhary, Chief Minister’s Secretary Anita Singh, and several IAS and IPS officers.
Interestingly, Ambika Chaudhary was revenue minister and Anita Singh was special secretary to the chief minister even when the allotments were made by the Lucknow Development Authority under the previous SP government, headed by Mulayam Singh Yadav, in 2005.
The list includes some persons about whom nothing is known except their names; they were allotted plots on the recommendation of the chief minister’s secretariat. In many cases, allotments were first made in Gomti Nagar Extension and then changed to Vipul Khand, a posh locality.


This list indicates that the unholy trio of Neta-Babu-Lala is back in the saddle in UP. Of course during Mayawati rule, the trio was the same but the actors were different. So what percentage of the 80,000 crore is going to reach the UP aam aadmi? Even a child who can count up to ten can guess the answer.
