csmart 472 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 the letter written by editor of Times of India. initially he highlights Mumbai, but then its valid for entire country. must read for every Indian... my friend forwarded it to me. Prakash Bajaj, Editor of Times of India . LETTER OF THE EDITOR OF "THE TIMES OF INDIA " TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA I am born and brought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me, corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar . Look at all the politicians, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief ministers I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi , so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fishermen, so they can build concrete houses right on sea shore. Next time terrorists can comfortably live in those houses, enjoy the beauty of the sea and then attack our Mumbai at their will. Recently, I had to purchase a house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligent agency & CBI, you and your finance ministers are not aware of it. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld isn't it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything. If this has been a land of fools, idiots, then I would not have ever cared to write to you this letter. Just see the tragedy. On one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent; and on the other side, you politicians have converted nectar into deadly poison.I am everything Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Schedule caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Schedule caste, and Creamy Schedule caste; only what I am not is INDIAN. You politicians have raped every part of Mother India by your policy of divide and rule. Take example of our Former President Abdul Kalam. Such an intelligent person; such a fine human being. But you politician didn't even spare him and instead choose a worthless lady who had corruption charges and insignificant local polititian of Jalgaon WHO'S NAME ENTIRE COUNTRY HAD NOT HEARD BEFORE. Its simple logic your party just wanted a rubber stamp in the name of president. Imagine SHE IS SUPREME COMMANDAR OF INDIA 'S THREE DEFENCE FORCES. what moral you will expect from our defence forces ? Your party along with opposition joined hands, because politicians feel they are supreme and there is no place for good person. Dear Mr Prime minister, you are one of the most intelligent persons, a most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost, expose all selfish politicians. Ask Swiss banks to give names of all Indian account holders. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolves among us. There will be political upheaval, but that will be better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambience where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of. Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person, or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people? ~Prakash B. Bajaj Editor Mumbai-Times of India Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raccoon 53 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Guys like these are and will keep this country away ,from total Chaos of corruption. "Total chaos of corruption" is ALREADY here!! Letters like this, while they highlight the current state of things well, are not going to change anything. Quite insignificant in the scheme of things. Btw, one more scam (ISRO spectrum deal) waiting to be served. Hot, freshly baked and yummy, right from the Sardar's oven. Stay tuned and enjoy the "total chaos of corruption".

kesav 127 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) ISRO spectrum deal is quite old and covered in our forum. It's given life now by opposition to spend their time with chicks in capital instead of attending parliament. This is just the half, the complete content is here http://www.moneycontrol.com/india/messageboardblog/message_thread/2767499/4415516 This letter is quite old. Why has it been taken up now?? May be due to black money issue. Anyway, other than the presidential candidate issue, rest are all Maharastra specific issues. I completely agree with the view of the author on presidential candidate. Rest of the article, I'm not qualified to comment upon when so many Maharashtra members are in the forum. With due respect to the author, I never trust the articles from the media since they cry when their TRP or circulation is falling and laugh with photos of poor. Their articles are like wolves crying for goats getting drenched in rain. You already have two such wolves(Vir Sanghvi & Bharka Dutta) manning the media. :rofl_200: :rofl_200: When such celebrated journalists itself were such an immoral opportunists, I feel media scam is a sleeping volcano waiting for eruption. They never take any meaningful issue to general public instead they're obsessed with politics and business since they are who decide what needs to be published/broad-casted for what amount. Unless otherwise, we remove advertisement revenue for news media, and also remove opportunistic wolves there's no way we'll ever be served with meaningful news(I mean truth).

Haven't had the time to go into it, but its all over the news today. Anyway, if not this one, how long before the next scam is anybody's guess. After all, this govt. is greatest scam specialist.
