New Units for Indian Money - Raja, Radia, Kalmadi !!!
In addition to our vocabulary of peti, khokhas, which is a little outdated now, there is a silver lining to the scams
The large amounts mentioned in the scams have given me an idea - new words to refer to large numbers - such as
Rs 1,00,000 crores = Rs 1 Raja
Rs. 10,000 crores = Rs 1 Radia
Rs 1,000 crores = Rs 1 Kalmadi
It will be easier to converse and comprehend large numbers. A few examples:
Anil Bhai’s home in Pali Hill will cost Rs 4.5 Kalmadi
ONGC’s annual output is Rs 1.2 Raja
India’s loss in G2/G3 scam is about Rs 1.7 Raja
India’s total annual subsidy on Kerosene is Rs 2 Radias
Poor Pramod Mahajan left behind only Rs 1.4 Kalmadi
Three cheers for Raja, Radia and Kalmadi.
The tragedy is that we have no choice. All the political parties have the same brand of corrupt politicians. They howl when in opposition but are worse once in power.
At last the press has shown courage. Please read it and pass it on. This is a damning verdict on the Congress government.
LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER BY PRAKASH BAJAJ (EDITOR TOI)
This is "food for thought" for every Indian...
Must Read ! Very Powerfully Worded. Bravo - Prakash Bajaj, Editor of Times of India.
LETTER OF THE EDITOR OF "THE TIMES OF INDIA" TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA
Dear Mr. Prime minister,
I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mice. Mouse at least squeaks, but we don't even do that.
Today I heard your speech, in which you said, 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years have passed since serial bomb blasts in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our Bollywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king keep meeting him, but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him, everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on these unfortunate people of India.
Enough is enough. As such, after seeing terrorist attack carried out by about a dozen young boys, I realize that if same thing continues, days are not far away when terrorists will attack by air, destroy our nuclear reactors and there will be one more Hiroshima.
We the people are left with only one mantra. Womb to Bomb to Tomb. You promised Mumbaikar Shanghai; what you have given us is Jalianwala Baug.
Today only your home minister resigned. What took you so long to kick out this joker? Only reason was that he was loyal to Gandhi family. Loyalty to Gandhi family is more important than blood of innocent people, isn't it?
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?

Though Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson UPA, Manmohan Singh, PM of India and other prominent advocates of ruling party have been promising since long to make existing laws more and more effective and strict so that corrupt officers and corrupt politicians are punished in the shortest possible period, their actions shows that ruling party is actually meant for corrupt politicians, corrupt businessmen and corrupt officers in the administration..
Present government is made for corrupt politicians and by corrupt politicians. They have awarded EX CM of Maharashtra through his elevation as cabinet minister who is one of the main accused in Adarsh Society apartment case. Their advocate MP Kapil Sibal has blamed honest CAG for giving improper reporting on assessment of loss to government in 2G spectrum case. They have not yet removed CVC despite remarks by Supreme Court on appointment of a tainted CVC. Government has failed to punish corrupt bank officials who have caused loss of image in bribe led lending case exposed in the recent past. Government has failed to punish corrupt officials involved in CWG scam. Government is concealing the name of persons who are account holders and depositors of huge black money in foreign banks .And so on …
In each and every serious case of mass concern , either related to corruption or related to inactive CBI or related to murder or rape case pertaining to high profile person ,it is only high Court and Supreme Court judges who take the initiative to instruct the government to do this or to do that. Manmohan Singh is dancing as puppet either as per wishes of Sonia Gandhi or as per orders of Supreme Court or keeping mum on the issues which are related to corruption charges leveled against minster and MPs of the ruling party or on issues related to price rise or terrorism.
Ruling party had promised in the past to bring about appropriate judicial reform through necessary amendment in the Laws but failed to do anything in this regard. People of India had many expectations from clean image and great economist PM Mr. Mamohan Singh, but it is painful that their all dreams are still unfulfilled and there is no hope of achievement of dreamt goal under his tenure in future also.
Rather policies of liberalization, privatization, globalization under the umbrella of reformation launched in 1991 have proved a curse for common men and a boon for rich class people in the country.PM is talking of GDP growth contributed by a few lacs of rich people and ignoring the pain of one billion people of India who are unable to afford even simple “Roti, Kapra aur Makan”. Even Simple meal, simple living place simple cloth, primary health care, primary quality education and plain justice for respectful living have gone beyond the reach of common men but our learned and economist PM fill proud of so called GDP growth and talk of India’s growth story every time he comes on the stage or dais either in India or in foreign country..
So called Growth Story narrated by PM is really a curse for common men who voted him to power. It is pity that common men can neither recall corrupt MP or ineffective PM nor can punish for their bad works through court of law.
Common men paid for pseudo secularism for five years during UPA one rule and they are paying for pseudo secularism and they will continue to pay for pseudo secularism under UPA second. Congress Party if fact is the greatest communal minded political party and hence to conceal own guild they continue to blame BJP just as a thief after committing crime of stealing cries loudly “chor, chor chor”. Similarly whenever people of India or media men accuse the ruling party of perpetrator of corruption or responsible for price rise or terrorism or naxalism, advocates of congress party like Kapil Sibal or Digvijay Singh or ManishTiwari or M Singhwi will talk of secularism and initiate blame game with BJP in usual style.
