Mining Mess: Open letter to Manmohan Singh

It is ironic that while iron ore worth Rs 100 crores is being pilfered and looted by private interests each day in a cosy crony capitalistic relationship, NMDC is looking for fresh investment for iron ore in Australia!

Add to that the proposed allotment of iron ore to private barons worth trillion of dollars for petty royalty and not to NMDC, the tragedy of a poor nation suffering at the hands of corrupt politicians is complete.

Naxal issue: Open letter to P Chidambaram

This is in response to your repeated taunts on NDTV that the civil society must respond to the wanton killing by the Naxals. It appears that the interview was tailor-made for getting the consent of the Cabinet for more firepower and airpower to combat the Maoists.

The diabolic support of Arun Jaitly, be it by describing you an injured martyr, was designed to achieve his ambition through the support of the mining barons of the BJP-ruled states.

Uma Bharti to join BJP very soon

The Nitin Gadkari-led Bhartiya Janata Party is making all efforts to re-induct senior estranged leaders who are out of the party for various reasons.

In Bharti’s case, sources say, all the issues have been cleared. Initially there was opposition to her re-induction from RSS leader Suresh Soni. Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan and his supporters were also not happy with the move and so was party’s Rajya Sabha MP and in-charge of Madhya Pradesh Prabhat Jha.

The inside story of BJP’s leadership battle

Contrary to what its chief Mohan Bhagwat has been claiming, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is in full control of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). The way the RSS has leaned on the BJP leaders to select the next president amply proves the point I am making.

With the crisis in the BJP over leadership change seems to be coming to an end, as promised in the previous posts, we bring you some more exclusive details of the raging behind-the-scenes battle over the leadership issue in the ‘party with a difference’.

Watch Pakistani qawwali on Jassu Bhaiya

Jaswant Singh’s book on Mohammad Ali Jinnah proved too costly for him as his party expelled him even without giving a notice. But Jassu Bhaiya’s scholarly work on the founding father of Pakistan has made him very popular across the border.

A Pakistani television channel is beaming a parody qawwali which praises him for showing Jinnah in a positive light and accords a 21-gun salute to Singh.

Crisis in BJP: Another leader attacks Rajnath

The unprecedented crisis that has hit the party with a difference is refusing to die down with yet another senior leader speaking out against party president Rajnath Singh.

While every leader has different reasons to blame Rajnath Singh, this is not the first time he is under fire. A letter written by a former party MP before the polls even accused him of harming the party by selling the election tickets during the Lok Sabha polls 2009.

Canary Trap brings you the letter written by BJP leader Virendra Singh to Rajnath Singh when the election process was underway.

BJP’s war within: Yashwant Sinha questions party leadership

The succession war within the Bhartiya Janata Party has intensified as senior leaders are questioning the party’s decision to reward those who should have taken the responsibility for the humiliating defeat in the just concluded Lok Sabha polls.

After Jaswant Singh, another former foreign minister and senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha wrote a letter to the BJP president and blamed the top leadership for ignoring grassroots leaders like him.
