Handling Congress Wiseguys

In many past posts, I have explained what a “Wiseguy” is. To refresh, a Wiseguy is a criminal in the Mafia hierarchy or family. Effectively, he is the footsie who runs all the errands for the Bosses with his small crew. You know, simple errands like murdering someone, smuggling goods, robbing banks or cash-storage facilities, extortion, blackmail, bribing cops, bribing judges. They are specialists only in their experienced tasks but otherwise brainless and often called “morons”. Martin Scorsese made a movie of some such real-life morons with an alternate title “GoodFellas”. So, they have also come to be called GoodFellas.

Though Wiseguys are experienced and very committed to their Boss, they usually goof up and bungle quite often. For instance, the Goodfellas in the Scorsese movie murder a “made man” of another family (which is an offence punishable by death in the mafia) and quietly bury him in a municipal land. Months later the municipality decides to develop that piece of land. So, the morons go and dig up that body to bury it elsewhere. The same goes for Congress Wiseguys – The footsies of Sonia Gandhi. They will run all kinds of errands for her and they will invariably goof up, being brainless by nature. Lately, they also run simple errands for RahulG, the heir to the Congress mafia. Take for instance Wiseguys like Abhishek Singhvi, Kapil Sibal or the ever-whining Randeep Surjewala:

The exit polls to the recent elections in MP, Rajasthan and Chattisgarh were just out and these Wiseguys were issuing threats to officers of the ED and other agencies against prosecuting Vadra or any of their mafia family members. You see, Wiseguys like Singhvi and Sibal are good at their regular jobs like getting a midnight bail by pressurising judges or sexploiting women in their chambers with the promise of a judge position. They can also be very brainless with theories like “Zero loss” or “termites ate all the accounts books”. I am sure SoniaG puts these morons across her lap and whacks them blue when they goof up. But given these are her Wiseguys, they will be restored to their criminal jobs of threatening officials and even claiming “Modi cannot protect them” as if Modi protects any of them. Such is the extortion, threats and “Goondagiri” of the Congress Wiseguys. Then there are other assorted Wiseguys of the Congress like this guy Prashant Bhushan:

Bhushan is actually from another mafia family but since that family has no business, he is often “rented” by Congress to do their dirty work. So, the moment Sonia sneezes, Bhushan runs to the SC with a PIL on something or the other. I call him the “iPIL” man. Whether it’s the Judge Loya case or the Rafale case, Bhushan is kept employed with frivolous PILs. One has to wonder who funds this guy. Surely, Bhushan cannot be doing all this as hobby or in any public interest. The SC recently slapped a fine of 25 lakhs on Bhushan and his NGO called “CJAR”. I wonder what CJAR stands for – Cookie Jar – where every enemy of India drops in Cookies? It doesn’t take much for the IT Dept and GOI to find out the source of funds for all the misadventures of Bhushan. I am sure, some forces that are anti-India are funnelling funds through some route.

Then, there’s a whole channel called NDTV with male and female Wiseguys like Sreenivasan Jain, Prannoy Roy, Nidhi, Sunetra etc. who have been long time henchmen and women for Sonia and Congress. They will find the most twisted, irrational and moronic arguments to defend Congress and Pappu. And the NDTV guys are more brainless than your average Wiseguy. For instance, only a Nidhi can come up with something as stupid as asking the GOI to define “Default” and scream about “Default 24”. Recently, the other brainless Wisegirl Sunetra claimed trying Michel in India would amount to “Double Jeopardy” without even knowing what that means. The NDTV Wiseguys are dumber than your usual suspects:

Then there are others like Barkha Dutt, Varadabhai of the TheMire and Shekhar Gupta who is now busy “Printing” lies by the minute. All of these little Wiseguys desperately want their fiefdom back – to indulge in corruption, free lunches, free joyrides on govt flights, brown envelopes – EVERTHING! What about some sundry Wiseguys of other parties who act as spokies of Congress on TV? These are the biggest moronic Wiseguys of the lot who are the “Kadi Patta” in Congress recipes; worthless guys that have as much utility as a bathroom drain plunger that is seldom used:

Tanveer Ahmed even turned up with a towel wrapped around his head on Republic TV after the recent election results. When I ridiculed him, he responded stating he had injuries on his head. Well, even with injuries he wants to bat for Congress who were the JDS enemies till recently. Less said about the dumb Ghanshyam Tiwari the better. He’s supposedly a Harvard graduate but has the brains of a Cuckoo that belongs to the SP but keeps laying its eggs in the Congress nest. He’s a “Wiseguy for rent”. As for Suneet Chopra, I wonder who found this useless piece of trash that keeps whining all the time. He’s a Commie CPM footsie but from somewhere Arnab Goswami dug out this redundant fossil to embellish his already idiotic debates with more idiocy.

There’s another Wiseguy who floats around as a “Defence expert” and goes by the name of Ajai Shukla. He used to be an NDTV fixture but is now a “Roving Wiseguy”. I have strong suspicions that he is one of those 68 privileged journos of Christian Michel in the Agusta scam but time will tell. Shukla doesn’t describe the SC verdict as a “Slap for Rahul” but rather as a “respite for the BJP”. He calls the judgement “flawed” and that SC judgements do not come from God. Voila! At last someone realised that SC judges are not Gods but humans like us. As stupid as these people can get, they don’t like the SC if it doesn’t go their way. Shukla was on a show with Nidhi on NDTV – talk about two morons discussing SC. Nidhi had famously slammed SC with a British MP and he had to ask her to respect the SC clean chit to Modi on 2002 riots.

And Shukla claims SC judges don’t have military knowledge to pronounce judgements. He forgets that SC had two Air Force Chiefs providing testimony in the Rafale case too. Of course, with such stupidos, SC was a medical and forensic analyst in the Judge Loya case or the judges were Pujaris at Sabarimala to know all about Ayyappa traditions. This, then, is how Congress Wiseguys behave when things don’t go their Mata’s way. Very predictable! As much as these Wiseguys claim that their Boss Pappu had demanded a JPC on Rafale, out comes the news that their own Wiseguy Kharge, as the head of a Parliamentary panel, slams HAL for its failures. And the naturally stupid Pappu shouts about HAL being side-lined in the Rafale deal:

 

The behaviour of these Wiseguys is dictated by the behaviour of Pappu himself. Naturally stupid, and habitual liar, RahulG has emerged as the biggest Wiseguy of the lot. With nothing to lose and no clear agenda on anything – the Congress has coached Pappu to utter only one sentence repeatedly – “Rafale scam and Chowkidar Chor”. He repeated the “Chowkidar Chor” slogan again even after the SC verdict dismissing petitions seeking a SIT into the Rafale deal. That is the only agenda for the Congress and their only slogan right up to LS2019. They hope they can somehow paint Modi as “corrupt” and make that an election issue. It’s comic that the most corrupt party in the world and the most corrupt family running it even calls someone else corrupt. Still, however, the mafia must be brought down and it must be brought down cleverly, smoothly and without any hesitation or demure. A journalist, Mohan Sinha, describes the dirtiness of the Congress politics pretty well:

This is the lesson that Modi & co haven’t learned. You cannot deal with the Congress mafia and their hoodlums by being nice. The Congress is a demon when in power. When out of power they become even worse. They resort to abuse, resort to character-assassination and brazen out their corruption as if they are angels send by Caligula. The kind of LIES they constantly blabber just to dodge their own crimes would shame even a Ponzi operator. ModiSarkar and BJP would be well advised not to treat these criminally-accused with kid gloves anymore. Whining in media and seeking apology from criminals is the trait of fools. They need to go after the criminals hammer and tongs. And for a start, they must regularly inform the public about the misdeeds of Congress and how they are trying to sabotage the Rafale deal and compromise national security. The govt should use its money to advertise the SC verdict and how Congress is obfuscating and peddling falsehoods to the public. They need to gently educate the masses:

Advertisement also has the propensity to have adverse effects if there is an overkill. Therefore, this has to be done in instalments just to ensure that the crimes of Congress stay at the top of the mind recall and do not become extinct. The land grab, “Tax Chori” and that National Herald scam must also be highlighted, although this part needs to be done at the BJP expense and not the govt. The Rafale BLITZ can be under govt expense as the as the lies and allegations rejected by SC are against the govt and not the party. Let the Congis respond with ads. Let them drain their money.  When things go wrong for them, the mafia Wiseguys soon start behaving like idiots out of their depths. I can almost imagine SoniaG desperately calling every moron and threatening them with dire consequences when this happens (Video 30 secs):

So, how do you then bring the Wiseguys to book and stop their criminal activities? Not all of them are viciously criminal, some are just jokers floating around. You do it the same way the FBI did with the mafia in the US. Put a tab on all the Mafia Bosses. Pit one Wiseguy against another. Read out their crimes to them and threaten them a good life in prison. Consequently, some Wiseguys will turn rats and be willing to snitch on others. Bug some of them and collect evidence against the other bigger Wiseguys and their bosses. Keep them under constant pressure. After all, who is a better teacher than Sonia on this? She hounded people like Mulayam and Mayawati with the CBI on their illegal assets cases and twisted their arms. Be absolutely RUTHLESS with Congress Wiseguys. They are neither used to decent behaviour nor used to normal systems of justice. Publicise every small and big crime of the Wiseguys widely in the regional media. Stop sleeping with Wiseguys like NDTV or India Today. Lipstick does not sell in politics.

And that is that. Put the Wiseguys on the run, hound them and investigate them for any and every crime they may have committed. After all, there is hardly a Wiseguy of Congress who is free from corruption or some crime. If you let these jerks off the hook, it would be the biggest mistake to make in politics. Let them cry vendetta, let them cry politics. Show no mercy, no remorse.

Scamsters Paradise

In the first few weeks after ModiSarkar came to power in 2014, they set up an SIT on black money. I don’t know what happened to that SIT and what report it has submitted in four years since. In any case, no black money of any quantity has come back and this was one of the promises PM Modi had made – to bring back black money. I was pretty sure no black money is ever coming back and therefore, in a few months after this SIT, I wrote “Baby black is not coming back”. Lists were collected from various foreign banks during the previous Congress govt who decided not to disclose any names. ModiSarkar went one better; they appealed to the SC to hide many names claiming this would affect treaties with other countries. Arun Jaitley had more to show for all this.

Jaitley played games with the SC and the black money hoarders. Back in October 2014 Ram Jethmalani wrote a letter to AJ about it. Before these events, Jaitley (as usual) was in his “Durbar” mouthing stupid statements (I quote from my post linked in the first para): “To his eternal mutual-fan Barkha Dutt he said “I won’t be embarrassed if the names are released” meaning the BJP won’t be affected. To Navika Kumar on TimesNow he said “I am not saying anything, I am just smiling” when asked if there were any Congress names. AJ is used to political games in the Lutyens club”. AJ doesn’t like Defence or I&B (he is fit for only I&B though). PC too didn’t like the Home Ministry. Both of them like the “Big boys club” and both them are darlings of the media. You will NEVER find any serious criticism of these two in the media:

I don’t have any doubts that many fraudsters and black money hoarders are being deliberately protected. The list of names was to be given to SC by the SIT in a “sealed envelope”. I guess the list would be opened and disclosed in about 50 years when most of us are dead. Nobody is going to jail; no black money will ever be recovered. Now we are up against the financial crimes of Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi and maybe a few more. In their own diamond industry, traders didn’t trust these two and for few years sold them stuff only against cash. Trust me, the Indian banking system is the most subject to fraudulent acts or abuse of power by the managers and directors of every bank. This is particularly with the PSU banks.

I have known businessmen and banks to collude and create and encash bogus LCs without material ever being actually sold. I have known businessmen and banks collude to discount bills of large sums for material never sold. I have known banks to banks to discount even bogus PDCs. I know of manufacturers showing billing and despatch from Daman or Silvassa to escape excise in the past. Such units had no more than a small shop in Daman/Silvassa with a table and chair in the place. I know a particular case where the bank and the business owner continued this practice over years. What the businessman did with the fraudulent borrowings is to invest in Real Estate. He made handsome gains in the real estate business in a short period and never defaulted on the borrowings so nobody faced any problems. Some years later the real estate business collapsed and the bank was in a deep hole and so was the businessman. They somehow managed to cover up the entire fraud.

Needless to say, in all these scams (of much smaller denominations) the bank manager gets a handsome “reward”. Many of these usually happen at banks at industrial zones where managers personally come to know the units and their owners quite well as also their modus operandi. They rely on the security of assets to cover up for their collusion. Diamonds are forever but they can also be FAKE, as we discovered in the recent cases. Some snippets in the Nirav-Mehul episode make interesting reading:

It’s interesting what Sanjay Pugalia says in his tweet above. Not only did Nirav Modi know his scams were coming out, he also planned well in advance to escape from India – Lock, Stock and Children. Surely, all the Babus and bank managers he must have “oiled” so well must have given him enough tips and time to escape. Mehul Choksi has also run off abroad. Hard to say if these guys are going to come back or if they hold citizenships of other countries. Doesn’t matter, none of the scam money is ever going to come back. Even in the case of Lalu Prasad, the courts sent him to jail but nary a mention of the recovery of money he was convicted of looting.

India has become a Scamsters Paradise. Thanks mostly to the Congress for this. If you have some connections you can loot Indian banks at will. The Congress is the “Congotri” of scams and corruption. From Govt scams to others like Vadra to the latest Nirav-Mehul scams, I have no doubts all of these are blessed by Congress. The problem is, PM Modi is unable or unwilling to act – hard to tell why. Maybe Jaitley influences the course of dealing with scamsters beyond NaMo’s control. Otherwise, how does one explain the govt and its ministers still sleeping and romancing criminal fraudsters like NDTV?

Very frequently, the frauds of NDTV keep coming out. Lately, a scam through FIPB clearance is out. PC’s son Karti is known and reported to have acted as a “broker” for such clearances and alleged to have made a lot of money through such brokerage. PC possessed a sealed letter to the SC on the Aircel-Maxis scam at his home which was discovered during the raid. Both PC and Karti are being investigated in the case. How these two fraudsters still roam around nonchalantly and keep blabbering nonsense against PM Modi is beyond comprehension. This can happen only in India. All these scamsters are UNTOUCHABLES. None of this will affect Jaitley one bit. AJ is just an unelectable Lutyens Durbar operator. But it dents the credibility of PM Modi a lot and he seems helpless despite being the most powerful PM in office in over 3 decades. Sample this by MD Nalapat in the Sunday Guardian:

“his “Modi’s) government has ordered the forcible merger of a Mumbai-based company with a now defunct stock exchange begun by the major shareholder of the former. Oddly, the stockbrokers who actually owed the moneys in default seem to have escaped penal action thus far, while a separate company has been marked for destruction through forcible payment by it of the dues of the other entity. There have been whispers that the move against this company was taken on the instance of a former Finance Minister, who wanted to both destroy an exchange competing with a favourite of his, as well as to protect the parties guilty of default…”

It is also interesting how the Congis and PC, in particular, made life for the scamsters a lot easier by tweaking the bank security systems. The Congress govt let go a more secure but cheaper security system in favour of a “Finacle” by Infosys that cost some 25 times more at 1000 crores and with some 1000 more holes in it. I wonder if “Finacle” stands for “Financial Debacle”. The managers of PNB in Nirav Modi scam had access to all the security systems:

The NDTV saga is all the more alarming and starting to become a joke with ModiSarkar looking scared to even touch them. Prannoy Roy now writes letters to the PM claiming Subramanian Swamy exposing their frauds will “hurt India” and damage “freedom of Press”. NONSENSE! NDTV is a fraudulent, anti-national entity that neither stands for India nor for any journalistic ethics or freedom. But I have no doubts that this FIPB crap is not some investment issue but is an outright fraud. I also have no doubts that a lot of kickbacks would have gone to those who allowed this money-laundering. Anyone can easily guess whose funds NDTV was laundering:

 

In the Nirav Modi episode too a lot of Congis are linked – from Pappu to Sibal to Abhishek Singhvi. PM Modi may not be personally corrupt or dishonest in anyway whatsoever. Nobody ever questions his integrity. But all these incidents and many more that are yet to come out do question his moral authority to talk endlessly about the “Fight against corruption”. There is something else that ModiSarkar could have done, apart from the SC-demanded SIT on black money.

At the beginning of his term, PM Modi should have ordered all PSU banks to send in a list of all defaulters of over some amount (say 10 crores or so). All of these people put together may not have exceeded one lakh in number. Scrutiny of this small population is not difficult for a govt committed to put away scamsters. Had ModiSarkar done this and acted on defaulters then many continuing scams could have been averted and many corrupt banks exposed. Even during Demonetisation many banks and managers were found carrying out fraudulent acts and recycling black money for bigwigs.

Who knows, maybe ModiSarkar did have the list of all the defaulters and scamsters. But may the FM and the FinMin decided to turn a blind-eye for the reason that a large-scale crack down might see job-losses and shutting down of many business units. That was a risk worth taking at the start of the term of ModiSarkar than seeing unemployment rise and units shutting down even otherwise at the end of four years of BJP rule. Under Congress, India had become a Scamsters Paradise and none of the scamsters have lost anything under ModiSarkar either. The only real fools are the little people who have to face rejections by banks for small loans or inquiries by the IT department or other departments. Continuance of the scamsters paradise will only produce more scamsters, not end corruption and frauds. Nirav or Mehul are nothing in this whole game.
