by joe Dsousa on Sep 03, 2011 08:53 PM

In Goa also Illegal mining takes place on massive scale. Entire Hills are flattened near reserved Forest areas. Rivers are RED with mining rejects. Children inhale mining dust, reckless drivers kill dozens. Who cares?

Reddy brothers have robbed the penny of every poor person yet they are free and not ashmed of any thing on earth.If a common person commits a small theft he will be penalised and some times tortured.What punishment suits to this type of people no body can say. They can purchase every one who ever comes on their way.Oh! great India you are really Mahan.

Despite all the recent developments, the Reddy brothers
by piri on Aug 24, 2011 06:47 PM  | Hide replies

still remain very much in power !!

The REddy brothers had been operating illegal mines (for which no royalty is to be paid to the govt. simply because they are not supposed to have existed) for more than a decade, even before they joined the BJP. There are many accounts that state that they used to ship out tens of barges (each barge holding 3 to 4 thousand tonnes) every day for several years ! And each barge load of illegally mined ore netted an average profit of around Rs. 2 crores to the operator !

Just take out a calculator and work it out to see how many lakhs of crores they (along with their ring members consisting of partymen, party leaders - remember how Sushma Swaraj rushed to Bangalore to support them when it seemed that Yeddyurappa might have his way and succeed in dropping the Reddy brothers from the cabinet - govt. officials, contractors, barge operators, customs officials, excise officials, preventive intelligence people, etc.) made out of stealing national resources !!

Read in detail what the Karnataka Lok Ayukta has to say on the Reddy brothers' 'exploits' and on how much profit illegal mines earn their masters ! He has stated that more than 90 % of the value in the international market will be profit !! Which other illegal business (leave alone legal ones) yields such a profit margin ??

Why is the BJP leadership so indebted to these brothers ?

Not so much as some common sense !

Commoners, especially middle class ones, keep expressing their anger against corruption. And they take particular care to echo one another when it comes to demonstrate their 'disapproval' of corruption on such as occassions as Anna hazare's campaign.

But, when it comes to actually contribute in their small ways to reducing or discouraging corruption, they end up woefully short !
