Dalit BJP MP alleges discrimination by CM Yogi, other senior leaders

Agencies

April 5, 2018

Lucknow, Apr 5: The BJP was left red-faced after yet another Dalit MP of the party accused the leadership and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of "humiliating" him and sought prime minister Narendra Modi's intervention.

BJP Lok Sabha member from Robertsganj in the state's tribal-dominated Sonebhadra district, about 450 km from here, Chotelal Kharwar has written to Modi stating in detail about his humiliation and discrimination by his party colleagues, including senior state functionaries, administration and Adityanath, and urged him to take steps to restore his dignity.

The Dalit lawmaker said in the letter that the administration had hatched a conspiracy to get him evicted from his house by declaring it forest property.

He also accused his party colleagues of colluding with the rival parties.

"I met Adityanath to apprise him of the matter but he threw me out," Kharwar claimed.

Kharwar's outbursts against the state government and party colleagues came within days after Dalit saffron party MP from Baharaich constituency Savitri Bai Phule also accused the party leadership of conspiring to scrape reservation.

Savitri also organised a rally here a few days ago in which she expressed similar apprehensions.

Chotelal's allegations against Adityanath, in particular, put the BJP in an embarrassing situation as a similar charge was made a city-based trader as well.

The trader Ayush Singhal had also accused Adityanath of throwing him out of the latter's "Janata Darbar" after he complained to him that controversial independent MLA Aman Mani Tripathi had illegally grabbed his (trader) precious land.

"Maharajji (Adityanath) ne meri application phenk di...bole tera kaam zindagi mein nahin hoga," (he threw away my application and said that it will not be acted upon in this life), Singhal claimed.

Incidentally, Aman Mani, who is the son of murder convict former Uttar Pradesh minister Amar Mani Tripathi, was himself an accused in the murder of his wife.

He had voted for the BJP in the recently concluded Rajya Sabha biennial polls in Uttar Pradesh.

ED summons Anil Ambani for Yes Bank money laundering probe

News Network

March 16,2020

New Delhi, Mar 16: Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani has been summoned by the ED in connection with its money laundering probe against Yes Bank promoter Rana Kapoor and others, officials said on Monday.

They said Ambani was asked to depose at the Enforcement Directorate office in Mumbai on Monday as his group companies are among the big entities whose loans went bad after borrowing from the crisis-hit bank.

The officials said Ambani, 60, has sought exemption from appearance on some personal grounds and he may be issued a new date.

Ambani's group companies are stated to have taken loans of about Rs 12,800 crore from the bank that turned NPAs.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said in a March 6 press conference that the Anil Ambani Group, Essel, ILFS, DHFL and Vodafone were among the stressed corporates Yes Bank had exposure to.

Officials said promoters of all the big companies who had taken large loans from the beleaguered bank which later turned bad are being summoned for questioning in the case to take investigation forward.

Ambani's statement will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) upon deposition, they said.

Kapoor, 62, is at present in ED custody after he was arrested by the central probe agency early this month.

The ED has accused Kapoor, his family members and others of laundering "proceeds of crime" worth Rs 4,300 crore by receiving alleged kickbacks in lieu of extending big loans through their bank that later turned NPA.
