CBI on Sonia Gandhi-Ajit Jogi cash-for-MLAs scam

The CBI has targeted now the former Rajasthan Home Minister and Leader of Opposition Gulabchand Kataria in the Sohrabuddin case. This is actually to frame innocent leaders, Amit Shah was targeted as he is Narendra Modi's trusted aide and now they want to target other leaders as much as possible. No evidence was found against Amit Shah and despite very weak, if any, evidence CBI has targeted both Amit Shah and Kataria. Amit Shah was arrested first in July 2010 and then given bail only on condition that he would not enter Gujarat, and later this condition was revoked in 2012. In this time, no courts found any merit in the CBI case and gave him bail. In all these years, never once did CBI even remotely name the then Rajasthan Home Minister Gulabchand Kataria. But now with elections due in Rajasthan in December 2013, the CBI suddenly named him as another accused.

 But what has CBI done on another case with evidence? 

Congress leader Ajit Jogi once split the BJP in Chhattisgarh in December 2001, when he walked away with 12 MLAs through money power. In December 2003, when the BJP won Chhattisgarh, winning 50 out of 90 seats, Ajit Jogi tried to split the BJP again and form the Government. He wrote a letter to the then Governor saying, “Our Congress Party’s all 37 MLAs give their support to a government to be formed under the leadership of Baliram Kashyap, MP. Please give us the chance to form the government”. This letter of Jogi was openly brought out in the media and Ajit Jogi admitted that he wrote the letter.

Congress loyalist Outlook weekly itself gave a report of this attempt to grab power by Jogi after losing polls in 2003.

Congress was forced to suspend Ajit Jogi after that immediately.

But in March 2004, before the Lok Sabha polls, the Congress brought back the tainted man.

The same day as this letter went out (6-7 December 2003), an audio tape having conversation between Ajit Jogi and a BJP leader of Chhattisgarh on phone was aired. In that tape, Jogi was talking of giving money to buy BJP MLAs to split the party. Jogi later said that the letter to the Governor was his, but the voice in the tape was not his. But this lie was exposed by the forensic lab report which said that the voice in the tape was indeed of Ajit Jogi. This single lie itself is enough to nail Ajit Jogi. This report shows that the lab said it was Jogi’s voice only.

But just on 4th June 2012 the CBI said that it cannot prosecute Ajit Jogi and has filed a closure report.

For bribing the MLAs, 45 lakh+ rupees were paid in cash to a BJP leader, directly by Ajit Jogi and his son Amit Jogi. These 45 lakh were handed over to the CBI as well in December 2003.

The CBI also traced the Bank account from which the money was paid.

 Despite this clear evidence the CBI first said in January 2007 that it cannot prosecute Jogi and now again has said in June 2012 (of course on Congress Government’s orders). But in January 2007, the DNA reported that almost everyone in CBI was in favour of prosecuting Ajit Jogi and wanted a chargesheet to be filed against him after the tape was proved to be genuine, but Additional Soliciter General of the UPA Government influenced / pressured/ advised CBI not to do so.

In Dec 2008 CNN-IBN reported that apart from having been chargesheeted in the cash-for-MLAs scam, Jogi has also been named as a co-conspirator in the murder of NCP treasurer Ram Avtar Jaggi in 2003 after two of the several accused turned approver and gave statements in a Chhattisgarh court.

Now let us look at the contents of that conversation.

First is here are some excerpts of that talk between Jogi and BJP leader Virendra Pandey carried by a Congress sycophant weekly like Outlook. Virendra Pandey pretended to fall for the bait of Ajit Jogi and got him nailed. Note that this Congress loyalist weekly carefully deletes the reference to Sonia Gandhi in the excerpts. And this tape has been proved to be genuine by the Forensic Lab on 22 Jan 2006. 

             

The Transcript

Virender Pandey is Chhatisgarh state BJP vice-president. 'Khunte' referred to in the conversation is the BJP MP who had defected to the Congress before the (2003) elections. Now of course he claims that he was under pressure.

Ajit Jogi: Hello

Virender Pandey: Jogiji, tell me...

Ajit Jogi: Pandeyji I had sent you a message.

Virender Pandey: I received it but some things need to be clarified.

Ajit Jogi: Tell me.

Virender Pandey: First the numbers. You have 37, right?

Ajit Jogi: Take it as 39, two from BSP

Virender Pandey: Have you spoken to them?

Ajit Jogi: Yes

Virender Pandey: So we need to arrange seven more to achieve the figure of 7

Ajit Jogi: The speaker is our man. He will not disqualify them.

Virender Pandey: So they have joined you. Now you'll have to go to the Governor, it is better if the whole thing is done this evening

Ajit Jogi: True

Virender Pandey: But there is a slight problem. Balli Ram has a great stature in the party, in fact, Bal Thackeray had even called him an uncut diamond. He has such an ability to pull people. So if he leaves, he will be putting his life's reputation at stake.

Ajit Jogi: That shouldn't be a problem

Virender Pandey: The other thing we need is a guarantee that they will not withdraw support for five years. So your party should make an announcement that these people are joining us against communal forces, and then they should say which is why we shall not withdraw support. Then we can work out a common minimum programme.

Ajit Jogi: That can be easily done.

Virender Pandey: It's important because we all know what happened with the Chandrashekhar Government.

Ajit Jogi: Chandrashekhar is a different story, I am Jogi and I shall do what I say.

Virender Pandey: I got a call from Khunte and I spoke to him and told him to think about who are the people who can leave. In his Lok Sabha constituency there are four people - his son, Bedu Ram Kashyap, Lachchu Kashyap, Mahesh Baghel. These four-five names are doing the rounds, but for the other names we will need cash, without that nothing happens now days.

Ajit Jogi: That will be arranged.

Virender Pandey: We will have to pay them some money in advance, 2 to 4 lakhs right now, today, the rest can be settled later.

Ajit Jogi: That'll be done.

Virender Pandey: So send 15 - 20 lakhs to me through Khunte, then I shall talk to Balli Ram and then get back but send the money in the next two hours

Ajit Jogi: I shall call Khunte right away. How much? About 15 - 20 ?

Virender Pandey: Yes about 20 - 25 is enough.

Ajit Jogi: I shall send it, but only if the deal is done.

Virender Pandey: Definitely, only if it comes through, otherwise the money will come back to you.

Congress loyalist weekly Outlook carefully deleted the reference to Sonia Gandhi in its excerpts published. Here is this reference included in excerpts by another daily The Telegraph. The original tape and full text may have even more. Sonia Gandhi herself gave a statement condemning Ajit Jogi in public claiming 'high moral ground' while re-embracing him again within 4 months, and even now when the tapes have been proved to be genuine.

Ajit Jogi is a very cunning and a very dangerous man. Note that former BJP chief Bangaru Laxman was convicted and given 4 years imprisonment on a fictitious case, where all the so-called dealers and deals were unreal. If he could be convicted for an imaginary thing, then Jogi can definitely be convicted for this real attempt to split the BJP giving 45 lakh in cash, which were given to CBI and this was second attempt to split the BJP after splitting once in 2001, also through money. All anti-corruption crusaders like Anna Hazare, Baba Ramdev etc should be asked to raise this issue to nail the CBI and the Congress for trying to let Jogi get away with this.

And this CBI has evidence against Amit Shah and Kataria, but not against Ajit Jogi! What 'action against corrupt leaders' by UPA Government, as Sonia Gandhi has claimed so often! Sonia Gandhi is herself named as someone who gave full approval to this attempt to split the BJP by none other than Ajit Jogi himself in the tape.The use of Sonia's name was condemned by the Congress, but it re-embraced Ajit Jogi later, who had taken her name!

 Congress MP P R Khunte, who was in the BJP till November 2003 and defected to the Congress before the Assembly polls, and was said to be Jogi's 'prize catch from the BJP' and involved in the failed attempt to break the BJP, also said that Congress chief Sonia Gandhi had given her approval to break the BJP in Chhattisgarh.

Naturally, the Rahul-Sonia combine has used CBI to fabricate cases against Narendra Modi's aide Amit Shah and Rajasthan BJP leaders, and used this same CBI to save their 'blue-eyed boy' Ajit Jogi and their own skins. Ajit Jogi is a Christian just as Sonia Gandhi, and that is one big reason why he is and has always been Sonia Gandhi's blue-eyed boy. He is on record saying as Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh that tribals are not Hindus.

 This is a blatant case of evidence of corruption, shielding the corrupt, misuse of CBI, etc.
