Khejrival elaborates real estate graft,reveals DLF-Haryana GOVT relations

IAC today(Oct 9,2012) revealed the relation and deals between Haryana Government and DLF alleging that state Govt gave hospital land to DLF to build SEZ ( special economic zone--a geographical region that has economic and other laws that are more free-market-oriented than a country's national laws. "Nationwide" laws may be suspended inside a SEZ)
 "Forest land was given to DLF in Haryana without clearances," said Arvind Kejriwal 

Allegations

• Financial bid for golf course project was tweaked in favour of DLF
• Haryana govt gave land to DLF at much below market rate
• "Panchayat land has been handed over to DLF, HUDA land has been handed over to DLF.
•  FAR (floor area ratio) has been increased for DLF, land use rule have been changed (for DLF)
• Several farmers who attended press conference alleged that Haryana government had usurped land from them, using fraudulent methods
• According to their theory these benefits were given by Haryana Govt to DLF in return of benefits DLF gave to Vadra(son in law of Sonia Gandhi)

Kejriwal said the Punjab and Haryana High Court had also in recent times noted the "malafide nexus" between the Haryana government and DLF.They also demanded white paper Vadra-DLF-Haryana Govt links 

Kejriwal said they had information that a lot of ‘big people’ had invested in BPTP and India Bulls. He appealed to the people to send in evidence of such investments in  companies such as BPTP, India Bulls and GMR.

Quote"All the evidence we have provided today makes it a fit case for an income tax raid," he said. "I have been an income tax officer, and I know it.
"But after the country's finance minister speaks in favour of Vadras, which officer will have the guts to give (Vadra) a notice?" he added."Why is the finance minister defending him? Why is the law minister defending him? All the ministers are trying to save him." he asked

 
Shanti Bhushan(notable lawyer) added that the questionable business dealings between DLF and Vadra were very much covered by the Prevention of Corruption Act
REPLY/REACTION
 National Govt,state(Haryana) Govt as well as DLF turned down the allegations.
DLF in its press conference called Khejrival's  allegations "a bunch of lies" 
DLF's reply is as follows 

• On relation between state Govt and DLF
  With reference to the 30 acres of SEZ development by DLF on land purchased from East India Hotels, the order of the Punjab & Haryana High Court  has been stayed by the Supreme Court of India vide its orders dated 20th June 2011 and 26th September 2011.The matter is subjudice and is awaiting hearing.  The matter is subjudice and is awaiting hearing. 
• On Vadera's share in DLF-SEZ  holdings
  In the DLF SEZ Holdings 50% of shareholding was acquired by North India IT Parks in October 2008 at the face value of Rs. 2.50 Lacs which was subsequently bought back from North India IT Parks in September 2009 fully at face value of Rs. 2.50 Lacs  as the proposal for developing SEZs could not take off due to recession.So no profit was made by Mr. Vadra or DLF, in this regard.  Mr. Vadra, neither had nor has any interest in the various SEZs of DLF in any manner.
• 350 Acres land given to DLF
   This land was allotted through an international bidding tender. This matter is subjudice before the High Court of Punjab & Haryana. 
•  Increased FAR for DLF
  This project was approved way back in 1995 as stated in DLF's earlier press release. In subsequent revisions of Master Plan, no changes in FAR or density have taken place. Hence, no benefit has accrued to DLF by the said revisions in the Master Plan.
• Land Acquisition cancelled in Manesar to favour DLF
  DLF or any of its companies never purchased any land in the residential sectors of Manesar as alleged by Kejriwal.
  Acquisition proceedings were withdrawn by Government of Haryana on 24 August 2007, whereas DLF acquired development rights much later from other developers to develop two licensed group housing projects only on 11 April 2008.
  These group housing projects are under development after obtaining all due approvals.
