AAP's Internal Lokpal's Progess/changes P-1

See latest state of internal lokpal here

In October last year, Kejrival had announced that an internal lokpal of the APP(lokpal that will investigate against irregularities in the party) consisting of  three-member panel of retired judges headed by Justice AP Shah would investigate charges of impropriety against its members including Prashant Bhushan, Anjali Damania and Mayank Gandhi. 
Apart from Shah Justice BH Marlapalle (retd) of Bombay high court and Justice Jaspal Singh (retd) of Delhi high court were members of the internal lokpal of the APP.
Another lokpal termed as 'National lokpal' for the party is set up having Justice Bhagwati Prasad(Retd. chief justice of Jharkhand HC ) and  former Navy chief Admiral L Ramdas 

Kejriwal however on Friday(Feb ,2 2013) said the panel could not begin work due to paucity of time. He also said that according to the code devised by their internal lokpal, it would not take suo moto cases but only investigate cases referred by a complainant. The internal lokpal has also decided to pursue cases of national executive members only.
This means  that at present, internal lokpal will only be looking at case of Mayank Gandhi only against whom allegations have been raised . He added that a report on Gandhi would be made public in less than two months. 
However Kejrival said that there is no complainant against Prashant Bhushan so he will not be investigated. Also he said that Damania is a member of the state unit so she can be investigated by the lokpal's state unit.

Editor's View: First they announced probe against all the three i.e Bhushan, Mayank and Damania. Now the check-list is reduced to just one! Well honestly it was not a decent thing to be done by APP. They should change this decision.

2nd big expose:Arvind reveals Gadkari's(BJP) graft.

 Arvind Kejriwal today(Wednesday,Oct 17) targeted BJP president Nitin Gadkari , accusing him of receiving personal favors by getting around 100 acres of agriculture land in Maharashtra with the help of Maharashtra government{ Congress-NCP( Nationalist Congress Party).
IAC held a press conference attended by Kejrival ,Prashant Bhushan and another IAC activist from Maharashtra Anjali Damania.


Allegations 

• Kejriwal alleged that rules were bent by the Maharashtra government( Congress-NCP) to benefit Gadkari.
  
• He claimed that vast tracts of land were acquired from farmers for building a dam in Umred taluka in Nagpur district and excess land that should have been returned to the farmers (as per law) was  given to Gadkari and his company with the help of scam-tainted former irrigation minister Ajit Pawar.

• Kejriwal also alleged that there is relation between BJP and Congress-NCP government of Maharashtra, saying Gadkari and his party maintained "silence" over various issues of corruption like the irrigation scam surrounding the Maharashtra government.
  
• Claiming to have letters signed by Ajit Pawar, he said that the then irrigation minister(Ajit Pawar) influenced the Vidharbha Industrial Development Corporation even though its secretary objected, saying it could not be done "legally".
• He said Gadkari has a big business empire and his interests range from power to sugar to ethanol.
• He gave example of a farmer named  Gajanan Ghagde who approached the government seeking return of his land.But the government pressed the farmer's request for almost two years but when Gadkari wrote a letter seeking transfer of the same land to him, Pawar wrote a letter recommending it in four days, he alleged.

• Kejriwal alleged Robert Vadra was looting farmers' land in Haryana while Gadkari(BJP) was doing the same in Maharashtra.

BJP and Gadkari have rejected charges of any wrongdoing by him.

EDITOR's VIEW
 |Now its their(BJP's) time of getting revealed, this revelation also clears the concept that IAC is not at all any agent of any political party(weather BJP or congress). So now politicians better stop saying this 'agent' phrase!|
