Ramakrishnan2 >> Promoting jaitapur and other Nuclear power deal with Areva. Recently germany has decided to abandon nuclear  power and italians have said no to nuclear power.

The elite of India , the movers and shakers, the media people who give coverage to the so called green issues all live in Mumbai. They are not just residing in Mumbai, but heavily invested in it too . And Mumbai cannot survive without cheap, limitless electric power. So that explains why not just Jairam, even MSM (MainStreamMedia) is silent about Jaitapur power plant even as they cry hoarse about POSCO Steel plant (something that will not harm ecology as much as a nuke power plant and something that will only displace betel leaf growers). The hypocrisy is stunning. And for Congress, Mumbai is everything, it
is Mumbai's elite whom the party and its dynasty work far. So dammed it be if some thousand or lakh villagers lose their livelihood for that Jaitapur power plant. Who cares, as long as the elite of Mumbai see the ever rising horizons of Mumbai's skyscrapers. And the last thing these elites want to see is powecut when they are boozing and dancing in the dingy bars during late nights.

PS - Let me add that I am neither for nor against nuclear power - am only trying to expose the double standards, not just of Jairam but also the ruling UPA and also the MainStreamMedia (which is mostly pro establishment) on so called green causes.  

Ramesh has brought shame to his fellow IITians by

1. Using environmental clearances to trap Industrialists to come forward to pay respect to rahul. So cairn vedanta deal provoked you to halt vedants clearances. Again strangely the same projects are granted clearances after the Industry pays respect to janpath.

2. Promoting jaitapur and other Nuclear power deal with Areva. Recently germany has decided to abandon nuclear power and italians have said no to nuclear power. But here on your masters instructions you say jaitapur plant will come what may happen. We guess there is potential to make huge amount of money in tax havens.

3. Your attack on advani is part of effort of politicians to hijack the fight against black money and portrait it as BJP vs congress or communal vs secular. while inside all the politicians are corrupt and are together on this.

 This letter is part an parcel of the Congress playbook. Whenever cornered or asked inconvenient questions, divert attention by answering with a question. And the party faithful go "Wah, wah, wah. Kya bola. Taali bajao".

Even if we agree that Advani and the NDA were remiss, what has the UPA government done in the 7 years it has held the reins of power? If it is only going to be as slack as its predecessor what is the need to chnage the govt? why exchange one set of incompetents for another.

Mind you the BJP is no better. Yeddyurappa's defence against charges of corruption and misuse of power for personal gains is that Kumaraswamy did the same.

'A plague a both your houses".

Well said, Jairam!

Jairam Ramesh >> Goebbels believed that if you keep repeating a lie several times, people will begin to believe it. Your ideological brotherhood has perfected this dictum.

Here are some lies that you may be interested in pointing out:

* There was zero loss to exchequer by the 2g spectrum aution by Raja in 2007-2008 period

* A gentleman, a Sikh , a learned and able economist and architect of India's financial reforms, states that he is a resident of the North East Indian City of Guwahati and this gentleman gets elected to the Upper House not once but many times making this statement.

These two lies were stated respectively by your cabinet colleague and by the boss whom you report to. And they continue to stand by the lies and their consistency would put Goebbels to shame.

Jairam Ramesh >> But I would like to ask you a straight question -- in the six years that you were Home Minister, can you tell the country one single step you took to get Indian accounts in Swiss banks made transparent?

Very true, very true. Now as someone belonging to a party that has ruled for FIFTY SIX Years, what are the steps you are taking to get Indian accounts in Swiss banks made transparent?

Perhaps Ramesh is feeling the heat over his handling of the Environment Ministry and needs to prove his loyalty to the crown in order to retain his job after the forthcoming cabinet reshuffle. All the best Ramesh.
