Destroying Ins tu ons, bligh ng the honest and rewarding the
corrupt
The governments of Congress ruled states have been reduced to vassals under the
GandhiāVadra family. The ins tu ons of the State and their statutory apparatuses are
being destroyed, the honest and sincere oļ¬cers are ac vely discriminated against and
hounded and the corrupt are rewarded and promoted. The BJP asks the following
ques ons from the ļ¬rst family of the Indian Na onal Congress.
1. An IAS oļ¬cer who handled change in landāuse and colony license permissions for
nine years from 2005 to 2013 in the oļ¬ce of the Chief Minister Haryana was appointed
Member of UPSC in September, 2013, i.e., 5 months a er his re rement. The oļ¬cer had
re red in the rank of Addi onal Secretary. The post of Member of UPSC is normally
meant for oļ¬cers in the rank of Secretary to Government of India. What considera ons
weighed in the appointment?
2. Why is the statutory order dated 15 October, 2012 of the Director General
Consolida on of Land Holdings, Haryana under sec on 42 of the East Punjab
Consolida on Act of 1948, cancelling the land muta on between M/s Skylight Hospitality
and M/s DLF Universal not implemented ll date? Are some individuals bigger than the
rule of law? Can a Commi ee of three IAS oļ¬cers appointed by a Congress Chief
Minister conduct a fair and independent inquiry against the GandhiāVadra family? Can
this Commi ee usurp the authority of the High Court and nullify a statutory order? What
is the credibility of the Commi ee of three IAS oļ¬cers, of whom one member was
Principal Secretary, Town & Country Planning Department and in whose tenure the
commercial colony license was wrongly renewed on 18.01.2011? What considera ons
weighed upon the Government in extending the service of the Chairman of this
Commi ee a er his re rement from the IAS?
6. Ques ons to Smt. Sonia Gandhi and Shri Rahul Gandhi about land
purchase by Shri Robert Vadra in Rajasthan
1. Is it a fact or not that Mr. Robert Vadra through his various companies like Skylight
Realty Pvt Ltd, Real Earth Estates Pvt Ltd, Sky Light Hospitality Pvt Ltd etc. purchased
about 1634 hectares lands in Rajasthanās Bikaner district between June 2009 to August
2011. For what purpose such huge chunks of lands were purchased in various parts of
Bikaner district.
2. Is it a fact or not that the western districts of Rajasthan receive the maximum solar
radia on and solar energy was sought to be promoted under the overall policy of
encouraging nonāconven onal energy. With this end, solar park was sought to be
established as per the solar policy of Rajasthan Government were by more than 700
companies have registered themselves with a proposal to generate more than 16,000
MW of solar power.
3. Is it a fact or not that as per Government of India policy the Government of
Rajasthan was to establish a land bank to provide land at 10% of DLC rate to investor for
solar energy? Quite aware of all this Mr. Robert Vadra through his front companies had
purchased most of the land near the Highway or near the grids subāsta ons taking
beneļ¬t of the very helpful a tude of the Ashok Gehlot led Congress Government of
Rajasthan.
4. Mr. Robert Vadra very well knew that land around power subāsta on would be
valuable once Government announces incen ves for solar power genera on because
solar plants situated close to subāsta on are most economical because with less
investment power can be evacuated.
5. Is it a fact or not that companies were forced to purchase land from Robert Vadraās
companies at huge cost who were desirous of producing solar power. The then Congress
Government in Rajasthan was working in perfect coāordina on with Robert Vadra to
facilitate huge return for his investment.
7. 6. To help him even the Agriculture Land Ceiling Provision of Rajasthan were
amended. Under sec on 4(J) of 1973 Land Ceiling Act the maximum permissible area in
the desert zone is 175 acres. Since the huge purchase of 1634 hectares approximately
was clearly viola ve hence an Amendment was passed in a hurry in 2010 by the then
Ashok Gehlotās Government exemp ng such companies which wanted to establish
project but for that it was important to get prior Government approval for speciļ¬c
project related nonāagriculture purposes to avail the exemp on beyond the permissible
limit.
7. The Agriculture land in huge chunk purchased by Shri Robert Vadra companies are
much in excess of the ceiling limit and no land use change for speciļ¬ed projects has been
taken. Therefore is it not a fact that for failure to furnish proper factual returns, Sh.
Robert Vadra must suļ¬er the prosecu on for oļ¬ences under the Act punishable with
imprisonment for two years.
8. Is it not a fact that Mr. Robert Vadra has not established any project in public
interest nor encouraged investment? Infact he has traded with huge chunks of land of
hundreds of poor farmers for undue enrichment in viola on of law which is clearly
punishable.
