BJP Government, black money

BJP Government is under great pressure to release the names of persons who have put black money in foreign accounts. The party which accused the UPA government for not releasing the names are now finding justifications for not releasing the names after coming in to power. There is severe criticism from many quarters on this round about turn.

Now it is Ram Jet Malani, the Senior Supreme Court Advocate who has demanded for release of the list and criticised BJP for not releasing.

As per the election promise, BJP Government should release the name to the public. Otherwise they are breaking and dishonoring their assurances to the people.

Issue White Paper on Black Money, Name the people who hoarded black money – CPI(M)

22 Wednesday Oct 2014

black money, corruption

New Delhi, Oct 22 : CPI(M) today demanded the issuance of a White Paper detailing the amounts of illegal money stashed away abroad and those involved, saying just naming some individuals would not serve any purpose.
Accusing the Narendra Modi government of “going back” on its poll promise of bringing back black money in foreign banks, senior CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury said, “Now the government is saying that through affidavits, it would name some people. But naming some people has already been done in the past and that does not serve any purpose.”
All accounts held by Indians abroad would have to be examined “whether they are legal or illegal and, on that basis, a White Paper has to be prepared on the amount of black money that has been stashed abroad and by whom,” he said.
He was reacting to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s statement that the government would inform the courts about names of some who hold black money in foreign accounts.
“This is what they had promised in the elections and are now going back on it,” the CPI(M) leader said, adding that the government was taking the earlier UPA-II government’s line that international agreements, including the double taxation avoidance treaty with Switzerland, would be breached.
“All through the election campaign, Modi and BJP have been continuously harping on the issue and accusing Congress of protecting those who stashed away huge amounts in various havens, majority of them in Swiss banks, and promising to unearth them. Now they are going back on it,” Yechury said. Terming as “toally unwarranted” Jaitley’s statement that the names to be given to the courts would embarrass Congress, CPI leader D Raja said the BJP government should come out with details of what steps it was taking to bring the money back.
“This unaccounted money illegally stashed away abroad genuinely belongs to the people. The government should show political will to bring it back and not try to score brownie points,” he said.
Whether the names would “embarrass Congress or BJP is not the issue. The issue is who all are in possession of black money. Come forward with the names, D.Raja said.

Black Money – The Slanging Match between Congress and BJP

22 Wednesday Oct 2014

BJP, black money, Congress

The present ruling party BJP and the former ruling party Congress are in a slanging match on the issue of Black Money. BJP in its election propaganda highlighted the need for exposing the names of account holders of black money in foreign banks and criticised Congress for keeping the list secret. BJP after getting power submitted to the Supreme Court that the names of these people can not be released because of the agreement with the foreign countries. When the Congress ridiculed BJP’s stand, BJP has stated that it will announce some names and Congress will be embarrassed. Congress is demanding releasing of all the names.

This battering will go on. But the people want these violators of law and black money holders to be announced and brought to book. Will the BJP Government prepared for that ? Or will they find some more excuses ?

Black Money – BJP follows Congress by not publishing the names of law-breakers

black money

We suspected this.

BJP which declared earlier from the top of the world that they will take stringent action against the persons who have illegally put black money in the Swiss Banks etc. has now stated that they will not publish the names since that would violate existing tax treaties with other countries.

This is exactly what the UPA government also stated. It is now very clear that BJP and Congress are the two sides of the same coin. Both of them do not want the list to be published since it may contain names of corporates who have supported them and contributed to their election funds and of leaders of their party.

This hypocrisy and double talk of the ruling party should be exposed.

Will NDA government take action on Black Money ?

black money, Swiss banks

The report of the committee on Black Money in foreign countries have been submitted to the government. Names of many of the people who have deposited black money in Swiss banks are also with the government.

Is the NDA government dilly-dallying with the information of the black money just like the UPA government ? Or are they prepared to publish them and take drastic action. It is unlikely, since the BJP which came to power has been fully supported by the corporates and big business, who might have put black money in the Swiss banks.

SIT to bring back Black Money – A good decision

27 Tuesday May 2014

black money, SIT

The first decision of the Modi Government constituting a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to bring back black money as directed by the Supreme Court is a good decision. The UPA government dilli-dallied with the SC directive and did not appoint the team, due to well known reasons. Now the Modi Government has constituted the same on the first day itself. Well done.

It is well known that many big business, politicians, bureaucrats etc have put black money in foreign accounts. The continued demand in the Parliament, in the courts etc. did not succeed till the SC directed the government to appoint an SIT. That was also not done earlier. It is clear that many big sharks are going to be caught. Let us wait.

Govt. submits partial list of black money account holders in German bank.

black money, foreign banks

After much criticism by the Supreme Court for not submitting the list of black money holders in foreign banks, the UPA government furnished to the court the names of 18 people, who are all businessmen in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Gujarat etc.and who have accounts in LGT Bank, Germany.

What is more important is that the Government did not release the names of other 8 persons, which are in the list given to the Government by the German Government.

The doubt is only natural. Are these 8 names include top political leaders of the ruling party?
