Have proof of corruption in farm debt waiver scheme: Anna Hazare


Nagpur, Mar 17 (PTI): Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare today claimed to have sufficient proofs of alleged irregularities committed in the farmers's loan waiver scheme of the Centre which was brought out by CAG report recently.

"If the state government is interested in going through the proofs, I am willing to hand them over to them," Hazare told reporters here today but did not elaborate about the proofs available with him.

Earlier this month, expressing serious concern over the implementation of Rs 52,000-crore farm debt waiver scheme, government auditor CAG had said in several cases ineligible farmers were given benefit while deserving ones were left out.

Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had also found instances of tampering of records and pulled up the Department of Financial Services in the Finance Ministry for deficient monitoring of the multi-crore scheme.

Hazare alleged that the drought situation in Maharashtra was man made rather than a natural calamity.

The social activist had yesterday also said that the combine of political apathy and corruption, coupled with unchecked exploitation of water resources, was responsible for parched conditions in the state.

"The drought situation is not natural but man-made as we have exploited our water resources to the maximum possible limits without employing scientific methods of water and soil conservation in many years and the result is for everyone to see," he had said.

To a question, Anna said that whether it is Rahul Gandhi or Narendra Modi, both cannot solve the national issues in the country.

He also questioned Modi's opposition to the appointment of Lokayukta in Gujarat.

The state government had opposed the Lokayukta's appointment and challenged it in Supreme Court, however, the apex court recently rejected the Modi government's case.

    Any proof against corruption is not enough because the root of corruption is so deep that no one can touch it...because mostly all are involved.

    It looks like Anna and Kejriwala have proofs of every anamoly in the central Govt.\s but they wait until like CAG announces or some other organisation says so.
    If they had proof of all those why not they just take the Govt. to task? They formed this movement for that reason only, right?!!
    These are opportunists in the guise of good doers.
    Fight against corruption they said, people supported wholeheartedly and
    suddenly things started being different - with Kejri floating political party!!
    Their aim was to float a new party.
    Wanted to see reaction from people as "corruption" as the agenda.
    They saw the very good response from the people and with the gimmick of breaking away Kejri started a AAP`.
    Many of these activists are fake
    My "simple" observation - some here can put this in a better way

    In fact, the top leaders of Congress including the PM had challenged Team Anna to fight Janlokpal bill and corruption inside the parliament and not on streets. India Against Corruption (IAC)where Team Anna was part of it, through On-line voting for its volunteers, 80% of the Volunteers favoured a political party now called Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), where members are not lured by the party but screened about their credentials. That's why the remark on the members as 'fake' is not suited for at least AAP.

    Anna Saheb, no need to approach State Government Officials since they are all corrupts well supported by NCP/Congress combined in Maharashtra. Like Subramaniam doing his job by approaching Supreme or High Court, you may also file case in Mumbai High Court directly. No doubt they are masters in manipulating Government Documents with amendment of required Law to suit their way like Rajasthan and Haryana Government did in Vodra Land Deal Cases. But I am sure somewhere these Sharks can be bundled out. Whole World jumped on Yeddy when he utilized his authority for denotification but same World is mum when it comes to Son-In-Law of Congi Supreme Leader
