Elderly don't get pension without paying bribes

Elderly don't get pension without paying bribes
Mahalingam PonnusamyMahalingam Ponnusamy | Aug 27, 2011, 02.58AM IST


CHENNAI: It's taken two years and 50 trips to government offices but 67-year-old G Namachivayam still hasn't got his old-age pension.

He says he is tired of visiting the Purasawalkam taluk office and the Collector's office on Rajaji Salai. "My application is being delayed because I refuse to pay the bribe of Rs 4,000," he said. "The officials have done their verification, but I was asked to pay a bribe through touts. I refused. So I have to keep making trips to meet officials," he said.

For people like Namachivayam, Anna Hazare is a hero. Hundreds of senior citizens have been waiting for years to get their pension from the Purasawalkam division. M Raniyammal, 65, said, "Officials visited my house a few months ago, but I still haven't got my pension. I see well-off people living in private apartments getting old-age pension."

Sources in the collector's office premises said about 50 touts operate on campus. "You can get anything from the office if you are ready to pay. Most officers do not accept applications directly from the elderly. They are in league with the touts," said V R A Viswanath, an RTI activist.

There are also complaints that pension does not reach on time. C Vasanthakumari, a beneficiary, said: "I have not got pension for the past eight months. I have gone to the taluk office several times and even paid a bribe." But she does not want to complain as she is afraid of losing the benefit permanently.

"We can't eradicate corruption from our system but we are strict with touts. We have ordered raids and their arrest," said district revenue officer K A Annamalai.

Another complaint is that postmen who deliver the pension demand Rs 20 to Rs 40. The CBI recently arrested 11 postmen. "Most postmen deduct Rs 20 to Rs 40 as commission before giving pension to the beneficiaries. In Chennai district, there are 2.36 lakh pensioners under the OAP scheme. The surprise check on Monday was confined to the disbursement of pension to 52,000 pensioners in three post offices," said V Gopalakrishnan of Fact India.

"We are introducing a system through which pension will be paid into a bank account rather than through the post offices," Annamalai said.

Indian National Congress, RTI query


http://www.indianexpress.com/news/in-8-yrs-cong-income-up-by-seven-times/837785/0

In 8 yrs, Cong income up by seven times

Gopu Mohan Tags : Indian National Congress, RTI query, financial health, V Gopalakrishnan, income tax documents Posted: Sat Aug 27 2011, 01:13 hrs Chennai:

What can power do to a political party’s financial health? Quite a lot, it seems. An RTI query by a Chennai-based activist shows that the income of India’s longest-ruling national party, the Indian National Congress, increased from Rs 69.55 crore in 2002-03 to a whopping Rs 467.57 crore in 2010-11.


Documents accessed by activist V Gopalakrishnan show that the jump is even more evident when figures from 2003-04 are compared with the next financial year, 2004-05 — the period when the UPA-I assumed power at the Centre.


The Congress’s income during this period grew from Rs 61.49 crore to Rs 153.03 crore, a 150 per cent growth in just one year. Again, from Rs 220.82 crore in 2008-09, its total income rose to 496.87 crore in 2009-10 — more than double — a period during which it fought and won a second general election.


The voluminous income tax documents show that in the last financial year, the party received Rs 95.90 crore as donations and Rs 326.71 crore as collection from sale of coupons, besides money received as rent, interest on deposits, membership fees and application fees.

The list of donors include a number of infrastructure firms, including those involved in construction, power generation, cement, telecommunications, chemicals, engineering, coal, vehicle manufacturing and at least one media holding company. Sterlite Industries, belonging to Vedanta Group, whose project is facing problems in Orissa, is also among the donors.

The list also includes individual donors, starting from party president Sonia Gandhi (who donated Rs 79,068 by way of two cheques of UCO Bank, New Delhi); and including Sachin Pilot (Rs 60,000); K Rahman Khan (Rs 24,000); M S Gill (Rs 32,000), Oscar Fernandes (Rs 23,000); Prithviraj Chavan (Rs 24,000); and S M Krishna (Rs 38,500) among others.


Curiously, there are big ticket donations by electoral trusts, the addresses of which indicate that these belong to Indian industry behemoths.

Incidentally, one of the donors, an NRI businessman named Sunny Varkey, received Padma Shri award in 2009, a year after he had contributed Rs 1 crore through a bank in Bangalore.

Allocations Will Be Cancelled: Min


TIMES NEWS NETWORK



Chennai: The Tamil Nadu housing and urban development minister R Vaithilingam on Friday alleged that former DMK ministers, police officials and party functionaries had caused huge loss to the state ex-chequer while purchasing houses and land across the state under a government scheme.
He said a total of 300 houses of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board meant for government employees had been converted as housing projects under the public quota and allocated to family members of DMK chief M Karunanidhi and his loyalists. The minister assured the assembly that a probe would be conducted to identify these allocations. He said such allotments would be cancelled and houses will re-allotted to government employees.
Based on the housing board’s replies to RTI queries of an activist, the media published details of irregularities in the allocation of houses and plots under the Government Discretionary Quota (GDQ). Activists moved the high court against the alleged illegal allotments. In July, under the AIADMK government, the directorate of vigilance and anti-corruption registered a case against former state intelligence chief ADGP MS Jaffar Sait, his wife and daughter, and raided premises belonging to him and his associates, who included the son of governor SS Barnala and son of Karunanidhi’s former political secretary K Rajamanickam.
The minister said that DMK bigwigs, including former minister Arcot Veerasamy and K Ponmudi, illegally purchased TNHB land at low costs, violating the rules. The minister alleged that the DMK government had allotted four plots meant for low income group to Sait, who had constructed a building and sold it illegally.
A HIG plot at a Sholinganallur housing project was allocated to MK Alagiri’s son Durai Alagiri, who has been referred to as a social worker, the housing minister said.

TN governor barnala

Raj Bhavan’s refusal to share information irks RTI activists
Mahalingam PonnusamyMahalingam Ponnusamy, TNN | Aug 16, 2011, 07.19AM IST


CHENNAI: Three separate Right to Information petitions filed with the Raj Bhavan here have received responses stating that "the requested information is not available in this office," irking the activists concerned.

While one wanted to know if the governor had a special quota in state-owned universities and in job placements in government offices, another sought information pertaining to any business transactions between universities and companies owned by the son of Tamil Nadu governor Surjit Singh Barnala and the third demanded information about visitors to Raj Bhavan.

C Arul Ramalingam, who sought information on any special quota for the governor in universities and in placements at government offices, said, "The reply from Raj Bhavan simply said that information requested was not available." He had also asked, in the same petition, for copies of the oaths taken by the governor and chief minister but didn't get them, he said. "According to the State Records Act, copies of the oath must be sent to libraries and museums," Ramalingam added.

V Gopalakrishnan, another RTI activist who wanted to know the business transactions between universities and companies owned by the Governor's son, said: "As per Section 6 (3) of the RTI Act, if the recipient of an RTI query does not have the necessary information, he has to direct it to the department concerned. But if officials in Raj Bhavan don't forward such queries to those concerned than how can those in smaller offices follow ?" "We have strong evidence about the transactions, but we want to know whether the governor is aware since he is the chancellor of universities in the state," Gopalakrishnan added.

Barnala Bats for Son
Surjit Singh Barnala faces charge of getting son's firm university contracts

Lakshmi Subramanian Edition: August 29, 2011


Governor Surjit Singh BarnalaSurjit Singh Barnala has been embroiled in a conflict of interest controversy roughly two months after his scheduled term as Tamil Nadu governor ended. Awaiting a new nominee who will succeed him, Barnala is alleged to have influenced universities and colleges in the state to procure surveillance cameras and examination automation software between 2006 and 2010 from his son Jasjit Singh Barnala's company Barnas International. As governor, Barnala is chancellor of all state universities.

Barnas International's office in Chennai was raided by Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) officials on July 26. DVAC sources said they have secured evidence of the governor's office favouring Jasjit's firm on the supply of products to universities and colleges across the state.

India Today has copies of the documents. They clearly state that 40 per cent of Barnas's earnings is from supplying cameras and examination automation software to universities and colleges. Though 133 companies, from hospitals to hotels and retail outlets to garment showrooms, figure on the firm's client list, more than 40 per cent of its clients are colleges and state universities, including seven schools, 25 private colleges, nine state universities and 16 departments of Anna University.


Jasjit Singh BarnalaBarnas is the sole distributor of products from Hong Kong-based audio-visual company TeleEye. Jasjit is the chairman and managing director (CMD) of the company. Barnala aide M. Najimudeen is its director.

"This is a clear case of conflict of interest and of the chancellor's office bending the university system. Because of its close proximity to the chancellor, Barnas has ensured that all state universities buy cameras and automation software from it," says S. Krishnaswamy, the convenor of the Tamil Nadu Federation of Universities' Faculty Associations.


The Barnas office in ChennaiThe equipment sold by Barnas to the educational institutions was priced low to avoid the tender process. The Tamil Nadu Tender Transparency Act, 1998, gives heads of university departments the authority to directly purchase a product if it is below Rs 5 lakh without floating a tender. Recorded minutes of a meeting held by the Madurai Kamaraj University Syndicate on September 24, 2009, accessed by India Today, state that Barnas was entrusted with automation work of the examination process at a cost of Rs 4.95 lakh. Every product sold to universities by the firm is priced below Rs 5 lakh.

"There is no centralised body in state universities to make bulk purchases. This paves the way for such irregularities," says a former technical adviser for World Bank Projects for the Tamil Nadu government.

Dr R. Radhakrishnan, the former vice-chancellor of Anna University in Coimbatore, who was suspended on charges of corruption, claims he was pressurised by Barnala's office to purchase the cameras and software: "I was suspended only because I did not bow to the chancellor's office."

Raj Bhavan sources claim that the governor has been deliberately pulled into this controversy because the J. Jayalalithaa-led government does not want him to continue-his tenure ended on June 19. Jayalalithaa's political rival, DMK chief M. Karunanidhi, and Barnala are known to be close. "The governor has every right to continue in office till the Union Government nominates another person," says a Raj Bhavan official.

Jasjit floated his company in 2006 in Chandigarh with a share capital of Rs 8 lakh, according to records with the Registrar of Companies. In 2010, its reserves went up to Rs 50.47 lakh.

N. Shivaji Rao, Vice-President, Operations, Barnas International, says the firm always goes through the tender process and supplies products only if it is awarded the tender. "We have not used any influence anywhere to supply our products. Ours are quality products," he says. "Universities and colleges comprise just 20 per cent of our clientele. There is no conflict of interest. We have been dragged into such controversies only because our CMD's father is the governor," he adds. The documents tell a different story, especially on Barnas's claim that it always chooses the tender route and that colleges and universities constitute only 20 per cent of its clientele.

Replying to a query filed under the Right to Information Act on Barnas's transactions with various universities, Barnala's Deputy Secretary K. Vivekanandan said, "None of the information required by you is available with this office."
