Jai Gujarat… Jai Bharat
Jai Gujarat Jai Bharat…
in gujart we people always think about nation but in center government in delhi has some thing weired going on.
following to me looks vary suspiciouse. hope some one can investigate more on this..
——
many people forget about Enron.
1991-1992 – India opens its power sector to private foreign investors.
(my concern – man mohan was advisor for Narshinrao goernment)
Feb. 1992 – Enron begins investigating opportunities in the Indian power sector.
May 1992 Enron executives pitch their ideas to the Indian power secretary, who is in the
United States to encourage foreign participation in the Indian power sector.
(my concern – how come he appear right away in 1992 just after india open power sector)
June 1992 Enron and General Electric sign a memorandum of understanding with the
Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) to build the Dabhol project. The
operating entity is the Dabhol Power Company, a joint venture. Enron is the
majority owner, while General Electric and Bechtel each own 10% shares.
(my concern – how come the deal got finalized with in such a sort time? generally this kind of deal/congract take years)
….
….
1998 – NDA goernment in center.
1999 – Enron started prouction
2001 – mahrastra government refused to paid 22 million to enron.
June 2001 – Vice President Cheney of USA raises Dabhol in a meeting with Sonia Gandhi, the
president of India’s opposition Congress Party.
(why he need to meet with sonia gandhi. they suppose to meet to ruling NDA party)
2001 – 9/11
2002 – Gujarat violation
2004 – congess win the election..
don’t you think all above event has some connection?
if you want the enron detail event you can verify at following link
finance-mba.com/Dabhol_fact_sheet.pdf
please read 2002 – Gujarat violation = 2002 – Gujarat riot
to me 2002 riot was orchestrated by external people with help of sonia and her team to kick out NDA and bring congress + man mohan into center.(why you can now guess) that is why how all indian media is against NDA and favor of congress all the time., (use money people can speak any thing)
great, ‘jay gujarat’,'vande gujarat’
Is it just me or anybody here feels that it doesn’t looks like new from any angel or the paint and things are still required to be done before it is actually in function??
Jay Jay Garvi Gujarat…
