    ——

    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?

    please read 2002 – Gujarat violation = 2002 – Gujarat riot

  5. db says:

    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)
