Rahul Gandhi Fraud: Redistribution of Wealth after Caste and Financial and Institutional Surveys
Rahul Gandhi has committed the most heinous fraud on modern India by unequivocally calling for the caste census to be undertaken to know the exact population and status of backward castes SCs, STs, minorities and other castes, if the party is voted to power.
More dangerous is his call for the financial and institutional survey to execute historic steps to distribute the wealth of India, jobs and other welfare schemes to these sections (backward castes, SCs, STs, minorities and other castes) based on their population.
Leaders, genuine leaders, must lead from the front by setting personal examples. So, Rahul Gandhi, his mother Sonia Gandhi and the Vadra family must first declare their “REAL Assets Value” instead of official market rate values (at least 4-5 times lower). Then, they must voluntarily distribute their wealth to the poor and needy in their respective constituencies.
Fresh data out on top politicians' assets; here are account details of some of them. The total value of assets held by Sonia Gandhi stands at Rs 12.53 crores. It is well known about Sonia Gandhi's rise, née Maino, the daughter of a Tuscan building contractor, from small-town of Orbassano, seven miles from Italy's busy metropolis of Turin, postwar Italy to the 10 Jan path – the Uncrowned Empress of India.
A report by Huffington Post World in Dec 2013on the richest world leaders which placed Sonia Gandhi (with a net worth of USD 2 billion) above Queen Elizabeth, Sultan of Oman, Prince of Monaco and Sheikh of Kuwait has sparked a controversy. On Gandhi's wealth, the website says, "Sonia Gandhi is the President of the Indian National Congress and has a net worth of $2 billion. Sonia Gandhi has made her net worth from her many years in politics and was the longest serving President in the past 125 years. She was born in Lusiana, Veneto, Italy and has been involved in politics for over 13 years."
However, there is no public information available regarding Gandhi's wealth that could have helped the website arrive at the USD 2 billion figure.
Rahul Gandhi disclosed assets in an affidavit submitted with his nomination, including Rs 55,000 cash, Rs 4.3 crore in stock market investments, Rs 3.81 crore in mutual fund deposits, and Rs 26.25 lakh in a bank account. He reported an income of Rs 1.02 crore in 2022-23. The Congress leader earned an income of Rs 1.02 crore in 2022-23. He also owns immovable property to the tune of Rs 11.15 crore, including commercial buildings and land, both agricultural and non-agricultural. The Congress leader also holds gold bonds worth Rs 15.2 lakh. He has also invested in insurance policies, National Savings Schemes, Postal Savings and other places worth Rs 61.52 lakh.
The Congress leader has invested in Suprajit Engineering, Infosys, Titan, TCS, Nestle India, Alkyl Amines Chemicals Ltd, Asian Paints, Deepak Nitric, HUL, ICICI, Info Edge, and others. In Mutual Funds, his major investments lie in ICICI Prudential Reg Savings-G, PPFAS FCF D-growth, HDFC Hybrid Debt Fund-G and others. Companies House, a UK government department, had confirmed that Backops, a private company, was set up in the UK by Rahul Gandhi in 2003.
Next, Robert Vadra, who comes from a brass and wood handicraft merchant's family, is married to Sonia Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi's daughter Priyanka Gandhi. Robert Vadra's wealth grew from Rs 50 lakh to over Rs 300 crore in three years as per Kejriwal‘s statement in 2012 along with Prashant Bhusan at the height of India Against Corruption (IAC) movement. Robert Vadra allegedly indulged in large-scale corruption in real estate dealings. In a highly speculated press conference, the IAC members alleged Robert Vadra's wealth grew from Rs 50 lakh to over Rs 300 crore in three years. Prashant Bhushan said the balance sheets of five companies set up by Vadra and his mother show that the "total share capital of these companies was just Rs 50 lakh".
As of 2023, there are differing estimates of Robert Vadra’s net worth. Some sources suggest that his wealth is valued at approximately $2.1 billion, primarily attributed to his investments in real estate. Arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari, alleged associate of Robert Vadra purchased a mansion in London for 1.9 million pounds from the UK Company. The mansion was purchased with the help of purchase shares of Bhandari's company- Vortex.
According to information available on the website myneta.info, Mallikarjuna Kharge’s total assets (including movable and immovable assets) amount to more than Rs 20 crore, with total liabilities exceeding Rs 23 lakh. In terms of movable assets, Kharge has a total of Rs 2,82,20,806, while his wife possesses movable assets totaling more than Rs 81 lakh, and his dependent (Dependent 1) has assets exceeding Rs 16 lakh. Combined, their total movable assets amount to Rs 3, 79, 75,654 (approximately Rs 4 crore).
Not to be left over are the Ministers of Karnataka Congress Party, who are also all crorepatis, with average assets worth Rs 229.27 crore. AICC president Mallikarjuna Kharge's son Priyank has declared the lowest assets in the list, with Rs 16.83 crore. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has retained his spot as the wealthiest MLA with assets worth Rs 1413.8 crore.
Can they all do it? First, practice before you preach is the idiom the needs to be followed by those claiming to be leaders! So, the Congress “High Command” must first direct the Congress Party ruling Karnataka and Telangana must immediately implement the redistribution of wealth of their political leaders and also the Wakf Board properties.
Let me in retrospect forewarn “We the Gullible People of India” that the proposed “Wealth redistribution based on Caste Census to determine backward castes, SCs, STs, Minorities and others will only plunge the nation in utter chaos and confusion resulting in disintegration of modern India.
For example, communist revolutions in Russia and China based on Karl Marx and Lenin ideology resulted in dictatorship and failed to implement redistribution of wealth. In Russia, there are 82 billionaires with Putin heading the list. As of 2023, China had 495 billionaires.
Furthermore, according to the 2023 Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), 3.9% of China's population, or 55,396,000 people are poor. An additional 17.4% of China's population, or 248,768,000 people, are vulnerable to multidimensional poverty. In 2023, 13.5 million people in Russia lived below the poverty line.
To sum up, the sudden classical shift to communist ideology of 18th and 19th centuries of modern India is certainly plunge the nation into a “Doom” scenario. “We the People of India” must out rightly dismiss Rahul Gandhi’s retrograde step that is contra national security interests. If the Congress Party wanted to implement such a step, they should have done it way back in 1960s when Indira Gandhi gave clarion call of “Garibhi Hatao” or when Man Mohan Singh also voiced favoring such a shift in 2004.
