TSUNAMI SWINDLER

The Chairman on the Sub Committee of
Tsunami Relief under Parliamentary Standing
Committee of Ministry of Home Affairs,
Government of India, Mr.V.Narayanaswamy

down, but your voices have been unheard, where
it must have evoked due response. The
Comptroller ad Audit General of India, deputes
his regional commanders to audit the accounts of
this union territory and they have been doing
their work not to the satisfaction of the general
public. Though we wont say they failed
miserably we must point out that there is an
urgent need to depute a high level audit
committee drawn from central pool to audit the
already audited accounts of the Union Territory
of Puducherry since 2001 till date coinciding
with the tenure of current Chief Minister
N.Rangaswamy.

kind to the affected families. There was no
comprehensive action plan to utilize funds
received from Government of India.

than a decade and which had fought many battles
for just causes, with anguish brings to your notice
the autocratic behavior of Puducherry Chief
Minister Hon'ble N.Rangasamy, as if he is ruling
a princely state in colonial era. Behind the guise
of appearance of innocence and the mask of
simplicity remains the hidden the real man with
no vision for the state and no plans to make a
better future for our people.

takes shape. There are established canons of law
and laid down in procedure about the
implementation of schemes with financial
implications. You may be aware that postings of
Indian Administrative Officers at the control of
Puducherry Government have 4 exceptions.
Chief Secretary, Development Commissioner,
Secretary Finance and Law Secretary are always
under the posting control of Home Ministry.
Other Secretaries are placed under the disposal of
the UT Government. Whereas in Puducherry for
quite sometime especially from the period of
Hon'ble N.Rangasamy, these norms have been
given a go by. For this the Former Chief
Secretary was totally responsible colluding with
the Chief Minister to float all established norms
of good governance. The nexus between then
Chief Minister and Chief Secretary who finds
place in CVC archives, made the subordinate
bureaucrats to behave as yes men and to go scot-
free and violating all procedures in files and
proposals.

PIPDIC has got 26 % share. for that 26 %
Puducherry Government had acquired 360 acres
of agricultural land, remaining 74 % shares has
been allotted to Messrs Kothari and Messrs Metal
whereas both companies are not investing any
physical investment. Now the Government is
trying to transfer the acquired land from PIPDIC
to the Puducheery Sez Co Ltd without following
any procedures. The present Chief Secretary had
not approved the proposal for the simple reason
the non-investment of the shareholders will
ultimately end in real estate business.

allocations for reasons best known to them. The
financial implication has been credited from
Social Welfare Department fund for which they
have not obtained prior sanction from GOI. The
Govt has not followed any system for the
purchase of this huge quantity of rice. The
suppliers are close associates of CM and involve
huge kick back.

No houses were built to the fishermen who faced
the fury of Nature. Dravida Peravai urges you to
direct a high level probe on the Tsunami swindle
here and to unravel the truth.

Cabinet to form the basis of suitable action apart
from the charges listed above.

absence of right to recall, elected representatives
stabbing the people's expectations behind their
back, in order to amass ill-gotten wealth.

be spent. This is using public money to buy the
silence of all the legislative members, and to
deny the people of respective constituencies their
legitimate right to be heard through their
representatives. This is seducing all parties and
making them corrupt. This is bypassing the
administration and to establish parallel
administration. This is prelude to convert
Puducherry into a princely state, where the King
can dispose moneys as he wishes, without having
any due respect to the Comptroller and Auditor
General of India. This is to run Puducherry as
feudal state and not as a union territory
accountable to Center.

assistance for fishermen etc. Will the
Government of India bring out a White paper on
how this money was spent in Puducherry? When
Tsunami struck Karaikal region and
Nagapattinam of Tamilnadu, the most of the
moneys should have gone there. But it never
went. Under the Right to Information Act, an
activist of Consumer Forum in Karaikal had been
asking for the quantum of money received by
government for tsunami and how it was spent.
All authorities as per the hierarchy that is fixed to
answer questions under Right to Information act
had given only expenses figures; never had they
given the figures of the amount received. Is it a
state secret? Mr.Nallusamy, the senior citizen of
the Consumer Forum is tirelessly knocking the
doors after one after one office, till about
Karaikal region everything remains shrouded in
secrecy.

While Union Government publication makes tall
claims being misled by N.Rangasamy
government, The Center for Fisher folk's
Empowerment in a representation to Union
Home Minister dated 20.01.2007 states: "In
Puducherry region there are 15 fishing villages.
Out of this, the N.Rangasamy Government has
taken steps to build houses only in 5 villages
even after a lapse of 2 years that too with the
funds provided by NGO's and Government of
Maharashtra. The total number of houses needed
for these 15 villages are 7350, but the
N.Rangasamy Government proposes to build
only 4074 houses, whereas the Press Information
Bureau publication claims 8125 houses are to be
built. Who is fooling whom? Whether the Center
is being fooled by N.Rangasamy Government to
extract money from World Bank for 8125 houses
but actually planning to construct only 4074
houses, thereby trying to loot the balance. ? It is
for you to read in between the lines, the famous
phrase of Kuldip Nayyar.

currently holding Chief Minister's chair of this
Union Territory, the Karaikal District unit of
Dravida Peravai had published a pamphlet listing
out how transparently the Prime Minister of
India's web sites are providing information on
Tsunami funds thereby proving beyond an iota of
doubt that the hands, heart and mind of the Indian
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is clean. At the
same time we have exposed how the Puducherry
Governments web sites are suppressing facts and
hiding details.

to know Tsunami accounts, and what replies they
had given so far.

every rupee marked for the people only 15 paise
reaches them, Rajiv Gandhi had lamented. Here
how much went and where it went cannot be a
matter of statements by parties like us and Chief
Minister's rebuttals. Center has agencies like
CPWD, which can assess, and no one is more fit
than the subcommittee of Rajyasabha to order for
a probe by CPWD on Tsunami Houses in Union
Territory of Puducherry.

walked away with the relief. Our Cheap Minister,
sorry Chief Minister who had become cheap in
public esteem thrives by keeping opposition in
good humor, and amidst bravado in day time, the
AIADMK leader will always be seen in Chief
Minter's company, acting as his spokesperson
targeting against inner party enemies of the Chief
Minister. May be AIADMK Supremo must have
give exemption to this legislator to openly defend
ruling party, whereas AIADMK in Tamilnadu is
proving every day to be an opposition here. By
manipulation here opposition leader of media
hype will be midnight accomplice of Wrong
Asaamy in Tamil, Wrong Swamy
N.Rangaswamy. In recent websites the list of
immediate beneficiaries who got 5000 each is
provided running into more than 100 pages after
our party criticized the web sites in our pamphlet
attached. There it must be pointed out why on
large sums disposed there is silence, and why
government is seeking more funds even while it
cannot explain the 1600 crore's expenditure.
