[Goanet]Pre-employment scheme, a false and impractical exercise
SHANTARAM NAIK Ex-M.P. (Ex-President, Goa PCC) 2137, Near Swami Math, Gogol, Margao 403 602 Tel: 0832-2759555 9822159161 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 19th March,2005 PRE-EMPLOYMENT FRAUD- CHOR MACHAYE SHOR PRESS NOTE Mr. Shantaram Naik Ex-M.P. and former President of Goa PCC said in a statement issued today that Mr Manohar Parrikar, Ex-Chief Minister, has to be exposed by the present administration of the Goa Governor for introducing a fraudulent pre-employment scheme, deliberately knowing it to be a false and impractical exercise. The new administration should, while assuring the victims of Mr. Parrikar's rash and negligent act, should not allow itself to be put in the dock and instead , without mincing the words, inform the youth as to a how a head of the Government tried to fool them for the last one year. In fact, it is a tragedy that those who are likely to suffer after the hollowness in the scheme became known, and as a result of which the Governor had to put an end to the Scheme, are seeking relief from the Governor under the leadership of Mr. Parrikar who is himself the culprit in the matter and, against whom, a prima facie case for u/s 418 (cheating with knowledge that wrongful loss may ensue to person whose interest offender is bound to protect) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy ) of the Indian Penal Code is clearly established. Mr. Naik said Mr. Parrikar's act can be compared to a number of cases which we across daily in Goa wherein bogus recruitment agents lure young boys in the State to apply to them promising jobs abroad, with, ultimately, agents turning out to be frauds. In this case of pre-employment fraud, it is as if the agent himself pleading the case of his own victims with other authorities, to divert their attentions from his own fraudulent and dubious acts, Mr Naik adds. It is again, Mr. Naik says , in a criminal offence involving murder, the very murderer accompanying the police all the time during their visit to the site pretending to help the police, ultimately turning out to be the culprit. It is a case of Chor Machaye Shor, he said. Mr. Naik said that the Congress Party had warned the people from day one that the scheme was a bogus scheme as the existing limited potentiality of the job opportunities in the State Government, was known, even to a child in the street. It is like a cinema theatre owner selling tickets even after the show is full, he said. Mr. Naik , citing another instance, said, Mr Parrikar tried to play with the destiny of the thousands of Goans , the specially people from weaker sections of the society, by introducing Ambedker Awas Yojana when, the then BJP Government had neither any land in their possession for allotment, nor had they identified any nor were they aware as to how much land would be required for the purpose.

[Goanet]BJP LEADERS SIPHONED OFF 1000 CRORES IN FOUR YEARS
SHANTARAM NAIKEx-M.P., (Ex-President,Goa PCC) 2137, Near Swami Math, Gogol, Margao, Goa 403 602 Te: 0832-2759555 9822159161 E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] 25th February,2005 BJP LEADERS SIPHONED OFF 1000 CRORES IN FOUR YEARS PRESS NOTE Mr. Shantaram Naik Ex-M.P. and former President of Goa PCC said in a statement today that in the last 4 years of BJP rule, BJP leaders have siphoned of and pocketed more than 1000 crores of public money out of the development funds through kickbacks, by artificial tender amount inflation, by tendering contracts to fake companies, by adopting fraud procedures like expression of interest and , by approving sub-standard constructions for monetary considerations. Mr. Naik said that on every development project, BJP leaders ensured a cut of minimum 30% through various modalities and, some of the projects were undertaken more for the purposes of cuts and commissions than for the benefit of the people. Mr. Naik said that according to him around 50 major cases involving offences of criminal breach of trust, cheating, forgery ,misappropriation and not less than 200 other cases of the same nature involving lesser funds and smaller properties will be discovered if 4 years of BJP rule , is examined objectively and scrutinized with standard methods of calculations and accountancy. Mr. Naik said that the new Government should not only order CBI inquiry in each of such major cases but, should also, constitute a Commission of Inquiry with broad terms of reference to inquire into the functioning of the Government in violation of constitutional provisions, local statutes and business rules of the government and for suggesting ways and means for providing an in-built mechanism to thwart defiance of rule of law on the part of an administration. Mr. Naik said BJP's theory of Power through vitamin M made the party and their leaders go on a spree to achieve their 'goals' and 'extract' vitamin 'M', left and right. However, BJP leaders were shrewd enough to distract peoples' mind from their own black deeds by making corruption charges and instituting inquiry commissions against congress leaders, Mr. Naik said. Mr. Naik said that BJP invested as many as 90 lakhs to buy centrally air- conditioned office premises for their party to bring in some sort of 'purity' in their deeds by saying that they spend their booty for the party , when in fact, what is spent for party assets or activities is only a tip of the iceberg. Mr. Naik said that the object behind former BJP government undertaking constructions like new patto bridge, constructions on the banks of mandovi river and constructions like multiplex, illegally, in defiance with construction and environmental laws was that, the BJP wanted to make hay when sun shines and, therefore, perhaps might have thought that if they were to wait for procedural formalities, the scope for commissions would get minimized. Mr. Naik said that the former Chief Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar's another venture is going to be a saffron daily to be published from Panaji in the next few months . This daily's objective is to project Mr. Parrikar's image to the extent of giving an impression to the BJP workers that without Mr. Parrikar BJP does not exist in Goa, Mr. Naik added. Whether BJP is able to see the game-plan of Mr.Parrikar, time alone will indicate, Mr. Naik added. (SHANTARAM NAIK)
[Goanet]Fw: ADVANI DESTROYED VERY CRUX OF CONSTITUTION WHAT TO SPEAK OF ART.164
- SHANTARAM NAIK Ex-M.P. (Former President of Goa PCC) 2137, Near Swami Math, Gogol, Margao,Goa 403 602 Tel:0832-2759555 9822159161 E-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 17th Feb.,2005 ADVANI TRIED TO DEMOLISH ENTIRE CONSTITUTIONAL FABRIC WHAT TO SPEAK OF ART. 164 ? FOR THE FAVOUR OF PUBLICATION Mr. Shantaram Naik Ex-M.P. and former President of Goa PCC said that the BJP President and former Home Minister Shri L.K. Advani has no moral right to speak of the so called violation of the Constitution by the Goa Governor when Mr. Advani himself was charge-sheeted for violating the entire crux of the constitution for his involvement in the demolition of the Babri Masjid. Mr. Naik said that BJP leaders like Mr. Advani, time and again have violated the golden principle of secularism enshrined in the constitution by instigating people on religious and communal grounds, and that, their hatred towards minority community in this country is quite notorious . They have never shown any respect to the Constitution of India and therefore, Advani's expressing concern for the provisions of the Constitution, is nothing but a case of devil quoting scriptures, he said. Mr. Naik, referring to Mr. Murli Manohar Joshi, former Union Minister for Human Resource Development , who, he said, also talked of constitutional niceties , during his recent visit to Goa in connection with BJP's Jamir Hatao agitation, said that when Mr. Joshri wanted to play fraud against the entire history of the country by saffronising education and by eulogizing Nathuram Godse and denigrating Mahatma Gandhi, have no business to talk of political morality. If Joshi had survived as a Minister for Human Resource Development, he would have more damage to the country by his notions than the terrorists have done in recent past, Mr. Naik said. Speaking of BJP leader and former Union Minister for Petroleum Mr. Ram Naik , Mr. Naik said that it goes to the 'credit' of Mr. Ram Naik for having 'gifted' to the nation the biggest scam of NDA regime , namely, the Petrolium Scam, in which , thousands of Petrol Pumps were given to BJP cronies illegally, unconstitutionally and immorally through corruption, nepotism and favouritism . Where was Mr. Naik love for constitution gone when he was giving birth to that gigantic scandal, Mr. Naik questions. Mr. Naik said those who propose to invoke provisions of Constitution should be ones who have proved their regard for its provision . Mr. Naik said during the last ten days BJP leaders who descended down on Goa, were most unfit to give lectures to Goans on constitutional provisions, he said. Mr. Naik said that it is well known fact that BJP's ultimate goal is not to have rule in the country as per the provisions of the constitution but, their dream role for the country to scrap the constitution, throw it in the dustbin of history and have a fascist rule headed by BJP, Viswa Hindu Parishad, and RSS. And, still, these are the people who swear by constitutional provisions, Mr. Naik wondered. (SHANTARAM NAIK)
[Goanet]Cost of Goa's new multiplex in real terms

Ex-President, Goa PCC, 2137, Near Swami Math, Gogol,Margao 403 602 0832-2759555 9822159161 19th Nov.2004 600 PRIMARY SCHOOLS 500 HEALTH CENTRES,200 Kms OF ROADS MEANS MULTIPLEX How much Goa has lost by way of developmental projects, with the Goa Government having invested Rs 30 crores (Rs 300 million) to build cinema theatres (multiplex), in Panaji Goa, when no Chief Minister of any State in our country would ever do so at the cost of much needed investments in health, sanitation, education, electricity roads etc? With thirty crores rupees, the government could have built an hospital like Victor Apollo in Margao which was erected at a cost 20 crores only. Government could have constructed 600 Primary Schools or 500 health centers or more than 200 kms of road at the same cost of 30 crores. A chief minister who does not understand the basics of priorities in a developing country, must be rated No 1 from the bottom in any performance evaluation exercise and Goa Chief Minister, perhaps may achieve that feat, soon. Those who get carried away by the glitter of multiplex at Panaji fail to understand that the project has not only robbed poor and middle class Goans, but that, their loss has been doubled as the project, ordinarily could not have cost not more than 15 crores. To complete the process of participation of the Goa Government by way of investment of public money in an unprecedented manner in an uncalled for project, the Chief Minister should now post his ministers as ticket-checkers at the four theatres in the multiplex building.

[Goanet]Judicial inquiry needed into Hollywood theatre tragedy
## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## SHANTARAM NAIK Ex-M.P.

Mr. Naik said that the pressure politics involved in the matter can come to light only through a judicial inquiry. Mr. Naik said that the matter assumes significance as District Magistrate had given licence , that too, a joint licence to M/S Osia Multiplex for two threatres Bollywood and Hollywood although , Director of Fire Emergency Services refused to give NOC to the premises on grounds that there were neither Passive Fire Protection measures nor any active Fire Defence system in the building and further, it did not comply with the width of staircase stipulated in National Building Code,1983 besides on other grounds. Mr. Naik said if the theatre was to catch fire after the inauguration of the theatre on 10th November, hundreds of spectators would have died a tragic death. Therefore, Mr. Naik said, those who are directly or indirectly responsible for criminal negligence, should be prosecuted by the police ,immediately, without falling pray to the pressure by higher-ups. Mr. Naik said that Congress as also NCP had pointed out to the Government about the illegalities involved in the construction of Panaji Multiplex Building but, the Chief Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar personally attended the Panaji PDA meeting to grant NOC to the project. Mr. Naik in his statement further says that the M/S Osia Multiplex did not make any application for building a permanent cinema building as required by and under Rule 17 of the Goa Cinematograph Rules 1965 and had applied straight away for licence to exhibit films. Mr. Naik said that the District Magistrate on 1st November has given license to M/s Osia Multiplex for Cinema threatres in a building which was never built or intended to be a theatre. Strangely also, one common licence has been given to both the theatres Southern Planning a Development Authority or the Margao Municipal Council cannot give a licence to build a permanent cinema building under Rule 17 of the Goa Cinematograph Rules 1965 for which separate application to the District Magistrate is a must. It is not known whether the District Magistrate had visited the site before giving license . Had it been so, Mr. Naik says, many objectionable things would have been noticed by him. Since the magistrate has also not mentioned of his any visit in his order dated 29th October, 2004 , which preceded the giving of licence in Form 'D' as required by law, it is presumed that there was no such visit. When the Magistrate was dealing with a question which concerned life and death of the cine-goers, it was the bounden duty of the Magistrate to verify the things and make a report with respect to the same, Mr. Naik says. Besides, it was not clear as to why the Judgement dated 29th October is in the name of Additional District Magistrate whereas the Form D was signed by District Magistrate. Under the Act, Licensing Authority is Distrrict Magistarte but the government can specify any other authority as District Magistrate for the purpose but there has to be a notification which should referred to in the document of License, Mr. Naik said. People of Goa are now anxious to know whether the Chief Minister is going to attend the inauguration ceremony of other theatre Bollywood, which escaped the tragedy, on 10th November as claimed by the owner of the theatres disregarding life and safety of citizens.
