The Collusion Among the Business Tycoons, BJP and the “Underworld”

After the revelation of the Flashnet Scam⤡, where, in 2018, Mr. Ajay Piramal bought BJP Union Minister Mr. Piyush Goyal’s company at 1000 times its face-value (In percentage terms, the premium was nearly 100,000%!) and later sold it off within a few months, there is another big scam that has come to the fore: The Aviation scam as well as the PMC Bank Scam, perpetrated by Mr. Praful Patel, who belongs to that faction of the NCP (Ajit Pawar group), which is now part-and-parcel of the BJP-led NDA since July 2023.
Though on 17th October, 2019, Mr. Piyush Goyal justifiably accused Mr. Patel of fraudulent transactions in collusion with the wife of underworld gangster late Iqbal Mirchi. Interestingly enough, in the beginning of that very same year, Cobrapost on 29.01.2019, reported a collusion/nexus amidst the BJP, Dawood Ibrahim, Iqbal Mirchi, Dheeraj Realty and the DHFL ⤡ ⤡, wherein the DHFL was put under the ill-conceived IBC in December 2019 and later forcibly “given” (in terms of an alleged adverse possession) to Mr. Ajay Piramal in September 2021 by following the lowest quasi-judicial body’s verdict on 07.06.2021.
It is no wonder that despite such allegations made by Mr. Goyal and the CBI-ED actions on the “Patel Aviation and PMC Bank Scam”, Mr. Patel has recently on 28.03.2024 got a “clean chit” (a closure of the corruption case against him has taken place) from the CBI (the CBI made a case against Mr. Patel in 2017 about a 2006 scam), eight months after joining the BJP-bloc.
Mr. Ajay Piramal has had similarly got speedy justice/resolution for himself whenever any kind of allegation were made against him: be it the insider trading allegations by the SEBI, the environmental terrorism allegations in Telangana, two stay orders against the controversial NCLT (19/05/2021) and NCLAT (27/01/2022) verdicts in the case of the DHFL scam and so on. Handing over the profitable, ongoing, solvent DHFL to Piramal Capital and Housing Finance Limited seems to be nothing more than a quid-pro-quo affair between the BJP and the secondary relative of its favoured corporate, Mr. Mukesh Ambani, viz., Mr. Ajay Piramal. Mr. Piramal has contributed 85 crores only to the BJP through electoral bonds alone, though we do not know the operation of his shell-companies that have equally soothed the itching palms of the richest political party, the BJP.
Notably,
PMC Bank case: Praful Patel used Wadhawans’ aircraft eight times, says ED VIEW HERE ⤡ (As reported on 16th October, 2019 ©Business Standard)
It is to be noted that Rakesh Wadhawan belongs to the family of Wadhawans, Kapil and Dheeraj, who “owned” the DHFL (that did terror-funding through the Dawood-Iqbal channel) before it went into “insolvency process” headed by the RBI-appointed CoC and later acquired by Mr. Ajay Piramal, the closest associate of Mr. Piyush Goyal and the BJP!
How things fall into the place! Dawood Ibrahim, Iqbal Mirchi, Praful Patel, Piyush Goyal, the DHFL of the Wadhawans as well as the BJP and Ajay Piramal— all seem to have underlying, intimate chains of highly suspicious connections!
Thus, the manufacturers of Islamophobia themselves are shaking hands with “Islamic Terrorists/Gangsters” (shadow economy/underworld)! What a hypocrisy just to deviate the attention of the toiling Indian citizens from the multi-layered, all-pervasive corruption in the Indian polity within a failing state of the Indian economy due to the sheer incompetence and greed of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)!
The occurrence of such “turncoats” (those who are first being blackmailed by the BJP and then are being compelled to join them!) is now an everyday phenomenon. Some are able to resist it, while some are falling for the “richest political party”:
