It is possible that Gujarat’s former Home Minister Amit Shah may be arrested in the Tulsi Prajapati matter. He might the arrested the minute he enters Gujarat.

In the next few days, Ajay Sancheti, who is close to Gadkari, and Prem Gupta, who is close to Lalu Prasad, might have to go through raids from the CBI. Vijay Darda may have to see the same fate. Sancheti and Darda may even be arrested. Except for the prime minister, there may be some high-profile resignations from the likes of veteran leaders such as Subodh Kant Sahay. But the prime minister will come away unscathed, despite the fact that none of the coal blocks could have been auctioned without the signature of the related minister. Since the coal ministry has been with the prime minister for some time, surely his signatures must also be there.

More arrests are possible in the famous NHRM scam in UP. Satish Sharma, considered to be a close associate for Mayawati, may see his close relative Anant Mishra alias Antu Mishra, who was also UP’s former health minister, get into trouble. Now even Maya feels that she may not have been in the right by rubbing Kushwaha the wrong way.

Wonder what has come over Kajal Ejaaz, who once handled the PR for Anil Ambani’s companies and was considered to be extremely close to Central Minister Salman Khurshid. Nowadays, she is seen with Rajya Sabha member, Mamata Banerjee associate and industrialist D K Singh, trying to push Mamata’s PR agenda along with Singh. Have things really come this far?

Sources reveal that before his retirement, an army chief had stationed former army’s 20 secret service cars in New Delhi. These vehicles are equipped with special equipment and can tap as many as eight mobile and landline phones within a 3 km radius. The shocking thing is that most of these vehicles were put at sensitive areas. Sources are even saying that one of the cars was parked near Central Defence Minister A K Anthony’s house. It is said that the new army chief recalled these vehicles as soon as he took over.

The Congress is also pretty worried about Telengana. A few days ago, Congress high command sent her messenger to TRS Chief Chandrashekhar Rao and told him that the announcement of a separate Telengana state will be done soon. Thus, he should start supporting the Congress. But Chandrashekhar has given Sonia a condition. He is ready to agree to all of Congress’ condition, on the promise that if a separate Telengana state is formed and the Congress comes to power, Chandrashekhar Rao should be made the first chief minister. Sonia is quite on the matter and the Rao has clearly rolled the ball in Congress’ court.

The Opposition has got a major matter over coal-gate and its echoes and noise can be heard in the Parliament, too. Which means the Houses may sound and look like the same way they did during the 2G scam. The Opposition is all excited and the government is all agile. The Opposition has made up its mind that it will not let the Parliament function over coal-gate.

Lokpal Bill will be passed but not during the coming monsoon session. The Congress doesn’t want that Team Anna should go around proclaiming that the UPA government is not keen on Lokpal and that the politicians didn’t allow the Bill to be passed. Thus, the UPA government will surely pass its Lokpal Bill which will have a Lokpal and a Lokpal Bhavan, but in the next session.

The talks doing the rounds in political corridors is that of the total number of votes that Pranab da got during presidential elections, no less than 10 per cent were courtesy the CBI, that is Mayavati, Mulayam, Jagan and so on. The other 10 per cent were got thanks to the Planning Commission. If sources are to be believed, there were several chief ministers from the north east, such as Sikkim’s Pavan Chamling and Nagaland’s Neiphiu Rio, who were bullied with CBI threats. Just before the elections, the Planning Commission called states such as Bihar and UP to Delhi and they were commissioned funds, in lieu of which the government asked for something in return.

To bring 26/11 to fruition, Pakistani terrorists and their mentors used satellite phones. It was only the American agencies that could catch hold of a sample of every voice feed from the satellite phone. When the machinery of American agencies suspected Abu and his intentions, his phones were tapped and when his voice sample was matched with that of a voice from the 26/11 satellite phone, they found a match and the agencies were sure he had been involved in the 26/11 terrorist attack. When they found a voice match, the American agencies asked RAW for DNA samples of Abu. Because the laws in American courts are so strict, the country decided that instead of bringing Abu to the US, he should be deported straight to India, because of his citizenship. Thus, it was the American officials put him on a plane to India so that a case could be lodged against him under the Indian Penal Code.
