Few congressmen broke Usain Bolt's 100 mtrs world record to reach the well of the house as soon as Swamy named Signora Gandhi.

As per the House rules, its not permitted to name members.

Mr. Swamy was admonished to not break the rules.
Sonia name was later expunged.

Mr. Swamy is known to be a frivolous man with frequent flippant remarks.

Augusta Westland produces one of the best choppers in the world. There is no point in blacklisting them. Augusta were not the ones taking Bribes, like any other company they will do what they can for profit.

These guys would give the AIADMK members in Tamilnadu a run for their money and people accuse only AIADMK party members are behaving like a slave .

Ontopic: Congress should be renamed to Corruptiongress its looks like it will be hard to find a deal where congress have not done corruption

It is very simple.


1) The scam took place under UPA regime

2) The scam broke out in Italy not in India

3) As soon as the scam broke out in Italy, all the tracks in India have been erased and the company has been black listed and Government of India did not cooperate with the Italian investigators

4) BJP will play politics to get political mileage, corner congress and may be have congress agree to support stalled bills like land reforms & GST in return for NO serious inquiry and/or NO re-opening of the case

5) There is no point in black listing the Italian firm as it is the Italians who have taken the initiative and convicted the guilty. Frankly speaking, Italy should be the one who should be black listing any sales to India for non-cooperation by government of India in this case.

As per the House rules, its not permitted to name members.

Mr. Swamy was admonished to not break the rules.
Sonia name was later expunged.

UPA didn't black list defence Minister has asked for the Copy of the order from UPA where Agusta was banned. . The first order to blacklist came out on 07.03.2014. that NDA government. INC is lying straight on the face. on 26 August they were allowed to complete ongoing contracts as they were supplies lined would have stalled projects and they cannot participate further.

At the end of the day this whole black listing discussion is smoke and mirrors.

1) The firm itself produces excellent defence equipment just like Bofors. Black listing really does not help Indian defence procurements

2) Indian Black listing the firm would have made sense had India started the investigation and there was no cooperation from Italy (government or the firm). In this case, it's exactly the reverse where it is Italy which has taken the initiate, brought the scam to light and convicted the guilty in spite of lack of cooperation from the Indian government. If any, it is the Italian government which should be blacklisting any engagement with India.

Sonia Gandhi & Ahmed Patel


Brijesh Singh
2014-11-15 , Issue 46 Volume 11

In his book The Accidental Prime Minister: The Making and Unmaking of Manmohan Singh, Sanjaya Baru, who was former prime minister Manmohan Singh’s media adviser, unveils several facts about Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s political secretary, 65-year-old Ahmed Patel, and his role in the party as well as the UPA government. Baru reveals that all political messages between Sonia and Manmohan Singh used to be routed through Patel. An increase in the frequency of his visits to the PM signalled an impending Cabinet reshuffle, writes Baru. Patel had the power to influence decision-making until the very end of the UPA regime. “On one occasion, he arrived at 7, Race Course Road just minutes before the PM’s letter to the President listing the names of MPs to be sworn in as ministers in a reshuffle was dispatched. Since the letter had been typed and signed and was ready to be delivered, and the President was waiting to receive it, it was decided that instead of wasting time retyping the letter, the new name being proposed by Patel would be typed over an existing name, which would be painted over with whitener,” writes Baru.


This incident shows the preeminent position Patel enjoys in the party and his closeness to Sonia. Patel had been a close aide of Sonia even before she stepped into politics. Often referred to as Sonia’s “crisis manager”, he is considered the most influential person in the party after the Gandhi family. “All roads to Sonia Gandhi pass through Ahmed Patel,” it is said.

Patel was associated with the Congress long before Sonia joined the party. He has been a loyalist of the Nehru-Gandhi family since the time of Indira Gandhi. Patel came into contact with Sonia for the first time when he was made secretary of the Jawahar Bhawan Trust. Sonia was yet to enter politics but was quite involved with the trust at the time. Not only did Patel shoulder his responsibilities with exceptional dedication, he even arranged for funds. He also played a key role in establishing the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, a project close to Sonia’s heart. This is where their bond developed. Former Gujarat chief minister Shankersinh Vaghela recalls, “After Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination, Ahmed Patel took care of the entire family, whether it was the education of Rahul and Priyanka or any financial matter. He served the family like a loyal servant.”

When Sonia finally decided to take the plunge into politics, she was ably chaperoned by Patel. “Patel played an important role in preparing Sonia to take charge of party affairs and in dethroning Sitaram Kesri to install her as party president,” says Vaghela. With Sonia as Congress president, Patel grew in stature and influence.


Sonia’s blind trust in Patel is attributed to the fact that he never abused his power, nor sought to use his proximity to the Gandhi clan to further any personal ambition. “Everybody was aware that Ahmed Patel had more influence than the prime minister, but he never misused that power to seek personal benefits,” says Gujarat-based political analyst Devendra Patel.


On the close ties between Sonia and Patel, a Congress leader says, “After Rahul and Priyanka, he is the only one in the Congress against whom no one dares complain to Madam (Sonia). Anyone who dares to oppose him can’t last long in
the party.”

Sources within the party reveal that during the past 10 years, Patel was the brain behind all the political decisions taken by Sonia. A former general secretary of the party says, “There is not a single decision taken by the party during the past 10 years that did not have Patel’s stamp of approval. Whenever Madam said about any issue that she would think it over, everyone knew that she meant to discuss it with Patel and then take a decision.”

Another reason for this trust is that when the Congress was at a low ebb and everyone else deserted the party, Patel remained steadfastly loyal. As the party continues to lose Assembly elections one after the other, following the drubbing it received in the Lok Sabha polls, everyone in the party has been blaming the top leadership for it. However, Patel has not said a word. It shows how the ebb and flow of electoral politics fails to weaken the strength of the bond shared by Sonia and Patel.

Let the rowdy BJPian party image speak for itself when they were in opposition and always in crying mode:

Just curious!

Blacklisting is a highly counter-productive practice that has destroyed the Indian defence procurement process in the past decade and ultimately hurts the end user and India's national security the most. This GoI took the sensile decsion to do away with the blacklisting policy entirely.

Here is the official report from GOI this blacklisting nonsense is done by both Corruptiongress and Prestitutes

AgustaWestland not blacklisted under UPA rule: Govt:
AgustaWestland was not blacklisted during the UPA rule, top Modi government sources claimed today, asserting it was the NDA dispensation which had put on hold all acquisition proposals with the VVIP chopper scam-tainted firm.

The sources said the government will now seek a report from the CBI, which had registered a case in 2013 in connection with the scam, and initiate moves to blacklist AgustaWestland and its mother company Finmeccanica in wake of fresh information that has come out.

Congress had yesterday claimed AgustaWestland was blacklisted under UPA rule but "removed" from the blacklist by the Modi government.

Congress leader and former Union Minister Anand Sharma had said, "The chopper deal was scrapped. Action was taken by the UPA government. A K Antony, the then Defence Minister, had made a statement in Parliament and AgustaWestland was blacklisted."

However, the government sources said, "The only punitive action taken by the Congress was in January 2009, just before the Lok Sabha elections, when the UPA govermment encashed the bank guarantee. They never blacklisted the company as claimed by them".

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had earlier in the day challenged the Congress to show the order by the UPA
