Letter on 04.12.2016
To
Shri Narendra Modi
Prime Minister
Dear Shri Narendra Modiji,
I enclose two news reports, one that appeared today in Hindustan Times on “50 chartered planes to ferry VVIPs to Nagpur for Gadkari’s daughter’s wedding”, and the second in today’s Times of India, “Weddings put off as families struggle to tide over crash crunch”.
Apparently, there is one set of rules and standards for NDA Ministers (please see my letter addressed to the Enforcement Directorate , forwarded here on a similar wedding equally lavishly celebrated last week by your Minister Mahesh Sharma, ) and another set of rules and standards for the common man on the street.
As a result of the prevailing cash crisis, many families have put off their scheduled weddings. Many other weddings have broken down. But, Gali Janardhana Reddy, Mahesh Sharma and Gadkari feel no crisis whatsoever, as they seem to have the blessings of bigwigs from both BJP and the NDA. While your Ministers are indulging in such unhealthy extravagance, is it not ironic that you yourself should exhort the common man to stand in queues to uphold your grandiose mission to fight against black money?
Those that stand in the queues like myself feel that your intentions are great and temporary inconveniences should be ignored. At the same time, we feel perplexed to find no
Janardhana Reddy’s, Mahesh Sharma’s and Gadkari’s in the queues. Adding insult to injury, they flaunt their wealth and mock at the public at large. Are we living in a civilised society, Mr Modi?
I am asking the Enforcement Directorate to investigate the source of every rupee that these Super-Citizens have spent and the cash component of every expense they have incurred. I am not sure whether the Enforcement Director has the authority or an inclination to carry out an impartial investigation, as the numerous cases of overseas accounts standing in the names of some of your Chief Ministers brought to their notice by me, are yet to be investigated by the Central investigation agencies till now.
I do not think that any marriage in the West can boast of 50 chartered flights being arranged as it seems to be the case with Gadkari.
Are these chartered flights paid for by the corporate houses? Who are those corporate houses? Are there quid pro quos involved? How many Five-Star rooms have been booked on behalf of Gadkari at Nagpur? How many air-conditioned cars are deployed to ferry the VIPS to and fro? Who has paid for the same? What was the expenditure incurred on the wedding celebrations?
Have Gadkari and his associates withdrawn cash from banks at the expense of all those languishing for days in long serpentine queues in front of banks and ATMs?
Are the local senior Income Tax officials have already compromised their position by attending the wedding reception as honoured guests?
Who are the NDA, RSS and BJP bigwigs who attended the wedding and endorsed the extravagance?
This calls for a full-fledged investigation, Mr. Modi.
I am marking a copy of this letter to Hasmukh Adhia, the Union Revenue Secretary so that he may feel that he too has the obligation to order an investigation into this conspicuously celebrated Gadakari wedding, especially at a time when his Department is harassing small jewellers and petty contractors in the name of “tightening” the noose around the necks of “black marketeers”.
I believe that in a democracy like ours, we need an explanation on this questionable wedding from the highest level in your government. I believe that the CBDT and the Enforcement Directorate should investigate and report on this. The public at large have not yet fully digested the initial “clean” certificate provided by the Income Tax Department on the details of Gali Janaradhana Reddy’s spending on his daughter’s wedding. This has certainly eroded the credibility of your government in regard to the demonetisation measures.
If you do not act quickly and firmly on these letters of mine, I will be constrained to seek judicial intervention, as every citizen in this country has the right to question the basics of governance.
I am circulating this letter widely to generate a public discussion and a debate on NDA’s true stance on profligacy and conspicuous expenditure in the context of demonetisation.
Regards,
Yours sincerely,
E A S Sarma
Former Secretary to GOI
Visakhapatnam
Letter on 06.12.2016
To
Shri Narendra Modi
Prime Minister
Dear Shri Narendra Modiji,
My last letter addressed to you was dated 4-12-2016. Copies of my correspondence on the subject are enclosed for your ready reference.
The latest report that Ramesh Gowda, a driver of Gali Janarshana Reddy, who had celebrated his daughter’s wedding in pomp and style, despite all the cash restrictions you announced on 8-11-2016, committed suicide, leaving a suicide note indicating the fact that Shri Reddy had laundered more than Rs 100 crores for celebrating the marriage, in defiance of the harsh restrictions imposed by you and your colleagues in the government. What distresses me is that, despite my cautionary letters addressed to you, the Finance Minister, the Union Revenue Secretary, the Enforcement Director and Director, CBI, all the central agencies seem to have deferred raids on Shri Janardhana Reddy’s premises till he had successfully laundered the black cash holdings and allowed the local officers to give him a “clean” chit.
Many of your colleagues in BJP and several other political leaders had attended the wedding and there was not even an advisory from the NDA parties to their members not to attend the function. Those like me, standing in serpentine
queues in front of banks, wonder whether you have a separate set of rules for the likes of Janardhana Reddy and another set for the suffering common man/ woman on the street!
Though the Income Tax authorities had raided small businesses and traders post-demonetisation, not one of them had the courage to raid the premises of Janardhana Reddy, or Gadkari who too has celebrated a similar wedding in great extravagance.
I request you to ponder over this earnestly.
Were the local senior officers of CBDT “honoured” guests at the lavish weddings celebrated by Gali Janardhana Reddy, Mahesh Sharma and Gadkari recently? Did they compromise their role as investigators and watchdogs by attending those marriages?
Did any of these celebrity, Super-Citizen, political leaders indulge in money laundering and whether officials, especially bankers, were hand-in-glove with them?
Did the Income Tax officials who have apparently given a clean chit to Gali Janardhana Reddy, as already reported, fail in their duties by not conducting surprise inspections prior to the wedding, thereby giving Reddy enough time to efface the evidence necessary to prosecute the culprits?
Did CBDT/ ED investigate the so-called “Singapore” property referred by Gali Janarsdhana Reddy in one of his statements to the press to explain away the source of funds for the more-than-Rs 500 Crore-wedding?
Mr. Modiji, while the demonetisation mission launched by you is a commendable step forward, if it is established that
your government is complicit in letting the money launderers off the hook, the credibility of what you have done in the name of demonetisation will certainly come under public scrutiny. I am afraid that the overwhelming presence of some of your own colleagues at these weddings did force the officials to go soft on investigating the possibility of black money being used at these lavish weddings.
May I demand quick action even at this belated hour to demonstrate your willingness to fight the black money hoarders. If the Central government takes the stand that it is for the State govt to take action in such matters, as is the usual approach adopted by your Ministers, it may not in anyway reinforce public confidence in what you say and do.
I have separately asked the Karnataka govt to order an independent investigation into the suicide committed by Shri Ramesh Gowda, the driver who had apparently witnessed Gali Janaradhana Reddy laundering his black money.
I had already read reports on the gala weddings you discuss here and was shell-shocked at the behavior of these looters in our socalled democratic setup, besides being terribly pained at what is happening to my beloved country. The greatest pain was that I didn’t find any one bold enough in our 4th estate to analyse it and question the top brass in government.
I thank you for your boldness coupled with honesty in addressing these issues. I plan to publish your report in my portal CCV (Church citizens’ voice) which three of us are running purely as a public service for love of God and common good, with no monetary benefit whatsoever for any of us. For me, a young man running 83, only wish is to die peacefully after seeing that my country is becoming corrouption free. My prayerful good wishes for you.

Apex Court is our last resort.Shame to the entire DNA Government for overlooking this extravagance.I am sure that this could not have happened in the years following Independence.
The story remind us the nothing is going to change in this country. Mr Modi is certainly not a efficient Prime Minister as he he pretends to be and he is equally complicent plunder of the public money, although we are yet to get the proof.
I read the letters of Mr. Sarma to Mr. Modi with great interest. He has made three points: 1. Demonetization is good. 2. Some Ministers under Modi are lavishly spending mone. 3. Commen people, including Mr. Sarma, are painfully standing in sepantine queues for a few thousands of rupees. Let Mr. Sarma know that most of BJP’s leaders, except a few ones, are corrupt. Modi is good intentioned person but he has come to political power withthe help of these corrupt leaders and this help included their ‘bad money’ also. Mr. Sarma do you know that a good person may come to power to do a work but through bad means? Good intentioned persons in history have come to power by making their own ‘Red’ army etc. But Modi has no Red army to catch ‘Reddys, Maheshs, Gadkaris’ etc. and make them eat the bitter fruits of their misdeeds. Mr. Modi needs the sympathy and support of Mr. Sarma and not his scorn. You must be knowing Mr. Sarma that even RBI officials, bank managers etc were found indulging in corruption. Mr. Sarma was himself financial secretary -IAS – etc and must be knowing how corrupt they have been for 70 long years. I ask Mr. Sarma to help Mr. Modi in whatever way possible and not denounce him – of course if loves India and wishes its progress.

During his first term as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Paul founded the Foundation for Rational Economics and Education (FREE), a non-profit think tank dedicated to promoting principles of limited government and free-market economics. In 1984, Paul became the first chairman of the Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE), a conservative political group founded by Charles Koch and David Koch 'to fight for less government, lower taxes, and less regulation.' CSE started a Tea Party protest against high taxes in 2002. In 2004, Citizens for a Sound Economy split into two new organizations, with Citizens for a Sound Economy being renamed as FreedomWorks, and Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation becoming Americans for Prosperity.

I grew up in Chile, got my medical degree there, began an academic career in 1970, and left for the USA due to the military coup in early 1974. My first job in the USA was working as a public nutrition professor in the international programme of Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee.
I started to travel to Africa in 1975, and worked a year in Cameroun in 1980 helping to prepare their five-year nutrition plan. I then moved to New Orleans, to Tulane University’s School of Public Health, and taught in the department of nutrition for ten years, before moving to Nairobi where I was an advisor in the Ministry of Health. Seven years there got me into extensive consulting in Africa, often on nutritional issues. In 1995 moved to Vietnam where I worked for two and a half years in the Ministry of Health as a senior primary health care advisor.
Many years of touching the reality on the ground, in Latin America, then the USA, then Africa and Asia, has made me understand that the real challenge is in the social and political determinants of malnutrition. I have devoted my writings and teaching to that. Over the years, I have found an important shift in my colleagues’ attitude and understanding towards acknowledging the basic causes of malnutrition. But yet I see little happening as a result. I submit that it is our guild’s lack of experience in the political arena that explains this dichotomy. I devote much of my energy to bridge this gap, and am a fervent advocate of empowering claim holders to demand needed changes from duty bearers. Nutrition is a perfect port of entry for that. Equity, social justice and people’s empowerment in a human rights sense is what really will make a difference.
There is no alternative but to deal with nutrition problems as indivisibly linked to social, political and environmental problems. We need to address them as such. The question is: are we all prepared to do that? The answer, in my view, decides whether we are part of the solution or part of the problem. Travelling and living in different parts of the world has reinforced my conviction that we need to get down from our academic ivory towers, and need to change the curricula of our young and upcoming colleagues, to give them the tools to act in such a context. To me, public health nutrition cannot be anything but that.
