MediaCrooks ‏@mediacrooks 14m And since all files were cleared by SoniaG .. stands to reason she personally cleared all the SCAMS too.. Includes 2g, Coalgate, cwg, Agusta
Maybe the book was released with tacit approval of Manmohan who doesn't want to bear the weight of crimes of UPA alone. DqwuUB8.pngyKptVeb.pngxTRVyR8.png

snippets from Sanjay Baru's book

Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 6m Very juicy stuff on how new NSA was appointed after death of JN Dixit
Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 10m Technically, NSA is the head of nuclear command and all the service chiefs report to him
Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 2m So it seems MK Narayanan lobbied with Sonia for NSA job
Deepak Singh ‏@smarket now Vir Sanghvi was always a hit man in the media. He wrote an article to stall MK Narayanan's appointment as NSA
Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 1h Manmohan Singh never used MK expertise. He even gave up taking daily briefs from intelligence chiefs. IB and RAW started reporting to NSA
Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 1h MK Narayanan was IB chief. His fav line: "I have a file on you". He kept a tab on the credit card spending of influential editors
Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 56m Mani JN Dixit was one of the India's finest diplomat and strategist in post Nehruvian India
Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 28m J N Dikshit was really a great character as per Sanjay Baru.
Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 32m Mani JN Dikshit did not like Siddharth Vardarajan (previous editor of Hindu) and objected to him being on PM plane as he was American citizen.

Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 1h Sanjay Baru brilliantly explains why we are in this mess. All Sonia's appointment were based on loyalty and not merit
Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 1h Pulo Chatterjee worked on the personal staff of Sonia Gandhi when she was Leader of Opposition.
Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 1h Pulok was then inducted into PMO at the behest of Sonia. Pulok had regular meetings with Sonia in which he used to brief her on all issues
Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 1h Pulo Chatterjee was the main link between Sonia Gandhi, NAC and PM. Pulok never accompanied PM anywhere except Cuba. Pulok is Leftist
Deepak Singh ‏@smarket 1h Pulok was working in PMO and then sharing secrets with Sonia Gandhi.

FWIW Narsimha Rao's family or any of his chailas didnt even stay back. Usually a family member or a known person stays back to make sure that these things dont happen at the funeral but I remember seeing that there was nobody at his funeral site and dogs were roaming around his half burnt body. How is it Sonia's plan when his own family, friends and followers didnt care ? Also its not a breaking news that MMS was a puppet, everybody knows it

The last request of PV to be cremated at New Delhi was not granted and his body was sent to Hyderabad for a State funeral. The former Indian Prime Ministers who all died while in position (Except Rajeev Gandhi) were cremated on the Yamuna banks at New Delhi. Including Sanjay Gandhi who was only an MP who died in an aircraft accident. It is very strange that the mortal remains of a distinguished Prime Minister were packed off to Hyderabad Ways of Indian politics are really weird indeed. The body of Late PV had to further go through the ordeals and hiccups before it was confined to flames with the mandatory gun salute. At Gandhi Bhavan the citadel of Congress party in the State, the cartage was delayed at the gate for the reasons known best to the leaders concerned. At last, his sons under the overall supervision of Army consigned PVs body to the flames. However, the greatest insult to PV was still awaited even after his death. His half burnt body with head, shoulders, Torso intact was left lying on the pyre while the flames died down . There was none to care to ensure that the body was completely reduced to ashes. Some passers by aghast at the sight informed the authorities who rushed to the spot to complete the formalities. The photograph of the ghastly sight of the half burnt body staring at the sky was published in the newspapers. It looked as if PV was feeling sorry for the way the leaders treated him in his last journey and it was the misfortune of the Telugu people to witness such events.

Even in hospital, even in his final days, PV exuded confidence. The doctors -- and they included many who had grown to love PV the man, if not P V Narasimha Rao the prime minister -- were grim-faced, as were the others clustered outside his room in the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. Not so PV. Strangely, his physical collapse had led to a toughening of his will. The voice was low, one did not have the will to respond and thus force him to expend energy by replying to the reply, but PV was determined to keep on talking about what would be. This time, he would not make the mistake of not reacting to the torment, he would resist his inbuilt aversion towards his friends fighting back on his behalf and allow them to. There had been something aloof and patrician about the man from Vangara village, that made any effort at self-defense seem a contemptible display of weakness. But he was aloof no more. The eyes were tired but fierce, the voice was often unable to reach the level of becoming audible, but there was a hardening in the timbre that had not always been present during the years in office. But this fresh dawn never took place. Sometime after noon on December 23, 13 days after he had been brought to the hospital early in the morning following a cardiac incident, PV decided to call it quits. It was more than an hour before the doctors finally did. Strangely -- or perhaps entirely expectedly -- despite a special Union Cabinet meeting at 3 pm on the subject of his funeral, at his 9 Motilal Nehru Marg home there were no arrangements made to receive the body and place it on a platform, nor flowers, nor any laying out of carpets by the administration for the mourning crowds to sit down on, nor even a shamiana on the lawns. Finally, Kishore, a friend of PV's, made arrangements for both. The shamiana could get erected only by 8.15 pm. Carpets and flowers too were provided by family and friends and not by what seemed to be a totally bankrupt Government of India. As if to atone for his visible helplessness, the prime minister, Sardar Manmohan Singh, looked visibly moved as he quietly remained by the side of the body, which had been brought in from the hospital a little before 5 pm. As a gesture of supreme graciousness, Sonia Gandhi turned up and even stayed for a few minutes. While some of those present then may be made to deny this later, the fact is that the family members -- as well as the crowd of mourners -- would have been happy to see the father of economic reform and the first prime minister from the south in the history of Free India be given the same honours as Sanjay Gandhi and Charan Singh, a State funeral in New Delhi and an appropriate memorial. Home Minister Shivraj Patil was clearly the emissary of some Unseen Power, for he came several times to the Rao home from some other place where he had apparently gone for consultations, to insist in his own courteous way on a funeral in Hyderabad. It was clear to observers that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was not being consulted on this matter, there was not even a pretence of that on the part of the emissaries of the Unseen Power. A few such as Ahmed Patel could be observed giving regular updates via cellphone to Somebody about the situation in 9 Motilal Nehru Marg. A very useful man, Ahmed Patel. It was decided Somewhere that PV's body would be sent back to his home state. Ironically, PV had spent the previous 30 years in New Delhi, as a Cabinet minister, as an AICC general secretary and as prime minister. Even when he had been the prime minister, no member of his family lived with him, they would come on (infrequent) visits. In his last years to, he lived alone. Thus the attempt to justify a shift to Hyderabad on the grounds that "he was not a Delhi resident" was somewhat of a stretch. Another argument used to justify the move to Hyderabad for the final obsequies was that the Vajpayee Cabinet had passed a resolution against any more samadhis. Again, for a regime that has been talking of 'detoxifying' the country from the misdeeds of the Vajpayee Parivar era, this was somewhat ingenious. The family behaved with quiet dignity throughout. They said that as their father had been a Congressman, a freedom fighter, a prime minister, they would leave it to the Congress party and the government as to what was to be done. The only moment of friction came when a high official suggested that if the sentiment was so overwhelming within the circle of those who loved PV that the cremation take place in the national capital, then very well, it would take place, but in the Delhi cantonment, as though PV were some bacillus that the refined gentry living in the Lutyens Zone did not want to see contaminate their environment. The response to this suggestion on the part of those close to PV was that they would then cremate him at the Nigambodh Ghat, along with the other common men, which after all was all that he seemed to be to the powers-that-be. It was at this stage that a Heavy Hitter arrived, in the person of Y S Rajshekhar Reddy, chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, who 'cajoled' those close to PV into 'agreeing' that it would be best to cremate him in Hyderabad. Around this time, those who looked like Intelligence Bureau sleuths began nosing around the rooms. It had been known that PV had kept voluminous records, including the draft of a book on the Emergency. It is unlikely that any of this will ever emerge into the daylight, except in a very sanitised way. The next day, December 24, the body of the former Congress prime minister was brought to the gates of the AICC office at 24, Akbar Road and kept there for 20 minutes, 'to pay homage.' Apparently, the body was so heavy that it would not have been possible to lift what was left of PV from the gun carriage into the Congress headquarters, which would have been the civilised thing to do. After this final humiliation, P V Narasimha Rao left New Delhi for Hyderabad, this time for good.
