MADURAI: A petition has been filed in Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court against an engineering college set up here by a trust in which Union Minister M K Alagiri is a trustee, alleging violation of Land Reforms Act in acquiring land for it.

The petitioner, a farmers association, also alleged the Daya Engineering College, run by M K Alagiri Educational Trust, had been built after silting a channel that linked a river to a tank which irrigated 350 acres of land.

In his petition, Secretary of the Madurai District Farmers' Welfare Association M. Ramalingam charged that during the DMK regime a fraudulent land use certificate was obtained declaring that the area as dry land after silting the channel.

He also alleged some individual farmers had been threatened to sell their lands to the college.

Also, the college had violated one of the conditions for granting approval by letting sewage into the river and dug giant borewells resulting in drinking water shortage in the area, the petition contended.

Headlines Today Bureau  | Chandigarh, August 2, 2011 | Updated 12:51 IST.

UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul and daughter Priyanka are the trustees of the land.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday pulled up the Haryana government for flouting laws to grant 8-acre land to Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust in Gurgaon.

Hearing a petition filed by several petitioners, the high court said it was clear that the state government favoured the trust run by the Gandhi family by exempting the land from the process while acquiring land for development of Sectors 58-63 in Gurgaon's Ullahawas village.

During the hearing of the petitions, it was revealed that the state government released land in favour of Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust. UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul and daughter Priyanka are its trustees.

Hearing the petitions on allotment of land to Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust, a division bench comprising Justices Jasbir Singh and Augustine George Masih made strong observations.

The judges said the state had gone "berserk" in acquiring land and warned that "courts are not helpless". The bench remarked that the state had argued the case for over a week, after which it had suddenly decided to reconsider the acquisition.

ANANTAPUR: District joint collector Anita Ramachandran said after July 15, inspections will be continued in Yajurveda Mandir, adjacent guest houses and other buildings in Prashanti Nilayam.

On Saturday, when the joint collector inspected Yajurveda Mandir, Rs 76 lakh worth gold and silver articles were found stashed away in a small room attached to Baba's personal room in the Mandir.

Speculations are rife that there could be more treasure, which the Satya Sai Central Trust members have either not disclosed in the inventory or have missed out. Rumours are that large amount of gold and silver has been kept in the guest houses adjacent to Baba's Yajurveda Mandir, meant for the VIPs and VVIPs during their visit and for personal interaction with Baba. They used to be allotted and opened on the directions of Satya Sai and no one else. The keys of those guest houses are reported to be with Baba's personal caretaker Satyajit. It is being said there could more treasure there than what was found in Yajurveda Mandir.

The cock and bull story of the Saibaba Central Trust: J. Ratnakar and Srinivasan that Rs. 35, 50, 000/- cash and the same was being sent to the Shettys the Contractors of the 'Saibaba Samadhi', proving to be a white lie, the Police will prosecute them under criminal laws.

With the large-scale siphoning off of the the funds of Saibaba Central Trust and other entities, finally the Government may take over the affairs of them.

The Trust secretary has also been directed to furnish details about the organisational set up of the SSSCT, list of its members, their addresses, background, contact numbers and “other relevant details” of its activities.

By Swaminathan Natarajan / BBC Tamil.
Sai Baba was buried with state honours.

Police in India say they have asked two members of a trust linked to guru Sri Sathya Sai Baba to explain the source of a large amount of cash.

They say they recovered 3.5m rupees ($80,000) from a car in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh on 19 June.

Police say the trustees have been given three days to respond to their request.

One of the trustees has told the BBC the money was donated by "alumni" of Sai Baba's educational institutions. Sai Baba died in April, aged 84.

He said it was in order to build a tomb in memory of him.

The Telugu Desam on Thursday issued a notice to the Legislature Secretary for moving a No Confidence Motion against the Kiran Kumar Reddy government for its failure to help farmers and on other issues.

“We have decided to move a No Confidence Motion since the government has miserably failed on all fronts, especially on solving the farmers’ problems. People have lost faith in this government. We are ready for elections,” said the TD president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu.

Soon after the notice was served, the number game, in terms of MLAs, has started in earnest.

Party strength

*Ruling alliance

Congress - 155

Prajarajyam - 18
Majlis - 07
Independents - 03
Total - 183


*Opposition

Telugu Desam - 89

CPI - 04
CPM - 01
Lok Satta - 01
TRS - 11
BJP - 02
YSR Congress - 01
Total - 109

*2 MLAs can’t vote

If around 40 MLAs from the Congress switch their loyalties, the collapse of the Kiran Kumar Reddy government will be certain.

And people are restive as the Chief Minister and his Ministers are too busy with any and everything but with the Administration and have been unable to improve the State's Finances, for long.


TDP too knows this position, as their own MLAs are not ready to face the electorate, yet.  Hence this is only another gimmick of Chandrababu Naidu.

Shame of BJP: Yeddyurappa wins third trust vote!

Indo-Asian News Service / Bangalore, June 02, 2011 / Hindustan Times.

Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa on Thursday comfortably won a trust vote in the state assembly - his third in nine months - amid a noisy walkout by the opposition Congress.The other opposition party, the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S), which has 26 members in the lower house, remained  

by its absence as it decided to boycott the 10-day budget session that began on Thursday.


"The confidence motion, moved by the chief minister on the floor of the 225-member house (including one nominated) has been voted in favour by 119 votes against none," assembly Speaker KG Bhopaiah declared even as 71 members of the Congress staged a walk out amid noisy scenes.


The Yeddyurappa-led first Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in this southern state had previously won trust votes October 11 and October 14, 2010.


With the recent re-defecting of 11 MLAs of BJP, it was foreknown, anyway!


I suspect, even the original defection of those 11 MLAs was for bargaining some favours. 


Mr. Yediyurappa still owes explanation to the people and Courts on his denotifying and allotting to his Sons adn Associates of the Government lands.
