Mr. Yadav, you just can’t eat cakes when I don’t have a loaf of bread

And You Mr. Razdan

Please Stop Having Rum Among The Ruins

Having forced corporate houses pay for their gala, the sharks of PTI news agency actually set their mood gulping rum and liquor even before their jubilee could kick-start in a hi-fi manner, it is learnt.

It is revealed to Greater Voice that these crooks drank and ate unthinkingly at a self-hosted party on January 30 at a Delhi club till late in the night, exhausting Rs.99,100.00 on their wild taste.

PTI’s ageing CEO Mr. M.K.Razdan too was there at the club, ‘celebrating’ 60 years of the Indian news agency!

What is more surprising is the fact that these swindlers even cut a cake amid fiend cheers.

And holding the knife was none other than the self-declared trade unionist Mr. M.S.Yadav, who calls himself general secretary of the federation of PTI employees unions.

During the ‘cake cutting ceremony’, Mr. Razdan clapped as the beasts had a feast. It was like one layer of mafia making way for the other. How perfectly they have cemented their liaison!

It was reported here earlier as to how the corporate houses were subjected to a great tamasha by PTI reporters, while the news agency’s CEO Mr. Razdan and his puppet Mr. Yadav masterminded a three-day ‘celebration’ of PTI Diamond Jubilee (sic) at Mavalankar Hall, V.P.House, New Delhi, early this month.

On the first day of their jubilee on Feb.2, a host of dignitaries including BJP leader Arun Jaitley, CPI stalwart Gurudas Dasgupta and Ministers Subodh Kant Sahay, Sachin Pilot and Jyotiraditya Scindia were invited. But none of them turned up. Only a junior minister, Harish Rawat, was present along with Left persons D.Raja and Sitaram Yechury.

For Feb.3, they had succeeded in inviting Vice President Mr. Mohammad Hamid Ansari as their Chief Guest. But the vice president too got the pungent smell in the nick of time and refused to oblige them.

Other dignitaries who realized the evil designs of the disgraced people at the appropriate time and did not attend the fraud jubilee included Minister of Information & Broadcasting Ambika Soni, Minister of Railways Mamata Banerjee, Minister of Labor Mallikarjun Kharge, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Himachal Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Chhatisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Uttarakhand Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank.

Prominent among others who also stayed away were Minister for Civil Aviation Praful Patel (who was listed as their Guest of Honor), Minister of Agriculture Sharad Pawar (listed as Chief Guest for the concluding session), BJP Parliamentary Board Chairman L.K.Advani, CPI-M General Secretary Prakash Karat, RJD President Lalu Prasad Yadav, Samajwadi Party President Mulayam Singh Yadav and JDU President Sharad Yadav.

All these above VVIPs were listed in the ‘programme’ circulated by the scamsters across the country.

Had it been the Golden Jubilee of PTI, its Directors – there are 14 in total – and all the employees of the news agency would have surely turned up to be part of a historic occasion. But neither the Directors nor the employees’ strength were spotted in the fête. This posed a strong doubt over the paploo that was sought to be played — Was it really a golden jubilee function or a quicker way to get rich cheating?

Just mentioning the names of India’s who’s who, the PTI sharks are believed to have collected about Rs.1 crore from the market.

And this amount is now rumored to be double than what was earlier believed.

But these blackmailers’ hocus-pocus was exposed when most of those, in whose names they collected the crores, did not turn up at the fête! And all three days, Mr. Yadav could be seen standing at the venue gate like a fox; only the grapes were missing.

Denied the desired, his frustrated associates even brought down their own crest which could have otherwise shone brightly in the Sun.

Nevertheless, I am amazed at the speed with which they looted the nation by misusing the name, fame and resources of PTI. Does this company have any guardian? If yes, then how could this racket thrive? Why were Mr. Razdan and Mr. Yadav allowed to dance this way, basking in the glory of Press Trust of India?

Is anybody listening?

At least the high offices of the President, Vice President, Prime Minister and Lok Sabha Speaker should take note on account of the blatant misuse of their names by these swindlers.

In one of his letters soliciting money, Mr. Yadav is reported to have written: “We wish to have Hon’ble Sonia Gandhi for the inaugural function and are confident that a number of corporate leaders and chief ministers would also be sharing the dais.”

Mr. Yadav, you don’t have the right to eat cakes when your neighbors don’t even have a loaf of bread. Do you understand that?

And Mr. Razdan, you please stop having rum among the ruins.
