ஆய்வுக்கு உட்பட்ட, ஊழல் குற்றச்சாட்டுகளில் சிக்கிய –
மொத்தம் 25 எதிர்க்கட்சித் தலைவர்களின் மீதுள்ள வழக்குகளின்
நிலை குறித்து இண்டியன் எக்ஸ்பிரஸ் நிறுவனம் மேற்கொண்ட
ஆய்வின் முடிவில் –

3 வழக்குகள் முழுவதுமாக மூடப்பட்டு விட்டதாகவும்,
20 வழக்குகள் மேலே தொடரப்படாமல் அப்படியே கிடப்பில்
போடப்பட்டு கிடப்பதாகவும்,

2 சமீபத்திய வழக்குகளின் மீது தொடர்வதா, வேண்டாமா என்று
இன்னும் எத்தகைய முடிவும் எடுக்கப்படவில்லை என்றும்
நிறுவனம் நேற்று வெளியிட்டுள்ள ஆய்வு அறிக்கையில் கூறப்பட்டுள்ளது.

நீளமான அந்த அறிக்கையிலிருந்து சில பகுதிகள் மட்டும் கீழே _

……………..

Since 2014, 25 Opposition leaders facing corruption
probe crossed over to BJP, 23 of them got reprieve –

3 cases closed, 20 stalled; officials say probe is
open, will act if required.

Since 2014, as many as 25 prominent politicians facing
action from Central agencies for alleged corruption
have crossed over to the BJP. They cut across
party lines:
10 are from the Congress;
four each from NCP and Shiv Sena;
three from TMC; two from TDP;
and one each from SP and YSRCP.

In 23 of these cases, their political move has
translated into reprieve, an investigation by The
Indian Express has found.

Three of the cases have been closed;
20 others remain stalled or in cold storage —
the investigative agency’s action, after the switch,
has been, in fact, inaction.

Six of the politicians on this list moved to the BJP
this year alone, weeks before the general elections.

This is in sharp contrast to what happens when the
accused is in the Opposition — an investigation by
The Indian Express in 2022 revealed –

how 95 per cent of prominent politicians that the
Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took action against after 2014,
when the NDA came to power, were from the Opposition.

The Opposition calls it the “washing machine,”
the mechanism by which politicians accused of
corruption don’t face legal consequences if they quit
their party and join the BJP.

…………

In 2022, the Eknath Shinde faction broke away from the
Shiv Sena and formed a new government with the BJP.
A year later, the Ajit Pawar faction broke away from
the NCP and joined the ruling NDA coalition.

Records show that cases faced by two top leaders of
the NCP faction, Ajit Pawar and Praful Patel,
were subsequently closed.

In all, 12 prominent politicians from Maharashtra
are on the list of 25, eleven of
whom switched to the BJP in 2022 or later, including
four each from NCP, Shiv Sena and Congress.

…………

-In the case of Ajit Pawar, the Mumbai Police’s
Economic Offences Wing (EOW) filed a closure report
in October 2020 when he was part of the previous MVA government,

• sought to reopen the case once the BJP returned to
  power, and closed the file again in March this year
• after he joined the NDA. The ED’s case against Pawar,
  based on the EOW action, has since been rendered
  infructuous.

…………..

-The cases against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa
Sarma and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan
are also stuck.

Biswa faced CBI questioning and raids in 2014, in the
Saradha chit fund scam, but the case against him
has not moved since 2015 when he joined the BJP.

Chavan joined the BJP this year even as a stay by the
Supreme Court is in place over proceedings by the CBI
and ED in the Adarsh Housing case.

In just two of the 25 cases — of former Congress MP
Jyoti Mirdha and former TDP MP YS Chowdary — there is
no evidence of a let-up by the ED even after the
two leaders joined the BJP. At least, not yet.
