How to Become the Owner of ₹5000 Crore by Spending Just ₹50 Lakh
Rahul Gandhi says Adani should be sent to jail because an American attorney, allegedly appointed by George Soros, indicted him.
But what about the National Herald scam, where Rahul himself is out on bail?
A Simple Analogy
Imagine this: Your friend inherits a Mercedes worth ₹1 crore from his late father. However, he can’t drive it because the car needs servicing, which costs ₹50,000, and he doesn’t have the money.
He asks you for ₹50,000, promising to return it within a week. You lend him the money. He gets the Mercedes repaired and starts driving it but doesn’t return your ₹50,000. Despite your best efforts, you cannot recover the amount.
So, you approach Rahul Gandhi for help. Rahul gives you ₹2,000 and says, “Forget your ₹50,000; I’ll take over this liability.” You agree, take the ₹2,000, and leave.
Rahul then goes to your friend and says, “Give me my ₹50,000.” Your friend replies, “I don’t have ₹50,000, but I can give you the Mercedes.” Rahul accepts the car.
Now, by investing just ₹2,000, Rahul Gandhi becomes the owner of a ₹1 crore Mercedes. 😄
The National Herald Case Explained
This analogy mirrors the National Herald case.
The National Herald was a Congress-owned newspaper, established in 1937 by 5,000 freedom fighters. It had offices across India, provided by the government at concessional rates, with its property valued at ₹5,000 crore.
In this analogy:
- The Mercedes is the National Herald (NH), operated by Associated Journals Limited (AJL).
- You are the Congress party, which lent ₹90 crore to NH over time at zero interest, using public funds.
Here’s how it unfolded:
- 2008: NH faced financial difficulties and shut down. AJL couldn’t repay the ₹90 crore loan from Congress. Ideally, Congress should have sold AJL’s properties to recover the loan.
- 2010: Instead, a new company, Young Indian Private Limited (YIL), was formed.
- 76% of YIL was owned by Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
- The remaining 24% was owned by Motilal Vora, Oscar Fernandes, and Sam Pitroda.
- Rahul Gandhi became its Director.
- The Deal:
- YIL paid ₹50 lakh to Congress and acquired the ₹90 crore loan liability.
- Congress essentially sold its ₹90 crore receivable to YIL for ₹50 lakh. Why?
- Takeover:
- YIL, led by Rahul Gandhi, demanded repayment of ₹90 crore from AJL.
- AJL said it couldn’t pay and offered itself instead.
- YIL accepted, becoming the owner of AJL (and its ₹5,000 crore worth of properties) for just ₹50 lakh.
This is why critics allege that a company worth ₹5,000 crore, built by freedom fighters, ended up in the hands of the Gandhi family for a mere ₹50 lakh.
Legal Developments
- 2012: Subramanian Swamy filed a complaint, alleging fraud and land grabbing by the Gandhis.
- 2014: The ED initiated a money laundering probe, and the court summoned Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and others.
- 2016: The Supreme Court exempted the accused from personal appearances but refused to quash the case.
- Jan, 2018: Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi get bail
- 2019: The ED attached properties worth ₹64 crore.
- 2023: The ED attached additional properties worth ₹751.9 crore.
The case is ongoing in Delhi courts. Rahul Gandhi has been out on bail since 2015 and hasn’t spent a single day in jail. Several judges have recused themselves from the case.
The Hypocrisy
Rahul Gandhi demands jail for Adani based on a U.S. indictment but continues to evade accountability in a corruption case involving public funds.
Law should be equal for all, whether it’s Rahul Gandhi, Adani, or anyone else. No one is a VIP when it comes to justice.
This article is based on the PIL filed by Subramanian Swamy in the Delhi High Court. The claims made in this article are derived from that PIL. We neither confirm nor deny the accusations against the Gandhi family.
The purpose of this article is to highlight the hypocrisy of Rahul Gandhi, who accuses others while facing serious allegations himself.
