Election times are here but so is the demonetisation time. Political Parties who have historically used cash as a formindable political tool are clueless. Seems, some political leaders of some of the most prominent political parties have switched to full time money laundering jobs.
A sting conducted by Aaj Tak’s special investigation team reveals names from some of the biggest political parties.
As per the Aaj Tak sting – the first link in the money laundering chain was BSP Ghaziabad district president Virender Jatav. Reporters expressed the desire to get 10 Crore Rupees converted into legal tenders. Virender demanded hefty commission without blinking an eyelid and reassured the reporters that he will get the job done. He charged a service fee of 40% to convert the money into legal tenders and made sure that his offer was non-negotiable. Had it been a real case, Virender would have pocketed 4 Crore easily.
The next political party in the UP fray is Samajwadi Party. It is currently engaged in a deadly duel with a spirited BJP and desperate BSP. But in matters of money laundering, SP was as competent and cool as its arch nemesis. Titu Yadav, a SP leader of the Noida unit also charged a service fee of 40% to convert the money into legal tenders.

Then it was the turn of the Grand Old Party of India as per the Aaj Tak Sting. Indian National Congress has been occupying the critics’ benches as soon as the November 8th demonetisation scheme was announced. Congress party member Tariq Sidduqui reassured the reporters that converting demonetized and unreported income into legal tenders was easy and it would be done through an NGO. He also talked about a contact in the black market who could get the job done.
Sharad Pawar led NCP was more organized as far as money laundering was concerned. And they offered better packages too. They charged a flat 30% service charge and returned the “white” money in cheques. And to make it a sweeter deal, NCP Delhi Secretary Ravi Kumar took care of everything personally.
Nitish Kumar has been a pillar of support for PM Modi when most of the political parties abandoned him. But, what’s going to be an embarrassing news for Nitish Kumar, one of his party members one Satinsh Saini immediately asked for the maximum amount of money. He quickly went on to explain his service fees which was at 30% and was negotiable too.
TFI Congratulates Aaj Tak’s special investigation team for this well conducted sting operation. It also exposes the moral depravity of the ones opposing demonetisation.
One question that must have come to your mind – Was BJP not approached? Were they given the benefit of doubt?
Rahul Kanwal seems to have an answer:
For those asking not as if attempt was not made to catch BJP leaders turning black into white. But none were caught. Netas-Cash mafia expose
