General VK Singh-Age Row to TATRA

General V.K Singh
General V.K Singh  on 26th March has created another storm for Congress,  First the Age Row- Arms lobby had spent crores of Money to perpetuate the DOB fraud on the General.. Had he gone soft with the Arms lobby he would have been the darling of the UPA establishment.. but then since he aint one trouble started with the Age row..

Tejinder Singh .. Highly corrupt ex ( Lt General) a close associate of Abhishek Verma known Con-Man close to 10Janpath also an Arms Dealer penetrating into Defence Acquistion and under scanner for War room leaks..  Tejinder Singh + Abhishek Sharma + 10 Janpath > Deadly combo against sanctity of the Armed force .. So whats all about the "Tetra Scam"  some salient points below.... 
  • Alleges equipment lobbyist offered him a bribe of Rs. 14 crore, which he reported to Mr. Antony. 
  • The General said the lobbyist offered him the bribe in order to have a tranche of 600 sub-standard Tatra Truck vehicles  cleared for purchase. 
  • India has nought already 7000 Vehicles of which were already in use in the Army, had been sold over the years at exorbitant prices with no questions asked.
  • To push another 600 Tatra Vehicles the supposedly Bribe was Offered.
  •  He said there was no proper facility where they could be serviced and maintained and yet they continued to be sold to the Army though there is a facility in Hosur for Maintenance.
  •  He however hinted without Naming the famous duo of Adarsh and Sukhna Scam (  General Tejinder SIngh and  General Deepak kapoor) 
  • However defence Minister revealed asTejinder Singh. 
  • Tejinder Singh unofficially advocating for BEML which handles the Sales of Tatra Trucks (Actually OEM TATRA  Vectra from Czech republic though it is only a part of Terex  corporation US and the another part of the company is held by an unknown NRI based in UK ).
  • Tejinder going to Court on defamation is a laughing Stock  (read)>>Tejinder Singh harassed me: Adarsh whistleblower
  •  BEML buys @ approximately @ 70 L per Truck and sell it to the Defence @ 1,10 Cr (Profit making for our own Defence). 
  •  BEML though disinvested 54% of shares are Govt Controlled.
  •  So cynics who point fingers @ Gen v.K Singh he knew fully well there is no point filling a case against Govt owned Company, afterall when he gave in writing to clarify his date of birth Govt never heeded! and now you expect General to file an FIR against the Govt?
  •  People need to get wise before pointing fingers @ General V.K Singh who is bent upon to do away the corruption in the Premier establishment. 
  • Rumours doing the round Ak Antony was forced to accept the Generals View as many feel the Conversation between Defence Minister and VK SIngh  could have been recorded as same as the Conversation between Disgraced Tejinder Singh and the Brave General VK Singh.
  • Larger Question remains the anonymous UK NRI who hold major stake in Tatra Vectra Motors and has many Interest in India.
  • Defence Ministry which was bugged a month back could also been coz Tejinder was seen moving into the Defence Ministry Office!
  •  Excellent Spy Game General VK SIngh we just admire you.
FOR CYNICS On Why General did not File an FIR or Written Complaint to Defence Ministry
  • Tejinder Offered Bribe not @ the first meet after Post retirement, he had series of Courtesy calls with VK SIngh, VK Singh was Good enough to sense what would be the driving force of Tejinder Visits.
  • Tejinder is ex-General and not Officially Representing either Tetra or BEML, Assuming IF VK Singh files an FIR, Tejinder would hv said it was a courtesy call and never made any attempt as he does not represent any of the named company
  • He cannot file an FIR against Govt 54% BEML owned by Govt with no Proof.
  • If he had given a written complaint to the defence Ministry Investigation would have carried on and would have come to a logical conclusion that the General was lying and no concrete proof to substantiate, hence thereby sullying the Image of the Army and would have sacked him. In fact this is what the Govt had in mind. Fortunately General did not play to the Govt's hand
  • There was Love lost relationship between Govt and the General Sukna and Adarsh (exposed by General) govt tried its best in one or other to remove the General from his post.
  • Assuming all the above as a theory, going by the Govt's version why was the so called honest Defence Ministry could have orderd the matter to CBI for a Preliminary Investigation. 
  • Defence Minister do not need anyone's concurrence in ordering a CBI
  • Last Why did the Defence Ministry order for the probe now as such General never asked for (to pacify the crucifying Media, Public and the sleeping Opposition).
  • There was a written complaint on the Purchase of Tatra Trucks by none other than Congress MP Azad in 2009 @least then the Defence minister could have ordered the probe?
  • Leaks in PMO is no new if media can get a scent of PMO' internal MEMO's High ranking General would have known the Govts Intentions all along.
  • Latest being the self Proclaimed Highly respected Walking the Talk man "Shekar Gupta" on his new Venture into writing Movie Script , only shows that there are Vested Interest within the section of the Govt and in certain quarters of Journalist to target not only the General but also the whole disciplined Army!
SO cynics pack your bags for now get into another Issue that might be in the pipeline.


What more can India afford for such Scams even in the Military establishments! considered to be so Premier! well Rajeev Gandhi was afterall the person who started the scams in the Defence?
The Defence Minister A.K Antony has ordered CBI enquiry? for what to protect the lobbyist?
=========================================
 10th of Febuary  is not only a black day to the General but also to the entire Nation. We Salute this highly decorated Man for not only fighting against the known enemy alongside the border but also destiny calling the shot has to fight the known enemy his Own Country's Govt.
Though the Supreme court had Observed that it respects his honesty the petition has been disposed. Highly anticipated in favor of Public sentiment was a let down by the Supreme court. The Congress Govt has the last laugh (not for long).
It has been left to the both Govt and General to resolve the Age Row amicably. Already the succession plans are doing the rounds even before the General has taken any decision.
The Government through its extended arm service of TV channels are discussing three possible successor namely Mr.Shankar Gosh- Western Commander,  Mr.Aluwalia- Central Commander and Mr Vikram Singh - Eastern Commander.
We leave it to the wisdom of Gen V.K Singh to take his decision, he might not know yet there are millions out here who had supported all along.



General V.K Singh  was born to a Military Officer in a Military Hospital. Which carries his birth record. He also has his Matriculation Certificate produced during his Induction to NDA (National Defence Academy).All most entire relevant records show that he was indeed born in 1951.

Profile In Military
Commissioned into the Rajput Regiment on 14 June 1970 he is an alumnus  of prestigious National Defence Academy (NDA), Defence Services Staff College, Wellington and  Rangers Course at Fort Benning, USA and the US Army War College, Carlisle.Awards - Ati Vashisht Seva Medal (For Counter Insurgency).

Current ROW- Government Claims he was born on 1950, Generals claim his birth year is 1951.The controversy had arisen since his date of birth was recorded differently in Adjutant General (AG) branch and Military Secretary  (MS) branch. The Adjutant General's branch in the Army has been supporting Army Chief's claim that his date of birth is May 10, 1951.


General Deepak Kapoor

General  V K Singh Suceeded Gen Deepak Kapoor. Immediately assuming the highest Office Gen V.K Singh rattled up the hornets nest the various scams within  the top Military brass in collusion with the ruling Party.

One such findings was the Adarsh Scam. Adarsh Scam Involved Congress leaders and Ex General Deepak Kapoor. General Deepak Kapoor was also exposed in a fresh land scam (Sukhna) in Jan 2011. He  also started taking actions against all corrupt Military personals. This led to love hate relation between the Government and Gen V.K Singh. He was witch hunted and  humiliated in certain sections of the Media by Paid Reporters. His Integrity was Questioned over his Age.

Government main Agenda was to replace Gen Vk Singh as soon as possible not because he was instrumental in exposing Adarsh Scam but there are Millions of  Dollars in Military Deals that are in Pipeline. If he continues his tenure as per the year (1951) it would only be too inconvenient for the Govt to have its say on any of the Deals. The Congress is known for Corruption in Defence Deal who would have ever forgotten Bofors.

THe Congress spreading corruption to Military establishment is very sad and unfortunate and more unfortunate not willing to resolve with General Vk Singh inspite of high valued Legal opinoin

This Age row issue started as yearly as April 2011. The General was unsuccessful  in the last  8 months democratically  tried to establish his Credibility, Honesty and Integrity . Alas his words fell in the deaf years of the Government.

Though Many including the Attorney General  says on record that Gen VK Singh if takes the legal route then the Govt needs lot of things to answer. Still Govt reluctant to soften up its stand.

Now the General though his private decision to move to the Legal Route he is largely supported by the Premier Establishment "Military".

It is now left to Government how it is going to defend itself.

This Govt has failed with the People, Failed in front of the Judiciary, alas Even the Military has taken this Govt to Court.

Congress will never learn its lessons unless they are taught one.                                           

Legacy of Sonia ?
