Sahara Diaries

The Congress hit back out at Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today for his accusations in the AgustaWestland VVIP choppers case, saying the Finance Minister is showing immense faith in "diary entries" to level "bogus" charges, even as the BJP is "mute" on Sahara and Yeddy diaries.

The AAP on Wednesday dubbed the Supreme Court's decision of rejecting a plea for probing the alleged payoffs to Prime Minister Narendra Modi by the Birla-Sahara groups, as "unfortunate".

There will be no probe by a Special Investigation Team into the politically sensitive Sahara diaries case - which involves allegations that bribes were paid to politicians including Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he was the Gujarat Chief Minister -- the Supreme Court has said. The top court has said there is not enough evidence in the case.

The Supreme Court is expected to hear the politically sensitive Sahara-Birla diary case, which involves alleged bribes paid to politicians today. The hearing comes following a fresh affidavit by lawyer-activist Prashant Bhushan.

The opposition alleged today that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been ensured unwarranted protection by tax officials who have decided not to investigate the Sahara Group over alleged bribes that were paid to politicians, according to "diary entries" found in raids on the company's offices in 2014.

Is there a nexus between the payments made to "Gujarat CM" and any action taken to favor Sahara? As of now, no one can say for certain, but any PM concerned with protecting his reputation would surely want his innocence revealed through a thorough and independent investigation? Not Modi. He ducks and weaves but does nothing to explicitly deny his i...

Rahul Gandhi's list of questions for Prime Minister Narendra Modi today included how much black or untaxed money has come back into the system since November 8, when 500- and 1,000-rupee notes were banned.

In an attempt to flatten Opposition's continued attack on PM Modi over notes ban, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's "utterances", also referring to his allegations of corruption against the PM, lacked "maturity and gravitas", while terming Mr Gandhi's joint press conference with Mamata Banerjee and other...

As Rahul Gandhi pressed home with his allegations of corruption against Prime Minister Narendra Modi today, Congress veteran Sheila Dikshit was forced to go back on her earlier comments on what is being called the "Sahara Diaries".

Toeing the party line, Sheila Dikshit today targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi wondering why he was shying away from an independent probe into the 'Sahara-Birla' papers relating to pay-offs, days after her comments questioning authenticity of the documents put Congress on the backfoot.

Hours after Sheila Dikshit's comments on "Sahara Diaries" landed the Congress party in a spot and blunted Rahul Gandhi's corruption charges on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the former Delhi Chief Minister toed the party line saying the onus is on PM to "come out clean on charges".

Congress on Monday announced it will hold country-wide protests on January 5 at all district headquarters and on January 8 at the block level to highlight the common man's woes due to demonetisation and the "personal corruption" by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Days after Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of corruption linked to the "Sahara diaries," the documents have been rubbished by his own party leader, Sheila Dikshit. The former Delhi Chief Minister's name figures in the list that the Congress put out in a tweet as proof of its allegations against PM Modi.
