Chennai: The food security bill is disastrous and should never have been passed in Parliament, said former
law minister, Dr Subramanian Swamy of the BJP, who kept 100-odd businessmen from the Jain community in Chennai spellbound with his vision for the growth of the Indian economy.
“I certainly think that any future government should scrap it,” Dr Swamy said while addressing businessmen at a Sunday morning meeting organised by the Chennai chapter of the Jain International Trade Organisation.
Noting that Indira Gandhi had tried something similar to a food security bill by nationalising wholesale trade in 1974, but failed miserably and denationalised it, Dr Swamy questioned how the government would buy 700 million tonnes of foodgrains and distribute it to about 83 to 84 per cent of people at 90 per cent subsidy and charge only 10 per cent of the market price.
“The government has drawn up a budget of Rs 1.5 lakh crore for implementing the food security bill. When I asked a senior Planning Commision member about where the money would come from, he replied that the government would print notes. But what will happen when the prices rise next year, I asked. He answered that we still don’t know which government will be saddled with implementing it,” Dr Swamy revealed.
Talking about the growth rate of the Indian economy which has reached 8 per cent from 3.5 per cent, Dr Swamy acknowledged the role played by former prime minister P.V. Narasimha Rao.
“The credit for accelerating growth through economic reforms really belongs to Narasimha Rao who had the political gumption to get it done. Anybody can make blueprints. But you need to practically implement it,” Dr Swamy said, adding that the former PM should be given the Bharat Ratna.
On future opportunities available for businessmen, Dr Swamy said the country should look at the area of hydrogen fuel cells. “We can’t go on depending upon foreign countries for crude oil. We should do more research on hydrogen fuel cells and start using them for our fuel requirements,” he added. He also suggested that people look into the manufacture of solar cooking equipment and harness solar power.

Sir / Madam,
Sub: Clinical Drug trials Scandal of Government Hospital for Mental Care,
Worth about Rs.15 crores, By Dr.N.N.Raju.
Ref: 1. News items published in various news papers and electronic media
2. R.C.No.1635/E/1/2011 dared 19/07/2011, Principal, Andhra Medical College.
This is to bring to your kind notice that Dr. N.N.Raju and Gr.G.Bhagya Rao had worked together as hand in glove, and conducted clinical drug trials for several (CROs ) Contract Research Organizations at Government Hospital for Mental Care (G.H.M.C.), Visakhapatnam, during the period 2001 to 2011 for financial gain.
1.Dr.N.N.Raju had resorted to forgery and financial embezzlement, by signing tripartite agreements on behalf of the Superintendent, G.H.M.C., Visakhapatnam with several CROs, posing as if he is the authorized to do so.
2.Dr.N.N.Raju had diverted the money paid by the various CROs to the tune of 15 crores, to a ‘Benami’ bank accounts operated by him in the name of ‘Psychiatry Research Forum.
3. He did these acts without informing the higher authorities. Dr. G.Bhagyarao facilitated and helped Dr.N.N.Raju, for doing all these activities by allowing to do these contract clinical drug trials, without proper record keeping at G.H.M.C.
All these details were published by a Telugu daily news paper, “Vaartha” on dt.26/06/2011.
Following this, the then District Collector instructed the Superintendent, G.H.M.C., Visakhapatnam, to stop all clinical drug trials immediately; and the District Collector had instructed the Principal, Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam, to conduct a detailed departmental enquiry of this issue.
The Principal, Andhra Medical College (AMC), Visakhapatnam, had constituted an enquiry committee and ordered to conduct a detailed enquiry. The enquiry committee had completed its enquiry and submitted its report to the then Principal, Dr.G.Santaram on 22nd May 2012. It is learnt that there is prima face’ evidence supporting the fraud committed by Dr.N.N.Raju and Dr.G.Bhagyarao was found by the enquiry committee, sufficient enough for taking disciplinary action against these people.
As Dr,N.N.Raju is working as Vice-Principal, AMC, & Superintendent, G.H.M.C., he managed to suppress this enquiry report from reaching the higher authorities and now making attempts to destroy evidence against his fraudulent actions.
Now instead of taking action on these people, the enquiry committee’s report was kept in cold storage and no action was taken by either the principal, or the district Collector, or Director of Medical Education, or the Principal Secretary, Department of Health and Family Welfare.
. I request you to take the following actions regarding this issue,.
1. Dr.N.N.Raju must be suspended immediately or transferred to a place outside Visakhapatnam on administrative grounds as he is manipulating the enquiry reports.
2. A suitable detailed enquiry by a professional investigative agency like CBI, should be ordered into this issue and the facts regarding the ‘Psychiatric Research Forum’, and the details of the corruption and disproportionate assets of Dr.N.N.Raju must be ascertained.
3. The guilty and offending officers including Dr.N.N.Raju must be punished.
With regards,
Yours faith fully,
(Dr.Ramanand Satapathy.)
