R CM Dare to take Return back prime plot Owned Gandhi Family Trust


from year 1983 continuesly by giving extension to Ms Associate  Journal ltd a plot around 3479.26 sq mt, a prime location plot at Bandra which now owns to Gandhi Family. This come light by RTI query. Athak Seva Sanghy demand  to Chief  MInister of Maharastra that cancel the lease & take back the prime location plot & construct a  Hostel for Schedule Cast Student which is  originally purpose in 1964 

Ms Associated Journal company that publishes National Herald and Quami Awaz was allotted a prime plot of land by the government of Maharashtra in suburban Mumbai, ostensibly for a press and a Nehru memorial library, neither of which was built. While a large part of the plot remains vacant after being allotted in 1983. State govt favor bcz its owns to Gandhi Family Trust even their is rule that if lease owner not develped the alloted plot within 2 years, Govt have power to took back the plot. But Govt always give priority & Revenue minister in 2001 arrange special meeting to help out the company though their is clear cut Collecter office report that the lease company violated the land rule & should pay around 3.77 cr rupess to govt. Interesting that One portion was parcelled off in 2000 to a housing society floated by Congressman Rajiv Chavan in which former Mumbai Congress chief Kripashankar Singh is a member.IAS officer Jairaj Phatak, Swadhin Kstriaya,H K Jawale, Jt CP Himashu Roy,Kishore Gajbeye are also member of said society. This land, facing the Western Express Highway and a stone’s throw away from Bandra station, is now home to Sai Prasad Housing Society, home to Singh, Chavan and a bunch of top bureaucrats some of who already own other properties in the city and some others who are under the scanner in the Adarsh scam
.
We used the Right to Information Act to obtain details about the plot on which Sai Prasad building stands, has now written to chief minister Prithviraj Chavan demanding that Associated Journal Ltd’s land be taken back by the government. 
“The plot was given for daily news publication, a Nehru library and a research centre in 1983 but it is still as it is. The government should take the land back and build a hostel for students (Scheduled Caste) for which it was originally reserved,” Athak Seva Sangh letter dated November 2 says.

Not only did Associated Journals not construct the press building and library, but it also managed to obtain repeated extensions from the state government while continuing to hold on to the 30-year lease, which now expires next year. Also, sources said the company owes a sum of over Rs3.76 crore to the state government in unpaid lease rent.
When a part of the plot was allotted to Sai Prasad, Singh was guardian minister for the Mumbai suburban region.
“Will you as chief minister be able to initiate proceedings for the state government to reclaim land that is now under the control of Rahul Gandhi? There is a question about this,” We said in his letter. The company Young Indian, which now controls Associated Journals has its eye on the latter’s considerable real estate assets. Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are among the main shareholders of Young Indian.
