After Natarajan's charge, NDA may review UPA green clearances

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the outbursts by the former environment minister against the Congress Vice President showed that the UPA government was a practitioner of "sadistic" economy and "crony capitalism".
  
"I hope the Environment ministry now will go into each of these permissions which were granted and not granted and make sure that these are expeditiously dealt with only as per law and no other consideration," Jaitley told reporters.
  
Natarajan's letter to Sonia Gandhi "conclusively establishes" that it was not the statutory or mandatory considerations which weighed with the Congress but only "whims" of the leaders, the Finance Minister charged.

The Finance Minister was reacting to Natarajan's letter to the Congress President alleging that she had received specific requests from Rahul Gandhi on environmental clearances and consequently had rejected big ticket projects.

Former DMK leader Khushboo joins Congress

Forty-four-year-old Khushboo joined the party in presence of Congress President Sonia Gandhi whom she met at her 10 Janpath residence.
   
She had quit M Karunanidhi's party in June saying her "hard work for the DMK had been a one-way path". She had joined DMK in 2010, when it was in power in Tamil Nadu.
   
Considered one of the finest actors in south Indian cinema, Khushboo has worked in over 100 films and shared screen space with superstars like Rajnikanth, Kamal Hassan, Mammootty and Mohanlal.
   
In 2010, the Supreme Court had cleared Khushboo of 22 cases filed against her for her remarks on pre-martial sex in an interview to a magazine in 2005.
   
Her joining the Congress is seen as a small boost for the party which has been reduced to a marginal player in Tamil Nadu politics.
   
It did not win a single seat in the Lok Sabha election in May. The party had also recently suffered another blow when its senior leader and former Union minister G K Vasan announced his own outfit.

गुरुवार को भोपाल एयरपोर्ट पर संवाददाताओं से बातचीत के दौरान उन्होंने कहा कि उनके बचाव में कोई पार्टी नहीं है। उन्हें किसी के साथ की जरूरत नहीं है। गहलोत सरकार की ओर से उन्हें मिल रहे समर्थन की बात पर भी वे भड़क गए। 

इससे पहले जोधपुर पुलिस ने बापू को चेताया था कि अगर वे 30 अगस्त तक खुद को पुलिस के हवाले नहीं करते हैं तो 31 अगस्त को पुलिस उन्हें गिरफ्तार कर लेगी। पुलिस का कहना है कि वो 30 अगस्त तक ही इंतजार करेगी और उसके बाद कोई कदम उठाएगी। हालांकि बापू (Asaram Bapu) ने कह दिया था कि वे 30 अगस्त को पेश नहीं हो पाएंगे।
