Crimes by Jogis- Ajit Jogi and Amit Jogi crimes

Ajit Jogi is the first Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh. He ruled for 3 years from November 2000 when the state was carved out of Madhya Pradesh to 4 December 2003. A mechanical engineer passing from the Maulana Azad NIT (then REC) in Bhopal in 1967, he later passed IAS. Later he joined the Congress and was the favorite of Rajiv Gandhi and also Sonia Gandhi. His wife is Renu Jogi and son is Amit Jogi. 

 It will take an encyclopedia to even compile the list of crimes committed by the Jogi family- Jogi father son duo. Let us first see the issues involving Amit Jogi:


 1- Amit Jogi is the prime accused in the Ram Avtar Jaggi murder case. NCP Chhattisgarh treasurer was murdered on 4 June 2003. Few months earlier V C Shukla had left the Congress to join NCP along with his supporters. Ajit Jogi- the then Chief Minister- was miffed at this, and managed to get back many of Shukla's men from NCP back to the Congress. But Ram Avtar Jaggi did not return and stayed with V C Shukla and was murdered on 4 June 2003. Even the Congress Bureau of Investigation said Amit Jogi was the brain and the prime conspirator in this.

 Jogi was acquitted by the trial court in 2007. But the CBI filed an appeal against his acquittal. Actually the CBI urged the Central Government to give permission for filing an appeal, which was delayed for 4 years, and as soon as the permission was got, it filed an appeal.

2- Amit Jogi gave the IAS exam in 2001 despite being a US citizen under the SC category when his father Ajit Jogi was the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh. http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2003-10-14/indians-abroad/27184771_1_indian-citizenship-amit-jogi-home-ministry 

 3- The Times of India reported that his parents got an ST certificate for him in 1986 at Bilaspur though he was a US citizen at that time, which is illegal. Same article as above. 

 4- It is alleged that Amit Jogi gave the IAS on the fake ST certificate, though he claims he had informed the UPSC of his being a US citizen. But it is not possible to give IAS 'informing' anyone and the concerned people also denied anything like this, meaning that the charge that Amit Jogi used his fake certificate made in 1986 to give IAS seems to be true.

 5- Amit Jogi was a US citizen and got Indian citizenship only in July 2004. His Indian visa expired on 31 October 2003 yet he continued to stay illegally in India even more than 1 and a half months after his visa expired. He was a holder of US passport no Z-7912540, on a long-term visa, valid for five years from its issue in October 1998.

6- The CBI, as good as Congress Bureau of Investigation, also said in July 2005 (Under UPA rule) that Amit Jogi was behind the sting operation of Dilip Singh Judeo. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Amit-Jogi-behind-Judeo-sting-CBI/articleshow/1178316.cms 

7- Even Congress loyalist Outlook reported the role of Jogis in this case. http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?222589 

8- Of course, now it has come to light that Amit Jogi gave 3 different versions of his birthplace and date of birth.

These are just the issues involving Amit Jogi. The Cash-for-MLAs scam of 2003 in which Ajit Jogi, Amit Jogi and SONIA GANDHI are all involved is given here. http://secularjournalists.blogspot.in/2013/05/the-cbi-has-targetted-now-former.html

Ajit Jogi's issues  

1- KODAR DAM: First case of financial impropriety was filed in 1980-81 when the Kodar dam was under construction during Jogi's collectorship in Raipur. This was when as IAS he was Collector and had not resigned from IAS to join politics.

2- HELP TO CIA: During his collectorship in Indore in 1981-85, he was accused of stealing design papers from CAT, Indore (a defence installation) and selling them to the CIA. The charges were never proved but another charge of appropriating land belonging to Church of North India to build a colony was also instituted.

3- FAKE CERTIFICATE: Jogi's ST certificate has been issued by a Pendra tehsildar in 1967. All cases challenging it have been clubbed in the Bilaspur High Court, which will also decide whether the SC/ST Commission of India order proclaiming him an SC (and NOT an ST which he claims) is correct.

4- JUDEV SCAM: The CBI is investigating the Judev VCD. It has tracked certain e-mails by Amit Jogi claiming to have carried out a Tehelka II. Along with Amit, Ajit Jogi is also alleged to have been behind the CD. We have seen CBI and Outlook showing their hands in Amit Jogi's issues above.


Ajit Jogi told a lot more about the Judeo CD than anyone would know. Immediately after Dilip Singh Judeo's press conference in Raipur on Sunday, Jogi had called a press meet where he said the money transaction had taken place in the Taj Hotel in New Delhi. He had also said the money paid to Judeo was more than what Bangaru Laxman had accepted from the Tehelka frontmen. However, neither the newspaper that broke the story nor cable news channels had given these specifications. Then how could Ajit Jogi have known this unless he had a hand in the entire episode? This was also charged by the BJP leader Arun Jaitley.

Congress loyalist weekly Outlook also gave details of Jogi father-son duo's hands in the case. 

5- In May 2011, there was a Lok Sabha bypoll to Bastar seat in Chhattisgarh.  Ajit Jogi was caught on camera distributing cash to voters at an election rally in Bastar, where LS by-poll were held on May 8. 

As a matter of fact, the LS bypoll was held due to death of sitting MP Baliram Kashyap, whose sons were killed by Naxals in September 2009. He was the man who Ajit Jogi tried to install as Chief Minister in December 2003 after losing polls by wooing some BJP MLAs through money, and forming a government with Congress support in the infamous Cash-for-MLA case. 

6- In July 2013 there were further reports of caste certificate of Jogi being fake.The Telegraph reported that the Raman Singh-led BJP government is set to make public a report that says the Congress leader is not a tribal and possesses a fake caste certificate.The state government had set up a high-level, quasi-judicial body to look into Jogi’s caste certificate on a directive from the Supreme Court, which had found evidence on his caste inconclusive while dismissing a petition a few years ago. 

7- Ajit Jogi is also accused of using forged documents while applying for petrol pumps in 1996. BJP spokesman, Prakash Javadekar, said in Nov 2003 that two separate affidavits filed by Jogi in November 1996 said that he was domiciled in Delhi and that the combined income of his family was "not more than Rs. 50,000" in 1993-94 and 1994-95. However, the BJP claimed that it had obtained an income certificate of his wife, Renu Jogi, from the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College, where she was then working, showing that her income in 1993-94 was Rs. 85,946 and in the following year it was Rs. 95,170.

 Armed with this "document", Nand Kumar Sai, the BJP's candidate against Mr. Jogi in the Mirwahi Assembly constituency in Chhattisgarh, in the 2003 polls  filed a case with the Metropolitan Magistrate, Patiala Courts  charging  Jogi with cheating. 

8- In April 2003 Ajit Jogi claimed to present an IB document as proof of 'witch hunt' by the then NDA government. But this document was also fake, and the Central Bureau of Investigation filed a charge sheet in October 2003 against Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Ajit Jogi for using forged documents to tarnish the Intelligence Bureau's image.
In March 2003, Jogi had alleged that IB's Special Directorate had launched an operation code-named 'Black Sea' to target opposition leaders in the run-up to the elections in Congress-ruled states. The IB all along has denied that there was any operation codenamed 'Black Sea'.

9-  In Nov 2013, while campaigning before the Chhattisgarh polls, he said addressing tribals that they will get an 'electric shock' if they press any button than the Congress' on the Electronic Voting Machine on the polling day while voting. This is on video recording. This is an offence- intimidating voters with fear and basically misguiding gullible tribals. He got a notice from the Election Commission for this.

10- Ajit Jogi is also an accused co-conspirator in the murder of NCP Chhattisgarh treasurer Ram Avtar Jaggi. In Feb 2006 CNN-IBN reported that the CBI has already prepared a draft chargesheet against him in the cash-for-MLAs scam and it is also likely that he might be implicated in the Ram Avtar Jaggi murder case as well. 

11- Ajit Jogi also used government aircraft for party President Sonia Gandhi's work which is also not permitted. The Election Commission trained its ire on former Chhattisgarh chief minister Ajit Jogi and Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh for having used state government aircraft during the December Assembly elections but let off Congress president Sonia Gandhi lightly for a similar act.The Commission had issued a showcause notice to the Congress in Nov 2003 asking why it should not be de-recognised in the wake of its president Sonia Gandhi and Chhattisgarh chief minister and Speaker having used the Chhattisgarh government aircraft for travel while the model code of conduct was in force. The Commission directed the Congress that it must reimburse within 30 days either from its own funds or by recovering from Mr Jogi the total costs of the seven flights undertaken by him and the two flights taken by Ms Gandhi in the Chhattisgarh government aircraft.

   These are legal cases. But there are several other doubts and suspicions on Jogi also. He also said as Chhattisgarh CM in Feb 2003 that tribals are not Hindus.
