Venus Energy - "Gudisela" G. Venkataswamy's Company - Blatant violation of tribal zone and government property

Venus Energy owned by the kin of the veteran Congress leader, Mr. G. Venkataswamy, the so-called doyen of the backward class and the downtrodden, has been granted permission to take up a 20 MW hydro power project on the Silair river, between Orissa and Andhra Pradesh. This project has been granted permission despite the fact that it is in a tribal area and is a blatant violation of all laws that are in place to protect tribals. The State of Andhra Pradesh and/or the State of Orissa can very well take up this project with their own funds and there would be no loss to the exchequer and the funds can be used for the welfare of the downtrodden tribals of the Silair region. They could also make it a fair deal by opening up the project for open bidding for all companies and give it to the highest bidder.

The only party that will benefit from this deal is Mr. G. Venkataswamy and his kin. This is clearly using political influence for personal gain. When Mr. Rahul Gandhi is running around in Orissa to protect tribal interests, why can't he prevent his own partymen misusing state resources?
