DMK leader Karunanidhi charges M.G. Ramachandran govt with shipping deal scam
The tall claim of the Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (Aiadmk) Government headed by M.G. Ramachandran of providing a corruption free administration was demolished with documentary evidence in a spellbound 85 minute speech by the DMK opposition leader, M. Karunanidhi in the Tamil Nadu Assembly during a censure motion debate.
Close on the heels of this marathon performance came the Madras High Court judgement, striking down the selection of 10 students to medical colleges as being "arbitrary." MGR was directly responsible for their selection outside the prescribed norms, which he justified on the floor of the Assembly. The division bench of the High Court, in its judgement, recorded its "very strong disapproval in correcting a record after it was produced before the court. We have no doubt that whosoever was responsible for this correction should have done so with a clear intention of misdirecting the court by creating false evidence."
Norms Defied: When the Andhra High Court passed a much milder censure against Neelam Sanjiva Reddy when he was chief minister of his home state, he did not tarry even for a moment to step down from the high office.
The piece de resistance of Karunanidhi's expose of MGR, described as "the scandal of the century", was the attempt to make a tidy rake off of Rs 4 crore in a shipping deal, how it was frustrated by a vigilant IAS officer, and the price the officer had to pay for spoiling the game. MGR made a vain attempt to sidetrack the issue by offering to step down if it was proved that he or any of his party colleagues had received a single paise in the deal. The burden of Karunanidhi's charge was that the attempt was frustrated by an official. Subsequently, MGR offered to face a judicial inquiry. Even two weeks after the bold offer, no move has been made in that direction.
The Tamil Nadu Government floated Poompuhar Shipping Corporation in 1975 to transport coal to its thermal power plants. It acquired two ships, Tamil Anna from a Japanese firm and Tamil Periyar from a Birla company. After incurring heavy losses, both the ships were scrapped. In 1976, when the state was under President's rule, it was decided to wind up the corporation.

Came the MGR Ministry the year after and it was determined to keep the corporation afloat, recurring losses notwithstanding. Poompuhar negotiated with Bulgaria for the purchase of three ships of 38,000 DWT each, to be financed by the Government of India's shipping development fund. The Bulgarian firm offered the ships at Rs 8.4 crore each.
Underhand Dealings: The Tamil Nadu Government, instead, negotiated the deal through a broker who belonged to the charmed circle of MGR cronies to buy them at Rs 10.4 crore each, with a view to cornering the difference as commission, the lions share going to MGR, said Karunanidhi. Producing 16 papers, including copies of telex messages and letters as documentary evidence, Karunanidhi said the team of officials who went to Bulgaria to finalise the deal and sign the contract, settled for a lower price, unaware of the underhand dealings entered into through the broker.
Irked by this unexpected turn of events, the Government decided to defer the deal, and advised the Shipping Development Fund Committee in Delhi accordingly. Tocho Tochev, the Bulgarian Ambassador in Delhi, who was to inaugurate a Bulgarian-Tamil Nadu friendship association in Madras to coincide with the delivery of the first ship, called off his visit to the city.
K.S. Ramakrishnan, the IAS officer, who was managing director of Poompuhar Shipping Corporation, a member of the official team to Bulgaria, and responsible for detecting the conspiracy, found to his dismay that instead of being patted on the back for a job well done, he was being relieved of his post. Jid Singh Bhango, another IAS official included in the team to Bulgaria, died suddenly in Madras under suspicious circumstances. H. N. Singh, the third member, also belonging to the IAS, and presently Home Secretary to the State Government, is about to be shunted to an innocuous assignment.
This sordid episode speaks volumes for the "corruption-free administration" promised by MGR on assuming office 30 months ago.
