Questions Ananth Kumar Did Not Answer
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:7 IST)
Without mincing words, can you say what stops the government from taking an initiative and persuading the Tatas to go ahead with the two projects -- Tata-SIA JV for airline and the Bangalore airport?

Do you really believe Hegde and Co will allow control of Karnataka to pass from their hands? What about the lucrative arrack contracts?
Maharish (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:12 IST)
Mr Ananth, you have won consistently. What makes you a winner? Secondly, political parties field celebrity names as candidates. Is that fair?
seema (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:14 IST)
Good evening, Mr. Ananth Kumar, our best wishes from Colorado Springs

Namaskaram, Mr Ananth Kumar. You were vehemently opposed to the inclusion of the discredited J H Patel faction in the NDA. Yet the central leadership went ahead with it. Don't you think Fernandes and Hegde blackmailed the BJP into allowing Patel in?
Raghu (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:26 IST)
Mr Kumar: How many seats you expect to win in Karnataka assembly and parliamentary elections?
sema (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:28 IST)
What have you planned for the coming years?
rumman (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:29 IST)
Why were u opposed to the entry of the JD (U)?
AnandR (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:29 IST)
Mr Kumar, I don't think you should trust George Fernandes and Ramakrishna Hegde too much. I get the feeling that if they return with a substantial number of seats this time, they could be your new Jayalalitha, demanding a bigger share of the pie.
AnandR (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:32 IST)
Mr Kumar, I beg to differ. The other three were full-fledged wars, Kargil was a border conflict. It never escalated into a full war.
AnandR (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:33 IST)
Mr Kumar, say that report isn't true, about you lifting cutlery, please.
Lionel Castro (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:33 IST)
Mr Kumar: Why your partner Bajrang Dal is terrorizing our poor priests? I mean, why they have to attack minorities?
AnandR (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:34 IST)
But Mr Kumar, your party has been opposing the airline project for so long. It would have been passed long ago, but for the opposition from Pramod Mahajan. How do you propose to tackle that, if the Tatas apply again?
Salim topiwala (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:35 IST)
Anandji: What is the future of Mr Jaffer Shariff from B'lore?
ManishG (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:36 IST)
Even now we don't control POK, so why don't you make it official for the sake of our future generations?
rumman (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:36 IST)
Don't u think that raising Sonia's foreign origin shows a lack of issues for the BJP?
Nandita (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:38 IST)
Mr Ananth Kumar: So does it mean that Centaur provides third rate quality of spoons and forks in FIVE STAR HOTEL. NOW, WE KNOW, WHY ITDC HOTELS ARE LOSS-MAKING.
rumman (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:38 IST)
Srikrishna Commission report, killing of Graham Staines... What does ur government have to show to minorities?
rumman (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:41 IST)
Don't u think that the BJP is also creating a personality cult around Mr Vajpayee, just as the Congress is doing with Sonia?
Gayatri (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:48 IST)
Mr Kumar: Do you trust these socialists wholly! I mean they can never be trusted. You see they have split so many times and create havoc for the Janata Party. Does Mr Madhu Limaye's ghost haunts you all?
Princess (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:51 IST)
How do you see Yediyurappa as the next Karnataka chief minister?
AnandR (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:51 IST)
So you mean Hindutva is co-terminus with Indianness?
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:58 IST)
Sir, Indian Airlines is a state-controlled business enterprise, right? Run with tax-payers' money, right? It has to earn profits, right? So why is the govt allowing IA to offer discounts etc at a loss?
AnandR (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:58 IST)
It's very difficult, sir. I can't imagine Hegde as either Morarji or JP!
Princess (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:58 IST)
Right Mr Kumar.. But do you think Yediyurappa is such a person?
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:11 IST)
Now, just curious. For years, H S Khola has been the DGCA. Does India have able successors for him when he eventually, mercifully, retires?
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:16 IST)
What is your single biggest achievement as CA Minister? Somewhere I read that you are very happy being an inauguration minister rather than foundation stone minister... :-)
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:17 IST)
Why does not the government dispel the uncertainty over the entry of foreign airlines into domestic aviation sector? Why can't you say a plain YES or NO, instead of dithering?
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:19 IST)
Given a choice next time, would you like to be CA Minister again? Or would you like to become PM of a coalition govt that has Jayalalitha as partner? :-)
AnandR (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:24 IST)
Mr Kumar, why should the lord, who is the progenitor of the entire Universe, consider just a speck like India his homeland? I think that's ridiculous!!
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:25 IST)
I'm honoured sir that you've addressed me as "friend". Pritish Nandy wrote a glowing piece about Anil Baijal who allegedly understands the industry inside out, with facts and figures on his fingertips. Do you also understand it that way? What Rahul Bajaj, Ratan Tata, Yogi Deveshwar, Russy Modi could not achieve, will Baijal do that?
AnandR (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:25 IST)
Why are so many private airlines closing down or in bad shape? Why isn't the promise of a level playing field being kept?
raghu (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:25 IST)
Why did your govt. not take up the case of mutilation of our jawans during the Kargil Conflict? Don't you think we should ask Pakistan to pay for the crimes?
AnandR (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:26 IST)
Infinite Kumar... Isn't Baijal the man who made a mess of the Ashoka Hotels? He surely will deliver Indian Airlines from its misery. :))
AnandR (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:27 IST)
Indeed, Mr Kumar. We are all waiting to see when Advani & Co will go to jail for breaking their promise to the Supreme Court.
ManishG (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:28 IST)
Thanks Mr Ananth, but at least, on your part, what about providing flights to all the state capitols from Mumbai/Delhi, say at around 2 am. I guess most of us would love to go to their home and sleep, instead of waiting at the airport/hotel.
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:30 IST)
Why does not the govt be a little more pro-active and actively encourage the private sector to build airports like the one in Cochin, where it has been promoted by the public? Create the right atmosphere, sir, then aviation infrastructure scene will improve. PLEASE.
rumman (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:59 IST)
What do u have to say about the VHP and the RSS distributing Ramcharitmanas among the injured jawans. Wasn't it a blatant attempt to communalise the armed forces?
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 6:59 IST)
So, was Dr Manmohan Singh right when he alleged, on the floor of the house, that the ATR-42 deal could be behind the midnight massacre of a mid-term joint board of Air-India and Indian Airlines?
Srinivas (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:0 IST)
Mr Ananth Kumarji. It is very frustrating to see elections again and again in our country. Can we seriously think of amending the constitution and concentrate on development. When do you think we can say India is a "DEVELOPED COUNTRY" on par with other industrialized nations?
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:1 IST)
Your ministry has seldom been pro-active. Always expects the private sector to sing to the government's tune. At this rate, when will the civil aviation sector improve?
ManishG (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:4 IST)
Mr Ananth, I fail to understand why does a government needs to run industries (eg, airlines). When could we expect that the Govt of India will just govern, not lose people's hard-earned money in loss-making business?
AnandR (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:7 IST)
Mr Kumar, earlier your party was screaming for the right to recall representatives. Now you want an amendment to the Constitution to ensure a five-year tenure for the Lok Sabha. How do you reconcile this doublespeak?
saha (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:8 IST)
I am extremely impressed by your statements, sir. Thank you.
Srini (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:30 IST)
Ananthji, Can you come out with a scheme for NRI relocating to India, provide them with lowa rates for their cargo's on Air India flights. This will generate US dollars for India. Thanks.
srihari (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:30 IST)
"In India, law and justice takes its own course, that is putting the wrongdoers into prison". Then what is holding up the justice to take its own course. I mean, why the delay?
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:31 IST)
Ok sir, thanks a lot for answering several queries. Here's wishing you luck. Best wishes. May you become the Prime Minister one day.
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:31 IST)
VOTE FOR THE BJP. VOTE FOR ANANTH KUMAR.
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:32 IST)
The BJP is all set for a resounding victory. Sonia Gandhi will be defeated by Sushma Swaraj in Bellary. Ananth Kumar is next PM.
Infinite Kumar (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:34 IST)

KumaranS (Fri Sep 10 1999 7:49 IST)
Mr.AnantJi, I am Kumaran, Jyothi's husband. I am coming to India. I will meet you there. May the almighty give you a great victory.
cariappa (Fri Sep 10 1999 8:4 IST)
Dear Ananth Kumar, do good for bangalore
dude (Fri Sep 10 1999 8:35 IST)
It's a known fact that most educated people are supporters of BJP. So our main aim should be to make those people come out and vote. It applies to people from the urban pockets mainly. Hope u bring this to the notice of the party workers. GOOD LUCK.
Subash Ghai (Fri Sep 10 1999 8:57 IST)
Mr.Minister, did you know that you resemble Charlie Chaplin?
Deepak (Sat Sep 11 1999 2:33 IST)
