When it comes to scams in India, people often remember the old days of Congress rule in their minds. Big frauds and government connections come to light immediately. But let’s think a little differently now. What about money misappropriation and suspicious deals under BJP rule? These stories have a very bad effect on public money and trust. In this post, we will take an in-depth look at the ten main controversies. We will look at the claims, results and their importance to India’s economy. Consider it like removing the veil on power and profit. You have the right to know the truth so that you can see how all this happens.

1. Adani Group’s Financial Glitches: Market Fluctuations And Allegations

Hindenburg Research Report results

An American firm named Hindenburg made a major revelation in 2023. He accused Adani Group of deliberately increasing stock prices. He said shell companies bought shares to raise prices, then sold them to make quick money. He said that these moves were hidden in the financial report. This dealt a huge blow to Adani in the coal, power and green energy sectors. Investors lost confidence overnight. The report presented a picture of fake growth. Adani’s market value fell by more than $120 billion within days. The Indian stock market also shook. Small traders panicked and sold the shares, further increasing the decline. If this is true, then this scam raises questions about the depth of corruption in big business.

Regulatory response and official stance

Adani termed all these allegations as lies and a dirty attack in his name. He promised to work with monitoring agencies like SEBI. That agency is now investigating every claim to find out the truth. If everything is found to be fine then people’s trust can come back. But if proven guilty, investors’ confidence may be shaken for years. What does this have to do with BJP? Adani often gets good deals from the government. Critics say that leaders do not pay attention to this. If power saves fraud, common people have to pay the price. This has an impact on the economy, and questions remain over real surveillance.

2. Vyapam Scam: Corruption In Recruitment In Madhya Pradesh

Method of error in examination

In 2013, Madhya Pradesh had a government of BJP. Vyapam used to conduct examinations for government jobs. But it was rigged on a large scale. Answer sheets leaked. Seats were purchased by paying bribes. There was no need for hard work – just cash or acquaintance. The dreams of millions of youth were shattered. This was no small thing. It made Merritt a joke. Wealthy children or those inside occupied places that were meant for those entitled. The scandal spread to medical and teacher jobs. As soon as the news spread, anger erupted among the people.

Revealing deep-rooted networks

Leaders, officials and middlemen were tied in a strong net. Like the Mafia, they were selling people’s futures for fees. Education suffered badly; jobs fell into the wrong hands. Protests took place on the streets. #VyapamScam started trending on social media. The world saw India getting troubled. The investigation was followed by arrests and prison sentences. Some people were punished. But was that enough? The roots were very deep. Did everyone get justice? Many people doubt this. The scandal showed how power erodes fairness.

3. Gujarat Fisheries Subsidy Scam: Paper Lion And Financial Losses

Misappropriation in Matsya Kisan Yojana exposed

Gujarat Fisheries Department launched a scheme for fish farmers. Subsidies helped real workers to expand their work. But fake people also jumped into it. “Paper fish farmers” were only on paper. They grabbed the money without any pond. In this way more than ₹400 million disappeared. Honest farmers were left behind. Their true needs were ignored. Government help became open booty for the ghosts. How did the papers fool the system so easily?

Impact on real fishermen and collusion with officials

Real people had to face more difficulties in Gujarat. The subsidy they received went somewhere else. His livelihood was in danger. The investigation revealed links between officials and collusion with local leaders. Did they help with the fraud? The poor were most affected by this loss. Questions arise: Who pocketed the remaining money? Questions arise over the local hold of the BJP. The whole truth was buried, leaving the fishermen in limbo.

4. High-Profile Extradition Failures: Mallya And Modi

Lalit Modi IPL controversy and political relations

In 2008, IPL brought life to cricket because of Lalit Modi. Glamour hid the mess. By 2010, allegations began to arise: suspicious team sales, kickbacks in TV deals, money laundering. BCCI immediately suspended him. He immediately fled to London. Talks of help started with big leaders of BJP. Rajasthan’s Vasundhara Raje and Sushma Swaraj were accused of helping in the documents. He flatly refused. But this link damaged the clean image of the party. Extradition is still under way. UK courts are hindering India’s efforts.

How did you get out so easily? Fans and tax payers are shocked. Vijay Mallya’s escape and meeting Arun Jaitley Kingfisher Airlines once flew very high. Vijay Mallya built an empire on beer and jets. By 2016, debt piled up. Banks were after to recover ₹9,000 crore dues. Employees did not receive salaries. Then, suddenly—he ran away to UK. A few days ago, he met Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. Was it just a coincidence? Jaitley said there was no wrongdoing. The opposition accused him of hiding it. The media tossed it up a lot. This escape further increased the talk of scam. India wants his return. Banks are waiting for money. Mallya’s luxury life abroad makes fun of the mess left behind.

Nirav Modi diamond scam and high-level connections

Nirav Modi shone as a jewelery king. Their shops shone all over the world. In 2018, Punjab National Bank alleged fraud. He and his relatives embezzled ₹13,000 crore in fake loans. had no real guarantee—just abused trust. He also disappeared with the rumor of a fake passport. In the pictures he was seen in a friendly manner with PM Modi. Relationship with BJP leaders? The claims say yes, which made it easier for them to escape. The party calls it politics, there is no evidence. He is now caught in London. The fight for extradition continues. This scam has hurt banks and trust. Who kept the fox to guard the henhouse?

5. Land Allotment Scam: Charges Of Crony Capitalism

Gujarat coastal land allotment scam

In 2010, 422 acres of land along the Arabian Sea were given away cheaply. Wild Woods resorts got it for ₹1 per square meter. Market rate? ₹10. It’s 92% discount— like selling gold for pennies. Partner was associated with Anar, daughter of then CM Anandiben Patel. Business deals had brought him closer. Was there family interference in this? This plot was near Gir forest, which is a safe place for animals. Cheap land clearly shows that it has been favored.

Investigation on ecological impact and transparency

Building there is a threat to animal houses. Eco-balance is at risk. The government swears that it followed the rules and used old rates. CBI investigated, but no major revelations have been made yet. Doubt still remains. Did Power break the laws of the land? People are keeping an eye on such special deals.

6. Big Defence And Telecom Glitches

Rafale fighter jet deal controversy

Rafael Jets created a storm in 2018. The BJP government purchased 36 jets from France. The opposition accused the UPA of paying a higher price than the deal. Also, HAL was ignored for Anil Ambani’s firm. Nepotism? They say yes. Prices were kept secret. Protests took place in Parliament and on the streets. Did friends benefit from offset? This fight raises questions about defense money.

Spectrum allocation under the first-low, first-served model

Spectrum powers your phone calls. According to critics, BJP adopted a first-come, first-served model, abandoning the auction. Congress cited CAG: ₹99,381 crore lost. The Supreme Court had set auction rules – were they ignored? Pawan Kheda strongly criticized it. Old CAG Vinod Rai was asked to speak. Telecom runs on fair play. This change seemed suspicious to many.

7. Maharashtra Chikki Scam: Irregular Purchases In Social Welfare

PWD Minister Pankaja Munde and irregular procurement

Pankaja Munde was running the Department of Women and Child Welfare in 2015. He approved the purchase of ₹206 million – without any tender. Chikki, notebooks, filters – everything bought in a hurry through 24 one-day offers. The rules were flouted. The opposition accused him of corruption. ACB investigated deeply. Was it a bribe or just a hurry?

The outcome of the investigation and the doubts that remain

The ACB acquitted him in 2016 – no evidence was found. BJP heaved a sigh of relief. But doubters question speed. No bidding means no fair competition. Politics complicates it further. Was the real scam hidden? The children of Maharashtra should have got better.

Conclusion: A Series Of Unanswered Questions
