essar vs essar
Parimal Nathwani (businessman), RK Anand, (advocate), Nishikant Dube (facilitator of Essar Group), and KD Singh (businessman from Chandigarh)
have all become Rajya Sabha Members from Jharkhand without having any
political base in the state. So Anshuman Mishra cannot be faulted for
thinking that he too could aspire to be a Rajya Sabha member as he was
close to BJP President Nitin Gadkari. He had been helping Gadkari and
the BJP for the last five years with all the possible means at his
disposal. But his claim opened a pandora’s box within the BJP. Everybody
was surprised when it was noticed that Jet Airways owner Naresh Goyal,
Kumar-amangalam Birla and the Ruia brothers were advocating in his
favour. Mishra is chairman and co-Founder of MPH Holdings and was most
recently employed by Investec Bank in London, UK. He came into the
limelight when he introduced Subrato Sahara to Bill Clinton during his
visit to India as US President. Mishra has been instrumental in creating
an aircraft finance business in India, a media company in Mumbai and
a business advisory company. A Deepak Chopra acquaintance and disciple
of Mahesh Yogi, Mishra’s gameplan was punctured by none other than
Nishikant Dube, who is said to be close to Arun Jaitley. The fact is
that Dubey, who has until now managed corporate lobbying for the Ruia
brothers (the Essar Group), did not want another Brahmin face
from Jharkhand. Also, Dubey wasn’t quite happy with Mishra’s new-found
friendship with his corporate bosses, Shashi and Prashant Ruia. In the
entire circus, the real winner was SS Ahluwalia, who is close to both
Sushma Swaraj and Lal Krishna Advani. Had Gadkari been able to get
Ahluwalia elected from anywhere else, Anshuman Mishra would have been in
Parliament without a noise.g
