EMRI /108

Satyam row will have no impact on Karnataka: Acharya
Bangalore, PTI:
The major financial fraud in Satyam Computers will have no impact on the Karnataka Government's ambitious healthcare programme "Arogya Kavacha", an emergency ambulance service, home minister V S Acharya said.The Hyderabad based EMRI organisation funded by Satyam has been providing the "dial up 108" for emergency ambulance service in Karnataka, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. The service was recently launched in the state."EMRI is managed by an independent trust. The Trust has promised that the development in Satyam will not have any bearing on the scheme," he told reporters,while responding to queries.
V P Baligar, Principal Secretary to Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa dismissed speculations that some infrastructure projects awarded to Mytas Infrastructure in the city would be affected. "The firm has assured that it would complete them," he said, referring to the elevated road project on Hosur road and flyovers in parts of the city.

Dear Sir,

Every one knows regarding the Satyam & it's ethics in business community now.

I really failed to understand how the business will not be affected?

When the bank itself doesn't have money how can we go and ask for loan? I think we can take the same logic in Satyam case also.

How Satyam was chosen for this prestigious project? why even other IT companies were not considered for this project? Is there any answer?

If Government is so concerned about this development work - why no government works mention the time line? Why ordinary citizens can't check the data like - cost vs time line, actual plan vs real plan, follow up on dead lines - PROJECT PLAN: every company involved in service business knows how to do it...why our government can't do it.

I am going little out of topic here:

Always, we see your blog complaining about step motherly treatment from Center? We have never seen Mr. Narendra Modi doing the same thing!

I attend Pravas Bhartiya Program in Chennai - it was treat to watch Mr. Narendra Singh Modi especially his aggressive tone....we don't have any ministers in Karnataka to do that......

Was surprised to hear from a Government Giving a clean chit even without knowing whats behind, let me tell you EMRI is a Society with Raju and his family members as 100 % share holders, Any director appointed or removed from Board of EMRI can be done by Raju himself even today.

I wanted to respond to Satish and Anonymous.

Let us not be like Americans. Let us not condemn every act of a person because of one mistake.

Yes, Raju has cheated and because of it, today industry is facing severe crisis.

But, let us also learn that there is a good side of him that we have to appreciate.

He has started a wonderful service like EMRI - which saved thousands of lives. He has created employment for thousands of people. He has built a giant software company that has helped India.

We must take severe steps so that no one repeats such a fraud.

But, I'm also proud of his hometown (Bhimavaram) ppl who are giving him a motherly treatment by supporting him in his time of crisis.

Dear Rajkiran,

Here is my response!

1. Let us not be like Americans. Let us not condemn every act of a person because of one mistake.

Ans: How long we have to tell ourselves we are not like Americans? It means we are worst than them – in what way?

2. Yes, Raju has cheated and because of it, today industry is facing severe crisis.

Ans: Just because of one fraud person, he made whole India to look like a Ginny pig in front of whole world? What do you expect from this type of guy?

3. But, let us also learn that there is a good side of him that we have to appreciate.

Ans: What is the good thing you want to appreciate – cheating Investors, employees – total 7000 Crore!


4. He has started a wonderful service like EMRI - which saved thousands of lives. He has created employment for thousands of people. He has built a giant software company that has helped India.

Ans: EMRI was a wonderful service. I am sure he saved thousand of live? Due you know how he made money?

I will explain….so you better read this carefully!

a. Is EMRI service is a social service?
b. I will explain how he has made money –
a. Do you know how the contract was awarded to Satyam?
b. Why there was no tender called for it?
c. Do you have any idea how the ambulance service works – how much money was paid for it?

If you have ever worked in medical industry you will know how it works…….so before making any comment think ten times! One thing you remember – “THERE IS NOTHING CALLLED FREE MEAL ON THE EARTH”.

5. We must take severe steps so that no one repeats such a fraud.

Ans: There is some thing called ethics – every person on the earth should know it.

6. But, I'm also proud of his hometown (Bhimavaram) ppl who are giving him a motherly treatment by supporting him in his time of cri

Ans: I am really great full to his hometown guys for giving him motherly treatment – but do you want to do at the cost of “BRINING INDIA DOWN – IN THE GLOBAL FORUM” & at the cost of 53,000 families!

If you want to really pray for his well being, pray for a guy like “SREEDHARAN” known as the Metro man – not to the fraud guys!
