Highlights of India Today Hindi magazine dated October 24, 2012. Cover Story: India Today Hindi’s cover story Congress Ke Daman Per Damad Ka Daag is about Robert Vadra. The irresistible rise of Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law threatens to become a dangerous liability for Congress, which is already buffeted by corruption charges. Vadra’s real estate empire saw an unreal expansion. Within three years, he has amassed a property portfolio worth about Rs 200 crore. The intricate web of his five companies has done no other business since being incorporated in 2007-08 other than buying and selling property or giving and taking loans. It has serious political repercussions. Allies who have held the UPA Government in place, like Mayawati and Mulayam Singh Yadav, were forced to support calls for an inquiry into the Vadra-DLF link. The sharpest impact was on the credibility of Congress itself, which was immobilised by the prospect of electoral collapse. A party that has begun to prepare for a setback was staring at the serious probability of doom in the next General Election. The public’s anger is palpable, and finds expression though a range of reactions, from jokes on SMS to PILs based on the documents put into public domain by Kejriwal. As the mire deepens, one fact on the horizon gets closer: Elections. Zakir Hussain Memorial Trust (Padtaal): Viklaangon Ka Paisa Khane Ka Khula Khel Farukhabadi Union law minister’s NGO forged signatures of government officials to siphon money. Can he recover from the deep, self-inflicted embarrassment? Arthik Sudhar (Khas Rapat): Sudhar Ke Raste Per Daudte Chidambaram Chidambaram is on an overdrive to save a sinking UPA-2. His efforts may earn him a chance for the top job. Jammu-Kashmir (Khas Rapat): Aman-Chain Ki Wadi Mein Ubalte Naujawan Disillusioned with Omar Abdullah, the new generation just wants jobs and economic progress, not government oppression or religious extremism. 2012 Airtel India Grand Prix (F1): Laut Aaye Toofani Raftaar Ke Baadshah Grid girls, after parties that are the talk of town, and blistering pace on the track. India is set to renew its date with Formula 1 this month-end.
