Cancellation of RS Nomination of Achyut Samant demanded by Senior Citizens in Odisha

Appeal by Senior Citizens of Odisha to Chief Electoral Officer for Cancellation of   Rajya Sabha Nomination Paper of Achyut Samant, a die-hard corrupt, imprudent and land-grabber of implausible character

Dear friends

A Team of Senior Citizens, Retired Govt. Officers  and Retired Professors  met  today ( 12.3.18)  Sri S. Kumar,  Chief  Electoral Officer, Bhubaneswar  and submitted complaint  for cancellation of Nomination Paper  of Sri Achyut Samant  of KISS and KIIT  for Rajya Sabha.  They appraised  CEO  about  Achyut Samant , self-claimed  founder of KIIT and KISS  who have forcibly  acquired their  land   in the vicinity of  Pathargadia area  where KIIT campus is located.

While  displaying  details of land records, their land Patta   before Chief Electoral Officer, They  said  that  though they have purchased  land since 1983,  they could not  take possession of land  due to Achyut Samant.

It  was observed  from their  complaints  that  Since 1983,  they  are in peaceful possession of  their respective land by erecting compound wall jointly to protect our land from the clutches of unauthorised encroachers including land grabber. But to their  misfortune, in course of time,  the KISS Tribal residential  school grew up  and KISS/KITT authority  at the behest of Mr. Achyut Samant, self-proclaimed founder of  above institution  demolished their  compound wall  again and again  by utilising  various heavy machineries  with a view to  grabbing their  land.  A road leading to their  plots  by allotting  the land  owners was constructed  and clearly shown in settlement final maps.  This road has been unauthorisedly blocked by putting up  heavy iron get  with iron shutters and fully prevented our entries to our respective plots by Sri A. Samant.

In recent past, settlement operation was in progress wherein  they  all appeared  in settlement camp   on the date fixed by settlement authority and produced  the valid  document  as were required  by ASO, Pathargadia settlement camp. Final orders were passed to record the land in their name  and Parchas were issued  to them. 

Since last few years  whenever  they  have tried to  see their  plots  located within close proximity  of the above school, the  security  staff of KISS  strongly prevented them  and did not allow  their  entry  through   above mentioned road  to  their respective plots.  In 2015, when they  tried to  enter into their  land, a   group of hooligans  engaged by Sri Samant  shouted at them  and called the students  to rush  forward  them  and pelted  stone  at them, manhandled   them and charged with  long lathis and broke  their  cars and  bykes  and forcibly they took away their valuable land records.  Though they  filed FIR in police station against Sri Samant , the police did not take any action   against the  culprits.

The Jagannath Temple  constructed  by Sri Samant within KIIT  campus  is  situated  on  land  which has been forcibly occupied  by Sri Samant  and his henchmen.

 In their  complaint, they  have also  raised  that  how  such a die-hard corrupt, imprudent and land-grabber  of  implausible character  has been issued a party  ticket  by hon’ble and esteemed  Chief Minister  and supreme of  BJD  for  a  post of Rajya Sabha MP.

Sri Samant  while  filling his affidavit  during submission of his candidature  for Rajya Sabha seat  has shown  having no asset and less income.  But  it has been  observed that  last year in the funeral ceremony  of  his mother, he  had organised  a grand feast in his village by spending crores of rupees   and a large  number of   senior and  high-profile  bureaucrats  including  senior  officers of Govt. of India  and State Govt. officers   had gone to attend the ceremony  for whom  Sri Samant  provided vehicles, train ticket and air ticket etc. which needs through  probe  by sleuth of CBI or  other high-powered investigative agency from which source he met such expenses. Sri Samant  is  blowing his  own trumpet  by giving a fabricated  figure  of 25000 students in KISS tribal school. This needs also thorough probe for which  he is collecting money  from  different agencies of Govt. of India   and abroad  through different sources.

In the  back drop,  we  would most fervently  pray your honour  to kindly  intervene  in the matter  and save your  humble senior  citizens  from clutches of man-eater giant  in the  false attire of a  benevolent, magnanimous  gentleman  by bringing him behind the curtain  and present before law. We further request you to kindly  repeal and cancel  his  nomination  by utilising your good office .
