The Unspoken Truth Behind #Sarathigate – A Conspiracy

Post by Devraj »

Odia Media are abuzz with news of self-styled Godman Sarathi. As Sarathi was a prominent face among religious gurus in Odisha, it was obvious that allegations against Sarathi would create a stir among mass. As people flung on to their TV sets to get live updates, News channels too didn’t leave the opportunity to pass by and provided live coverage 24*7. And the competition that was seen among all news channels to cover a single story for 3-4 days, leaving all other news in Odisha, is nothing; but rat-race to TRPs. After about 103 hours of live coverage, studio discussions and talk shows, Sarathi was finally arrested. Cell No. 3 of Choudwar Jail became Sarathi’s new residence instead of his ashram at Barimul, Kendrapara.

However there is a background story to the whole issue that was yet to be revealed to common man. In this context, the questions arise here are:

1. Why a particular channel started the campaign against Sarathi?
2. What is the objective behind Sarathi’s arrest: to create awareness among people to avoid the so-called godmans or to materialize personal gain?
3. Who is behind all these?

A weekly paper was regularly publishing about the frauds of Sarathi for about a year or two. However there is a different story behind that publication. But what we are going to reveal is absolutely new and brings you the insider story of Sarathi drama.

The whole issue started when 8 of Sarathi’s close aides were ousted from the ashram. All 8 expelled employees then vowed to take revenge and incidentally they were pledged support by a senior journalist, a close friend of Jay Panda and together, they hatched the plan. This journalist too was close to Sarathi and even getting paid in good figures. Even it is reported that the journalist was getting paid by acknowledging Sarathi in public and sometimes by blackmailing. However, the honeymoon didn’t last for long and the Journalist too pledged to teach a lesson to Sarathi and the mission started with the ousted employees and one OTV cameraperson from Kendrapara.

After observing a careless attitude from Jay Panda and OTV, a young minister from BJD (too from Kendrapara) was assigned to plan a conspiracy against Jay Panda & OTV. And News7 was selected in the process as the owner too belongs to Kendrapara district. The objectives of the plan were:

• To defame the immense popularity of Jay Panda & Pratap Dev.
• And the Rajya Sabha post after the untimely death of Kalpataru Das.

As Pratap Dev was the leading name in media for the Rajya Sabha race, the young minister planned to remove Pratap Dev from race by any way. And the only way to do so was by defaming both. The News7 owner, Manoj Nayak was promised a Rajya Sabha post for him and a project on the Barimul ashram land for his son as the height level of the ashram land was above the level of flood-prone Kendrapara. It was a pretty lucrative deal and so the mission started.

The mission started with a few old pictures from newspapers and images of Golkunda hotel. Except Otv, all news channels began covering he story. However there was no such effect noticed even after two days of live telecast. And the young minister who was then in Rourkela pulled the other strings to fuel the issue. He then contacted the Kendrapara BJP leader Biajy Mohaptra through the senior journalist. After a deal was struck between, few Women’s Associations and selected Bajarang Party activists were too included to stage protest against the govt. and concerned duo; Jay & Pratap.

At the same time, the young minister informed CM about the intent of Bijay Mahapatra & requested a quick action. And right before the press meet by Bijay Mohapatra, state govt. too ordered crime branch inquiry and Sarathi was arrested. His followers and general people felt cheated by Sarathi for years. However, the young minister benefited from all this. Jay Panda & Otv were trolled in public for delayed coverage. Even Pratap Dev was shamed for allowing 15 lakhs fund to ashram over 3 phases.
The young minster and the journalist planned well to stay behind the curtains after the high voltage drama. Yet they couldn’t.
