Story of Ashwini Vaishnaw: खनन माफिया से संसद तक का सफ़र | F&F Ep. 64
In this video, we explore the remarkable and controversial journey of Ashwini Vaishnaw, a man whose career intertwines with IAS, corporate India, and politics. Originally from Pali, Rajasthan, Vaishnaw’s academic prowess is evident from his gold medal in engineering and an MBA from the prestigious Wharton School. However, his career took a dramatic shift from civil services to business and politics, starting with his association with the mining industry in Odisha. Vaishnaw's political rise is fascinating, beginning in 2019 when he was nominated to the Rajya Sabha with backing from both BJD and BJP. Despite being an IAS officer, his transition to business, particularly in the mining sector, raises questions about the ties between business and politics in India. He was closely linked to a mining company, Thriveni Earth Movers, whose owner, B. Prabhakaran, has faced allegations of illegal mining and corruption. The video delves into his business ventures, like his company Adler Industrial Services and its ties with Thriveni. It discusses how these companies saw massive financial growth, with Adler’s revenue skyrocketing over the years, much of it benefiting Vaishnaw and his family. Additionally, the video touches on the role of his companies in the iron ore mining industry, his connection with major players like JSW Group, and the financial deals that raised eyebrows. Finally, we examine his tenure as the Railways Minister, where despite overseeing numerous train accidents, he was never removed, showing his strong political backing.
