More scandals to be unveiled in coming days
---
P.R. nightmare problems are surrounding City Council candidate Harbhajan Singh Ahluwalia (aka Harry Walia), threatening to derail his entire campaign. For an investigative news reporting site like Venice Florida! dot com, Ahluwalia is the gift that just keeps on giving. New revelations about the shady politician are surfacing daily as more and more people are contacting Venice Florida! dot com to tell their Ahluwalia horror stories.
Previous revelations included a DUI arrest in 1996 and a recent countersuit brought against him by Florida Flight Training Center. Ahluwalia is suing the FFTC for breach of an oral contract, FFTC's countersuit claims Ahluwalia is nuts and accuses Ahluwalia of several counts of fraud and inducement to fraud (PDF document, pops in new window).
One new scandal this web site has just uncovered involves a check-swapping scam that Ahluwalia participated in, this in an attempt to defraud a local doctor out of a measly $92.00. In that case, Ahluwalia was sued for the original amount plus a huge amount more in attorney fees. That story is upcoming on this web site.
Then there is Ahluwalia's attempt at swindling a local landscaper out of two days worth of work. Ahluwalia accused the landscaper of deliberate sabotage in a complaint filed with the Venice Police Department earlier this year. Police found the complaint to be without merit and closed the case with no further action. Meanwhile, the landscaper has filed a construction lien against Ahluwalia's house for $900. That story is also upcoming on this web site.
Ahluwalia is currently being sued for millions of dollars in three separate lawsuits filed in Hillsborough and Sarasota Counties. Add that to all of the other lawsuit that we have uncovered, and it looks like over the past four years, Ahluwalia has personally been involved in twice as many lawsuits as the city with roughly three times as much at risk.
You just can't make stuff like this up. One wonders what the hell was going through Ahluwalia's head (and the heads of his close supporters, for that matter) when he thought running for office would be a good idea.

I wanted to thank you for posting about Harry Walia. I was deeply relieved to see the information coming out about him. I have worked around him and seen him in action. I am heart broke about what he did to take money and pay from hard working people and very worried about his involvement in the Venice City Council. He has rewarded hard work with his fits of rage, cursing and sexual comments numerous times in the operational environment. I am a Republican, and although I was happy to see the support for the party, I feel we cannot overlook the graft he could bring to the office. I don't believe he is capable of transparency after what I have seen him do. My concern is that he has worn one face for Republicans like Congressman Vern Buchanan and then another in his day to day life where he screws the little guy every chance he can, precisely when we need small businesses to succeed. I believe his values go against family values: by his own admission his wife walked away from him for fear of bearing him a child. He has never sustained a family of his own. Please reject Harry Walia for City Council and take a good long look at the pattern of business he has done there. Let's hope the community can work together to root him out. I am deeply troubled at the prospect of him getting involved in government and what he would use that office to achieve for himself and cronies who would associate with him.
ReplyDeleteJohn Patten is a scumbag liar
ReplyDeleteHe allows only blogs against Walia.
The law of karma dictates that he has a stroke and dies
What John Patten is saying rings true to me. I am sorry it is upsetting, but even as a Republican I cannot support Harry Walia for office. The message has to be, either you act ethically, or don't depend on public support. If you don't know what ethical means or understand US and local law, then either learn it or leave. He made a mistake running for office because now he will be thoroughly exposed.
