Masters In Ducking Corruption Allegations

It is amazing how UPA or more precisely Congress always blames BJP’s rule of six years for every damn mess they are in. For every corruption that they have designed, executed and stashed the gathered money at different tax heavens, they conveniently point at the NDA’s regime as the real culprit. It is like a thief squarely blaming the owner of the house as the actual felon for he forgot to lock the doors while going out.

Be it CWG or the latest Chopper scam that seem to blow Antony’s Dhoti out of control, it always the name of BJP that provides an escape route for the Congress. Not that they are successful in doing so or fool the nation as they were doing since independence but the shamelessness in even playing out that ploy every time a scam is unearthed is quite commendable. I term this shameless because the acts and actions that define the UPA-II is nothing but scams and bigger acts of corruption in every front and yet rather being remorseful of their bad governance and loot, the clowns always stand in front of the cameras and vehemently deny any involvement of the party in any of the scams that our media houses are exposing on daily basis. I term this shameless because in pursuit of defending their own posteriors the rascals have ruined every federal institution those were once used to be the symbol of faith, honesty and integrity.

This is kind of a trend that is getting played out for every major scam of UPA. First they out rightly deny any such scam then they accept the loot has happened quite reluctantly and finally stand up like unashamed mongrels and point finger’s at NDA’s six year rule. Take the example of CWG. A scamster and thug like Kalmadi not only denied the crores of money laundering but also went ahead threatening Times Now with defamation suit for bringing his innocent name in to the financial mess. Could you believe this? A man who himself knows that he has looted the exchequer with both his hands has the gall to stand up in a press brief and declare himself as clean as Dettol and shouts out at a particular media house with legal actions? If this is not shamelessness then I am not sure what else is.

The second ploy that Congress conveniently plays is the ignorance of the priminister of any of these messes. I have said this many times. Had Dr. Singh been part of a private corporate he would have been fired long time back for his avalanche of incompetence. Nation loses close to a lakh of crores but the priminister who happens to be the custodian of the public money accepts he didn’t have any clue that his own collogues were looting all this while. What is this? Incompetence, pretending ignorance or plain shamelessness. The shamelessness didn’t stop there for CWG. When it appeared the thugs are exposed more than an average porn actress and skeletons started to tumble from the closets, people like Digvijay Singh who has his foot permanently in his mouth blamed BJP for the loot. Would you believe how he correlated the loot of his own government with BJP? Yes, because it is the BJP who unfortunately bided for the Delhi common wealth games and it is during NDA period that the preparations for the event started with Kalmadi at the helm. So it is not Kalmadi and his cronies but Atal Bihari Vajpayee and his cabinet that must be blamed for the scam. Fantastic and that offers a lifeline to team India for the upcoming Australia series. Blame it on BCCI and Cricket Australia (because they only arranged the series) once the white wash is over. 

Look at the 2G scam. When the rot started to stink it first came as a flat denial followed by the quick announcement of a fair and transparent deal throughout the auctioning. Again shamelessness exhibited without any repentance. To make the situation even more stinking, the corrupt government headed by an ignorant PM sat over the issue for a good part of two years and only started their unidirectional shoddy enquiry when supreme court lambasted them quite openly in a humiliating overture. What happened after that is what they call ‘is history’. The enquiry under the sniffing nose of the apex court made us witness the unthinkable. It was virtually a parade of thugs in and out of Tihar. The then Telecom minister A Raja, who was merrymaking with the loot, was thrown behind bars, closely followed by the daughter of his party patriarch. But do you think that should have stopped the jokers from denying the loot anymore? Of course not since one of the few geniuses like Kapil Sibal was ready with his unbelievable zero loss theorem to furnish right in the well of the house during question hour. 

That class act of Sibal didn’t make much impact on the media or the nation as expected. Left with no option but to defend themselves from some imminent backlash the thugs decided to take the mess to some new level of bizarreness. There comes the great Digvijay Singh again with yet another of his screwed up explanation. According to him, the fault is squarely with BJP and their then Telecom minister Pramod Mahajan as Congress has done nothing wrong but only followed the policies of BJP like an obedient student. Laughable, no? Since when Congress is so much interested to follow BJP’s policies? If at all they are then why only the policies where there is a chance of mass loot possible? Why doesn’t anyone see Congress following all those innovative and development oriented frameworks that Vajpayee government laid down? While these questions still remain unanswered our PM who always finds it not important for him to talk on serious issues decides to stand up and show his coercion to allow the loot in the name of some nonsensical coalition politics. Since when coalition democracy corroborates highway robbery, Dr. Singh? Alas!! This is another question which is yet to be answered by our extremely intelligent priminister.

The latest chopper scam has all the signs of the previous mega scams that Congress got entangled into. As of yesterday our Defense minister falling in line with the standard practice has already denied the scam at first hand and declared a CBI (an institution that is already been ruined) enquiry. As far as vomiting nonsense goes, the rock star of Congress, Digvijay Singh has already done it by blaming the BJP government and the then national security advisor Brijesh Mishra for it. So Digvijay Singh’s logic of loot stands something like this – since Brijesh Mishra asked the vendor to decrease the flight altitude of the helicopters, it gave an avenue for the congress crooks to gulp down a lot of money through their middlemen. So, looting of 400 crores of public money is nothing in comparison to the crime meted out by BJP when they asked the altitude of the choppers be reduced by a notch. Brilliant again. 

It is rapidly turning out to be a humiliation to have such thugs in governance. It is even a bigger humiliation that it is we who in fact have elected such scoundrels to govern us. Out right rascals who fancy the idea of selling their own mothers and motherland for monetary gain are in decision making positions. How more embarrassing it can get? Such corrupt gutter bugs that we are having as our representatives in the parliament who care nothing for those they are representing. What bigger miscarriage of democracy can happen? 

Least talked about the audacity is better. Scam after scam, they might have overtaken the British and their loot of 400 years in just 9 years but still unashamed enough to stand upright and blame others. Don’t we have legal permission to try out few of our Nukes on a particular political party’s headquarters by the way?
