So by now if you read the Daily Pioneer or any of the extremely few non-Congress newspapers, you know that there are audiotapes of the UPA stalwart A Raja with Rs. One lakh Crore scam under his belt. Actually if you are a Pioneer reader, they have been reporting this guy’s misdeed for a very long time.
My dear friend Ramudu asked me who could have leaked these tapes. Who indeed?? I asked him a simple question: Cui bono i.e. for whose benefit or who benefits? I don’t know how Congress has benefited from A Raja being there other than DMK support (Did they get some of that one lakh crore?) but now he is becoming an embarrassment for the man whose image is very important to Congress – The PM (because other than his image, he does not bring anything else to the table). Simply put, the Congress wants A Raja gone! But DMK supremo Karunanidhi does not want his money man out. The question now is, how do you force Karunanidhi’s hand? You release tapes implicating A Raja beyond any doubts so that even a man with no shame who still want to stay in power will be forced to backtrack. Thus the tapes are a perfect weapon.
We all know that when the tapes were made, the Congress was in power and they have been using our intelligence abilities to spy on other ministers (Heavens forbid we should use those abilities to spy on home grown terrorists or the SIMI or the Maoists and their sympathizers!!) and thus they are the ones most likely to have incriminating tapes.
This is my theory but it does make a lot of sense.
On one hand I am happy that A Raja’s crimes are out but on the other hand it is sad that our “Honest PM” and his party are using proof of wrong doing, not for benefit of the populace or the nation but for the benefit of his own kursi because they must have known about the tapes and his wrongdoings for a very long time.
No HC stay on broadcast of Raja-Radia tapesStaff Reporter
New Delhi
Claiming that broadcast of her conversation with Telecom Minister A Raja and DMK leader Kanimozhi is ‘gross breach of her constitutional right to privacy,’ lobbyist Nira Radia on Friday approached the Delhi High Court seeking a permanent stay on the airing of the tapes. Radia alleged that the tapes being broadcast by Headlines Today are fabricated and that her conversation with the Telecom Minister never took place. Appearing for Radia, advocate Sidharth Luthra also argued that the phone-tapping was illegal.
