Nau Sau Choohay Kha Kar.....

Sonia Gandhi at a public meeting complained that greed and graft have grown immensely and that her party does not tolerate such behaviour. Now this statement is correct. No one will deny that. But coming from a Congress person and head of UPA, it will only fool people who have been living in a cave for few years. The number of scams during her tenure is mind boggling. And that is just involving people from Congress. If you involve the UPA, then the level reaches a new high. For her to complain about corruption reminds me of the old saying: "Nau sau choohay kha kar billi haj ko chali". They spent more than 400 crore Rupees in that last election. This does not include state and local election since. Whose hard earned money was that? As Mr. Chandan Mitra says in his excellent article, the Congress has used CBI's cases of corruption against Mayawati, Mulayam and Laloo for their support. The Congress is making money and ruling the country with less that 25 vote percent from these scams. Sonia Gandhi has no locus standi on a topic like corruption when her own son made out like a bandit in the CWG games. Shame on her!!

Who spawned this culture?
Chandan Mitra
Arguably it was a DMK Minister who was involved in the “mother of all scams” which cost the exchequer Rs1.76 lakh crore. Certain other cases concerning possession of assets disproportionate to income hanging fire in the Supreme Court concern non-Congress leaders such as Ms Mayawati, Mr Mulayam Singh Yadav and Mr Laloo Prasad Yadav. But in these cases too, the Union Government is a big player because it happily uses the CBI to turn the heat on or simmer it down as and when political expediency demands. The Congress is past master at manipulating the system and the two UPA regimes, directly controlled by Ms Sonia Gandhi, have employed these skills to the hilt. Her party’s Governments in the States have deftly garnered vast sums of money by processing deals involving land, power projects and other development works. By all reckoning the Congress has accumulated a huge stockpile of cash over the last few years.
