Scamgress!

I don't think that I need to write about the Adarsh Society Scam since it has been well covered even by pro-Congress media outlets. Ashok Chavan is at the center of it. The man's morality knows no depths. Stealing from war widows is a new low. People are aghast at this display of avarice. That is what is surprising. Successive Congress governments in Maharashtra have run the once prosperous state into the ground. I have a feeling that the low economic performance of Maharashtra is not due to poor migrants from northern states. After 26/11, all the people in the state government were removed only to surface elsewhere. No one was punished. Maharashtra is supposed to be the crown jewel of Congress and they are treating it like their own ATM! Our PM Mr. Clean has not uttered one word about it. I think it is time we ripped that tag and threw it in the trash. This new scam seems to have pushed the old, much bigger scam of CWG on the back burner. Recently TOI published a report on the matter. When a rag like TOI brings up a Congress scam, it means that EVEN they are fed up with this Scamgress government.
In this report they have published 24 instances of absolute corruption where the government - babu- contractor nexus was robbing the tax payer blind. These people make Laloo Yadav's "Chaara Ghotala" a misdemeanor! This has got to be the most corrupt government ever. In a corrupt country like India (We always rank at the bottom of the corrupt nation list), that is a tall achievement.

Treadmills were hired for Rs 9.75 lakh for 45 days while a purchase would have cost Rs 7 lakh. OC bought rolls of toilet paper at $80 each, soap dispensers for $61 and first-aid kits for $125. While an 82.5 KVA generator set was hired for Rs 4.65 lakh, another with similar specifications was hired for Rs 14.58 lakh. As much as Rs 9 crore was spent on diesel
