The Annual Farce Report



One of the things that the Tarun Tejpal rape case brought out and on which no action has been taken at all is the corruption at Tehelka. Everyone who was aware of Tehelka knew it didn’t have enough earnings to sustain itself. Many former employees mentioned salaries were always delayed. Yet, the top management like Tejpal, Shoma Choudhury and their family members made a huge amount of money selling shares at bogus, inflated prices. Even Kapil Sibal had shares in his name but he claimed he had only made a donation of 5 lakhs. Being the law minister he isn’t bothered who signed his share application form if he hadn’t applied. Such money flows directly through political organisations or indirectly under orders of those in power. Not very hard to guess, is it?

Tehelka being a Congress crony had a great run till Tejpal’s ‘one minute of drunken banter’ as he calls it. His THINK Litterfest was a grand scheme to make money through coerced sponsorships. I wonder how other Litterfests and Think programmes organised by other media outlets are funded. We do know that HT Summit has been funded with PSU money in the past and this year too. There’s India Today with its multiple conclaves. There’s NDTV and CNN-IBN with Greatest Indians, Tiger’s tail, Green-cover money and so on. Each one has a farce of its own flavour.

India Today came up with the most extraordinary finding that Andhra Pradesh was the best managed state and doled out an award to CM Kiran Reddy. They claim to have assessed the performance of all the states on various parameters and found AP the best governed. Even if this goes against general public intelligence you have to wonder what experts they employ to deliver such comic assessments. There is merit in assessing state performances by a news outlet so that the public can measure but is there merit in a media house giving out awards to a CM? Absolutely not! A warden may assess the conduct of his prisoners and recommend early releases but it would be stupid to dole out “Best prisoner awards”. The media fails as a watchdog over and over again when it starts doling out awards. Seasoned editors and publishers have removed the “watch” part from their roles and become shameless ass-lickers.

CNN-IBN was there again with its annual sham of “Indian of the year” awards. The sports and business categories shouldn’t bother anyone but yet again there was a political award for Arvind Kejriwal (probably for the 3rd time). This time it was for winning against Sheila Dikshit and AAP making a great debut in the Delhi elections. What are these awards for? Electoral performances or performances as elected officials? In any case, news media shouldn’t be rewarding politicians at all. Once again CNN-IBN removed the ‘watch’ from the watchdog. CNN-IBN’s past awardees include Rahul Gandhi, Manohar Parrikar and nominations include Akhilesh Yadav. At least two of these have turned out to be pathetic non-performers. Manohar Parrikar still has some way to go before being judged. The haste to give an award to Arvind Kejriwal follows the campaign the entire IBN group carried out for the AAP party during the last elections.

Kejriwal himself has made a thorough farce of democracy itself with his mindless moronic 18 questions to other parties and then the SMS poll with citizens to decide if AAP should form a govt. In giving out such silly awards the news channels cheat the public to whom they are to report facts and truth. I do not see one case where the IBN group has honestly reported about AK or AAP. This was true for their sucking up to RahulG also till they had to face the undeniable truth that RahulG was a dud. This brief report about the annoyance of Delhi citizens with AK and AAP is the sign of times to come for this party that is making spurious promises based on nothing but foolishness:

The CNN-IBN IOTY farce is sponsored by none other than GMR who is a major contractor of the govt for building airports and other infrastructure projects. GMR is a group with over 150 companies under their roof. All it takes is a call from a friendly minister to channelise funding of such awards and programmes. As with Tehelka, the other news outlets and TV channels have found that they can sustain themselves only through such silly programmes where they make a huge profit through sham awards, litterfests and other campaigns. The honour for some awardees may well be truly deserved but only a fool would believe that these news channels are out for some noble deeds.

Each of these flamboyant news channels has been laying off employees by the score, facing huge losses but have to keep their lipstick on with such programmes. The last THINK of Tehelka was reported to have brought in 17 Crores, so you can estimate what each such event is meant to generate. If you read the linked report it will be obvious that the festival was operated through multiple companies and even sponsors weren’t aware which company they were actually dealing with. Each year it gets more brazen as NDTV showed us this year.

The Rashtrapati Bhavan for once was turned into Hotel Raisina Hill. Here’s an image from the RP website:

Notice carefully the links on the left margin of the website home page. It has profile, speeches, gardens etc. but none that says “RP Bhavan is available for rent”. There is another page that accepts requests and grievances though that doesn’t appear to be information for renting a hall at RP Bhavan. NDTV, for its 25th anniversary celebrations, rented a hall at RP Bhawan for a frivolous show called “25 global living legends of India”. From a nation of 1 billion plus they went with a torch and microscope to find these 25 people.

I would agree with the people chosen being living legends but it is foolish to pick only 25 because there are many others who would also qualify to carry that title. Oh, of course, the number has to match NDTV’s 25 years of non-performance. Surely, if you were to pick Shahrukh Khan, who I consider a ham, why would you overlook someone like Dilip Kumar? Anish Kumar, Indira Nooyi, YK Hamied, Zubin Mehta can all have better replacements one can argue. Surely, Lata Mangeshkar is any day a bigger legend than Zubin Mehta for India. But the whole idea and event is a farce so why look for any sense in it. Why should the President hand out these dole-titles from RPB and make it look like a State award?

NDTV has just about managed to pick those who would appear to be “sickular” and closer to their own political persuasions. The channel is a loss-making, face-losing brand. It has been accused of many misdeeds, including financial ones. So to out-do their competition in these sham shows they had to do something weird and unusual to catch some attention so they used their political clout and rented the RPB. To say NDTV is a doormat of the Congress would be stating the obvious. The more important point is how the govt allows a private party to misuse the facilities at RPB for its own private agenda. Sonia Singh confirms the channel had paid rent for it and I would say that is quite big-hearted of NDTV. I’m also sure the rent would be nothing more than peanuts for the facilities obtained if it were compared to a 5-star property. Sonia also mentions “this exchange really misses the point”. I agree! The point that it misses is that a bad precedent has been set by the govt. Now any Tom, Tata or Reliance can seek usage of RPB for grand private ceremonies. TOI can even hold its next Filmfare award at this hotel and have the awards given out by the President.

If at all RPB is available for such frivolous shows their website makes no mention of it and doesn’t mention at what rent. If such a facility is allowed to NDTV there is no reason why the public shouldn’t be aware at what rent and for what purposes RPB can be misused. The RPB hall is mostly meant for state functions. But now you can hold your next party there if you have political connections.

All these events are annual farces to make money and partly for brand-building. It is worth noting that almost all of these farces have bloomed only in the last 7-8 years while the corrupt Congress regime has been at the Centre. Someday a massive investigation in to these news outlets and such events will reveal how much public funds and facilities have been looted. Those who scream the loudest about corruption are also usually the ones fuelling it. The watch had indeed gone out of ‘watchdog’ a long time back. All that remains is the…

The Hatemonger's Sermon



Here are some outstanding epithets for one’s epitaph on a memorial or a tombstone or excellent self-description if one is considering enhancing his resume for a higher office. The choices: Snake, Scorpion, Filthy man, Raavan, Gandi Nali ka kida (Guttersnipe), Lahu purush, Paani purush, Asatya ka Saudagar, Ghanchi (mocking reference to an OBC person), Monkey, Victim of Rabies, Mouse, Dawood, Failed husband, Badtamiz, Nalayak, Who is his father, mother? Hitler, Pol Pot, A Virus, Bhasmasur, Pagal Kutta (Mad dog), Yamraj, Maut Ka Saudagar, Hero of hatred, Mass murderer, Frog in the well, Gangu Teli…



Want some more? There’s still some time to go before the 2014 general elections and that time period might add to the list above. We are lucky! We are more civil now than Benjamin Disraeli (19th century British PM) who, when asked to differentiate a misfortune and calamity, referred to his rival and explained “If Mr. Gladstone were to fall into the Thames, it would be a misfortune. But if someone dragged him out, it would be a calamity”.



I could say the same about a scumbag like Rajdeep Sardesai but there’s one difference. If Rajdeep were to fall into the already-polluted Yamuna that wouldn’t be a misfortune but if someone dragged him out, that would be a calamity. Such is the hatemonger’s hypocrisy that the only thing that stands out it in any of his dialogues is utter contempt for truth. He’s not alone; his partner in the Mom & Pop stores called CNN-IBN, Sagarika contributes her share of filth in the discourse. Both these wilful morons insult people’s intelligence and act as brokers and campaigners for political parties. Their latest has been as active campaigners and promoters of the AAP party. Many had suspected the entire IBN group was rooting for this party and my previous post ‘AAP-Sucker Proxies’ also deals with this. Here’s IBTL (a news website) further explaining how tweets were constantly exchanged and relayed between the IBN group members and AAP members to promote the party.


The texts under the red circles may not be quite legible so I suggest you look up the Tweet and enlarge the image to read. It is not just that Rajdeep often peddles garbage; he often promotes those who peddle garbage to suit his political agenda. Having a bias or political is not a crime. If a media house wants to promote a certain party or political ideology it would be honourable if they said it upfront instead of claiming to be ‘neutral’. Forget the neutral part, when do media crooks need to repeatedly assert who they are unless their conscience keeps hurting? Why else would this comic duo have to send out messages like these?


We are journalists! We are journalists! Don’t shoot us! Even Manmohan Singh never asserts being the PM so much, even though technically he is one.



The problem with deceptive spinners is that they aren’t really reminding YOU, they remind THEMSELVES of what they have forgotten they were supposed to be. Both these people don’t spare a chance to sermonise the world. Vinod Mehta is a colourful media celeb. I call him “The Claw” for the way he dangerously brandishes his hand while talking on TV panels. At a recent fun event in Lucknow the Lucknow Boy entertained the audience with some anecdotes, some confessions and what he really thought about news TV. This is from a TOI report (Dec.8,2013):


Mehta didn’t shock anyone as most viewers knew he was drinking on TV debates. That’s the least of the issues. He confesses talking rubbish and still being invited. Still, after this confession of “I speak rubbish” he as was back on CNN-IBN a day later to talk about the AAP party. You see, for Rajdeep it doesn’t matter if you’re drunk or talk rubbish as long as it supports his agenda. But hey, don’t shoot us, we are just the messengers. Really? There is a slight difference between a messengers and ‘go-between’. What does it say when someone like Digvijaya Singh accuses him of losing focus? Yes Diggy, of all people, who is an expert at distracting from real issues. This exchange is hilarious:



As with his shows on TV, Rajdeep totally forgot what the topic was at the recent HT Summit. It was about a “Vision for India” where Arun Jaitley and Digvijaya Singh were panellists and Rajdeep was the lost. I mean host! The whole discussion deviated from the topic and in the end the Pop couldn’t help bringing up his son’s question on why political discourse has so much slander. Oh yes, Numero Uno, Numero Unee and now Numero Sonny! Sonny boy is privileged so he gets to ask questions; even in absentia. Nepotism is a problem not just with politicians but also with media crooks. So what was the son’s concern? Let’s find out from this clip (3,53 mins. You can watch the full show on Youtube):


So from a “Vision of India” Rajdeep turned it into how politicians slander each other. Talk about a hatemonger sermonising the world. Another guy from the HT warehouse jumps in to say politicians don’t like “neutral” stands. Sure, HT and its foot-soldiers must know what neutral is all about. Err.. Licking both feet of Madamji equally would be neutral? And what is the problem? That Modi called Pappu a Shehzada. So Rajdeep probably wants to keep political discourse as close to the holy Quran or Bible as possible. Diggy says he never called Modi “Bhasmasur”. Fair enough! He calls people “thugs” and endorses “26/11 RSS ki Saazish” and “RSS bomb making factories”. I guess those don’t fall into the “slander” category. I opened this post with all the choice epithets that the Congress and MSM have hurled at Modi and Rajdeep, the former Congress politician and now the AAP-Sucker, wants clean discussions. Even Diggy calls Rajdeep a part of politics in the end. What a rise!



What exactly is so offensive about Shehzada? After all, it’s just an Urdu word for Prince. Isn’t it? But as Sunetra Chaudhary points out in her profound article, it is okay to abuse in English but the same thing wouldn’t pass if it were in a local Indian language (Why desi netas willnever charm the English media). So you see, the English Laloos can get away but the desi ones have to pay a price if they call someone “Shehzada”. Hypocrite Rajdeep knows that too.   
 
All the abusive words hurled at Modi have passed right through all TV channels and many events. Congress whining is out of “victimhood” but why is Rajdeep whining? Rahul Gandhi has been called by the MSM as “Crown Prince” or “Prince” for many years and many times. Here are just a few samples at India Today, Firstpost, Time Magazine, TOI, Rajdeep Sardesai and Rajdeep Sardesai. Prince is English, so it can pass. After all this, neither Congress nor Rajdeep have any moral authority to sermonise the world on good language or to avoid slander. I would in fact go a step further and state that Rajdeep (as the entire MSM) has built his career and wealth on slanderous discourse. Please do remember that repeating a slanderous message - knowing it to be so - is equally liable for defamatory action. If Modi ever wanted it then pathological slanderers like Rajdeep and some of his co-scumbags in the media would have been in jail for mindless slandering and wanton use of abusive language, diverting from the topic of an event to deliberately humiliate and slander a person. The problem with the hatemonger is that he forgets too soon. It’s our job to remind him. This is the same HT Summit from 2007 (Video 3.42 mins):



Hero of hatred? Mass murderer? That is not as offensive and slanderous as Shehzada I suppose. And this is being said in front of a select audience to deliberately insult a Chief Guest and keynote speaker. This is the culture Rajdeep wants to pass on to his son? Did the son watch that video with the pathetic slandering by dad? As Digvijaya inconveniently pointed out in HT 2013, the same happened in HT 2007 as well. In 2007 the topic for that day was “Centre-State relations”. What does Rajdeep do? He turns it into a tirade on Gujarat 2002, discrimination against Muslims, hero of hatred, mass murderer, blah blah. I sincerely believe this editorialist would pollute the Yamuna if he were thrown in it. That is the level to which he has degraded journalism and public discourse. And that HT sidekick thinks people don’t like neutral stands. Who are these people trying to fool?



Post the Tejpal episode Sagarika Ghose laments how editors have been “de-valued”.  I don’t call these people “editors”; they are unworthy of that title. They are “editorialists” whose job is to swing opinion one way or another. Let’s see, they have no problems in welcoming a spokie who indulged in sexcapades in his office with certain promises. Morals! They still invite a person who admits he talks rubbish and 50% of news channel content is a joke. Morals! Rajdeep defended Radia-tainted media celebs and even tried to get in Vir Sanghvi through the backdoor into debates. The list can get longer if put under a search. Both he and Sagarika call politicians and people names at their will and demand public discourse is clean. They say "charity begins at home". The woman who abuses Indian males as ugly, calls ordinary people guttersnipe, ridicules court judgements has now heaped the ultimate insult and slander on the Indian judiciary.

The SC did nothing but rightly ruled that the Gay rights issues was best decided by Parliament and not the judiciary. What's the response of the C5M? Absolute contempt, slander and abuse of the judge:



Rajdeep talks about his son being concerned about slander in politics. A small mirror on the streets of Delhi just costs around Rs.25. Rajdeep would do well to keep one in his pocket all the time. Hatemongers shouldn’t be sermonising others so often.

Desperate Measures - Part 8 (Fears Of The Kleptomaniacs)



Fear of the Kleptomaniacs:

“Cut a man’s flesh and it heals… Whip a man and the memory of it passes, frighten him, fill him with a sense of foreboding and apprehension and let him believe that something dreadful is going to happen either to himself or to someone he loves – better the latter – and you will hurt him beyond forgetfulness. Fear is a tyrant and a despot, more terrible than the rack, more potent than the snake. Fear is many-eyed and sees horrors where normal vision only sees the ridiculous” – Edgar Wallace, British crime writer of early 20th century and creator of King Kong.

Fear is the key that dictatorial regimes turn when they want to frighten the public in every which way they can. The public will be scared, people will be “managed” to fit into the system rather than the system being fitted for people. For such dictators democracy is a dangerous idea. They don’t love it in their own party. They won’t love it for you either. Everyone opposed to them is evil. Everyone who challenges them will be vilified. Dictators usually are the fountains of Kleptocracy. It involves co-opting the bureaucracy and the media in the loot of the nation. No one explained why democracy is a dangerous idea to such politicians better than Tony Benn, former MP of Britain. This is a clip I had carried some time back too (video 1.58 mins):


After the recent moronery of Naresh Agarwal of Samajwadi Party when he said “a Chaiwalla cannot become PM of India” I was stunned to find that the TOI (Ahmedabad main edition) didn’t have a single mention of the incident in its edition of November 15, not one single line. Agarwal only spoke aloud what Congress and its cronies like Barkha, Sagarika, Rajdeep, Nikhil Wagle, Ashutosh etc. have been slyly airing all along. How can an ordinary Chaiwalla become a PM? For the self-styled Kings and Queens of the country these Chaiwallas and Boot-polishwallas should stay where they are and not aspire to become anything (imagine if Agarwal had directed ‘Deewar’). That they even think they can participate in democracy is an audacious aspiration that must be nipped in the bud. Such Chaiwallas and Polishwallas are a threat to the carefully nurtured Kleptocracy that Congress is so famous for. Therefore, they must be subdued with threats and fears. How can these street people dream of political power? After all, power is poison, isn’t it? A few days back I posted this response to a comment on this site:
For all the screaming of “divisive, polarising, divisive, polarising, divisive, polarising” by cronies and hate-mongers like Rajdeep Sardesai, Sagarika Ghose, Barkha Dutt and their clan of Macaulay family, someone from their own family finally nailed them. TheJaggi writes in FirstPost: “Her aggressive language against the BJP and Narendra Modi in a state (Chattisgarh) which has actually implemented her pet food security project competently is part of a well-thought-out plan to hide who the really divisive leader in India is: Sonia herself. She attacked the BJP for its “greed for power” – as though political parties are somehow supposed to abjure power – but the last 10 years show who has shown real greed for power”. You see, power is poison! Not for her, not for her son who has no accomplishments to show but for “others”. IndiraG ushered in Kleptocracy when she destroyed our democratic veins with the Emergency. TheJaggi writes further:

Independent India’s first divisive ruler was Indira Gandhi, to dislodge whom the entire range of opposition parties banded together in the late 1960s and 1970s. The Congress party’s success depends on dividing the so-called majority and then using scare-mongering techniques to give the minorities a stake in using their votes as vetoes in elections. This is what kept the Congress in power for so long. This divisiveness did not matter when Nehru was around, because he was a towering leader, and had natural stature and popularity after the freedom struggle. But once he was gone, Indira Gandhi found that in order to consolidate power, it was even more important to divide to conquer”.

TheJaggi reprises what I had mentioned in my comment. What he writes is not a great secret that others in the media do not know. He also bluntly states that SoniaG’s foreign origin is disturbing to many in politics and outside it. She and her Congress party are most greedy for power and will do anything to stay afloat. How an EVM turned a loss for P Chidambaram to victory is still out there. How YSR Reddy looted the state of Andhra to fill his private coffers as also that of the party hasn’t unfolded fully because the media cronies never reported his corruption till Jagan Reddy was targeted for his rebellion. There is a tweet that I had put out a few days back that both ABV and LK Advani have to share some blame for excessive sympathy for the Gandhi family. After publishing a report on black money, when SoniaG complained, LKA even sent her a letter “regretting” her name being mentioned in the BJP report. I have never seen anything more stupid from the leader of an Opposition party. But below is what the SC had to say about black money.

Former Army and IAS officer MG Devasayam writes: “The SC talks of the unholy nexus between lawmakers, lawkeepers and lawbreakers, clearly indicating a State-sponsored Kleptocracy runs the country”. Do read the whole article that I’ve linked. In an article at the PulitzerCenter India narrates a comic but equally tragic incident from Bihar: “There's a joke popular among local relief groups in which the state's chief minister visits a U.S. senator stateside at his palacial residence. The minister asks, "My home is so small. How do you live so well?" To which the senator responds, "See that bridge over there. Ten percent." A year later, the senator pays a visit to the Bihar minister's home, now more opulent than his. "How did you get a place like this?" he asks. "See the bridge over there..." "Which one," interrupts the senator. "One hundred percent," says the minister. This could easily be referring to Gautam Goswami, ex-district magistrate of Patna, the state capital, who along with 10 other officials was charged in 2005 with embezzling nearly $2.5 million in flood relief funds. Adding to the disgrace, Goswami was featured in Time magazine the year before as a "Young Asian Hero" for his commitment to the poor”. Err… SoniaG has been recommended by a group for the Nobel 9 times for her commitment to the poor; she was likened to Mother Teresa.

Not surprised, are you? Yeah well, look up all the people who received govt awards in the last decade and you will find many scumbags who got it because they were afraid to speak the truth. Some of them are prominent media slaves married to what I would call “The mob”. But it’s not just TheJaggi, there are others speaking up too. Writing on the theme of how BJP leadership was excessively kind to the Gandhis is Tavleen Singh in the Indian Express. Some are finally finding their voices. Tavleen notes that the BJP and the media were cowards not to take on the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. Unfortunately, the Chaiwalla is not cut from the same cloth and he is taking them on. Therefore, it is important for Congress and its crony alliance partners to tar him in every which way possible: Communal, divisive, polarising, Hitler, fascist, Yamraj, Bhasmasur and the cry like wimps because he calls the ineffective Pappu a “Shehzada”. Let’s take up the Shehzada and the Queen. Are they accountable to anyone? Nope! Are they answerable to even the most servantile media? Nope! Do they respect the poor? Nope! They believe they have descended as saviours who grandly throw crumbs to the poor who should bow and be grateful. They fear the ascent of a Chaiwalla so they have to create fear in people’s minds. The DailyMail Needler carried this pic:

Now the Kleptomanics fear a Chaiwalla because he is daring to take them on. Look at the grand alliance of the Congress: SP, JDU, BSP, SP, RJD, DMK, NCP and some more. One DMK guy was even running a private telephone exchange at his home courtesy BSNL. There is hardly any party in the alliance which doesn’t run a private kingdom. Almost each alliance partner has cases of disproportionate assets against their dictators. Extraordinary national wealth has been swindled and handed over to private hands with the Congress being the “Congotri” of the massive corruption and loot. And SoniaG has the audacity to say “power is poison” which her son comically recites and media cronies repeat like a parrot and applaud. Not one scumbag or scumbagini from the media had the courage to talk about this nonsensical statement from both the Gandhis. So unlike 1977 when many parties united against the misrule and corruption of IndiraG, this time around the entire gang of corrupt parties have united with the corrupt Congress. What is their fear? They fear losing their Kleptocracy and the country returning to some form of democracy. It threatens their “disguised dictatorship”. These guys want to run the Country or a State? No! They just want to run the “wealth” of the nation into ground by looting.

Naturally, Modi responded to the cheap statement of Naresh Agarwal by stating “A Chaiwalla as PM is better than a PM who sells the country”. The sick Manish Tiwari was upset that Modi is getting too much airtime from the Congress’s crony channels. They can’t help it because it means TRP and money for them. So what does MT do? He shoots off an advisory (read threat) to the TV channels. The ministry found it to be "indecent" and "bad in taste" that news channels compared PM Manmohan Singh and BJP's PM candidate Modi over their I-Day speeches. The advisory threatened to cancel the licences of those who made such comparisons or telecast speeches. This is 2 months after the event. Why shouldn’t media and people compare? A PM who gave an I-day speech like it was a Congress event and not a national day is hardly giving a PM’s speech. Besides, the PM eulogised only Congress PMs of the past and that too only of the Nehru-Gandhi clan. In any case why should people want to listen to the most boring speaker in the history of India and that too in an age where people have moved on from these uninspiring speeches? If the PM has a right to speak, people also have the right not to hear him if they don’t want to. But hey, Kleptomaniacs don’t have such maturity because they don’t know how democracy works. (These Kleptomaniacs have the stealing disorder for both personal and party gains).
 
Then out of the blue the EC comes up with a proposal to ban opinion polls. The EC must seriously introspect if they have over-stepped in reacting to entertainment shows in such a silly manner. But the Congress and all of their cronies support the move for obvious reasons. Poll after opinion poll is throwing eggs at their faces. It is intolerable cruelty for them. For SoniaG these acts to muzzle the media is not an “attack on democracy”. Pappu won’t come out screaming it’s “complete nonsense”. After all, these bans are to protect and preserve their Kleptocracy. I consider the MSM possessing a lot of morons, including one at the highest level of Category5, but I would never want these morons to be gagged no matter what. Our Constitution provides them the complete freedom for their moronery. But perhaps SoniaG may be “unhappy” so the threats of bans. As if she hasn’t already turned this into a “Ban-anee” republic. Ask the “legalised” son!

Here’s a tweet by Sucheta Dalal of Moneylife. She mentions how AirIndia was being looted by the Kleptomaniacs. Giving out free tickets to media houses for their annual summit? What is so surprising about the media mafia? Let me refresh your memory. It’s not just AirIndia but many PSUs that have been misused to dole out funds to private parties of media houses (read this about HT Summit). One of the biggest building contractors of the GOI, GMR Group, doles out sponsorship for CNN-IBN’s spurious IOTY awards. The less said about Tehelka’s THINK the better. Oh and if all that is not enough there’s Nandan Nilekani. The Aadhar champion is a classic case of nepotism, which is the twin sister of Kleptocracy (and you thought Vadra was the only one?). Nilekani is a member of seventeen GOI groups, govt bodies, committees and boards that made Aadhar mandatory for govt benefits. I start a joke and I also hold the power to make it mandatory for you to laugh. Power!


This Kleptocracy is fun, isn’t it? The populist pursuits of the Congis and “sickulars” is now getting to be very predictable. There isn’t even any innovation or creativity in their skulduggery. I predicted  RahulG will land up at Wankhede to watch Sachin Tendulkar’s last Test Match. He would have hoped the popularity and emotions behind Sachin’s event will garner him some more sympathy. You know, we could learn to hate the truth like the Congis and many of our MSM crooks do. Yesterday in Delhi Sheila Dikshit had to plead with women not to leave as RahulG was about to speak. From Chaiwallas to Polishwallas to villagers, Indians don’t have patience with hollow nonsense anymore. They are not willing to be pushed to fear anymore. It’s the Kleptomaniacs who are cowering in fear. Truth has this nasty habit of showing up at the wrong time and exposing everything in a very non-subtle fashion. People aren’t fooled anymore as RahulG realised when the crowds greeted him (Video 0.28 secs). Not a good sign for Kleptomaniacs. 


To be continued
