The Hitjobs BAR:
It started with
a mild but failed attack on Smriti Irani and her education few weeks back. Modi must answer the BAR screamed. BAR
is the lowest bar in Indian TV journalism (Barkha, Arnab, Rajdeep). Then they
turned to Sushma Swaraj and kept up the hit-jobs for a few days. Modi must answer! Then they hit the
bounty with Lalit Modi and Vasundhara Raje and they kept up their stupid
attacks for nearly four weeks. Modi must
answer! Arnab the clown even started demanding resignations and “ordering”
the PM to sack Raje as if he was the Pope. The resignation-demanding business
stopped after #Arnabgate trended
worldwide. In between for spice they added Pankaja Munde. Modi must answer! – No resignation still. Like bowlers who went
wicket-less for a whole Test series they kicked and screamed about LM and Raje till
this happened:
LM threw a bomb
by naming Sonia Gandhi. SUDDEN DEATH! All the media morons went
totally dead as dodos over LM and Raje issue. The very mention of SoniaG makes
them wet their pants and skirts. Modi
must answer, morons? I don’t know why but I estimate media houses must have
something to with funding from the West but I cannot be sure. Here’s the best
part when LM exploded the Sonia bomb:
So the little
cowardni had not guts to talk about SoniaG but says she substituted SG with
Vadra. At other times the Congis claim Vadra is a private citizen but Congress
defender Barkha “merged” Sonia and Vadra into one entity. Fantastic! And the
BAR criminals also raked up Raje’s Dholpur
palace property as a scam. Then this happened:
Jairam Ramesh
was strutting around and claiming a scam on this. Once it turned out the
property was transferred by a court to Raje & Co. the little cowardni from
NDTV says it blunts the Congress attack. Thankfully,
Modi doesn’t have to answer! She finds no crime in the lies and half-baked
claims of J Ramesh and Surjit Bhalla rightly chastises her skulduggery in slyly
protecting the Congress. What to do now? Let’s pick up a new thread!
So they pick up
the Vyapam scam – an MP govt recruit
scam. This has been going on since the days of Digvijay Singh when he was CM. And suddenly the resignation chant
came again – this time for Shivraj
Chouhan to resign. Remember, it was Chouhan who ordered the STF and later a
court ordered SIT to investigate the scam. The BAR claims 40 deaths were
connected to the Vyapam scam. Nobody tells you that the deaths supposedly
related to the scam were from 2009 onward and half the deaths have happened
prior to 2014. Diggy even used a fraudulent
document and presented it to the SIT claiming Chouhan was directly involved
in some 48 appointments in the scam. This is a criminal act by Diggy and
amounts to forgery and perjury. Chouhan had threatened legal action but I’m not sure he is going to go through with
it. And despite knowing the document was a fraud, Arnab gladly used it to do
hitjobs on Chouhan. I hope the clown at
TimesNow never talks about his so called “integrity” again.
In the Vyapam
scam 2000 have been arrested of which it seems 1800 or so are people from
Digvijay’s tenure. Is that why the man is personally interested in the case? He
even went to SC demanding a CBI probe which the SC dismissed. Finally Chouhan
has demanded a CBI probe yesterday. Regardless of CBI, STF or SIT the scam
warrants speedy investigation and, more importantly, the criminals need to be
punished. There are conflicting reports on the related deaths but regardless,
those deaths that are murders must also be investigated and criminals
prosecuted. Shivraj Chouhan does not appear to be personally involved and has
not condoned any of these crimes. He is the one who started the investigations.
But there is a severe warning from him – He cannot let MP become a state where
goons and criminals operate with such freedom.
And that is what
brings us to the core of this post – That criminals in India operate with impunity.
They are either protected by politicians or if they are prosecuted, our courts
ensure they take 786 years to hear and give out judgements. This is a shameful state
of affairs.
Dare Different:
On most fronts
ModiSarkar is doing quite well and there isn’t much to complain about which is
why our media is trying to dig holes and get buried themselves. There is, of
course, one important thing Modi said during the LS election campaign – That people
not only want to throw out the Congress but
they want the corrupt to be punished. This is where GOI appears reluctant
to speed up even pending cases. There is Raja, Kanimozhi, Marans, Sonia and
Rahul and probably many others. In contrast, they have showed sudden urgency in
acting against Lalit Modi. The GOI supporters are also wary and some even
against prosecuting SoniaG in the National Herald case because they fear it may
gain her sympathy and bring her back to power. They relate the situation to
that of IndiraG coming back to power in 1980. This is not only a bogus principle but extremely faulty logic.
Arun Jaitley is
on record stating that if Congress returns the money to NH the case can be
ended. Not the kind of words that one would like to hear from a Minister in a
govt that has promised to prosecute the corrupt. Surprisingly, Congress now
claims its running out of money and asks its Karyakartas to donate. And it
would take Brahma to visit and convince me all the NH money only went to
Congress and not individuals. It seems BJP is as scared of touching SoniaG as
much as the media is scared of mentioning the Queen’s name. The comparison by
supporters with the IndiraG era is faulty like I stated.
In 1977 the
Janata Party (called Khichdi govt by
IndiraG) came into majority against expectations. Congress still had a decent
number, mostly from the South which didn’t face the brunt of Emergency. This
Khichdi govt of multiple parties had many contenders who fought to be PM. There
was Morarji Desai, Devi Lal, Chandra Shekhar, Charan Singh and maybe some more.
It was Jaiprakash Narayan who appointed Morarji Desai PM and others accepted
his decision. Predictably, this Khichdi govt botched up the prosecution of
IndiraG and once she was out of jail (she was jailed for a few days) she sang a
song to the greedy Charan Singh and
promised to make him PM with Congress support. He obliged and withdrew from the
Morarji govt. Thus Charan Singh became PM. Few months later IndiraG showed she
had fooled Charan Singh and withdrew support and pulled his govt down.
Elections were announced in 1980, that’s the year BJP was formed and people didn’t
want another unstable, constantly fighting Khichdi. So they opted for IndiraG
for stability.
Is that the case
with ModiSarkar and current govt? It is the first time in independent India
that a truly non-Congress govt has been elected with a clear majority of its
own. Even without the NDA allies the BJP has clear majority. And Congress
crimes and corruption are now known across India because of media, social media
and other forms of communication. In 1980 India didn’t have TV in households
and nor was there was SM. News and information travels much faster today than
it ever did before. Everyone with a mobile camera is or is a potential
journalist reporting from many corners of the country. Neither the Congress nor
Sonia have any place to hide. The other parties with corrupt ministers from
previous govts also do not have a place to hide. There is hardly a need to file
new cases even. If GOI speeds up prosecution of existing cases in consultation
with the CJI that itself would be a major achievement. Congress has a history
of toppling govts whether 1977 or in the 1990s. This time they don’t see that
chance and that’s why their wild, belligerent screaming inside and outside the
parliament with lies and half-baked information.
I would never
expect a Congress or a Khichdi (like DMK, JDU or RJD types) to prosecute the
corrupt. I believe people only expect Modi to initiate this – not even the BJP as
a party. And this is one call ModiSarkar must answer and the PM need not answer
stupid, belligerent media crooks. I don’t expect any black money to come back
and I’ve said that before.
But acting against the corrupt is well within GOI’s power. Willing to dare
different from all previous govts is what will send the right message.
