Congress - Double Standards in Display


There was a large hue and cry when Justice Hegde indicted the former chief minister of Karnataka for his involvement in illegal mining scam. Yes he resigned. BJP just does not have that skill to make large scams of magnitude such as 2G and CWG. The prevalent complaint is indeed Yeddyurapa abused his official powers to benefit few at the cost of state’s exchequer which is definitely an unpatriotic act. It would be naïve if we don’t realize that no political party in this country or for that matter in the whole world is free from corrupt elements. All we can do is, go by the least corrupt party. Within 24 hrs of the release of the lokayukta report on illegal mining action was taken, now that is in a way admirable action taken by the top leadership of BJP. In the same context there were other former CM’s indicted in the report including Kumaraswamy of JDU(S). Congress was up in the arms demanding former CM’s resignation immediately and JDU’s hypocrisy was at display when Kumaraswamy claimed that he is clean though the report was contrary to his assertions. At that time the collective intention was to bring BJP down.

How pity it is when congress does not let go the scam tainted individuals from their posts. Sheila Dixit, Chidambaram and others for example. With respect to Karnataka lokayukta ‘s latest order to file an FIR on SM Krishna, does the GOP of India don’t have commonsense and moral compass to send Krishna out of foreign ministry? What a shame it is. Unperturbed by the FIR Krishna moves to HC of Karnataka to stop the proceedings, a shameful act. I hope the people of this country will give a response in next elections. Lack of people activism is another reason why the corrupt elements flourish in our society. Not to say that we have started slowly through social networking and congress is feared of that development, that’s why the loyal servants of the master are trying out with innovative ways to block the dissent from spreading in web space. If congress wants to do walk the talk first it must relieve itself from the baggage that it is the most corrupt party which Independent India has ever witnessed and it must have the courage to tell the scam tainted/accused individuals to say get out and prove that it is not a party of DOUBLE STANDARDS.
