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.
