INDIAN POLITICS: A COMIC TRAGEDY!!!!

INDIAN POLITICS : A COMIC TRAGEDY !

Financial Scams and scandals in India take place with impunity. And as soon as they are detected, the culprits escape to foreign lands without any hitch. Recent banking fraud walks away with  the cake.. Lakhs of crores of rupees have been embezzled by the thugs with the help of banking officials.  However, Governments, at the centre and state, along with opposition parties indulge in the mutual blame game, while culprits have fun and frolic in the foreign lands on these embezzled funds. What is surprising is the ease with which  they got away from this country under the very nose of authorities, who matter.

Why is there no ECL -- EXIT CONTROL LIST -- to ban the flight out of the country of such individuals? In Pakistan, even an ex Prime Minister and some of his family members have been out on ECL. Why do we allow such cases to be dragged in Indian courts whose USP is to  allow "natural death" through procrastination? There should be a law to carry out summary disposal of cases of rape, financial frauds and treason including terrorism. Why is the BJP government dithering in such a law?

While congress and other opposition parties have lost sense of purpose ; ruling BJP has become a mere JUMLA Party. Rahul Gandhi and his cohorts think that by abusing Narinder Modi, day in and day out, they can win electoral battles. He and his silly advisers do not realise that they were doing a great disservice to their party because it was having a reverse effect. It is bouncing back on Congress. Excess of everything is bad. Rahul Gandhi hardly seems to realise this.

Randeep Surjewala, Munish Tiwari and many other big and small names in the Congress party forget the age old adage: TOO MANY COOKS SPOIL THE BROTH. By linking everything to Narinder Modi, this is what they are doing. Shambholi sugar scam has slammed egg on the face of the congress. In their eagerness to link this case with PM, they Congress tweet scored a self - goal and was embarrassed when it found that Punjab CM's son in Law was linked to it.

Look at the Bhartiya Janta Party. Such a big  banking scam has taken place it is addressing only the effect and not the cause. Vijaya Malaya escaped under its very nose and it is fooling the public by fighting an extradition case in U.K.. Same it has been doing in the case of Lalit Modi. Now Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi are being chased in foreign land.

The government should train its guns on the banks and their management. Arrest all the board of directors and MDs cum CEOs of all such banks and put them behind bars. They are all involved in this. Banks did the same thing during Demonetisation . All bank managers , both private and public, were involved in fraudulent means to help big business men. Government knows about it but none of them is put into jail.

Take the case of Robert Vadra land deals. Why is BJP dilly dallying in arresting him and confiscating his assets. Day in and day out it has been talking about financial misdeeds of  P Chidambram's son. Why is he roaming free? How did the government allow Coalgate accused A Raja and others let go by courts? Was it a botched up inquiry by CBI and others? What about CWG and 2 G scam culprits? No wonder India has slipped to 81 st position in Transparency International's Corruption list. It exposes BJP's inaction and deliberately avoiding pinning down the culprits.

Our Prime Minister might have hiked up India's international image but he has failed to deliver domestically. In public perceptions he is seen to be only making ELECTION JUMLAS but doing nothing beyond this. In fact, people are really wondering if he would ever punish the culprits. Someone commented the other day that it was not in the DNA of BJP to bring scamsters and thugs to books. Some of the BJP bigwigs are related to Congressmen. They cite the case of the wive and sister of two big BJP ministers in the central Government.

It is time BJP and honourable PM take stock of the situation and get to the issue of real time governance. It has to reconsider its political tie-ups with separatist parties, which are doing big harm to her name. It can not its political ally to dictate terms in J& K and demoralise armed forces. Settling of Rohingyas in Jammu region against the tenets of article 370 ought to be questioned. Statement of General Bipin Rawat on increasing Muslim Population in the North East must be taken seriously. There is a deliberate attempt to change the demographic structure of Jammu and North East.

BJP must note that one surgical strike does not make a spring of victories against sponsored terrorism by ISI of Pakistan. It has to get down to business of punishing the culprits real hard in double quick time. Mere statements suggesting that we would respond at a time and a place of our choosing are unconvincing and it amounts to glossing over. Nation wants action and not JUMLAS .

The conduct of two main stream national parties have made India a laughing stock of the world. They are fighting like street urchins. Child- like they accuse each other, while national issues are relegated into background. Is it incompetence or looking after mutual interests of each other while in Government that they take no action? It is a comic tragedy of the nation--- a daily sop played on the national TV News Channels. And today a KPMG- Bureaucracy scam has hit the TV Channels where it has come out that sins and daughters of top IAS officers were appointed in KPMG Firm to seek favours from bureaucrats in key appointments. This was revealed by an IAS officer in an anonymous letter to the Prime Minister in December 2017. What happened to these bureaucrats? It seems they got away without a scratch.
