SCAMS.. perhaps the only word that hasn't changed in the headlines and front pages of newspapers for about a year now. Before we could even take our eyes off one scam, the next one comes rolling in with even greater money involved or with even better storyline. The UPA II regime seems to be mired in scams.. 2G, Commonwealth Games, CVC, ISRO scandals and before our dearest PM Mr. Manmohan Singh could even take his head out of the pond of scandals to breathe a bit, the cash for votes scandal came crashing on his head making him cut a sorrier figure than ever.
What was even more shocking was that he never dealt with the allegations head on.. thereby giving away the impression of the UPA Govt. being guilty. His defence was all the more shoddy. His remarks raised quite a few eyebrows when he stated that the cash-for-votes episode occurred during the regime of UPA I and that the coalition government has won the people's mandate and reborn as UPA II was enough to absolve its previous avatar of any charges that might be levelled against it.
Yes, Mr. PM you are absolutely right. Politics in India is all about winning the election. Isn't it my friends?? Hats off to your honesty. Democracy (forget the dictionary meaning) in India has just been reduced to the right to vote. And Manmohan Singh said exactly the same thing in a bit tweaked manner. Times change and so do the literal meaning of words. And now democracy has its slang meaning too.
We all know India is on the path of redefining the world's economy and our PM has rightly taken a few bold steps of redefining few crucial words. So now we stumble on the new meaning which goes as follows-
Democracy - A Govt. of the people, by the people with a sole motive of getting reelected.
In 1991 Manmohan Singh redefined India's economy which opened the gates to private players. 20 years hence he has redefined India's democracy, which has opened the gates to any party who has people's mandate to play its own scam game.
As for now good move Mr. PM. Keep up the scams, scandals and sins backstage while Rahul Gandhi continues his road shows. Keep up amassing wealth and we 'the foolish aam aadmi' will keep reelecting you. The best part is that in every new term you will be purged of the scams,scandals and sins of the previous ones. And if someday if you get bogged down by a great amount of sins committed, you can of course turn to take a dip in the Holy Ganges(which by the way has become very polluted purging our sins). The manner in which your list of bad deeds will get refreshed every 5 years and the list of good ones will keep adding on I am pretty sure you will get a ticket to swarg lok when you depart leaving behind your magnificent marks in our politics.
Brush up your knowledge guys.. I have brushed mine and get rid of old books. New ones are in the press.
As the Parliament's soap opera continues we are expecting many more changes. What's next Mr. PM
