There are no words to shape up this article, the anger, the frustration and the agony of not being able to do anything as a commoner has left many of us deeply bruised and shaken up the faith in these political parties and the very system – The Democracy.
How far these people are going to stoop their levels has become a BIG question now.
Yesterday after lot of high level drama within BJP party cadres came out a statement clearing Nitin Gadkari of all charges that has been leveled related to his company Purti Group.
The clean chit was given by none other than a Chartered Accountant S. Gurumurthy an RSS man and a close aide of Gadkari. It’s a dangerous precedent before the whole Nation, where allegations of corruption are probed internally and later given a clean chit. If anyone has to go by this then we can all witness a plethora of cases of corruption being probed internally and the definite outcome of the verdict. Who has the audacity to go against the party, and who so ever does either resigned on moral grounds (Mahesh Jethmalani) or grounded by the party itself.
It’s the very party “the BJP” who has always termed CBI as Congress own investigative agency, now what about them? Are they not doing the same? Gone are the days when a politician use to resign amid controversy on moral grounds, but today the morality has taken a backseat, the morality exists, but for others not for them.
If BJP had so much trust in their internal enquiry then why did former president of BJP Bangaru Laxman, got a raw deal from the party then in 2001? The BJP has no answers to it.
It’s time for all of us to see how these political parties behave on a case to case basis. At least there was one solace to see some members of the BJP opposing Gadkari’s continuation as president of the party. Before wrapping up, the damage is already done, however hard they may try to justify their so called internal clean chit, but the message is already written on the wall. Internal squabbling within the party shall cost them their prospects in the coming elections.
So where do the people of this country go from here now? On one hand there is a party which is deep rooted down in scams and corruption. Just dig deep down into your faded memories and look for scams like CWG 2010, 2G Spectrum, Coalgate, DLF – Vadra nexus, Salman Khurshid’s Handicap Scam and on the other side there is an impotent opposition mired amidst their party President’s role in his company Purti Group, other political parties are just showpieces best suited for their own living rooms. Isn't it?
